NBA Tyrant

Chapter 74

Howard played 18 minutes in the half, shooting 9-of-12 from the field and 2-of-4 from the free-throw line, finishing with 20 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

Iverson played 21 minutes, shooting 14-of-19, 2-of-2 from three-point range and 7-of-7 from the free-throw line to finish with 37 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

In the second quarter of the game, under the Magic's change of defensive strategy, targeted attrition and double packing, Iverson's shooting and shooting percentage dropped significantly.

And the Magic effectively cut off the connection between Iverson and his teammates.

And even after Iverson's pass, the rest of the Digital Humans didn't take advantage of the opportunity.

In particular, there was no strong second scorer to step up and share the huge defensive pressure for Iverson.

It can be said that for Iverson's defense and the offensive play of the digital team, the Magic team has successfully cracked it, and now the difference is to find back the missing touch of the players.

In the away team's dressing room.

Everyone on the Magic team sat in front of their respective wardrobes, listening carefully to head coach Johnny's summary of the first half and the arrangement of the second half.

"Guys, everybody's defense was very positive in the first half, especially against Iverson in the second quarter, Nelson and Mobley did a great job

, give them a round of applause!" Johnny said, giving them a round of applause.

Mobley and Nelson almost did not spare their physical exertion in the second quarter, defending Iverson with the wheels of the whole game.

Everyone on the Magic team applauded Johnny, and they all agreed with the two men's efforts on the defensive end.

"But we did a really poor job on the offensive end, we didn't take a lot of open opportunities, I want everyone to adjust themselves

in the second half, if you really don't feel it, then break through and score, or attract the defense, pass to Howard, I think Howard will give you an extra assist in the stats......"

Johnny began to lay out the offensive and defensive tactics for the second half.

Howard listened quietly, holding the stats of both teams in his hands.

"TNND, 37 points at halftime, it looks like I'm going to take off my jersey again tonight!What's going on? Kobe Bryant and Iverson are so energetic as soon as they hit

me? I'm a big wrong? The Magic team is a scoring ATM? If I want to win points, I have to go crazy in the second half

, but this will seriously affect the team's tactical play, and even teammates can't develop a sense of play, which is not what I want

But the feeling of teammates tonight, alas~"

Howard sighed helplessly in his heart.

On the other side, the home team dressing room.

Iverson offered to put Willie Green in charge of playing point guard, and he played his own point guard, not wanting the Magic to wear himself down all over the court.

There is also more cover, pulling Howard out of the interior, allowing himself and Iguodala to misplace the single, and have a chance to impact the Magic's interior.

The halftime break ended and the third quarter began.

"Audience friends, welcome back to the game between the Magic and the Digital People, both sides contributed very good offensive and defensive performances for us in the first half, let's look forward to the performance of both teams in the second half!"

Kenny continued to explain the game objectively.

"Hahaha! Kenny, Iverson only scored 6 points in the second quarter and 37 points in the half, 23 points away from more than 60 points!

"Shut up, fat man, the game isn't over yet, don't be proud in front of me, I'm sure the answer will find a way, continue his scoring performance!Finally score 60+!"

Kenny immediately replied to Barkley, for the bet, Kenny said that he wanted to win everything.

During the game, the digital human team began to attack.

This time, Iverson didn't go to serve again, just passed half court and waited outside the 45-degree three-point line.

And Willie Green, who became a point guard, easily took the ball across the half court.

Seeing that Mobley of the Magic team was sticking to Iverson, Willie Green didn't rush to pass to Iverson.

Iverson made a reverse run, shook Mobley off slightly, received a pass from Willie Green, and faced Mobley again.

Iverson crossed his crotch twice, driving Mobley's center of gravity, dribbling with the ball in his left hand, and shaking his body to lower his center of gravity, as if he was about to break through from Mobley's right side.

Mobley was already very cautious, but in the face of Iverson's deceptive pass, he still subconsciously turned his focus to the right.

But just as Mobley adjusted his center of gravity, Iverson made a personal forward change of direction, from dribbling the ball with his left hand to his right hand.

In an instant, the body protruded from Mobley's left side.

In the face of Howard's supplemental defense, Iverson jumped into the air, stuck to Howard, turned 360 degrees, and gently picked up his right hand.

55:48

"Wow! Iverson used his classic butterfly step to wear flowers, first easily passed the defender Mobley

, and then went inside to face Howard's supplementary defense, Iverson did not have the slightest timidity, facing Howard in the air and then hitting the basket

, what a great body control! Everyone knew that Iverson's flower-wearing butterfly step would break through to his right hand

But I can't really ignore Iverson's left-handed breakthrough, he's 39 points! I'm sure he's going to break through 40 points soon!"

Kenny said he appreciated Iverson's attack.

"It's only 39 points, it's still far from 60 points, Kenny, don't think about it! The Magic will definitely stick to

Iverson!" Barkley saw Iverson score, because the stakes existed, but he couldn't appreciate the wonderful goal at all.

