Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 125 The Powerful Peter Pan
After a simple warm-up, amidst the shouts of the fans, the game between the Lakers and the Nuggets finally kicked off.

On the Nuggets side, they kept the same starter from the previous game. On the other hand, on the Lakers side, except for F4, the small forward position is a powerful player, Devin George.

After the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Camby and O'Neal jumped up almost at the same time. Camby used his height and wingspan to slap the ball towards the Nuggets' backcourt, and the ball was caught by Miller.
The Nuggets got the chance to attack first.

The commentary for this game is the famous Lakers "Magic" Irvin Johnson and his old partner Devin Brown.

"Ervin, Melo is your favorite player this season, but you were also a star player of the Lakers. This game should be a dilemma for you, right? Which team do you think is better than that? More likely to win?" As a senior commentator, although Brown is not as famous as Johnson, who retired from playing as a commentator, he is rich in experience and picks the most interesting topics at the beginning .

"Devin, you will really give me a problem~" Sure enough, Johnson frowned, apparently having a hard time deciding which side to support. After hesitating for a while, he smiled wryly and said, "In terms of strength, the Lakers Except for Devin, the team has great advantages in other positions, especially Shaquille's inside, it is difficult for the Nuggets to stop..."

"So you still choose to support the Lakers?" Brown followed Johnson's words.

"But the game is not simply determined by the player's ability. The touch, the tacit understanding of tactics, and luck will all have a great impact on the result of the game, and..."

Johnson paused when he said this, and focused his attention on Anthony on the field. The latter received the ball at a 45-degree position on the right wing and began to single-play Brown.

"The Nuggets still have Melo." Johnson said with admiration in his eyes.

Perhaps to prove the truth of what he said, before he finished his words, there was a "swish", Anthony turned over and made a jumper and hit the net after a few fake moves.

"Haha, indeed, this miraculous rookie has given us too many surprises this season. I don't know how he will perform tonight. He and Kobe, the two strong contenders for the scoring title this season, will rub against each other. What kind of sparks..." Brown followed Johnson's words, and this sentence also brought the audience's attention to the ongoing game.

Anthony scored the first goal of the game for the Nuggets. Most of the Lakers players did not react much, except for one person, Kobe, the first point guard who had provoked Anthony before the game, perhaps because of The impact of Anthony breaking Jordan's record in the last game, or perhaps the disdainful smile in Anthony's player tunnel, he held his breath at this moment, and prepared to teach Anthony, an ignorant kid, a lesson at his home court.

As soon as the Lakers advanced past halftime, he was on the right wing in almost the same position as Anthony, and Payton's pass was passed immediately.

It was Bell who was defending Kobe. This defensive titan couldn't hide the nervousness on his face. After all, he had only officially made his debut this season, and at this time he was playing against the number one active player in the league.

After taking the ball, Kobe raised it over his head, and took advantage of the opportunity to explore with his right foot.

Bell moved back a little nervously, taking a defensive posture to prevent Kobe from breaking through.

At this moment, Kobe suddenly accelerated to the right and broke through. After Bell moved to the right, he suddenly dribbled the ball. Stop and start to rely heavily on hitting.

"Raja, guard him!" Coach Cooper on the sidelines yelled loudly. He knew that Bell was the strongest defensive player in the Nuggets' position. If he couldn't restrain Kobe well, then Kobe Definitely going to be a headache.

Just as Cooper was speaking, Kobe used a large back hit to advance to the inside bit by bit. When he was only two meters away from the basket, he suddenly stopped and then quickly swung from side to side. , without warning, a turnaround jumper.

Bell was hit by Kobe's swing and his center of gravity shook for a while. When Kobe got up, he was half a beat too late to interfere again.

Don't underestimate this half shot, it's enough for a top scorer like Kobe. After he pulled up, he glanced at the basket and shot directly.

The ball spun, drew a beautiful arc, and flew straight towards the basket.

After Kobe shot, he still kept his shot posture and fell down, just as his heel hit the floor.

With a sound of "shua", the ball he threw was also hollowed into the pocket.

After Kobe made the ball, he instinctively turned around and glanced at Anthony, pointed at him with his index finger, and threw a provocative look before turning around and running to the backcourt.

Bell had a bitter face at this time, and Kobe was targeting Anthony, but he was the one who suffered.

Anthony shook his head helplessly. Kobe's competitiveness was beyond his imagination, and he even seemed a bit paranoid.

