Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 178 Carlisle's Ability
The noise from the fans at the scene was even worse. You must know that Garnett’s Timberwolves team led the league this season. As the core leader of the team, he is the top three in the MVP list, and he is still on the top The MVP of the All-Star Game was actually played by McGrady like this at the moment.

Garnett has a very fiery personality. He is known for his trash talk on the court. He often scolds his opponents so much that they can't lift their heads. Just when everyone thought Garnett was going to explode, he looked at McGrady, then at Ai Ferson, actually touching that bald head, laughed.

Garnett's abnormal behavior stunned the fans for a while, but immediately, they cheered, whether it was for McGrady, for Iverson, or for Garnett, no matter what, this is definitely a game. The happiest scene of the game so far.

Counting the points scored this time, the East team has unknowingly chased the score to 12 points, and is about to enter the 10-point mark. At this moment, perhaps they noticed that the lineup on the field is not Dominating, Sanders replaced Garnett and Yao Ming and replaced Shaquille O'Neal and Cassell.

This personnel adjustment had an immediate effect. To say that Cassel is now the core of the backcourt in the Timberwolves, and his spirit has also risen to the full height. Although he has not reached the ranks of top players, he controls the ball. After that, naturally, he didn't keep giving the ball to Kobe, but started to connect the team.

The good news is that after Kobe reduced the number of times he held the ball, he also saved a lot of physical strength, which actually made him more efficient. Several times the ball was caught by running out of mid-range open space, and his hit rate It is also very impressive.

However, compared to Kobe, Anthony is the best performer in the western team at this moment. He has been playing running and bombing in the Nuggets. The All-Star Game is the closest game to running and bombing. He is very proficient in pick-and-rolls, and he can be said to be like a duck to water at the moment.

Anthony and Garnett do the pick-and-roll. Garnett's pick-and-roll is very strong. Although Brand is already very strong, Anthony, who has really experienced Garnett's pick-and-roll treatment, now feels like Garnett. Teammates are a very happy thing.

When the pick-and-roll came out, Cassel quickly passed the ball over, and after Anthony jumped up, he directly pulled out his hand.

With a sound of "shua", he easily scored two points and scored the first point since the opening of the second half.

Looking back, McGrady singled out Garnett. After a few shakes, he turned around and pulled out with a signature. The ball rubbed against the rim and shot into the net, firmly biting the score for the Eastern team.

Looking back, Anthony changed the target of the pick-and-roll this time, from Garnett to Duncan, but the quality of Duncan's pick-and-roll was not low, and he went down immediately after the pick-and-roll. After Anthony caught the ball, he saw Duncan's perfect There is no need to hesitate at all, just a direct pass. After Duncan got the ball, facing Jermaine O'Neal's supplementary defense, he made a tough rebound and scored, regaining the advantage for the West team.

You come and go on both sides at the moment, the fight is quite fierce, and the time of one quarter has passed before you know it. The team is dead, and the Western team is not to be outdone. Anthony has slowly taken over the offensive banner of the Western team at this moment. Not only can he stand up and score by himself, but when there is a better scoring opportunity, he will never give up. Choosing to pass the ball without hesitation, this is equivalent to connecting the entire team together.

Until the end of the third quarter, the West team still held a 10-point lead. This difference must have been much smaller than before. For a star of their level, it can be wiped out in minutes Points difference.

And just in this quarter, Anthony has raised his score to 20 points, tied with Kobe for the most points in the western team. Others, O'Neal and Duncan both scored 16 points, and Yao Ming scored 12 points. Personally, he is the player with the most points in the Western Conference.

Compared with the Western team, the Eastern team scored very concentrated. McGrady scored 22 points and Iverson scored 28 points. The scoring explosiveness of these two players was fully reflected.

In addition to these two furious players, in the East team, Magloire also scored 12 points, and the others scored more sporadically, and no one scored in double figures.

If this continues, the last quarter of the game will become very interesting. If the Eastern team wins, then the final MVP will be one of Iverson or McGrady, but if the Western team wins, then Kobe, Bryant, Anthony, O'Neal and Duncan are all likely to win the final MVP.

Johnson looked at the technical statistics on the scoreboard, and now he looked at Barkley. Not to mention, this is really what he expected before. The competition between the two sides is getting more and more fierce. The final MVP is really who will win. Anyone is possible. It seems that Barkley has summed up experience from countless failures before, so you really have to be careful if you bet with him in the future.

