On the evening of the 28th, AT&T Center Arena.
The Suns officially started their new regular season journey.
Before the game, when the head coaches of both sides shook hands as usual, in order to prevent Popovich from thinking that he could not handle him without Artest and Wu Sheng after coming to Phoenix, Wang Shuo deliberately leaned into his ear and said: "Your ribs are now It shouldn’t hurt anymore, right?”
Hearing this, Sima Bobo immediately took a step back and looked at Wang Shuo with a frightened look as he turned around and left.
threaten!
No, this kid was definitely threatening me just now!
In the NBA, the reason why Popovich dares to play dirty tricks unscrupulously is because in his opinion, as long as he takes the initiative to comfort the opponent's injured players after the game, and then explain to reporters that the Spurs players never meant it Yes, can he sit back and relax afterwards?
Anyway, even if a player on the field is retaliated by the opponent, the retaliation cannot be done to him.
However, how could Sima Bobo have imagined that Wang Shuo would really dare to attack the opponent's head coach!
No matter how tough he looks on the outside, Popovich is 54 years old this year.
If you don’t understand, just ask, how many times can his ribs survive being broken?
On the court, after the players from both sides finished warming up, the big screen immediately showed the starting lineups of the two teams tonight:
Spurs: Rasu Nesterovich, Duncan, Turkoglu, Bowen, Parker.
Suns: Chandler, Stoudemire, Marion, Bell, Iverson.
With "Admiral" Robinson regretfully retiring this summer, the Spurs have successively introduced Nesterovic and Turkoglu in the free agent market to strengthen the team's lineup.
Nesterovic, who is 213 centimeters tall, can evacuate and help teammates on the court to help cover positions.
But what impressed Wang Shuo most about him was: in the future men's basketball team's game against Slovenia, he and his teammates held their heads together, unable to believe that the team would be defeated by Wang Shipeng at the last moment.
On the court, after the jump ball, the Sun has the ball.
Iverson quickly dribbled the ball through the half court, and Chandler and Stoudemire immediately moved up to the high position for double coverage.
The Spurs' defensive formation was obviously not yet stable, and at the moment when the Spurs' defense was attracted by Iverson's dashing figure, Marion quietly cut to the basket.
In the penalty area, when Duncan and Nesterovich, who were dragged to the outside by Chandler and Stoudemire, turned to look at their own basket:
I saw that Marion, who received an assist from Iverson, had already smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
Come back and the Spurs attack.
Parker rushed all the way to the basket, but the moment he handed the ball to the basket, Chandler, who had already formed a conditioned reflex for help defense this summer, slapped away the rising star. basketball!
Bell, who controlled the second spot, immediately handed the ball to Iverson.
As a result, with this ball, Iverson was so fast that he didn't even have the live broadcast camera to keep up with him, and he had already rushed into the Spurs' hinterland!
Bang, swish.
Iverson scored an easy layup.
4 to 0.
Director Zhang, who saw this scene on CCTV, laughed and said, "It's like Iverson has boosters on his legs. You can't even see his shadow when he's running!"
The Spurs had the ball, and Parker, who was a little dazed by the Suns' opening two fast breaks, followed Popovich's instructions from the sidelines and took the initiative to slow down the tempo.
After some patient passing, the basketball was finally handed over to Duncan.
In the summer, although Wang Shuo patiently taught Stoudemire a lot of defensive skills, compared with Duncan at the moment, he was obviously not ready enough.
Duncan, who catches the ball, leans on, shakes his shoulders, and turns around, the whole set of moves is very smooth. It is rare that Duncan did not get 50-50 with the defensive players on the court. Instead, he won the first two points of the team tonight for the Spurs in an almost crushing way. point.
But before the Spurs fans at the scene could applaud Duncan, Stoudemire immediately sent a baseline kick.
In the new season, without the "Hand-Check" rule, Iverson will definitely become a huge headache for all teams.
And the most important thing is that he is at his peak at this moment, and the Phoenix "repair shop" that is well-known in the industry is protecting him!
After Iverson got the ball, he passed Parker in one step and then ran toward the Spurs defense at high speed.
