Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 310 The Key to Victory

In the Nuggets locker room, Karl was holding a tactical board and explaining the main points of the second half offense. Anthony was listening below. His eyes were on Karl's tactical board, but his mind was not on it.

At the beginning of the game, he pissed off Bowen, causing the latter to get a technical foul. After his reappearance, he also tried his best to provoke Bowen again, but at this time, he had to talk about Popovich's ability, and he didn't know What he said to Bowen, no matter how angry Anthony was, Bowen remained unmoved.

When he played against the Spurs last season, Anthony had some understanding of the Spurs' strength, but this time he faced the Spurs again, and he suddenly found that the Spurs in front of him were much stronger than he had imagined. , the outcome of the two sides has become a [-]-[-] split, anyone can win, and what he has to do now is to find a key to victory, a point, so that the balance will be broken, so that the Nuggets' chances of winning will be much greater.

The starting lineup of the Spurs and the performance of the three points of GDP are the same as the Big Three of the Nuggets, or even much more stable than them. It is self-evident to break through, and Bowen and the Slovenians, In the first half, it also seemed to confirm the reason why they were able to become a strong complement to GDP.

Looking at the bench, Popovich seems to know that the bench lineup will not have the upper hand against the Nuggets. He intentionally increased the playing time of the GDP trio, even in the rotation stage, he will choose one of them One person, let him bring a substitute lineup on the field, so that the disadvantages of the substitute will not be exposed.

In this way, the Spurs looked as if they were solid and unbreakable.

Anthony shook his head helplessly as he thought about it. It was the first time since time travel that he felt powerless. The difficulty of dealing with a team like the Spurs was not only the difference in team strength, but also the details. It's even a contest of luck.

Karl was still explaining tactics on the tactical board. Anthony listened for a while, and generally meant to speed up and prevent the Spurs' offensive power. This idea is very good, but will the Spurs go the way they imagined? , that is something that no one can predict.

The time for the halftime break came soon, and when he returned to play at the end, Anthony failed to find any flaws that could be exploited, and he could only take a step forward for the time being.

After returning from the second half, the players of both sides played according to their respective rhythms. Both sides did a perfect job in the details, and they all executed the coach's tactical intentions to a high degree. Sometimes they took positions, and sometimes they attacked. The level of excitement made the fans watch. Can't stop.

However, neither of the two sides was able to open the score. It was often the Nuggets who played a small climax, and the other side immediately counterattacked.

The two sides just went back and forth like this, and the time in the third quarter was exhausted like this. What was even more dramatic was that the two sides actually drew after the third quarter. The two sides were exhausted from fighting, and finally returned to the same starting line.

Not really.

In basketball rules, there is a rule that is often questioned, and that is the jump ball, because in the NBA, no matter who wins the ball by jumping, both sides can get the right to serve for two quarters, which is not reflected most of the time Advantage, unless it is overtime, the team that gets the ball can still have some advantage, so it is precisely because of this seemingly tasteless rule that it has been discussed in many places whether it should be banned.

But at this time, because Chandler jumped the ball for the Nuggets at the beginning of the game, they had the opportunity to attack first in the fourth quarter. Next, this is undoubtedly a very big advantage.

However, although they had the right to kick off first, the Nuggets still failed to open the score, and even felt weak in the follow-up. They were at a disadvantage in the positional battle. When entering the last 8 minutes, they were 5 behind. point.

Anthony saw this and knew that the game could no longer be played like this. If the game continued like this, the Nuggets would undoubtedly lose. In the Nuggets' offensive round, he took the initiative to fall to the low post and started asking for the ball.

Nash was holding the ball on the outside. He was going to play a pick-and-roll tactic according to the coach's tactics, but when he saw that Anthony took the initiative to go to the low post to ask for the ball, he didn't hesitate and threw the ball in.

Anthony reached out to catch the ball, but he didn't start low singles as expected, but turned around suddenly, and his original back-up posture suddenly became a face-up attack.

Choosing a face-to-face attack in a position may not be a good choice when you have a physical advantage, but Anthony just did it.

After passing the ball, Nash looked at Anthony with some puzzlement.

After Anthony faced the frame, he did not launch an attack immediately, but suddenly said to Bowen: "I know you can't guard against me, if you don't believe me, take a look."

