Although Stephen’s declaration on the show was not a direct challenge, he also took over Iverson’s challenge. He lost no loss. In fact, this should be the case. Although Duncan’s response seemed very funny, it was a bit smoother.

This topic has caused a lot of debate, especially Stephen chose to respond in the challenge initiated by Iverson. Although neither of them continued to make a sound, many people believe that this will be a battle between the old super scorer Iverson and the new super scorer Stephen.

Carmelo Anthony, who ranks second in the league in scoring per game this season, second only to Kobe Bryant, the deputy scoring champion, was ignored by them intentionally or unintentionally. This made Carmelo Anthony feel full of anger and made up his mind to show his scoring ability in the game.

After some turmoil, the playoff war will begin to ignite. In the first round of the showdown, the game between the Spurs and the Nuggets received great attention. The reunion of the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Washington Wizards and the master and apprentice of the old Nelson and the young general Johnson will become the three most watched duels.

Before the game started, **Vic did a lot of defensive drills. After the Nuggets traded to Iverson, they have not yet established an effective tactical system. This is because his and Carmelo Anthony's technical style are very unique and have almost no compatibility. When two people are on the court, they can only take turns to play singles.

However, one of the two ended up in the game. Such a Nuggets is a bit dangerous. In the pre-match tactical exercise, **Vic tried the two-point guard combination of Udic and Tony Parker, and wanted to defend Iverson with a faster speed. Otherwise, in the shooting guard position, Michael Finley or Ginobili were a bit taller and too slow.

But after trying, **Vic found out whether the defense effect was good or not, his team's offense was disrupted. When Yudic came on the court, Ginobili was generally doing the distribution of ball rights. In theory, there should be no problem, but Yudic could not be integrated into the team's main lineup tactics, which instead messed up the home team's tactics.

After trying several times and finding that this problem cannot be solved, **Vic decided to give up this plan. Although defense is higher than offense in his mind, he disrupted the offense just because he wanted to improve the defensive effect. He felt that this was not a suitable deal.

However, for Yudic, Vic was completely disappointed. He couldn't fight a little complicated tactic. How could he expect him to be a substitute point guard for Tony Parker? Although his other abilities were quite satisfactory, it was not possible in this regard, which cut off his future in the Spurs.

After this plan failed, **Vicci gave up the idea of ​​changing the lineup and returned to his previous regular lineup. He was originally planning to put Ginobili in the starting lineup, but if the Nuggets could always keep a super player on the court, and their substitute lineup had to be strengthened, let Michael Finley start.

In this way, the two teams formed an uninnovative lineup and entered the game. **Vic once thought about using Stephen to defend Iverson and let Bruce Bowen defend Carmelo Anthony, but Iverson is not Wade. His height is shorter than Wade, and the two are 20 centimeters away. Bruce Bowen's defense against Carmelo Anthony was not good, and **Vic also gave up this idea in the end.

When Stephen and Iverson stood on the court face to face, sparks of fighting flashed in their eyes at the same time, with their heads raised high, same indomitable fighting spirit, same arrogance, and same aura.

If the styles of the two people are different, then Iverson is more rebellious, while Stephen prefers to be a little wild and wild. Seeing Stephen looking at him without any fear, Iverson's mouth showed a habitual smile.

There are many young people who dare to challenge themselves like this. Although there are many new players in the league, they are slowly moving towards their twilight years. It is no longer possible for them to maintain efficient performance of more than 40 minutes in every game throughout the season as before, but in one or several games, they have the confidence to not lose to anyone.

He also knows Stephen's strength, surpassing his rookie scoring record, surpassing Magic Johnson's finals performance, won the best rookie as a second round pick, and won the most valuable player in the finals in the rookie season. The most enviable he also won the championship ring. In his heart, Iverson has regarded Stephen as an opponent of the same level, but the more this happens, Iverson's desire to win and belligerent mentality will become stronger. Only by defeating such an opponent can he prove his ability more.

Although he has won many honors, he still wants to prove that he is still not old and is still the league's leading super scorer. As for Kobe Bryant, he must first ask what he was doing at his peak. He won three championships with O'Neal's thighs. If he led the team alone, his results were not better.

