This slap knocked down more than half of the morale of the Heat team in an instant, and the fans in the audience shouted crazily. At this moment, Anthony slapped James no longer with a slap. The face of the small forwards of the 03 golden generation reached a climax.

The Heat's offensive time was less than 3 seconds. Brown's hasty three-pointer ended in a hit, and the rebound was captured by Camby.

Seeing that the situation on the court was not right, Lacis hurriedly put the main players on the court. Before he went on the court, he asked Davis to double-check him so that he would not fall into a personal fight.

As soon as these starters played, the defensive and offensive quality of the Cavaliers immediately went up to a new level, especially Davis, who seemed to have really listened to Lacis' persuasion, no longer obsessed with doing it alone, but handed the ball to the James came to organize, which completely released James.

Anthony beat James twice at the beginning, but his physical strength was huge. James was no better than others. Fighting with him was simply looking for abuse. In the end, he had to give up singles.

This back and forth, the Cavaliers quickly gained the upper hand.

The Nuggets' offense does not have a routine. It sounds good but it is changeable, and it is bad that it is not proficient in it. It is okay to play chaotic games. When encountering such a defense on the face, without Anthony's point-to-point approach, the offensive scene is simply ugly. In the extreme, he was also intercepted by James a few times. Halfway through the third quarter, 47:54, the point difference ran to double digits again, but the trailing side became the Nuggets.

The morale of the Nuggets has also completely lost its previous high, but has become extremely low.

Anthony was panting and running on the field, and now he is suffering. He is not afraid of James fighting alone, but the game is a continuous process. James' physical strength is something he has to admire. He always feels full. Coupled with the tactical confrontation, he really felt a little powerless. The most painful thing is that Coach Cooper is completely a wooden man. He doesn't care about the things on the court, and he wants to die.

The last time he played against the Spurs, Anthony beat Bowen to break the Spurs' zone defense. This time, facing James, he was at most evenly divided or slightly better. It is a bit difficult to drive his teammates.

In the Cavaliers' offense, James once again assisted Boozer to hit a high jumper with 2 points. As long as the Cavaliers score another goal, the leading score will reach double digits.

"You can't lose! You can't lose! Now that you've decided, you can't lose!"

At this moment, a voice in Anthony's heart shouted. He reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and a stubborn look suddenly flashed in his eyes.

He re-examined the Cavaliers' zone defense. In terms of the quality of the zone defense, the Cavaliers are naturally inferior to the Spurs in terms of switching speed and help defense, but it is still possible to limit the breakthrough of the Nuggets.

At this moment, Anthony suddenly slapped himself on the head.

Anthony was happy to say that Leonard could not play, but the Nuggets only had him with a reliable three-pointer. He was also struggling with this before, but now he realizes that he forgot a very important thing. , He can also shoot three-pointers!

Really, the game was so hot that even his head was a little hot. Anthony's three-point shooting ability in his previous life was not outstanding, but now his three-point shooting level is completely testable.

Thinking of this, Anthony suddenly became enlightened, and his worries disappeared.

Followed to the frontcourt, Anthony did not go to the free throw line or respond, but ran directly to Miller's side, and secretly made a tactical gesture to him for a three-pointer. The latter understood and immediately called Barry over. pick and roll.

While Miller and Barry run the pick-and-roll, Anthony moves quickly to the sideline.

Although Barry is old, his body is still very strong. This time, Davis was blocked firmly. Miller took the opportunity to attack the inside line, and the Cavaliers' zone defense immediately shrank.

At this time, Anthony suddenly moved from the sideline to the bottom foot, and Miller had already understood it. As soon as Anthony ran to the designated position, Miller's pass had already been thrown.

Boozer was originally standing near the three-second zone. If Miller broke through again, he was ready to go up to block the passing route, but at this moment the ball suddenly flew over his head, and he immediately realized When the Nuggets started to play three-point tactics, he immediately ran towards the foot.

However, the moment Anthony received the ball, he jumped up.

The Cavaliers are defending a 3-2 zone defense at this time, and the two feet are the weakness. Although Boozer reacts fast enough, he is an insider after all, and his shooting speed is not as fast as Anthony's.

The moment he jumped up, unfortunately, it became the background of Anthony's shot.

The picturesque posture, the soft touch, still maintains the shooting action after the ball is released.

"Shh!"

The ball fell straight into the net bag.

"Beautiful!" The moment Anthony scored, Barkley couldn't help shouting, and slapped his fat thigh with his big palm, making a crisp "pop" sound.

