Chapter 310 Xu Lang and Iverson's confrontation!

Fortunately, in the first half of the third quarter, under the leadership of Xu Lang, the Eagles still achieved a certain score lead through the convenience of mastering the rhythm of the game.

Otherwise, at the end of the third quarter, the Eagles would not just be overtaken by the Celtics by one point.

But it is obvious that Allen Iverson, who has completely released all his restrictions and restraints and played 100% of his offensive strength, is no longer a player and target that the Eagles can easily stop.

Even a defensive player of Xu Lang's level started to become more and more passive when facing Allen Iverson who was playing more and more high and in better condition!
Fortunately, although he was a little passive, Xu Lang's defense still withstood Iverson's attack, and he was not directly blown away like Tony Allen!

However, although the Eagles barely recovered defensively by lifting Xu Lang up, when Xu Lang was the engine of the Eagles, the absolute core of the tactical system, and the absolute soul of the team.

When the defensive end is suppressed by Allen Iverson, it has a great impact on the momentum of other players in the entire Eagles.

In addition, when Xu Lang needs to put more energy on the defensive end to deal with Allen Iverson, the strength and energy that Xu Lang can display on the offensive end will decline. .

This is reflected in the game scene, that is, the Eagles, who still took the initiative in the first half of the game and were in a state of suppression against the Celtics, were completely passive by the time of the fourth quarter.

It can only be said that Iverson, who has already started playing high, was too aggressive in the fourth quarter!

This also led to, even if Kevin Garnett played less than 3 minutes in the fourth quarter, he was immediately fouled by Xu Lang again, causing him to be replaced again.

But the Celtics still have an absolute advantage in the game situation.

Even after Kevin Garnett left the field, the Celtics got more and more open on offense!
After all, Garnett has been the core of the team in the last few dozens of games. As long as he stays on the court, it is inevitable that other players will subconsciously use Garnett as the core when choosing offense.

This is definitely a kind of interference and restraint for Iverson, who is bigger and happier.

And now, after Garnett is gone, the last shackles on Iverson's body have also been cut off!
Then I saw that the Celtics, without Garnett as the inside core, began to slowly widen the score gap with the Eagles!
Even in the middle of the fourth quarter, the Celtics once widened the gap to close to double digits.

Fortunately, at this moment, Xu Lang stood up again.

Xu Lang once again helped the Eagles stabilize their morale and score by making two consecutive shots against the defense.

But even so, when the game entered the last 2 minutes, the Eagles were still four points behind the Celtics.

"Look, just like I said, the Celtics, who have completely freed themselves from restraint and shackles, are still stronger than the Eagles in terms of overall strength."

"Actually, if this game hadn't come too late because of Garnett's foul crisis, the point difference that the Eagles are now behind is likely to be further widened."

Garnett: ……………(ω)?

Magic Johnson is not Langhei, nor Kaimi, nor is he a player who advocates grouping.

However, for him, being able to defeat a wave of his old opponent and his private old friend Larry Bird in such a trivial matter still made Magic Johnson feel very excited.

On the contrary, looking at Magic Johnson Larry Burr showing his iconic triumphant smile again, he began to feel a little uncomfortable in his heart!

However, less than two seconds after Magic Johnson finished praising Iverson excitedly, Xu Lang hit the Magic hard with a super long-range top shot that rarely appeared this season. Teacher Johnson's smiling face.

To be honest, although Xu Lang's data has reached the level of averaging a triple-double this season, the Eagles' record this season is also better than last season.

But in fact, the excitement and surprise that Xu Lang brought to people this season is not as good as last season.

After all, whether it was the five-double data in a single game last season or the scoring performance close to 80 points in a single game, it was a game performance that few players could achieve in the entire NBA history.

But this season, with the improvement of the Eagles' tactical system, Xu Lang has fewer and fewer individual singles, so that there are not so many particularly bright moments in his personal performance!
So far this season, Xu Lang's highest score in a single game was 58 points in the game against the Hornets!

Paul: ……………

Hornets: ……………

Although 58 points in a single game, it is also the highest single-game score among all players this season.

However, compared with Xu Lang's god-level scoring performance in certain games last season, this kind of data performance is obviously a bit boring and out of reach!

After all, counting the playoff games last season, the number of games in which Xu Lang scored more than 60 points in a single game already exceeded one hand.

You must know that many All-Star players may not necessarily be able to score more than 60 points in a game throughout their careers.

This naturally made many players and teams forget Xu Lang's terrifying scoring explosive ability when facing Xu Lang this season.

