From today on is the king

Chapter 15 15. Successful defense!
What a dunk!Liu Mang hasn't tried whether he can dunk a basketball yet, and he seems to have some scenes of dunking handsomely in front of the school girls in his memory. After all, Georgia Tech, a famous basketball school, is the first school team player with NBA status after Stephon Marbury, and he still has a local reputation in Atlanta.

However, the ability value of 46!Even if the bonus of the gangsters on the bench reached 60, Liu Mang, a guy who never knew how the basket feels, didn't want to try to dunk.

And isn't a layup also a score!What are you talking about!
After the layup was hit, Liu Mang heard a "wow" on the scene, and Liu Wei said that he didn't hear it, and the young master scored!
He scored in two consecutive games, and Liu Mang expressed his excitement. In 2001, apart from Gasol Jr., Battier, dunk king Richardson and the general who fell to the second round, it seemed that no other rookie had the ability to score 10 points in a single game!It is also rare to score in two consecutive games!Even the No. 0 high school student hand-picked by Jordan had 0 points, 3 rebounds and [-] turnovers in the opening game!

After the layup, Liu Mang immediately ran back to the half court to high-five his teammates. Unexpectedly, Jason Terry also came up to high-five, expressing a happy cooperation, but Jason-Terry's expression made it clear that the only thing about defending Iverson together was when he agreed with Liu Mang.

Liu Mang ignored Jason Terry and did his own work with a high five. He was destined not to be friends with someone like Jason Terry, and who could say for sure about his future career.

Iverson ran back to his own half and received a serve from Aaron McGee who ran back together and advanced to the frontcourt. Instead of being angry because of the double-teaming of the three, Iverson was even more excited!

Because the opponent is double-teamed by three people, it is obviously important to him!Players like Iverson in the 90s understood the opponent's thoughts when they double-teamed in this way. Of course, his understanding was correct. Liu Mang, Raheem, and Jason Terry all felt that if they didn't play together, Iverson would be completely unable to defend against today's berserk Iverson.

Iverson dribbles and continues to play singles. The offensive tactics of the 76ers is that Iverson alone eats meat and others drink soup. This has been proved to be absolutely correct and the most suitable style of play for Iverson last season. Of course, this has to be Iverson at his peak.

Iverson dribbled the ball and looked at Liu Mang's defense. It was obvious that this rookie had made a bet to block his right flank. Iverson really didn't expect to encounter such a defense. Is he conscious enough and bold enough, or is he just a bastard who is not afraid of things?
Iverson didn't pay attention to Liu Mang any more. His curiosity had already faded away. In his opinion, Liu Mang might be able to become a rotation player in the NBA by relying on his brain.

Iverson felt it was time to blow everything up and end the game.

Iverson moved slowly to the left, and Liu Mang continued to focus mainly on Iverson's left. He was very sure that no matter how Iverson faked his moves, there was a 90.00% chance that Iverson would go behind.

Just then, Iverson raised his right hand sharply.

Liu Mang yelled inwardly that it was bad!
The biggest change of direction of Iverson's flower-piercing butterfly step is to raise his hand in the opposite direction of the breakthrough and slap it suddenly, and then move it sideways in the opposite direction of the shooting hand. Often, just this one can shake the opponent away.

Liu Mang could no longer stick to his judgment, and subconsciously moved to the right.

Counted!
Iverson slapped the ball quickly to the right with his right hand, then slammed across to the right, completely obliterating Liu Mang and rushing into the three-point line without a pause!
horrible!After Liu Mang was completely swayed twice, he finally understood why everyone seemed to be throwing in the opposite direction like a fool in front of Iverson's breakthrough. It was not a problem of defensive awareness, nor was it a defensive attitude. Move laterally!The terrifying ability to change direction and the unparalleled control over the ball cannot be found in the second person!

Once again, Liu Mang was shaken so that his whole body was out of position, and he didn't do anything else. After losing his position, Liu Mang turned around and chased after Iverson.

Feeling the horror, Liu Mang rushed behind Iverson, but Iverson had already made an emergency stop. Before Liu Mang who rushed back arrived, and before Raheem and Jason Terry double-teamed in place, he made a two-point jump shot!

Iverson played with the outside defender in this offensive shot, judged the gap before the inside double-teaming was completed, and grasped the time difference between the time for the defender who was played by the outside to rush in and continue to defend the distance needed to run.
Textbook-level teaching case of lone wolf singles!

But this position is no longer the three-point line, which is a reference shooting point, and the mid-to-short range, which is a very easy-to-practice shooting range, but a real two-pointer.

Iverson's breakthrough to create a perfect shooting space made everyone on the scene, whether it was his fans or not, exclaimed.

It's a pity that the ball bounced high on the basket.

rebound!
Both Ratliff and Mutombo are defensive insiders with extremely strong defenses. They are the only two contenders for the block king since the 97-98 season. Last season, Ratliff won the block king, and Mutombo was overwhelming.

And Mutombo was the rebounding leader last season!The rebounding ability is much better than Ratliff!

but!

Ratliff had already discussed with Muhammad when he saw Coleman stretching out the corner three-point line to open up space for Iverson. Ratliff only focused on blocking Mutombo's rebounding position after Iverson shot. Ben Wallace in the peak period, but being stuck in such a rogue style, there is nothing wrong with it. Muhammad rushed to grab the defensive rebound and passed it to Jason Terry.

Jason Terry, who has always had the ball to do it, suddenly made a gesture to suppress the rhythm, saying that he would not fight back and lay down, because Aaron McGee and Raja Bell knew that Iverson would not pass the ball.

The 76ers' defensive counterattack is quite powerful. Iverson's counterattack is called a bull. Last season, when his finishing ability was mediocre and his teammates' scoring ability was poor, he could still guarantee a 40.00% three-point shooting rate.

Jason Terry suppressed the rhythm, and the 76ers did not press down and retreated quickly.

Liu Mang just wanted to run to the frontcourt to stand in the bottom corner to open up space, because of the offense, let alone, I really don’t have much confidence, with a comprehensive ability value of 60, to face Iverson, a small defensive expert with a defensive value of 77, is he looking for death?

However, life is so wonderful.

"Rookie, here you are!"

With a voice of disgust from the bottom of his heart, Liu Mang just turned his head when the ball flew over, and Liu Mang subconsciously dribbled through the half court.

"..."

After halftime, Liu Mang was so confused that Jason Terry actually passed the ball to him!
