Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 126 Anthony's Response
After Kobe hit and added a penalty, he found Anthony among the Nuggets players, and he still threw a provocative look over him, as if to say: Boy, this is my home court, just go home and eat shit!
Seeing Kobe's eyes again, Anthony frowned, and a high fighting spirit was ignited in his eyes. From the bottom of his heart, he respected Kobe. It hasn't changed in years, but that doesn't mean he can let other people ride on his head, anyone, even if his name is Kobe.

In the frontcourt, Anthony changed the defender through Nene's pick-and-roll, facing the "postman" Malone, who has been known for his iron blood and toughness in history.

Facing the iron-blooded striker who is a perfect combination of strength and muscle, Anthony did not have any look of retreating in his eyes. On the contrary, his eyes were full of fighting spirit at this time. Just as Kobe showed before, he also wanted to show Kobe Showing his dedication, his desire to win the game is no less than anyone else.

Malone looked at Anthony, reached out and spread his long arms, enveloping Anthony in his defensive coverage.

The former MVP who is willing to automatically sign a veteran's basic salary with the Lakers this season is still [-]% to [-]% of his peak strength. It is not a problem to sign a contract worth tens of millions in any team. The reason why he signed this The purpose of the contract is to fulfill his dream of a championship, and the regular season is every step he takes to achieve this goal. He must work hard at all times, as he has ever done before.

Anthony used skillful cross-steps to swing his body back and forth, trying to shake Malone away to find enough space to shoot, but after a series of movements, he suddenly found that Malone was firmly occupying the defensive position all the time.

While secretly praising Malone in his heart, Anthony is also looking for other ways to attack.

Malone's arms are very long and his body is very strong. It is completely impossible to hit hard or hit back. Anthony slowly dribbled the ball and retreated beyond the three-point line.

Malone's defense also followed suit. The other players of the Lakers did not intend to switch defenses. It seemed that they had considerable trust in Mark's defensive ability.

Anthony continued to pull towards the three-point line, and when everyone thought he was going to single out Malone, he suddenly slammed the ball into the air.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flew up from the bottom right corner.

The Nuggets played a bombardment tactic. After the ball reached Anthony's hands, the other players did not stop there, but continued to run, pulling the Lakers' defense.

Just now, Nene and Bell made a double pick-and-roll. Nene first helped Bell block his defender Kobe, and then started running to the right baseline.

Bell ran out for a while, pulled George out for a distance, then suddenly killed a carbine, and then returned to the three-second zone, making an air cut layup.

Although George is physically strong, his pace is a bit slow. He thought that after the pick-and-roll, Bell should go beyond the three-point line to make a fixed-point turret. He never expected Bell to cut back to the basket with a brake. It was too late to come here.

Kobe, who was blocked by Nene, saw that George didn't keep up with Bell's footsteps, and his face suddenly darkened, but he also knew George, his performance was always very unstable, and sometimes he played like a star Players are sometimes more like an undercover agent. The attack just now was obviously the latter. He didn't bother to get angry, so he bypassed Nene and rushed to defend.

Bell was about to hit the basket, and Camby tried his best to face O'Neal on the left wing at this time, creating an air cut opportunity for Bell.

Kobe also finally reached the basket almost at the same time as Bell, which can be said to have basically locked the latter's layup space.

But just as Kobe breathed a sigh of relief, Bell suddenly feinted and ran towards the left side of the basket.

A look of surprise flashed in Kobe's eyes. He didn't expect Bell to make a move at such a close distance. Fortunately, he was not a vegetarian, so he hurriedly chased him. This time he simply used his body to block Bell's weak side. Give him a chance to catch the ball.

Kobe's quick reaction finally blocked the Nuggets' attack led by Bell, but at this moment, Nene ran from the bottom corner to the basket, and then jumped up from behind Kobe.

Just then, Anthony flicked the ball into the air.

Kobe's back was facing the basket at this time. Although he knew that someone was jumping behind him, it was impossible for him to make a defensive move. However, his experience still played a big role at this time, and he instinctively moved to the side. Jump.

Nene caught the ball thrown by Anthony in mid-air. Anthony's pass can be said to be at the right time, and it can be said that the person arrives at the ball.

