Chapter 207 Keeping up with Iverson

Chapter 207 Keeping up with Iverson

In the arena, Su Yang stood in the right corner and waited.

"Singles, don't pass it on!"

"They're coming!"

"You said 50 points!"

The audience on the sidelines shouted loudly, which quickly aroused a large number of echoes, and various demands emerged one after another.

Su Yang smiled and didn't take it seriously. He knew very well that in the past few rounds of the Clippers, except for being blocked by passing the ball twice, the other few rounds basically succeeded in executing tactics. impatient.

However, the Suns have indeed scored fiercely in the past few rounds. Considering the momentum of the game, it is necessary to respond.

At this time, Davis just dribbled the ball to the right wing, and Su Yang immediately reached out to cover.

Davis threw the ball to the top of the arc, turned and ran in front of him, and set up a wall to block Richard.

Su Yang took the opportunity to start, bowed and accelerated to 45 degrees to the right, and Richardson chased after him.

He raised his hand to receive the pass, turned around and jumped facing the basket, ready to grab the rhythm and make a strong three-pointer.

Before the basketball was shot, the referee's whistle sounded early, and Richardson was fouled by the thug.

"Three free throws!" The referee gestured.

Richardson exploded instantly, shouting WTF.

Beep!The referee blew his whistle again, whistled technical Richardson for a technical foul, and added an additional free throw.

Richardson was dumbfounded, with an extremely angry expression on his face, but Lopez quickly pulled him away.

Su Yang was a little confused, turned his head to look at his teammates, and was a little surprised in his heart: "Why did he pick up 4 free throws for nothing?"

It is true that the shot has not been completed just now. Richardson is at most an ordinary foul, and the referee is a bit messed up.

Barnes and the others shrugged and spread their hands. They didn't seem to know the reason, but the smile on their faces was hard to hide.

There were bursts of MVP cheers in the arena. Su Yang stood on the free throw line and took the first free throw for a technical foul.

He made a steady hollow hit, followed by three free throws for shooting fouls, and the Clippers went ahead 18 to 15.

The central screen simultaneously showed that he had scored 16 points, only 50 points away from the goal of 34 points.

Ernie said with a smile: "If it were any other player, with only 34 points left, I'm afraid they would be laughed at..."

Kenny continued: "This reminds me of Kobe in the 06 season. After scoring 50+ points in four consecutive games, he finally only scored 40 points. Unfortunately, the Clippers' configuration is almost perfect. It is difficult for Su Yang to get the opportunity to continuously challenge high scores. .”

Offensive and defensive transition, Nash dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and once again initiated the tactic of raising the corner of the shooting guard with a cover.

Richardson went around smoothly, caught the ball and twisted his hips and headed straight into the paint. He defended against Jordan and forced a layup.

Su Yang was thrown far away, not because he couldn't catch up, but because Stoudemire violated the movement screen, and his movements were particularly large.

But the referee seemed to pretend not to see it, and Su Yang didn't bother thinking about taking advantage of it before.

Turning to the Clippers to attack, they directly started with the triangle offensive routine, trying to create a waist singles opportunity for Su Yang.

However, because Richardson was misjudged before, he was very active in defense and made various interferences around the front.

The tactic failed to execute smoothly, and the basketball went round and round and ran into Randolph's hands, but unfortunately the back hit failed.

The Suns got the rebound and launched a counterattack. Nash and Stoudemire played a pistol to cooperate with each other, making long-range shots.

The offensive efficiency of the two teams has dropped visible to the naked eye, and they only scored 2 points in nearly 2 minutes.

The Suns took the initiative to request a timeout to make adjustments. At this time, there were three minutes and 52 seconds left before the end of the first quarter.

The Clippers team returned to the bench. Van Gundy repeatedly emphasized the content mentioned in the pre-match analysis meeting and asked the entire team to strictly implement it, because the strategies displayed by the Suns on both ends of the offense and defense were all the same as the pre-match analysis.

In a blink of an eye, the pause is over.

