Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 50 Crazy James
(Please comfort...please reward...[-] words, I have to write for three or four days...)
In the locker room of the Cavaliers, the players were sitting on the chairs depressed. Coach Lacis was analyzing the performance of the team in the first half, but it seemed that the players were a little distracted. So eager to win.

But there is one person, although his mental state is not very good, but his eyes are always shining. He is the No. [-] pick of the Cavaliers this year, "Little Emperor" LeBron James.

"Okay, that's the end of the analysis. We still have a chance. The key is to pinch Anthony's point. His touch in the second quarter is surprisingly good, but after the end of the break, it should be cold. We started the second half. People, wait for him to go down and play zone defense, so that the score can be brought back slowly, right..."

At this point in the analysis, Lacis suddenly looked at James and said, "LeBron, if Anthony continues to feel hot, you should stop marking him in the second half."

James looked at Lacis suspiciously, not understanding what the coach meant.

"In the first half, I thought you could limit him, but he has a good touch, which has nothing to do with your defense, so I am going to let you save some energy in the second half, you just need to blow up on the offensive end He can do it, for defense, I will let Wagner be the main defense, and you can make up the defense according to the time, which can also play your characteristics." Lacis continued.

After listening to James, he nodded firmly in his eyes. Lacis's arrangement is still very reasonable. He was indeed a bit hesitant when defending Anthony in the first half. Not to mention being provoked by Anthony, his mentality has also undergone a great change. , if he switches defenses, he only needs to attack heartily.

"By the way, Ricky, let LeBron organize the offense after halftime in the second half." Lacis continued to order.

Davis obviously didn't expect the coach to say that, he stood up from his seat with a "swish": "Coach, I..."

Lacis interrupted him with his hand: "Your characteristic is scoring ability. If you let LeBron organize it, you can also play your characteristic. You know that the team has lost four games in a row. If it continues to lose, I will probably lose it." Leave, and you won't have a good time when the time comes, the higher-ups act swiftly and resolutely."

Davis wanted to say something more, but the words stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak for a while, so he had better sit down.

When James heard what Lacis said, he unconsciously cast a look of respect at him. Although he is strong, he is only a rookie in the final analysis. He is naturally grateful to have such a great trust from the coach.

"Melo, you wait, I won't care about your personal gains and losses in the second half, I want to lead the team to this game!"

James said secretly in his heart.

The intermission time for halftime came soon. After the players from both sides returned to the field and did a simple warm-up, the second half of the game between the two sides began.

The starting lineups of the two sides in the second half have not changed from the first half, and they are still the starting five.

Barkley and Smith also returned to the commentary. The two were shocked by Anthony's crazy performance in the first half. Now the second half of the game has just started, and the focus of the discussion between the two has not changed.

"Hey, Kenny, if I remember correctly, Melo scored 32 points in the first half?" Bacchus turned to Smith and asked.

"Yes, he took 15 shots in the first half and hit 11 goals, a very crazy shooting rate." Smith said in admiration.

"What's his career scoring record?" Barkley continued.

"Hey, Charles, Melo only played four games, don't you remember?" Smith knew that Barkley asked knowingly and didn't cooperate with him.

"Well, Kenny, I remember his scoring record is 45 points, today's game continues like this, the point of view has changed from winning to whether Melo can break his personal scoring record, or the Nuggets Personal scoring record in a single game." Barkley finally revealed his real purpose.

"According to this trend, it should be possible. Let's look at the second half of the two sides. The game has already begun."

As soon as Smith's words fell, the Nuggets had sent the ball from the bottom line.

Anthony was observing the changes on the court when he passed the midfield. Seeing that the Cavaliers had returned to man-to-man defense, he couldn't help but smile. It seems that his burst of three-pointers made the Cavaliers very difficult. Dare to use the defense again.

However, when he fell into position, he suddenly found that the man marking him had been replaced by Wagner. This small change surprised him a little.

But it was better to switch to Wagner. How could he miss such an opportunity? After he fell to the free throw line, he quickly asked Miller for the ball.

The Nuggets players also immediately pulled the defender beyond the three-point line.

Wagner is only 1.91 meters tall, which can be said to be half a head shorter than Anthony.

