NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 333

"How is it? Yao, can you do my pass?"

"Even Olajuwon, he can't pass such a wonderful pass!"

After Ao Pang passed the ball and assisted Bosh to score a goal, he was even more beautiful than completing a dunk at the basket, and he pulled Yao Ming to show off.

In the past three years, he has been under the pressure of Yao Ming, but he is quite open-minded, and he does not resent Yao Ming. Every time he meets Yao Ming, he will joke around.

Yao Ming smiled and nodded, "It was indeed a wonderful pass, Shaq, you have become stronger again."

Ao Fat's mouth grinned to the back of his head, he wished he could grab the sideline cameraman and let Yao Ming say it again, so that the whole world could hear Yao Ming's evaluation of him.

It was the offensive round of the Philadelphia 76ers again, and Yao Ming still received the ball near the free throw line. This time, he did not rush to split the ball, but waited until Prince ran over. After passing the ball to Prince, he turned sideways and made a pick-and-roll for Prince.

Prince hit two points.

After the Bobcats' offensive round, Hill repeated his tricks and passed the ball to O'Pang.

Stoudemire didn't dare to throw away Bosh this time, and went to the basket to help Yao Ming defend Ao Pang.

Seeing that there was a one-on-one chance, Ao Pang's huge body resisted Yao Ming, ready to turn over and dunk.

Yao Ming knew that it was almost impossible for him to defend against Ao Pang, so he simply wrapped his arms around Ao Pang, and then the referee whistled.

Because Ao Pang already had a shot, this foul allowed him to get a free throw.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

After walking to the free throw line, Ao Pang made two consecutive free throws.

Oban looked at his hands in disbelief. He played almost 76 games against the Philadelphia [-]ers. This was the first time he made two free throws in the opening game.

This is a good sign, and he has a hunch that he will definitely lead his team to beat the Philadelphia Dynasty tonight.

After the opening, the Bobcats have a great advantage.

Unfortunately, after Carlesimo called a timeout, the Philadelphia 76ers stabilized the situation.

Kumbu had to admit that Carlesimo did have something in his mind, and he had more ideas than himself in using Yao Ming.

Under normal circumstances, Adelman actually coached Yao Ming and also played in the Princeton system. Unfortunately, it turned out that Yao Ming was not suitable for Princeton at all. The old Adelman's experiment in the Rockets ended without a problem.

If Princeton was suitable for Yao Ming, Combe would have used it when he coached the Philadelphia 76ers.

After being in the hands of Carlesimo, he improved the Princeton system a bit, and the effect was really good, absolutely maximizing all the characteristics of Yao Ming.

There are advantages and disadvantages. Yao Ming's tactical position has been strengthened, and Iverson's tactical position has been greatly reduced.

If an inside player does not have the ball, he is not necessarily the leader of the team, but if an outside player does not have the ball, then he is definitely not the team leader.

The tactical status has declined, which is equivalent to depriving Iverson of his status as the boss of the team.

Iverson was naturally dissatisfied, but he still took into account his friendship with Yao Ming and did not tear himself apart with Carlesimo.

Until the end of the first quarter, the Bobcats failed to expand the point difference, and the point difference between the two teams remained at about five points.

Kumbu didn't intend to make a substitution. There is really no one to change. There is only Pippen on the bench.

The Philadelphia 76ers also did not make substitutions, and the starting five were put on the court to smash the Bobcats.

Carlesimo wanted to win this game very much. With the dynasty team created by Kumbu, if he lost to Kumbu's new army, it would be unreasonable anyway.

And Carlesimo is also very clear that once the Philadelphia 76ers lose, the contradictions hidden in the original winning streak may also erupt.

For example, will Iverson attribute the loss to Carlesimo's tactics?

When the game entered the middle of the second quarter, Jill couldn't bear it anymore.

He is the oldest player on the court. At the age of 35, if he allocates his playing time reasonably, he will not have a big problem playing for three to 10 minutes.

However, both sides are dead tonight, and Jill has played 19 consecutive minutes on the court.

Kumbu had no choice but to replace Jill, who was tired and out of breath, and put Slee, who was not very bright.

Slee came on the field, and the effect was immediate. Gerrard scored four points in a row, made 2 of 2 free throws, and added a shot in the sports game, directly tying the score.

When there were less than 20 seconds left in the first half, the 76ers had already led by five points.

The last round was the 76ers' offensive round.

