Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 21 Buckle!

Miller of the Nuggets took possession of the ball and advanced to half court. The fans at the Pepsi Center also recovered from Carter's flying dunk and continued to cheer for the home team.

In this round of offense, Anthony did not participate too much. The ball was guided a few times, and Miller and Nene played a pick-and-roll and shot directly.

"Bang Dang" sound, the ball was in Bosh's bag.

At this moment, a blue figure quickly swept towards the half court, and the jersey number "15" was faintly visible on the shaking jersey.

Carter has been flying under the fast break.

Bosh flicked his hand, and the ball flew over the heads of the Nuggets players.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and the basket shook violently.

Carter took a step inside the free throw line and made a 360-degree turn for a dunk.

The Pepsi Center fell into deathly silence once again.

Fast, too fast!
Violent, too violent!
In less than 2 minutes of the opening game, Carter has already staged flying dunks twice, and each time is more exciting. He directly regards the game as a dunk performance!
Miller retreated to the half with a frustrated expression. He was not the first to play against the Raptors, nor was it the first time to see Carter perform a violent slam dunk, but Carter seemed very excited today, as if he had taken a stimulant. .

Anthony also shook his head bitterly and stepped back, but just as he passed by Carter, he suddenly heard Carter say to him: "Melo, I heard you staged the death button?"

Anthony was taken aback for a moment, and when he looked up again, Carter had already turned around, leaving only his back.

At this moment, Miller beside Anthony heard what Carter said, and understood why Carter was so excited. It turned out that the NBA's first dunk would be provoking Anthony: You can dunk, I can dunk better than you !
"Melo, why don't you show him one too?" Miller suddenly turned his head and said to Anthony.

Dunk with Carter?Thank you for thinking it out!

Anthony frowned and glanced at Miller, but then he nodded.

Anthony has stayed in the United States for such a period of time, and he has also understood and integrated into the American basketball culture. He advocates individual heroism here, and he must respond to provocations here.

He didn’t respond to James’ dunk in the Challenger League before. Others could understand that he was not feeling well, but now that he is in good health and his technical and tactical ability is recognized by others, it is obviously not right for him not to respond at this time. It's the way Carmelo Anthony should be.

Miller found Nene and Camby to whisper a few words, and then advanced the ball into the half court.

Just as Anthony was positioned near the three-second zone, Nene and Camby made a double pick-and-roll from left to right. As soon as Anthony ran, there was a gap in front of him.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Miller hit the ground suddenly, and the ball landed in Anthony's hands accurately.

Anthony received the ball, faced Konglan, ran up, and jumped when he was two steps away from the basket. The movement of the scholar Carter in the dunk contest was to change hands and dunk directly under the crotch.

"boom!"

A loud bang.

After Anthony dunked, he hung his hands on the basket and did a pull-up, then jumped down and pointed at Carter with his index finger, full of provocation.

Anthony copied Carter's dunk action and pointed at Carter. The fans at the scene burst into high spirits, and the loud shouts almost knocked over the top of the arena.

Had Barkley been there, he would have jumped up from his chair exaggeratedly.

Carter's face darkened. He didn't expect that Anthony, a rookie who had just entered the league, would dare to provoke him and imitate his moves. This was simply a naked slap in the face.

No sooner had Williams dribbled the ball past half court than he couldn't wait to pass the ball.

The rest of the Raptors pulled away sensibly.

Leonard had a bitter look on his face. He was really unlucky today. Anthony actually provoked Carter. It was his defender who suffered. He has been fighting in the league for so many years. God is naturally familiar with it, how much he resents Coach Bzdelik now for letting him defend Carter.

Carter broke through, and Leonard tried his best to keep up, but there was still a gap in strength between the two, and Carter quickly broke through to the penalty area.

It was Camby who guarded the basket. After all, he was also an old player. He knew that Carter would never pass the ball at this time, so he threw it boldly and confidently.

Seeing Camby rushing forward, Carter jumped up and flew up.

Camby flew towards the ball in Carter's hand with both hands, and Leonard also jumped up, forming an air barrier with Camby one after the other.

At this moment, Carter suddenly pulled the ball down at an incredible angle, and then the whole person flashed past Camby's side, and he floated under the basket, and then raised his hands again.

Amazing bounce!
"boom!"

A muffled sound.

Carter dunked with one hand, and Leonard squatted down to protect himself when he fell. At this time, unfortunately, he became the background of Carter's dunk, and it was still under the crotch.

After dunking, Carter shook a few times before jumping off, slapping his chest with both hands and screaming excitedly.

The fans in the Pepsi Center once again fell into the ice cellar. They are probably about to catch a cold...

Carter raised a middle finger directly at Anthony, which was much more direct than Anthony's provocation.