To say that when Anthony pulled Malone out of the three-point line, he dribbled the ball and at the same time observed his teammates' running positions from time to time, so he was able to spot the attacking opportunity at the first time, and the strength and angle of the ball were also grasped. Very good.

Nene jumped up, grabbed the ball in mid-air, and breathed the air in the mid-air of the court. He couldn't stop his excitement. What I said to him at the time: If you can easily get the chance to score, isn't it much easier than your previous singles in the paint?

Now, it's clear that what D'Antoni said came true.

The spotlights around kept flickering, reflecting Nene's strong body, grabbing the ball and smashing it down from mid-air.

"Oh!"

There was a loud noise, like a muffled thunder on the ground, and the huge Staples Arena was in an uproar following the loud noise, followed by a dead silence.

Thanks to Kobe's quick reaction, he avoided Nene's dunk and did not become an embarrassing background wall.

After the dunk, Nene seemed very excited. He shook his body vigorously on the basket twice, and then jumped off from above. The audience around roared wildly, and the splashed saliva showed his excited expression.

"What a beast!" In the commentary, Brown laughed and said that the ball was played very beautifully just now. The appearance of a Beastist frontman makes people feel secretly refreshed.

"Tsk tsk, Melo's passing awareness and ability are really coveted. If I was born a few years later, I'm afraid I would wish to be teammates with him~" As Anthony's "fan", Johnson began to praise him non-stop at this time. he comes.

"Haha, the coordination of this ball is perfect, but looking at Kobe's appearance, he seems to be a little angry..."

Brown's words focused many people's attention on Kobe. The scorer with strong scoring ability had a gloomy face at this time, and his serious expression was more terrifying than ever before. Looking at him, he seemed to be It's about to explode.

Anthony naturally saw all of this. Thinking of Kobe's previous provocative actions, Anthony felt relieved for a while. He had no choice. performance to conquer logarithms.

Kobe's anger was terrifying. He asked for the ball from Payton from the backcourt, then went to the frontcourt, accelerated and killed directly, facing Bell's close defense, made an emergency stop and shot in motion, and forced a hit. The rebound shot added two more points for the Lakers.

After scoring, without any surprise, Bryant continued to stare at Anthony.

"Kobe's anger is coming at a very good time. From the beginning to now, all the points of the Lakers come from him, and he made all three shots. He is in an unusually hot state." Brown saw Kobe scored another goal, quite excited. Said with emotion.

"Haha, yes, this kid has improved year by year. Thinking back to the time when he didn't touch the open three-pointer three times in a row, he is so trustworthy now. His progress is amazing. He has contributed a lot to the Lakers' record~" When it comes to Kobe's performance, Johnson will naturally not be stingy with words of appreciation.

Kobe took down two points toughly, Anthony just laughed it off and didn't show too much concern. At 7:4, the Nuggets were only three points behind.

After the Nuggets' offensive round, Anthony used Nene and Camby's double pick-and-roll, ran to the top of the arc and received a pass from Miller, jumped up and avoided George's block, and made a swift three-pointer. Points into pockets, tied the score in one fell swoop!

Anthony tied the score, and Kobe was the most annoyed. He felt the challenge from this rookie.

Anthony also did not show weakness, turned around and hit George with a turnaround jumper and hit a mid-range jumper again!

Kobe and Anthony fell into a confrontation unknowingly, but the two people's methods are a bit different. Kobe played super efficient singles again and again, while Anthony had several wonderful passes after scoring. , in contrast, the latter is much more relaxed and freehand.

However, the comparison between the Nuggets teammates and the Lakers is still a lot worse. Anthony's passes are often wasted by his teammates, especially Bell. This defensive champion may be blasted by Kobe on the defensive end. The situation was too miserable, leading to a lack of confidence in the offense, hesitation in taking shots, and always wasting opportunities. Anthony went up to remind him twice that it didn't help, as if he had already decided in his heart that he couldn't guard against Kobe.

At 12:18, when the first quarter was played for 5 minutes, the Nuggets began to be slowly opened up due to the overall strength of the team, and Kobe could be said to be fully fired and won in this half quarter. Scored 10 points, almost in a state of berserk.
