Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 78 Raiders
"Melo! You're so handsome! It's great to have you around!" Nene said excitedly, patting Anthony on the shoulder as he walked. How could he not be hi!

"Good job!" Miller also came up and bumped Anthony.

Anthony smiled and said nothing. Although the point difference is still in double digits, it is obvious that the Nuggets swept away their previous decadence and their morale finally returned.

D'Antoni looked very calm at this time, he suddenly pointed to Wang Zhizhi at the end of the bench, motioning for him to come over.

Wang Zhizhi sat off the court for most of the day, and when he saw the coach calling him, his face immediately burst into excitement. He took off his coat and got up. You must know that he has not played at this point for a long time, and this is exclusive to the rotation time.

D'Antoni held the tactical board and motioned for the Nuggets players to gather around.

"Wait for Camby to take a break, and Nene moved to the inside to play the fifth position. Bradley doesn't have much offensive ability, you just need to stand up to him. On the offensive end, remember to look for opportunities through pick-and-rolls. As for Wang... "

D'Antoni pointed at Wang Zhizhi as he spoke.

Wang Zhizhi quickly put his head in.

"Wang, you just need to ambush in the bottom corner, pull Nowitzki to the bottom corner, and free the Mavericks inside." D'Antoni said while drawing on the tactical board.

Wang Zhizhi nodded repeatedly.

"Wash, you block Finley later, don't let him go to the bottom corner, remember, you must block it, Finley moves very fast." D'Antoni turned his head and told Leonard special road.

Hearing that he was asking himself to cover, Leonard's face was not particularly good, but he nodded.

"Mello, the Mavericks' defensive focus will definitely take care of you at this moment. You have to pay attention to their two backcourts. Nash and Finley are both fast. You have to protect the ball. They are quick. "D'Antoni then said to Anthony.

Anthony nodded. D'Antoni's tactical layout is very clear, and he will also arrange tactics according to the characteristics of the players, which is far above Bzdelik and Cooper.

D'Antoni drew the positions of several people on the tactical board, then pointed to the five people who were going to play, and said: "Melo caught the ball at the free throw line, Nene and Wang made a pick and roll, Melo took advantage of the opportunity to kill To the inside, as long as the Mavericks are not stupid, they will definitely use the inside to delay Melo. At this time, Miller slipped from the left side of the baseline, Nene returned to the basket, Wang moved to the bottom corner of the right wing, and Walsh blocked his man , Melo, you judge whether to attack or pass according to the changes on the field."

D'Antoni gestured on the tactical board for a while, and spoke out the entire tactical arrangement in one breath.

Listening to the coach's arrangement, the Nuggets players kept nodding their heads. The most excited one was Wang Zhizhi. He was not well received in the Clippers. He usually didn't have a chance to play during the garbage time of the game. Now it's the Nuggets. , Not to mention playing during the rotation time, but also being regarded as the tactical end point, he was already indescribably moved.

It is said that a scholar dies for a confidant, and he really has a feeling of a thousand-mile horse meeting Bole at the moment.

Anthony looked at the light in Wang Zhizhi's eyes, and couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that his decision was correct. As long as you have the ability to score, D'Antoni's subordinates can discuss everything else, and this is the most suitable for Wang Zhizhi to play. place.

"beep!"

As soon as D'Antoni finished setting up his tactics, the referee on the sidelines blew the whistle to start the game, and the camera that was broken by Anthony's shock finally returned to work.

Anthony walked to the field and saw the Mavericks walking from the bench talking and laughing. It seemed that the Mavericks didn't pay much attention to the Nuggets.

Anthony couldn't help but clenched his fists, thinking to himself: You will pay a price for underestimating your opponent!

"Hey, Erwin, isn't that Wang Zhizhi? When was he traded to the Nuggets?" Brown asked suspiciously when he saw Wang Zhizhi playing.

Although Wang Zhizhi did not show his due strength in the NBA, as one of the few Chinese, he is still known by many people.

"This... I don't know, but his defense has always been questioned. How dare Mike put him on the court at this point? Is it a surprise player? Or is it a deliberate behavior to confuse the opponent?" Johnson also did not understand D'Antoni's intention.

"No matter what, the Nuggets' already unoptimistic defense may be even worse. It's 4v5 on the court. This situation is not optimistic." Brown shook his head and said, obviously, he was not too cold for Wang Zhizhi.

"To be honest, I don't think Wang's defense has reached the average level of the NBA, but Mike must have his own ideas if he dared to do this. Let's see the next game." The team still maintains a sense of expectation. After all, Anthony has proved more than once that he can perform miracles.

Back from the timeout, the Mavericks' offense, Nash controlled the ball on the outside, his gestures kept changing, directing his teammates to move, and he was constantly observing to see if there was a chance.

