Another important reason why Li Fei and Iverson were playing at the same time was that Iverson could help Li Fei attract the attention of the vast majority of the defense.
It gave Li Fei more space and opportunities to attack. To put it bluntly, Iverson was helping Li Fei.
Popovich might have expected that Larry Brown would definitely get on Li Fei in the remaining two minutes.
He also made a corresponding countermeasure and brought on Avery Johnson, a point guard with a height of 178.
He hoped that he would not lose to Li Fei in terms of speed.
In the end, Larry Brown didn't play according to common sense and still left Iverson on the field.
Iverson held the ball and crossed the half court. Seeing that Li Fei was still entangled with John, he chose to make a move himself.
After breaking in, Iverson faced the Spurs 'substitute inside player and easily made a layup.
However, the Spurs 'nightmare had just begun.
As soon as the ball was sent out from the backfield, Iverson and Li Fei quickly arrived in front of John Xun and double-teamed him.
John held the basketball tightly with one hand and signaled to the referee with the other hand for a time-out.
"Larry Brown is bullying people. He wants to use Li Fei and Iverson's stealing ability to make the Spurs unable to get past half the court!”
said Kenny Smith with great interest.
"Why don't you say that the Spurs are bullying the Sixers in the paint? Wasn't the duo of Duncan and David Robson amazing?”
Charles Barkley immediately retorted.
"That's not what I meant! No matter what, you have to wait for the other side to pass the half before double-teaming! This was the Spurs 'home ground, so they had to give them some face!”
Ken Smith explained to Barkley.
"You have to rely on yourself to gain face! I didn't rely on others to give it to me!"
Barkley said to Kenny Smith unhappily.
Barkley's fame was built on the field, unlike commentary like Kenny Smith.
Just as the two of them were arguing, the match continued.
The Spurs sent the ball to the front court.
Faced with the two small defenders of the Sixers, the Spurs decisively let Terry serve, and John Xun went around to receive the ball through the cover of the big man.
As soon as John received the ball, Iverson and Li Fei once again surrounded John, not giving him a chance to get the ball out.
This was also what Iverson liked to do the most after he got Li Fei.
They could surround others, but if they wanted to surround Iverson, Iverson would have already left before they could surround him.
John Xun had no words to say. Since he couldn't get the ball out, he wanted to hit the ball on Li Fei's foot and let the ball roll out of the sidelines before he could serve again.
However, just as he raised his hand, Li Fei's big hand had already slapped the ball.
Iverson caught the ball and threw it forward without even looking at it.
"F * ck! Can't you move slower?"
Li Fei roared and chased after the basketball.
"I'm doing this for your own good. I'm letting you break through your limit speed!”
Iverson stood still and shouted at Li Fei.
Fortunately, when Li Fei was about to get out of the line, he caught the ball in his hand.
Just as he was about to shoot, Li Fei saw a figure rushing toward him from the backcourt.
Li Fei pretended not to see it and continued to shoot.
When the figure jumped up, Li Fei put the basketball down again.
Shaking John Xun, who had returned in time to defend, Li Fei dribbled the ball to the basket and scored.
He continued to serve the ball from the backfield. John stood at the end line with the ball. After confirming that Li Fei and Iverson had returned to defend, he passed the ball to Terry.
John Xun did not dare to get too far away from Terry after he had finished serving the ball. The two of them maintained a safe distance from beginning to end. If they were to be sandwiched, there was still one person who could go up and receive them.
After half the game, John Xun began to run.
John Xun finally got rid of Li Fei behind him and arrived at his familiar shooting spot.
Terry passed the ball to Li Fei.
"Oh my god! Why did Li Fei appear in Terry's passing route?”
Kenney Smith stood up from his chair and shouted at the screen.
"I'll get the director to cut a replay for you later. Take your time!”
Barkley's eyes were glued to the screen. He wanted to see how the Sixers would end their offense.
Li Fei imitated Iverson and threw the ball toward the front field.
After he was done, Li Fei suddenly shouted,""F * ck! It's too big!"
Then, he quickly rushed out.
Iverson finally caught the ball in the air before it flew out of bounds.
Terry stood in the end line, waiting for Iverson to save the ball, wanting to wait for fatigue.
"Hey! I'm here!"
Li Fei shouted at Iverson.
Iverson threw the basketball in his hand toward the basket. The height of the shot exceeded the height of Terry's interception.
Li Fei jumped up with all his might, then followed Iverson's pass and dunked the ball heavily.
At this moment, other than the squeaking sound of the basketball hoop, no other sound could be heard in the entire att arena.
Even the commentators present shut their mouths at this moment.
After a long time, Larry Brown was the first to speak." It was Iverson just now. If it were any other player! No one should be able to save the ball!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a discordant voice sounded beside Larry Brown." Li Fei might not need to save the ball like that!”
Larry Brown turned his head and looked at Mutumbo, who was trying to sabotage him, and said,""Dicambay! You should be very tired now. You should have a good rest for the next match!”
"Coach! I'm just stating a fact! You can't deprive me of my right to play!”
Mutumbo immediately defended himself.
In the studio, Buckley's hand that was holding the glass of water stopped in mid-air and muttered,""Is he really only 175?"
"Director! I want to see the replay!"
Kenny Smith placed his hands on the table and shouted to the side.
After watching the replay, Kenny Smith finally understood.
It turned out that after Li Fei was blocked by the big player, he had no intention of interfering with John's receiving or shooting.
Li Fei made an even bolder choice. It could be said to be a gamble.
He wanted to cut off the passing line between Terry and John Johnson, which was a gambling tackle.
In the last scene, where Li Fei dunked, Barkley remained motionless with the cup in his hand.
