Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 191 Not a Man
After Anthony scored the goal, he waved his hand. Leonard was really a bit ruthless, and felt that a little more force could kill him, but the referee whistled a foul, so he didn't struggle anymore.

Walking to the free throw line and making a steady free throw, Anthony didn't say anything, and then stepped back to defend.

But at this moment, Anthony didn't notice that there was a trace of resentment in Leonard's eyes.

The Jazz's offense, they still play pick-and-roll tactics, but the Nuggets use a lot of pick-and-roll tactics in their run-and-gun tactics, coupled with the deliberate training of head coach D'Antoni, so they are very good at this moment whether they are top defense or switch defense. It was timely, and the Jazz couldn't find an offensive opportunity for a while. Kirilenko's hasty shot at the last moment didn't touch the basket, and the ball rolled out of bounds directly.

The fans at the scene were in an uproar, but this also became the epitome of the first quarter. The Jazz used Leonard to defend Anthony, but in fact it didn't work at all, even if the referee's judgment scale at home was skewed, but The gap in strength between the two is too big, and it is simply a drop in the bucket, and once Kirilenko goes to defend, Anthony's pass will make their defense instantly leak. Rao Kirilenko moves fast, but after all It is also lack of skills.

At that moment, Kirilenko finally realized the feeling of playing a god-like opponent with pig-like teammates when facing the Nuggets.

But the game has to go on, even if they are behind, the players can't give up, at least they can't let the fans down easily at home.

As the game entered the second half of the second quarter, the perseverance of the Jazz players finally brought a glimmer of hope. The Nuggets players, after excessive fighting, experienced altitude sickness on the court, and their breathing became It was unusually heavy, and my breathing became short of breath. Even moving a little bit was a lot harder than it was at the beginning.

Even Anthony feels a little lack of stamina at the moment. This feeling is difficult to overcome without long-term adaptation.

The Jazz fought back to the wall, and the players worked hard. They are used to playing on the plateau and they have some reactions at the moment, but compared to the Nuggets, they are much better.

Relying on this natural advantage, they played a 15:6 spurt in the last half of the second quarter, narrowing the point difference to less than 10 points.

When the halftime whistle sounded, the players of the Nuggets felt relieved. Their footsteps were extremely heavy at the moment, everyone was sweating profusely, and everyone's muscles were sore. Tightly.

D'Antoni is also aware of the physical condition of the players. He didn't emphasize anything during the intermission, but let the team's trainers keep giving the players body massage. For him, The team's winning or losing has become less important at this moment, and whether the players will be injured is his biggest concern.

After a short halftime, the exhausted players finally came back with a sigh of relief. At the beginning of the second half, D'Antoni deliberately made personnel adjustments, allowing Anthony and Brand to rest for a while before going up, missing two important points. At this point, the advantage of the Nuggets has become no longer obvious, but the abilities of Dior and Wang Zhizhi are not worse than their opponents, and after joining this lineup, there is no clear main point of attack. Although the firepower has weakened, they After playing more passes and catches, it became a lot easier than before.

After the start of the third quarter, the double reverse fell into a stalemate. Until halfway through the third quarter, the physical strength of the Nuggets players began to have problems, and the point difference was narrowed step by step.

The fans at the scene saw the Jazz staged a good game of chasing points, and it seemed that they were about to overtake. They began to stand up from the stands and cheered for the home team desperately.

Even the commentators on the sidelines began to point out D'Antoni's formation, thinking that he was a bit overbearing. Although there is a certain gap in strength between the two teams, this approach will definitely make the team Fall into passiveness or even failure.

The point difference between the two sides was still being narrowed until the second half of the third quarter. When the point difference was reduced to only 5 points, D'Antoni finally called a timeout, and came up and down, throwing the cloth Rand and Anthony were both substituted.

Such ups and downs immediately made the commentator on the sidelines have another climax, thinking that D'Antoni had underestimated the Jazz from the beginning to the end, and threatened that he would definitely pay the price for it.

But in fact, after Brand and Anthony played, the advantages of the Nuggets were immediately reflected. Although Diaw and Williams were missing, they were better used than Brand and Anthony. Individual coping ability can revitalize the whole team very well, and the presence of two three-point shooters, Korver and Durin, has opened up a lot of space for their offense.