When CCTV noticed Bowen helping to defend Iverson, Director Zhang, who was attracted by it, also shouted: "Play with him, AI!"
Boom, boom!
Skillfully switching his left hand to his right, Bowen almost lost his center of gravity with just one look!
Boom again, boom!
This time the left hand was switched to the right hand, not to go left-handed, but because Iverson noticed Bowen's center of gravity was unstable.
And the next second:
As Iverson completed two large crossovers in succession, Bowen's butt also came into close contact with the floor of the Spurs' home court!
At the scene, Spurs fans let out bursts of exclamations!
In the future, although Ou Shenxian's dribbling is also very handsome, in Wang Shuo's view, the most perfect defender who combines dribbling and speed has to be Allen Iverson!
Swish——!
On the court, Iverson hit a jumper after knocking down Bowen.
6 to 2.
In front of the TV, looking at Iverson's handsome figure, God knows how many Iverson fans collectively shed tears at this moment.
God, he can still show off like this despite being injured!
On the sidelines, on the Spurs' bench, Popovich always felt that Wang Shuo's Suns were completely different in style from the Wizards he led previously.
Although the Wizards' offense is also very sharp...
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But the offensive rhythm of this Suns team is obviously faster!
There is no way, who made Wang Shuo's thigh almost broken by Danzi during the Wizards period?
Playing with an old man like Danzi who is almost half buried in the soil, in Wang Shuo's view, no matter how fast the Wizards' offense is, it can't be faster than the Suns.
Of course, that means Jordan can't hear Wang Shuo's thoughts at this moment.
Otherwise, he would definitely question Wang Shuo:
Who was holding whose thigh at that time?
On the court, the game continued. This time Duncan encountered a double attack from Chandler when he hit Stoudemire on the back.
Duncan gave the ball to Nesterovich before the double attack was completed, but the next second, Chandler gave full play to his athletic talent and attacked Nesterovich before he completed the shot. interference.
Although this "boxing champion" still needs to practice in terms of defensive awareness and defensive details, his talent is really visible to the naked eye.
when!
The basketball bounced out of the frame. After Marion turned around and took off the rebound, his sharp eyes immediately found Iverson, who had already taken the ball early.
Since Iverson is of little use in defense, when the team practiced together, Wang Shuo also tacitly agreed that he could decide whether to play early based on his own position during the team's transition.
In Philadelphia, in order to reduce the number of rounds between the two sides, this is a scene that Iverson, who plays under Larry Brown, would never dare to think about.
Bang, swish!
This attack, according to Mike Brown's watch on the sidelines, the Suns only took less than 4 seconds!
In front of the TV, happy are the neutral fans this night.
Because even if the NBA has canceled the "Hand-Check" rule, in the new season, the NBA cannot suddenly become an offensive team.
On the sidelines, after Iverson hit the fast break, Popovich requested a timeout.
After returning from the timeout, the Spurs attacked.
Duncan acted as a wall for Parker in the high post. This time, Parker, who was smarter, made a change of rhythm during the final layup, successfully deceiving Chandler who came to help defend.
Sun ball rights, or quick baseline kicks.
The Spurs had no choice but to call Bowen for a foul and interrupt the Suns' offensive rhythm through fouls.
In the NBA, even Sima Bobo cannot think of a countermeasure at once, so he plans to force the Suns to slow down by paying some fouls first.
After the Suns took a sideline kick, Stoudemire moved up to a high position to cover Iverson.
Because Stoudemire did not reveal in the preseason that he had already made some progress in mid-to-long-range shooting, Duncan did not pounce on him immediately after the ball bounced out, but helped Parker delay it. Look at Iverson.
Seeing this, Iverson decisively distributed the ball.
when!
Unfortunately, "Little Overlord" failed to hit the ball.
But looking at Stoudemire's extremely standard shooting action, Duncan was secretly surprised.
In the NBA, if you want to make a rapid breakthrough in a certain technology, it is absolutely impossible without talent.
Although Stoudemire didn't score the goal, it gave the Spurs a reminder:
He is no longer the "reckless man" who only followed the pick-and-roll last season.
The Spurs attacked, Duncan and Parker followed the pick-and-roll, and Yu helped defend Chandler in front of him, and "reluctantly" scored the ball.
