Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 264 Melon Mode Activation
Anthony then turned his back to House, and his heart was as calm as water. Facing a defender of House's level, he didn't have to worry about the opponent at all. As long as there were no low-level mistakes, House would not It may be prevented.

House couldn't help but wiped the sweat from his forehead at this moment. Contrary to Anthony, he couldn't control the tension in his heart now. It wasn't the first time he played with Anthony. He wasn't with the Heat last season. He has played against Anthony since then, but the two have never faced each other directly. Most of the time, he just sits off the court, watching Anthony take whatever he wants like a god of death, and then dominate the game, so even at this moment He didn't want to be nervous, and he couldn't help it at all.

Anthony slapped House, and when he stood up and felt his tight body, Anthony shook his head in disappointment. House's performance really disappointed him. He thought House was a Bell has some similar 3D players, but looking at it now, he is more of a weakened version of Korver.

After Anthony knew this, he chose to hit hard without hesitation.

House held his breath and held Anthony firmly, preventing him from easily entering the penalty area, but just as he was exerting all his strength, Anthony suddenly withdrew.

When defending, players will often choose the defensive method of "removing the bench" to catch the opponent off guard and defend the opponent's offense. It is relatively rare to withdraw force during the offense, especially when playing low singles. It's easy to lose hard-won offensive positions.

But Anthony did just that, and without the slightest hesitation, he withdrew his strength suddenly and gave up the low position he was going to.

House was taken aback when he saw Anthony's actions, but immediately, he showed a smile. If Anthony's performance this season is very different from last season, he felt that Anthony did not adjust well at first. , But after Anthony continued to perform as an ordinary star, he also believed like everyone else that Anthony either hit the rookie wall, or he was injured somewhere, but he just kept hiding it and was not revealed.

Now the sudden withdrawal of force made House believe the second guess that Anthony must have been injured somewhere and couldn't use his strength anymore, so he naturally wouldn't let this easy-to-reach opportunity slip away. Going forward, to occupy the position Anthony lost, his defense immediately had an immediate effect.

But just when House thought he could deal with Anthony's attack, Anthony suddenly moved, and suddenly hit the back hard. House was caught off guard, and was directly pushed back one by one. He couldn't return to his original defensive position at once.

At this time, Anthony moved, and he played in a rhythm. When the opponent was exerting all his strength, he withdrew his strength. When the opponent was exhausted, he began to exert all his strength. He then made a sharp turn, like passing a bamboo pole. Yes, just passed the house cleanly, without messing around at all.

Anthony easily passed House, then turned and rushed to the basket.

"Wow, Melo's turn is perfect and not sloppy at all, it's just amazing!" Brown couldn't help exclaiming when he saw Anthony's beautiful movements on the court.

Johnson also smiled at this moment and said: "I think maybe House should remember who the player he is facing is."

"boom!"

The teammates of the Nuggets had already opened up the offensive space for Anthony. After he passed House, he rushed directly to the basket, unguarded, and easily dunked with both hands.

The fans at the scene suddenly let out a burst of excited shouts. For them, dunks or mid-range scores are not important. The important thing is that the Melo they were familiar with has finally returned today with a strong attitude. up. ,

Among the audience, there was a person sitting in the reporter area, watching Anthony's galloping figure, and his heart turned out to be a mix of ups and downs.

This person was Anthony's former queen reporter who spent the night with Anthony on that wrong night, and in order to make Anthony feel at ease, he later pretended to be Vasquez, a woman who loves money.

She just stared at Anthony in a daze, until the partner next to her patted her on the shoulder, she finally came back to her senses, and then devoted herself to the work she should be doing.

Anthony didn't do anything extra after the dunk this time. After scoring the goal, he immediately retreated to the defense. As he expected, Wade was running wildly at the net at the moment, trying to catch the Nuggets by surprise. But in the end he was stopped by Anthony.

Wade was a little depressed waiting for other players to take their positions, but after all, he already had so much experience in major competitions, he did not choose to play hard, but lobbed the ball to O'Neal inside.

Facing Chandler's defense, O'Neal did not choose to fight hard this time, but used another weapon in his arsenal that no one else could defend, the small hook.

