Chapter 224 [Fearless, press mute]
The second half started with 76ers attacking first, and Snow assisted Mutombo to score in the penalty area. Bookmark this site 65 to 57.
Mutombo used a "zombie hook" sideways and hit O'Neal. This move is ugly, and it is still a slow motion, but his height and wingspan is used to hit the target rate.
After Guo Xu played the pick-and-roll, Torto Elon missed a layup from the left, and the rebound was grabbed by Mutombo.
The 76ers positional battle, after several passes, Iverson broke through and attracted double-teams to pass the ball to Teelon, who made another empty cut in the middle. 65 to 59.
O'Neal's low-post offense caused a foul and missed two free throws.
76ers attacked, Iverson played double screen to catch the ball and got rid of Guo Xu, passed O'Neal and scored a layup. 65 to 61.
Zhang Heli commented: "Iverson's ability to use screens to run without the ball and shoot after receiving the ball. In this regard, he is very similar to Guo Xu. After being blocked by a big man, it is really difficult for the defender to chase and defend."
Xu Jicheng said: "The offensive tactic of the 76ers is to provide cover for Iverson and help him create catch and mobile phone opportunities. Others have much less offensive ability and can only play like this."
This is the case from the perspective of commentators from various countries. From the perspective of Aimee, Iverson never relies on cover.
At this time, Guo Xu made a mistake in passing the ball to Kobe. Snow's successful steal was passed to McGee, who made a single-time breakthrough and scored on the basketball. 65 to 63.
The 76ers home fans stood up and ovated and cheered, and saw hope of winning again.
Zhang Heli analyzed: "The Lakers underestimated the opponent after two big wins. They didn't do well enough on the defensive end, but if they played like this, the game would be better. The previous two games were one-sided, and there was no suspense."
Xu Jicheng said: "At this time, someone in the Lakers must come forward and score."
Guo Xu received the ball and missed the three-pointer, and O'Neal grabbed the rebound. He forced himself to attack for a second time and was pulled by Mutombo and sent to the free throw line.
O'Neal felt bad today and missed two free throws, and Mutombo grabbed the rebound.
Iverson forced a breakthrough in the positional battle, and Guo Xu followed closely. Iverson turned around and jumped back, his body tilted sharply, and forced his attack with one kick on Guo Xu.
Guo Xu could not block it, but the ball was too difficult. When the frame popped out, the referee even blew up Guo Xu's defensive foul and sent Iverson to the free throw line.
If the regular season begins, Guo Xu would want to talk to the referee for a few words. "Is there a foul on the slap?"
Now he is used to it, he is too lazy to talk nonsense. This is the case with the NBA star whistle. Big-name stars will get a lot of free throws, and if they have the same physical contact, they will have no whistle.
Iverson is not controversial anymore because he is fast, small and has a sharp breakthrough. In Guo Xu's previous life, a bearded man made a breakthrough three steps slower and fouled as soon as he touched it. He often relied on one point to dominate the game. Unfortunately, the NBA playoffs were very fierce, and he could not win the championship by free throws, so when he did not get more than 10 free throws in the playoffs, a group of fans shouted the black whistle.
When Iverson was free throwing, some fans shouted MVP outside the court, and he made one of two free throws, 65-64.
If it were the coaches of other teams, they would have requested a pause at this time. "Zen Master" Phil Jackson narrowed his eyes and seemed to be about to fall asleep. He didn't even have the interest to leave his seat and go to the sidelines to yell at the player.
Pause, what's that? Aren't the Lakers still one point ahead? Let's talk about it when they are 10 points behind.
Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, O'Neal covered him one meter outside the three-point line in the middle, and did not run to the low post, and the star began to adjust himself.
O'Neal knew that he didn't feel good at shooting today, so he would definitely hit the free throw line when he went to the low post.
Iverson focused most of his energy on the offensive end. Unexpectedly, O'Neal was covered so far and blocked strongly. Guo Xu moved the ball across the right, and Mutombo did not come out, mainly defending the breakthrough. He took a step back and took a three-pointer of 70 degrees, and the ball entered the net hollow!
