Chapter 263 The Philadelphia Story (2)

Both sides jump the ball.

Yao Ming and Hawys stood on both sides of the center line. Hawys was also a big guy. Both of them had slightly bent their knees, and they looked not much different in size.

The referee threw the ball, and Hawys jumped hard, and actually touched the ball first, and immediately transferred the ball to Holliday.

Although Meeks is a nominal playback, Holliday is the same height as him, 1.91 meters tall, and can play playback and offensive defender.

Coach Collins has told them today that in order to deal with Jiang Jun, he played with two of them. This game was a double point guard, both a double point guard and a double point guard.

So Hollidy didn't hesitate and dribbled forward immediately.

Jackson, who was defending him, also rushed to block it.

Holliday accelerated, passed Jackson, and continued to break into the inside.

Jiang Jun was originally defending Meeks, but when he saw Holliday attacking firmly, he took a step and blocked Holliday.

Instead of fighting with Jiang Jun, Holliday threw the ball back and passed it to Meeks outside the three-point line.

Meeks took a knife and made a three-pointer!

Suddenly, the fans of the 76ers thundered and cheered for the young player.

Jiang Jun was a little surprised, he felt that the other party seemed to be prepared.

But he was unmoved and received the pass from Thomas and slowly transported it to the frontcourt.

Meeks moved forward and defended Jiang Jun closely. It seemed that he was still very confident in his physical strength.

Jiang Jun laughed in his heart and continued to rub against Meeks.

As soon as the two met, Jiang Jun took advantage of the situation and turned around. Jiang Jun was gone in front of Meeks.

Although Holliday was defending Jackson, his eyes were always staring at Jiang Jun.

When he saw Jiang Jun get rid of Meeks, Hollidy quickly abandoned Jackson and came to defend Jiang Jun.

This is also the tactic arranged by the head coach of Collins. The two guards on the outside have to stare at Jiang Jun. They are about the same height as Jiang Jun, and they are very fast, so they can keep up with Jiang Jun's speed very well.

Originally, the second-tier pick Turner started several games in the front, but due to his unstable performance, Meeks replaced him from the previous game.

Jiang Jun didn't even look at Holliday. He reached the three-point line and raised his head high to pass the ball to Yao Ming, who was in the key position in the inside. Hawys quickly stepped forward and took the defense.

This big man has the strength and height. When Yao Ming saw that he had no suitable opportunity and did not have a strong shot on the verge of strength, he found that Jackson, who was outside the three-point line on the other side, was in an unguarded state, so he stabbed a powerful pass and threw it to Jackson.

After Jackson scored the highest score in the last game against the Hornets, he became more confident. Seeing that no one was defending, he jumped up and shot calmly and decisively.

Unfortunately, it was a little shorter. Brand at the basket stretched out his long arms and confiscated the rebound. Then it passed to Meeks on the outside.

Meeks dribbled to the frontcourt, and Jackson was defending him at this time.

Jiang Jun is defending Holliday who is about to go down.

Meeks reached the three-point line and saw that he didn't know how to get his phone, so he made a gesture with Brand.

Brand immediately moved forward, a pick-and-roll, blocking Jackson.

Jackson was a little anxious. He originally wanted to bypass Brand, but Brand was once the top power forward in the league. Although he was not tall, he was only 2.06 meters tall, but as a top student at Duke University, his basic skills were quite solid and his body was strong, keeping Jackson behind him.

Thomas came over to make up for defense quickly.

But it was too late. Meeks took advantage of this opportunity and made a three-pointer and hit again!

Smith exclaimed: "Reggie, it seems that this guy is expected to be your successor. It feels so good to shoot."

Miller smiled and said, "Mix replaced the second-tier pick Evan Turner in the last game. He performed well for the first time in his career. Today he still started, and his performance was even more amazing. For example, outside pitchers sometimes have a feeling. When they find it, they can be said that they can be shot no matter how they start. This feeling is indeed mysterious."

Barkley shook his head and said, "If it's a flash in the pan, this performance is not worth mentioning at all. I think Jiang will respond soon. It's strange that the 76ers are my team, but I hope the Bobcats will win now."

Smith smiled: "Maybe we all want to witness a myth. I remember the Bulls in the 1995-1996 season had the best 72-10 record in the league. It seemed that only nine teams had won them at that time."

Miller smiled proudly: "My Pacers were the only team that defeated the Bulls twice."

Barkley curled his lips and said, "What's so great about this? My Suns beat the Bulls."

