Chapter 103 When the Wicked Meets the Wicked

When Huo Li came on stage, Lin Ying unconsciously looked over.

Horry is one of the most successful role players in NBA history, with 7 championship rings in hand, one more than Jordan.

On the one hand, he has a strong psychological quality that is rare in role players, and he can always hit key shots; on the other hand, he can always find teams with championship potential and eventually join them.

But Lin Ying paid attention to him not because of these, but because of Nash.

I was so impressed by Nash's crooked nose when I saw it in the trial before. That wave was made by Horry.

Especially when the game has just started for more than three minutes, this rotation is obviously a bit early.

Horry made achievements as soon as he came up. Duncan turned around and went to the basket and was double-teamed to the top of the arc. He caught the ball and made a three-pointer.

11 to 8.

The Spurs took the lead again.

When he retreated to the defensive end, Popovich got up and walked to the sidelines and shouted at the players.

During this period, the Spurs were a defensive team. He was obviously dissatisfied with the team's defense after being scored by the Nuggets in such a row.

His shouting also had an immediate effect.

The Spurs' defensive confrontation intensity is improving, and Anthony finally misses the singles with the ball.

Nene made great contributions at the critical moment, grabbed the offensive rebound and gave it to Iverson who cut in the middle.

After Iverson jumped up, he dodged a lever to avoid Duncan's block and scored!

11 to 10!

It was a great game!

But Popovich was even more dissatisfied, his shouting directly turned into a roar, and he waved his fists.

Lin Ying was stunned, you are even more irritable than Karl!

Duncan pulled out to pick and roll Parker, Parker missed the throw, and the Spurs' offense was cut off.

The defense failed to defend, and the offense failed to score. Popovich's face became more and more ugly.

At this time, a thrilling scene appeared on the field.

Iverson passed Bowen from the side and broke through, and Horry came to help defend... and knocked him out of the field!

Iverson was hit directly into the auditorium!

There was chaos on the sidelines, and the audience's popcorn buckets were knocked over.

Fortunately, it is not the technical platform, otherwise this is another wave of Nash tragedy.

There was an instant conflict on the field, and Anthony and Martin looked like they were going to fuck Horry.

The Nuggets have a bad temper.

Watching the Madison Square Garden brawl repeat itself.

In the end, Horry had experience and flashed behind the referee ahead of time.

Players from both sides were out of contact, and the conflict was gradually subsided.

Iverson was also supported by the old Carter and the audience at this time.

When he got up, he held his chest with his hands, grinning with pain.

It was obvious that the collision just now was not light.

The game entered a technical timeout, and Iverson also returned to the bench.

He lowered his head and took a deep breath after sitting down.

Karl came over to inquire about the situation and asked Iverson if he wanted to go back to the locker room.

"No."

Iverson raised his head, although his expression was still a little painful, but he answered in the affirmative.

Because of his relatively short stature, he was violated a lot during the game and suffered a lot of injuries.

Before the 2001 Finals, he already had more than 20 injuries on his body.

But he is a typical "minor injury can't go to the line of fire" type.

The most classic representative is the "Blood Swallowing Battle" in G5 of the 2001 Eastern Conference Finals.

Because the NBA stipulates that blood is not allowed to play, he was beaten to the corner of his mouth and swallowed it in order not to end the game.

Carl nodded and said nothing, he also understood Iverson's character.

Of course, he didn't do nothing, but turned around and walked to the end of the bench, and called Weaver up.

Weaver is on the active roster tonight, but theoretically he's basically out of the rotation unless it's garbage time.

But Karl's wave is obviously not a regular rotation!

And Karl pulled Weaver up and whispered for a while.

Lin Ying felt a burst of excitement when he saw this.

As long as you are not stupid, you can see that Horry hit Iverson on purpose.

Even if it wasn't Popovich's instruction, Popovich's grumpy old man's performance just now was also a catalyst.

Most teams don't do anything about this.

After all, this is playing ball, not fighting, and it is really difficult to define intentionally or unintentionally in a basketball game.

As a result, Karl's intention to make a substitution is now more obvious!

Simply summed up in one sentence: If you want to play, I will play with you!

This is, the villain meets the villain!

After the timeout, the referee gave the final penalty, and Horry was blown as a first-degree malice.

This wave of referees' control of the field is not bad.

Because according to Iverson's past "special" penalty scale, this ball will call a defensive foul at most.

