Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 25 The so-called defensive champion
Bowen is 2.01 meters tall, which is not much different from Anthony's 2.03m height. As soon as Anthony holds the ball, he sticks to the defense like brown sugar. As a veteran who has been in the league for 7 years, his defense It may have entered the point of perfection.

Anthony took a few dribbles and tried a few crossovers, but Bowen's defensive position remained solid, and Anthony knew right away that tonight was going to be a rough night.

Anthony looked back at his teammates. His teammates were trying to run, but without exception, they were all caught in hand-to-hand combat with the Spurs players. Even without the ball, it was very difficult for them to run out of the gap.

After observing for a while, Anthony turned around and could only choose to attack by himself.

The face frame is not good, Anthony took a big step, and started to play singles with his back as soon as he lifted his butt. He knew that Carmelo Anthony's big butt was a sharp offensive weapon, and he often went to the inside with an arched arch.

He arched back vigorously. After all, Bowen's body was much thinner than Anthony's, so he was forced to take a step back.

But at this moment, Anthony suddenly saw a hand approaching his arms in a very concealed manner. Fortunately, he had seen Bowen's defense before, and he was prepared in his heart. Avoiding the ball being taken away.

Bowen took out the ball and missed it, with a look of surprise on his face. You must know that he was very concealed just now, not to mention a rookie like Anthony, even many veterans will be caught unfortunately. After a push, his face sank, he put away his underestimation of the enemy, stabilized his center of gravity, and took another swipe at the right time.

Anthony had already put most of his attention on Bowen. The moment Bowen stretched out his hand, he had already noticed that, with a thought, he suddenly stretched out his hand to block the path of Bowen's goal.

Bowen was caught off guard and poked Anthony's hand.

"Referee, foul!"

While protecting the ball, Anthony raised his hand to signal the referee.

The referee was attracted by Anthony's shout. He looked at Bowen and then at Anthony, shook his head, and did not blow the whistle in his mouth.

This is not foul?Damn referee!Anthony cursed in his heart, and arched a few times with some depression, but this time Bowen firmly held his center of gravity and remained unmoved.

After such a period of entanglement, the time has entered within 5 seconds, Anthony's shoulders shook a few times, he turned around and shot back.

When Bowen saw Anthony shooting, he yanked the corner of his clothes in a very subtle way, and then raised his hand quickly.

The moment Anthony jumped up, he felt that the corner of his clothes was pulled suddenly, and he lost control of his center of gravity, and the direction of aiming at the moment of shooting was a little off.

With a bang, the ball hit the front of the basket and was captured by Duncan who was guarding the basket.

"Foul!" Anthony yelled at the referee this time with a bit of a growl. Before crossing, he hated this kind of people who played tricks and couldn't tolerate it.

"Hush!..."

The fans at the scene didn't care who was right or who was wrong. When they saw Anthony yelling at the referee, they booed wildly.

The referee ignored Anthony this time. He was so depressed that he could only turn around and give Bowen a hard look.

Bowen shrugged, meaning none of my business, and jumped back into the offense.

As soon as Anthony got angry, the conflict with Carter last time appeared in his mind. He took a deep breath and didn't bother with Bowen anymore. He turned around and ran towards his own half.

Bowen looked at Anthony who retreated, and muttered: "This kid is interesting."

The Spurs' offensive rounds were full of pick-and-rolls like a withdrawal, and Anthony was also extremely uncomfortable being entangled by Bowen.

At this time, Ginobili with the ball, the "demon knife" from Argentina, used Nesterovic's pick-and-roll to break through the penalty area quickly. The snake-shaped breakthrough route made Leonard, a veteran, very difficult to follow. , Seeing that he was about to reach the basket, Nene had to come out of the penalty area to defend.

Duncan at the basket saw Nene go out, and moved very cleverly to the other side of the basket.

Anthony was entangled with Bowen in the three-second zone at this time. He noticed Duncan's movement. Having watched the Spurs attack the ball countless times, he immediately realized that Ginobili was going to pass the ball. He took a sudden step and wanted to take advantage of it. Take your own quick first step to break the ball.

But the moment he got up, Bowen blocked his way without any suspense.

Anthony is completely angry, what the hell am I defending and not attacking, is it necessary to be so lingering!

Anthony reached out and slammed Bowen's body away, squeezing past him to steal the ball.

Bowen took advantage of the situation and fell, his whole body on all fours, sitting on the ground with an innocent face, his hands spread out and looking at the referee.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle blew, and Anthony made a defensive foul!
Anthony frowned suddenly, but he was really anxious just now, so he could only admit it.