The Nuggets were affected by Anthony's slam dunk before, and their morale also rose a lot. They took a breath and kept the Mavericks' offense and defense tight.

Nash observed at the top of the circle for a while, and suddenly accelerated to the inside after finding no chance.

Miller retreated to the frontier, always staying in front of Nash.

At this moment, Nash suddenly waved his hand.

Nowitzki suddenly raised his whole body, and his huge body covered Miller.

Nash gave the ball to Nowitzki with a hand-to-hand pass, and then ran to the right.

Nowitzki barely stopped the ball. When Nash ran over, he gave the ball back directly. The only difference was that both Wang Zhizhi and Miller were blocked by him on the left side.

The characteristics of Wang Zhizhi's slow defensive movement were fully exposed.

Nash seized the short-lived opportunity that appeared in the pick-and-roll, and threw the ball directly after receiving the ball.

With a "whoosh", the ball went into the net hollow.

The Mavericks scored another two points.

Nash was very calm, stroked his long hair, clapped hands with Nowitzki and retreated to the backcourt.

Miller stood there in frustration. Nash's speed was too fast, and it was very difficult for him to keep up. What's more, the tacit cooperation with Nowitzki was impossible to guard against.

Anthony saw Miller's abnormal expression, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Andre, it's okay, didn't the coach say that the team with more points wins, we just need to score our own points. "

"Well." Miller nodded. Since Anthony helped him prove himself at the Clippers' home court, he can be said to have great respect for Anthony.

Wang Zhizhi served the ball out of bounds, Miller controlled the ball and advanced to the half court, and the Nuggets players started to move according to D'Antoni's arrangement.

Sure enough, as D'Antoni expected, when Anthony went inside through the pick-and-roll, the Mavericks double-teamed at the right time, and the double-teams were Nowitzki and Walker.

Anthony quickly glanced at the other positions of the Nuggets players during the movement. Wang Zhizhi has reached the right corner, Miller is also slipping to the baseline, Leonard is still entangled with Finley, and Nene is also at the basket To a favorable position.

It can be said that the Nuggets played the previous tactics of the Mavericks in this round, and there were three scoring points on the court for a while, which was rare in the previous Nuggets.

Anthony didn't hesitate, and threw the ball to the right corner before Nowitzki and Walker formed a double-team.

Nowitzki saw Anthony's movement and suddenly realized that Wang Zhizhi was in the corner. He knew that his former teammate had a good three-pointer, so he hurried back.

But it's too late.

Wang Zhizhi kept catching the ball all the time. As soon as Anthony's pass arrived, he glanced at the basket and jumped up to make a shot.

Nowitzki only made it at this time, and the moment he jumped up became the background after the three-pointer was shot.

"Must go in!"

Wang Zhizhi still maintained the posture of making a move, but he couldn't help praying in his heart.

Anthony also couldn't help but look up. Wang Zhizhi's shot is very important to him. After all, he just came from the edge to the rotation, and self-confidence is very important.

The ball made a whirling arc.

across a perfect parabola.

"Shh!"

There was a crisp sound of entering the net.

Wang Zhizhi made a three-pointer!
Wang Zhizhi patted his chest excitedly, then ran to Anthony's side, and gave him a high five in celebration.

Anthony also showed a smile. Wang Zhizhi took the initiative to find him, indicating that he had let go of most of the burden in his heart. Although he still has a lot to improve technically, for players, self-confidence is the most important thing.

Wang Zhizhi hit a three-pointer, and D'Antoni finally showed a burst of excitement. He was even more relieved that the tactical execution of the Nuggets players was very good. His two timeout tactics were completely played out. Most gratifying.

The Nuggets opened up the offensive end and made continuous shots, but the pressure on the defensive end did not drop much. As the team's commander, Nash Mingrui noticed the loopholes in Wang Zhizhi's defense. Opportunity to hand the ball into Nowitzki's hands.

Nowitzki played against Wang Zhizhi, and the two were not at the same level in terms of technology or physical fitness. It was a completely crushing duel.

The fans at the scene saw Nowitzki scoring goals again and again, and shouted waves of mountains and tsunamis. Their happiest thing was that they could see the scene of "Dirk Chariot" crushing opponents every night.

But crushing is crushing. After Anthony played, the Nuggets have a strong point in tactics. Although Walker is strong, his defense is not his strong point. , The Nuggets' fast player movement and easy opportunities.

Wang Zhizhi benefited from this, hit two three-pointers, one two-pointer, and scored 8 points in just a few minutes.

In the second half of the first quarter, after Anthony came on the court, the two sides ran and bombed and ran and bombed, and the battle ended in a tie.

26: 36.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets were still ten points behind.
