Chapter 845

"Double Four Great Shooting Guards" vs. "OD combination."

Just thinking about it, you know how exciting such a duel is.

On the 76ers' side.

Iverson and McGrady are both men born for the playoffs and big scenes; the more critical the moment, the more time they need to stand up and score.

They are always able to use their super personal ability to force a score.

This is the ability of the "double Four Great Shooting Guards" who are in their prime.

On the Heat's side.

As long as "Big Shark" O'Neal gets the ball under the basket, he has absolute dominance.

Let him attack and he will definitely be able to put the ball in.

Of course... the opponent is not stupid, so O'Neal is often pushed to the free-throw line.

Very mediocre free throws gave the opponent a certain opportunity, but in general, O'Neal's dominance under the basket and his defensive ability are still very domineering.

And "Flash" Wade... although he is only in his second year, he played really well in the playoffs this year.

In the first two rounds of the game, he averaged 30+ points.

In addition.

Assists, steals, blocks, three data points blossomed in all directions.

Able to attack, able to connect teammates, and has amazing defensive ability, especially his blocking ability, which can be said to be second only to Su Yan among guards.

He is one of the few guards in the league with extremely strong blocking ability.

The duel between these two combinations is like Mars hitting the Earth, and it has been in a white-hot state from the first attack of the game.

Good to watch.

Such a duel is truly good to the extreme.

And just as fans guessed very early, this year's playoffs will only look good until the conference semifinals.

And once there is a strong duel, every game will be like a preview of the finals.

Now in the conference semifinals, the duel between the Heat and the 76ers has this feeling.

"Swish!"

Iverson's signature is a lightning-fast crossover, shaking off Damon Jones, and rushing into the basket from the right.

Facing the old opponent O'Neal guarding the basket, he is not panicked at all, grabs the ball and flies up, dodges in the air, lays it up... and hits.

McGrady takes the ball at the top of the right arc, facing Eddie Jones' defense.

Continuous back-dribbling, stylish and simple, the moment he takes the ball with his right hand, he kicks the ground as if to break through, but actually suddenly pulls up.

"It's a pull-up!!!"

Eddie Jones knew that McGrady's breakthrough was just a fake, but he still fell for it.

Because... when you really don't defend, McGrady, who has the fastest first step in the league.

He can pass him in an instant, rush into the basket, and end the attack with a dunk.

And the moment you retreat, he will pull up over your head again.

Able to break through and shoot.

During the scoring champion period, McGrady in his prime interpreted this word to the extreme.

The moment he pulls up, whether it goes in or not has nothing to do with the defender.

This ball?!

"Swish!"

Hollow hit.

The offense of the double Four Great Shooting Guards is full of characteristics, highly ornamental, but really unsolvable.

However.

The Heat's "OD combination" is not to be outdone.

Wade first breaks through on the right, stops and pulls back between his legs, shoots, and ends the attack.

Immediately after.

Lightning breakthrough on the left, throws off the first line of defense and rushes into the restricted area, suddenly makes a gorgeous turn when facing the supplementary defense, and after passing the defense.

Grabs the ball and jumps up, a two-handed heavy dunk, ending the attack.

For an ordinary guard, being able to put the ball into the basket after such a turn is already quite remarkable.

Wade can not only pass the opponent but also end the attack with a dunk under the third layer of defense.

This physical fitness, jumping ability, and explosive ability are quite terrifying.

This is also the reason why second-year Wade can play so well.

In addition to the strong attack under talent.

"Lost Step" is also one of his signatures, and even top defenders like "Wolf King" Garnett were shaken by his "Lost Step" and couldn't find north.

Wade's offensive skill is also very strong.

And "Big Shark" O'Neal's offense, ordinary people would think that O'Neal is also pure talent, crushing opponents, and dunking on the opponent's head.

But.

O'Neal, in addition to talent suppression.

His footwork, his hook shots, etc.

O'Neal under the basket is also full of skill, enough physical talent + solid technical footwork, which created the giant under the basket!!!

Only then did he achieve one of the most dominant centers in history.

"Double Four Great Shooting Guards" vs. "OD combination."

Every duel is a fierce battle, and all of them won the game at their own home court.

The two teams were tied 3:3 in the first 6 games.

The game went to a Game 7 as expected.

Because... the strength of the two teams really didn't look like there was much difference.

Or rather... the Bulls, 76ers, and Heat in the East, all three teams are strong to the extreme, all possessing similar and unique strength.

No matter who meets whom among these three teams, it may be a preview of the Eastern Conference Finals, or even a duel at the finals level.

Good to watch.

Super exciting.

The Game 7 also pulled the heat to the full.

And even in Game 7, the two teams were still evenly matched, still holding the game until the last three minutes.

Final decisive moment.

In previous games, either Iverson exploded, or McGrady exploded, or both exploded at the same time.

There is always a superstar who explodes, which is why the 76ers have a strong will.

And the Heat are the same.

Wade and O'Neal always have someone who can stand up and solve the problem.

And on the night of Game 7, Iverson and McGrady exploded again, and Wade and O'Neal were not to be outdone.

But.

Decisive moment.

When O'Neal held the ball to attack, the 76ers decisively committed a tactical foul on him, performing... "Hack-a-Shaq."

O'Neal was pushed to the free-throw line, and often made one of two, or even missed both.

This is O'Neal's free-throw level; he never thought about changing his free-throw ability, which is one of the reasons why he and Kobe would have conflicts.

But at the last moment.

When I knew the 76ers were going to commit a tactical foul on O'Neal, I tried my best not to let O'Neal take the ball and attack actively.

Instead, let him play secondary offense by protecting the frame.

The main attacking player is given to "Flash" Wade.

And the moment you admit defeat... the opponent has a certain initiative.

"Double Four Great Shooting Guards" vs. "Flash" Wade.

Such a big-hearted duel.