In the next offensive round, Brown strengthened his defense against Anthony. The other Lakers players also intentionally shifted their defensive focus to his side. He did not receive the ball this round. The inner free throw line got an open mid-range opportunity, but the strength of the shot was a little heavier, the ball bounced to the backboard, O'Neal under the basket used his strong body to forcefully squeeze Camby away, and grabbed the backboard into his arms middle.

Missing a hit, the Nuggets retreated quickly, but the Lakers did not launch a fast break. "The Glove" Payton steadily controlled the ball and pushed forward. The level is also above average.

In the frontcourt, without any suspense, Kobe was still at forty or fifty degrees on the right wing to take a position, and then waved his big hand to ask for the ball again.

With the offense and defense of the previous round, except for O'Neal who was stuck at the basket and grabbed the rebound, the other Lakers players consciously pulled the defender to the far end, leaving only Kobe and Bell defending him in the huge right three-second zone .

Bell looked at Kobe again, sweat dripping unconsciously from his forehead.

After receiving the ball, Kobe turned around and began to repeat the previous singles action.

Bell used his body to withstand Kobe, but with the experience and lessons of the previous round, he also left more strength on the soles of his feet at this moment to defend against the impact of Kobe's shaking.

Kobe's right shoulder kept shaking, and he continued to push in as before. When he pushed to the same position as before, his shoulder shook and began to swing from side to side.

But it's a little different from before, he didn't stop the ball, but relied on hitting in motion.

Bell felt Kobe's movement, the soles of his feet began to exert force, and his whole body leaned forward. If Kobe jumped up again, he could guarantee that he would jump up and block it immediately.

However, after several violent turns, Kobe did not take off directly as before, but suddenly turned to the right with a super large turn without warning.

Bell was ready to jump right now, but he didn't expect Kobe to make such a sudden move. He staggered and lost his center of gravity. Although he didn't say he fell down, he just passed Kobe.

Kobe turned around and passed Bell directly, and slammed towards the basket.

O'Neal at the basket saw Kobe passing Bell, and the tacit understanding of playing together for a long time played a vital role at this time. He used his big body to directly squeeze Camby, who was facing him, out of the reasonable collision zone on the left.

This time, Kobe's road ahead can be said to be empty.

But just when everyone thought that Kobe would easily score these two points, a figure suddenly covered him from behind.

It's Bell!
After Bell was shaken away by Kobe, the words that Kobe said to Anthony in the player channel flashed involuntarily in his mind, those provocative words, there was a "buzz" in his mind, and blood poured from the soles of his feet, covered with bloodshot eyes eyes, turned around and chased back fiercely, and at the moment Kobe made a layup, he jumped up suddenly, ready to take a big cap.

After all, Kobe is a seasoned player. He has a strong competitive spirit, but at the same time, he also has super concentration on the court. He felt the wind in the back of his head the moment he jumped up for a layup, and he knew someone was coming. The body that was preparing for a layup suddenly increased its strength and changed the layup into a dunk.

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

The sound of Kobe's slam dunk and the crisp sound of thugs sounded almost at the same time.

There was a "beep", and the referee's whistle was also a few seconds late. When Kobe succeeded in dunking, it also caused Bell's thug foul.

"yeah!……"

The fans at the scene waved their hands in mid-air almost at the same time, roaring excitedly in their mouths. As fans of the Purple and Gold Legion, they are used to shouting at their home court every night, because almost every time, their home team can take care of them. They bring hearty victories.

Kobe jumped to the court floor after a successful dunk, and then turned his head to stare at the fouled Bell, with fierce eyes as if he wanted to eat Bell alive.

After all, Bell is a little tender, and the pressure to defend Kobe tonight is particularly high. Now he is stared at like this again, and he is a little scared. Don't turn your head away from Kobe. The previous brain fever seems to be a flash of inspiration. disappeared.

After Kobe finished staring at Bell, he saw that the latter flinched. His goal was achieved, and he didn't make any further moves, but walked towards the free throw line with a ruthless face.

Walking to the free throw line, the fans at the scene suddenly fell silent. Kobe saw the ball thrown by the referee, glanced at the basket, took a deep breath, and then squatted down with the ball. The moment he got up, the ball spun from the middle go out.

After the ball was thrown, Kobe still maintained the action at the moment of the shot.

The players under the basket looked at the spinning ball, and didn't even run out to fight for the rebound.

Anthony looked at the ball's parabola and smiled helplessly.

"Shh!"

The ball fell into the bag accurately, and Kobe made an extra free throw. In the past two rounds, he alone directed a wave of 5:0 attacks.