Facing Bowen's stalking, Anthony didn't dare to go to the defense for a while, because he had already committed a foul on the sidelines. If he made a second foul in the first quarter, he would have nothing to do in the rest of the quarter. No need to fight.

The Spurs passed the ball a few times from the outside. Parker used the connection between Duncan and Nesterovic to get to the basket with two pick-and-rolls. Thug foul.

Nene yelled at the referee and said there was no foul. Fortunately, Camby next to him grabbed him, which prevented the referee from making further penalties. It was also fortunate that the "zero tolerance system" hadn't come out at that time, otherwise it wouldn't have been used at all. Canbila, the "T" in the referee's hand has already flown by.

After Duncan scored, his face was expressionless, he walked to the free throw line and made a free throw, and then retreated back without saying a word.

As the greatest power forward in NBA history, his face is kept in a natural state most of the time.

Anthony was thinking while running. Bowen had too many small defensive moves, and it was easy for him to take advantage of the technical means alone. It is definitely not a simple matter to easily break through Bowen's defense.

In the frontcourt, Anthony did not fall to the free throw line as he did in the previous round, but ran to the bottom foot.

Miller was going to give the ball to Anthony for singles according to the coach's arrangement. When he saw Anthony suddenly go to the bottom, although he was puzzled, he didn't panic, and then he stretched out his hand and made a "2" gesture. Run inside tactics.

Camby and Nene were also puzzled by Anthony's move, but then they saw Miller's gesture, and the two insiders understood each other and made a pick-and-roll for each other, and changed defenders in the next second.

Camby pulled Duncan, who was defending him, to the free throw line, and Nene leaned against Nesterovic, trying to stay in position, and reached out to signal Miller to give the ball.

Leonard and Anthony fell to the left and right, leaving Nene and Nesterovic at the bottom of the basket. Miller swung the ball and the ball was in Nene's hands.

"Defend! Defend!..."

The fans at the scene habitually shouted their slogans. As the team with the fewest points conceded in the league, this slogan has been with Spurs fans for too long.

Nesterovic is 2.13m tall and weighs 225 pounds. He is at the same level as Nene in terms of height and weight. However, as a Slovenian, he has inherited the tough style of players from the Republic of Yugoslavia. After hitting it twice, I couldn't advance a point.

At this moment, a blue figure suddenly slammed towards the basket from the sideline of the bottom foot.

The number "15" floating on the back of the jersey is Anthony.

Anthony had been looking for a way to break through Bowen's defense. After thinking about it, he felt that he could only use his teammates. However, after he really fell to the ground, he found that Bowen was still stalking him, as if he was a delicious piece of meat. , and Bowen was the one who was hungry.

After being entangled for a few times, Nene had already started playing singles. Anthony observed for a while and suddenly had an idea, and jumped out of the court.

Bowen stuck close to Anthony, blocked Anthony's offensive route as much as possible, and even used many small tricks secretly to prevent Anthony from running, but he never expected that Anthony would jump out of the field.

He froze for a moment.

Just at this moment, Anthony had already rushed to the basket from the outside, and it was too late for him to react.

"Nene!"

Anthony yelled as he ran to the basket.

Nene had already spotted Anthony when he ran into the court. As soon as Anthony opened his mouth, he hit the ground back, and the ball flew past Nesterovic and directly into Anthony's hands.

Anthony catches the ball and pulls up from the spot, gliding towards the basket.

"boom!"

With a loud noise, Anthony dunked vigorously with both hands.

The cheers of the fans stopped abruptly.

At the home court of the Spurs, every time the opposing team scores, it can be said to be bumpy. The Spurs fans can hardly see the scene of the opposing player dunking on their own basket, but now, they never thought that in the season In the opening game of the [-] game, the scene of a vigorous slam dunk was actually staged.

As if to vent, Anthony did not jump off immediately after dunking, but did two pull-ups directly at the basket.

"Hush!..."

The depression in the hearts of the fans was completely transformed into overwhelming boos, venting their contempt and disdain for Anthony.

"Oh, my God, Melo seems to be provoking Bowen, oh no, he is provoking the Spurs, this kid is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers." When the commentator Brown saw Anthony's actions, he couldn't help saying to the side Johnson said.

"Haha, I like this style. This is an NBA player. Champions are not born, but you must have a heart that dares to challenge the champion." For Anthony, "Magician" feels more and more fond of him.

Anthony jumped off the rim, showing a melon-like smile, facing Bowen who came over, and said meaningfully: "Is your home rim pretty strong..."

Bowen's face darkened. He seldom lost his position, and he seldom allowed his defenders to score slam dunks. The most difficult thing for him to accept was that the rookie in front of him was actually provoking him!