CCTV, in this regard, Director Zhang complained: "Duncan is a player, even if you look at him, he always gives you a stumbling feeling when playing, but every time he plays to the end, he can hit the ball!"
The Suns attacked, and this time it was Turkoglu's turn to pay for the foul.
On the sidelines, after these two fouls, Popovich has found the crux of the Spurs' defense being unable to keep up with the Suns' offense:
That is, Nesterovich.
But facing the Suns with Iverson, Popovich did not dare to let his "favorite" Duncan play center.
Because although the methods are different, Iverson, like Harden, is also a player who can draw fouls.
On the court, after the Suns sideline ball was sent out, Stoudemire was still raised to a high position to act as a wall for Iverson.
Duncan was more careful this time, but before he could react, he hit the arc. After Iverson and Stoudemire picked and rolled, the player defending Iverson became him!
no?
Where is my Parker?
Where is Parker going?
Hey, where else could Parker go?
Of course, he was attracted to the other side by Xiao Si.
This Spurs, apart from Nesterovich's speed not keeping up with the Suns' offense, also has a weakness, Turkoglu.
As an organizational forward, Turkoglu is particularly good at creating offensive opportunities for his teammates, rather than helping Parker to defend and fill positions.
Of course, Parker is already better defensively than when he first entered the league.
but......
Facing Iverson, you can't let Parker deal with him by himself, right?
This is just like using Curry against those super defenders in the future after he develops defensive skills.
Even primary school students can't guard against it.
At his peak, Duncan was known for his wide defensive area, but in the face of Iverson's unreasonable breakthrough, before Duncan even took a step towards the ball, Iverson got past him on his left.
On the sidelines, Popovich's scalp was already numb in just a few minutes of tonight's opening.
Just like facing the Lakers during this period, no matter how Popovich thought, he couldn't think of a way to defend Kobe.
Take this AI, Popovich is also as big as one head and two.
Uh-huh!
On the court, I noticed that Nesterovich hit a short half-shot jumper towards Iverson, who was helping to defend him.
CCTV, Director Zhang smiled and said: "The biggest difference between Wang Shuo and other NBA coaches is that the superstars under him can always find the most reasonable way to solve the game on the court."
On the sidelines, Coach Sun echoed: "Last season, Allen Iverson's overall shooting percentage was only about 40%, but tonight he made 4 of 4 shots and already scored 8 points for the Suns."
On the sidelines, on the Spurs bench, Budenholzer suggested to Popovich to switch to a zone defense.
After all, being constantly interrupted by Iverson is not an option.
Popovich hesitated, but ultimately took Budenholzer's advice.
On the court, after Parker scored two points for the Spurs through a mid-range shot, the Suns attacked.
The Spurs' sudden change to zone defense and their quick retreat really disrupted the rhythm of the Suns' offense.
Seeing this, Wang Shuo didn't hesitate. After pulling Diaw up, he said: "If I replace you on the field, how will you break the zone defense?"
Diaw replied: "I will stand near the free throw line and then direct my teammates to attack from both wings."
Wang Shuo nodded with satisfaction and said: "Be prepared. When there is a dead ball later, I will change the game."
After hearing this, Diaw, who didn't expect his NBA career debut to come so soon, suddenly became excited.
In the NBA, if you want to perfectly break the zone defense, you still have to look to international players.
On the court, after the Suns made an offensive mistake, in front of the technical stage, taking advantage of the opportunity of the basketball going out of bounds, Wang Shuo applied for a substitution. Diaw came on and Stoudemire came off.
Seeing this, Xiaosi obviously didn't expect Wang Shuo to replace him so early, but before he could get a little emotional, Wang Shuo pulled him to his side and said, "Carefully observe how Boris breaks the zone defense.
Later, if the Spurs still defend the zone defense, you will break the zone defense according to Boris' method, understand? "
Looking at Wang Shuo, Xiaosi nodded repeatedly.
The Spurs attacked, and Turkoglu assisted Duncan who cut to the basket and scored two more points.
At this time, as the Spurs stabilized their position, Popovich also looked at the sun with a proud face.
