Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 52 Record Night
Anthony knows that James' defense is very good, even if his physical strength is somewhat exhausted, it is not easy to score from his defense.

But now, Anthony's goal is not to score.

Anthony dribbled the ball twice under his crotch, tried several breakthroughs but failed to pass James, and then turned around and leaned on James' body to start a back hit.

This time, Anthony did not use brute force to hit the top, but made a half-turn to the right while relying on the hit. This turn and turn quickly caught James' defensive center of gravity to the right.

After feeling that it was almost done, he suddenly turned sharply to the left.

Seeing Anthony's change, James couldn't help showing a smile, and suddenly he lifted his center of gravity back to the left. He had already guessed that Anthony's previous attack was all a sham, and he was completely touched by his move. Thoroughly.

After Anthony turned around sharply, he went to the basket immediately after a "washing machine roundabout".

At this moment, James, who had already guessed Anthony's offensive intentions, used his strong physical fitness to keep up with Anthony's movements, and rushed towards the ball in his hand.

As long as Anthony makes a move, it will definitely be a hot pot.

James is ready to hit Anthony in the face with a big hat.

At this moment, the situation suddenly changed, and Anthony went directly to James, without dodging or evading.

"Snapped!"

Take the plunge.

Anthony was staggered and almost fell from the strong rush, but he grabbed the ball but didn't make a shot.

James' hand covered the ball, and then hit Anthony's wrist under the action of inertia.

"beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded immediately.

James thug foul!
Anthony steadied himself, glanced back at James, smiled slightly, and then shook the wrist that was hit.

James' face turned green for a moment.

"beep!"

The whistle sounded on the sidelines, the Cavaliers made substitutions and adjusted, and Miles came on to replace James.

James walked off the court helplessly, and he finally understood that Anthony's offense was not about scoring points at all. His purpose, his purpose of irritating himself was for this foul!

James should have expected this, but maybe because he played so smoothly without Anthony on the court, it made him a little carried away.

In the end, he could only sigh, and sat down on the bench, looking helplessly at the field.He has been fouled five times. Even if he stays on the court at this time, he can't let go of the fight. He might as well go to rest.

"Melo is very smart. This foul is too critical. The Cavaliers just played under the leadership of LeBron, and this immediately broke. This is a big blow to the Cavaliers!" Barkley said a little frustrated Originally, James recovered, and he was still looking forward to the wonderful matchup between James and Anthony, but this time...

"Melo is going to the free throw line. His performance in the third quarter can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, and he scored 11 points. However, as long as he hits these two free throws, his score will reach 45 points, which will be tied. He has the highest scoring record in the Spurs." Smith changed the subject, he seems to be more concerned about Anthony's scoring record than winning or losing the game, after all, it is very rare for a rookie to score such a high score.

While Smith and Barkley were talking, Anthony had already hit two free throws at the free throw line, raising his score to 45 points in one fell swoop. As long as he scored another point, he would break his scoring record.

"Wait! I just remembered that the highest scoring record for a rookie in the league is only 58 points. If Melo continues to play like this, this record will probably disappear tonight!" Barkley slapped his head violently and said excitedly.

"Amazing! 58 points, that's the record held by Wilt Chamberlain!" Smith also suddenly realized what Barkley said.

"I can't help but see the picture of Anthony breaking the coach's record. It was a full 43 years ago. Kenny, we shouldn't have been born at that time, right?" Barkley dragged his chin and said.

"Yeah, Fengchen's record, we are likely to be witnesses of history tonight." Smith looked at Anthony on the court and said with piercing eyes.

Anthony was crazy, completely crazy, and he also knew that the NBA rookie's scoring record was Wilt Chamberlain's 58 points. Now he has the opportunity to let Anthony's name be printed in NBA history, so he tried his best to score.

The Nuggets players and coaches also realized this and kept feeding Anthony the ball.

"Melo!..."

The fans at the scene shouted frantically for Anthony's scoring performance, and the sound echoed throughout the Pepsi Center for a long time.

Affected by the environment, the Cavaliers are trying their best to defend Anthony, Miles, Wagner, and even Boozer and Ilgauskas inside. As long as Anthony holds the ball, they will double-team them. , James' end seems to make them forget to win the game, but to prevent Anthony from completing the creation of the record.

Anthony went from one-man marking to two-teaming, and finally three-man and four-man defense. At the beginning, he was able to use his powerful scoring ability to score points. At the end, he had to face teammates who were open everywhere. Choose to pass the ball.

With 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers had fallen behind by 15 points, and James no longer needed to play again.

At this time, Anthony had scored 11 points in the fourth quarter, and the total score came to 56 points, which was only two points away from Chamberlain's record.

However, the last two points were extremely difficult.

The players of the Cavaliers were completely crazy. They didn't give Anthony a chance to catch the ball at all. When they received the ball, three or four people made a defense, completely ignoring other players. The strange scene made the fans on the scene stunned.

