Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 279 The First Triple Double of the Season

At this time, on the right side, Brand, the main power forward of the Nuggets, was standing there. After the ball was passed, he immediately caught the ball, and without hesitation for a moment, he directly chose to pull it out.

With a spinning arc, the ball flew straight towards the basket, and went into the pocket without any suspense.

Anthony received an assist, but compared to this, Chandler's almost zero-pause pass was perfect, which attracted the exclamation of the fans at the scene.

The Nuggets' offensive coordination was perfect, but the Sonics were not to be outdone. In the next round, Lewis misplaced and singled Brand. Using his speed and movement, he successfully ran to the bottom corner and hit a large double. Divide the ball to help the Sonics tightly bite the score.

However, this ball seemed to have magical powers, and suddenly consumed the feel of both sides. In the next few rounds, there was a sound of iron striking, and the basket in the Pepsi Center seemed to be performing "How Steel is Tempered", and that The basket seemed to be a bit crooked, until both sides entered the main rotation, neither side scored more than 20 points. At 18:14, the two sides just entered the last 3 minutes of the first quarter.

During this period, Anthony received end-marking. Lewis stretched out his long hands and kept interfering with him. Collison was also very smart to use his experience to supplement the defense. As a result, he did not make a good score in terms of scoring, but he scored No, he still did a good job connecting the teams. During these times, he scored 7 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists.

After the two sides came off the bench, it was different from the main lineup, and it could even be said to be the opposite. Hinrich led a burst of fastballs, and the two sides played dazzlingly. On the Nuggets side, the team's rookie Jeff Sen has shown good offensive skills, whether it is position or mid-range, he is very accurate. It is not an exaggeration to say that he supports the second team. In contrast, the Sonics are not far behind, and Lewis Radmanovic, who has almost the same size, also performed well. Coupled with the outstanding performance of Antonio Daniels, the confrontation between the two sides can be said to be pleasing to the eye, and the cheers of the fans are also overwhelming.

Anthony is also happy from the bottom of his heart when he sees the performance of the substitutes. Originally, when the new coach takes over, the ones who resist or react more are usually the substitute players, because each coach has different tactics, and the players in the rotation are very It is easy to fall out, and some people may directly eat DNP, but Carl is not conservative at all in terms of employment. In just a few minutes, 6 players have already appeared on the field, although the time is not counted. A lot, but everyone is involved in the team, which is very beneficial to the morale of the team, especially for a team that has just experienced team transactions and coaching changes.

And more importantly, Carl's wireless pick-and-roll and defensive counterattack tactics do not require constant acceleration like D'Antoni, but they can give full play to each player's desire for performance, so the rhythm on the court is very fast, and the two sides can play well. Said to be passionate.

By the time the two sides switched to the main force again in the second quarter, the point difference between the two sides had changed from 18:14 to 42:36. The scoring momentum of the two sides can be seen, and the Nuggets also relied on their superior bench strength , occupying a big advantage in this round of confrontation.

Anthony is now on the court again. After he came up, his defender became Radmanovich. Looking at the player in front of him who was well-known during the Lakers period, he knew that tonight would definitely look unusual.

In the beginning, because they were always behind, the Sonics obviously strengthened their offensive speed. Ray Allen also kept running without the ball. Korver obviously couldn't keep up. In the two consecutive rounds, both Ray Allen ran out of the open space, and the latter also scored a three-pointer and a large two-pointer. Although the Nuggets also had a 2+1 hit by Brand in these two rounds, the point difference between the two sides It was still shrunk a little bit. In this round, the Nuggets' offense failed again. Ray Allen grabbed the ball and threw it to Ridnour, who quickly advanced forward.

The center forward of the Nuggets at the moment is Chandler. When Ridnor was advancing at high speed, he was not idle, and quickly retreated into the backcourt together.

When Ridnour saw that it was Chandler, he didn't stop, but protected his body. When he quickly advanced to the free throw line, there was a sudden change in the rhythm, which quickly transformed into a three-step slow, and he jumped up before Chandler. The reaction time after landing was poor, and the shot was followed by a throw.

