Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 288
After Anthony received the ball, he turned around and swung the ball left and right twice to create enough space for him to attack. When he looked up again, he saw a familiar face, Sean Battier.

Battier's popularity in China is probably beyond anyone's expectations. A super nice man off the court, a predator on the court, a top defensive champion, and the spokesperson of blindfold defense are all familiar to fans Yes, Anthony naturally knows him very well. It has to be said that Battier's performance in terms of movement, assisting defense, and applying defensive pressure can be said to be very good, even if he has just emerged this season.

So Anthony was not careless after receiving the ball. His first action was to look at the running position of his teammates.

"Sean's defense has made us shine this season. The Grizzlies can still maintain the ranks of the playoffs. His credit is not small." He said with a smile.

"This kid was a defensive engineer when he was in college. A typical practical player. He just doesn't know whether his defense will work against Melo." Barkley said jokingly.

While the two were talking, Anthony had already picked up the ball and was ready to attack. There was not much time left in the attack, and the pick-and-rolls of his teammates were not effective, leaving him with the only way to do it alone.

Anthony took the ball and took a deep breath. This ball looked like an ordinary first attack, but in fact it was related to another very important thing, morale, which is a very important thing for a team. Rainbow can often take away the game in one wave.

But now, when the Nuggets have not opened up their opening tactics, if the goal is not scored, it will undoubtedly be a very big blow to the morale of the Nuggets, so this goal, in addition to scoring, can only enter.

Anthony started to move, first with a quick dribble advance, Battier's defense followed him like a shadow, with his hands outstretched, leaving no room for him to break through.

Anthony was followed by an emergency stop, and then quickly pulled out his hand without any extra movements. This choice of shot surprised everyone. Even Battier was stunned for a moment, although he was very nervous. Hurry up to defend, but can only watch the ball fly over the head, and then fly straight to the basket.

"Shh!"

With a crisp sound, Anthony easily scored the first point above Battier's head.

"yeah!……"

With just one ball, the anger of the fans on the scene was ignited all of a sudden.

People always make guesses about what is going to happen. When Anthony holds the ball, the fans will naturally think about how Anthony will fight Battier. After all, Battier is a defensive player. It won't be easy, but Anthony did something that was reasonable but unexpected to the fans. He directly pulled it out. It felt like he didn't take the opponent's defense seriously at all, and didn't want to Do more entanglement with you.

It is clean, neat, time-saving and labor-saving, and most importantly, effective. The fans who were ignited at the scene are enough to illustrate the effect.

The Nuggets played the first ball cleanly. Looking back, the Grizzlies played another scene. Start dribbling with his back to the inside.

Gasol is a very characteristic player. In terms of strength, he is not as good as some tank-type insiders, but in terms of height and skills, he looks young, but he looks like an old player who has been around for more than ten years. , facing Brand at this moment, he hit the back twice, and then flicked the ball to the right without looking back, and the ball went directly to the air-cut Andre Miller. The layup caused Chandler's defensive foul.

"Ariza, pay attention to the defense!" At this time, the Cooper assistant coach on the sidelines couldn't help shouting at Ariza. Nash's defense was helpless, but Ariza's defense was obviously slower just now. Appearing in the playoffs once, as a rookie, he still couldn't help being a little nervous.

Anthony walked up to him now, patted him on the shoulder, signaled him to relax, and then walked to the basket.

Miller faced his former owner in this series. When he walked to the free throw line, he even said hello to Anthony. .

"Hey, Charles, did you see that Miller and Melo greeted each other just now? I almost forgot that they were teammates last season!" Johnson said in surprise.

"The operation of the management of the Nuggets is great, but to be honest, the players of the Nuggets change their faces as diligently as they change their underwear. Look at the players on the team now. If I remember correctly, the players from a year ago are just as diligent. It's just Nene," Barkley said jokingly.

"If you say that, it's true. If I remember correctly, this team had a player named Wang Zhizhi last season, who played very well, but after only one year, he was no longer in the team. ’” Johnson said with emotion.

