The rest is just noise

Iverson took over the game from the start no one expected.

He started his performance by scoring a one-on-one jump shot against Dumas.

Wilson responded with a jump shot, and Iverson used David Robinson's pick-and-roll to shoot an arrow from a 45-degree angle on the left side.

4 to 2

Subsequently, Iverson stole Ellis' transfer ball and scored a fast-break dunk.

When the game picked up, when Ellis responded with a three-pointer from the top of the arc, Iverson dribbled the ball across the half court smoothly, no feint, no pick-and-roll, just a change of dribble to find the rhythm of the shot, and then combined to collect the ball and shoot.

Fearlessly pull-up from beyond the arc.

"Whoosh!"

9 to 5

"The AI ​​scored 9 points in a row!" NBC commentator Bob Costas claimed, "This is the best debut I have ever seen!"

Iverson's active performance caused the Lakers to stop the game.

Louis also felt that a very emotional player like Iverson really excited him, and the performance he could bring was unpredictable.

Lakers players' thoughts on Iverson are equally interesting.

Iverson's performance this round won Ellis' approval.

"You are also in the first grade, and you are much better than the others on our team." Ellis said calmly.

At this time, Kobe shouted: "That's because I didn't play!"

Iverson asked unexpectedly: "Is Kobe's hearing so good?"

Ellis came out and said: "When others say bad things about him, his hearing is always very good."

Iverson's strong start not only proved that Dumars couldn't guard him, but also indirectly reminded Louis to examine this player more seriously.

"Benj, you guard against the No. 1 pick." Louis said.

Although Wilson's defense is very good, he, like all elite wing defenders, has a small problem-there is not much that can be done against a lightning-fast small guard like Iverson.

This is just like Kazunari Fukatsu being able to choke Maki Shinichi, but there is not much he can do against Miyagi Ryota's speed - as for why he can obviously use his body to beat Miyagi, but coach Sanno insists on letting the ace play unlimited singles, it doesn't matter

People know, maybe he is an undercover agent in Xiangbei?

Wilson nodded confidently: "Leave it to me."

In addition, Louis also arranged for Garnett to go up to the high position in advance and be ready to help defend at any time.

Then, replace Dumars with Dana Barros.

"DB," Louis said to Barros, "we must make full use of our offensive space and activate the firepower on the outside. I want to see a dynamic outside attack."

The uncalled newcomer struggled to remain calm.

Except for Kobe, everyone else's mentality is very calm.

The timeout ends and the Lakers have the ball.

Barros is an unknown but powerful player who cannot be underestimated.

If he doesn't face Iverson tonight, he should be the starter.

Now, Dumars has proven that his defense cannot limit Iverson, so Louis no longer puts guarding Iverson first.

Being able to retaliate on the offensive end is the most important thing.

Louis' adjustments quickly took effect.

Barros never imagined that a coach would give him such freedom in attack.

When he has the ball, he can command all players, including Wilson and Barkley.

Iverson's defensive habits are still the same as those in college, like a tiger ready to attack at any time, which is Georgetown University's signature oppressive defense.

Barros doesn't plan to go head-to-head with Iverson.

He called for Garnett's pick-and-roll.

Garnett blocked the passer and then passed down beautifully.

Antonio McDyess, his opponent, did not come out to cover the defense.

Therefore, a pick-and-roll created an excellent offensive opportunity for Barros.

Without hesitation, Barros raised the knife and hit a three-pointer with one shot.

8 to 9

"OMG!

Brother, I'm telling you you can, you can just fucking shoot whatever you want. This body is just for you to pick and roll!" Garnett chirped, "Don't worry, Anton is just a stupid guy, he can't guard him.

of!"

While Barros performed wonderfully, Louis did not forget to remind Nash off the court: "Did you see DB's performance? (Nash nodded) I hope you can do the same when you play, and I hope you can do the same in the future.

Do better than him!"

Nash remembered Louis' words.

A high school student who had no idea what stability meant hummed and said: "If you let me do it, I don't need any pick-and-roll at all. I can just ask Kevin to step aside and let me go one-on-one..."

Then it was time to test another arrangement of the Lakers.

AI VS Benj

The atmosphere in the Alamodome became noisy.

"Has this moment come so soon?"

