Iverson was emptied in the high area!

Duncan passed back to Iverson, and Iverson entered the three-point line and received the ball, making a long and two-point shot... it was short!

O'Neal grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to Zhang Hao. Iverson actively saved it. Zhang Hao grabbed the ball with one hand and raised it high, making Iverson's teeth itchy.

But although this avoided being intercepted, it missed the opportunity to attack, and Campbell and Duncan took the opportunity to retreat first.

When Zhang Hao passed the ball to Kenny Anderson, he felt a little regretful, but it was not important. Just now, he confirmed something that the 76ers extended the three-point line distance of the top arc, and only quickly completed the adjustment on the defensive end. The troubles that should be encountered on the offensive end were still encountered.

Kenny Anderson did not continue to play singles after pushing to the frontcourt, but instead hung the ball to O'Neal, then pulled it to the right sideline to keep the shooting threatening.

Zhang Hao led Duncan to the high-level area. Seeing that Zhang Hao had already run out of the 45-degree angle connection between the two sides, Duncan decisively contracted under the basket and attacked O'Neal.

O'Neal passed the ball, and Zhang Hao made a two-pointer shot at about 60 degrees in the high position area, which was about 60 degrees away from the original three-point line... He didn't make any move!

O'Neal and Jason Williams fought for no success and quickly retreated.

Zhang Hao also quickly ran back to the backcourt and shook his hand, not caring about the ball.

Iverson received the pass from Duncan to grab the rebound and advanced through the half. He looked at Zhang Hao, who was one meter away in the top arc, and Iverson hung the ball to Duncan.

As Iverson expected, Zhang Hao immediately attacked Duncan.

Duncan passed back, and Iverson, who had just made a short shot, shot in the high area again... still missed.

When the Lakers attacked, the Lakers still used the offensive tactics of the last round. Zhang Hao continued to mention that he had two points on the high position to catch O'Neal's pass and shoot... he didn't make any progress.

But Jason Williams grabbed an offensive rebound, started again and made a tip-in!

This time, Duncan had some concerns, and hesitated, and hesitated for a moment that he was still in the free throw line when O'Neal passed the ball. It was already very difficult for Campbell to block O'Neal. The ball did not bounce in their direction, but hit the basket on their side and bounced to the right. Jason Williams had a strong judgment ability, and Campbell did not protect the rebound.

8 to 9, the score difference narrowed to 1 point.

Finally, Iverson scored two points in the next time.

But when the Lakers attacked, Zhang Hao also made a shot!

10-11, relying on the advantage of offensive rebounding and Kenny Anderson's singles score based on his personal ability, the Lakers tied the score tightly!

It was the 76ers attack again, and Zhang Hao still had the same defensive style, but when Duncan passed the ball back to Iverson, Zhang Hao rushed back.

Iverson entered the three-point line and received the ball. He pulled the ball flexibly and avoided Zhang Hao who was rushing up, and pulled the ball steadily and jumped out... It was iron!

Jason Williams defended defensive rebounds and made the offense and defense transition. The Lakers' fast break still did not start. Iverson's impulse defense was really good at this time.

After falling into the positional battle, Kenny Anderson continued to hand the ball to O'Neal. This time, Duncan took it back and hesitated again. O'Neal seized the opportunity, turned left and walked on the line, and the little hook in his right hand hit!

The hit rate of hook hands is not as high as the dunk, but when one-on-one, O'Neal also has more scoring methods when facing these large-tonnage centers, so he no longer has to keep his head shut and hedge hard.

He shook these flesh shields with his head in his mouth and had a good sense of blocking. Not only did he consume a lot of physical strength, but he was still slow to complete the attack, and it was difficult to reduce the center of gravity and pass the ball when he was hit by a pincer attack.

12-11, the Lakers took the lead by 1 point!

Iverson and Duncan, who have learned that the opponent's adjustment strategy, were a little anxious. The opponent has started to play smoothly. Fortunately, they are gradually starting to smooth out. Iverson has already had a way to adjust...

But someone is more anxious than them!

Duncan picked up the ball and was about to send it to Iverson when the referee whistle sounded and the 76ers called for a timeout.

Just as I was about to find the feeling, I suddenly called a timeout? The players on the 76ers' court were puzzled.

With confusion, Iverson walked back to the bench and was about to question... Larry Brown's angrily scolded him and spit out at Iverson: "Put your damn shot, don't you know how to break through with such a big gap?"

Iverson suddenly became furious and said angrily: "Stone Buddha is so fast, do I have room to shoot when I rush in?"

"Then are you competing with the Shi Buddha? Who can't make more shots?"

"He is looking for the feel of the touch? If he shoots at a high position, no one can shoot here, how can he play? When he is trying the feel of the touch, I will certainly seize this opportunity to find the feeling."

It is reasonable and evidence-based, and cannot be refuted.

So, Larry Brown fired at Duncan: "The rebound protection just now is so poor, the opponent sent three inside players, and he must be trying to grab the defensive rebound. Why don't you take it back soon?"

"I discovered that Shi Buddha wanted to use my shrink to find a shooting feeling." Duncan's answer was concise.

Duncan's poker face was coupled with a cold tone, and Larry Brown's energy was pressed down.

Larry Brown is not stupid, but he is still one of the best defensive coaches in the league. Although he has poor offensive command ability, he actually knows a lot of tactics. Every time he interviews a new team, he says it one by one, at least he has a vision.

