NBA: Becoming stronger starts with hard work and mastery

The more you play, the more you will lose.

If it is a close match, a black whistle or one or two fouls can affect the trend of the whole game!

But who gave you the illusion that this round of Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers is a round of such close strength?

In the third quarter, when Han Yi returned to the court with three fouls, he gently said to Allen Iverson on the opposite side:

"Don't blame me for being rude if you do this!"

Unfortunately, Iverson only regarded this as a trash talk because of the score behind, and did not feel that Han Yi was actually quite calm at this time.

"You want to use this method to save the 76ers and make the game that was originally without suspense more interesting, right? I won't!"

In the first half of the game, Han Yi only got 8 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 block in less than 10 minutes of playing time, which refreshed his worst performance in the first half of the playoffs in his career.

Two of the three fouls on Han Yi's back were called when he blasted Iverson from the inside, and the remaining one was when he attacked the basket. It was just like the previous two games. He simply dunked the ball and blasted the opponent's inside into slag.

But this time, not only did Han Yi not get a 2+1, but he was given the third foul.

After head coach Rick Pidino cried out loudly and received a technical foul, Han Yi finally understood everything:

It turned out that this was the "76ers players can't be touched principle" that only targeted Han Yi himself!

Allen Iverson played the strongest half of this series!

In the half, Iverson had scored 22 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, and only 1 turnover!

As long as Han Yi was not there, Iverson's attack and organization were so smooth, and his small body was so omnipotent on this big court!

As long as it was not Han Yi who was defending him, he could use all kinds of fancy throws on other strong men to throw the ball into the basket.

But all this, please stop here!

In the third quarter, Han Yi gave up the melee in the interior, and chose to let Dennis Rodman and Ben Wallace join forces to guard the interior and wait for Allen Iverson's violent attack!

Because Han Yi knew that the referee Dick Bavetta wanted to keep himself from staying on the court by constantly making himself foul, and for the Celtics, although they had some tactics that did not require Han Yi to participate, none of them could really win a playoff victory without Han Yi at this intensity in the playoffs.

Therefore, Han Yi can no longer protect the rim. It is impossible to have zero physical contact when protecting the rim in the paint, especially when there is a guy like Allen Iverson on the opposite side who is absolutely at the top of the NBA historical breakthrough list.

But I won't touch you. You can't call a foul on me from a distance, right?

Because of the trouble of fouls, Han Yi took the initiative to give up his aggressiveness on the defensive end, and instead took out a set of "gentleman defense" that was despised in the 1990s. All defense is within the scope of technical rules. If you can avoid touching the defender, you will definitely not touch him. As for the paint, you won't even go.

Han Yi began to use his exaggerated defensive area to control the other 76ers guys except Allen Iverson. As for Iverson, I can't afford to offend him, so I will just avoid him, okay?

The 76ers' role players were obviously not smart enough. They did not fully understand the solution to today's game like Han Yi. When Han Yi came to them like a ferocious monster, they were stunned. They did not dare to move at all, and did not stick to Han Yi, but chose to pass the ball.

Larry Brown was obviously not a cunning coach like his apprentice Popovich. He did not remind his players to seize such a great opportunity to foul Han Yi, but immersed in the illusion that Allen Iverson's offense was going smoothly!

Iverson's touch was really great today, and he even made a three-pointer at the beginning of the third quarter.

45:58!

Allen Iverson continued to expand the Philadelphia 76ers' lead with his offense!

But then, Han Yi bounced out of the three-point line. Facing Larry Hughes, who was less than 2 meters tall defending him, Han Yi shot from a high point just like he was on the training ground. Larry Hughes jumped with all his strength and even hit Han Yi's hand.

I couldn't even touch his wrist, let alone interfere with Han Yi's shot!

With a flick of his hand, the three-pointer went into the net!

48:58!

The Celtics were still 10 points behind!

"Aren't we going to compete with each other? Okay, I'll take on this challenge!"

After Han Yi scored, he said to Iverson relentlessly:

"I want you to understand that you are still far from being the scoring champion. I not only want to win the game, but also completely crush you in terms of scoring!"

"You are so arrogant, kid!"

Iverson's eyes widened: "You really don't know who is the big brother and who is the little brother. I brought you up!"

Facing Han Yi's aggressive provocation, Iverson chose to fight directly. The basketball swayed, and Iverson rushed into the penalty area again, facing Rodman's big hand like a palm fan!

Although the person was fanned out by Rodman and the ball was fanned out by Ben Wallace, the foul was still whistled!

Allen Iverson went to the free throw line and only made one of two free throws!

48:59!

Han Yi's play was not that complicated. He dribbled across half court and didn't even go inside. He fired again from outside the three-point line!

Han Yi's wrist flicked lightly, and an elegant arc cut through the sky without any interference!

Hit the target as soon as he fired!

51:59!

Although the Philadelphia 76ers still had an 8-point lead at this moment, both Larry Brown and the 76ers players looked solemn all of a sudden.

Compared with the 76ers' hard-fought rush to score, Han Yi's six points were too easy to get!

Now everyone knows that Han Yi has excellent three-point shooting ability.

But in the playoffs, opponents are still more accustomed to the devil who turned the tide in the penalty area. Although they can't defend, they know how to defend correctly.

But when Han Yi started firing from outside the three-point line, the 76ers really didn't know how to defend!

In the 1990s, which 7-foot-tall guy used three-pointers as a regular offensive method?
