Chapter 119 Tit for Tat! Playing as a Point Guard in the Second Half?

On the stadium.

Jiang Chen was also very excited after scoring the goal.

[Hanamiya Steal] This skill is really useful, and it triggers a 40% steal probability when used for the first time.

This luck is simply too good.

While returning to defense, he performed Iverson's classic celebration move, putting one hand next to his ear, as if wanting to hear the fans' excited roar.

It's a pity that this is an away game.

He was greeted only with disdainful boos.

Jiang Chen didn't care about this. He would eventually become the silencer of this stadium and make everyone shut up.

Iverson looked ugly and even a little angry.

After stealing the ball, he made a long three-pointer and celebrated with his own celebration moves.

This is simply a naked provocation!

Is this tolerable?

The arrogant and aggressive Iverson once again took the initiative to ask for the ball, and used the call-and-roll tactic with Anthony, letting Jiang Chen defend him.

"It seems that passing me is not as easy as crossing the road in the early morning."

"In my eyes, you are just like an old man who has trouble crossing the road. How can you think of me?"

Jiang Chen said provocatively.

This was part of his struggle with Iverson and it was unavoidable.

Only in this way will the competition between the two become more intense.

"Boy, I'll make you regret saying these words."

Iverson said with a gloomy expression, dribbling faster and faster, ready to break through.

"Where are you going to break through this time? Aren't you going to tell me?"

Jiang Chen said with a grin, looking very arrogant.

He wanted to stimulate Iverson's emotions.

Dribble, break through, change direction!

Iverson lowered his center of gravity to the extreme and broke through into the penalty area from the right.

Right at this moment.

Bang!

A crisp sound of ball hitting was heard.

Jiang Chen activated the [Hanamiya Steal] skill and intercepted the basketball again.

"WTF?"

Iverson was shocked again, his scalp was tingling, and the headband on his head slipped down a bit.

I was cut off again?

This is really outrageous!

How is it possible to be intercepted twice in two consecutive rounds?

This is simply impossible to happen!

Besides being shocked.

Jiang Chen had completed the fast break and easily made another three-pointer.

The whole audience was in an uproar.

The audience looked at Iverson on the court with concern, wondering if Iverson was not in good form tonight, otherwise how could he be intercepted twice in a row by a young player?

"Another...steal."

Van Gundy said in astonishment, then looked embarrassed.

Iverson really doesn't give me face.

I had just said that I hoped Jiang Chen's steal was a coincidence, but less than a minute later, Iverson was intercepted again.

Could this be a coincidence?

"Oh my God! Jiang Chen is really possessed by the god of steals!"

"To steal the ball from Iverson twice in a row, that's really rare."

Barkley was so excited that he couldn't contain himself.

Who dares to define Jiang Chen as just a pure scorer?

Isn't his defensive ability strong?

"Now I can only say that I hope Iverson will fight back! Being intercepted twice in a row by a young player, this news alone can make the headlines in today's NBA."

Van Gundy said somewhat helplessly.

Nuggets' offensive round.

After Iverson dribbled across half court, he no longer used the calling tactic, and he found it difficult to accept the continuous interceptions.

Although he was not convinced, he was not reckless.

The team is currently trailing by a lot of points, so catching up is the top priority.

Little did he know that even if he challenged Jiang Chen again, Jiang Chen would not be able to steal the ball from him again. After all, the skill of [Hanamiya Steal] only had a 40% chance of stealing the ball, and he couldn't be so lucky every time.

Iverson waved to Martin in the restricted area, and after a high-post pick-and-roll, he broke into the restricted area and passed the ball to Martin who was following up.

Bynum failed to make up for the defense in time, resulting in Martin making an easy layup.

The two sides continued to engage in confrontation.

With the performance of Jiang Chen and Kobe, the Lakers firmly suppressed the Nuggets.

The first quarter is over.

35:26.

The Lakers gained a 9-point advantage.

The second quarter begins.

Both sides have substitute lineups.

The Lakers have a great player named Odom on the bench.

The Nuggets' bench is not much behind, with the "nervous" JR Smith.

Both of them are very strong role players. They kept competing against each other in the game and neither of them gave in.

It took nearly half a quarter for both sides to replace their main lineups.

As soon as Iverson came on the court, he made consecutive breakthroughs and layups.

When not facing Jiang Chen's defense, Iverson is still the super scorer who is killing all around.

Kobe was not far behind, and he started a scoring competition with his old rival, and occasionally assisted Jiang Chen to make a three-pointer.

Anthony gradually came out of the slump in the first quarter, hitting an open three-pointer and a successful back-to-the-basket single, scoring consecutively.

But he was still intercepted twice by Jiang Chen.

When Jiang Chen started stealing the ball from Iverson, Nuggets head coach George Karl was still able to sit back and relax, not taking it seriously.

But when Jiang Chen started stealing the ball from Anthony again, George Karl couldn't sit still.

He stood up and roared towards the court: "Guys, be careful and don't let this Chinese player steal the ball again. Look how many points you lost due to mistakes! If it weren't for these mistakes, we should be in the lead now!"

Anthony felt the coach's anger and nodded repeatedly, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Why does it feel like this Chinese player has become even stronger than when they played against each other at the Olympics?

Especially on the defensive end, this stealing ability is too strong!

After being scolded by the coach, Anthony began to touch the ball less and play without the ball more often.

Iverson began to lead the team's offense, becoming more and more confident as the game went on, scoring 20 points in a single quarter and helping the team narrow the score.

The first half of the game is over.

63:59.

The Nuggets narrowed the gap to 4 points.

Iverson scored 26 points in the first half.

Anthony was slightly less efficient, but also scored 16 points.

Lakers side.

Jiang Chen made 10 of 15 shots in the first half, 6 of 9 three-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 29 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 4 steals.

Kobe also played well, making 6 of 13 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws, scoring 19 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists.

Lakers locker room.

"Guys, our physical strength will be depleted faster due to altitude sickness. In the fourth quarter, physical strength will be a big problem, so we must try to end the suspense of the game in the third quarter!"

Phil Jackson tapped his forehead and said with a frown.

"Odom, you start in the second half and go to the small forward position against Anthony."

"Jiang Chen, you should switch to point guard and defend Iverson!"
