Nba: Fusion Midorima, 100% 3-Pointer

May 26, 2001 U.S. time.

Early in the morning, the 76ers team with head coach Larry Brown on a flight to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

on the plane.

Head coach Larry Brown frowned, looked at the newspaper in his hand, and muttered:

"The Lakers beat the Spurs 131 to 82 to reach match point ahead of schedule!"

"Jordan, Kobe, O'Neal combined for 103 points! More points than the entire Spurs team?!"

Since Jordan joined the Lakers, the Lakers have brought blood to the Spurs.

Jordan, Kobe, and O'Neal clocked in before three quarters.

And the Spurs' inside twin towers are also powerless in the four quarters of the fierce battle~ Back to the sky!

You must know that the Spurs have achieved the best results in the Western Conference in this year's regular season, winning even two more games than the Eastern Conference's No. 1 76ers -!

Thinking of this, Larry Brown's face turned bad in an instant, and it dropped another grayscale.

At this time, Allen next to him patted Larry Brown on the shoulder and said:

"do not worry!

Milwaukee, Wisconsin, home of the Bucks - Bradley Center.

In the Eastern Conference finals, Game 3 of the 76ers against the Bucks is about to be held again.

There's still an hour left before the game starts.

Allen followed the 76ers into the arena for a pregame warm-up.

And the Bucks players are shooting, running, and laying up at the trainer early.

Everyone is full of energy, not at all like losing two games in a row.

The audience fans at the Bucks' home court have already entered the field one after another to take their seats.

Gradually, the whole venue became lively.

Fans are desperate for the team to win this game in their own arena!

In the three rows closest to the sidelines, there were two girls, wearing Allen's No. 4 home jersey.

One of the girls was Avril Lavigne, and the other, who danced happily, was Avril Lavigne's best friend, Kate.

The Bucks' home jersey has a purple edge and a white background, while the 76ers' home jersey has a black edge and a white background.

These two 76ers home jerseys are integrated into the jerseys of Bucks fans without any sense of disobedience.

Without careful screening of the front logo and the color of the lace, it is difficult to distinguish.

On the court, Allen wore an all-black and red-edged away jersey, ignoring the hustle and bustle on the sidelines, and constantly practiced mid-range shooting in the face of defense.

In the other half, Ray Allen continued to bombard the basket with three-pointers under the pass of the assistant coach.

brush!

brush!

For a while, the baskets on both sides were constantly bombed!

Bucks head coach George Karl watched Ray Allen's performance and kept nodding.

If only the game was so accurate!

"Looks like both sides are in good hands! This match must be a fantastic match!"

"Let's listen to the feelings of the stars on both sides before the game!"

The tnt commentators Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith who came to the scene ahead of time went to work ahead of time, took out the microphone and walked to the arena to work part-time as reporters.

At the Bucks home, the first person to be interviewed must be the Bucks star Ray Allen.

"Ray Allen, how will you as hosts welcome the Sixers to the Bradley Center?

"You know, the first two innings, you went to their home court and got a huge welcome from them!"

Barkley didn't say it so directly, but the listeners understood what he meant.

Ray Allen stopped his training and said to the camera:

"Of course, as the host, the welcome ceremony must be indispensable!"

"Since they all welcomed us so warmly, we must not be worse than them!"

Ray Allen followed Barkley's words, full of gunpowder.

Not worse than them?

Do you want a 60-point difference?

Barkley smiled and continued:

"Then let me tell you, how are you going to target the 76ers in this game? Or are you still trying to lock down Allen as always? 99

When the head coach George Karl saw this, he was worried that Ray Allen would reveal his tactics, and hurriedly replied:

"There is definitely a way, but it is inconvenient to disclose."

"You know, when the time comes, you will know on the field."

"I will make Allen look good! 95

"I'm going to beat him with the 3-pointer he's best at! 99

At the end, Ray Allen did not forget to grab the microphone and let out two harsh words.

"Okay, then thank you Ray Allen and George Carr for your short interview."

Buckley thanked him and walked towards Allen again.

"Hey Ai, if I remember correctly, this is the third away arena you've been to, how do you feel about the atmosphere? Are you nervous?

Barkley didn't go straight to the point, taking it step by step.

"Correct, I've been to most of the league's arenas, including this one.

"Don't forget, I signed at the beginning of the season and just didn't play.

"So there is no such thing as nervousness."

not nervous?

In less than a season, can you resist the pressure of the stadium?

And he hasn't played a game in the regular season.

Barkley was taken aback by Allen's answer, and then asked:

"Just now, Ray Allen said that as the host, we will prepare a welcome ceremony for you at the home court.""