"Not necessarily, the Digi Guys have obviously made a change, moving Iverson to the point guard position, not giving the Magic a chance to consume Iverson in the frontcourt,

so that Iverson can focus on the offensive end and tear apart the Magic's defense.

With the change of the Digital Guys and Iverson's goal, the corners of Kenny's mouth went up, and the confidence that Iverson had scored over 60 returned.

"Hmph! That's not necessarily! With Howard here, the Magic's defense isn't so weak! With the change of the digital team, the Magic team will naturally make new adjustments to continue to limit Iverson,

the Magic team! Keep Iverson scoring no more than 10 points!" Barkley

couldn't see Kenny grinning and shouting to cheer for the Magic.

Come back, the Magic attack.

Howard faced Jackson, a meat shield, and in order to boost the morale of his teammates, he planned to score a tough score.

The three-stage style relied on the play, which was directly used on Jackson, and simply competed for strength, but Howard still had a slight upper hand and pushed all the way to the basket.

This time, Howard didn't give Jackson a chance to make a small move, and after squeezing Jackson away, he jumped up quickly, and the basketball in his hand was already pressed into the basket.

55:50

Iverson took possession of the ball again from Willie Green, stood up to Mobley's defense, and made a pull-up jumper.

Turning

around at 57:50

, Howard covered Francis, blocked Iverson, and ran to the basket to draw Thomas to the defense.

Francis didn't get the ball to the open Turkoglou in time.

At this point, Iverson circled back in front of Francis, Jackson stepped back and stood next to Howard to continue the defense, and Thomas would also go to mark Turkoglou.

Offensive time slowly ran away, and finally Mobley, who was in a running position, made a strong shot from beyond the three-point line.

The

Digi Guys took the rebound and fought back.

Surprisingly, Iguodala hit a chase three-pointer from the three-point line to extend the gap between the two teams to 10 points.

The point difference was widened, and Howard had to take possession of the ball, once again exerting physical strength to beat the big meat shield Jackson.

After a low-level hand-to-hand fight, Howard saw that Jackson gritted his teeth and defended himself, and his consumption was not small, so he changed to dream footsteps and used the turn hook feint to deceive Jackson.

Then turn around again and hit the board to complete the score.

At 60:52,

Iverson won the ball at half-time and glanced at everyone's position at the top of the arc.

"Francis, go and flank Iverson! Don't hesitate! Hurry!" said

head coach Johnny from the sidelines, shouting into the field.

But Francis had his own pride as a star, and when he heard Johnny's words, he didn't do it in the first place.

As a result, Iverson once again singled Mobley and scored on another mid-range shot.

Johnny called a timeout!

"Hey, Francis, what's going on? Why didn't you just go to cover Iverson in the first place?"

When the players returned to the bench, Johnny immediately went to Francis.

"Coach, I'm sorry! I think if Iverson is allowed to score alone, and his energy is consumed, he will definitely lose his energy by the fourth quarter, and then we can take away the victory!"

Francis said, but what he thought in his heart, others don't know.

"We're on the side behind right now, we can't let Iverson continue to score, give me a firm grip, don't give him easy passes and shots, and the double pack will wear him down, understand?"

Johnny didn't agree with Francis.

"Yes!"

Francis pursed his lips.

"Listen, no matter which side Iverson breaks through, the person closest to Iverson will resolutely come over and form a trap with Mobley!" Offense ......"

After the pause, Magic Francis was covered by Howard, because he was reprimanded by Johnny, with a breath in his heart, so he broke through Jackson and scored a layup.

But after that, the Magic team entered a serious slump on the offensive end, even Howard, who chiseled hard under the basket, couldn't get good, and was wrapped up in the back and passed to an open teammate.

Teammates just can't shoot.

And the digital human team, in addition to Iverson's hand remaining hot, one of the team's god pitchers, Korver, also stepped up.

The

score instantly became

56:73

, and the difference was opened again, and everyone on the Magic court was demoralized by Korver's three-point shot.

Soon, the three sessions ended.

The Magic 66:89 Digital Guys

trailed by 23 points in the third quarter, and the huge point difference made Howard feel hopeless of winning for the first time.

"Damn! What's wrong with everyone tonight? I don't feel anything, everyone else is forcing a shot, how can I throw it, we won't even get into the empty seats! Beep the dog!" Howard

sat on the bench, covering his face with a towel, not wanting to be seen with his disappointed expression.

"Huh! I have to say that the current Iverson is much stronger than Kobe's scoring ability, although he looks thin, but he is not afraid of physical confrontation and attrition at all, he is really like an iron man

! However, he should also be injured now, just because his body is at his peak, there is no outbreak! Don't

think about this yet, the defense is already aimed at it with all its might, and the most important thing now is to open the touch of his teammates! What should I do?".