"Melo's ball is life-saving. The Nuggets can be said to be in a long drought. I don't know if it will break the Cavaliers' defensive formation and bring the Nuggets a chance to counterattack?" Smith continued to instigate The emotions of the audience.

"Maybe he was just dazed in front of him and took a nap." Barkley said half-jokingly.

"Hopefully it's not a flash of light," Smith added.

The ball fell into the pocket, and Anthony just landed steadily, leaving Boozer with a depressed face behind him, who patted his thigh vigorously behind him, as if complaining that he was moving too slowly.

"Don't use too much force, it will hurt." Anthony saw Boozer's actions and reminded him, then turned and retreated.

When Boozer heard Anthony's words, he was taken aback for a moment, with a strange expression on his face, wondering if he had misunderstood Anthony's meaning.

James saw Anthony hit a three-pointer, he hesitated for a moment, and he didn't mean to change the defensive formation. He also knew that three-pointers were not Anthony's strong point, and the Cavaliers had finally established an advantage by relying on zone defense. Lost, purely man-to-man, the Cavaliers have clearly suffered in the first half.

Anthony hit a three-pointer, which brought more than simply chasing three-pointers. The morale of the Nuggets was also boosted, and the strength of defense followed closely. Not finding a chance, Davis threw a three-pointer a little impatiently, and the rebound was also grabbed by Anthony.

James glanced at Davis with some dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything. When retreating, he gestured to make the Cavaliers' defense switch from a 2-3 zone defense to a 3-2 zone defense. There is no chance of a three-pointer. At a 45-degree angle and at the top of the circle, the guard's speed can still keep up. Presumably, Anthony would not dare to take a three-pointer easily with his grasp of the three-pointer.

Anthony noticed the changes in the Cavaliers' defense, and suddenly showed a strange smile. The Cavaliers had a good idea, but he was no longer the former Anthony.

Still the same pick-and-roll tactics, but this time the pick-and-roll man was replaced by Nene, and Miller was able to get deeper into the Cavaliers' zone defense.

Almost at the same time, Anthony also reached a 45-degree angle on the right wing outside the three-point line, and Miller's pass was thrown away.

James' face changed when he saw Anthony's movement at this time. He didn't expect that he actually ran outside the three-point line, but he was on the left wing at this time, and it was obviously too late to rush over. He could only shout in a hurry: "Da Juan, jump on it!"

Wagner heard James' shout, and immediately realized that Anthony was about to shoot a three-pointer, so he rushed forward.

The guard's speed was indeed much faster than that of the inside line, and Wagner finally jumped up before Anthony made a shot.

Anthony smiled slightly, still maintaining a three-point shooting posture.

Wagner is 1.91m tall, not too short for a guard, but now he is facing Anthony, a small forward who is 12 centimeters taller than him, even if he takes off at the same time, his height has already determined his Can't get Anthony.

"Shh!"

It was still a clear and crisp sound, like a sharp arrow, piercing the hearts of the Cavaliers fiercely.

James felt himself hurt again.

The face of Lacis on the sidelines also changed slightly. When James proposed the zone defense, he agreed very much, because he had never played against the Nuggets before. The offensive methods are not very familiar, but judging from one quarter of the game, he also more or less felt that the Nuggets lacked a three-point shooter, which is why he dared to adopt it when James made a suggestion. The trend of the game also confirmed his and James' conjectures.

just now...

The analysis before the game clearly stated that Anthony is an unstable scorer with three-pointers. Why did he open the pot all of a sudden?

Must be a coincidence!

The moment Lacis looked up, he happened to meet James' eyes, and a thought flashed in the minds of both of them.

Anthony was also a little excited after hitting a three-pointer. Although the defensive pressure he faced was not great, the game was like this. In many cases, there was no chance of easy shots, and consecutive hits would bring many different things.

"The Nuggets seem to be on the upswing. Melo's two three-pointers are as precious as gold. The Nuggets were already trailing by double digits. These two three-pointers brought the score closer to only one point left." 1 point!" Smith said slightly excitedly.

"I said that Melo can do it, but Coach Lacis is really calm. He didn't call a timeout at such a time. Does he believe in his team or in LeBron's ability to respond?" Barkley said. Said with a trace of joking, he has already turned from a passerby to a Melo fan.

"Who knows, let's wait and see!"

With a word from Smith, the fans' eyes were refocused on the court. At this time, James was standing at the free throw line, and he was ready to single Anthony again.