"Ai, what do you think their welcome ceremony is?"

Allen replied, feigning doubt:

"Welcome? Gifts? Finals tickets? 35

Among the little doubts, the domineering side leaks!

s!

Barkley and Smith gasped at the same time!

Do you really not understand what I mean, or do you pretend not to understand?

Still giving away tickets to the finals?

Can't you let others play fake matches for you on their own turf?

Fortunately, this microphone is the microphone of the live broadcast room, not the microphone connected to the live amplification.

Otherwise, some fans who couldn't control their emotions must end up beating Allen.

So crazy!

At this time, the music on the sidelines began to sound, which means that the game is about to start.

"Thanks to Allen for the interview.

Having said that, both parties dispersed.

Barkley and Smith scolded and returned to the commentary booth to sit down, put on headphones...

Allen went back to the locker room.

The voice of the dj on the sidelines began to sound, introducing everyone to the venue.

"Kevin Oli!

"DiCambe Mutombo!"

"Allen!

The difference between home and away is vastly different, and amid the boos of all the Bucks fans, Allen trotted out at the end.

“Allen~!”

Among the thousands of boos, there were several warm voices in support of Allen.

The loud voice is even more eye-catching than the dj's voice just now.

Then, all the fans of the Bucks came on stage one by one under the introduction of the dj and the cheers of the fans.

"Ray Allen!" "Sam Cassell!" "Glenn Robinson!

The sound waves resounded throughout the arena!

beep~!

The opening whistle sounded.

The game is about to start, and players from both sides will appear.

76ers Starters: Point guard (PG) Allen, shooting guard (SG) George Lynch, small forward (SF) Tyron Hill, power forward (PF) Matt Geiger, center (C) Dicambe Mutombo.

Bucks starting lineup: Point guard (PG) Sam Cassell, shooting guard (SG) Ray Allen, small forward (SF) Glenn Robinson, power forward (PF) Scott Williams , Center (C) Erwin Johnson.

"The 76ers have a full-height lineup! Lynch is 2.03 meters, Hill is 2.06 meters, Geiger is 2.13 meters, Mutombo is 2.18 meters, and the shortest Allen is 1.98 meters, and wearing sneakers is more than two meters!"

"Yeah, now the average height of the starting lineup is 2.07 meters! The average height of the Bucks' starting lineup is only 2.01 meters, a full 6 cm more. Lynch, who is the main striker, has stood at the position of shooting guard. Is there no one for the 76ers' guard? ?"

"No, I remember there are at least two guards in the roster, Kevin Oli and Rodney Buford! Are they developing a new style of play? Slowing down the pace of the whole game? ?"

The 76ers' starting lineup was like a bomb, giving courtside commentators and the Bucks a crit.

76ers head coach Larry Brown looked at the expressions of the Bucks players and smiled.

The result he wants is this, now the 76ers are short of major generals, and only use this tactic to confuse the opponent and reduce the opponent's attention to Allen.

Game start.

Both sides jump ball in the middle circle.

Mutombo and Erwin Johnson stand above the center circle.

The referee stood in the middle and threw the ball high.

Mutombo seized the opportunity and jumped ahead of Erwin Johnson to get the ball into Allen's hands.

After Allen caught the ball, he pushed forward slowly, and waited for his teammates to drop at the top of the arc at the three-point line.

Facing the twin towers of the 76ers, the Bucks, who were already a little lower in height, did not dare to bring forward Scott Williams in the inside to help defend.

Had to change the defensive tactics, with Glenn Robinson man-marking Allen.

a little.

The 76ers are in a good position, and the entire team is a lot higher than the person defending him.

Seeing this, Allen turned the ball high and high to the inside.

After Mutombo received the ball, he made a shot fake, easily picked up Erwin Johnson, and prepared to play the board at close range.

Seeing this, Scott Williams immediately jumped up to make up the defense and threw himself towards the basketball in Mutombo's hands.

next moment.

The basketball passed Scott Williams and fell into the hands of Matt Geiger, who was against Scott Williams, hitting the board with both hands raised.

Go in!

Get the first point of the game!

The score is 2 to 0!

"It turns out that the 76ers are trying to play the height difference. Scott Williams at 2.08 meters has been against Teilon Hill at 2.06 meters before.

"Now facing two big insiders with a height of 2.1 meters or more, it is really a disadvantage."

Ball transfer, Bucks ball.

Sam Cassell received the ball, dribbled through the half, and his free left hand kept gesticulating in the air, calling it a tactic.

Scott Williams moves to the line and does the pick-and-roll for Sam Cassell.

Allen watched Sam Cassell's every move as he ran against Scott Williams' pick-and-roll.