Yao Ming received the ball from the free throw line, Iverson cut to the basket, received a pass from Yao Ming and prepared to shoot.

At this moment, Iverson, who was jumping, collided with Hinrich, who was chasing to defend, in mid-air, and both of them fell to the floor.

Hinrich was not a big problem, and soon got up by himself.

On the other hand, Iverson was covering his knees with a painful expression.

Kong Bu's heart skipped a beat. Players would often not get up on their own after falling down. They usually had to pretend to be able to get the whistle from the referee.

Iverson is obviously not this character, he may really be injured.

Against the Magic a few days ago, McGrady was injured and was reimbursed for the season directly.

Against the Philadelphia 76ers tonight, even if Comb really wants to win this game, he definitely doesn't want to see the tragedy of Iverson being reimbursed for the season.

For players like Tracy McGrady and Iverson, their bodies are their greatest capital. Once they suffer from serious injuries that cannot be fully recovered, their competitive strength will also decline significantly.

Under normal circumstances, Iverson's body has actually been kept quite healthy, with frequent minor injuries and very few major injuries. The only season he was reimbursed was the 03-04 season. He was reimbursed for half of the season, which caused the team to fail to enter the playoffs.

Yao Ming rushed up to check on Iverson's injuries. He had partnered with Iverson for three years, and it was the first time he saw this strong little man with such a painful expression on his face.

Yao Ming also panicked for a while.

Moments later, the Philadelphia 76ers doctor came on and carried Iverson off the court on a stretcher.

Hinrich looked embarrassed. Iverson's injury was not intentional, but it must have something to do with him. If it hadn't been for the mid-air collision, Iverson would not have landed unstable and fell to his knee.

Thinking of the relationship between Comb and Iverson, Hinrich was afraid that Comb would blame himself after the game.

The Philadelphia 76ers still had the ball. Yao Ming missed the shot, and the first half of the game officially ended.

After returning to the locker room, Combe noticed Hinrich's strange expression, smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Take it easy, man."

"Injury is the most normal thing on the court. There is no player who is not injured."

"You didn't do anything wrong. It was a normal defensive action. I know you didn't intend to hurt Iverson."

"Don't put any pressure on yourself, you played really well tonight."

Iverson is the most popular player in the league today, not even one of them. He is the king of popularity. If someone gives Hinrich a shit bowl for deliberately hurting Iverson, Hinrich will definitely be unable to eat.

After Kumbu reassured him, Hinrich was still very worried. He hoped more than anyone else that Iverson would be fine and come back after one or two games.

"Stop thinking about it, you just did what you were supposed to do."

"You can't really just watch Iverson make an empty basket, can you? In that case, I should doubt your professionalism. Any defensive player will make the same choice as you at that moment."

Comb feels sorry for Iverson and doesn't want Iverson to get hurt, but that doesn't mean he thinks Hinrich has done something wrong.

That is a very normal defensive action, what can Iverson do if he is unlucky.

There were no footsteps, no mid-air pushes, no tricks, and the referee didn't even call Hinrich for a foul.

Hinrich felt much more relaxed, not as anxious as before.

In the locker room, there was a player who was very upset at the moment, sitting on the bench and ignoring anyone, as if the whole world owed him his salary.

This person is of course Pippen.

Pippen was angry, angry at Combe.

He thought it was Kongbu's idea that he was traded to the Bobcats. Kongbu took a fancy to his immediate combat power and wanted to make himself the last puzzle piece of the Bobcats dynasty.

He is very clear that he will definitely not be able to start in the Bobcats, unless Hill becomes a glass man again.

But if he can't play the starter, the chief substitute should be able to play, right?As a result, when Jill couldn't stand it in the first half, Combe would rather play Slee, who had an IQ of 68, than let him play.

Pippen felt deeply insulted.

Comb noticed Pippen's unhappy expression, and he ignored Pippen directly. If he went to talk to Pippen now, Pippen might complain a lot.

Just leave him alone, anyway, the Bobcats don't need Pippen very much.

……

The second half of the game begins.

Iverson retired from injury, and the bearded Davis on the bench came into battle.

Comb knows that the balance of victory has gradually tilted towards their Bobcats.

Davis is definitely not weak, but he is not suitable for Carlesimo's pseudo-Princeton system.

Iverson has a good air cutting ability, Davis is much worse in this aspect, and his basket is not particularly accurate. He is the kind of player who needs to have the ball in his hand at all times to play at the level.

