After experiencing the craziness of the previous few games, Shay seemed to have calmed down today and entered sage mode.

He passed the ball more in this game, took fewer shots, and didn't attack much.

The whole fight was tepid and there didn't seem to be much passion.

The on-site commentators joked: "It seems that this 19-year-old new girlfriend has consumed Shay too much physical energy, hahahahaha."

Of course, in the eyes of Philadelphia fans who have their own filters, Shea's lukewarmness is entirely due to Garnett's defense!

They firmly believe that it was Garnett's invincible defense that put Shay in trouble.

If Garnett's defense can contain Jordan, it can certainly contain Shea!

Iverson is on offense and Garnett is on defense.

There was no way Shai was walking out of Philly alive today!

Just like that, after halftime, the 76ers actually led the Lakers by 5 points!

Iverson scored 16 points at halftime, and it is not completely impossible for him to have 40+ points in six consecutive games.

Moreover, Iverson made 7 of 15 in the half, with a shooting percentage of 46%! In the second half, what kind of iron would Iverson have to be for his shooting percentage to drop below 30%?

Shay can't do it!

Garnett also scored 2 steals and 2 risks in the half. He smiled slightly and beat his chest crazily.

The day when I can feel proud has finally arrived!

When I see Shay in the future, I won’t have to take a detour anymore!

Shay only scored 13 points at halftime, looking like a carbon copy of Jordan before.

Destined to become an upgrade package for the two young men Iverson and Garnett.

If AI could punch Jordan and kick Shay in his rookie season, that would be awesome!

In fact, AI has already reached the sky. At the end of half the game, AI showed off its power in front of the camera:

"In the future, maybe I will be the best guard at Georgetown University, Shay!"

At half the game, the team and individuals fell behind, and were provoked by rookies.

It stands to reason that the situation the Lakers are facing now should be particularly tense.

But when Shay came off the field, he still had a nonchalant expression.

Just like.

Just warming up!

It is indeed a warm-up. Jordan said it right before. If Shea acts like a father and a mother in every game like playing against the Jazz, he will have to kneel down sooner or later in the playoffs.

Even Liu Bip's physical strength couldn't withstand that kind of exertion.

Therefore, Carlisle repeated his old tricks and used a strategy from a few years ago - the hunting method in the third quarter!

Shea can play casually in the first half, as long as he can hold on to the score, and he doesn't need to expend too much physical energy.

But in the third quarter, Shay had to toughen up and take away the game!

This is the most energy-saving way to play!

Shea also accepted Carlisle's arrangement, so he deliberately said, "Letting Iverson play half court can limit his shooting percentage to no more than 30%."

Because in the second half, Shay will meet his godson in person!

At this time, Philadelphia on-site commentator Mark Zumov was very excited:

"As of now, AI may really be able to score six consecutive 40+ games tonight and give Shea his first loss of the season!

His condition today is so good. Shea wants to limit the AI's hit rate to less than 30%. It is simply a fantasy!

Under such circumstances, will Shay still have the courage to defend AI in the second half?

After all, if he defended Iverson in the second half, he would have no excuses!"

Philadelphia fans were very confident, and even Jordan, who was watching TV, became excited.

If Shay also loses to AI in this game

I'm not the only one embarrassed!

As the saying goes, the status of an alliance depends entirely on the support of peers.

If everyone lost to Iverson, that means no one lost!

After the start of the second half, Iverson once again controlled the ball confidently for half of the game.

Then people also discovered that Shea still followed what he said before, letting AI go after halftime and then started to defend Iverson!

He did not escape, but continued to face the extremely outstanding AI!

Mark Zumov nodded approvingly, well, at least Shay dared to face it and was a real man.

Iverson is also more focused. He certainly knows how difficult it is to beat Shay.

But now that we are all NAB players, nothing is impossible!

Let him repeat his old trick, trying to pass Shay with a beautiful crossover.

But Shay knows Iverson too well, and he knows this trick of AI very well.

Therefore, Shea did not move his center of gravity for the first time. When Iverson changed direction, Shea quickly moved laterally, blocked Iverson's breakthrough route, and started to steal!

Shay is like a cold-blooded apex predator, waiting to see what happens. If he doesn't move, he will be killed. If he moves, the opponent will die on the spot!

No defensive action is redundant!

Sure enough, Shea's hand knocked the basketball away. Not only did Iverson fail to pass Shea, he was almost intercepted by Shea!

Fortunately, the AI ​​reacted in time. After the ball dropped, he immediately hugged the ball with both hands, and then Iverson quickly passed the ball to his teammates.

After a lot of bumps and bruises, Iverson finally kept the ball. But the first meeting between the two sides today made AI's heart beat faster.

Shay's defense is truly terrifying!

Iverson was actually forced to pass the ball, which surprised the Philadelphia fans at the scene.

After all, in all previous games, including the one against the Bulls, the AI ​​could be said to have done whatever it wanted.

But when facing Shay, AI was stuck outside the three-point line.

this.

Is Shea's defense really unstoppable?

Soon, Iverson returned to the top of the three-point arc to catch the ball.

Shea immediately followed up, and Iverson had to back up to separate Shea to protect the basketball.

After leaning against Shay for a moment, Iverson suddenly turned around and faced the frame, preparing to break through.

As a result, as soon as Iverson hit the ball, Shea immediately made a precise grab and stole the basketball from AI's hand!

Fans throughout the Wells Fargo Center had their eyes widened.

Damn it.

The super genius who dazzled Jordan, played with Finley, used gorgeous dribbling skills to break through every opponent and scored 40+ points in five consecutive games.

He couldn't dribble the ball in front of Shay!

After facing the frame, I didn't succeed in the last step, so I was immediately stopped by Shay!

What a terrible defense this is!

Shay's absolute defense left Iverson stunned.

And when he was stunned, Shay had already passed by him.

Shay counterattacked directly after stealing the ball, pushing away Garnett who was chasing him from his side, and then scored with a one-handed dunk.

After the goal, Shea excitedly shouted to Iverson:

"It's too easy, there's no difficulty at all! Didn't you say that you are different from Xia Tian? Be reckless and show some performance that excites me!"

If an ordinary rookie is guarded like this twice by Shay, his confidence will probably be gone.

But AI is different, he is a fighter.

So after a brief daze, Iverson immediately regained his morale and resumed the attack!

He knows that Shay has a strong steal ability, after all, he is the two-time steal champion.

Moreover, Shay's long arms coupled with his incredible stealth anticipation and reaction really caught people off guard.

But no matter how strong Shay's stealing ability is, he can't intercept the ball every round, right?

You still have a chance!

AI did not hold the ball this time, but planned to get rid of Shay first by running without the ball.

When Iverson ran to the corner on the right, he saw that he was already one step ahead of Shea, so he raised his hand to ask for the ball.
