Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 26 Attacking the Kaleidoscope

Bowen's basketball career has not been smooth sailing, not only was it not smooth, it can even be said to be extremely bumpy. After he participated in the draft after college, no one cared about him. He didn't re-enter the NBA until he played overseas for four years. After entering the NBA, he also had bumps and bumps Touch, it wasn't until he came to the Spurs that he found his own position and became a well-known defensive champion in the NBA.

However, he also knows that his physical fitness is not outstanding, and small movements inevitably become part of his defense. It is only because he has mastered the referee's scale and knows how to measure, and gradually gained experience, that he has achieved success. He defends the name.

Seeing Anthony backing back triumphantly, Bowen suddenly showed a dark smile on his face, as if he was about to strike hard.

2:5
After more than a minute into the game, the Nuggets trailed by 3 points.

During the Spurs' offensive round, Anthony no longer obsessed with fighting with Bowen, but concentrated on interpreting the Spurs' offense.

The angle of view on the court is completely different from that on TV. You can only see a corner of the TV live broadcast, but here you can see everyone's movement.

Bowen was surprised that Anthony didn't move, but he didn't know what Anthony wanted to do, so he didn't make the next move.

Ginobili's breakthrough played a vital role in last year's finals. Facing Leonard, a defender who is not considered a good defender, he naturally used it with ease. In this wave of offense, he used his teammates' In a pick-and-roll, he successfully reached the basket, and Camby scored in a misplaced single.

The Spurs scored in all of the first three rounds, while the Nuggets only relied on Anthony to score 2 points. The gap in strength is clear at a glance.

When Anthony saw this, he also realized an important thing. Looking at the defense of the Spurs and the Nuggets, the biggest difference is the difference between the individual and the system. The Nuggets mostly defend man-to-man. As long as they encounter a pick-and-roll defense, they will immediately lose their position, while the Spurs are defending a zone defense, sometimes 2-3 zone defense, sometimes 3-2 zone defense. It is easy for the Spurs to score points, but it is extremely difficult for the Nuggets to score.

Coach Bzdelik may have seen this, but his mental combat methods were useless at all.

The Lakers once had a player named Vujacic. He worked very hard on defense, almost with all his strength, but he was still a big defensive colander because he didn't know how to judge the defensive position. The players are like this, and the team is even more so.

Anthony was completely disappointed with Bzdelik at this time. This is the real gap between the coaches. If Popovich is an adult, then Bzdelik can only be regarded as a child who has passed lactation.

It's just that now, the game has to go on, and it's impossible for Anthony to admit defeat. If there is a qualitative difference between the two defensively, then there is only one way left.

Offense, only unsolvable offense can break the perfect defensive system.

"Miller, give me the ball later, I'll attack." Anthony said to Miller while running.

Miller didn't know what was going on in Anthony's mind. Judging from how difficult it was for Nene to play against Nesterovic just now, it can be said that the Nuggets are at a disadvantage in all positions except the small forward position. When performing team rotation, the team needs a breakthrough to drive the team's offense, and now Anthony is the only choice. As the brain of the team, Miller is also very aware of this.

Anthony fell to the free throw line, and there was no room to think about it. Judging from these few rounds, the free throw line is the starting point of Bowen's defense.

The rest of the Nuggets began to spread out at Miller's signal. After trying a few rounds, they also realized that it was impossible to play tactics like they had in practice.

As soon as Anthony settled down, Miller's pass came into his hands.

The other teammates of the Spurs did not intend to come to help defend, and Bowen's defense made them feel at ease just like Duncan's board.

After Anthony held the ball, he first made a probing step, followed by a sweep with a gun. He already had an idea in his mind and did not give Bowen room to make small moves.

Bowen didn't expect that Anthony would suddenly change his offensive method. Anthony didn't move at the moment, and he didn't dare to make small moves. He just opened his hands to block Anthony's breakthrough route.

Anthony suddenly raised his hand, pretending to make a shot.

Bowen saw Anthony's movement and rushed forward again.

At this moment, Anthony's raised hands suddenly moved aside, and then slammed into Bowen who was rushing over.

"boom!"

The two of them collided heavily, and Bowen let out a muffled snort.

Anthony smiled at the corner of his mouth. Don’t you, Bowen, like to make small movements? Then I won’t give you room to make small movements. I will keep a distance from you in front of me. Now I will be firmly with you and see how you stretch out your hand.