That's why, although Xu Lang's personal score has reached 48 points after counting the three-pointer just now in this game.

But all the players of the Celtic team, including all the fans and commentators at the scene, never thought about what kind of terrifying scoring performance Xu Lang would bring them in less than 2 minutes.

After Xu Lang made a difficult three-pointer just now, none of the Celtics' Big Four paid much attention to it. After all, the Eagles were under pressure from the Celtics throughout the fourth quarter.

If it weren't for Xu Lang's 13 points in the fourth quarter, the Celtics would have won the game.

So the Celtics' Big Four have begun to get used to Xu Lang hitting such a super difficult ball.

And he doesn't think that with these super difficult balls, Xu Lang can help the Eagles complete the final comeback by himself.

It was only after Iverson dribbled the ball for half the court and found that the defender in front of him was no longer Xu Lang, he was still stunned.

After all, ever since Iverson stormed for more than three minutes in the second half of the third quarter, the defender in front of him has always been Xu Lang's.

"?"

"Is this an offense that looks down on me?"

Allen Iverson frowned, looking at Tony Allen, who had put up a defensive posture in front of him with a puzzled expression, and stared at him seriously and intently, an unknown anger in his heart suddenly came to him pregnancy.

As the No.1 in the league, Allen Iverson is proud of Jordan's shooting guard.

Especially in this game, the game is in good shape, and even some Allen Iverson, who has found his peak offensive strength.

There is really no way to accept that Xu Lang, the strongest defender of the Eagles, chooses to let himself attack at this critical moment.

Tony Allen: Wait a minute, I'm not human, am I?

Allen Iverson, who was getting more and more angry, ignored Kevin Garnett's request for the ball.

Leaning over to accelerate directly, without any fancy breakthrough and ball control movements, Allen Iverson directly relied on his excellent breakthrough rhythm and extremely fast first step.

After Tony Allen had reacted, he was still one position ahead of him and entered the three-point line.

Accelerate, stop, take off and shoot, the basket is firmly hollow and enters the net.

It's just that Allen Iverson, who landed on the ground, looked at Xu Lang who had just almost completed a block, and the original anger in his heart dropped instantly.

Even Allen Iverson felt a sense of defensive oppression and panic for the first time in so many years after he reached the top of the league.

The last time Allen Iverson felt this way was when he met Jordan, who was already at the end of his peak, when he was still young.

That is to say, Allen Iverson is a player with a big heart, otherwise it would be the strange help defense that Xu Lang suddenly appeared in front of him just now.

As an ordinary player, it is very likely that he will turn his 100% hit shot into a rebound competition that bounces out of the frame.

At the same time, Xu Lang, who was almost able to complete the blocking and interference, clapped his hands with some regret after landing.

"I shouldn't have hesitated just now. Even if it was only half a second earlier, the ball would have been blocked."

Although I don't know what Xu Lang's clapping movement is expressing!
But Xu Lang's obviously regretful expression still made Allen Iverson a little upset.

Fortunately, although Allen Iverson was unhappy, he also knew very clearly that with his height, weight and defensive ability, there was no way to defend against Xu Lang on the defensive end.

Switch offense, fight again in another place, when the Eagles start to attack.

Xu Lang once again made a shooting posture two steps away from the arc top three-point line. This forced Paul Pierce, who had been paying attention to Xu Lang's offensive movements, subconsciously took a step forward to defend past.

However, this time, Xu Lang's shooting action was a fake action!
The moment Paul Pierce raised the ball, Xu Lang dropped the ball and accelerated. He easily got rid of Paul Pierce's defensive entanglement, and quickly entered the three-point line without hindrance, and then stepped into the three-point line in two big steps within the three-second zone.

At this time, Paul Pierce had just stepped onto the three-point line with one foot!
Paul Pierce's sudden defensive loss made the other Celtics players unable to react, and most of the players had no time to assist in the defense.

In the end, Kevin Garnett, who was ignored by Iverson when he asked for the ball for a singles for the first time in less than a minute after playing, subconsciously defended in the direction of Xu Lang.

But Xu Lang looked at Kevin Garnett, who was defending, with a strange smile on his face.

I saw Xu Lang facing Kevin Garnett's supplementary defense and did not stop his attack.

Received the ball directly when there was still one step away from the penalty area, and stepped forward to meet Kevin Garnett's supplementary defense to complete the take-off.

At the moment Xu Lang took off, Kevin Garnett, relying on his years of defensive experience, steadily opened his arms and took off to cover all of Xu Lang's shot space.

