Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 97 People who imitate Jordan (all ordered 100 plus more)

"yeah!……"

The fans at the scene suddenly burst into roars, and the whistles mixed with them showed their inner excitement. It had been a long time since the Nuggets had no outside player hit a three-pointer, and they were already hungry and thirsty.

"The Nuggets got a great deal..." Drexler said with envy when he saw Bell hit a three-pointer. As a celebrity, he naturally understood the importance of a 3D player like Bell to the team.

Bell hit a three-pointer, and there was a hint of excitement on his face, and it could be seen that he was holding back a lot of energy in his heart.

When retreating to the half-court position, Bell ran to Anthony's side, and said with gratitude in his eyes: "Melo, thank you for believing in me..."

"Just play like this, you will prove yourself." Anthony said with a smile, then turned around and threw himself into defense.

Bell looked at Anthony's back, clenched his fists involuntarily, and said to himself, "I will definitely!"

For the Mavericks' offense, Finley just arrived in the frontcourt, found Bell, and didn't do a pick-and-roll, and directly asked Nash for the ball.

The United States advocates individual basketball heroism, and Finley is also one of the three core cores of the team. The lost field will naturally be found.

Seeing Finley's request, after Nash waved his teammates to pull away, he threw the ball into Finley's hands without hesitation.

After receiving the ball, Finley put on a three-threat pose and said, "Boy, I don't know who you are, but this ball, I'm sure of you!"

Bell's face was still calm, and he couldn't see any emotional fluctuations.

After Finley finished speaking, he was waiting for Bell's counterattack, but he didn't expect Bell to have such an expression. His originally unhappy mood suddenly became very annoyed, and he went straight to work with a gloomy face.

The Mavericks' tactic this time is to single Finley, so the space is very open, and Finley doesn't have to worry about being double-teamed. He holds the ball and starts to cross-step directly.

Bell stretched out his hands, his glasses stared at Finley's shoulders, and followed his offensive line to adjust his defensive focus so as not to lose his defensive position.

Finley took a few cross steps and saw that Bell hadn't lost his defensive position. He couldn't help showing vigilance in his eyes. If he didn't pay attention to Bell in the previous ball, he also put away his contempt now. heart of.

Finley saw that the cross step was impossible, so he took a sudden step forward, followed by a crotch and then retracted.

Bell still stuck very close, and Finley didn't get rid of him.

Seeing that he still couldn't make it through, Finley's face became extremely serious. He looked up at the timer. He had already wasted nearly ten seconds just now, and he had no time to procrastinate.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, and then used his trump card, back-to-back singles.

Finley's post-up singles are absolutely top-notch in the league, imitating the basketball god Jordan's fadeaway jumper is also seven or eight points, and it is precisely because of this that he has grown from an ordinary star to one of the Mavericks' tridents .

Turning around and leaning against Bell's body, Finley grasped the change of Bell's center of gravity, and began to dig in one by one.

Bell stared at Finley's body, stretched his hands, and lowered his center of gravity with all his strength, but his body was still much thinner than Finley's. Being pushed one by one by him, the center of gravity of defense began to become unstable.

Two people, one attacking and the other defending, just moved slowly towards the three-second zone.

The attack time is also constantly passing. When Finley is less than two meters away from the basket, there are only 6 or 7 seconds left in the attack time.

Finley glanced back to see the time flashing on the timer behind him, and turned sharply to the right with a sudden jerk.

Bell sensed the change in Finley and hurried to the right.

At this moment, Finley jumped up suddenly, and then flew back, his body arched slightly in midair.

At this time, Anthony was pulled to the left and right bottom corners by Walker. When he saw Finley jump up and make a fadeaway jumper, he couldn't help flashing the countless jump shots that Jordan had staged in his mind.

The picture in front of me turned out to be so similar!
After jumping, Finley leaned back a lot, leaning on his slightly arched body to keep his balance, aiming at the basket in mid-air, raised his arms suddenly, and shot extremely high.

Bell felt that the moment Finley jumped up, Finley had already been slowed down by a beat at the moment of jumping up, and with Finley leaning back a lot, he couldn't interfere with Finley's peeking at all, but he The defensive awareness is very high. Seeing that there is no interference, he staggers to the side to avoid being called a foul.

Finley used his trump card, flicked his wrist, and the ball flew towards the basket while spinning.

"Shh!"

The ball crossed a high parabola and plunged into the net bag suddenly.

Finley scored two points with a jumper!

"Oh, Finley's fadeaway jumper! It really has the charm of Michael. Not only does it look similar, but it can be used to such a proficient level. It is the only one in the league today, and there is no semicolon!" Varel said to Finley. The jump shot was full of praise.