But the Nuggets are a group of violent tempers, and blowing it like that will definitely lead to greater conflicts, so blowing a malicious blow can calm the anger to a certain extent.

Malicious foul made two free throws and Iverson executed a technical free throw.

He is also really durable, and he seems to be getting better after resting for a while.

Adjust your breathing and hit two free throws steadily. This wave is the best response.

But just after the free throw, Popovich did it again, and he replaced Horry with Ginobili!

Carl was stunned by this wave of operations.

This is when I pulled out my gun, you let me beat the air?

Play or Popovich will play...

Carl hesitated for a while, and asked Carter to replace Weaver again.

It can be seen that there are some differences between him and Popovich.

The game continues on the court, and the Nuggets have the ball.

Iverson took the ball and made a wave of shots.

But looking back, he made a gambled steal and blocked Ginobili's pass.

He easily scored two points in a wave of personal fast break show.

Because of his durability, Iverson is hailed by fans as a "reinforced iron frame".

This wave of performance lives up to its name.

11 to 14!

The Nuggets in turn led by three points!

At the critical moment, Duncan stood up for the Spurs. He double-teamed and sent a wonderful pass. Ginobili cut in the middle and flew to the layup to get 2 points!

13 to 14.

The game on the field has entered into a fever.

Then it was Iverson, who went inside with the ball and was knocked to the ground by Oberto and won two free throw opportunities!

Pulled up by Anthony and Martin, Iverson continued to the free throw line.

Against the boos of the fans at the scene, Iverson made two free throws steadily.

13 to 16!

The Nuggets regained their 3-point lead!

Looking back, Anthony prevented Ginobili's pick-and-roll breakthrough!

The Nuggets are on the move!

Even Anthony can defend, with two guns in this state, the chances are infinite tonight!

"beep!"

Then, there was another situation on the field.

When Bowen switched to defend Iverson, he almost poked Iverson in the eye with his hand, and was called a foul by the referee!

Karl looked at the field and frowned.

At this moment, Popovich sat on the bench and did not move. This wave is Bowen's habitual black hand.

Nuggets frontcourt throw-in.

Iverson caught the ball and faced Ginobili with a breakthrough on the right and passed directly!

Duncan quickly helped defend after seeing it.

Nene is empty inside!

Iverson did not choose to pass the ball.

What is a pass?

After jumping in front of Duncan, he made a 360° turn around and scored the ball with a low hand layup, which also caused Duncan's defensive foul!

God!

Not only did Huo Li's collision not hurt him, but it made him even more brave!

Iverson took the initiative to slide in order to avoid injury. He sat on the ground and nodded after seeing the ball go in.

There were boos at the scene.

The fans at the scene felt that the referee should not have given the whistle just now.

After all, this is the home court, and Duncan didn't play directly, and...that's Iverson!

This whistle gave too much tonight!

Iverson stood up from the ground this time.

After hearing the boos from the scene, he put his hands directly behind his ears.

Iverson's classic celebration: Listen!

His personality is quiet, even in celebrations.

This listening action has two meanings, one is There.should.be.applause, which translates into Chinese as "There should be applause here".

This kind of meaning is more recognized, because Iverson basically uses it at home.

There is another kind, which is "Speak.louder, I.heard.nothing", which translates into Chinese as "Speak louder for me, I can't hear you!".

The most classic of this is the 76ers playing the Wizards in 2004. Iverson steals the lore in an away game, and he rarely yells and listens to the boos of the fans.

The action that Iverson is doing now is obviously the second meaning.

This wave is a bit of a mess.

Because the fans don't know whether to continue booing.

Popovich didn't get up and yell again, but his face was a little gloomy.

At the same time, the Nuggets' bench was in full swing, and even Lin Ying got up excitedly and waved a towel a few times.

No wonder Iverson has so many fans. Although the offensive choice just now was bad, it is really cool to score!

And this follow-up celebration is just right!

Iverson went to the free throw line and made a steady hit and added a penalty.

13 to 19!

The Nuggets also pulled the score to 6 points!

And all 19 points came from two guns, and Iverson scored 13 points alone!

This state is better than in the opening match!

And it wasn't just because of the ball that Iverson celebrated before.

He was in a hot state in the opening game, but his shooting percentage was not high in the next 5 consecutive games, and his mood was a bit depressed.

He was released tonight.

