Chapter 369 Defensive Shift! "Flame God": Unstoppable!
Allen Iverson?!
Correct.
Allen Iverson.
Before tonight's game, Iverson's shooting touch was quite good during practice, better than ever before.
but.
He didn't pay much attention to it.
It doesn't make sense.
Real-world experience is the key.
With Game 6 of the finals already underway, he was no longer fixated on how brilliant his performance would be.
He hopes Su Yan can maintain his superhuman performance and McGrady can use all the luck he has in the next 10 years to have another explosive performance.
He relieved Su Yan of the scoring pressure and helped the Knicks win the game.
Bah~
It wasn't entirely because of their individual good play; as long as they could win, it didn't matter what the outcome was.
To contribute to winning the championship would certainly be the best and most perfect outcome.
However... the prerequisite is to win the championship; otherwise, even if you play at the level of the number one core player, it will be meaningless.
The second place winner is the biggest loser.
Iverson agrees.
He used to be one.
So, Iverson, not wanting to think too much, prayed for the players and played his game as usual.
Perhaps it's because of a positive mindset.
Perhaps it was because he had a good feel for the game during the pre-match warm-up.
Perhaps it was the blessing of Lady Luck.
Perhaps because he takes every game seriously, he will surely have a breakout performance of his own.
Not the last game, not the next game.
It's tonight, right now.
McGrady, struggling to find his rhythm at the right edge of the arc, used the last bit of offensive threat he had left from the previous game.
To draw some defensive attention away from Iverson.
Low position on the left.
Iverson cut in, Larry Hughes passed him the ball, he caught it, stopped abruptly, and took a jump shot.
The ball leaves the hand, two points in.
"Shh!"
hit.
In the next possession, Iverson, who received the ball at the right edge of the arc, faced Shannon Brown and made a series of feints to create a triple threat.
I saw his center of gravity shift backward for a moment.
Draw a bow and set an arrow.
He decisively unleashed a three-pointer.
The incense burner emits purple smoke, and this three-pointer goes straight into the basket.
"Shh!"
Hit again!
"Wooow~ The answer!"
"AI keeps hitting shots, is this... is it about to explode?!"
"awesome!"
The home fans were immediately excited and, without thinking twice, roared at the top of their lungs.
Whether it explodes or not is one thing.
In this battle, we must play our cards right.
"Um?!"
Odom frowned. "No way? Tracy has become mediocre, and now Allen is about to explode again?!"
Finals Game 5 and Game 6.
In such a crucial game, is this former "Double Four" shooting guard, already sidelined and with five championships, really going to have to single-handedly dominate to make a splash and redeem himself?!
hiss~
The moment the idea took hold, Odom felt a chill run down his spine; he had to nip it in the bud.
"tread!"
Take it one step at a time.
He took the initiative to approach Su Yan.
But Iverson, who was in red-hot form, was also gaining confidence, and his crossover dribble was incredibly impressive.
The center of gravity is constantly being lowered.
The moment he takes the ball with his left hand, he steps out with his left foot, making a wide change of direction in front of his body during a feint.
Here it comes, the signature crossover.
Although speed and explosiveness are no longer at their peak, and they are no longer like "lightning", the rhythm is still there.
He got past Odom and broke through on the right wing.
The speed wasn't particularly fast, but confidence surged, and before the defense could react, a high layup was launched.
"Shh!"
hit.
Iverson scored 7 consecutive points, single-handedly carrying the Knicks' offense off the bench.
Rotate every 3 minutes.
Iverson's overall offense looks somewhat slow, lacking the speed and ruthlessness of his peak years.
but.
It's stable, feels warm, and is highly efficient.
The Lakers' bench players didn't gain any advantage and were even slightly at a disadvantage.
"Beep!"
Phil Jackson, the "Zen Master," was the first to call a timeout, temporarily halting Iverson's good form.
It can't stay hot forever.
Otherwise... if his form continues to improve, if he can replicate McGrady's "return to his peak" performance from the last game...
It happened again with Iverson.
That would be the end of us.
This must never happen.
Little did they know... it was too late. Once Iverson got hot, it was all too late.
"Alan, have a candy to boost your energy. You're in just as good shape tonight as Tracy was last night. It's your turn to carry the team."
Su Yan wasn't the first to approach them and offer them [sealed candy].
Instead, he waited until Curry, Tyson, and others went up to praise Iverson, then took advantage of the chaos to join in and praise him as well, feeding him candy along with them.
Make everything look natural.
A few seconds later, Iverson gulped down water and ate the "sealed candy" along with it.
【Ding! 】
The system prompt sounds.
[Host used [Sealed Candy], target: Allen Iverson, use complete.]
Before the end of the game, Iverson seemed to have returned to his peak form.
"Stable!"
Su Yan smiled slightly, though it would have seemed a bit abrupt if they weren't in the middle of a competition.
He would burst into laughter.
In the previous match, "Flame God" + "T-mac" = an easy victory.
Is this match a guaranteed win with "Ember God" + "Answer" + "Match Point" + "Home Team Buff"?
Don't be too confident.
However... when Iverson is in his "peak" form, the Knicks' chances of winning the game will increase significantly.
This is inevitable.
How could Su Yan not be happy?
In terms of results, the two "closed candies" were in the most crucial finals, Game 5 and Game 6.
Let McGrady and Iverson, whose careers were ruined by injuries, each have a game off the charts.
This is perfect!
Not a moment.
The pause ends.
As in the previous game, the Knicks substituted Wilson Chandler, allowing Iverson to continue playing.
Even with Curry and Iverson on the court at the same time, the defense will be targeted.
However... if the offense is strong enough, what does it matter if the defense is a little weak?
Say.
When Iverson and Curry were both on the court, David Lee and Tyson had a clearer understanding of what they should be doing.
Defense!
They only had their eyes on defense.
The rest is left to the outside line.
And so, the clarion call for counterattack... sounds once again!!!
"Allen, attack more decisively! When you're in top form, when you unleash your full potential, you're unstoppable!"
Su Yan encouraged Iverson.
Under the influence of the "closed candy" effect, Iverson, who is immune to injury problems in a single game, can charge faster and attack more fiercely.
Its destructive power seems to have returned to its peak.
But he couldn't say it clearly.
This was the only way he could encourage Iverson to attack.
"learn!"
With his desire to win and his fighting spirit ignited, coupled with his immense self-confidence, Iverson instantly returned to his unruly state.
attack.
Iverson's fighting spirit suddenly surged.
On the left arc, facing Kobe, his former rival, now a Finals MVP-caliber player.
There was no fear in his eyes.
As always, he used his signature crossover after weaving between his legs to shake off Kobe and then drove in on the right.
Yes.
Allen Iverson "returning to his peak".
You know he's going to break through to the right, but... you just can't stop him.
Especially after Su Yan drew some of the defensive attention away from him.
As the second-in-command, Iverson, who seemed to have returned to his peak form, was in his element and could attack with even greater ease.
"Shh!"
Iverson scored again.
He has everything: breakthroughs, jump shots, and more.
And Iverson is just as good as Curry and Su Yan, his off-ball movement is also top-notch.
This gives him more ways to score.
Under the "closed candy" of pressure, Iverson completely exploded in the most crucial Game 6 of the Finals!!!
