Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 175 The so-called "Stone Buddha"

Sanders called the starting players over, and after laying out a targeted defense against Iverson, he waved his hand and let the players play again.

The Western team's starters all came on the field, and the Eastern team also replaced their starters. In the second half of the second quarter, it seemed that both sides wanted to show.

As a substitute, O'Neal contributed 12 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks during this limited period of time, showing his lethality inside.

After returning, the western team attacked first. After several down balls, Duncan was in position. Kobe's pass flew in quickly. He relied on hitting Ben Wallace. At this time, Duncan's physical strength was all At the peak level, coupled with his super high basketball IQ, it can be said to be a bug-like existence.

After he holds the ball.Facing the stronger Wallace, he pushed two steps in. After feeling Wallace's defensive center of gravity, he made a sharp turn to the left, followed by a right turn, and the wide body quickly overwhelmed Wallace Shi shook a little dizzy.

However, Wallace is a famous defensive player after all. Although Duncan's offensive intentions are hard to understand, his body determines his defensive upper limit. "Big Ben" is firmly stuck in his position at the moment, preventing the Duncan goes inside.

But just when Wallace was defending, Duncan suddenly turned around, and then he used a hook that he had used countless times.

With a "bang", the ball hit the red circle on the basket, and then fell into the net bag with a "shua".

Duncan, famous wiper, stable and no friends at all.

Although Big Ben Wallace's temper is not as violent as Rasheed Wallace's, he is also a master with a strong smell of gunpowder. Now when he saw Duncan's wiping board, he couldn't help but swear: "Fuck! "

But Duncan's naturally dumbfounded expression showed no expression at all, as if the person Wallace scolded wasn't him, or he couldn't hear because of his bad ears, he turned around and ran back.

Wallace had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only hold back his temper.

Duncan's play finally broke the Western team's long-term scoring drought, and the morale of the Western team was also boosted. However, the Eastern team looked back. After O'Neal was off the court, Iverson rushed in with the ball and passed Kobe. Facing Garnett who was supplementing the defense, he made a sharp turn in mid-air, avoided the block like a twist, and then made a small throw to score two more points for the Eastern team, biting the score tightly.

"Allen's scoring ability is really unmatched." Seeing Iverson's performance on the court, Barkley said with sincere admiration. If you want to say that this period of time, it was Iverson who singled out the western stars alone, and now It also presents a posture of not falling behind. This kind of self-confidence and this persistence are not really impossible for ordinary people.

"Allen's firepower is fierce. Now facing his old opponent Kobe, he is holding his breath. In 01, he failed to stand to the end. This time, he returned to the Staples Arena. He seems to want to prove himself "Johnson saw Iverson's eye-catching performance at this time, and said with emotion. As a celebrity, he is also full of respect for Iverson. Although he has achieved much more than Iverson, Iverson Sen's belief in daring to challenge everything is not comparable to him even now.

Just when the two commentators entered the stage of emotion unknowingly, the game on the court suddenly became anxious. The West team turned around and Garnett assisted Duncan to hit a high two-pointer again. Looking back, Iverson added points for the Eastern team with a precise mid-range shot.

After Iverson came up in this period, it seemed that he really opened up, and he always helped the Eastern team to bite the score tightly.

But the West team is not to be outdone. After Duncan played, Wallace has hit two goals in a row.

Anthony noticed that Duncan was in good shape at this moment. After he received the ball this time, he immediately passed the ball again.

Duncan played deep this time, facing Wallace again, Duncan lifted the ball high, then moved his strong back and started to hit it.

"Bang bang..."

The strong bodies of the two collided with each other, making dull noises one after another. Under the seemingly quiet defense, the two were engaged in the most primitive and fierce physical confrontation. Perhaps only the parties knew the intensity of the confrontation.

Wallace is worthy of being Big Ben. In the face of Duncan's strong attack, he has always maintained a defensive position. When it comes to defending Duncan, he said that he defended second best. I guess no one dares to say that he is the first.

With the physical confrontation between the two people, the game time is also slowly passing by this kind of muscle confrontation. It seems that it will enter ten seconds. Duncan is still fighting Wallace near the three-second zone at this time, and It seems to be endless.

Wallace also looked at his watch, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. As long as this stalemate continues, he is likely to prevent Duncan from scoring this time.

But just as he was smiling, Duncan suddenly forcibly made a shot.

