NBA: Miracle Workers

Chapter 2 The crude talent system
Allen Iverson hated three-pointers very much after entering college. This is indeed related to Li You and Ray Allen.

In the few games I played against during my freshman year, many of them were inexplicably reversed in the second half.

At 60:52, UConn fans cheered loudly in Madison Square Garden after Li You made a conversion three-pointer.

Painful memories came to mind, and Iverson took the baseline ball and wanted to speed up, but the head coach John Thompson on the sidelines yelled for everyone to hold on.

With 3 minutes and 40 seconds left in the game, Georgetown still leads by 8 points. As long as they score 2 points steadily in this round, the point difference will still return to double digits.

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

It was the turn of UConn fans to shout loudly, and everyone saw the hope of tying the difference.

Pressing the rhythm, Iverson, with the ball in his right hand, dribbled steadily across the half.

At this time, Connecticut's junior guard Dorrent Marshall and Li You pressed the opponent's backcourt together, and the other three controlled the position and stood in the offline zone defense.

Ray Allen was still a little anxious, and kept loudly reminding his teammates on the inside to pay attention to Iverson's breakthrough. They have been unable to solve this tonight.

Li You, who had been guarding against Iverson's right hand all the time, maintained his body's center of gravity and did not rush up to grab. He just reached out to interfere from time to time, trying to disrupt the opponent's dribbling rhythm.

Seeing that his teammates were strictly prevented from receiving the ball, on the right flank, Iverson sideways protected the ball and at the same time signaled Jerome Williams inside to come out to respond.

Li You immediately realized that the opponent was going to play high and low positions again, trying to make the center attack in low positions.

When receiving a pass from Jerome Williams at the free throw line, Li You turned his head and reminded his teammates loudly:
"Team inside!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity to send a lob pass, Georgetown's big center Aosta Tiger just received the ball, and Kirk King, who followed the defense to the free throw line, immediately gave up the defender when he heard the reminder, turned around and rushed to the inside.

Under the double-teaming of Travis Knight and Kirk King, the black fat man Aosta Tiger could only struggle to protect the ball.

Although the 2-meter Travis Knight is a big white man with a thin body, he showed a tough defensive attitude at this time. He is eager for the championship!

The double-team almost caused the opponent to make a mistake. Seeing the ball return to Jerome Williams, the University of Connecticut fans let out a low cry of disappointment.

Going in and out, Georgetown passed the ball several times to waste time. When the attack time was close to 30 seconds, Iverson took over again at the top of the arc.

There was no extra shaking after receiving the ball. Iverson raised the center of gravity slightly after putting the ball with his right hand, and then suddenly pressed his shoulders to force a breakthrough.

Faced with such a strong flying posture close to the ground, Li You could only curse inwardly for his talent, and then slid desperately to the left rear.

Iverson passed Li You in one step, broke into the paint and was immediately assisted by center Travis Knight.

With the two forced to take off, Iverson made a fake pass and almost handed the ball to the black fat man Aosta Tiger in the basket.

The latter received the pass and put the basket down, but he didn't expect that Ray Allen had already rushed into the inside line at this time, jumped up high, and sent a big block behind his head!
"Oh!"

The Georgetown fans who were still cheering followed with an exclamation. After the ball rebounded, Ray Allen took control of the ball and immediately threw the ball forward.

Li You immediately rushed to the opponent's half. While catching the ball with his left hand, Iverson chased him to his side with his extraordinary speed.

Iverson continued to give physical confrontation, and at the same time there was a pulling movement on his hands. The two entangled and rushed to the basket, and the players from the two teams behind them also rushed forward.

When he came to the paint area, Li You first used his body to push Iverson away, then jumped quickly, grabbed the ball with one hand with his left hand, and leaned forward to pick the basket.

Iverson, who had lost his defensive position, relied on his excellent bullet speed to serve first, hit Li You, and blocked the shot with his right hand.

Fighting in the air, both of them lost their center of gravity and fell to the bottom right of the basket together. The ball bounced twice on the basket and finally knocked out of the frame.

Li You, who fell on the floor, once again cursed the talent of the devil, and then saw Ray Allen, who followed up the fast break, grabbed the rebound and was surrounded by everyone in Georgetown.

Standing up hastily, Li You pushed Iverson away from him, and quickly ran to the left flank beyond the three-point line.

Iverson, who had just stood up, staggered and almost rushed to the street again. He didn't care about complaining, and tried his best to catch up again.

Ray Allen saw Li You running beyond the three-point line and immediately threw the ball vigorously. Iverson already felt that something was wrong, and immediately jumped high before approaching the three-point line.

