Pick Westbrook

Chapter 45 After all, the opponent is the Nuggets team
Bradley Arena.

The fans in Milwaukee have already watched and moaned again and again.

"I said don't trade Maurice Williams away. Look, now that the team's offense is blocked, who can be the one who can break the deadlock of the team by relying on independent offense?"

"What can we do with Artest? He can't guard Anthony at all!"

"An Artest who has little effect on the defensive end is not even as real as a Marshall."

On the court, the Nuggets continue to focus on Anthony.

But this time they didn't use double-cover tactics to create excellent scoring opportunities for Anthony, but wanted to pass the ball through the high and low positions so that Anthony could receive the ball at the waist.

"This position is very dangerous." Li Lai said with serious eyes.

The waist position is also called the singles position, and it is the favorite singles position of NBA singles stars.

Jordan, Kobe, Anthony, O'Neal, Yao Ming, Olajuwon, Karl Malone.
Not only outside stars, but even inside stars especially like to catch the ball and play singles in this position.

"Because the distance from the basket is close enough, the efficiency of singles is high.

And it is impossible for the weak side to be double-teamed by the opponent, because there is the bottom line outside the court.

However, the double-teaming on the strong side can have a panoramic view, and it is easy to find open teammates to pass the ball. "

This is why many heads-up masters in history, even though their passing ability is not very good, can always achieve double figures in assists in one or two games.

In addition, Anthony is now proficient in three-threat singles, so his singles in this position will become more dangerous.

"We must not let him catch the ball in that position!" Li Lai shouted towards the field.

Artest did it before Lee came to yell.

He desperately got stuck with Anthony and defended around the front.

Frequent physical contact and small movements even pushed the two from the bottom line to the three-point line.

"That's the strength of Artest's defense."

Suddenly encountering such an oppressive defense, Anthony was not used to it.

He tried to maintain the space in front of and behind him, intending to use the rhythm to suddenly accelerate or decelerate to get rid of Artest.

However, Artest is too vigilant, and can always switch around the front and side defense at will in the fastest time.

This made Billups never find a reasonable passing angle, holding the ball and never being able to pass the ball.

"Chauncey! Give me the damn ball!" Anthony was a little anxious.

Billups frowned, and finally found the best angle to pass to Anthony's side from countless angles.

But this is the time!
Artest, who has always been alert, suddenly went around and grabbed the ball ahead of Anthony.

"The Bucks are going to play fast break!"

Artest took the ball and went down quickly.

Westbrook took off directly after speeding up the free throw line from the right and entering the penalty area.

"Boy, so brave!"

Artest let out a cry of surprise.

How could he have imagined that Westbrook would fly directly into the sky to ask for the ball.

It takes a lot of confidence in one's physical talent to be able to do such a thing.

And such a desperate style of play is easy to get injured and cause hidden dangers to the body.

But Artest admired the other party very much and said: "He is a handle! This is enough to fight!"

Artest threw the ball into the sky at will.

The angles are not good enough, the power is a little too high, and the timing of the pass is extremely poor.

Westbrook leaned back in the air and caught the ball with difficulty.

Because of the timing, Billups had returned to defense in time at this time.

Therefore, the Bucks' originally easy two-on-one quick two-on-one has also become a one-on-one offensive round.

Westbrook is still holding the defense!

boom!
The tortoise splits the buckle! ! ! ! !

The Milwaukee fans at the scene were all dumbfounded, and all were silent with their mouths open.

They, who were still criticizing Artest, never expected that the scene would turn so fast, and a dunk that could be regarded as the most exciting dunk in the league so far this season appeared.

They saw Westbrook jumping high in the air, and then Billups rushed back to the defense, and Westbrook just held the ball in one hand and dunked on Billups' shoulder with the other. .

"It's too hot!"

Tyronn Lue off the field was almost amused.

This should have been a wrong pass, but Westbrook saved it abruptly, and it also staged such a wonderful scene.

Apart from describing it as uncanny workmanship, I'm afraid it doesn't make any sense.

"Artest's defense is good, but this pass is a bit floating." Tyronn Lue laughed.

Li said: "If Artest's passing is also good, then he is worth more than this price.

That would be a player on the same level as Pippen! "

Nuggets coach bench.

Qiansheng coach George Karl frowned slightly after seeing the current defense of the Bucks and was very disturbed.

What Anthony is most afraid of is this kind of almost crazy defense.

This will make him extremely exhausted on the offensive end, resulting in missed shots.

In addition to defense, this is probably the second shortcoming of Melo Anthony.

——The shooting is not stable enough.

George Karl, who also knows Artest, was worried about whether Anthony would be restricted by the opponent in tonight's game.

Now it seems that such a picture still appears.

To this end, he had to re-change the team's offensive focus, allowing Billups and Kenyon Martin to participate more in the team's offensive tasks.

And Anthony has become a weak side containment, attracting the Bucks' defensive focus.

on the field.

Billups' fake action outside the three-point line easily deceived Westbrook's take-off foul.

The referee blows the whistle.

This is a shooting foul and three free throws are required!
"This foul is irrational!"

Artest looked at Westbrook who was very dissatisfied with his easy foul, muttering there and still scolding himself.

Artest thought to himself, even if he dared to scold himself, this kid is actually a ruthless person I like.

"Russell, the MVP may have water, but the Finals MVP never lies.

Billups is a very experienced point guard, you have to be smarter to defend him. "

Artest put his arm around Westbrook's shoulder and said encouragingly, and immediately taught a few tricks to defend this type of player on the court.

Westbrook clicked his tongue again and again, so this is called a fucking defense. My basketball for more than ten years has been in vain.

50: 46.

The first half is over.

Because of the Bucks' excellent restrictions on Anthony, the entire momentum of the team completely overwhelmed the Nuggets.

It's just that the Nuggets have a lot of people who can score, so they still played back and forth with the Bucks.

Li Lai was very dissatisfied with the team's offense in the first half.

50 points in the halftime may be regarded as a qualified performance in the eyes of many teams, but in the eyes of Li Lai, this is not enough, far from enough.

"The Bucks are a team that relies on offense to win. If we can't be outstanding on the offensive end, how can we fight against those strong teams?"

Tyronn Lue was very satisfied with the team's first half of the game, after all, the opponent was the Nuggets.

"We held Anthony down enough, Billups was stalked by Westbrook, and Kenyon Martin was followed by Villanueva all over the game.

If it weren't for the sudden emergence of JR Smith in the second quarter, we must have achieved a double-digit lead by now. "
