Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 200
Seeing that Williams handed over the ball to Bell, who can be said to be the worst dribbler among the three, Bowen glanced at it, judged the situation on the field immediately with experience, and then directly went to Bell rushed over, ready to use physical confrontation to break the ball.

Anthony was running forward at the moment, but his eyes were also scanning the surroundings. He saw Williams restraining Parker, and he turned his head to see Bowen running towards Bell. He ate Bowen once in the regular season. Unfortunately, he immediately thought of the small movements that Bowen might have. During this kind of high-speed exercise, it is very easy to get injured, so he didn't wait for Bowen to make a movement, and directly shouted at Bell: "Raja, be careful of small movements! !"

The shout was so loud that even the audience in the front row heard it. Although Anthony didn't mention Bowen's name, anyone with a discerning eye would know who it was after seeing the situation on the field.

Bell naturally heard it now, so after seeing Bowen coming up, he acted more thoroughly. He threw the ball out and threw it to Anthony in the middle, with a smile on the corner of his mouth: Are you Bowen going to do it? Small tricks, I just don't dribble, I'll see how you do it, I'll piss you off!
The ball is in Anthony's hands, and he has already passed the center line at this moment, speeding up the dribble and pushing forward.

Bowen was obviously taken aback when he saw Bell pass the ball so quickly. It was obviously too late to go back to chase Anthony, but Parker immediately defended him.

When Anthony saw Parker coming, he didn't stick to the ball and threw it directly to Williams on the right.

3-on-2 is easy to say, as long as players share the ball with each other and have a certain ability to catch the ball on the move, they can cooperate very easily. On the contrary, if teammates want to score independently, it will be counterproductive .

Fortunately, these three players of the Nuggets are obviously players who can share the ball and have a certain ability to catch the ball, so the action at this moment seems to be very smooth.

Seeing the fast break of the Nuggets, the fans at the scene couldn't help but stare at the direction of the Nuggets' attack. The originally noisy arena suddenly became a little inexplicably quiet.

"Bang bang!..."

The ball hit the ground and made a rhythmic knocking sound, as if hitting the heart of a person, causing the hearts of the fans to beat.

Williams dribbles the ball forward quickly, and after entering the three-point line, he begins to advance to the center.

After retreating to the three-point line, Parker and Bowen's defensive range can also be expanded, and the disadvantage of 2-defense and 3-defense has been narrowed. They only need to separate the defensive areas on both sides.

At this moment, Parker saw Williams rushing fiercely, as if he was about to make a layup, he quickly flew to kill him, and then stuck to him.

At this time, Bowen's defensive experience came out. He immediately abandoned Bell, who was relatively weak in offensive ability and positioned on the left, and turned his defense focus to Anthony.

All of a sudden, it is equivalent to sealing off the right flank, so many people are separated from the right side to the left side. It is not so simple to pass it successfully and quickly, even for William The same goes for a passer of James' level.

It’s just that there are some things, thinking is one thing, reality is another. Just when Parker and Bowen have formed a very good defensive system according to tacit understanding, Williams suddenly surprised everyone. Throw the ball straight up, heading straight to the middle.

Anthony is still one step away from the free throw line at this moment, and Bowen has basically moved in front of Anthony. It is simply unrealistic for Anthony to complete the lob.

However, the ball did not fly into the air in front of Anthony, but flew directly over,

"Pass error?" Bowen noticed the ball flying over his head, and a trace of doubt flashed in his heart. He immediately thought that Williams made a hasty pass error, and he turned his head to see where the ball went.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, the ball hit the backboard directly, and then bounced back violently.

At this moment, Anthony suddenly jumped up, headed directly towards the bouncing ball, grabbed the ball in mid-air, and then pressed it hard towards the basket.

Bowen was still watching the ball, and suddenly felt a black shadow flying over his head. Years of playing experience made him dodge immediately, but after all, he was facing the basket and couldn't see the shadow behind him. No matter how fast the action is, it will still be too late.

"Oh!"

With a dull bang, Anthony stayed in the air for about a second, then arched his body, and directly poured the ball into the basket with such force that the whole basket shook violently. .

As for Bowen, he became the background emperor in such a miserable way.