After the anger was pressed down by the calm Duncan, Larry Brown also found that he seemed to have made a wrong decision, but he was absolutely unwilling to admit that it was his mistake, shut up and not speak.

Just as I was about to find that the feeling was suddenly interrupted, Iverson was so upset that he was about to continue squirting with Larry Brown, he pressed his hand on his head and stroked it twice. Iverson's energy was also brought up and dissipated a lot.

only……

What are you doing when I put my head off? Iverson slapped Duncan's hand off.

But immediately, Duncan's hand returned to Iverson's head.

Iverson had no choice but to endure it.

This action is nothing. Black people like to slap other people's heads, but Iverson thinks it's quite dangerous, but he can't say it.

So, the 76ers survived this 100-second timeout.

...

After the timeout, there were no substitutions on both sides, and the 76ers attacked.

Originally, if you had two points, you might not have the same guy on the other side. The head coach was still dragging you down. Iverson controlled his emotions with the help of Duncan.

After receiving the serve and pushing into the frontcourt, Iverson saw Zhang Hao still guarding the top arc and continued to play with Duncan and pass the ball back and forth.

When Iverson received the return pass from Duncan, Zhang Hao made up for it and blocked the position where Iverson made several consecutive shots and shots once.

Iverson pulled the ball and broke into the basket!

O'Neal moved up and blocked Iverson who broke through. Iverson was ready for a high lob. Campbell took off behind O'Neal and dunked...

"Bang"

"Bang"

The ball was slapped into the inside and bounced out on the rebound. The ball was grabbed by Iverson, but at this time there was not much time left in 24 seconds of attack. Iverson faced O'Neal who was blocking it, and quickly pulled away and took a jump shot... Although he got rid of O'Neal's blocking area, he was greatly affected and was very strong!

Zhang Hao beat Campbell to grab the defensive rebound!

The 76ers were full of anger during the timeout, while the Lakers were actively making adjustments.

Both masters of change direction breakthroughs, Zhang Hao and Kenny Anderson immediately saw that Iverson, who could make two points, had a new offensive choice after threatening. During the timeout, the Silver Fox emphasized the adjustment of the offensive end. Zhang Hao himself prepared for the defensive adjustment and it worked!

After grabbing the rebound, Zhang Hao immediately counterattacked. Iverson tried to rush and blocked Zhang Hao from counterattacking. He was blocked by O'Neal. Zhang Hao rushed out of the free throw line first...

"Single Riding" triggers, speed +5!

Duncan and George Lynch, who were retreating immediately, were surpassed by Zhang Hao when they exited the three-point line.

Then……

"Single Riding" full power is turned on!

Except for Iverson who tried his best to follow Zhang Hao after chasing him, no one could keep up!

The first-class mid-range ball control is indeed much better than last season. Zhang Hao controlled the ball well during the push and was not worried about being intercepted by Iverson!

Iverson followed, but could only watch Zhang Hao smash the ball into the basket with one hand in front of him.

At this moment, Iverson felt that the morale of the Lakers was greatly boosted!

Iverson was really depressed this time. He recalled the previous round. He believed that without that timeout, the stone Buddha on the opposite side would not have made adjustments so quickly.

Based on his understanding of Zhang Hao, a timeout is enough for Zhang Hao to analyze the loopholes exposed before but have not been exploited by their 76ers.

Or many people will find ways to adjust for two rounds, but at that time Iverson may also find new offensive choices.

This was originally an opportunity for Iverson to snowball, but he was strangled by his own coach!

It was the 76ers attack again. This time Iverson was angry and broke through to Zhang Hao's defense and went to the inside... and gave O'Neal a hat.

Zhang Hao grabbed the ball, and Iverson made the wrong choice when he became independent on the offensive end. Fortunately, the enthusiasm for the defensive end was still there, so he blocked Zhang Hao from continuing to attack with active rushing.

The Lakers fell into the positional battle, O'Neal's singles hook-up was a decisive rebound this time, Campbell quickly grabbed the defensive rebound and did not give Jason Williams the chance to rush.

The 76ers called a timeout!

...

11-14, 3 points behind, but fortunately, the Lakers didn't really widen the gap.

But this wave of 2 to 10 is really too bad!

It clearly started with a 9-4 game...but in just half a quarter, the Lakers cracked their pride defense that the 76ers are proud of!

Of course, although their 76ers adapt quickly, it doesn’t mean that they can do it perfectly immediately. There is also a long way to go later, but they have Larry Brown, an extremely powerful defensive coach. The progress of taking advantage of the opportunities that appear on the defensive end will definitely be one step ahead.

However, the opponent's offensive adjustment is one step ahead!

Wing pitchers cannot be put, Zhang Hao has strong ability to shoot high-level shots, and O'Neal will definitely not be put under the basket... Jason Williams, who has no shooting ability, cannot be put even if he has a wing three-pointer.

George Lynch knows the strength characteristics of Jason Williams who won the championship together. As long as he dares to short Jason Williams, Jason Williams will immediately go to the wing to help the pitcher pick-and-roll.

It is obvious that the 76ers will be unlikely to do this tonight, the initial goal of defending the Lakers.

Larry Brown was clear at this time and began to adjust his defense to maximize the difficulty of the Lakers' shooting.
To be continued...
