Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 38
"Dangdang!"

With a crisp sound, the ball hit the front of the basket and bounced.

Miller's whole heart hangs with the bouncing ball.

The ball bounced and then fell, this time hitting the backboard and then into the net.

Three point hit!

"yeah!"

Seeing the ball go into the pocket, Miller yelled, stretched out his fist and waved it vigorously in front of his chest.

Anthony was also relieved when he saw Miller hit a three-pointer. It seemed that he had made the right bet. This goal was not just as simple as scoring a few points. Miller's morale in this team was definitely a big boost. If the brains that control the team don't have confidence, it will be extremely difficult for the Nuggets to fill the entire court.

Miller's three-pointer made the two sides battle into a 9:9 tie.

When Anthony stepped back to defend, Miller reached out and gave him a high-five. His hand was full of strength, and he could feel the return of his self-confidence.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the guard of the Nuggets had such an ugly posture, and the three-pointer was actually scored. The goal was fooled. Seeing how happy he is, it's as if he scored a few points..." Drake Seller said coldly.

Varel felt that Drexler's comments were getting more and more wrong. At the beginning, as the veteran of the Rockets, it was understandable to say twice, but now maybe Anthony's provocation has made the fifty-year-old Fame turned to personal attacks, he coughed twice and said, "Clyde, let's discuss how the Rockets will deal with the Nuggets' offense next?"

After Varel finished speaking, he took off the headset, turned sideways and whispered to Drexler, "Clyde, you're still playing, if you are too partial, the Nuggets will have great opinions."

Drexler had just finished taunting Miller, and he was a little secretly happy. He only noticed his gaffe when he heard Varel's reminder. His fame was completely lost by Anthony's shock. He put away his mocking words. With a pale face, he nodded and said: "The Rockets' defense is going through a relatively big test, but I believe in Van Gundy. His coaching ability in the preseason has already impressed me."

Seeing that Drexler had returned to normal, Varel finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Let's wait and see!"

He knows how to watch words and expressions. If he guides the fans again, maybe the players will fight after a while.

In the offense of the Rockets, Francis was obviously more impatient than before. Although he hit Miller twice in a row, the latter scored more points than him with a low single and a three-pointer. As the team leader, he His tone was unbearable, as soon as he got beyond the three-point line, he couldn't wait to signal his teammates to pull away.

Yao Ming didn't receive the ball for several consecutive rounds, and only fought with Camby in the interior for a while, not to mention that it didn't show any effect. After all, his physical strength was not good. .

Facing Miller's defense, Francis crossed his crotch, swayed, accelerated, and after a series of breakthrough actions, he suddenly found that Miller's defensive strategy had changed. In this way, it becomes a little difficult for him to break through. Obviously, this is a defensive strategy of throwing shots and preventing breakthroughs.

Camby also saw the changes in Miller's defense at this time. His natural defensive sense made him realize that the opportunity was coming. At this time, Yao Ming, who was as thin as a bamboo pole, was ready.

Francis dribbled the ball a few more times on the spot. After seeing Miller still shrinking behind, he looked at the basket, kicked his legs, and pulled out his hand directly.

With a series of coherent movements and long-term playing sense, he knew the ball was there the moment he took the shot.

But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly covered him.

The ball just left his hand.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the ball was slapped violently out of the field.

Camby flies to block the shot!

After Camby blocked the shot, he was extremely excited and raised his hand to imitate Dikembe Mutombo and shook his middle finger.

"Hush!..."

Not surprisingly, the fans at the Toyota Center booed for a while. Anthony was arrogant, but Camby was so arrogant. Their anger was obviously aroused, and the boos were even louder than just now.

"beep!"

The referee immediately caught his action and gave him a technical foul, but the arrogance on Camby's face remained undiminished. The Nuggets players were also very excited, and they were not affected at all. Only Bzdelik cursed secretly from the sidelines. He said: "Damn it!"

Francis, in disbelief, saw himself blocked, then heard the referee call Camby a technical foul, and he walked to the free throw line in a daze.

Technical foul, two free throws and one throw.

Dazed, Francis patted the ball twice, and then shot.

With a sound of "bang", the ball hit the front of the basket and missed, and the strength of the first penalty seemed to be a little weaker.

Francis took two deep breaths, increased his strength this time, sank his body and shot.

"Dangdang!"

The ball hit the back of the neck of the basket this time, and then it still bounced out of the frame.

With a "wow", the fans at the scene made a loud noise, and Francis missed two free throws. This kind of thing rarely happens.