However, who would have thought that just when Popovich was looking forward to seeing Wang Shuo's impatient expression, Wang Shuo suddenly made a face at him.
Sima Bobo: "..."
Wang Shuo is not afraid of being captured by live cameras. Anyway, he is only 29 years old. In American terms, at this moment, he is just a "child" who has not been deeply involved in the world.
Come back and the Suns attack.
At the moment when Diaw stood at the free throw line, Wang Shuo explained to Stoudemire: "There are many ways to break the zone defense, and Boris's method of breaking the zone defense by standing at the high free throw line at this moment is just one of them.
Now, let me ask you, do you know why Boris stood near the high free throw line? "
Xiao Si shook his head.
Wang Shuo took the tactical board from Brown and said to Stoudemire, "Look, this is the Spurs' five-man positioning diagram when defending in a zone. Now, I put the magnet representing Boris here, and then You look at what has changed on the court."
"Huh? The Spurs' wings have actually started to shrink?" Stoudemire said with a surprised look on his face.
“The essence of zone defense is to form an overall defense through regional division of labor.
But it is precisely because of the regional division of labor that the zone defense will inevitably have loopholes on both sides. "Wang Shuo said to Xiao Si very patiently.
Stoudemire drew inferences from one example, "So, the purpose of standing at the free throw line is to attract the opponent's defensive attention and create open shooting opportunities for teammates on the flanks?"
Wang Shuo felt that Xiao Si was really smart and said, "That's right."
Unlike coaching Gasol before, Wang Shuo now feels even more accomplished when looking at Stoudemire, whom he trained almost from scratch.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, Stoudemire averaged only 1.2 assists per game in his career, but in Wang Shuo's view, this is not entirely his problem.
But for a long time, under D'Antoni's tactical system, he only played the offensive end point.
After all, with Nash, the Suns don't need Stoudemire to organize or coordinate.
Perhaps Stoudemire's passing skills still need to be practiced.
But Wang Shuo believes that some things are more important than passing skills.
That's passing awareness!
Of course Wang Shuo doesn't need to replace Diaw tonight to break the zone defense.
Because in normal times, the Suns have practiced the zone-breaking routine of double screens in the high post and switching to Chicago tactics.
But he still replaced Stoudemire with Dior.
Wang Shuo hopes that Stoudemire can learn more in this life. Even if his physical talent declines in the future, this awareness will help him continue to survive in the NBA.
On the court, in the first quarter, before the official timeout, the score was 18 to 16.
After the official timeout, Wang Shuo replaced Stoudemire again.
Upon seeing this, the Spurs immediately switched back to zone defense.
At the top of the arc, Stoudemire imitated Diaw and stood near the free throw line.
On the sidelines, watching Stoudemire reaching out for the ball, Iverson also passed the basketball to him.
It's a pity that although Stoudemire noticed Bell on the wing who used Marion's cover to get around this ball, his pass flew directly out of the field.
However, Wang Shuo, who saw this scene on the sidelines, smiled extremely brightly.
Spoelstra was a little confused, "Didn't Amare make a mistake on this goal?"
Buckley said with a smile: "You don't understand, his smile at the moment is just because he sees infinite possibilities in Amare."
On the court, during the attack, Duncan also looked at Wang Shuo on the sidelines with a surprised expression.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
This man, what magic did he perform on Stoudemire?
Why......
In just a few minutes, Stoudemire can change so much?
Professional basketball, the theory is very simple.
But if you want to really apply what you have learned, how many people in the NBA can do it?
The game continued, the Spurs attacked, and Turkoglu got a three-point opportunity through the pick-and-roll and successfully overtook the score for the Spurs.
Come back, the sun has the ball.
Iverson intentionally slowed down the pace of the ball. After Stoudemire stood at the free throw line, he continued to hand the ball to him.
At this moment, looking at Stoudemire who was really protecting the ball and observing the situation back and forth, Duncan was convinced that this guy had mastered the essence of breaking the zone defense.
From the outside, this time Iverson ran back from the baseline, and then used Marion's cover to go around to the wing.
Seeing this, Stoudemire noticed that there was a gap on the left side of the Spurs' defense and immediately threw the ball towards Iverson.