68 to 64, the 25th point in the individual.
Zhang Heli said excitedly: "Good ball, Guo Xu made a priceless three-pointer. At this time, the Lakers need a goal to stabilize the situation."
The 76ers attacked, and after Iverson played the pick-and-roll, he wanted to get a three-pointer, but he also moved sideways and stepped back and jumped. The ball went out of the basket, and O'Neal grabbed the backcourt rebound.
Mutombo is not good at defending the defender and three-pointers, so he is tired and old. O'Neal won the first two games too easily, and he feels impossible to lose, so he wants to grab a few more rebounds.
The Lakers attacked, and Guo Xu played pick-and-roll with O'Neal again in the middle. This time Mutombo stood relatively well, so Guo Xu immediately chose to break through.
He did not make a fake move. When he was about to close his body, he slapped the ball with his right hand and changed direction to the left side significantly and successfully passed by speed. He pulled the ball and flew forward to the free throw line in the middle to shoot with one hand. At the same time, he avoided Iverson's chasing block and Teelon's squeezing block, and the ball was hollowed into the net!
70 to 64, the 27th point in the individual.
Zhang Heli said: "Guo Xu has begun to show his strength. He is now like the Lakers' first core. His opponent can cut O'Neal and dare not cut him. He scored 5 points in a row against high-intensity defense."
Xu Jicheng said: "I think he can be selected into the top five goals this time... The 76ers made a mistake in passing."
Iverson ran back from 45 degrees to the outside line and got rid of Guo Xu once by fake moves. Unfortunately, McGee was also shaken by him. He thought Iverson was going to cut into the inside line, and passed the ball directly out of the sideline, giving the ball to the Lakers.
Guo Xu and O'Neal first played pick-and-roll and failed to get rid of Iverson. He passed the ball to O'Neal in the middle and ran to the left corner. He paused for a moment and suddenly changed direction and ran to the bottom line to the right. Grant made an unball cover, and Iverson was blocked again.
What the 76ers fear most is Kobe. Guo Xu and the two of them played this kind of baseline cooperation, and they basically couldn't defend the first two games. Teeron did not change defense because once he changed, Grant could play Iverson alone by receiving the ball at a low post, which was about the same as an open position.
In the first two games, the Lakers staged a good show of catching the ball at a low post to play Iverson, which was too bullying. The 76ers did not replace the defender in the interior, and it was difficult to interfere with the shooting by rotation in the bottom corner.
O'Neal saw the opportunity at a high position and passed it to Guo Xu. Guo Xu turned around to catch the ball, and jumped into the net with a very comfortable rhythm and a three-pointer.
73 to 64, the 30th point in the individual.
Zhang Heli smiled and said, "I scored 8 points in a row. Guo Xu has already scored 30 points in this quarter. He really dares to vote, really enter!"
Xu Jicheng smiled and said, "I don't know if Guo Xu reads the comments online. His shooting percentage in the first two games was high, but his score was not as good as Iverson. Some fans still think Iverson is better. Today, his score will also suppress Iverson."
The 76ers attacked, and Iverson planned to add one, which is what all fans hope to see. At this time, the 76 team needed him to stand up.
Iverson and Mutombo got rid of Guo Xu in the middle, changed their direction and jumped, and made a fearless layup in the face of O'Neal's interference.
In the last game, Iverson was knocked over by O'Neal at the right position and still dared to attack in this way. He was fearless. He avoided the cover by speed, the ball bounced out of the frame, and the person flew out of the bottom line.
When the fans were moved by Iverson's spirit, Guo Xu received a pass from Kobe in the fast break and no one defended it. He did not wait for Snow to make up for defense and pounce on the left 60 degrees, nor did he wait for his teammates to follow up, and directly scored three-pointers.
Snow came over and could only reach out and interfere slightly. Before he could jump, the ball entered!
76 to 64, Guo Xu scored 33.
When Guo Xu returned to defense, his index finger stood up in the center of his mouth and made a swearing gesture. The Philadelphia fans just became quiet, and they were unwilling to believe what happened. It seemed like Guo Xu was "silenced".
