Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 209 [The Big Dog Must Die]

The 76ers attacked. Iverson held the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Coleman. ,

Coleman was the No. 1 overall pick in 1990. He scored 18+10 in his rookie season. After that, he had an outstanding performance of 20+10 for three consecutive seasons.

However, at the end of his career, he averaged only 8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, his shooting percentage dropped sharply, and his scoring basically relied on open shots.

After passing several times, the ball was given to Kenny Thomas, who singled out Wang Jun in the low post.

Thomas was Yao Ming's teammate last season, and was sent to the 76ers in the mid-term. This season, he averaged a double-double, 13+10.

Wang Junren lost weight, but his strength did not drop. He lowered his center of gravity and put his elbows on Thomas.

He has never interrupted confrontation training and speed training. His speed has not improved much, but his footwork has been very stable.

Kidd taught Wang Jun what actions would be called a foul when defending, and what would not.

Don't open your arms when defending the inside line. It's an idiot to push the opponent with your chest muscles. You must skillfully turn the disadvantage of short height into an advantage.

Small in size, it will be blocked by the opponent's body when resisting people, and the referee will not be able to detect it if it makes small moves. Wang Jun raised his left elbow, and his right arm hugged his left arm to support his left arm. It doesn't matter if he is weaker, he can cope with more intense confrontation.

Wang Jun had a good teacher as soon as he entered the league. This method allowed him to withstand Thomas when he weighed more than ten kilograms.

Thomas turned around in the middle and missed the hook. Wang Jun's defense took effect and kept him away from the basket.

Kidd withdrew inside, judged the direction of the rebound, and controlled the rebound in the backcourt.

Wang Jun made a fast break.

Kidd passed to Martin. The latter transferred the ball to Wang Jun. Thomas knew that Wang Jun could shoot three-pointers, so he followed closely. Without withdrawing to the basket, Wang Jun is not in position to attack. After halftime, he hung to the inside line.

Kittles took the ball in the middle, turned around for a layup with Iverson, avoided the block, and scored with a cricket. 4 to 2.

Iverson's excellent jumping ability is useless. He is too thin and registered height. In fact, his protection of the penalty area is about zero, and Coleman cannot retreat in time. It's retirement age.

The 76ers attacked, and Thomas went to the middle to pick and roll Iverson.

After just trying it once, he found that Wang Jun was stronger than he had imagined. He was not like the No. 2 position at all, and he would not be easily pushed away.

Iverson received a pass from Snow, broke through with the ball, and Wang Jun switched defenses.

He was engrossed in every movement of Iverson, and the lateral movement was still slow.

Iverson is like a motorcycle driving at high speed in a motorcycle race, passing a bend, with his body dropped extremely low. It looks like he might fall at any time, but he won't fall. As long as he is touched at this time, the referee will probably call a foul.

Wang Jun failed to keep up. Iverson dodged one step and went to the basket.

Collins makes up the defense. Iverson pulled the ball up while running, and passed the ball behind his right hand to his left hand. To give Collins the illusion of changing hands behind his back, when the two approached. He turned sideways slightly, and flicked his left hand. The ball is passed from the right side of the body again. It happened to be passed to Coleman who made an air cut on the right.

Coleman caught the ball and jumped up, dunking with both hands! 4 to 2.

Very beautiful goal, very good morale, the home fans cheered and cheered.

The Nets attack. Collins picks and rolls in the middle, Kidd breaks through with the ball, Snow bypasses Collins, catches up with the interference before Kidd makes a layup, and the ball bounces out of the frame.

Snow is Iverson's best partner. His mid-range and long-range shots are mediocre, but he has a body that can compete with the No. 2 player. This allows the 76ers to allow Iverson to defend against guards who are fast and not good at confrontation. Reduce pressure on the defensive end.

Thomas grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Iverson. The latter didn't wait for his teammates and dribbled to the frontcourt to single out Kittles. He forced a layup and missed. Wang Jun retreated and grabbed the rebound.