At the same time, Li You, who received the pass, quickly turned around outside the three-point line, without making any adjustments, and just threw the ball!
"Shua!" The three-pointer hit the net hollowly!

The moment the ball fell into the basket, Madison Square Garden was completely blown up. The fans of the University of Connecticut shouted excitedly, and the fun fans also cheered.

"Champion? Go dream!"

Iverson with an ugly face heard Li You's loud ridicule, and couldn't stand it any longer. The two began to speak in a civilized manner, and Farke kept on talking.

Coach John Thompson requested the last timeout. The curly-haired black coach looked very ugly, 60:55, and the point difference was only 5 points.

With 2 minutes and 56 seconds left in the game, coach Jim Calhoun squatted on the sidelines and yelled to remind his players:
"Shoot decisively, time is not on our side, we need to score quickly at this time, believe in your shots!"

Noticing the head coach's eyes, the game only rested for less than 2 minutes and Ray Allen nodded vigorously.

Before going on the field, head coach Jim Calhoun patted Li You on the shoulder, saying everything without saying a word, let go and throw it away!
The cacophony of voices at Madison Square Garden suggested that Georgetown fans were starting to panic.

Returning to the field, under the control of Iverson, Georgetown strictly implemented the tactical arrangement, and it took another 30 seconds.
The defense was constantly pulled, but there was never a good opportunity.

In the end, the black fat man Aosta Tiger made a strong low on the left side, was interfered by Travis Knight, and the ball knocked out of the basket again.

Taking advantage of the situation to protect the rebound, Travis Knight hurriedly gave the ball to Li You.

2 minutes and 21 seconds, time is running out.

Iverson, who was anxious in his heart, tried his best to interfere at this time.

Under the body search and defense, Li You first changed direction with his crotch, then accelerated immediately after switching to his right hand, turned around quickly while walking, and then dribbled across the center line with his buttocks pouted.

Coming to the left flank beyond the three-point line, Li You once again protected the ball sideways. On the right side near the baseline, Ray Allen quickly bounced out.

In the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, center Travis Knight's screen successfully delayed Victor Page's pursuit.

At the top of the arc, Ray Allen received a cross pass from Li You, without any hesitation, he quickly shot a jumper!
"Shua!" Another three-pointer was scored!

The University of Connecticut fans at the scene were already crazy, and everyone shouted, and the head coach Jim Calhoun jumped up and threw his fists in celebration.

60:58, there are 2 minutes and 07 seconds left in the game.

Everyone in Georgetown was a little dazed, watching the roaring Ray Allen and Li You clap their hands in celebration, and all looked at the head coach for a while.

At this time, John Thompson finally stopped insisting on those rigid tactics, and made tactical gestures, indicating to give the ball to Iverson.
In the next three rounds, Iverson stopped for a jumper and hit the iron, Ray Allen missed a breakthrough throw, and Iverson took the pot and broke through for a layup and knocked out of the frame.

Everyone under the basket scrambled into a ball, and finally Kirk King made a difficult protection and got a backcourt rebound.

With 46 seconds left in the game and UConn still trailing by 2 points, all Georgetown fans stood up and yelled loudly:

"Defense! Defense! Defense!"

Madison Square Garden was completely boiling, and Iverson, who was retreating, kept clapping his hands to encourage his teammates.

Quickly passed halftime, Li You did not press the time, he hoped to score as soon as possible.

The same zipper screen tactic, let Ray Allen receive the ball, the elbow screen on the right side of the free throw line was squeezed, and Ray Allen was double-teamed.

At the top of the arc, Li You resumed receiving the ball and used the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line to cover. Ray Allen, who bounced again, finally got a chance.

The moment he received the pass, he immediately released the ball with his left hand and made a breakthrough. Ray Allen passed Victor Page who was chasing up in one step.

At this time, guard George Butler immediately assisted in defending the basket, and the fat black Austa Tiger also slid quickly.

Under the double-teaming of the two, Ray Allen, who was close to the paint area, immediately distributed the ball to Dorrent Marshall, who was unguarded in the left corner.

The moment he received the pass, the junior guard, who was selected to the All-Big East team last season, hesitated.

As a result, George Butler went out again, and the open space was fleeting.
After tossing around, the attack time was only the last 5 seconds, and Li You took over from the left flank again at this time.

At the moment of receiving the ball, Iverson immediately put up the defense. Li You lowered his center of gravity under the search and defense, and quickly dribbled the ball behind his back while putting the ball with his left hand.

Immediately after switching to the right hand, he stepped back horizontally with his feet, twisted his body, hung on Iverson's arm, and forced a jump shot from outside the three-point line!
The sound of the timer sounded, the ball drew a huge arc, and finally went into the net hollow!
"Oh!!"

