Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 156 Running and bombing with both offense and defense

Seeing the situation on the court at this moment, Nelles analyzed: "Look at the defense of Mike and Andre. These two people have very rich experience. They have already blocked the pass from Jason, and Jason's layup will also become very difficult."

As soon as he finished speaking, Williams suddenly made another movement. He dragged the ball for a layup, and suddenly pulled it to the right, pulling the ball to the right side of his head, and then suddenly exerted force with his right hand, Throw it out to the left.

The ball just flew straight to the left.

It's just that the left side is empty, only the Grizzlies bench.

The players on the bench of the Grizzlies couldn't help laughing when they saw Williams passing the ball. Could it be that Williams regarded them as former teammates on the field?
But at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed towards the ball, and the sudden change made the players who were laughing suddenly dumbfounded.

Bell was one of the three Nuggets who followed the fast break, but after seeing both Anthony and Williams go to the basket, he consciously ran towards the three-point line.

After all, Bell is not Anthony. He didn't expect Williams to pass the ball, so when he saw him making a layup, he thought he was really going to layup, so he involuntarily slowed down his running speed.

But unexpectedly, the ball was passed out, which frightened him, because the ball was not passed towards him at all, but was passed three or four meters away in front of him. To force the rhythm of death!

He cursed secretly in his heart, and then had no choice but to speed up quickly. Speaking of which, fortunately, he ran fast, and finally grabbed the ball before it flew out of the field. There was no danger, and he felt relieved at this moment. Take a breath.

In fact, this ball fully reflects the characteristics of Williams' passing. When he entered the backcourt of the Grizzlies, he observed the running positions of Anthony and Bell, predicted their forward route, and he also Seeing Miller's strict defense against Anthony, Anthony's passing route must not work. For so long, only Bell's route is left.

Originally, in his prediction, Bell should appear on his passing route at this time, and he passed the ball horizontally, because of the angle of his hand, it is impossible to throw it backwards, so as long as Bell follows his previous Running forward at a high speed, this is definitely an excellent assist.

But this is also the disadvantage of Williams. He used anticipation to pass the ball. He didn't expect Bell to slow down, so the ball looked like it was passed to the Grizzlies bench.

Fortunately, Bell ran fast and barely caught the ball, otherwise, it would definitely be another nonsensical mistake.

The Nuggets' bench, Cooper also reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead at this time. This Williams' offense really passed his opponent, and then passed his teammates along the way.

After Bell received the ball, he saw that everyone was under the basket at this moment. He took a deep breath to relieve his panting state, then looked at the basket and shot.

The open situation, coupled with his already pretty good shooting percentage, made him feel very good after taking the ball.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound without suspense, Bell hit the first three-pointer of the game for the Nuggets.

"This..." Once again, Naylors was overwhelmed by Williams' pass.

"Haha, this Jason is completely out of order. The expression on your face just now when Raja catches the ball, you didn't expect him to pass the ball like this. This is really a response to that and passed the opponent. It's the same as passing teammates..." Wharton also said with a big laugh.

D'Antoni was standing on the sidelines at this time, his mouth slightly raised, showing a satisfied smile, this is the first time he has shown such a smile since joining the Nuggets.

The game continued on the court. The Grizzlies used Gasol to single Brandt twice in a row, but they failed to score. Brand seemed to be much shorter than Gasol, but his foot Very stable, and his defensive sense is particularly good. When Gasol starts playing back, he can always reach out to block Gasol's passing vision and block his layup route.

From the point of view of playing experience, the two are obviously not at the same level now, but Gasol's basketball IQ is still quite high. When he saw that he couldn't play hard, he began to pull himself to a high position, using the advantage of vision to start playing for his teammates. Assists and mid-range shots are also thanks to his precise mid-range, otherwise Brand would have been completely suppressed.

Gasol has changed, but Brand has not changed. This player, who is at least the top five among active power forwards, began to completely crush the inside of the Grizzlies. At the beginning, he beat Gasol several times in a row. One, when Brown saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately asked the stronger Wright to defend against him. As a result, Brand still used technology to sway the opponent. In the opening few minutes, Brand could be said to have The offensive and defensive ends completely crushed the Grizzlies' inside line.

