I've been playing in the NBA for three years, and this system is only now showing up?

Chapter 36 Lin Ze VS Iverson! Dirty VS Even Dirtier!

Kobe ignored him, instead consciously forcing Iverson to his left side while waving his hand at Lin Ze behind his back.

Lin Ze received the signal and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Lin Ze chose a blind spot in Iverson's vision, quickly moved forward, and suddenly accelerated, blocking Iverson's path.

Another sudden double-team attack!

Of course, Iverson wouldn't fall for it every time. This time, he reacted quickly enough and passed the ball early, getting up in advance to pass it to George, who had been left behind by Lin Ze.

"Stick to him! Don't let him cut through!" Lin Ze shouted as he moved quickly toward George, who was not far away.

George didn't hesitate and immediately pulled up for the shot. Although he has a 40% three-point shooting percentage this year, his high accuracy comes at the cost of low output. He only takes less than 0.4 three-pointers per game, and his shooting percentage with such a low number of attempts is not meaningful. He can't be considered a shooter at all.

So Lin Ze ran off at top speed, trying to interfere with George's shot as much as possible.

*Bang!*

Sure enough, there was a muffled thud as George's shot missed. Lin Ze and Kobe immediately turned and sprinted towards the frontcourt.

Although O'Neal is not on the court, veteran Draymond Green is there, and both of them have absolute trust in him.

If you let Green play 20 minutes these days, he definitely won't be able to make any contribution.

If he plays a few minutes in the final moments of the game, his experience, technique, and attention to detail can definitely help the team quite effectively.

Green perfectly positioned himself for that play.

Then, he caught the basketball with a flick of his toe and quickly passed it to Hubble, who then passed it to Kobe on the left.

Kobe dribbled the ball and charged towards the basket at lightning speed, instantly drawing the attention of three defenders!

Everyone knew he was losing his temper tonight and wouldn't pass the ball. Iverson even started yelling again, trying to provoke Kobe into making an impulsive decision when he was surrounded by three defenders.

Then Kobe threw the basketball, but everyone could see that he wasn't shooting.

Iverson and the others quickly turned around and saw Lin Ze scoring 2 more points for the team with a light alley-oop layup!

The game has entered its final 3 minutes!

90: 92!

The two sides are only 2 points apart.

For the 76ers' offense, Iverson was in no hurry at all. He slowed the pace down to the minimum, dribbling steadily at the top of the arc until the last 6 seconds before suddenly starting his attack and driving towards the basket.

With O'Neal out, attacking the Lakers' interior is definitely the best option.

"51 points! Iverson has scored his first 50+ point game of the season, and the first in the entire league!" Smith shouted. "Iverson was unparalleled tonight, he is Philadelphia's eternal 'Answer'!"

The Lakers' offense, and Kobe's choice just now, made it clear to Lin Ze how he would play next.

Although this guy played haphazardly and was in terrible form tonight, he hasn't completely lost his mind; he still knows that winning or losing is more important.

So Lin Ze continued running back and forth outside the three-point line, watching Kobe with the ball drive to the basket and draw double teams, and then pass the ball out again!

Lin Ze received the ball at a 30-degree angle on the left, faked a shot, and George, who was on high alert, immediately jumped to try to block it. However, Lin Ze had already dribbled to the side and moved one step, then pulled up and decisively launched a three-pointer!

"Whoosh!"

With a crisp sound, the gap between the two sides was reduced to only 1 point!

93: 94!

"Lin is just as good!" Will Marcus said. "Los Angeles has its own 'right solution,' and Lin has already scored 30 points tonight! After O'Neal went to the bench, Lin scored 5 consecutive points to keep the team alive! Will the final moments become a scoring duel between Iverson and Lin?"

For at least the next minute, Wilmarcus's words proved prophetic.

Allen Iverson of the 76ers scored 4 consecutive points with a mid-range jumper and a drive that drew a foul, making both free throws. His personal score tonight has reached 55 points!

Lin Ze was responsible for scoring for the Lakers. He received the ball and drove to the basket for a layup. He also received a rebound from Green and made a turnaround jump shot over George, scoring 4 points in a row. His personal score reached 34 points!

With one minute remaining in the game, the score was—

97: 98!

The 76ers' timeout ended, and Iverson received the ball on the sideline.

"Tense and exciting! How will the game unfold? Who will be the ultimate winner tonight?" Smith asked. "Will there be overtime or a game-winning shot?"

On the court, Iverson had already received the ball two meters beyond the three-point line and controlled the pace of the game.

With 8 seconds left on the shot clock and 44 seconds remaining in the game, Iverson launched an attack!

With two consecutive crossover dribbles, Iverson pressed forward, compressing Kobe's defensive space. Then, Iverson suddenly executed a wide crossover dribble combined with his signature attack step, slightly shifting Kobe's balance before executing another wide crossover. This spectacular dribbling move allowed him to completely shake off Kobe.

As Iverson accelerated his attack on Kobe's defense, Lin Ze had already anticipated his path. He quickly moved laterally, dashing towards the middle, and at the last second, he steadied himself, colliding head-on with the onrushing Iverson.

With a "thud," Lin Ze fell to the ground and flew backward, turning his head to look at the referee.

If this play were made 20 years from now in a more challenging year, he would be 100% certain it would be an offensive foul.

He not only arrived at his destination ahead of time, but also stood firmly on his feet!

But this is Philadelphia after all, and Iverson is a superstar; any kind of call is possible.

"Blocking foul! Two free throws!"

As expected, the referee did not disappoint Lin Ze.

The biased refereeing of superstars is clearly evident at this moment.

"Kid, did your mother make you land headfirst when you were born?" Iverson said arrogantly, looking at Lin Ze who was being helped up by Rice and Hubble. "My soles are 100 times more valuable than yours. You're a bastard who's not even qualified to lick my ass, and you dare to call a foul on me? Who gave you the guts!"

"Your mother." Facing Iverson's provocation, Lin Ze remained calm and composed: "She said last night that I could draw fouls on you."

Is it more shameless to spew profanities?

Dude, you're definitely dirtier than me!

"You insulted my mother?"

"If you don't shut up, I'll even... your maternal grandmother, your maternal grandmother's mother, and your paternal grandmother. Oh, Allen, sorry, I swear I didn't mean it." Lin Ze said, looking at Iverson with disdain, "I forgot you don't have a paternal grandmother!"

"FUCK! I..." Iverson was so angry that he raised his foot to charge at Lin Ze, but unfortunately, the referees arrived faster. The referees had already noticed the two men's endless trash talk and quickly blocked them from the middle, ordering them to shut up.