A high-profile rising star challenges an established superstar. This is a timeless drama that fans love to watch.

Louis also wanted to know how Wilson would defend Iverson.

I saw Wilson's hands spread wide, and the horizontal defensive area looked like it could accommodate three Allen Iversons.

This kind of defensive area is amazing.

This scene reminded Louis of the famous one-on-one match between Iverson and Jordan in his previous life.

The difference is that at this moment, the protagonist has changed.

After Iverson adjusted his pace, he decisively stepped forward to challenge Wilson and confidently made a sudden change of direction. In the first moment, Benj's defense was rock solid.

Just when Iverson was about to swing for the second time, Wilson suddenly caught the prelude of the opening hand and pounced on his opponent like a beast.

Iverson's offense was blocked, but Wilson's pressing forward did no good except preventing him from doing whatever he wanted.

Iverson only needs to withstand the first wave of pressure, then lower his center of gravity and accelerate, and he can easily throw Wilson away with his fierce explosive power.

As a result, Garnett's appearance disrupted Iverson's offensive plan.

Garnett made full use of his physical talents and athletic ability, coupled with his rare agility and lateral speed for a long man, and successfully forced Iverson into making mistakes.

Wilson got the ball and the Lakers immediately launched a counterattack.

Iverson chased back quickly enough, but Benj had no intention of taking advantage of the situation. He beat the No. 1 pick and then threw the ball behind his head, taking advantage of Garnett, who was following up at full speed.

BOOM!

!

Garnett ended the offense with a swinging tomahawk dunk that showed off his long wingspan.

10 to 8

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Garnett's mood swings were so overwhelming that he couldn't control his face.

After watching this round, Louis can rest assured.

Wilson is not obsessed with personal offense and defense.

In fact, he used himself as a tool.

A tool that forces Iverson to attack in the direction of the trap designed by the Lakers.

Wilson is a huge cover, what Iverson really needs to deal with is Garnett's help defense.

However, Garnett's excellent mobility allows him to perform one-and-two defensive positions in certain areas.

He just needs to put himself in a position where he can help defend Iverson when entering, and put pressure on McDyess when retreating.

The solution to this defense was to pass the ball to McDyess after Garnett completely gave up on defending McDyess.

However, Iverson's height limited his field of vision.

Wilson is tall, powerful, and has a long wingspan, and Garnett has the league's top dynamic talent.

As long as Iverson has the idea of ​​"I can do it", he will definitely fall into the Lakers' defensive trap.

With his vision blocked, he had no choice but to pass the ball out.

Making a mistake like just now is the worst possible outcome.

In the second round, Iverson was too concerned about Garnett's position, and Wilson successfully caught the flaw.

"You don't think I have to rely on Jasmine to restrain you, do you?"

Iverson was forced to stop for more than ten seconds and passed the ball at the last moment.

David Robinson takes the blame, strikes, and strikes.

Popovich was furious and yelled at Iverson.

Robinson, who was forced to take over, taught Iverson this: "Be cautious and alert, because impulse is the devil and roars like a lion."

Iverson will probably never see another black man speak like this for the rest of his life.

He regained his composure with a confused look on his face.

Spurs pass to Jamal Mashburn.

Mashburn faced Dumas out of position and began to display his offensive kaleidoscope skills.

After a few minutes, the score was very close.

Except for Iverson's outburst at the beginning that gave the Spurs a 4-point lead, for most of the quarter, the points difference between the two teams was no more than 2 points at most.

The Lakers are playing steadily, while the Spurs emphasize individual talent.

This also convinced Louis that the fledgling Popovich did not have the outstanding coaching ability in the future. With his current rank, he could integrate the Spurs, make Iverson obedient, and bring out the strengths of other players. That would be fine.

.

What Louis considers is far from the level of victory or defeat, because winning is necessary, and the key is how to win.

The best victory is to win the game and at the same time play what the coaching staff wants to see and train the new players at the same time.

At the end of the first quarter, 28 to 26, the Lakers temporarily led the Spurs by 2 points.

Louis replaced Barlows, Barkley, and Garnett, and replaced Nash, Tragedyman, and Ostertag.

Kobe looked at Louis longingly.

But Coach Lu doesn’t understand the style: “Don’t stare at me like this, I’ll call you when it’s your turn.”