The fans of the University of Connecticut jumped up and shouted, and the cheerleading girls under the basketball stand also hugged and cheered loudly.

The Georgetown fans who were celebrating just a second ago all put their heads in their hands, and the sideline coach Jim Calhoun almost rushed into the field with excitement, calmed down and shouted to remind everyone to retreat quickly.

At 60:61, with 11 seconds left in the game, the University of Connecticut finally overtook the score.

Li You and Iverson, who had lost their center of gravity, got up from the floor at the same time. After Iverson took the baseline ball, Li You immediately stepped forward to lead the defense.

There was no smiling face at all, Iverson gritted his teeth and continued to accelerate with his right hand holding the ball. At the last moment of the game, he was still full of energy
He dribbled across the half court in less than 6 seconds, and quickly approached the right flank outside the three-point line. Iverson immediately stopped suddenly. With Li You strictly guarding his right hand, he suddenly dribbled the ball under the crotch on the three-point line.

Immediately after switching to the left hand, Iverson accelerated laterally, and Iverson suddenly stopped and started, causing Li You, who was put on defense, to lose half of his body.

In the Madison Square Garden arena, all the audience stood up and shouted excitedly unconsciously. Many people were expecting the famous Iverson to save the team at the last moment.
Coming to the free throw line, the attack time was running out, Iverson immediately stopped, then drifted to the left, and made a cool jumper!
At the moment of the shot, Iverson smiled, but when the ball came out of his hand, he was scratched by the tip of Li You's right finger who jumped up from the side to block the shot.

After landing, Iverson's smile froze, and the final buzz sounded, the ball hit the front of the basket and bounced, and finally fell out of the basket.
"what!!"

The University of Connecticut fans at the scene roared wildly, and everyone jumped up and down in their seats.

On the other side, the fans in Georgetown were already dumbfounded. They stared at the scoreboard with straight eyes. The champion flew away?

"Fack, where is your champion?"

Li You, who had been aggrieved for the whole game, laughed and mocked Iverson in front of him.

Iverson, who missed the lore, just came back to his senses, and when he heard Li You's shout, he broke his defense instantly, and rushed forward with a curse.

"Fake squid!"

Under the scuffle between the two, Iverson, who was at a disadvantage in height, immediately received two old punches from Li You in the face, his head was a little dazed, and he stepped back and fell to the ground.

The black fat man Aosta Tiger saw Iverson fell, and immediately rushed up from the basket.

At the same time, the people in Connecticut, who were still raising their hands and celebrating, also realized that something was wrong, and they all rushed to Li You's side.

Before some fans could react, the players from both sides had scuffled together.

The New York Lezi fans were all crazy at this time. While shouting, they also threw their drinks into the center of the venue.

Scolding, cheering, and the referee's hurried whistle rang through Madison Square Garden.
In this high-profile Big East championship game, players from both sides exited in a bit of a mess.

The difference is that everyone at the University of Connecticut who bounced out of the field had a smug smile on their faces;
Everyone in Georgetown had long faces, and the star player Allen Iverson was even cursing, and he didn't forget to raise his middle finger in the direction of the University of Connecticut when he walked to the player tunnel.
"It's been a really good championship game and I don't know how far UConn can go this year."

"I like Lee's performance tonight. He played 24 minutes, 9 of 5, 5 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, 13 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 turnover. Those scouts with prejudice should watch this game. Basketball has nothing to do with skin color."

Sean Macdonald didn't watch Li You's games much, but he was the first to voice his support.

Dill Vital, as a senior college basketball commentator, knows the difference between the NCAA and the NBA. The bald commentator sighed:
"Basketball needs more than talent. I hope that excellent players can get a fair chance to compete."

"."

At this time, Li You, who was back in the locker room, was being cheered by his teammates.

Dorrent Marshall, who threw the pot at the end, had red eyes even more. This handsome white guy in junior year hugged Li You and kept apologizing:
"Lee! It's all my fault! We almost lost the championship!"

Li You didn't care about this. Catching the ball would indeed affect the stats, but if you lose, the stats are meaningless:
"Hey, don't worry about it, we won the championship! That's what matters!"

When everyone heard Li You's words, there was another commotion. Li You, who returned to his seat, couldn't wait to call out the control panel while he was packing his bags with ice.

After loading the system for many years, this is the first championship he has won, and Li You has great expectations for it.

Unable to see clearly what was written on the simple disc on the panel, the disc whirled as soon as Li You moved his mind, and then a prompt popped up soon:
“[Allen Iverson’s excellent touch].”

Li You had a question mark on his face, and tried hard to control his expression. The reward was unclear, but it seemed to be the same as before, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart:
"That's it?!"