In addition to Brand, Williams also continued his miraculous assists, but because others were not used to it, they often made some mistakes.

But the good news is that D'Antoni seems to have a soft spot for Williams. Even if he made a mistake, he did not replace Williams.

Insider Brand firmly occupies the top, and outsider Williams leads the way. The biggest profit is Anthony. He no longer needs to be a father and a mother like before. To support the offense, now, he just needs to hand the ball to Brand or Williams and start running.

The most important point here is that other Nuggets players, even Brand, sometimes can't figure out Williams' incredible pass, but Anthony can't. Anthony is like Williams. The teammates who have played together for more than ten years will always appear in the most critical positions at critical moments.

After playing more than half a quarter of the game, Williams was a little surprised. He already had such a tacit understanding of his teammates. Of course, he didn't know that Anthony knew him better. With so many achievements, he is regarded as an unprecedented basketball genius.

In the end, he seemed to intentionally let his teammates run and create scoring opportunities for Anthony. Just in the half of the first game, Williams, the new main point guard, was deeply impressed by Anthony.

Anthony also experienced the refreshing feeling of playing. He used to play with Miller. Miller was very stable in handling the ball, but it always felt like something was missing. At the beginning, he still felt that it was because of tactical problems. I just realized that although Miller is stable, he lacks the aura that a point guard should have, and he doesn't have the idea of ​​​​creating a magic stroke, and this kind of idea is obviously what Williams and Nash and other point guards have now. of.

Playing ball, sometimes it may not be simply putting the ball in place to show the beauty of playing. Perhaps this is the charm of bombardment tactics.

In the current Nuggets team, Williams has played exquisite assists one after another, while Brand is like Optimus Prime in the interior, escorting the Nuggets. It seems that the Nuggets are running and bombing. Quickly end the offense, but with Brand, this running and bombing team seems to have found a sense of defense like never before. It can be said that this is a bombarding team with both offense and defense!

More than halfway through the first quarter, the Grizzlies were already behind by nearly [-] points, and it seemed that the Nuggets were about to continue to fall behind. At this time, the Grizzlies made personnel adjustments, using Bunch? Wells replaced Wright.

Anthony and Brand were also replaced by D'Antoni at this moment, but maybe no one expected that Wells changed the situation on the court as soon as he came up.

At this time, Brand was replaced by Wang Zhizhi. As soon as Wells came on the court, he turned his back and started singles, and it was the kind of singles that relied entirely on his body without much skill.

For the first ball, Wells asked for it near the free throw line. He turned around and hit Wang Zhizhi with great strides. Although Wang Zhizhi has undergone physical training during this period, his defensive level can only be regarded as the average level of the league at best. Wells' powerful singles still suffered a lot. Wells didn't talk nonsense, turned around and shot after a few hits, and made a very tough layup regardless of Wang Zhizhi's block interference.

Wang Zhizhi's block directly hit Wells' hands, and he got two free throw opportunities afterward.

This is only the first time, and the second time, he repeated the same trick. This time Wang Zhizhi was a little afraid, and he was directly shot by him. After playing for 2 minutes in the second half of the first quarter, Wells alone beat the Nuggets. The inside line was completely turned upside down.

Anthony watched Wells kill all directions inside the Nuggets, and suddenly thought of this buddy. This guy seemed to have a nickname of "muscle stick" at the beginning, and it seemed that his reputation was indeed well-deserved.

D'Antoni also frowned deeply. He kept watching the Grizzlies chase the score to 6 points under the leadership of Wells, and he let Brand, who had rested for 2 minutes, play again.

As soon as Brand came on the court, Wells immediately felt the pressure, but he was not completely suppressed. This muscular guy is not a simple stunned young man. He began to use his teammates' screens and passes, and regarded himself as an offense. Thanks to his style of play, he was on par with Brand for a while.

The audience, commentators, and even the players on both sides were stunned by this weird scene. We must know that although Wells is good, he is far from Brand's level.

However, Anthony is not surprised at all. After Wells transferred to the Kings, he was able to kill the Quartet in the interior, and he also had his own three axes. Now that he is on his way to the top, it is normal to have this kind of performance.