With the 76ers, Iverson, who was accustomed to passing passes from his teammates, controlled Stoudemire's obviously powerful pass and decisively shot a three-point jumper from the outside!
With the Spurs' goal, in addition to the inevitable weaknesses on the two wings of the zone defense, Iverson was able to get an open three-point opportunity so easily. In Popovich's eyes, Iverson's three-pointer does not need to be too much. For related.
In a sense, Sima Bobo's idea is right.
Because even if Iverson practiced three-pointers in the summer, his three-pointers would not become extremely accurate all of a sudden.
Wang Shuo knows very well that if Iverson really wants to shoot three-pointers accurately...
Then he may not only practice three-pointers, but also change his shooting movements.
Because, in order to gain the ability to make hard tackles in front of these big men in crowded NBA games, Iverson's shooting action was achieved at the expense of the stability of long-range shooting.
But so what?
Compared with Iverson's previous long two-point shooting rate that always hovered around 40%, in Wang Shuo's view, as long as Iverson can guarantee a three-point shooting rate of more than 30%, he will dare to give Iverson a shot in the field. Right of perimeter fire.
Swish——!
On the court, with Iverson's successful three-pointer, Stoudemire also showed a surprised smile when retreating.
turn out to be......
In addition to being a unique CIC genius, do I also have organizational talents?
Fortunately, on the sidelines, Wang Shuo didn't know what Xiaosi was thinking at this moment.
Otherwise, he will definitely tell Xiaosi:
This is absolutely impossible.
Wang Shuo is willing to cultivate Stoudemire's awareness of passing, never because he thinks Stoudemire has organizational talents.
Just to become a super power forward, Stoudemire must make up for his shortcomings as much as possible.
On the court, in the second half of the first quarter, the Spurs began to taste the bitter fruit of their previous fouls that interrupted the Suns' offense.
Because as the Spurs were full of fouls, Iverson had consecutive opportunities to go to the free throw line in the second half of the quarter.
On the sidelines, Sima Bobo also gave the Suns a point as a friendly gift because he kept complaining to the referee.
The first quarter ended, 38 to 34.
In this game, Iverson, who had attracted much attention before the game, made 7 of 10 shots in a single quarter, including 1 of 2 three-pointers and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 22 points for the Suns in a single quarter!
Iverson's exaggerated efficiency also shocked the 76ers fans in front of the TV.
According to CCTV, Director Zhang said with emotion: "This is what we often say, why the head coach is the soul of a team.
Tonight, compared to when he played with the Philadelphia 76ers, you can clearly feel that Iverson is a different person. "
On the sidelines, Coach Sun echoed: "Indeed, Iverson not only reduced a lot of unnecessary attacks on the court tonight, but he also created many scoring opportunities for his teammates through organization."
In the second quarter of the game, the two teams successively made adjustments to their lineups.
In the first quarter, Stoudemire, who played less than a few minutes due to studying on the sidelines, continued to stay on the court and switched to center.
Old Horry, Diaw, Old Barry and Boykins replaced Chandler, Marion, Bell and Iverson respectively.
In the first half of this quarter, Stoudemire and Boykins took on the scoring responsibility.
The former, first in the pick-and-roll, then flicked out and hit the mid-range shot.
Then, after using his speed to eat Kevin Willis alive, the Overlord used his bow and succeeded with a violent chop!
As for the latter…
Boykins, who was sneaking around the Spurs' defense, used his strength to explain why he, who is only "165" centimeters tall, can play in the NBA.
Although on the court, looking back, the Suns' defensive lineup was also robbed of a lot of points by the Spurs' second lineup.
But Wang Shuo didn't care.
In addition, because it is normal to fuck the star player to death at this time, when Iverson was not replaced by Wang Shuo until 5 minutes left in the second quarter, many Emmies in front of the TV were afraid that Wang Shuo would touch Iverson. It's cool to sit down.
Indeed, Iverson failed to hit his first two shots after returning in the second quarter.
But after getting enough rest, he once again turned into the Spurs' nightmare in the last two minutes of the second quarter.
After Iverson scored the last 6 points of the second quarter for the Suns with sudden free throws, 66 to 61, the Suns returned to the locker room with a 5-point lead.