"Hush!..."

One after another, the overwhelming boos against the Cavaliers were deafening, but they couldn't change the way the Cavaliers played. They were determined not to let Anthony break the record.

The Nuggets' offense, the fans' shouts are still there, and Miller, who is in control of the ball, can't help but ooze sweat from his palms and forehead. He is now unguarded in front of him. Davis, who should have been defending him, is now crazy beside Anthony. The team is sandwiched, completely denying him a chance to catch the ball.

"Crazy!" Miller wiped his sweat, this is the first time he encountered such a situation in his career.

Anthony is also particularly uncomfortable at the moment. Since the Cavaliers released this abnormal defense, he has hardly received the ball in the second half of the fourth quarter.

He stood there panting heavily, and looked up to see that there were still 40 seconds left in the game. He still needs to score two more points to tie the record, but now it seems that these two points are really too much. Difficult.

"Are you really going to give up?"

An idea popped up in Anthony's mind, but he shook his head and shook it off immediately.

I have worked hard for the whole game, there is no reason to give up at this time!
Anthony took a deep breath, looked at the surrounding situation, and suddenly accelerated to run to the side, but soon encountered Wagner's block, and did not give him a chance at all.

At this moment, he suddenly ran towards the midfield. This abnormal behavior surprised both Davis and Wagner.

With such a time difference, Anthony finally broke through the double-team.

The moment Anthony ran out, he shouted: "Miller give the ball!"

Seeing Anthony running out, Miller hurriedly passed the ball, and then called Barry to pick and roll.

For a moment, near the three-point line, four people entangled into a ball, and Anthony just got into the three-point line proudly from the crowd.

But at this moment, Miles and Boozer rushed out almost immediately. Anthony had no chance to break through, so he could only choose to pull out.

Miles and Boozer rushed forward with all their teeth and claws, and the two formed a net in midair and flew towards Anthony.

Anthony shot quickly, and the ball flew out of the gap between the two, but the angle was obviously off.

But at this moment, Anthony was directly knocked out by the rushing Boozer.

Anthony only felt that his body was hit hard, and then he fell straight to the ground, with his waist heavily on the ground.

"boom!"

A sharp pain came from his waist, causing him to curl up immediately.

"Wow!..."

At this moment, the fans in the audience went crazy. The players on the Nuggets bench also hid their faces and couldn't bear to watch. The Nuggets team doctor rushed onto the field quickly.

Anthony gritted his teeth, the pain from his waist made him dare not move at all, he was suddenly a little scared, but he knew clearly that McGrady was injured like this, a genius directly became an ordinary star.

The team doctor rushed to his side, lowered his head and started asking about his condition.

Anthony pounded the floor hard.

Perhaps the team doctor was aware of the seriousness of the situation and was about to call for a stretcher.

At this moment, Anthony reached out and stopped him.

After Anthony grabbed the team doctor's hand, he took a few deep breaths to calm down his nervousness, then moved his waist, trying to feel it.

Suddenly, he felt no pain anymore.

The team doctor supported Anthony to stand up. After Anthony tried to twist twice, the tingling sensation just now disappeared, and he let out a long breath.

Fortunately...it was just a false alarm...

However, the Cavaliers' approach is really unacceptable.

Anthony stared coldly at Boozer and Miles who were watching from a distance. Although their actions just now were not completely offensive, they were really too dangerous.

Sensing Anthony's cold gaze, both Myers and Boozer bowed their heads unconsciously, especially Boozer, who was clenching his fists at the moment, felt that he had done too much.

At this time, the referee ran over and asked Anthony how he was, whether he could make free throws, and Anthony nodded.

Because Boozer was not a rushing foul, although Anthony was almost injured, the referee only gave an ordinary foul.

There was boos at the scene.

Anthony didn't care too much, twisted his body and walked to the free throw line.

Taking two deep breaths, Anthony let his mind relax. His eyes lost the noise around him, as if he was not standing on the field, but standing on an open grassland. His eyes were like the sea. Big hoop, he glanced at it.

Bend your knees, extend your hands, bend your fingers, and move your wrists, all movements are synthesized in one go.

The ball spun and fell towards the net bag.

"Shua!..."

First.

"Shua!..."

the second.

Two free throws, the ball fell steadily into the net bag.

At this moment, Anthony has never relaxed before.

After the free throw, Coach Cooper immediately replaced Anthony. Although Anthony didn't feel it at the moment, he must have been injured when he fell like this. It may not be possible to determine the extent of the injury without an examination.

"MVP!..."

All the fans at the scene stood up and shouted excitedly, some even shed tears excitedly, they didn't know what they were cursing.

Finally, the Nuggets will forever be recorded in history.

Carmelo Anthony scored 58 points, tying Wilt Chamberlain's rookie scoring record.

When Anthony walked to the bench, he looked up at the fans standing around. He stretched out his hand and clapped his hands, his eyes were sore, feeling a lot of emotion for a while.

Record night.