Qiqi was sitting in the stands watching the game, and when he heard the ridicule of the two commentators, his old face blushed. It is true that the transactions he made in these two seasons were much more frequent than before. It is inseparable from Anthony, but these transactions are obviously reinforcements. It is clear from the team's record. From a small team to a strong contender for the championship for two consecutive seasons, it is not unreasonable. success.

The sideline commentators talked eloquently, and the mentality of the people watching the game was also different, but this did not have much effect on the players on the court. At this time, the Nuggets were launching their second offense, and the previous The difference in an offense is that their offense this time was completely simplified. After Nash and Anthony made a pick-and-roll, Anthony pulled to the three-point line, and Nash went straight to the basket. When encountering a double-team, a hidden ball Straight to the bottom line Brand, Brand made a solid jump shot, which is similar to Anthony's ball just now, and the way of scoring is simple and couldn't be simpler.

The Nuggets scored in both rounds, but when they retreated, Carl's expression was not very happy. When he saw the players quickly retreated to his own half, he finally couldn't help it. He shouted, "Run! Run!..."

As soon as Karl said this, the Nuggets players immediately understood his tactical intentions. This was a tactical code word, and they began to press for the ball holder. Nash, who couldn't defend, was also crazily pressing up at the moment.

Miller didn't panic because of the pressing. He raised his big butt and kept Nash behind him. Compared with him, Nash was much thinner after all. This pressing didn't have much effect.

It seems that the Nuggets' pressing did not play much role, but after the Grizzlies settled down, they realized that something was wrong. As far as Nash's delay was concerned, the Grizzlies' offensive formation had been broken down Gasol wanted a position in the low post, but the one who was pushed by Brand was uncomfortable, and he couldn't wait for the ball, so he had to bypass the free throw line.

Miller managed to push the ball beyond the three-point line, and the game time had entered 15 seconds. Miller wanted to pass the ball to Gasol, but Ariza's double-team suddenly rushed up. That feeling, The Nuggets are not defending, but attacking, completely denying the Grizzlies a chance to pass the ball.

Miller's passing is not considered weak among point guards, but Ariza's big size playing a guard immediately blocked his passing vision, and he could only choose to dribble by himself staggeringly, and then left Guang glanced at where Gasol was, and then threw the ball over.

At this moment, Anthony was already waiting for the opportunity, how could he miss this opportunity at this moment, he accurately judged the passing route, copied the ball, and then suddenly started running towards the frontcourt.

The Nuggets' defensive lineup expanded outwards, so this steal was almost completed outside the three-point line. When Anthony started to steal and rushed forward, he almost crossed the center line in three or two steps. Other players wanted to defend , there is no time at all.

At this time, Anthony was like a lonely wild horse on the vast grassland, running wildly on the endless grassland.

There was a burst of excited cheers from the fans at the scene, and there was no need to explain, almost everyone knew what was going to happen next.

Anthony hit the basket in the blink of an eye as soon as he rode Juechen. He was not sloppy. Amidst the cheers of more than 2 fans at the scene, he glided and dunked the ball hard into the basket with one hand. "Bang!" With a bang, the emotions of the fans on the scene rose again.

After Anthony dunked, the Grizzlies players retreated to the backcourt, but Miller was keenly aware that the defense was too advanced at this time, so he directly threw the ball to Gasol near the midfield , Gasol has only one playoff rookie Ariza in front of him, and he starts to push forward with the ball.

At this moment, another Grizzlies player, Mike Miller, had already run from the backcourt to the frontcourt beyond the three-point line. Gasol quickly noticed him and passed the ball with his hand.

But the moment he raised his hand.

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound, anxiously searching, but I only felt a light hand, followed by the ball and disappeared. I looked again, and the ball had already reached Ariza's hands. Ariza was not lucky after taking the ball, so he just stuffed it Nash, and Nash noticed Chandler under the basket, and directly lobbed a lob into the air. Chandler directly received an alley-oop dunk.

All of this happened in just a few seconds, and in a blink of an eye, the Nuggets had already completed two top ten strikes, and the absolute momentum was like a rainbow.