"Finley's jump shot is really good. Not only did he imitate the action, but he also grasped the essence of Michael's jump shot. The release point is high and the fallback is large. These make it difficult for defensive players to take effective defensive approaches. La Jia seems to be in trouble." Drexler said with some expectation.

After Finley scored the goal, he gave Bell a vicious look and shook his head in disdain.

After Bell landed, seeing Finley's ball go in, and looking back to see Finley's provocative eyes, a trace of annoyance could not help but appear on his face.

Anthony saw Bell's reaction, and then thought about his previous internal training performance. Knowing that he is a person with a sensitive personality, he stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Raja, you defended well!"

Bell turned his head and looked at Anthony suspiciously.

Anthony shrugged his shoulders and said, "There's nothing we can do if the goal is scored. Luck is not on our side. The next ball will be on our side."

"Yeah." Bell also knew that Anthony was really encouraging him, and his complexion was better than before. He forced a smile and ran to the frontcourt.

In the next two rounds, the Mavericks, who had just tasted the sweetness, continued to let Finley single Bell.

Bell also went all out, pushing Finley desperately, making him feel very uncomfortable when he made the shot.

However, I don't know if what Anthony said played a role, or Bell stepped up his defensive strength. Finley failed to make a hit in two consecutive singles.

After this back and forth, the point difference was slowly forced closer, and the Mavericks also gave up the idea of ​​letting Finley continue to work alone.

Thanks to this, the loopholes in the Nuggets' defense were also solved at once. The Mavericks played a lot harder than before. In the next few minutes, the two teams actually fought evenly.

There were less than 3 minutes left in the first quarter. At 25:28, the Nuggets were only 3 points behind. At this time, the two sides entered the rotation time.

On the Nuggets side, Mutombo, Wang Zhizhi, Wallace, and Korver all played, and Miller was left in the starting lineup. On the Mavericks side, Jamison, Daniels, Howard and other rotation players also all appeared.

When Bell was off the court, D'Antoni walked up to him and said encouragingly: "Good job!"

After hearing D'Antoni's words, Bell couldn't hold back the excitement on his face. He was obviously very happy to be affirmed by the coach.

Anthony is also sitting off the court at the moment, sitting next to Barry and chatting.

To say that Barry doesn't mind not playing at all. In his plan, after the end of this season, he will decide whether to retire depending on his physical condition. In the days when Leonard was absent, he took the starting position, and the substitute also suddenly Vacuum, super long playing time, he can be said to be excessively exhausted, and he can't sleep well when he goes back to sleep. Now he can rest for a while, and he is naturally happy.

After chatting with Barry and knowing this, Anthony is quite optimistic about the prospects of the team. Many veterans care about playing time, like Leonard is an example. In the end, it will only make the atmosphere of the locker room very bad. But it is a kind of luck for the team to have an old player like Barry. His experience, whether it is for Bell or Korver, will play a vital role.

The people off the court were chatting leisurely, but the substitutes on the court were fighting with all their strength.

Although Jamison is only a substitute player for the Mavericks this season, he usually plays a lot of playing time. Let alone his annual salary of over [-] million, his personal ability is enough to be the starter of any team. Six people are also needed by the team.

Now after he came on the field, the Mavericks repeatedly handed the ball to him to finish through the smooth cooperation. As soon as he came up, he had already scored 6 points with shots and penalties.

On the other hand, the Nuggets' substitutes, because they are all new to the team, are playing run-and-gun tactics at the moment. They are unfamiliar with tactics. Although Miller is in charge, they are really ugly. , After going up, I haven't been able to score even a point.

D'Antoni turned around and walked towards the technical table, preparing to call a short timeout.

Anthony was sitting on the bench, and he could see the team's performance clearly. When he saw D'Antoni calling a timeout, he quickly got up and ran directly to D'Antoni's side.

"Mike." Anthony leaned over and said. The relationship between him and D'Antoni was unusual, and his words were not so deliberate.

"Melo?" D'Antoni saw Anthony running over suddenly and looked at him in confusion.

"Mike, the new players are not very familiar with the bombing tactics. The situation is similar to when we played against the Mavericks. I think if we can play the original characteristics like the last game, it will be good for the game in front of us." Would it be more effective?" Anthony tried to suggest.

"Well, I see, you go back." Anthony put his chin in his hand, nodded and walked towards the technical table.

After Anthony finished speaking, he quickly returned to the bench. He knew that some words only needed to be clicked, and D'Antoni was better at specific operations than him.

"beep!"

The sideline whistle sounded soon, and the Nuggets suspended.

The Nuggets players all walked off the court, except for Mutombo, everyone else looked a little frustrated, especially Wallace, he played with a lot of energy, but after he went up, the tactical movement suddenly fell apart. It knocked him out, and he was also defending Jamison, who was technical, and also had a three-point inside line, which made him miserable.