After all, Bowen was a little thinner than Anthony, and he suffered a dark loss from the collision just now. Before he could react, Anthony had already hit him the second time.

There was another "bang". Anthony turned his body sideways this time, and his elbow directly hit his chest.

Anthony didn't mean to stop at all. Although he knew that this style of play was exhausting, he had the initiative to attack only when he was scared of Bowen.

"boom!……"

Anthony hit Bowen's chest again and again, as if he was punching it one after another. Bowen's face was green at this time, but it was also difficult to say, because Anthony's current action is not considered a foul. The most he could say was to use his body to bully him.

Bowen endured it silently, because he knew that this style of play was a war of attrition, and Anthony couldn't last a few rounds. As long as he persisted until the end, he would be the winner.

"Melo played very tough, Bowen doesn't seem to be very happy..." Brown on the commentary stand frowned and said.

"Well, Melo played very well. He knows where his strengths are, and he also knows what Bowen's defensive corners are. This offensive method is too perfect. To be honest, he is really recruiting more and more. I like it. Alright!" The love in his heart could no longer satisfy the magician, and he finally couldn't help but praise Anthony verbally.

"Haha, it seems that Erwin, you are finally looking for your successor..." Brown responded with a smile.

"boom!"

Anthony suddenly increased his strength and directly pushed Bowen back a few steps.

"Why don't you draw my offensive foul?"

At this moment, Anthony suddenly spoke to Bowen.

Bowen was taken aback for a moment, yes, how could he forget to make Anthony an offensive foul!

But in fact, in his own subconscious, he never thought of making Anthony an offensive foul, because although he is a defensive player, this type of player also has his own style and usage principles. As a specialty, and Bowen, obviously making an offensive foul is his last choice, which is related to the dignity of a defensive player.

As for Anthony, a rookie, he obviously hasn't considered which one to use. It's just that Anthony's reminder made him stunned for a while. The self-esteem of the defensive players made him suffer so many bumps in vain.

But just as he was in a daze, Anthony suddenly pulled up to shoot, and when he recovered to defend, Anthony's ecstatic pull had already sent the ball into the basket steadily.

Anthony smiled slightly at Bowen, and then turned back to defend, making Bowen so angry that he wanted to go up and beat him up.

Anthony is naturally not afraid of Bowen's anger. What he wants is Bowen's anger. Only when Bowen is angry will he make mistakes in defense. As long as he is beaten down, the Nuggets will have a chance.

In the Spurs' round, the ball came to Duncan after several pick-and-rolls. This time, perhaps influenced by Anthony, Nene tried his best to push Duncan non-stop, and Camby also ran over to assist. Defensively, Duncan was suddenly covered by two insiders. He lost his angle when he wanted to pass the ball. When the time was running out, he could only choose to play hard. The familiar hook hit the blue neck and bounced out of the basket. Anthony, who had already predicted Drive to the paint and pocket the backcourt rebound before Nestolovic jumps up.

After defending against the Spurs' offense, when it was the Nuggets' turn, the ball naturally went to Anthony's hands again.

Bowen is ready this time. In order to avoid being regarded as a flop, he is going to make a few tops first, and wait for Anthony to make an offensive foul again.

Anthony saw a strange smile on Bowen's expression, then took a deep breath, and quickly took the first step.

He chose a layup.

Bowen was taken aback for a moment, Anthony's actions were completely unexpected. He only now realized that Anthony was deliberately provoking him in front of him, but fortunately, his footsteps were solid and he did not completely lose his defensive position. The whole person directly stuck to Anthony's body .

Anthony held his breath, completely ignoring Bowen's defense, and rushed straight towards the basket.

Bowen felt the power erupting from Anthony, and was about to make him an offensive foul. At this moment, Anthony suddenly made an emergency stop, and then shot straight back.

The ball flew out from Anthony's fingertips, hit the red circle on the backboard, bounced and fell into the net pocket.

The Nuggets scored 2 points again.

Bowen froze in place with a bitter look on his face.

Anthony still smiled slightly, you must know that Carmelo Anthony is known as the offensive kaleidoscope, you thought he was just kidding you!
"Tsk tsk, Ervin, I found that I also like the rookie Melo. His offensive performance is too perfect. In my memory, Bowen seems to have never been so embarrassed..." Brown was also impressed by Anthony's performance. conquered.

"Haha, that's right, my successor must be an offensive kaleidoscope, otherwise how can I drive the whole team~" The magician completely regarded Anthony as his successor this time, and he praised himself inadvertently at the same time .
