Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 139 Chapter 140 Chapter Seven
Kobe, technical foul...

The fans at the scene were in an uproar.

Bell, one technical foul plus one malicious foul, accumulated two technical fouls and was directly sent off.

The fans at the scene cheered.

Bell had just bandaged his wound, and when he heard the penalty, he stood up from the bench with a "huh".

Anthony walked quickly to Bell's side at this time, and whispered in his ear: "The Lakers' home court, don't mess around, we are the ones who suffer."

Bell was about to make an attack, but when he heard Anthony's words, he stopped immediately. The person he admired the most in the Nuggets was Anthony. After Anthony said so, he was silent for a while, and finally chose to endure.

"Forbearance is calm for a while, I will win this game, just watch it in the locker room." Anthony said to Bell with firm eyes.

Bell nodded, and then walked towards the player tunnel under the guidance of the staff.

"Shh!"

There was an unavoidable booing scene.

Technical fouls on both sides, free throws on both sides, two for the Nuggets and four for the Lakers.

Kobe was naturally the one who went to the free throw line for the Lakers. His mood and state had completely recovered from the previous anger, and his eyes were still filled with the burning fighting spirit. He walked to the free throw line, steadily hit four free throws.

For the Nuggets, because Bell has been sent off, the Nuggets need to designate a player to take the penalty. D'Antoni designated Korver, who is the most accurate free throw in the Nuggets.

Before Korver went on the court, Anthony thought about it, walked up to him, leaned over and said, "Earl, defend Kobe later, I know it will be difficult for you, but I believe you can do what Raja did. Whether you walk out of the arena with your head held high tonight, or leave the arena disgruntled amidst the boos of the fans, it all depends on you."

Hearing what Anthony said, Korver, who has always been gentle and shy, also showed a look of determination on his face, and nodded vigorously.

Anthony saw Korver's move, smiled and patted him on the shoulder vigorously, then turned and returned to the bench.

Korver walked to the free throw line, took the ball from the referee, and against the boos all over the arena, the two free throws were hit steadily without any suspense.

At 125:119, the Lakers' lead came to 6 points.

Korver made a free throw there, and Anthony called the Nuggets players together at this time. Now there are only about two and a half minutes before the end of overtime, and they are still behind by a full six points. Backbone, something has to be said to boost morale at a time like this.

When the players gathered together, Anthony said in a deep voice: "Everyone, Raja has been sent off. I know many people will think that he doesn't need to do this. This is just an ordinary game. Winning or losing is not important to us." So important. But do you know why Raja did that?"

Speaking of this, Anthony glanced at the Nuggets players: "When Raja and I were in the player tunnel, we happened to meet Kobe at that time. Kobe said he would teach us a lesson at home. Do you know why?"

"Because he thinks he has the most obsessive desire for victory!" Anthony said with an emphasis, "But he forgot that he is not the only one in this alliance who has this obsession with victory, even if it is just a game. In ordinary games, our desire for victory is no less than his! Our efforts, what we have paid, and our efforts to fight back when we are not superior in strength, this effort is more worthy of winning the game!"

Anthony's words, the Nuggets players listened, with a firm look on their faces, they didn't feel much hope of winning at the beginning, but after each quarter of the game, they abruptly hit the plus. At this time, they really deserve to have the victory of this game.

Seeing the determined look on the Nuggets players' faces, Anthony straightened his back and said, "Brothers, we have fought hard for four quarters, and there is no reason to give up here, even though there are only more than two minutes left in the game. , but as long as we suppress the offense of the Lakers and play a wave of climax, the victory will belong to us in the end!"

"We deserve to win the game!" Anthony said, stretching his right hand forward.

Following Anthony's actions, other Nuggets players also stretched out their hands and shouted with Anthony: "For victory!"

"beep!"

As soon as the Nuggets yelled, the whistle from the sidelines also sounded, and the timeout was up.

The ball came back from a technical timeout, and the Lakers players were placed in the Nuggets' half court. When Kobe walked past Anthony, he suddenly smiled and said, "Rookie, you should know now, as I said, This is my home court, even if you use tricks, you can't win the game."

Anthony heard what Kobe said, looked up at him, needless to say, Kobe's flamboyant means must refer to Bell who was sent off, Anthony will naturally not show weakness at this moment, he also said with a smile: "Really? Bale is a hard-working player who doesn't use elbows to solve problems like some people do."

Kobe's face changed suddenly, and he stretched out his hand to push Anthony.

