Chapter 61 The First Showdown
Recently, people have been discussing whether to let Asik replace Ilgoska's starting line-up, because from the beginning of the regular season to now, the Cavaliers have played ten games and won ten consecutive victories.
In these ten games, Asik averaged 20 minutes per game, which is not easy for a second-round rookie. The Cavalier's main inside line is too empty, otherwise Asik would not have been able to get so much playing time.
But then again, the knight gave Asik enough time to play, but Asik also gave back to the knight with his excellent performance, proving that the knight gave himself enough choices.
In these ten games, Asik averaged 20 minutes per game and got five points plus more than six rebounds. Although he didn't score much, the rebound efficiency was very high. Don't forget that this was only his first year, and he was just a rookie in the second round.
However, the Cavaliers did not let Asik start because of this. Although Ilgoska averaged seven points and seven rebounds per game in these ten games, he did not demote him to a substitute.
Ilgosca has been playing for the Cavaliers. Sooner or later, the jersey will be retired, and the Cavaliers are obviously not a ruthless team. Maybe next season will not be the case, but at least this season, Big Z will appear in the team's starting center position.
Rashid Wallace and Ilgoska jump the ball.
Rashid Wallace beat Ilgoska to successfully jump the ball. Iverson received the ball and slowly advanced the half-time, stabilizing the team's rhythm and entering the rhythm of the Pistons.
Iverson came to the half-time and directly played against Huang Jun. Both of them were persistent and did not give up.
Although Iverson's speed is not as fast as that of advance, it is unparallable to Huang Jun in terms of experience. Iverson first drib the ball in a cross step, then a change of direction, then retreats, and then changes in the opposite direction. Just when Huang Jun really thought that Iverson was a reverse direction, Iverson suddenly took back his footsteps, and then Break through towards the previous way of change.
Even the eyes that have been mutated by the magic eye did not react in time at this time, or the function of the magic eye did not play out at this time, or did not even have time to react to the appearance? In addition, Huang Jun's lack of experience?
In short, no one knows why this is after all. Although Iverson passed Huang Jun and also went to the basket, Iverson's speed at this time was no longer the speed of the peak.
Huang Jun followed Iverson closely. The distance can be said to be very close, close?
Iverson obviously knew that his current speed was still different from that of Huang Jun, but at least he was also the king of speed. How could he be caught up so easily? Suddenly, Iverson accelerated towards Ilgoska on the inside line.
Ilgoska is also a veteran. He didn't know how many times he was helpless by Iverson's speed on the court. At this time, both of them were old and met on the court again. At this time, Ilgosca looked at Iverson without any fear and waited for him.
However, when everyone thought that Iverson would kill the inside line and go to the layup, suddenly Iverson made a one-handed throw. This throwing was not Iverson's strength. However, as a result, Iverson scored the goal, and it was also a heart-piercing.
Big Z looked helplessly at the little man running back, with a wry smile on his face.
Although Huang Jun was helpless, he still knew that it would be the time for the game and he should not think so much about it. As a result, after Ilgoska's serve, unlike Iverson, Huang Jun quickly pushed the ball into the half, and it was not stabilized at the half.
When all the players were in place, Huang Jun became serious. When he wanted to enjoy the same game with Iverson, Iverson was no longer young now, and I don't know how many opportunities he had to play with this respectable opponent.
Iverson looked at Huang Jun and said to himself, "This boy is not simple, but how has Allen ever been afraid of anyone?"
Huang Jun suddenly started, crossed the ball, and then changed direction, followed by a change in the opposite direction. Iverson, who defended Huang Jun, thought that Huang Jun was learning his own movements and wanted to pay for tat, so this reversal to Iverson was not moved.
Seeing Iverson like this, Huang Jun passed it directly. He designed this move from the beginning, not with any painstaking efforts just now. And Iverson was also completely fooled. He never thought that Huang Jun would use human psychology to break through him, which he absolutely did not expect.
Huang Jun, who passed Iverson, kept going to the inside line. At the same time, he thought, "Iverson is still that Iverson, but his reaction and speed are no longer the omnipotent Ai in those years. It's really unforgiving."
Huang Jun, who passed Iverson, did not want Iverson to choose his own singles, and attracted Rashid to make up for the defense and passed the ball to the empty Big Z's hand.