After a short break, the last quarter of the game between the two sides soon started. Before playing, Carlisle made adjustments to the team's lineup. They replaced Magloire, who scored the most inside points, and put Ah Tester was placed in the starting [-]th position, and the players in the other three positions remained unchanged. They were still Carter, Tracy McGrady and Iverson. The three starting players were put up at the beginning of the game, and it seemed that they were trying to tie the score. up.

With Carlisle's adventure, Sanders must be relatively conservative in his formation at the moment. He is still in the normal rotation, with O'Neal and Brad Miller on the inside. Kirilenko and Kassel.

When these two lineups come up, the Western team mainly plays O'Neal, while the Eastern team does not focus on a certain point, but plays a rhythm, a tactic that is very similar to the Nuggets but not exactly the same, playing fast, but Seek the hit rate, not to solve the battle in the shortest time, but to give the opponent enough pressure when defending, and then use the defensive counterattack to hit the success rate. If there is no chance, they choose to pull Magloire to the outside Go for mid-range shots.

Such a seemingly simple tactical change suddenly blew up the Western team's lineup.

It's really explosive. The Western team mainly focuses on O'Neal, but Artest's moving speed is much faster than Miller's, and Artest is known as the league's strongest defensive small forward player. , His body is absolutely leveraged, and Magloire two people, one tall and one strong, one blocked the bottom road and the other blocked the top road, which actually made O'Neill very uncomfortable. Although he could still score, he was very Compared with the previous domineering slam dunk, it is obviously different.

O'Neal is like this, and the other players in the West team seem to be struggling even more. The core of this lineup is O'Neal. Defensively, there was no room for shots at all, while Cassel was practiced and was intercepted by Iverson, and Miller's three-pointers were also unable to exert their power.

The Eastern team used quick counterattacks to play wonderful cooperation frequently, and Carter seemed to slowly show the desire to attack, and staged two strong dunks in succession, which made the fans on the scene boil for a while.

Perhaps seeing the hope of winning, the Canadian Flyer seems to have finally thought of showing himself. After completing two dunks, he continued to work hard and completed a slam dunk over Miller's head. The whistle blew the ball into the In an instant, his violent abuse of the frame this time also chased the score to only two points.

Carter's sudden outburst is reasonable. Although he didn't play a lot of time in this game, and his desire to attack is not very strong, he is still a superstar after all. He always has to show himself when he comes, and He also seemed to see the reason why McGrady and others broke out. He also respected Iverson very much, so he naturally had to work hard at this moment.

However, compared to Carter's performance, Magloire made the most of his advantages, because O'Neal couldn't expand, and he always stood one step inside the three-point line when attacking. If O'Neal defended, The West team's inside line was emptied at once, and Miller's body couldn't stop McGrady, Carter, and Iverson from bombing in turn. If O'Neal was locked inside and couldn't come out, he would shoot directly from the outside line, and He was also extremely accurate, relying on this hand, he actually suppressed O'Neal in the opening minutes of the fourth quarter.

When the score was down to two points, Sanders couldn't stand it anymore and called a timeout. At this moment, the fans at the scene, including the two commentators on the sidelines, realized that they had overlooked a People, that is Carlisle, this coach is making a fortune in silence, simple personnel adjustments and tactical adjustments, all of a sudden disrupted the rotation of the Western Conference team.

However, maybe Sanders underestimated the opponent. After all, the game was fierce, but the players dominated the rhythm of the game, not the arrangements of the coaches. near.

Although the coaches are all excellent, they still have different reactions and methods. By then and now it is obvious that Carlisle has overwhelmed Sanders.

Sanders made some arrangements on the sidelines, and then sent all the main players on the field. Now he doesn't care about the idea of ​​Kobe winning the MVP at the beginning of the game. Now he wants to prove himself and is worthy of this Western Conference. responsibility of the team coach.

This time, O'Neal was missing from the Western team, and Cassell was replaced. Sanders also realized the advantage of the Eastern team's fast speed, and now he is trying to suppress the opponent in all directions.

The Western team has changed, and the Eastern team has also made personnel adjustments. They replaced Ben Wallace and Magloire. It seems that they are going to completely let go of the fast break.

In the last 6 minutes, the Western Conference led 112:110 by two points, and the final decisive battle is about to start. The fans are waiting to see this rare All-Star battle.