In fact, Williams has no passing mistakes at all. He is a natural assister, so he analyzed the most effective scoring method at the first time. Of course, this pass is a bit unbelievable. Anthony's foundation, otherwise, if it was Bell, he would definitely not dare to do so.

Anthony's passionate dunk immediately made the fans at the scene climax collectively. They all stood up from their seats and made exaggerated backward movements to express their excitement. They were used to this feeling and also Enjoy it.

"Haha..." Seeing that Anthony was so domineering, and he was sure to hit the top five dunks, Ingrash was also grinning from ear to ear. Anthony's performance at the moment made his previous unhappiness disappear completely.

Some people are happy and some are worried. Ingrash is happy. As his partner, Collins is obviously not in a good mood at the moment. He is silent and doesn't know what to write.

After Anthony's wonderful dunk, the morale of the Nuggets has also increased a lot, but the Spurs did not mess up because of this. They replaced Turkog with Manu Ginobili at this time. Lu, let Bowen play the small forward position.

This time, the Nuggets seemed to be in trouble. The presence of the Big Three of the Spurs at the same time, Parker's speed, Duncan's stability inside, Ginobili's tandem and serpentine breakthrough, immediately doubled the defensive pressure on the Nuggets, especially It's Nene who is backing a foul now, and he doesn't dare to make a move. This makes Mutombo's defensive pressure in his senior year extremely high.

Coupled with the fact that Ginobili and Parker are not the kind of players who rely on strength to force layups, but rely on speed and technology, Mutombo's defensive role in this is once again weakened.

In this way, the already weak defense of the Nuggets became almost impossible to watch. After a few rounds, some Nuggets fans booed a few times.

Just playing like this, until 7 or 8 minutes into the first quarter, the Spurs expanded their advantage. At 32:22, the point difference between the two sides came to 10 points for the first time.
"The Nuggets' defense makes their offensive efforts completely useless. If they don't solve the defensive problem, I guess they will be beaten by the Spurs in less than halftime." Collins saw the Nuggets After falling behind, he finally found a little balance in his heart, and immediately spoke.

Ingrash smiled and said nothing. He, who is familiar with running and bombing tactics, seems to have discovered some clues.

At this time, it has almost entered the personnel adjustment. The "GDP" of the Spurs only leaves Ginobili, and the other two are off the court. After that, the other main players were still on the field.

Popovich on the sidelines couldn't understand this somewhat unexpected formation.

The main force of the Nuggets faced the Spurs lineup, and soon, the point difference was narrowed step by step. By the end of the first quarter, they had chased the point difference to only 6 points, 39:33.

The point difference is being narrowed, but Popovich is not too worried, because when the main force of the Nuggets is still consuming energy on the court, his main force has already rested off the court.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the main players of the Nuggets were also resting off the court. The substitutes on both sides were fighting, and the point difference has always maintained that gap.

However, Popovich switched to the main force not long after the beginning of this quarter. His main players have already obtained enough rest time at this time, and they will play immediately.

But what made Popovich and the Spurs a little unexpected was that while the Spurs replaced the main force, the Nuggets actually replaced all the main players except Mutombo.

Popovich shook his head when he saw this. This is only the first game of the series. With such a large consumption, even if the players are not injured, they will still be very tired on the court. Obviously D'Antoni is still a rookie in the playoffs.

But immediately, Popovich found out that he was wrong, because he found that it was not the Nuggets that were struggling to realize on the court, but the Spurs. The Nuggets were still playing fast, and the Spurs could keep up, but it took a long time. After that, the player appeared to be very out of breath.

It was only here that Popovich discovered that he had been tricked. He saw the team's lead and the helplessness of the Nuggets to increase the playing time of the main players. He just ignored the rhythm of the game. The Nuggets let the main players play more. Some time is not helpless, but to continue that rhythm and bring the rhythm of the substitute.

In the fast offensive and defensive battles, the main players of the Nuggets are very adaptable, and quickly resolve the battles. In comparison, their physical exertion is not particularly huge.

Popovich hurriedly called a timeout to tell the players not to follow the Nuggets' rhythm.

But at this time, the players had obviously lost control. Except for Duncan who was still blushing and heartbeating, even Parker and Ginobili were panting heavily at the moment.

This is not simply a matter of strength, but a matter of playing rhythm. Players playing in an unadapted rhythm, even if they are stronger, will become like running in a swamp, which is very strenuous.