So as soon as Anthony and Brand came on the stage, they quickly suppressed the Jazz's offense. The Jazz caught up with the point difference before, but failed to overtake, and now they seem passive.

Although the players of the Jazz are adapted to the environment of playing on the plateau, they are just players after all, so after playing so much, they also had to enter a random change, and the Nuggets seized this wave of opportunities and quickly put the two The score was widened, 5 points turned into 10 points, and then changed into 15 points. The Jazz were slowly beaten back to their original shape.

By the time the Jazz replaced the main players, they were already 18 points behind the Nuggets, and at this time, there were less than 2 minutes before the end of the third quarter.

In the Nuggets' round, Anthony was holding the ball outside the three-point line at the moment, and Leonard was still in front of him. Although Anthony was beaten by Anthony most of the time throughout the game, I have to say that Leonard De is doing his best to defend, and with some help from the referee's whistle, he can really defend against Anthony's offense for a few rounds sometimes.

At this moment, after Anthony held the ball, he spread his legs and held it desperately, preventing Anthony from breaking through.

Anthony felt Leonard's defensive intentions, and his opinion of him changed a little, but after thinking about it, he was merciless under his feet, and the two crossed steps that swayed left and right suddenly rushed in.

At this moment, Brand on the inside also mentioned the position of the free throw line to help Anthony with the pick-and-roll.

Anthony's shaking has made Leonard unable to keep up, and Brand's pick-and-roll completely blocked Leonard, so at this moment Anthony and Brand directly changed a defender, Anthony Directly on the Kirilenko.

This result was not good. Anthony glanced back after the substitution, and immediately found that Brand did not stop in place after blocking, but went down to the bottom corner on the right. When he saw this, he shook his hand directly. The ball was given to Brand, and he took Kirilenko to the left three-point line.

Brand received the ball very close to the basket, so after receiving the ball, he turned around and took three steps to start a layup.

At such a short distance, he was defended by Leonard, who was half a head shorter, and his weight was not at the same level. Such an opportunity was very easy for Brand, and it could be said that he was sure of it.

But just after Brand took two steps, he suddenly fell to the ground.

The muffled sound of "bang" startled Anthony who was running beyond the three-point line. When he looked back, he saw Brand curled up on the ground in pain, covering his ankles with both hands. , the expression looked very ferocious.

Anthony saw Brand's actions and didn't know what happened, but at this moment, Nene suddenly rushed in front of Leonard, waving his fists as if to fight.

Anthony saw that Nene was about to fight suddenly, so he hurriedly wanted to go up and pull him. You must know that this game was so hard to channel now, if Nene was sent off, it would really not be worth it at all.

But when Anthony came closer, he heard what Nene was shouting: "Coward, tiptoe, you are not a man!"

Anthony looked at Leonard again, and now he spread his hands out, making a face of innocence, but his eyes never met Nene's. Seeing this, he finally understood something.

At this moment, the team doctor rushed onto the field and kept communicating with Brand. The big screen at the scene also began to play the scene of Brand falling just now.

Anthony looked up and saw the scene on the big screen, and his pupils closed suddenly. Just when Brand turned around for a layup, Leonard actually stretched out his foot on purpose. Let Brand fall to the ground and never get up again.

"Have you had enough trouble? I told you that I didn't do it on purpose." At this moment, Leonard seemed to have had enough of Nene's constant spitting, and said provocatively.

Nene had always been irritable, but now that Leonard was so angry, he couldn't bear it, and pushed Leonard out suddenly.

Leonard's body is a full size smaller than Nene's. With this push, the visual effect is very large, as if Leonard was thrown out and fell to the ground staggeringly.

The situation changed suddenly, and the conflict between the two sides rose from a quarrel to hands and feet. Collins, who was standing next to Leonard, suddenly rushed towards Nene and punched Nene on the arm. .

Collins punched Nene, and Bell next to him immediately returned a punch. You must know that he is now the one who dares to lock Kobe's throat, so how could he not be in such a scene.

Bell went up, the Jazz's Osterotta also rushed up, and the Nuggets' Brand also went up. For a while, the two sides suddenly staged a full-scale martial arts in the middle of the court.