During halftime, Wang Shuo smiled and looked at Iverson, who just had the words "didn't play enough" written on his face, "Don't worry, I'll let you have a good time in the third quarter."
In Wang Shuo's previous life, the reason why Stephen Curry said he was "untouchable in the third quarter" when he was at his peak was precisely because the Warriors coaching staff reasonably allocated his physical fitness.
Tonight, the last 5 minutes of the second quarter can only be regarded as a re-warm-up for Iverson. After the halftime break, he will always maintain his strongest state when others are reaching the peak of their physical fitness.
At this moment, some people may be wondering:
No, how is it possible for NBA players to reach the peak of their physical fitness after only playing half a game?
Well......
Is there a possibility that basketball is a sport that consumes a lot of energy in an instant?
Because the consumption of basketball in a short period of time is very huge, even a player like Kobe who you can use as a donkey of the production team cannot play two quarters in a row and still be able to play in the game. Maintained form throughout the third quarter.
Wang Shuo's performance tonight was just as good as Iverson's in terms of physical fitness.
After halftime, the Spurs had just scored two points from Parker. When they came back, Iverson's bolt of lightning pierced the San Antonio night sky again!
On the sidelines, in desperation, in order to stop the Suns' attack, Popovich once again resorted to fouling.
Then, over time...
I just saw Popovich’s hatred!
Why do you think he doesn't remember beatings so much?
Yes, you stopped the Suns' recent attacks by fouling.
But after you are full of fouls, even if you have Duncan sitting inside, the Spurs' three-second zone will only become Iverson's paradise.
Iverson was completely on fire tonight. Among the four shooting guards, during this period, except for Carter, the other three are scoring machines that can never stop once they hit a critical hit.
In addition, among the four major shooting guards, except Carter, the other three are also the kind of offensive maniacs who can fight to the death and never stop when they are in a favorable situation.
Huh?
Why do you want to exclude Carter?
On the court, the first half of the third quarter was exciting, and the free throws in the second half were exciting for Iverson. In this quarter, the Suns once again scored 21 points!
Before entering the fourth quarter, Iverson's personal total score in this game had reached an astonishing 49 points!
Wang Shuo remembers that the highest score in a single game of Iverson's career in his memory was the 60 points he scored in the 2004/05 season.
At present, Iverson's regular season scoring record in a single game, if Wang Shuo remembers correctly, should be 58 points. (I’m not kidding, it’s really 58 points!)
Tonight, because Iverson is very likely to refresh his personal single-game scoring record.
Therefore, Wang Shuo also said to Iverson at the end of the third quarter: "I will let you rest for 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, and then if you are tired tonight, just tell me and I will call timeout for you to rest. "
Just like when three Mike shock timeouts could be used to give Jordan a rest, tonight, Iverson was equally shocked...
It turns out that timeouts are used to give players a rest?
On the court, taking advantage of Iverson's absence, the Spurs recovered a lot of points at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
In the final quarter of the game, before Iverson came back on the court, the score between the two teams was 102 to 97.
Sun ball rights.
On CCTV, looking at Iverson dribbling the ball across half court, Coach Zhang smiled and said: "Here we go, let's see if Iverson can break through the 50-point mark tonight!"
Boom, boom!
Top arc, this time no pick-and-roll was called. After switching his left hand to his right, Iverson forced Parker's left hand, which was the right side of his body.
Before defending, Parker had clearly reminded himself 10,000 times in his mind where Iverson would break out.
But the moment Iverson started...
However, Parker felt that his body was not obeying his orders at all, as if he was trapped by something.
On the sidelines, looking at Parker who looked aggrieved, Wang Shuo always felt that Sima Bobo had ruined a duel between super guards tonight.
Because it is clear that Parker can use his offense to defeat Iverson, but Sima Popo seems to have a grudge against his own star. He refuses to tilt his tactical focus more towards Parker tonight.
So far in this game, Parker, who has made 10 of 15 shots including free throws, has scored 27 points for the Spurs.
From the data point of view, this is quite luxurious and efficient data.
But in Wang Shuo's view, if he were to lead the team, then with Iverson scoring 49 points, Parker would have to be at least 40+ now.
