Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 28

(Thanks to Nongyu Fengyue for the 588 reward~)

"Turn the tide?"

Hearing what "Magic" Johnson said in front of the Anthony mall, his heart couldn't help but move.

In fact, not only in the mind of coach Bzdelik, but also in the minds of the Nuggets players, including Anthony, there is not much hope for defeating the Spurs. The former is a matter of confidence, and the latter is a matter of understanding the relationship between the two. The strength gap between them lies.

But at this moment, after hearing what Johnson said to turn the tide, Anthony clenched his fist involuntarily.

"Are you heartbroken? Do you want to change the fate of this tragedy?"

"Don't you dare?"

The two sentences that flashed on the computer at the beginning used rhetorical questions, which seemed to anger people like Anthony, but in reality?

The fate of Carmelo Anthony is tragic. This does not mean that he is tragic, but his fate. It is not that Carmelo Anthony does not work hard, but that he did not succeed. This shows that the The difficulties in his career are great, and they cannot be easily overcome.

Perhaps this is why the two lines on the computer used rhetorical questions, not to provoke, but to find someone who really dares and is determined to change this fate.

Challenge the championship?dare?

Anthony suddenly raised his head and looked directly above the SBC Arena. There were many retired jerseys hanging there, and of course there were two eye-catching championship flags. The golden championship trophy logo was set in the center of the flag, flaunting With the glory that belongs to this arena.

To turn the tide, let me start by defeating the championship!

Anthony swung his fist violently, with a fierce light in his eyes, and walked towards the Spurs' half with great momentum.

Because the Spurs won the ball with a jump ball in the first quarter, the Nuggets attacked first at the beginning of the second quarter. The Spurs' lineup has not changed much from before. The only difference is that Turkoglu was replaced by Bowen.

Although Anthony was not restricted in front, Bowen is still the Spurs' defensive vanguard.

Anthony and Bowen are the unchangeable fate of this game.

Anthony looked at Bowen, there was no anger in his eyes, and it was replaced by a kind of banter. Bowen's defense should not be included in the history of well-known defensive champions. This is like a species, like Battier. Call it a frog, and Bowen will always be just a toad.

After Anthony took the ball, he didn't force a single play like before. Instead, he kept his back to Bowen, protecting the ball while observing his teammates' running positions.

Rodney White, 23 years old, the No. 01 rookie in 9, his pick is not low, but he was traded to the Nuggets after only playing one season in the Pistons. He averaged 9 points per game in the Nuggets last season 3 rebounds.

White is 2.06m tall, so he won't suffer too much defensively in a small lineup with such a height, and he also has a good three-pointer.

When Anthony was holding the ball, he had already played a pick-and-roll with Barry according to the tactical arrangement, and ran to a 45-degree angle on the left side of the three-point line. Although Duncan was strong in defending him, he was an orthodox player after all. Inside, the pace is a bit behind.

When Anthony was about to hand the ball to White, Anthony Carter at the top of the circle suddenly gave up Miller and went straight to White. If he passed the ball at this time, it would probably be blocked, but the tactic was destroyed if he passed it to Miller. Dropped because Miller didn't have the [-]-point line.

Although this Carter is not that Carter, he is not stupid...

As the brain of the team, Miller will observe the opponent's defense whether with the ball or without the ball. When he sees White running open, he is ready to pull the defender to a 45-degree angle on the right, but he has not yet got up. I saw that Carter, who was defending him, went to defend White, and Duncan also quickly defended him.

The Spurs' rotation reaction was too quick.

Miller thought for a while, and suddenly ran towards Duncan.

Anthony saw Miller's move and quickly realized what his purpose was. After he turned around and dribbled, he slowly moved towards the position where Miller and Duncan were.

Soon, the four were staggered together, and then Miller bypassed Duncan and directly entangled with Bowen. In this way, naturally, the two switched defenses, and Anthony was on the FMVP of last season. World's greatest power forward Tim Duncan.

"Tim, risk that rookie!"

At this moment, Pete Sampras shouted loudly from the audience on the sidelines. This well-known American tennis player who just retired this year is a loyal Spurs fan. He was already very annoyed by Anthony's previous provocation. .

"Melo vs. Tim, this is definitely the most interesting matchup in this game. Tim's defensive ability is absolutely top in the NBA, and Melo's offense today also opened our eyes. The two Although they are not players in the same position, their matchup will definitely create fierce sparks, Erwin, what do you think?" Brown at this time just incited the atmosphere of the fans.

