Chapter 87 Victory Again
Zhang Chen was a little skeptical that Iverson's style of play could support the entire game.

He himself clearly felt that the physical strength of this game was passing faster.

Due to the opponent's desperate efforts, the 76ers also took the lead.

"To prevent the death of others is, Zhang, just be careful not to foul." Pat Riley was very calm.

"What, are you conserving your strength?" Iverson rarely took the initiative to provoke.

He won't be fooled, this is a protracted battle, Zhang Chen secretly reminded himself.

The referee's whistle blew, and Zhang Chen's defensive action became a little louder. He sighed secretly, "It's still affected after all."

But you can't watch the opponent get angry, maybe Iverson is excited, and his physical strength will not be affected.

With his back to the opponent holding the ball again, when Zhang Chen attacked, Iverson was very close, because with his reaction speed, he didn't worry about being suddenly passed by Zhang Chen.

However, sometimes it’s okay not to rely on speed. He dribbled the ball and squeezed against the opponent. He swung the man down with his arms crossed.

It's quite strenuous to play like this, but it consumes a little energy and saves energy and movement when defending.

In fact, Zhang Chen is also a little concerned about Iverson's madness. He has cheated to recover his physical strength. Could it be that he is not as good as the other party? He wants to see who gets tired first.

The two of them got into a fight, and started to come and go.

"Could Zhang have played harder? Our team's situation is different from the opponent's." Beside the bench, Stan Van Gundy worried.

"Don't worry at all, his recovery ability should be the strongest in the team... Even if he loses his physical strength later on, there is no problem, as long as he can make a minor adjustment to Iverson." Pat Riley said with a smile. Both Zhang Chen and Iverson lost their strength, and he believed that the Heat must take advantage.

Besides, Iverson has no physical strength and has to fight hard. If Zhang Chen is really exhausted, the Heat can replace him to rest, but he has never gone down first when he was out of physical strength when defending other players.

"Iverson hit another mid-range shot. The 76ers lead by 7 points. Let's see if the point difference will continue to expand before halftime."

"Zhang Chen also hit the CIC. It seems that the score is not so easy to be opened."

"Both of them looked like they were going to contribute to a scoring battle, and neither of them had a break from the start."

"Allen, to be honest, aren't you tired?" Zhang Chen couldn't help asking when he was seated.

"As long as I can win, I will not be tired. My willpower will not allow it."

Hearing the other party's serious answer, Zhang Chen was a little surprised. His willpower felt a bit secondary, but is it enough just by willpower? Forget it, he wouldn't lose even if it was this.

Iverson once again got into a crowded place, which is beneficial for his teammates to cover and come out to catch the ball.

Shooting fakes, changing directions, dribbling, and quick impact. When the two of them came into contact, the counter-shock of the collision was another beautiful step back.

At 42:49, the 76ers took the lead. Zhang Chen looked at the time of the game and dribbled the ball quickly from the backcourt.

Zhang Chen didn't make a breakthrough, and made a three-pointer from the three-point line, 45:49.

It's the last half minute of the first half, and Zhang Chen has another chance to attack if he hits a quick hit. He intends to get the score closer at the end of the half.

Iverson also rushed over with a dribble, "It's easy to score after a break." Zhang Chen lowered his center of gravity and was ready to intercept. Will the opponent shoot a three-pointer?

The answer is no, Iverson rushed to the inside of the Heat holding the ball.

For a player like him, he would never take into account that the Heat's insider has Mourning, the shot-blocking leader, even though he has been blocked in these two games.

Zhang Chen quickly retreated and kept up. He didn't rest in the first half, and Iverson was not a god. It seemed that the speed of the ball was a little slower.

Jumping up at about the same time, Iverson turned and slammed into him in the air.

Zhang Chen bumped into the basketball hoop with his back. Fortunately, his skin was thick and his flesh was thick, but Iverson fell to the ground, but he got up immediately, and he threw the ball back into it, 45:51.

In the last attack of the first half, Zhang Chen pressed the time.

Although the frontal breakthrough does not have an advantage against Iverson, it does not mean that he will not play any frontal breakthrough.

Especially in this kind of last-minute attack, no one will be hit by you slowly. He accelerated and rushed over, but he deliberately slowed down in front of Iverson. Speed ​​alone is not safe, and it may cause dribbling. hit people.

As soon as Zhang Chen was slow, he turned half of his body and directly made physical contact, and then squeezed in.