It's a pity that in the future, those fans who don't watch the game and only look at the data will definitely say that Iverson defeated Parker on this night.
I feel sorry for Parker for three seconds!
On the court, after passing Parker, Iverson hit a half-shot basket!
104 to 97.
At the same time, after hitting this ball, Iverson's personal score in this game officially exceeded the 50 mark!
It's back, it's back, it's all back!
In front of the TV, at this moment, Iverson's fans were extremely excited!
At the scene, Popovich had a headache again.
In desperation, he quickly pulled out the Argentinian "demon knife" that was said to be able to kill gods and demons in desperate situations.
It's time like this. No matter how stupid Sima Bobo is, he knows that the Spurs can only rely on offense to defeat the Suns tonight.
However, facing Laga Bell, who had been trained by Larry Brown, the devil who was killed tonight was obviously Ginobili himself.
Thanks to Larry Brown. Although Wang Shuo doesn't like Brown very much, compared with those "pest coaches who only know how to defend", Brown does have something in terms of training defense.
As one of the most underestimated super 3Ds during this period, Bell, who is tall and long-armed, not only has outstanding assist defense capabilities, but also has certain individual defense capabilities.
In addition, before completing the transformation at the 2004 Athens Olympics, Ginobili's "demon sword" obviously had not completed the most important "blood sacrifice" ceremony of unsheathing it.
Tonight, the "demon knife" cannot kill the gods and demons, and the Spurs can only rely on Duncan and Parker to support themselves.
Looking back at the Suns, in addition to scoring, Iverson has not forgotten the passing task assigned to him by Wang Shuo.
Snapped!
On the court, after connecting with Marion with a shot, Iverson also received his seventh assist of the game.
According to CCTV, Coach Zhang commented: "Marion is everywhere. Although he didn't score much today, his importance on the court is second only to Iverson."
In the final quarter, with 4 minutes and 45 seconds remaining, Iverson hit another three-pointer from the outside!
For this ball, Parker intended to let Iverson shoot a three-pointer, but he didn't expect that God would not be on his side tonight.
After hitting this three-pointer for the Suns, Iverson's personal total score in this game has reached 54 points.
In the past few minutes, Iverson has not scored much, but his assist data has increased to nine times.
At this time, Popovich obviously didn't care about his "Xia Jier bullshit" theory that individual star scores would harm the team's overall performance.
On the court, Parker, who was finally released from the seal, hit a throw!
119 to 112!
But before Popovich could breathe a sigh of relief, Iverson drove into the Spurs basket and caused Nesterovich a foul.
Iverson, who stepped to the free throw line, made two free throws and his personal score rose to 56 points.
The Spurs have the ball, and it's still Parker.
This time he assisted Duncan and hit the board under the basket.
121 to 114!
The Suns had the ball, and after a high pick-and-roll, Iverson also assisted Stoudemire in making a mid-range shot.
And received his 10th assist of the game.
Tonight's high-quality confrontation made the fans excited, and people were also surprised by Iverson's performance this night!
On the court, Parker failed to live up to Popovich's expectations this time. Although he was the most efficient player on the Spurs tonight, Popovich still glared at him after he missed the mid-range shot. .
Coming back, Iverson's pull-up also failed to hit.
But Wang Shuo gave Iverson a thumbs up.
On CCTV, Director Zhang complained: "Wang Shuo and Popovich are really enemies.
Did you look at it? In the last round, Parker didn't score, and Popovich was very angry.
But in this round, Iverson didn't score, but Wang Shuo thought Iverson was very decisive and praised him. "
On the court, Parker, who was always scolded by Popovich all day long, also had a little mood at this time.
But he is not Duncan after all, so no matter how emotional he is, he has to execute the tactics obediently.
The game continues.
In the next minute, neither team could change the score. As the game entered the last two minutes, the importance of Wang Shuo's interception of the Spurs in the summer and the recruitment of Horry was also reflected.
On the court, as soon as Wang Shuo was sent on the court, Horry was in the left corner, received a pass from Iverson, and hit a key three-pointer for the Suns!
126 to 114!
This was a goal that almost helped the Suns seal the victory!