Ridnour’s choice of offense and defense was not wrong, and he caught the time difference very well, but he seemed to have underestimated Chandler’s ability. At the moment of his shot, Chandler almost jumped up with him, and then moved towards the ball. Fly cover out.

The result can be imagined.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, Ridnor's shot ate a big risk from Chandler.

Ridnour couldn't help feeling a little dazed all of a sudden, but fortunately, the ball was not lost from the hands of the Nuggets. After it was picked up by Lewis who followed up, he immediately made a layup posture and headed towards the basket Continue to rush to the past.

But once again something unexpected happened. Chandler protected his body and blocked Lewis so abruptly. Lewis shot very well from the outside, but in terms of physical confrontation, he had to appear weak. At least, after colliding with Chandler at this moment, it is obvious that some strength is not needed, and the shooting movement is deformed. Although the ball flew over Chandler's palm, it still bounced when it finally hit the basket. Out of the box, the rebound was also pocketed by Chandler at once.

Chandler defended one and defended two, and finally successfully defended.

The fans at the scene immediately let out a roar of excitement, but their shouts did not end there, because Chandler did not stop after holding the ball. He threw the ball forward immediately after taking the ball, and the ball slammed It was in the hands of Anthony in the frontcourt. After Anthony got the ball, he followed to kill inside.

Because the Sonics had already formed a fast break opportunity, both sides ran to the backcourt of the Nuggets. When Anthony received the ball, he was almost near the midfield. When rushing forward, the Sonics left Jerome James, who couldn't run, and Radmanovic, who defended and followed Anthony in the backcourt. The Nuggets may have a better defensive awareness. Even Brand quickly retreated into the backcourt, leaving only Korver who accidentally fell down in the backcourt.

After Korver stood up, he immediately found Anthony who was going to the inside. Because Li's position was on the inside, he couldn't get out of the three-point line all at once, so he could only pull to the outside as much as possible. , and at this time, Jerome James, who was under the basket, was afraid of Korver's three-point shooting ability, hesitated for a moment, and followed it out again.

At this moment, Anthony has already taken the ball to the inside, and only Radmanovic who is defending him is left in front of him. As if it was about to fall at any time.

At this time, Jerome James followed Korver to the outside, but there was still some distance from the three-point line, and Anthony seemed to be about to make a layup. James hesitated, and finally waved his hands towards Anthony. Make up for it.

Anthony didn't seem to pay attention to the two people. After pushing forward a little, he directly chose the "washing machine roundabout" towards the other side.

"Melo's ball is very tough!" Seeing the performance on the court, Barkley, the commentator on the sidelines, opened his mouth and said, "But why didn't he see his teammates standing outside?"

Before his words fell, at this moment, the situation on the court suddenly changed. After James saw Anthony using the washing machine, he rushed up in three steps and took two steps. After jumping up, he took advantage of his height. Get ready for a patch.

But at this moment, something that they didn't expect happened at all. At this moment, Anthony slammed the ball to the other side of the field from an almost impossible angle. After flying out of his hand, he was almost flying above the bottom line, very fast.

The ball seemed to be passed very suddenly, but Korver, who was outside the three-point line, was not surprised at all. After partnering with Anthony for so long, he knew that the latter would never be so reckless, and the fact is indeed As he expected, Anthony ended up passing the ball in an almost improbable way.

Korver catches the ball, takes a little aim and then shoots.

The ball has a perfect arc.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, a steady three-pointer was hit, and the point difference was once again widened.

The fans at the scene immediately let out a roar of excitement, and Anthony had just landed. After avoiding James who was rushing over, he looked back at Korver like looking at the moon, and then gave him a thumbs up.

After the fans saw Anthony's gesture, there was another roar of excitement.

Anthony smiled and ran back to the half court. In this game, after realizing that the opponent was focusing on him, he did not choose to act recklessly. Instead, he naturally thought of his teammates and kept feeding them the ball. This caused The direct result is that at the end of the half, he has scored 12 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and it seems that he is heading for a triple-double.

And Anthony's subsequent performance did not disappoint the fans at all. At the end of the third quarter, Anthony made an exquisite pass to the unguarded Jefferson. While widening the gap to 15 points, Anthony also successfully increased the number of assists to 10. So far, Anthony's first triple-double this season has also been successfully achieved, with 21 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
