Chapter 63 A Different Answer
"You should be more decisive, kid. You have to believe that every shot you take will go in, because your talent is there. Instead of letting others take inefficient shots, you should take the shot yourself. Your shooting percentage is almost 50%, which is more accurate than those who take less than 40% of shots."
"Don't think about whether it's reasonable or not. There's never anything completely reasonable in this world. You have to learn to face your hesitation and then remove that word from your head."
"The result of the game is something to think about after the game. What you need to do now is keep scoring. Other people's opinions are bullshit. Chamberlain could score 100 points and he only had two championships, but that doesn't affect people's evaluation of him."
"The media only pays attention to you when you get 81 points or none at all. So, kid, forget about everything else that doesn't involve scoring. You'll find that getting 81 points is more interesting, isn't it!"
During halftime, Coach Ke continuously "guided" Wang Kai within his spiritual space.
Kobe's emotions were actually quite complex. On one hand, he hoped that Wang Kai could achieve greater success so that he could have a chance to save his future self and his daughter. At the same time, Kobe didn't want Wang Kai to surpass him too quickly because he was worried that the current Kobe would become more obsessive.
Wang Kai did not change his mind because of Kobe's "guidance". Through years of training and games, Wang Kai has his own basketball ideas and philosophy. Although it is still in its infancy, Wang Kai has his own ideas and persistence.
"I know, Kobe. Don't worry, my three-point shot is much more accurate than yours."
After the start of the third quarter, Wang Kai, who returned to the court, continued to play off the ball. The 76ers had a significant home-court advantage in this game, and the referees did not blow the whistle for many of Iguodala's suspected fouls.
The 76ers continue to play a style of play centered around Iverson, with Chris Webber primarily playing a supporting role on the court.
With 34 points in the first half, the 76ers were unwilling to dampen Iverson's spirits at this point. Wang Kai's 64 points and Kobe's 62 points had greatly motivated Iverson.
Iverson scored another and-one at the start of the third quarter, and Baron Davis simply couldn't keep up with Iverson's speed.
However, Wang Kai responded with a three-pointer on offense, and his touch gradually returned in the second quarter.
Murphy left the game late in the second quarter due to a sprained ankle, and the Warriors completely switched to a small lineup, intending to abandon their interior defense and engage in a chaotic game.
Iverson dared to take such decisive shots in this game because he had a strong desire to score, and the 76ers' interior defense was able to secure rebounds very well.
The frontcourt duo of Webber and Dalembert is causing the Warriors a lot of trouble. This kind of frontcourt, which has both offense and defense and is not slow, is what the Warriors are most worried about right now. On the contrary, the Warriors are not afraid of frontcourts that have height and strength but are slow.
Webber has a knee injury, but it's not a big problem at the moment. The 76ers don't need Webber to charge into battle or defend the Warriors' key player aggressively. Or rather, the current Warriors team lacks a player who can be lethal to the opponent.
The tide seemed to be turning in favor of the 76ers, but after Wang Kai hit three consecutive three-pointers in the third quarter, the Warriors gained momentum.
This is what makes the current Warriors team so formidable. They don't have a very solid defense, nor do they have a superstar who can single-handedly control the game. Wang Kai can only be considered half a superstar right now. His outside shooting and ball-handling skills are adequate, but he's not at his full potential in other aspects.
But when the Warriors get going, they're different; not every team dares to recklessly shoot only three-pointers.
When the Warriors started raining down three-pointers, the 76ers couldn't keep up. No matter how hard Iverson played, he was still just one person.
Iverson scored 18 points in the third quarter, but Wang Kai was not to be outdone, hitting four three-pointers and converting a three-point play against Webber.
Near the end of the third quarter, the 76ers, who had led by as many as 14 points, were tied with the Warriors at 82.
Allen Iverson scored 52 points in three quarters, a truly astonishing performance. To date, Iverson has scored 50+ points nine times in the regular season, with his highest score being 60 points against the Orlando Magic in February 2005.
For the Warriors, Wang Kai scored 35 points, making 7 of 14 three-pointers and 9 of 9 free throws.
When the game entered the fourth quarter, Korver hit two consecutive three-pointers for the 76ers, helping his team regain a 6-point lead.
Wang Kai dribbled past Webber's defense, used a behind-the-back dribble and a step-back move to shake off his opponent, and then powerfully scored under the basket despite Delemport's help defense. This play had a bit of Kobe's style.
The game has entered a heated phase, and the fans in the arena are feeling the atmosphere of the playoffs. High scores and back-and-forth battles are exactly the kind of game fans want to see.
With five minutes remaining in the game, the 4ers maintained a four-point lead, and Iverson scored his sixtieth point, tying his previous highest scoring record.
At a crucial moment, Baron Davis, who had been dominated by Iverson throughout the game, hit a three-pointer and then drew an offensive foul from Iguodala. Wang Kai then got the ball and broke through the 76ers' defense, scoring two more points with a floater. With three minutes left in the game, the Warriors finally took the lead for the first time.
As the game progressed, Iverson finally showed signs of weakness, with his shooting percentage starting to decline. However, the 76ers maintained a high level of focus throughout the game, and Webber made two crucial free throws to help the 76ers stay close in the score.
In the final two minutes, Wang Kai used his height advantage to score again over Iguodala's defense, drawing Iguodala's sixth foul.
Wang Kai completely broke through the 76ers' wing defense.
Old Ke's "guidance" had an effect, and Wang Kai's playing style gradually became more and more like Old Ke's without him even realizing it.
With one minute left, Iverson had a chance to tie or even take the lead, but unfortunately, he made his two-pointer, but missed the free throw, and the Warriors were still leading by one point.
In the final moments of the game, the 76ers resorted to fouling tactics, but the Warriors players held their nerve and saved the free throws.
Ultimately, thanks to Wang Kai's 44 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists, the Warriors defeated the 76ers on the road.
Allen Iverson scored 65 points, but the team failed to secure a victory at home, making today's result less than satisfactory.