On the Spurs bench, looking at Wang Shuo's smug expression, Popovich was itching with hatred.
GTMD Wang Shuo!
This summer, it was obviously us who made the first offer to Horry!
As the score between the two teams was pulled to double digits at the last moment, the Spurs fans at the scene gradually became quiet.
On the court, Ginobili missed a three-pointer. When he came back, Iverson had no intention of pressing the rhythm.
Because in Wang Shuo’s words:
The Suns must not only win in the new season, but also win beautifully!
Bang, swish!
At halftime of the Spurs, Iverson hit a fast break layup.
This is the 58th point he scored for the Suns in this game. At the same time, 58 points also tied his current career high scoring record in a single game!
Come back, the Spurs attack, Ginobili has a three-pointer this time, 128 to 117.
But Yaodao's three-pointer obviously came a little late.
However, Ginobili's three-pointer not only preserved the slim hope of victory for the Spurs, but also created an opportunity for Iverson to break his personal career scoring record this night.
In order to get the ball as soon as possible, how could the Spurs care about how many points Iverson could score in the game?
So just like that, under the collective watch of the Spurs players...
Allen Iverson gave his "answer" this night after running into the Spurs half:
60 points, 11 assists, 4 rebounds!
On the court, Iverson, who was going crazy this night, showed his iconic smile when he scored his 60th point of the game.
It's this smile.
It kind of touches the hearts of Philadelphia fans.
But for Phoenix fans...
After appreciating such a vivid offensive battle, after appreciating such a perfect personal debut of Iverson with the Suns...
Such a sun, such Iverson, you say, how can people not love him?
In the end, as the timer reached zero, the finishing score of the two teams was fixed at 133 to 119.
Iverson didn't continue to score in the last few dozen seconds, but he assisted Horry, raising his assists in this game to 12 times.
After the game, Iverson, who was a little emotional, rushed straight to Wang Shuo and jumped on Wang Shuo's back at the moment he finished the game.
To be fair, it's Iverson.
Because if Yao Ming rushes towards Wang Shuo...
Wang Shuo was afraid that nine lives would not be enough to die.
It is worth mentioning that when he noticed the scene where Iverson was on Wang Shuo's back and refused to get off, Duncan also gave him an envious look.
Duncan knew it.
There is only one reason why Iverson, a temperamental man, is so excited at this moment:
That is, during the period when he left Philadelphia and came to Phoenix, Wang Shuo gave him unimaginable help both on and off the court.
After taking a final look at the scoreboards of the two teams tonight, Duncan made up his mind:
——In the future, he will never let that damn loyalty harm him.
At the press conference, this night, Iverson, who participated in the press conference with Wang Shuo, said as soon as he came up: "As you can see, I think the reason why I was able to perform so well tonight is.
It's all because of my head coach.
It was him who taught me again how to play basketball.
It was him who made me understand that basketball can be played like this.
It was him who made me feel that playing basketball is such a happy thing.
There is no doubt that I love playing under him! "
In the NBA, it is absolutely unheard of to conquer one's own players in one game.
But in fact, as early as that All-Star night that year, Wang Shuo had already conquered Iverson.
Regarding the praise given to him by Iverson, Wang Shuo smiled and said: "Allen is too humble. In fact, I am not as good as he said.
In my opinion, it was him who reached peace with himself and faced different challenges in life with a positive, optimistic and upward attitude.
Of course, I did give him some small help in the process.
But compared to coaching Michael in the Wizards, Allen is obviously a player who can make me worry more. "
Shortly after this night, Wang Shuo's cell phone received a text message from Danzi.
The text message is short...
There are only three question marks.
I have to say that Boss Qiao's heart is as small as ever.
Obviously Wang Shuo said the truth, but he felt that Wang Shuo was discrediting him.
"Don't worry, I will have the opportunity to boast you in the future!"
In the locker room, after sending a text message to Danzi, the "Mrs. Niu", I saw Wang Shuo turn around and looked at Everson and said, "When I came to San Antonio before, I found that there was a Chinese restaurant here very good. In the case, do you want to eat supper together? "
Iverson, who was happy on his head, laughed: "Fortunately."
