Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 305 The Peak Demon Sword

Duncan blocked Brand's shot, and the ball still belonged to the Nuggets, but there were only 2 seconds left in the attack time. To some extent, this was equivalent to a successful defense.

In the last two seconds, according to the usual tactical drills of the Nuggets, the ball should be Brand helping Anthony pick and roll, so that he can have the opportunity to catch and shoot. In fact, Anthony and Brand did the same, Anthony Use Brand's pick-and-roll to run to the sideline.

But at the moment when the pick-and-roll happened, the Spurs' defense also changed. Ginobili didn't know when he gave up Ariza, who was defending himself, and took the first step between Anthony and Nash who was serving. If it is passed in this direction, there is a high possibility that it will be intercepted directly.

The serving time of an offense is only 5 seconds. Anthony and Brand have already spent about 2 seconds in the pick-and-roll tactic. Only Ariza, Ginobili who was defending him, was one step away from the three-point line because he was trying to delay Nash's serve. Choosing, he threw the ball directly to Ariza, and the moment the ball reached Ariza's hands, the timer on the sidelines started counting.

Ariza had no choice after receiving the ball. At this time, Ginobili, who was defending him, was already on his way to supplement the defense. After a little hesitation, he might not even have a chance to make a shot. However, this distance is really far away. For a three-pointer For him whose ability is not outstanding, it is really a bit difficult for him, but at this time, he has no choice but to shoot. After receiving the ball, Ariza glanced at the basket and directly chose to shoot.

Because the distance was too far, Ariza's shooting posture was a little deformed in order to add enough strength, but he finally made a shot before Ginobili's defense came up, and the ball hit the basket directly.

Because the distance was too far, the arc of the ball was very low, and it looked like it was smashed. At this moment, some fans who were close to the court couldn't help laughing. If this kind of ball hits the frame, it is considered a success. , that's really shit luck.

Anthony smiled wryly when he saw this scene. Compared with last season, the Spurs' defense has improved a lot. From the previous round, it can be seen that Duncan has a lot of defensive experience, which is already very deterrent. , has become even more daunting, and Ginobili, the main firepower scoring point of the Spurs bench last season, seems to have improved rapidly in defensive judgment. This ball, or even this round, if the Nuggets do not It is reasonable to be able to score points.

At the moment of Ariza's shot, Anthony turned and started running to the inside, ready to get the ball in his hands before it fell.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Ariza's ball slammed into the basket as expected, but in the next second, something unbelievable happened. After hitting the back of the basket on the neck, he jumped up, and then fell into the net bag under the dumbfounded eyes of the audience.

The arena with more than 1 people was silent for a while, and everyone's faces were filled with disbelief.

"Fuck!"

When Ariza saw the ball go in, he swears in disbelief. He didn't even think that the ball actually went in!
"yeah!"

Only then did the home fans recover from the shock and gave the Nuggets players thunderous cheers.

Anthony was going to rush to the basket, but when Ariza's goal stopped him, he was a little dumbfounded, and he didn't know if this was a hint, implying that God was on the side of the Nuggets in this game here.

Anthony then looked up at the Spurs players, wanting to see their expressions, but when he really looked up and saw the expressions of the Spurs players, he suddenly became extremely speechless, without the expected frustration , Didn't even say anything, Duncan took the ball and walked towards the bottom line, while Parker was standing on the court, ready to catch the ball, this dribble seemed to have no effect on their morale at all.

Anthony was speechless for a while, but he was relieved after a while. Isn't the state of the Spurs just what he understands? Isn't this kind of opponent, an opponent full of resilience, exactly what he hopes to meet.

Figured this out, Anthony smiled, and then began to retreat into the defense. Thanks to Ariza's magical three-pointer, the Nuggets took the lead for the first time at their home court.

But as Anthony saw, the Spurs players were not affected in any way, and Popovich on the sidelines was also silent, turning his head to look at the Spurs' offense.

After the Nuggets scored a goal, the morale of the team obviously rose. You must know that this kind of luck is not only Anthony who feels that God is on their side. If this is the case, what reason do they have to lose? What about losing this game?