In the Nets' positional battle, Robinson defended Wang Jun and followed him in circles.

"Kittles' statistics have declined this season, averaging only 10.2 points per game. However, he played a good start today. He defended Iverson very well. Wang Jun easily picked up rebounds. As long as this defensive strength is guaranteed, the Nets will definitely Win." Barkley laughed.

Although he didn't say it clearly, it is not difficult to see from his expression that he hates the 76ers and is on the side of the Nets.

Robinson followed closely, Wang Jun had no chance to catch the ball, and Kidd passed it to Kittles.

"Mosquito" feinted with the ball, relied on his height advantage to make a jumper, and missed under Iverson's full interference, and Coleman got the rebound.

The 76ers attacked, Iverson passed to "Big Dog" Robinson, and Martin was the main defender.

This was Lawrence's pre-match arrangement. Although Wang Jun wanted to play against Robinson, Lawrence still felt that it was more appropriate for Martin to defend.

Because of laziness and alcoholism, Robinson's body degenerated, and his main scoring method was shooting.

Wang Jun is shorter, and Robinson can get a chance to shoot. If Martin defends, he may not be able to make a shot.

Robinson's face frame was blocked by Martin, so he couldn't make a shot and passed the ball again.

After Iverson's peripheral pick-and-roll, Snow made an empty cut from the baseline. The latter caught the ball and threw the ball to tie the score. 4 to 4.

In the next round, Kidd singled out and wanted to return one. Under Snow's defense, he missed a jumper and Thomas grabbed another rebound.

Thomas had rich experience and was not in a hurry to make a fast break. Instead, he passed the ball to Snow to play positional warfare. Iverson rushed to the frontcourt and failed to receive the pass. He was a little dissatisfied and had to follow suit.

The 76ers have an advantage in playing positional battles. Both insiders can make mid-range shots. If Iverson has been singled out, this advantage will not be brought into play.

Therefore, when arranging the tactics before the game, coach Randy emphasized that the positional battle should be passed to Iverson. If there is no chance to play more or less in the frontcourt, don't pass long passes and let Snow organize it.

The veterans Snow and Thomas listened to the coach's arrangement.

The 76ers attacked, Thomas picked and rolled, Iverson misplaced Wang Jun and made a breakthrough and scored a quick layup. 4 to 6.

Kidd made a mistake passing the ball to Kittles, Collins failed to block the good guy, and Iverson successfully passed the ball to Robinson.

The latter rushed to shoot a three-pointer from outside Wang Jun, avoided the block, and the ball went into the net hollow. 4 to 9.

"Yellow monkey, why don't you defend?" Robinson yelled at Wang Jun after scoring the goal.

Wang Jun clenched his fists and almost made a move.

An idea came to his mind - "The big dog must die"!

The arena is very noisy, and the fans can't hear what the players are talking about, but there is also a taboo about talking trash.

For example, involving family members, mothers, fathers, children, and especially spouses are not allowed. Talking trash on the court and insulting family members is really unworthy of a beating.

Worse still is the trash talk involving racial discrimination. If this kind of talk is exposed by the media, it will definitely become the target of public criticism.

The Bad Boys Legion of the 90s did everything they could, and trash-talked them regardless of these taboos.

As a result, Isaiah Thomas, No. 4 in the league, was squeezed out by Jordan, Johnson, Bird and others, and failed to be selected for the Dream Team. At that time, the coach of Dream One was Chuck Daly, who had just resigned as the head coach of the Pistons.

Wang Jun circled around the periphery and reached out for the ball, ready to make a three-pointer.

Kidd was the only one who knew the grievances between the two. Seeing that Wang Jun's eyes were burning, he passed the ball.

Kidd wanted to see what kind of energy Wang Jun could unleash in this situation. Fighting back after being provoked is a must-have quality for a star. This is like a test.

If Wang Jun doesn't play well and messes around on the court, he will ask the coach to replace him in two rounds to calm him down. (to be continued.)u