Anthony saw Kobe's action and raised his hands decisively. As long as Kobe made a move at this time, he must be the one who got the technical foul.

"beep!"

At this moment, the referee's whistle sounded, signaling Payton to serve a sideline kick.

When Kobe heard the whistle, he paused his outstretched hand, then withdrew his hand, sneered and said, "You want to provoke me on purpose?"

Anthony smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, the ball sent by Payton was received by George, and he dribbled the ball towards Kobe.

Bryant took one last look at Anthony before going over to catch the ball.

Anthony didn't bother with Kobe either, he ran to defend his defender George.

Kobe faced Korver after receiving the ball, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help showing a smile. If Korver didn't go up in front, he might still need to think about how to attack, but he has already taught Korver "early morning road". "Like defense, and after being dragged into overtime by Korver's fatal three-pointer, the one he most hopes to face at this moment is Korver.

This time, after Kobe took the ball, he didn't run the triangle offensive tactics as before, but directly signaled his teammates to open up enough space for him.

Maybe it was because the game led by a lot of points, or maybe it was because they had enough confidence in Kobe's singles against Korver. Jackson on the sidelines and O'Neal on the court didn't show any opinions at the moment. After a while, There is a large space for singles on the right.

Korver faced Kobe, he sank his body, he knew it would be difficult for him to defend against Kobe's offense, but he remembered what Anthony said, he may not be able to do it, but he must not think that he cannot do it.

Kobe dribbled the ball, facing Korver's defense, accelerated directly and began to rush in.

Korver also quickened his pace to keep up with Kobe.

Needless to say, although Korver's pace is slow, he is not afraid of lack of ability or lack of confidence in doing things. This time, he actually kept up with Kobe's rhythm.

Anthony was pulled to the far end by George, but his eyes were always on Kobe. Seeing that Kobe didn't use his back, he couldn't help showing a smile. Facing a defender like Korver, he used his body to crush him. Pressing is the most effective way, just like the previous play against Saidio.

Kobe, who has experienced the baptism of three finals, naturally knows this.

Obviously, Kobe underestimated the enemy.

Kobe broke through quickly, but Korver still couldn't keep up with the rhythm. When he was one meter away from the basket, Kobe made an emergency stop and shot.

Korver was a little slower at this time, but he also jumped up, and threw himself in front of Kobe with his teeth and claws.

Kobe thought that an emergency stop could sway Korver, because he did that before, but now he didn't expect Korver to pounce on him. He was careless and the ball was a little crooked.

With a bang, the ball hit the basket's neck.

Kobe failed to hit the shot. In a flash, O'Neal, who had just pulled Mutombo out, ran towards the basket with a big stride, and he was about to grab the rebound with his big hands.

The ball fell from top to bottom, and it was about to be taken into O'Neal's arms.

At this moment, a pair of big black hands suddenly covered it, and grabbed the ball when it fell.

Mutombo grabs this defensive rebound off O'Neal!
"Beautiful!" Brown shouted excitedly when he saw the ball. It would definitely not be an easy task to grab a rebound over O'Neal's head.

The Nuggets' style of play is still the same. The moment Mutombo took off the rebound, the Nuggets' third-line fast break was launched immediately. Mutombo flicked the ball forward and the ball reached the corner of the fast break. In Anthony's hand, when he reached the frontcourt, Anthony threw the ball to Korver who followed up, and the latter hit the three-point line with a chasing three-pointer.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Korver pierced through Yang with a hundred steps, without missing a beat.

Korver hit a three-pointer over there, but in the backcourt, the two suddenly wrestled together. The referee on the sidelines practiced blowing his whistle, and then separated the two in the struggle.

It was O'Neal and Mutombo who were entangled together, and it was O'Neal who caused the trouble. Perhaps it was Mutombo's pick of melons on his head that made him feel very uncomfortable, and secretly waved his elbow.

Although Mutombo is a good guy most of the time, after all, he has been in the league for so long, and he is facing O'Neal, an old enemy. Naturally, he will not show weakness at this moment, and he pushed O'Neal away suddenly. .

This time, the two sides fought together.

Because it was on the bottom line, the referee at the bottom line saw it clearly, and directly gave two people a foul, which calmed down the continuous brawl that might have occurred.

Korver's three-point handicap suddenly returned to three points, and Jackson immediately called a timeout.

At this moment, Anthony looked up at the scoreboard on the sidelines. Underneath, the number of O'Neal's fouls, the red number, was already "5".