O'Neal successfully scored two points in front of Chandler with a light hook.

"A beautiful offensive round! Shaq is not old at all, he played very smart! I don't know if Bass will miss his big shark..." Brown couldn't help but praise when he saw O'Neal's offense.

Johnson smiled and said: "Last year's playoffs, the Nuggets fell to the Western Conference semifinals, largely due to the existence of Shaq. Although Shaq is now in the East, I think Melo will definitely want to play in Shaq. Take this game head on."

Johnson is right, Anthony really wants to win this game, although it is not what he thought.

O'Neal just scored a goal. After Anthony came to the frontcourt and made an off-ball pick-and-roll with Brand, he quickly pulled outside. Nash's pass was also very timely, almost after Anthony reached the three-pointer After the line, the ball is already in his hands.

The passing master's reputation is indeed more than just an empty title.

After Anthony received the ball, he immediately made a shooting posture. At this moment, Haslem, who was replaced inside the defense, immediately jumped out after seeing Anthony's move.

Anthony glanced at Haslem, and did not choose to shoot immediately, but directly threw a lob to Brand, who was on the inside. After Brand changed defense, it was equivalent to a big hit and a small one. After receiving the ball, he turned around directly. Just hit the board and shoot, the defensive player didn't react at all at the moment.

The Nuggets once again easily scored two points.

The Nuggets no longer require a quick 7-second offense as before, but find the most suitable offensive players and let them shoot in the most comfortable position.

In the next few rounds, both sides tried two goals each. Although House was helpless against Anthony, his speed still had a certain advantage in the face of Korver's defense, and his touch seemed to be good in this game. , hit a mid-range and a three-pointer again, and suddenly became the Heat's highest scoring player in this game.

Cooper shouted loudly from the sidelines to make the Nuggets players pay attention to the defensive rotation.

In the next round of the Heat's offense, after the Nuggets defended, the oppressive defense played a role and successfully forced Wade to dribble out of bounds, but the ball finally hit Brand's foot, which was regarded as the Heat's possession.

There was a chance of a dead ball in the game. At this moment, the referee blew his whistle to signal the Nuggets to make a substitution. Hinrich, who had been sitting off the court for most of the day, replaced Korver. Played as a player for the Nuggets.

When Anthony saw Hinrich appearing on the stage, he was unconsciously excited. He and Hinrich were the two people who called the most during the trials. Now they are really competing in the same field. That feeling is the most comfortable.

The Nuggets are using a double point guard tactic at the moment, but because Hinrich is 6 feet 3 inches tall, which is 1.9 meters, even if he is placed in the shooting guard, he is not too short, and even more so. What's more, he is facing House who is shorter than him, so the double point guard tactic at this moment is not a problem at all.

Hinrich is a comprehensive player, but it can also be said that he is a mediocre player, because his defense is not as sharp as Bell, and he is not as characteristic as Korver, but the current Nuggets outside , Just need such a player, his biggest feature is that he can execute the coach's tactical intentions [-]%, and has a very team-playing awareness, which is a completely selfless player.

And what others don't know, but Anthony knows that Hinrich is at a disadvantage against tall defenders on the defensive end, but when facing players of similar height, his defensive style is very tough, and he is not afraid of any opponents at all. Opponents, even those muscular sticks, he can defend calmly as usual.

This kind of player is destined not to become a superstar, but he can become the coach's favorite player.

House served the ball from the sidelines, and the Heat didn't have many chances to attack. After the ball was sent, Wade directly dribbled through. After two steps, he found that the Nuggets had double-teamed. House, House ran into position and was about to shoot the same way as before.

But at this moment, he suddenly found that the defensive pressure he was facing had changed. When facing Korver before, he seemed to pass without much effort, but this time, let alone with the ball, he just passed without the ball. When he reached his position, Hinrich had already pushed forward, completely denying him a chance to make a move.

House had no choice. After almost losing the ball, he still threw the ball back to Wade. Wade had no time to make a breakthrough, so he could only choose mid-range shots, and mid-range shots were not his strong point, so naturally the Heat The team's round ended with a strike.
