Chapter 94 Iverson and Francis on top!
"Coach!" Allen Iverson was even more anxious and shouted loudly when he saw that Larry Brown had not responded for a long time.
Larry Brown sighed deep down when he heard Iverson's shout.
Then he walked to the tactical board, picked up the black brush and started drawing.
While drawing, he said: "In the second half, we will play regional joint defense."
"Remember! Play in the right way! Everyone must work hard to defend! Focus on several outside players of the Rockets, and don't give them the chance to easily break through the basket."
................
During the entire halftime break, Larry Brown talked about the next defensive tactics.
This is the only thing he can do at the moment.
The 76ers' tactics have always been like this in recent years.
Larry Brown is responsible for defensive tasks with four other players of the Sixers, and the offense is handed over to Allen Iverson.
"Beep!"
The intermission time ends and the third quarter officially begins.
Allen Iverson came to the frontcourt with the ball, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
He looked at Francis and whispered: "Come on, brother. I will definitely win this game!"
After hearing Allen Iverson's words, Francis suddenly felt a little dissatisfied.
Brother, you are still behind! You said you will definitely win?!
Did I agree?
Allen Iverson didn't say anything else and dribbled to the left.
Then suddenly there was an emergency stop, pulled the basketball back to the right, and rushed from the right at an extremely fast speed.
After rushing into the three-point line, Allen Iverson made a quick stop and jump shot.
"Swish!"
Two points.
Allen Iverson looked at Francis with some provocation.
The meaning in the eyes is very obvious.
I know you have good teammates.
But so what?!
I can lead the team to victory as well.
As Allen Iverson's friend for many years, how could Francis not see the meaning conveyed in his eyes?
At this moment, Francis' unyielding spirit surged up.
Although he was very convinced by Han Ning, he was very willing to play ball according to Han Ning's command on the court.
But when he is stimulated, he still can't help but get up.
He took the initiative to ask for the ball to come to the frontcourt and faced Allen Iverson's defense. Francis did not pass the ball as Han Ning's request, but stared at Allen Iverson and said softly: "
Brother, let’s decide the winner.”
Allen Iverson's eyes lit up.
This is what he wants!
If the Rockets kept consuming his energy, he would definitely not be able to bear it.
But he is still confident that he can catch up with the score if he can fight Francis one-on-one.
Francis took the ball to a 45° angle and turned around and started to hit the back.
Drip the ball with his right hand, holding on to Allen Iverson bit by bit, and approaching the basket.
Allen Iverson felt the power of Francis and stepped back step by step.
Suddenly, Allen Iverson seized the opportunity, quickly reached out and directly broke the basketball in Frances's hand.
Then run forward quickly, catch up with the basketball and then follow the fast attack.
Easily make a layup without defense.
The 76ers once again narrowed the gap.
After being cut off by Allen Iverson, Francis was even more dissatisfied and took the initiative to ask for the ball. When he came to the frontcourt, he still did not choose to pass the ball and continued to fight with Allen Iverson head-on.
Facing Allen Iverson, Francis said in a deep voice: "It's a mistake for Brown to ask you to guard against me."
After saying that, Francis suddenly started to speed, rushed directly from Allen Iverson, and rushed directly to the basket.
With the help of Yao Yao's position, he jumped and dunked without any pressure.
“bang!”
After completing the dunk, Francis passed by Allen Iverson and chuckled softly.
At this moment, Allen Iverson couldn't help but feel anger in his heart.
The defensive tactics arranged by Larry Brown are indeed not for him to defend Francis, but to play in the joint defense.
Now that he heard Frances say this, Allen Iverson gets caught up.
I am not only strong in offense, but also in defense!
"Shut up! Let's see how I beat you up!" Allen Iverson shouted in a deep voice.
The two of them squirted about each other's trash words, and the game suddenly turned into a one-on-one battle between them.
Allen Iverson just made a layup and scored a layup.
Francis returned another mid-range shot.
The two of them fought back and forth.
Barkley and Smith on the sidelines were both excited.
"Francis and Allen Iverson have just started! This game has become interesting! It seems that the two are preparing to decide the winner on the court!" Barkley shouted loudly.
Smith nodded and echoed: "I don't think both of them play according to the tactics of the head coaches of both sides. But this is Allen Iverson and Francis! If they don't do this, will they still be their personalities?
!”
Fans watching the game agreed with Smith's words.
Francis and Allen Iverson have never been obedient people.
It would be abnormal if you keep playing according to the coach's arrangement.
Han Ning couldn't help but frown when he stood on the sidelines.
It is obvious that Allen Iverson and Francis have just joined.
This situation is unfavorable for the Rockets.
There is no need to play like this in a game that can easily win.
Larry Brown on the other side was also a little dissatisfied.
Allen Iverson's fight like this completely destroyed the defensive tactics he arranged during the break.
This led to the 76ers not being able to limit the Rockets' scoring.
It can be said that the actions of both coaches were not very satisfied.
"Beep!"
The 76ers called for a timeout.
As a backward side, Larry Brown must calm down Allen Iverson as soon as possible.
Allen Iverson just returned to the bench, and Larry Brown said, "Iverson, don't fight like this. Fight according to the tactics I ordered."
But Allen Iverson was a little dismissive.
During the time when he and Francis were fighting one-on-one, the 76ers narrowed the gap several points.
He looked at Larry Brown with his neck tilted and said in a deep voice: "Coach, I will win this game."
The meaning of this is very simple.
I care about the tactics you arranged. If I can lead the team to win, it’s all!
When Larry Brown heard this, his face turned red with anger.
You don’t fight according to my tactics. You just asked me to set up tactics for you in the locker room?!
What about playing with me?!
On the other side, there was indeed a completely different scene.
Han Ning stared at Francis tightly, keeping him staring at Francis a little embarrassed.
"Boss, I..." Francis was about to say something, but was interrupted by Han Ning.
"Francis, if you want to fight one-on-one, wait until the game is over. Let's win the game first."
Francis nodded after hearing this.
He was very convinced of Han Ning.
At the same time, he also knew how much pressure Han Ning and the Rockets are facing now.
Fifteen consecutive wins are not an easy thing.
Chapter completed!