The only way to break through Iverson is to squeeze past Iverson with his body, but what Zhang Chen didn't expect was that Iverson's defensive toughness was very strong this time. Zhang Chen bumped into each other.

Not too thin, it hurts to bump into someone.

The ball was suspected of being a foul, but it was the opponent who was knocked away, and the referee didn't blow the whistle, so Zhang Chen's throw was not accurate enough, and the shot missed a little bit. At the end of the first half, the Heat trailed by 6 points.

In the locker room, the staff is helping Zhang Chen relax his muscles. The first half was really hard. According to this rhythm, it will be a bit difficult to play the whole game, but the 76ers will really let Iverson play the full game. The audience? Logically, they couldn't support it.

The opponent's style of play makes the Heat not need to arrange too many complicated tactics.

Protecting the rebound and helping to cut off the connection between Iverson and other teammates is the key.

After all, on offense, the Heat don't care about the opponent's high-intensity physical contact defense. Noah was hurt too.

This is restraint. Perhaps when encountering other teams, the support of other 76ers for Iverson will be greater, but it is difficult to play against the Heat.

At the beginning of the second half, the 76ers attacked first. Iverson passed the ball to his teammate for a transition, but immediately ran to the other side to catch the ball, took a feint and rushed towards the baseline.

Zhang Chen turned half of his body sideways and covered him with his long arms. He could cross the baseline, but he couldn't shoot or rush into the middle.

Iverson accelerated the second time, took a step forward, and jumped up as if to dunk.

Zhang Chen was not in a hurry. It was impossible for the opponent to complete this kind of attack from this angle. It's not that Iverson couldn't dunk the basket. Chance.

Not to mention him, jumping directly from the side like this, even O'Neill would not be able to do this in front of Mourning. The best defensive player is not picked, but out of the box.

But when Mourning's big hand pressed the past, Iverson took the ball into his arms in an instant, hit Mourning's body, and then hit the ball with a big drawbar.

Shit, Zhang Chen cursed directly behind him, this physical fitness is also a fortress.

Unexpectedly, after Iverson landed, he pressed his waist in pain.

This situation made Larry Brown so anxious that he immediately let the staff pass by, but Iverson waved his hand and walked towards their half.

During the Heat's offense, Zhang Chen found that the opponent's movement speed seemed to be a little slow, "Allen, are you okay." Although there is an enemy on the court, Zhang Chen doesn't want him to be in trouble.

"Of course it's fine."

That being said, after two more rounds, Iverson obviously felt unwell, was replaced, and returned to the locker room.

"Iverson is injured, I hope he will be fine."

"Without Iverson, the 76ers were immediately affected, and the Heat seized the time to catch up with the score."

After Iverson went down, Zhang Chen also sat on the bench to rest.

After all, the opponent is still working too hard and can't hold it. If you get injured, it's not just as simple as losing the game, so you still have to find the most reasonable way to win.

After playing for half a quarter in the third quarter, Iverson actually returned to the court.

In this scene, don't make any drama about the return of the king.

The opponent didn't play right away, and only returned to the court in the fourth quarter. Because of this, Zhang Chen also rested for most of the quarter. When neither of them was on the court, the Heat won by 12 points in a single quarter and overtook the opponent by 6 points. up.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhang Chen did not hesitate to forcefully beat Iverson who was playing again. There was no sympathy on the court. Defeating the opponent is respect. He will not be unable to fight because the opponent is suspected of being injured.

Iverson didn't seem to have any problems. He should shoot suddenly, but Zhang Chen who was facing him knew that there must still be some problems. He no longer had the fierceness before. With Zhang Chen's defense, the current Iverson Forsun, there is no threat.

The rest of the 76ers got more chances. Aaron McGee scored 10 points in the last quarter, but it didn't help.

In the fourth quarter, the Heat fully grasped the rhythm of the field and won the game in one fell swoop.

At 106:91, the Heat led 2:0 with a total score.

After the game, Iverson's injury was the most concerned issue for everyone. Even Zhang Chen, who went to the post-match press conference together, was asked about this aspect, but the question was not so friendly.

"Zhang, does your victory have anything to do with Iverson's injury? Before that, the Heat started to lag behind."

"First of all, I hope that there is no problem with his body and that it will not affect the next game. For athletes, injuries are the most abominable thing, but this has nothing to do with the Heat's victory. We have been playing at our own pace. Finally We do better."

"Do you want to predict the total score of your series?"

"All I can say is, we're going to win."
