Chapter 847
The duel between "No. 1 active shooting guard" vs. "double Four Great Shooting Guards."
Everyone is looking forward to this too much.
Three days.
Passed in the anticipation of countless fans.
8:00 PM.
United Center.
There is still an hour before the Eastern Conference Finals, but looking at any place in the auditorium, it is impossible to see an empty seat.
Full.
It was full early on.
Everyone wanted to watch the duel between Su Yan and Iverson and McGrady in the playoffs too much.
Before the game.
Coach Skiles exhorted: "Philadelphia has two strong points... Iverson and McGrady.
Both of these people have too strong personal strength.
Except for Su Yan... no player should think about using one-on-one to beat them.
On the defensive end, if there is an opportunity, you must double-team.
Don't give them too much breathing room and easy offensive opportunities; once both explode, it will be devastating!"
"Understood, coach!"
Yao nodded repeatedly.
Iguodala showed a look of doubt and asked: "Coach, we clearly beat the Philadelphia 76ers in the regular season, and it didn't look that difficult.
Why do we need to pay so much attention now?!"
"Good question!"
Coach Skiles smiled: "Because... Iverson and McGrady are both players born for big scenes; the playoffs with higher intensity and fiercer confrontation are the stage where they truly show their skills.
In the playoffs... they will play better than in the regular season and have a stronger impact on the opponent!
Once these two are in hot state, they will become difficult to contain!
This feeling is the same as when Su Yan plays with all his might and no one can stop him!"
"Oh, oh!"
Iguodala responded repeatedly, and now he understood.
The Bulls are the defending champions, their strength is not bad, but they take the 76ers team seriously.
This will make them more calm and steady in the series.
Looking at Philadelphia.
Iverson and McGrady also crushed their opponents all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals, and neither has won a championship in their career so far.
Both know how strong each other's strength is and know how fierce the power of the two combined is.
Now.
Both have greater certainty about winning the championship, and their eyes are burning... looking forward to the moment of lifting the championship trophy.
This burning desire to win the championship makes their desire to fight also increase rapidly.
Eastern Conference Finals, and even the finals, they are determined to win.
In short.
Both teams have a very strong desire to win and have absolute self-confidence in winning the series.
This determines that the Eastern Conference Finals will be exciting to the extreme.
"Boom!"
Under the endless cheers in the arena, under the attention and anticipation of everyone, the warm-up time finally ended, and the starters from both sides began to take the court.
Game one of the Eastern Conference Finals... officially arrived.
Chicago Bulls starters: PG: Hinrich, SG: Su Yan, SF: Iguodala, PF: Chandler, C: Yao.
Philadelphia 76ers starters: PG: Iverson, SG: McGrady, SF: Corliss Williamson, PF: Kenny Thomas, C: Samuel Dalembert.
"Jump ball!"
The jump ball between Yao and Dalembert.
"Pa!"
Yao still has an absolute height advantage, although he doesn't jump that high, he tipped the basketball away before Dalembert jumped completely.
Hinrich caught it.
Gave it to Su Yan to push forward, executing the first attack of the whole game for the Bulls.
Pushed to the top of the right arc, facing Iverson who rushed up very fiercely, he didn't even look at him.
One step of acceleration gave him a confrontation, not very heavy, but Iverson's body, which was weak and vulnerable in front of Su Yan, retreated again and again.
Su Yan stopped, took a step back, came outside the three-point line, and further widened the distance between the two.
"Wow!"
Raised his hand for a three-pointer.
Piercing the willow with a hundred steps.
Hollow hit.
Su Yan came up with an unreasonable three-pointer, shooting in Iverson's face, sounding the opening of the Eastern Conference Finals series for the Bulls.
Transition offense.
Iverson pushed the ball across the half-court, came to his favorite right side, and faced Hinrich's defense at the top of the arc.
Continuous butterfly-piercing dribbles, super-fast dribbling, made Hinrich dazzled, although he focused very hard on defense.
But the moment Iverson started to accelerate, he panicked and couldn't follow up in the first time.
Then Iverson passed him in one step, rushed into the basket, facing Chandler who came to supplement, not panicked at all.
Grabbed the ball, pulled up for a layup, and hit it steadily.
Attacking in the forest of big men, Iverson was already used to it, and he was familiar with it; as long as he was allowed to rush in, he had too many ways to put the basketball into the basket.
The last round.
McGrady also used a very simple and efficient pull-up, hitting over Iguodala's head, a very elegant jump shot.
Iguodala defended very seriously, but McGrady at this period, as long as his feel was slightly hot, really couldn't be defended.
Iverson and McGrady, "double Four Great Shooting Guards" blossomed on both sides, entering the state from the beginning... as if unstoppable.
However.
Su Yan of the Bulls team was also unstoppable, and the situation was just as the pre-game commentary and fans expected.
Su Yan and the "double Four Great Shooting Guards" conducted a mutual offensive explosion, pulling the ornamental value of the game to an All-Star game level height.
"Good to watch, good to watch!"
"Too burning!"