Anthony's face was livid, not only facing Carter's provocation with the middle finger, there is a saying in China that there are no more than three times, this is the third time, and next time he must personally stop him.

In the Nuggets' round, Anthony beat Peterson directly, using his body and big butt to push towards the inside line, turned around near the reasonable collision zone and forced a layup, scoring a rebound and causing a foul by Peterson.

The extra penalty was hit steadily, and the score came to 5:7, and the Raptors took the lead.

This time, before halftime, Carter asked for the ball from Williams. Obviously, he was really angry.

Anthony walked to Leonard's side and told him the request to switch defenses. Leonard agreed without thinking about it. Now he really doesn't want to face Carter directly. After all, old players want more face.

Carter dribbled the ball for half the court, and saw that the opposing player was replaced by Anthony. He was immediately happy. Although the dunk in front was very domineering, his defender was not Anthony who provoked him. At this moment, Anthony came to the door by himself , had the opportunity to personally teach this rookie, how could he not laugh.

Seeing Carter's smile, Anthony didn't react too much. Although he had the courage to face Carter, Anthony also knew that even Carmelo Anthony was unable to face Carter when he first entered the league.

The Raptors players still consciously pulled away to both sides, taking away their defenders by the way. In the huge half court, only Carter and Anthony who defended him were left near the free throw line.

Carter took a deep breath, dribbled the ball twice, hit it twice, then turned around, half turned around, and dribbled the ball under the crotch. A series of technical movements were carried out very smoothly.

Anthony leaned forward to feel the change of Carter's center of gravity, while he firmly guarded the defensive position without losing his position.

After Carter's continuous actions, he found that Anthony was unmoved. He felt more appreciation for this rookie who dared to challenge him, but it was impossible for him to just give up.

He continued to hit, shook his shoulders left and right twice, and then turned outward, making a fake turn to shoot.

Anthony felt that Carter's center of gravity was turning sharply to the right, and then looked at the movements of his hands, wondering if Carter was going to shoot?In his impression, Carter's dunk is extremely sharp, but as an NBA superstar, he must have great confidence in shooting.

After hesitating for a moment, Anthony still jumped to the right to defend.

At this moment, Carter suddenly stopped turning right, and then took a big step to the right, followed by going inside to kill the general.

Anthony was taken aback when he saw Carter's actions. After all, he was not as experienced as a superstar like Carter, so he was stunned at this moment, but he didn't give up. After all, Carter only took a step forward, and his The first step was very fast, so fast that it could almost make up the gap of this step. He also accelerated suddenly, almost leaning against Carter side by side.

Seeing that Anthony was able to react and leaned over, Carter appreciated Anthony even more, but his movements also accelerated. After stepping on the last step of the three steps, when he was more than one meter away from the basket, he went straight to the basket. He jumped up and flew up.

Anthony flew up at about the same time.

Carter's action of pulling the ball back will repeat the same trick, but Anthony is not fooled, he can only raise his hand again to prepare for a dunk.

At this moment, Anthony, who had already been ready to go, suddenly stretched out his hand and touched the ball in Carter's hand with his fingertips.

"boom!"

Carter made a powerful slam dunk, and the entire basket made a "buzzing" sound.

However, the ball hit the basket and bounced directly into the air.

Anthony tapped lightly, making the ball's placement a little easier, and Carter's dunk flew!
The moment Anthony landed, he jumped up again, grabbed the falling ball in his hand, and was about to launch a fast break when he picked up the ball.

"beep!"

A whistle sounded suddenly, and the referee at the bottom line pointed to Anthony with his right hand, indicating that the thug had fouled.

Anthony stood there holding the ball, he obviously didn't even touch Carter's hand just now.

"Hush!..."

Nearly [-] fans booed loudly.

The referee was unmoved and still called Anthony a foul, and then signaled the players to stand up and prepare to give Carter a free throw.

"Hey, rookie, don't fight again next time!" Carter leaned in front of Anthony, almost face-to-face.

Obviously, this sentence reminded Anthony that this is a star whistle.

Anthony got angry after a "crack", this man could be so shameless, he pushed Carter away abruptly.

"Whoa whoa……"

Carter raised his hands and stepped back, as if you don't want to do it.

At this moment, Davis, a player from the Raptors next to him, saw Anthony pushing Carter. He quickly stepped up and pushed Anthony. After all, the strength of the inside player was relatively strong. This pushed Anthony back directly. Four or five steps.

"Grass!"

Seeing two people bullying Anthony, Nene came up and pushed Davis harder. His strength was much stronger than Davis, and he pushed Davis to the ground.

This forceful blow completely ignited the tempers of the players on both sides, and they rushed up one after another, pushing and shoving, and they were about to fight.

"Toot! Toot!..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, the referee rushed into the crowd and whistled chaotically.

The security personnel on the sidelines, including the coach, all rushed to the court at once.