Bowen's three-pointer with a pass from Duncan in the corner!

Not everyone is Horry.

Even the biggest difference between super giants and all-stars is their psychological quality.

For details, see the U.S. men's basketball team in the Tokyo Olympics. Durant is the most ruthless player against the wind, and Durant per capita is downwind.

The Spurs are a bit dangerous.

The ball is still in Iverson's hands.

Popovich signaled, and Bowen switched defenses directly!

This is professional muzzle blocking.

It worked though.

Bowen's defensive experience, or his speed and height and wingspan, did make Iverson a little uncomfortable. He tried twice and failed to get rid of it.

Martin saw it and pulled it out for a pick-and-roll.

With the screen of the pick and roll, Iverson made an accelerated and iconic right breakthrough to the free throw line.

However, Bowen is still experienced, retreating early and blocked Iverson's breakthrough route.

And he knew that Iverson could make a shot at any time at this distance, so he started to make small moves.

He stealthily grabbed Iverson's shirt with his left hand before Iverson's second start, and pushed him out.

Iverson's strength is breakthroughs. He couldn't get up after being pulled by the jersey, and soon his body center of gravity was unbalanced, and he made a reluctant shot and finally hit the iron.

The referee didn't blow his whistle.

After landing, Iverson protested to the referee, pointing at his crooked jersey, but this time the referee didn't give a whistle.

The scene burst into cheers from the fans.

Right, this is the penalty scale that Iverson should have!

Taking advantage of Iverson's protest to the referee, the Spurs played a wave of fast breaks.

Ginobili evaded Anthony's defense and gave the ball to Parker who followed up.

Parker's flying layup.

"boom!"

Still being chased by Anthony!

Good guy, Anthony in the two-gun era has a billion points of agility!

And after the ball went off, the form of offensive and defensive transition changed again. Iverson just returned to the midfield at this moment, and he played a fast break directly after receiving Anthony's long pass.

In front of him is only Bo Wen who just came back like him.

This time, he dribbled the ball a big step first, and then chased the ball, leaving Bowen behind by the way.

Do you know how to make small moves?

I didn't let you even have a chance to make small moves!

Lin Ying was a bit attracted to Iverson in this paragraph.

Unlike watching Duncan learn skills before, watching Iverson is completely admiration.

On the field, Iverson got rid of Bowen and rushed to the frontcourt. After slowing down, he made a layup with a low hand.

Although Bowen fought hard to catch up and defend, it was still a bit late.

"boom!"

Iverson's shot rebounded and fell into the net bag after hitting the board.

His 15th point of the quarter!

Totally crazy!

Dream back to 2001!

However, just as the Nuggets bench was about to celebrate, another accident happened on the court.

Iverson stepped on Bowen's foot when he landed!

Although he reacted quickly and fell to the ground, but seeing how he bent his knees and held his ankles, he should be seriously injured.

The players of the Nuggets ran away in an instant, and the irritable old buddies couldn't help it!

However, because this wave was a fast break, Bowen was thousands of miles away from them, and they were stopped by the referee before they rushed forward.

The Nuggets are on the bench, and another group of irritable guys are also full of displeasure.

Lin Ying unconsciously clenched her fists.

Dirty, so dirty!

No matter how high you fly, no matter how fast you run, there will always be a time to land?

He also remembered the scene when Durant was stepped on by Noah in the Crazy Three finals.

Although Iverson is not Durant, but thinking about his time in Denver, Iverson is the person who helped him the most from the Nuggets.

It's a pity that he is not on the court now!

Otherwise, he would definitely let Bo Wen try the boxing skills he learned from Zhu Ba!

The game entered a technical timeout again.

Iverson was supported by his teammates and returned to the bench again.

Counting the previous collision and eye poke, this is the third time Iverson has been injured.

Sure enough, he is the person with the highest frequency of injuries in the NBA.

And this time the team doctor has communicated with him and has determined that he will not be able to play.

Iverson looked frustrated and slapped his leg hard.

But there is no way, no one is a real steel frame.

Finally, Iverson returned to the locker room with the support of his teammates.

Carl's entire face was green at this moment.

He made another substitution adjustment, but this time he replaced Lin Ying instead of Weaver!

Before going on stage, Karl and Lin Ying looked at each other for a few seconds.

It felt like saying nothing, but it seemed to say a lot!

Thank you Dad for loving you so, Dianlu’s reward~