Although Francis missed two free throws, the Rockets still had the ball. After the sideline ball was sent, the ball still came to Francis's hands, but this time, he neither chose to attack nor commanded his teammates, but Handed the ball to Mobley, and then stood directly outside the three-point line.

Anthony was also relieved to see the changes in Francis. In addition to technical and tactical aspects of playing, there are also mentality and morale. He repeatedly angered Francis. The latter must want to save face. Camby's shot Blocking the shot was equivalent to a blow to the head, which stunned Francis a bit.

And now that the morale of the Nuggets is high, they must take the opportunity to open the score.

Mobley was also a little surprised by Francis' move, but after all, he has also been in the league for so many years. After getting the ball, he chose to break through Leonard's defense directly.

One step, two steps, three steps, although Leonard was close, he still found a chance for Mobley to make a shot. In the middle distance, he suddenly pulled up to shoot, and the ball fell steadily into the net.

Leonard shook his head in frustration. For some reason this season, he suddenly became a defensive loophole for the Nuggets.

Anthony came over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Wash, it's okay, you've defended well!"

Leonard looked at Anthony, didn't say much, just nodded, and then ran towards the frontcourt.

The Nuggets' offense is almost exactly the same as before. After Miller received the ball, he hit a three-pointer in an undefended state. He kept waving his fist in excitement. Somehow, it was once as small as a keychain. My basket is as big as the sea at this time!

In contrast, Francis was even more confused. He didn't know whether to continue to double-team Anthony or to mark Miller.

Seeing the overall frustration of the Rockets players, Van Gundy decisively called a timeout and rearranged the defense.

On the Nuggets side, Bzdelik started his spiritual encouragement method again: "Good job! Just play like this! Miller, you make a bold shot! Only when you make a good shot can the Rockets' defense be expanded. , when the time comes, Melo and Nene will be left and right in the low position, ready to play singles at any time! Listen up, you must be active in fighting for the frontcourt later!"

The timeout came soon, but the situation on the field seemed to be getting out of control. Francis was still out of control. Yao Ming had difficulty receiving the ball when facing Camby. Although Mobley's offensive ability is not bad, but the vision of passing the ball is much worse than that of Francis. This pass has become one person playing four people watching.

On the other hand, for the Nuggets, because Miller scored two consecutive three-pointers, Francis had to choose man-to-man under Van Gundy's instruction, but in this way, Anthony and Nene quickly became the strong points on the field. The two kept pushing, one left and one right, and as long as the Rockets chose to double-team, they would pass the ball to the outside. Leonard also hit two three-pointers, and the morale of the whole team was even higher.

第一节打到还剩下3、4分钟的时候，掘金队已经以21:14领先7分之多了，安东尼在这波进攻中拿下了8分3板3助攻的亮眼数据，几乎是一己之力带动全队发挥。

At this point in the game, the two teams have also entered the time of rotation. The bewildered Boss Fred was finally replaced, and Anthony also sat on the bench.

The game is the same as marching and fighting. There is a "momentum" on the field. The morale of the Nuggets can be said to be high at this time, especially Nene, who is still on the field, who is attacking and cursing. The other players on the Golden Team, even Miller, who has always been restrained, is like a lunatic. The whole team is like a bloodthirsty bullhead crowd.

On the other hand, the Rockets, as if infected with some deadly virus, became hesitant on offense, and timid on defense. It was a different team from the preseason game. Even the substitutes were frizzy, completely Can't open the situation.

Anthony sat on the sidelines and saw Boykins go inside again and again as if he was in no man's land, scoring non-stop. He felt unspeakably happy. Nine is about to win.

"beep!"

The referee finally blew the whistle to end the first quarter, and the frustrated Rockets and excited Nuggets returned to their benches.

30:20
The Nuggets have widened the point difference to double digits.

"It's so fucking cool! I don't even want to come down from this game!"

As soon as Nene sat down, he yelled carelessly. He played the entire first quarter, but the state of excitement at this time did not show his exhaustion at all.

"That's right, it's so cool, the feeling of dunking Witherspoon is too fast!" Chris Anderson also said excitedly. Just before leaving the field, he cooperated with Boykins and directly succeeded in dunking. , He was so excited that he almost flew up.

Anthony just smiled at Nene and Anderson's shouting, but he didn't show too much excitement, because at this moment he saw that Yao Ming was discussing something with Van Gundy on the side of the Rockets' bench, and there was already a period of time. time.
