Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 79 Not afraid of God-like opponents
Anthony sat on the sidelines, wiping the sweat from his brow with a towel.

Beside him, Wang Zhizhi bowed his head panting, sweating profusely.

Obviously, Wang Zhizhi's physical strength has reached its limit. Although he is more of a spot-up shooter in offense, it is still quite difficult to defend against Nowitzki.

"Wang goes off first, Camby goes up, Melo and Andre also rest first, Rodney and Earl go up for a few minutes, remember to play in this way, tight on defense, and on offense, Earl If your quick counterattack comes out, I don’t have many requirements. Five minutes before the second quarter, your minimum requirement is to maintain this point difference. Can you do it?”

D'Antoni said quickly, and then stretched out his hand and put it in the center.

One by one, the Nuggets players stacked their hands on it.

"Can it be done?" D'Antoni asked again.

"Yes!" The Nuggets players uttered a neat slogan, and everyone pressed down suddenly before they dispersed.

This is the way D'Antoni asked to motivate the team after he took over. He did not deliberately emphasize morale like Bzdelik, but he also made players always aware of the importance of the team. Sharing the ball is the essence of bombardment tactics.

After Anthony dispersed, he sat on the bench and turned to see Wang Zhizhi's pale face. He asked with some concern, "Wang, can you bear it?"

"Fortunately..." Wang Zhizhi forced a smile and said.

Anthony smiled and turned his head away without saying a word. Wang Zhizhi hadn't played a fierce confrontation match for a long time, and he couldn't keep up with his physical strength. It must be enough now, but the opportunity is in front of him, no matter how tired he is, he has to grab it, and he can't help what.

On the field, the substitutes of the Nuggets and the Mavericks had a fierce duel. Although there was a gap in strength from the starters, sparks were still shining.

The Mavericks are on the court at this time with a full bench lineup, Aidondo Najera, Antawn Jamison, Josh Howard, Marquese Daniels and Tony Delk, compared to the Nuggets' As a substitute, although Nene and Camby are sitting at the moment, the strength of the Mavericks' substitutes can be said to be absolutely not inferior.

The Mavericks still play run-and-gun tactics. Jamison, Howard and Daniels take turns to bomb the basket. Although they are not as gorgeous as when Nash was on the court, the offensive firepower is quite strong, especially Jamison. The player who scored 20 plus points, played the role of sixth man this season, his tactical movement is very clear, and he can always find shots at key points.

However, the Nuggets' substitutes were not to be outdone. Nene and Camby followed D'Antoni's tactical arrangement to pull the Mavericks' big man to the three-point line. Stop to attack the city for the Nuggets.

The Mavericks played more systematically, while the Nuggets relied on Boykins' chaotic ability to stalemate. The two sides passed more than half of the quarter unconsciously in the back and forth rounds.

38:46
With 7 minutes left in the second quarter, the main players of both sides came on the field. The Nuggets' substitutes not only maintained the point difference for a period of time, but even went further, and even narrowed the single digits. Eakins contributed a lot. In terms of bombardment tactics, he played as the sixth man and was able to score points well.

Anthony rested for most of the quarter and returned to the battle. Wang Zhizhi played with him because of his outstanding performance before, and Camby temporarily rested off the court.

The Nuggets players did another morale-boosting action, and everyone's faces were filled with excitement, but only one person, Leonard, who had just escaped from the drug storm, had a gloomy face and a heart full of excitement. It's just a complaint. Not to mention the change of coach when he came back, even his tactical status slipped instantly.

Although he is at a disadvantage in the battle with Anthony, but now, even the tactical status of the fixed-point three-point shooter is almost taken away by Wang Zhizhi. Yes, if this goes on like this, how can he not complain?

It's just that the others didn't notice the change in Leonard's expression, and they were all gearing up to regain the momentum in one fell swoop.

Anthony fell to the frontcourt, and the Nuggets attacked first after the timeout. He glanced at Miller who was holding the ball from the outside, and began to use Nene and Wang Zhizhi's pick-and-roll along the baseline to get rid of the defense.

Nene and Wang Zhizhi also moved quickly after the pick-and-roll, one moved to the basket, and the other moved to the left corner.

Anthony ran out of space, and Miller's pass was passed quickly, but at this moment Anthony's defender suddenly changed from Walker to Finley.

Finley was known for his physical fitness at his peak, and his defense rarely attempted risky steals. Generally speaking, this is a defender who is not strong in defense, but still much better than Walker.

The Mavericks suddenly switched defenses and let Finley, one of the tridents, defend Anthony. It has clearly expressed their importance to Anthony.