Sure enough, when he yelled this, the fans booed Anthony resoundingly, and during the period, there were even more words such as "Tim fucked that rookie", "Tim exploded his ass" and so on. The sound of cursing.

"Although Tim has excellent defensive ability and is a player with his own defensive system, he is a power forward after all. I think Melo has a higher probability of success." Johnson still maintains his love for Anthony.

"Haha~ Let's wait and see~" Brown did not argue, but observed the duel between the two in the arena.

The shouts and discussions of people on the sidelines continued to roll in, but for Anthony and Duncan on the field, the teammates pulled away early, and their duel had already begun.

Anthony tried to use a crossover to break through Duncan, but failed after several attempts. He couldn't help but admire Duncan's excellent defensive ability.

During their confrontation, the time on the court was also running away. After Anthony tried this time, the Nuggets' offensive time has entered within 5 seconds. If they don't make a decision, it is estimated that they will have a 24-second violation.

Thinking about it, Anthony made a big stride and broke through from the left side.

Duncan's reaction was also quick. Although he couldn't keep up with Anthony in the first step, he still used his defensive position to cling to Anthony, and the two went straight to the basket like Siamese twins.

2 seconds left.

At this time, Anthony has a more than half chance of being blocked by Duncan.

At this moment, Anthony's mind suddenly flashed through the moves he used in the game before crossing. He suddenly turned his back to the sky, leaning on Duncan's body, and then made a super big roundabout, leaning on his body on the right side Squeeze out a chance for a reverse layup.

With a "bang", the ball flew out of Anthony's hand, hit the basket at an almost impossible angle and fell into the net bag. At this time, the whistle of attack time had just sounded.

Duncan watched Anthony score a layup. He was very smart. He was under pressure and had no chance to block the shot. He didn't pay another foul. And even if Anthony scored, he still had an expression on his face, like him "Stone Buddha" The name fits perfectly.

Duncan didn't feel anything, but the two commentators on the commentary booth were massacred.

"Oh, my God, what did I see just now, Melo's movements are... so perfect, that kind of movements can be made from such an angle, it's just... I can't describe it in words... "Brown couldn't help but take the lead in shooting.

"This action is simply thinking that others dare not think and do what others dare not do. Melo is definitely the most imaginative scorer in NBA history. It is better than Tim. There is nothing he can do about this ball. Melo has just entered the NBA. , his future is absolutely immeasurable." Johnson was not stingy about his praise.

"Erwin..." Brown turned his head to look at Johnson, and said with a thoughtful expression on his face, "Do you think that action just now is very similar to... like the action of washing machine cleaning tank?"

Johnson dragged his chin with a pensive face, recalled it for a while, slapped the commentary with his right hand, and said with a big smile: "The washing machine is spinning, yes, the action just now is the washing machine spinning!"

"The washing machine spins?" Brown was stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly, "This name is great!"

On the court, after Anthony scored, he began to retreat to his own half. He just smiled when he heard the discussion between Johnson and Brown. The washing machine spin is a scoring method invented by Carmelo Anthony during the Knicks period. His strong body and superb coordination.

Anthony is just showing it in advance now. I didn't expect Johnson to have the exact same name. This is really obedient to history.

After Anthony relied on this method to score, the Nuggets seemed to have found a solution to consume Anthony's physical strength, that is, to let Anthony misplace singles in the offense, or Duncan, or Nesterovic, or Ginobili, or even Parker, just keep Bowen from defending Anthony.

Because of this, Anthony can easily score, and the Spurs often have to double-team in advance, which disrupts their defensive deployment. Although Duncan still asks for anything, the Nuggets still do not fall behind.

Anthony played the entire second quarter, scoring 18 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. The Nuggets and Spurs finally tied at 59:59. You fought back and forth for most of the quarter. Came to the same starting line again.

At this time in Cleveland, James also ushered in the first regular season game of his career. His agent Aron Goodwin always paid attention to Anthony's game. Find James quickly and let him play hard in the second half.

Unknowingly, the butterfly effect began to exert its power. Even though the two people did not have much intersection, James' fate was also changing unpredictablely with Anthony.

The future is unpredictable, but the game has to continue. After a break of nearly 10 minutes, the Spurs and the Nuggets ushered in the second half of the game.