The morale of the Nuggets was high, and the defensive intensity suddenly increased.

The Spurs advanced to the front court step by step, Duncan began to stand in the paint, and almost at the same time, Ginobili began to cut to the basket, from the right corner to the left, defending Ginobili Trevor Ariza pressed hard at every step. When he got to the basket, the rookie avoided Duncan very experiencedly and did not let Ginobili escape from his palm.

Duncan waited until Ginobili passed by, then turned his back and began to ask for the ball. Parker, who was in possession of the ball from the outside, hit the ground directly and smashed the ball in.

After Duncan received the ball, the Spurs' formation also began to spread out to both sides. The Spurs are a team with very high tactical literacy, but all of this is based on the player Duncan.

Anthony knows this sentence best.

Brand sank at this time. In the offensive round just now, he was rewarded with a big risk by Duncan, and now it is obvious that he wants to get this field back.

After Duncan felt that Brand's center of gravity sank, he didn't hesitate much, and then started to attack. Compared with Brand, he has one of the biggest and most favorable advantages, and that is his height. Innate talent is a fact that players cannot change no matter how hard they try.

This point was particularly obvious when Duncan started to hit Brand with his back.

In addition to resisting Duncan in the lower plate, Brand also held his right hand high to prevent Duncan from using his magic weapon-hitting the rebound and shooting.

Although Brand is not as tall as Duncan, but in terms of strength, the two can be said to be on par, so Duncan failed to get a bargain after a few consecutive bumps, but the most famous power forward in history Still using his footsteps to keep approaching the basket, Brand's height disadvantage made him helpless against Duncan's advancement.

At this time, Chandler under the basket had to move over. Although he didn't come over to double-team, he was always ready to help defend.

Duncan ignored it and continued to the basket. It was almost to the three-second zone. Although the position was a little to the right, it had already entered the area where he was hitting the board. He hit it twice, and then turned to the right. , ready to shoot.

At this moment, Chandler made a move, he made a sudden move, and then prepared to reward Duncan with a big risk.

The eyes of the fans at the scene were shining, and they also wanted to see the home team teach "Stone Buddha" a lesson in this defensive round, and some fans even shouted.

But at this moment, something completely unexpected happened. After Duncan made a shooting action, he turned around again, and then without looking back, he directly threw the ball back from the back of his head. flick.

Because Duncan played a deep position, the Nuggets' defense was naturally held back. Chandler's supplementary defense was only the tip of the iceberg. The outside players also began to shrink inside. The result now is that the outside Spurs players The defensive pressure he received was less, and it was precisely because of this effort that Ginobili made an off-ball pick-and-roll with Parker on the outside, as if premeditated, and he quickly ran to the corner position, That's where Duncan passed the ball.

The ball seemed to be equipped with a positioning device and flew directly into Ginobili's hands.

Ginobili leaned forward, didn't hesitate at all after receiving the ball, and chose to shoot directly.

The ball crossed a beautiful arc and flew towards the center of the basket.

"Shh!"

Without any suspense, Ginobili hit the open three-pointer, and the two sides drew!

Ariza scratched his head in frustration at this time. Ginobili was his defender, and he followed up very well in front of him. Only at this last pass, he thought about blocking Duncan or rushing to the backcourt. Rebounds, which gave Ginobili an open shot.

At this time, Anthony noticed Ariza's emotional changes, and hurried up and patted him on the shoulder and said: "Follow him, he is no longer the Manu of last season, what you have to do is more important than ever before." Difficulties."

After hearing what Anthony said and seeing his serious tone, Ariza knew that he was definitely not joking. After nodding seriously, he followed and ran forward.

At this time, the Nuggets have started a new round of offense. With previous experience, they let Anthony ask for the ball in the low post on the right this time. You Duncan can use his personal advantage to drive the team's offense. It can be tit for tat to do the same with Anthony.

Anthony wanted to stay in the low position, and then he turned his back and made the required moves. While observing his teammates, he was ready to start pushing in.

Almost at the same time, Bowen's foot also appeared behind Anthony's foot at some point.