In the 1995-1996 season, the Chicago Bulls led by Jordan achieved the best record of 72 wins and 10 losses in NBA history, with only 9 teams winning % and winning percentages of only 9 teams winning against the Bulls. They are: Orlando Magic, Seattle Supersonics, Indiana Pacers 2 times, Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, Miami Heat, New York Knicks, Toronto Raptors, and Charlotte Hornets.

And now, Jiang Jun and his Bobcats are unbeaten at the beginning and are heading towards the Bulls' record.

Although there is definitely another obstacle, Jiang Jun firmly believes that his team will not fail.

Jiang Jun dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and was still passed to Yao Ming. Yao Ming turned around. Seeing that the situation in Hawys was critical, Brand stepped forward and attacked Yao Ming.

His long arms caused trouble to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming did not make a strong shot, but instead sent the ball back to Jiang Jun on the outside.

Meeks moved forward to defend Jiang Jun. Jiang Jun didn't want to shoot at first, but when he saw that it was the boy who had just won two yuan in a row, he stopped passing the ball, but made a breakthrough move forward.

Meeks quickly took a step back, hoping to make a judgment on Jiang Jun's breakthrough route.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jun retracted his right foot back and returned to outside the three-point line, and a big gap suddenly appeared between the two.

Jiang Jun jumped on the spot, the ball drew a perfect arc, and scored a hollow three-pointer.

The 6-3, 76ers led, with both sides three-pointers.

For the next ball, after the complicated pick-and-roll, Meeks got the chance to attack outside the three-point line again. He took a decisive move and actually hit it again!

What a Mix, three-pointer!

Miller smiled and said, "Including the last game, the 76ers have lost eight consecutive away games, and they are most eager to return to home. From this game, the 76ers started a sweet schedule of four consecutive home games. The last time they had four consecutive home games was in March 2009. Sure enough, on this game, their firepower exploded, which made the visiting Bobcats look dirty."

Barkley said: "It's a pity that the game has just begun and it's not too bad."

The Bobcats attacked. Jiang Jun played Yao Ming again, and the 76ers were still double-teaming inside. Yao Ming seized the opportunity and passed the ball to Thomas in the open.

Seeing that the inside was crowded, Thomas did not dunk into the inside, but instead made a mid-range shot at the free throw line. Unfortunately, his mid-range shot was not very reliable. The ball hit the inside edge of the basket and bounced out, and was confiscated by Brand again.

Jiang Jun began to pay attention to Meeks. In the next round, he stared at Meeks tightly and refused to let him take action.

Meeks was not in love with the fight. He just took the pass from Holliday, slapped it twice, and saw that there was no chance, and passed the ball back.

Taking advantage of Jackson's sideways to see Meeks' lack of concentration, Holliday also made a decisive move and hit a three-pointer!

The home fans were very excited. The two young players in the backcourt actually dominated the offense and made a three-pointer rain, which was unexpected.

Iguodala and Brand walked to front of Holliday and Meeks, each touching the head of a young player, and encouraging them.

12 to 3, the 76ers slowly opened up the gap.

Old Brown was a little anxious. He felt that the two young players on the other side were very threatening because they were both very fast and their offense and defense rhythms were all raised.

It seems that Jackson is a little unable to keep up with the pace. After all, it is a back-to-back game. It is possible that a 32-year-old veteran can't stand the physical fitness.

Yao Ming then hit a two-pointer, and in turn, Holliday hit a three-pointer again.

It's so amazing!

15 to 5.

Old Brown couldn't sit still and quickly called for a pause.

Then he replaced Jackson with Augustine and told Jiang Jun to fight another shot.

At the critical moment of the game, he had to count on Jiang Jun, a big killer weapon.

But Meeks and Holliday were simply crazy. They both made the Bobcats unable to defend themselves.

What made Augustine depressed was that almost both of them shot on his head.

As long as they don't compete with Jiang Jun, these two young players will take decisive action.

Jiang Jun was unable to defend two players at the same time.

In addition, the 76ers deliberately created shooting space for two small guards, so the 76ers kept playing against the Bobcats in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers actually led by 32-to-**.

Smith opened his mouth wide and said, "Are we witnessing a winning streak today not a winning streak, but an end to a winning streak?"

"There's nothing strange about this, no team can win without defeat," Miller said.

Barkley said: "Today, the 76ers' back line feels so good. Especially Meeks, who made 6 of 7 three-pointers in the first quarter, scored 20 points in a single quarter. In this gymnasium, it seems that only Allen Iverson was the only one who scored 20 points in the first quarter, and I couldn't even do it."

Smith said: "This game reminds us of the Bobcats when they started the game. There were a few games that they were just behind in the start, and today, they dug another big hole in the first quarter. Let's see if the Bobcats can reappear and make a successful comeback."