Wallace was taken aback. He wanted to reach out to block, but he immediately realized that Duncan's shot was different from his usual shooting style and angle. It can be said that this was completely a physical confrontation. This kind of movement is only made when you lose your center of gravity.

Wallace was secretly proud. Although Duncan was stable, he still couldn't take advantage of him who was equally good in strength and defense.

"Dangdang!"

The ball went out of Duncan's hand, and the angle was a bit off. Sure enough, as Wallace expected, it hit the edge of the backboard directly, and then bounced up.

Wallace heard the sound behind him, turned around and was about to grab the backcourt rebound, because he was closer to the basket, so this rebound was a must.

Wallace turned around, he had already seen the ball in his eyes, and he was about to grab him with his hand.

At this moment, a big hand suddenly stretched out from beside him, it was very fast, and it only had two fingers.

"This is?" A trace of doubt flashed in Wallace's mind. Before he touched the ball, the hand grabbed it before him, and then tapped the ball.

At this moment, the ball defensively accepted the order, and suddenly changed direction in mid-air, from flying outwards to flying inwards.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, the ball was clicked directly into the basket!

It wasn't until the ball was scored that Wallace reacted. His hands were still going up to hug the ball, ready to grab it into his arms, but at this moment the basketball had already entered the net bag early.

He was wondering when he turned around and saw that the person who made the tip was Duncan. The latter still had a natural blank expression, without any expression, and turned around and retreated to the backcourt.

At this moment, Wallace had nowhere to vent his morale, picked up the ball from the ground, and then hit it on the basket in a circle, scaring the underground cameraman to look at him in horror.

Wallace vented a bit, and his mood improved a little.

For the ball just now, Duncan seemed to have lost his center of gravity. In fact, he didn't intend to throw the ball in at all, so he kept his strength when he shot it, which is why he looked like that. But after the ball was shot, He has used the remaining strength to quickly take off for the second time, and the second time is to touch the ball with his hands.

Wallace is a defensive champion, so he naturally attaches great importance to rebounds, but the idea is to grab the rebound, but Duncan has a different idea. He wants to point the ball into the basket. The two look similar, but in reality In the battle, the speed of penalty kicks will be much faster than rebounds. This is why many people like to pass the ball directly to the basket, and they grab that speed.

In any case, Duncan used his own experience to beat Wallace with this ball. Counting this, he has scored three goals in a row, which can be said to be a good lesson for Ben.

"Tim is too stable. Once the ball is in his hands, people will never waste opportunities." Johnson couldn't help but praise Duncan when he saw Duncan's steady performance.

"Tim's stability is unmatched by others. There is no doubt about it, but compared to his performance, I am more concerned about this guy's expression." Barkley said helplessly, "This guy, always Just this expression, whether you are behind or ahead, even when you hit the game-winning goal, you have to remember it even if you don’t want to!”

There was resentment in Barkley's words. It seemed that he was quite dissatisfied with Duncan's natural blank expression.

"Haha..." Johnson couldn't help laughing when he saw Barkley's appearance. Barkley seldom had such a performance, but this also just showed Duncan's stability from the side, and only Duncan Only this kind of player can become the backbone of the field. If he stands there, you feel that the whole team will not lose. Perhaps, this is another way of saying cornerstone.

On the court, Jermaine O'Neal saw Wallace deflated continuously, and said. "Ben, I'll guard Duncan."

"No, this guy, I'll definitely lock him down next time." Wallace said angrily. If you give in, it will be a cowardly performance.

"Ben." At this moment, Jr. O'Neal glanced at Iverson who was dribbling the ball, and said meaningfully, "He still remembers Allen's last loss on this field, we can let him find Are you sorry?"

Wallace was originally angry, but after hearing what O'Neal Jr. said, he also looked at Iverson's short stature and the inexplicable sense of silence surrounding him. He struggled a bit, and finally nodded. nodded.

The Eastern team continued to attack. This time, Iverson broke through to the inside. After successfully attracting double-teams, he quickly stuffed the ball out, and Reid just fell into position on the outside.

With a sound of "shua", Reed hit a three-pointer for the Eastern team!

This goal brought the score to 9 points in an instant, and the point difference was narrowed to single digits in one fell swoop.

After McGrady hit a three-pointer, he looked at the point difference, beat his chest with a little excitement, and then ran to high-five Iverson.

Seeing that after the main force was replaced, the point difference was still deadlocked and narrowed to single digits. Sanders frowned, dragging his chin, not knowing what to write.