Ilgosca caught the ball directly with a mid-range jump shot, brushed, and hollowed into the net.
The difference between the Cavaliers and the previous opening is that the first ball is not handled by the team's boss James, but by Huang Jun. There is no doubt that this is also the change after Huang Jun came to the team, and James is not under so much pressure.
James was not dissatisfied with this at all, but retreated with a smile on his face.
On the Pistons side, Iverson still holds the ball. In the face of Huang Jun's defense, Iverson's fighting spirit was strong, but it did not emanate. Obviously, Iverson controlled his fighting spirit. When the fighting spirit has been increasing and accumulating, it is time when he can't increase and accumulate, it is the time for him to really break out in this game.
The fighting spirit and momentum are very wonderful, which can only be said to be unspeakable.
Iverson did not choose to play singles, but passed the ball to Hamilton, who had just run out. Hamilton's mid-time shot is very accurate. He is known as the Little Prince of the mid-time shot, which describes his mid-time shot as very accurate.
Hamilton, who received the ball, did not hesitate at all, or hesitated because of Iverson next to him. He directly singled Battier, and continued to change direction, and never failed to deceive Battier's defensive focus.
"What a difficult guy. He deserves to be a famous defensive expert, but do you think this can protect me from death? Then you underestimate me," Hamil said to himself, then got rid of the dribbling continuously, took a step forward, and then pulled it out directly and pulled out the basketball in his hand.
Battier directly in front of him, but Hamilton directly chose to ignore Battier. Although the jump shot is very accurate, he should not shoot like this. Knowing that the opponent is a defensive player, you still shoot like this. This is a wave shot, or you are very confident.
Batier naturally jumped on it, but he didn't cover it, just a little bit. However, it was the result of changing the ball little by little. The result of being covered was that he definitely didn't score, but he didn't cover it. The result was naturally half and half.
And I don't know whether this ball should be said that Hamilton's strength is strong, or that he is very lucky. This ball is directly into the basket, of course, a two-pointer from a medium distance.
Hamilton took a deep look at Battier and turned back to the Cavaliers' half without saying a word.
Next, the two sides went on until there were three minutes left in the first quarter, during which there was no explosive scene. Obviously, both sides regarded the first quarter as a warm-up.
Iverson has also taken a break at this time. Although he doesn't want to rest, he also knows his current physical condition, which is no longer the body he often injured when he was young, so he can only listen to the coach and sit quietly on the bench to rest.
In the nine minutes of the first quarter, Iverson did not take action as crazy as he did when there were 76 people. In the whole nine minutes, Iverson only took action three times.
Iverson scored eight points in three shots, of which all four free throws were hit, and two of them were also hit by three shots. There is no doubt that Iverson's offensive efficiency has increased, and he exchanged a few shots for more points, which is what Iverson is pursuing now.
Huang Jun, who played against Iverson, also performed well. He got six points and five assists. Although the score was not as good as Iverson's eight points, the assists broke Iverson's one assist. Iverson was more inclined to score, otherwise the head coach of the 76ers would not have tried to put Iverson in the scoring position. It is impossible for Iverson to win the top scorer.
It can be said that Huang Jun and Iverson are two players with completely different styles. The only thing is that they are small and fast, which is what they have in common.
And Brown seemed to deliberately let Huang Jun rest more. For the future game, he also replaced Huang Jun. The lineup on the scene was led by James to play.
The two protagonists in the focus of this game are resting off the court at this time.
In nine minutes, the two sides drew 20 to 20. Both sides can be said to have done a very good job in defense. Although they also got 20 points, the recent Cavaliers' game has always scored more than 33 points in the first quarter of the game. Under the defensive defense, they have scored 20 points so far, although There are still three minutes left, but the probability of getting 13 points in three minutes is very low.
"Do you think Iverson will beat Huang Jun in scoring in this game?" Barkley said to Smith.
"Then let me ask you, do you think Huang Jun's assists will exceed Iverson?" Kenny Smith did not choose to answer Barkley's words, but asked.
Although he did not answer Barkley, he also indirectly told Barkley the result. Iverson and Huang Jun have two completely different styles, so it is obviously unfair to compare strengths and non-prosions. Just like Huang Jun's assists and Iverson, after ten games, Huang Jun's average number of times per game has reached 15 times, while Iverson has only about six assists in the scene. How can this be compared?