Ray Allen took this opportunity to not only shuttle on the field, but also use the player's body to throw off the defenders again and again.

0.・・・・・For flowers・・・

Glenn Robinson made a pick-and-roll look ahead of the forty-five-degree 3-point line on the right.

At this point, Sam Cassell threw the ball directly to the side of Glenn Robinson regardless of whether anyone appeared.

next moment.

Ray Allen shows up, catches the basketball, makes a small foray, gestures, and pulls a jump shot on Glen Robinson's pick-and-roll.

And his guards were blocked by Glenn Robinson, causing no disturbance at all.

brush!

The basketball slid through the air and fell into the 76ers' net.

The score is 2 to 3!

"Well... Barkley, why do I feel this position is familiar?"

"Of course I'm familiar with it, isn't this player's coordinated movement, not the simple off-ball movement that the 76ers did for Allen at the beginning?

"Oh! I said why does it look so familiar.

Just scoring a three-pointer, the audience on the sidelines began to boil!

yes~!

Really useful!

Seeing that the first use of tactics was successful, Bucks head coach George Karl shook his fist in relief and sighed.

And ... at this time, the 76ers bench.

"It's too shameless! Also stealing tactics?"

"This George Carr can really do anything!

The substitutes were indignant.

76ers head coach Larry Brown said with a smile:

"Something! Started to change the way of thinking in just one day, as expected of you, George Carr! 39

"Head coach, why are you praising the other side?"

"That's a tactic made especially for Allen!

Backup guard Kevin Olly complained when he saw the head coach laughing and complimenting George Karl.

Larry Brown raised his eyebrows and said with a funny face:

"It's not something I made for him, it's Allen running on the field.

"It's all an opportunity he's looking for, only the final pick-and-roll is something he negotiated in advance."

What? Running out of time? How is it possible?

Players on the court move rapidly, how can they travel so precisely?

Can you use the body of your teammates or opponents every time to open the distance between you and the defender?

And it's doing so smoothly?!

Is this the difference between them and Allen?

The players on the bench were shocked when they heard the coach's words!

Back to the game.

The ball is exchanged, and the 76ers serve the baseline ball.

Allen, who was marking Sam Cassell, heard the commentary, thought for a moment, and went to the sideline to receive the serve.

"If they are still like this, you can switch defenses, we are taller, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage.

"You change where Ray Allen goes.

"As long as his position is not pulled away, he has no chance to shoot."

After catching the ball, he whispered beside his teammates.

Allen was at the top of the arc again, waiting for his teammates to settle down.

Seeing this, Glenn Robinson began to provocatively say:

"Hey! Yellow-skinned boy, aren't you very good at deducting?"

"Why can't you play now? Just looking for teammates?

In the face of Glenn Robinson's trash talk, Allen didn't take it seriously, dribbling the ball at super high speed, swiping his teammates from the corner of his eye.

call!

Glenn Robinson heard only a whistling sound.

The basketball flew past Glenn Robinson's head and headed towards Mutombo on the inside.

Glenn Robinson tried to catch the basketball with his eyes, and when he turned back, the secret channel was not good, and he quickly turned him back to the front.

At this point, Allen had disappeared.

Mutombo threw the ball into the air like a urinal.

A player who has won three championships anyway.

Seeing this, Scott Williams immediately saw the intention of the 76ers and directly squeezed Matt Geiger, who was standing in front of him.

Stepping forward with a crab, blocking Allen's path, trying to interfere with Allen's catch in the air.

By this time, Allen had taken off with great strides, grabbed the basketball as he flew through the air, and put his knees on Scott Williams' shoulders.

Duang!

Use both hands to smash the basketball into the box.

Air dunk!

Scott Williams didn't stand still, and after being hit by Allen, he fell backwards with a thud.

At the end of the dunk, I still did a stomach-tucking action on the basket before I landed!

beep~!

At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.

Bucks No. 42, Scott Williams blocked the foul.

The goal is valid, and a penalty is added!

"Glenn Robinson was too careless! He was so caught up in basketball that he forgot who he was defending!

"But one thing to say, Allen's dunk is really handsome, and has the style of my year!

"Barkley can really brag about himself, you can take a step from the free throw line and dunk every other person? It's just going to use your big ass."

On the commentary stand, Barkley and Smith quarreled while commenting, and the atmosphere was lively.

Allen stood at the free throw line and was booed from the sidelines.

This is the treatment of away games, psychologically interfering with the players.

Allen turned a deaf ear, took the referee's ball, and made a steady penalty.

Then, raise your index finger in front of your lips.

Shh~! Again.