The Suns replaced Lopez with Channing Frye, and the Clippers replaced Davis with Blake.

The referee gestured, the Suns launched an attack from the bottom line of the backcourt, and Nash took the ball to the top of the arc.

The Suns put up a V-shaped offensive formation, which was different from usual, with Frye in the bottom corner on the right.

Nash moved to the right with the help of Stoudemire's cover at the top of the arc, and a feint successfully tricked Blake into moving to the left.

Stoudemire blocked Blake's defense route, and Nash twisted his hips and went straight to the paint.

Su Yang quickly moved laterally to defend, and the basketball immediately flew to the right wing.Richardson catches the ball and rushes to the bottom line. After successfully attracting Jordan to intercept, he raises his hand and throws the ball to the bottom corner. Frye catches the ball and makes a decisive three-pointer.

The basketball made a hollow hit, the Suns tied the score 20-20, and the bench was filled with joy.

The Clippers kicked off, and Su Yang took it to the left wing of the frontcourt. After his teammates opened up the space, he quickly changed hands and shook his crotch.

It's a pity that Richardson has the advantage of height. After merging the ball, he swayed twice in a row, but he couldn't make it fly.

What's even more embarrassing is that it is difficult to perform more operations after the ball is combined, so the basketball can only be distributed first.

Blake took the ball from the left wing and immediately passed it to the left waist very tacitly. After receiving the ball, Randolph chose to hit the ground and pass the ball quite spiritually. Su Yang caught the ball and jumped to the basket with a big leap. Stoudemire and Frye both forced to take off.

boom!The three of them collided with each other in the air.

Su Yang gritted his teeth to stabilize his figure, gave up the dunk and changed to push the ball to hit the board, and then fell heavily to the floor.

Beep!The referee whistled for a foul, and the basketball hit the board and rebounded into the net at the same time.

The cheers in the arena exploded, Su Yang pulled Randolph up with both hands, and trotted around the baseline.

Ernie held his glasses in his hand: "If he made an extra free throw, it would be 19 points in a single quarter, which is only a little away from 20+ points in a single quarter. This is also an achievement in the playoffs. Only Iverson and Kobe are active. Ten players made it."

Kenny said: "With his current hot touch, it is very likely to break the record."

Barkley said: "He needs to deduct 4 points first, and those 4 free throws are definitely misjudgments..."

During the discussion, Su Yang made an additional free throw and scored his 19th point. The audience cheered and celebrated.

In the transition between offense and defense, Nash ran to the top of the arc with the ball, observed for a while, and used the hourly screen to break through.

Seeing this, Su Yang directly shrank and intercepted from the flanks, and led the team to start a local three-defense and two-two tactic.

Nash failed to make a breakthrough, so he quickly passed the ball to Richardson on the wing, and Su Yang quickly returned to the defense.

Richardson tried for a while, raised his hand to pass the ball back, and took advantage of the opportunity to cover for Nash who came out.

Amidst the boos of the audience, Nash started to break through again, but failed to get rid of Blake to catch up.

The two arrived at the free throw line in the blink of an eye. Facing the threat of the Clippers encircling, Nash stopped and pulled the ball and turned around.

But his speed was too fast, his center of gravity lost his balance and his soles slipped. He sat down on the floor and the basketball flew out.

Su Yang stepped forward to catch it, and galloped forward with Blake, forming a two-on-one advantage in the frontcourt.

Seeing that Richardson wanted to make a tactical foul, Su Yang hit the ground and passed the ball, and immediately jumped up.

Blake knew it and threw the ball into the air. Su Yang grabbed it firmly with both hands and aimed at the basket for a dunk.

The basketball blasted into the net, Su Yang scored the 21st point, and the cheers in the arena exploded like dozens of thunderbolts.

In the TNT commentary booth, Barkley was full of displeasure, always emphasizing that Blake defended Nash for fouling.

Kenny said: "Su Yang's goal is to be on par with Iverson. He wants to score 26 points in a single quarter in the playoffs!"