A top player must have this confidence. Iverson does not think that Kobe's scoring ability is better than himself, but because his body has been working too hard in the past few years, those little injuries that are looming torture their nerves from time to time, making him unable to fully display his abilities. However, when he is the most powerful, he is bound by Larry Brown and cannot take action as he pleases.

However, he was a little regretful at this time. He didn't listen to his teachings much at that time. If he had trained more at that time, his body would not have fallen to this level now. However, this kind of thought only flashed through his mind. For him, it would be difficult to have such an emotion. He is a lone man who always moves alone and never regrets his decision.

At the moment when Iverson and Stephen looked at each other, there was a murderous Carmelo Anthony standing next to him. Seeing all his eyes and gazes gathered on Stephen and Iverson, and there was no figure in their eyes at all. How could he, who is also a pride in heaven, bear it?

Although Stephen was looking at Iverson, he was thinking about how to fight against Iverson and Anthony. The team arranged for him to defend Carmelo Anthony and handed Iverson over Michael Finley. He was defensive against Michael Finley. If the opponent was tall and powerful shooting guards, Michael Finley's defense was very effective. Iverson's like this made Stephen very disapproving.

In this regard, Stephen established the principle that he tried his best to reduce Carmelo Anthony's score through his own defense, but on the offensive end, he had to compete with Iverson. To put it simply, the defense suppressed Carmelo Anthony and defeated Iverson in the offense. To do this, it would be no problem to win this game.

With the referee whistle, the first game of the first round of the playoffs this season started in the At&T Center Arena. In the jump ball, Oberto was not as tall as Nene. As the two South American heroes, Brazil and Argentina are both enemies, whether on the football field or the basketball court. When they meet, they will fight to the death. Nene jumped high in the air, covering Oberto under his body like a tall mountain, stretching out his big hand like a palm fan, and racquetted the racket to his teammates.

Steve Blake received the ball from Carmelo Anthony. Before he could take a step, Tony Parker stopped him. Although Blake was taller than Tony Parker, he was lacking in power confrontation. In the duel between the two, he had experienced this countless times.

So Blake didn't dare to get too entangled with Tony Parker. After running forward for less than two steps, he hurriedly passed the ball to Iverson who came to pick up. Iverson was used to holding the ball in his own hands, which was also the reason why he couldn't be a good defender.

After he was eager to come over the ball, he swung easily and bypassed Michael Finley's defense. When he saw Duncan pounce on him, he immediately jumped up and threw the ball into the basket. He was extremely relaxed and neat, without any feeling of being dragged on.

This is his offensive ability. Whether it is shooting, shooting timing, and reading of the defensive side, Iverson is at the top level. His shooting movements are not the most standard, but they are the most suitable for him. When people in the world are attracted by his dazzling dribble, they forget that his shooting is the most threatening.

Stephen was naturally unwilling to score with such an easy shot by his opponent, but he was powerless. Stephen had only one person and could not defend the opponent's five people, so all Stephen could do was to score the same and score as much as he could.

Although Carmelo Anthony standing opposite him, in Stephen's eyes, he seemed to not exist at all. Someone once commented that Carmelo Anthony has top-level offensive ability, but his defense is not even first-class. He has the body to compete with any player of the same level, but lacks the spirit and willingness.

Players at the level of Michael Jordan, Chamberlain, O'Neal, Larry Bird, and Duncan are not only extremely offensive, but also extremely powerful even on the defensive end. A great player must be able to dominate both offense and defense.

Even players like Kobe Bryant and McGrady scored happily while they also had the defensive ability to contrast with the same level. As long as they were willing, they would show it. Iverson was the same. Although due to physical confrontation, the only defense he left for the world was his steal, but his defensive will was there.

But these were not visible to Carmelo Anthony, so Stephen made two fake moves very simply. Carmelo Anthony saw it and his body also reacted, but it seemed like a pure natural reaction, not a conscious defense at all. Sure enough, when Stephen made the third fake move, Carmelo Anthony's movement stopped for a moment. This was the reaction of consciousness taking over the body. Although he followed immediately, it was too late. Stephen easily passed him and blocked him behind him. Then, facing Camby who rushed over hard, Stephen threw the ball into the basket with the same action as Iverson.