The moment Anthony received the ball, he turned right suddenly, and the second grader was passed by him in an instant.

Faced with a completely open space, Anthony accelerated his breakthrough, then jumped up and dunked vigorously with both hands.

"Oh, the Cavaliers don't know what to think. They actually use a guard to defend Melo. This is completely a gift~" Barkley said with some disappointment.

"Maybe I don't want LeBron to consume too much energy, but the gap in matchup strength is too big." Smith is also puzzled by the Cavaliers' defensive strategy.

After Wagner was easily passed by Anthony, he seemed a little frustrated. James walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's okay, just try harder with the ball, and I will get these two points back."

Wagner looked at James' firm eyes, shook his head to get rid of the frustrated state, and nodded vigorously.

In the Cavaliers' offense, Anthony was originally defending James, but the Cavaliers used the pick-and-roll to dislocate, and James directly faced Barry after holding the ball.

Although Barry is old, he still has a certain skill in defense. He stands in a defensive position to prevent James from easily breaking through.

But everything is relative. Barry's defense is at the middle level, but it is obviously not enough to face James.

After James sank down, he suddenly accelerated you to break through, and the strong overlord step squeezed Barry aside, and then stepped on three steps to forcefully dunk.

Nene is guarding the basket at this time, how could he let James succeed easily, jump up and prepare to block the shot.

But maybe because he didn't match up with James, he underestimated James' strength. After the two collided in mid-air, both of them almost bounced away, but James threw the ball to rebound.

With a beep, the referee whistled and Nene made a defensive foul.

After the ball hit the backboard, it also rolled into the net bag.

Seeing the ball go in, James, who staggered and stood still, let out a roar and waved his hands vigorously.

Anthony saw James' actions from beyond the three-point line, which was 2-17 points similar to that in the game. When the [-]K series of games reached [-] points, it was obviously very realistic.

James made a free throw, and the Cavaliers recovered a point.

Wagner was the rookie of the Cavaliers last year. He scored 13.4 points in his rookie season, and he was the No. 6 rookie last year. Although a little frustrated, he still regained his morale under the encouragement of James. Now that James really fulfilled what he said just now, he couldn't help but pat his chest to prevent the ball.

As soon as Anthony came over, he couldn't wait to push up.

The Nuggets' offense is naturally to continue to let Anthony play singles. With such a good dislocation, they will naturally take good care of it.

Miller saw that Anthony was in position, and hit the ball directly at the right angle.

But at this moment, a white figure suddenly appeared on his passing path.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound.

"LeBron steals the ball! This judgment is too accurate!" Barkley couldn't help shouting when he saw James' stealing the ball.

After the steal, James ran to the backcourt quickly, and threw the ball forward in the face of Miller's defense. He scored the ball and got rid of Miller's defense directly.

His eyes are already wide open.

James is accelerating.

In the blink of an eye, he has arrived at the backcourt of the Nuggets. He takes off from the free throw line with one step, raises his left hand above his head, and grabs the ball with his right hand. Following Malone's movements, he glides for a long distance in mid-air, and then slams the ball hard. Drum into the basket.

"boom!"

A loud bang extinguished the cheers of the fans from head to toe.

James still looked very excited after dunking, clapping his hands on his chest and roaring vigorously.

"Beautiful!" Smith couldn't help shouting, "LeBron has recovered! This strategy of the Cavaliers has worked!"

Anthony was standing in the backcourt at this time, looking at James who was excited after scoring, he couldn't help frowning.

The status of the players is adjusted by scoring, as is the case with Anthony, and so is the case with James.

Wagner defended very hard. Although he couldn't fundamentally limit Anthony, James' side defense made Anthony a little hard to defend. Although he succeeded in scoring the ball most of the time, he was also intercepted several times.

After James played against Barry, he was completely open, leaning back, breaking through the overlord, attacking the basket, and even shooting three-pointers. In this wave, he almost swept all the points of the Cavaliers.

The runaway James made the Cavaliers come from behind. Halfway through the third quarter, they were only 80 points behind 85:5.

Cooper saw that the situation on the court was not right. This immobile coach may have been instructed by the executives during the midfield. He finally called the first timeout of the Nuggets' factory game.

Anthony looked up at the score on the field, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and walked to the bench thoughtfully.