After receiving the ball, Anthony tried to make a few cross steps, but he couldn't get rid of Finley. He didn't attack hard, and returned the ball directly to Miller, and then continued to run back around the baseline.

The other Nuggets players were also exercising at this time. After a few mutual pick-and-rolls, both Leonard and Wang Zhizhi found an open three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

Miller was about to give the ball to Leonard at the first moment, but at the moment he was about to make a shot, Nash suddenly came up and his pass was a little slower.

Although the ball was passed, the direct result of the dominoes was that the moment Leonard received the ball, Walker had already bullied him, and he had lost the best chance to make a move.

However, Wang Zhizhi's bottom corner still has a chance to make a call. As long as the pass is passed, it will definitely be a wonderful assist.

Wang Zhizhi opened his hands and was ready to catch the ball.

Nowitzki also suddenly remembered the previous scene, and he turned around to guard Wang Zhizhi.

"Pass the ball! Walsh!" Anthony saw that Leonard did not pass the ball at the first time, and couldn't help shouting to remind him that this kind of opportunity is fleeting. When Nowitzki makes up for it, Wang Zhizhi will have no chance. up.

However, Leonard's approach surprised everyone. Facing Walker who came up to defend, he chose to forcefully pull out.

Walker opened his big hand and covered it directly.

Leonard dodged Walker's block in the air and twisted his shot.

"Damn it!" D'Antoni at the other end of the court saw this scene and couldn't help cursing aloud. Sharing the ball is the most basic requirement for running and bombing. I didn't expect this Leonard to rely on his old man.

Anthony also coughed up blood in his heart. He said that he was not afraid of god-like opponents but pig-like teammates. This time it was staged in reality.

"Dangdang!"

There was a crisp sound of iron striking, and the ball fell into the hands of Bradley under the basket without any accidents. At this time, there were already three figures making fast breaks. It can even be said that they had already started to move forward the moment Leonard made a shot. The field ran away.

Nash, Finley, Walker, three lightning-like figures made a quick three-line fast break.

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Coach Cooper couldn't help shouting.

It's just that the Nuggets players at this moment, two are in the bottom corner, one is inside, and the other has just finished throwing the ball. Only Miller can barely keep up.

Nash quickly advanced to the frontcourt, three-on-one, passed the ball a few times easily, and finally Walker dunked and scored two points.

The fans at the scene shouted again.

"beep!"

D'Antoni immediately called a timeout. He was most afraid of running and bombing, so he had to contain it now.

The Nuggets players gathered around, D'Antoni finished the tactics, and finally added: "When you catch the ball, you must look at the position of your teammates. If you have a better opportunity, you must pass it out. If you can't score the ball, it's easy. Get hit by the Mavericks, you understand?"

"understand……"

The players responded sparsely, as long as anyone could hear who D'Antoni was talking about, but he didn't name his name, which can be regarded as saving some face for Leonard.

"Okay, let's work together!" D'Antoni said and stretched out his hand.

After a burst of encouragement, the timeout came just in time, and the players from both sides went into battle again.

In the next few rounds, Leonard wore the ball in a regular manner, and the Nuggets' offense also recovered, but in the back-and-forth battles, no one took much advantage, and the point difference has been maintained. In ten or so.

52:63
The Nuggets are still 11 points behind, with the last [-] seconds left in the second quarter.

In the Nuggets' round, Anthony and Wang Zhizhi still ran to the bottom corner through the pick-and-roll, while Nene and Camby blocked the defenders tightly, and there were two big open positions on the huge court.

"Corner! Corner defender!" Old Nelson saw that the Nuggets easily ran out of two big open positions. This coach who didn't pay much attention to defense was also cornered, and couldn't help roaring loudly.

Walker and Nowitzki swing out of the pick-and-roll and head toward both corners.

But it seems time is running out.

As long as either Anthony or Wang Zhizhi catches the ball, the probability of the ball hitting is at least [-] to [-]%!
The ball is in Leonard's hands.

Leonard's glasses were a little red, and the anger in his heart had been suppressed to the limit: Why!Why are they always the end point of scoring!I have already followed the coach's arrangement, but why didn't I have a chance to make a shot in the end!I am not reconciled!The spotlight is left to them, but I can only dimly hold a small contract, I am not reconciled!

After thinking about it, Leonard's head went blank, and he once again chose to take a dry shot against Finley's defense.

Anthony, who was about to catch the ball, was stunned by the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but swear: "Dug, come here too?!"

Finley took a leap, and he quickly appeared in Leonard's airspace with superior jumping ability.

"Snapped!"

Unsurprisingly, with a crisp sound, Leonard's ball was slammed out of the field.
