Chapter 35 Iverson

"The combination of two superstars who can't produce a chemical reaction is a joke."

"Iverson will never win a championship, his basketball is a mistake."

"That's the 'answer."

This seems to have become a media feast, and people unscrupulously attacked the Nuggets, attacked Iverson, and attacked his basketball that is intertwined with love and hate.

"As many people love Iverson, as many people hate him."

This sentence may be the most accurate portrayal of Iverson's entire career.

In the eyes of those who hate him, his dazzling dribbling is as flashy as juggling, his unpredictability is like a green plum, and his flexible and difficult step-back jumper is described as selfish. In the eyes of only basketball and no teammates .
In all of this, nothing has changed, except time.

Since he became the shortest champion in history, since he landed in Philadelphia, he came to Denver with him.

People have been arguing about him, from becoming the No. [-] pick, becoming the scoring leader, replacing Philadelphia in the playoffs, reaching the finals, and crossing Tyronn Lue.
About Iverson's life is a growth history of someone who learned lessons from various mistakes and gradually matured. His success was built time and time again with those unimaginable In the game with fate.

However, this time he let people down again. This is a man who grew up amidst thorns and setbacks, never gave up, and would never compromise in the face of fate.

Iverson has gotten used to the pressure from all sides, and the irony that will accompany him no matter what, these are not enough to crush his fighting spirit, but will make his fighting spirit even more high!

Facing these, Iverson pursed his lips and tied his shoelaces silently.

He's at it again!
Time seems to be back in 2001, the magnificent finals arena
Iverson breaks through, Iverson jumps, Iverson steals, Iverson passes.
In the thornbush, Iverson once again created a legendary moment. In the fourth game of the first round of the playoffs, he scored 47 points and sent 4 assists. The total score was tied at 2:2.

预言从马刺会4:0淘汰掘金，变成了4:1，又变成了如今的4:2。在第五场比赛开始之前，人们还是不相信掘金会走的更远。

It was Iverson again, who stood up when the Spurs once again offered the iron chain and Anthony was locked.

In the first half, he shot 23 times, hit 11 goals, and made 4 free throws, scored 26 points, and tenaciously helped the Nuggets return to the visiting team's locker room with a three-point lead.

Although the Spurs were behind at home in this game, they actually performed well. Parker and Duncan showed their best side. With Iverson, it is impossible for the Spurs to be only three points behind.

So after returning to the locker room, Popovich has no plans to adjust the lineup.

But the second minute after returning from the second half, Popovich quickly called a timeout because Anthony was back.

To Anthony, Shi Lei was a stranger, the two had never faced each other before, and no team would have the leisure to do technical analysis on a fringe player.But Anthony is different. His technical characteristics have long become part of the necessary subjects in other teams, and even many fans have a deep understanding of his skills.

One side knows the opponent well, and the other knows nothing about the opponent. In terms of strategy, this is not equal at all.

But this is also a part of the game of a master player. They will always face obstacles from strangers from time to time. How to adjust their state has become the key to their greatness.

Any adjustment will take time, and Shi Lei is indeed more suitable to defend Anthony in many aspects. It took Anthony three games to finally let his energy break through the small embankment.

After the breakthrough, Shi Lei stepped back and shot a jumper. Shi Lei's not-so-great lateral movement ability couldn't interfere with Anthony's shooting well.Changing hands from left to right for jump shots, Shi Lei's poor game experience was unable to judge Anthony's shots.

and also
In fact, after every difficulty has passed, people will find that there are actually endless ways to deal with it.

After Anthony did it, Shi Lei no longer threatened him.

Popovich's adjustment did not help the team. They were facing a team of Nuggets who broke through the cage.

The crazy scoring of the Nuggets in the third quarter almost turned the fourth quarter of the game into garbage time.

The Nuggets won the crucial battle, but this did not silence the media, but they no longer commented on Iverson and Anthony. They happily changed their angle and criticized the spurs.

Spectators are never wrong, their mouths always make everything look very simple, everything is as easy as talking.

"Disappointing Spurs!"

"Duncan's dominance is gone!"

"Tony Parker's Road to Fall!"

"Only 11 points in five games, but Popovich brought him to the playoffs." This is what Shi Lei said.

"Wrong choice, Udri and Stone cost the Spurs the chance to fight for the championship."

Not only the media, but also the fans expressed concern. The bookmaker even adjusted the Spurs' winning odds overnight, dropping them from No.1 to seventh.

All the pressure came to the side of the Spurs, the disaster seems to have enveloped San Antonio, as the head coach of the team had to stand up and deal with the questioning of the media and fans.

"There is no need to prove Tim's strength. We enter the playoffs every year and are one of the contenders for the championship every year. Isn't this the best embodiment of Tim's dominance?"

"I don't think we'll be the first team to get knocked out. It's more of a joke. As a reporter, you should have professional knowledge. Go back and look at our record. We've faced enough difficulties, but We haven't been out in the first round in ten years."

"Oh, you don't know how good that guy is. You can go and interview some Mr. Cameron and ask him to tell you why his shots are often out of focus."

"No, no, no, I'm sure Udrih will adjust himself. He's a smart guy. He's just not familiar with the playoffs. You can't ask a first-year rookie to perform like a star. I still give him the reason. Chance adjustments, I trust him, that's it."