Now the ball is all in the hands of Yao Ming, Davis has a very strong ability, and it is not bad to be able to score five points.

Sure enough, after Davis came on the court, the effect was not ideal. He suffered from Hinrich's strict defense on the offensive end, and he hardly had any sense of presence.

By the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats overtook the point difference again, leading by four points.

In this quarter of the game, Ao Pang fought desperately with Yao Ming under the basket, and the two super giant centers were inextricably fighting under the basket.

In the absence of Stoudemire's interference, it is difficult for Yao Ming to limit Ao Pang's offense alone.

And once Stoudemire came to interfere, Bosh must be at the point guard. Tonight, O'Pang almost passed the number of passes he had made in the Lakers in one month, and fed Bosh to his full.

Carlesimo is dying in a hurry. Now that Iverson is injured, if the team loses, it's hard to blame him as the coach.

But he still doesn't want to lose, because the Philadelphia 76ers have not lost a game so far this season. Carlesimo has great ambitions. He feels that he may hit the record of unbeaten seasons.

After Kumbu entered the league, he led his team to 70+ wins in a single season for several seasons, but even Kumbu never led his team to a season-long victory.

Carlesimo feels that with their Philadelphia 76ers lineup, as long as they are a little bit lucky, winning the season is not a dream.

If it is really done, the name Carlesimo will definitely become a legend.

In a few decades, fans of later generations will not care who built this 76ers lineup. They will only remember that it was Carlesimo, the passing coach, who won the season.

It's a pity that this dream is about to be shattered, because the situation on the field is getting more and more unfavorable for the Philadelphia 76ers.

Carlesimo simply tried to chop the shark against Opang, knowing that this might be the only chance to win tonight.

In the first three quarters, O'Pang was not targeted. It's not that Carlesimo was soft-hearted, but O'Pang's free throws felt good. He made 9 free throws and made 6 of them, with a hit rate of more than [-]%.

The situation on the field left Carlesimo with no choice, and Ao Pang was his only chance.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Ao Pang missed two free throws, which made Carlesimo ecstatic.

One minute later, there were two more "swish" sounds on the court, and O'Pang made two free throws again. Carlesimo's original ecstatic mood became depressed again.

After being depressed for half a minute, Ao Pang missed two free throws again, and he was ecstatic again.

Carlesimo felt that his heart couldn't take it anymore, as long as O'Fang walked to the free throw line, his heart would jump out of his chest.

The torture continued until the final 30 seconds of the game.

With Ao Pang making two free throws, the Bobcats have led by seven points, basically declaring that the Philadelphia 76ers lost the game.

At the last moment, Stoudemire still wanted to struggle, and shot a three-pointer from the outside. Unfortunately, he was not at that level, and this three-pointer was almost impossible.

"Dudududu!"

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Bobcats fans cheered wildly.

Winning the Philadelphia 76ers represented their home team, the Bobcats, officially among the favourites.

Ao Pang's data tonight is a bit weird.

34分5篮板11助攻3盖帽1抢断，不知道的还以为是某个擅长盖帽的控卫打出来的数据。

He really died with Yao Ming on the rebounding end. If he couldn't grab the rebounds, Yao Ming couldn't even try to grab them.

Yao Ming's statistics are not bad, 32 points, 8 rebounds, 13 assists and 1 block. His field goal percentage in sports games is not as good as that of O'Pang, but if free throws are counted, his offensive efficiency is almost the same as O'Pang's.

Anyway, the statistics of these two super giant centers tonight are amazing enough.

Compared with the position of power forward, Stoudemire highlighted a fuss tonight. The defensive end always wanted to block Ao Pang, but it was a pity that Ao Pang didn't give him this opportunity.

On the offensive end, his basket is not accurate, and he can only look for opportunities to shoot under the basket. O'Pang is not a vegetarian, and all three caps were obtained by Stoudemire.

A total of 12 points, 6 rebounds and 3 turnovers were recorded in the game.

On the other hand, Bosh's performance was much better than Stoudemire's. It's not that Bosh's combat power is better than Stoudemire's. It's just that Bosh played more rationally tonight. He knows what he should do on the court.

Of the 11 assists that O'Pang gave, 8 of them were assisted by Bosh.

Bosh scored 27 points and 5 rebounds.

The two pairs of peerless twin towers formed by Kumbu, obviously, the combination of Oban Bosh is stronger tonight.