It's just that this time Xu Lang himself didn't pursue how good the shot space could be, or he didn't pursue to score this goal.

After all, Garnett, who has committed five fouls, is only one foul away from being sent off!

Therefore, this time Xu Lang's offense was aimed at fouling Kevin Garnett after he was tricked.

Then, I saw Xu Lang, who had finished confrontation with Kevin Garnett in the air, deliberately raised his arms holding the ball, and aimed at Kevin Garnett who had opened up to try to intercept his shot this time. The long arms leaned up.

"boom!"

"drop!"

"brush!"

The sound of Xu Lang being directly slapped on the floor by Kevin Garnett, the sound of the referee blowing the whistle, and the sound of the basketball hitting the net rang out at the same time.

"Incredible goals, incredible aerial work.

And the last player who can perform like this, in my memory, is the man wearing the No. 23 jersey who came back twice after retiring. "

"And that's not the biggest headache for the Celtics.

Counting this foul, the number of fouls committed by Kevin Garnett in this game has reached six times!
Although there is more than one minute left in the game, although it seems that after Kevin Garnett is off the court, Iverson's offensive efficiency will be higher. "

"However, we have to admit that without Kevin Garnett in the penalty area, the Celtics' defensive pressure inside will become much higher."

"After all, the previous games have proved that without Garnett's suppression, the Eagles' offensive tactical system is still very difficult for the Celtics to stop!"

Looking at Xu Lang who walked to the free throw line and easily completed 2+1, Larry Bird was also a little excited and was about to roar.

It's just that this game is played at the Celtics' home court after all.

Larry Bird, the former star player of the Celtics, chose to support the Eagles in this game.

Moreover, now Larry Bird not only chooses to support the Eagles, but even begins to shout excitedly when the Celtics suffer a loss!
This made several Celtics fans behind the commentary stand immediately express their dissatisfaction to Larry Bird.

It's just that, as the former king of the league, Larry Bird didn't care about the complaints and accusations of the fans behind him.

After all, when he retired that year, he didn't choose to stay with the Celtics. Instead, he left for Indiana, which was considered a breakup with the Celtics.

What's more, although Larry Bird broke up with the Celtics, he is not so stingy to deliberately target the Celtics in this matter!

Like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird is more excited now, more because he can defeat Magic Johnson in such a trivial matter, especially seeing Magic Johnson being slapped in the face madly, is what makes Larry Bird happy. Ray Bird is feeling excited about things right now.

After all, in their era, competition has always been the main theme.

Even now that the two have retired, this spirit and habit of competition will continue in life and work.

After Xu Lang made an additional free throw, the Eagles completely evened the four-point gap between the two teams in less than two rounds, and also opened up the opponent's absolute core inside and the biggest barrier on the defensive end. field.

All of this seems to indicate that the Eagles will turn over in this game.

It's just obvious that it's impossible for the Celtics to give up this game so easily.

Allen Iverson, who has scored 48 points in the whole game so far, is also impossible to let all his efforts go to waste at this time.

So soon after returning from the timeout, Iverson once again passed Tony Allen with the ball on the outside, and then faced Xu Lang's supplementary defense and completed a long-range mid-range shot.

This time Xu Lang's help defense was a little bit worse. Although Xu Lang didn't hesitate when he assisted defense this time, Allen Iverson made an emergency stop earlier than Xu Lang expected this time.

In fact, Allen Iverson was the one who was really taken aback.

After all, it was originally because of Xu Lang's help defense just now that Iverson stopped shooting immediately after entering one step within the three-point line during this attack.

Even so, Allen Iverson was almost blocked by Xu Lang again.

Such a terrifying defense ability directly shocked Iverson.

And just when Allen Iverson was still feeling that his attack was dangerous and dangerous this time.

On the other hand, the Eagles attacked, and Xu Lang made another shot two steps away from the three-point line, but this time Paul Pierce hesitated.

And Paul Pierce's slight hesitation directly made Xu Lang's shot this time from false to true.

When Paul Pierce's blocking action was one step late, Xu Lang's ball went directly into the net, helping the Eagles complete their first lead in the fourth quarter.

Xu Lang's attack also seemed to arouse Allen Iverson's desire to fight.

The same outside ball, the same rhythm change, and the same easy breakthrough, Allen Iverson once again threw off Tony Allen's defense and entered the three-point line.

It was another quick emergency stop, and Iverson was about to make another emergency stop to collect the ball and jump shot.

Xu Lang appeared in front of Allen Iverson earlier.