Bowen looked blank, and did not have any reaction to Anthony's actions.

Anthony seemed to have guessed that Bowen would have this kind of reaction. He started to do cross-step dribbles in the next second, and then suddenly accelerated forward.

Anthony's fake action was not in place, and even looked a little flawed. Bowen took a look, and immediately blocked his breakthrough route, and reached out to break Anthony's ball.

Anthony staggered and was almost intercepted by Bowen.

Anthony did not continue to attack, but suddenly stopped and began to cross dribble, and continued: "I know you can't break my ball."

After finishing speaking, he accelerated suddenly and rushed towards the basket again.

At this time, Bowen's face remained unchanged, and he appeared on Anthony's route again. Anthony didn't dodge this time, and directly slammed into Bowen.

Almost the moment they collided, the two of them bounced off from both sides.

The referee blew the whistle decisively at this time, and pointed at Bowen.

Bowen's face changed, but at this moment he suddenly turned his head and glanced at Popovich, then snorted coldly, and didn't say anything after standing up.

This is Bowen's third foul of the game. For the fourth quarter, this number is not too many, but the original attack time of the Nuggets is less than 8 seconds, because Bowen's this Foul, all of a sudden back to 14 seconds.

At this time, Anthony walked to the sidelines and prepared to serve. When he passed by Bowen, he suddenly smiled and said, "I know you will foul, isn't it true for people who can't defend?"

Anthony spoke quickly, and walked off the field straight after speaking.

Bowen looked calm, but when Anthony walked over, his face suddenly showed a ruthless look.

Anthony drove the ball to Nash at this time, but he did not ask for a position as before, but stood outside the three-point line without doing any movements, just stood there, looking like he was resting .

Nash saw Anthony's actions and didn't know what medicine he was selling in his gourd, but Anthony didn't ask for the ball anymore. After he received the ball, he called Brand to start playing pick-and-roll tactics.

Due to the lack of attack time, the Nuggets' attack did not get a good shot in the end. Nash finally made a hasty shot and finally shot out of the frame.

Looking back, Duncan sank to the low post and began to prepare for singles, but at this moment, Anthony suddenly gave up the defensive Bowen and quickly went to make up the defense.

Coach Carl on the sidelines was stunned when he saw this scene. This defensive tactical change was not in his plan at all. You must know that although Bowen has no offensive ability, he still has a lot of confidence in his three-pointers. Yes, but because of Anthony's status in the team, he just frowned and didn't speak.

Duncan Mingrui noticed the changes in the Nuggets' defense, and then threw the ball directly.

Anthony also turned around at this time, but he didn't rush over immediately, but suddenly stretched out his hand, made a "please" motion, and then said quickly: "Please shoot, I know you can't make it."

Perhaps because of the distance, Bowen didn't know what he was talking about, so he emphasized it again: "You can't make a shot, you can't make a shot."

After Bowen received the ball, he was secretly happy, saying that Anthony would only show off his quick tongue for a while, and the defensive retreat was so bad, but what he didn't expect at all was that Anthony was actually in front of him. In front of him, he made a gesture of invitation, not only did it, but also told him in person that he couldn't make the shot, which was a complete shame and humiliation.

Almost at this time, the fans at the scene also exploded. As fans of the Nuggets, they witnessed Anthony joining the Nuggets, and it was the first time they saw Anthony make such an arrogant move.

"This is?" Kenny Smith in the commentary was stunned at this moment. In the history of the league, it was the first time he saw someone dare to make such an arrogant move.

"Haha, Melo is so funny!" Johnson, who was also in the commentary, laughed and said.

The atmosphere in the entire arena is now a mess, and they don't know what words to use to describe the feeling at this time.

But compared to the feelings of the fans, the most uncomfortable thing now is the person in the center, Bowen. He doesn't have any defense in front of him at the moment, but it seems that there is a huge defensive cover in front of him. , He could have shot very decisively, but for some reason, his hands and feet were as heavy as if poured with lead. The originally extremely simple movements seemed so heavy at this moment.

"Damn it, vote!" Popovich couldn't help urging when he saw Bowen standing there for a long time, and Anthony made such a provocative gesture.

Hearing Popovich's shout, Bowen hesitated, aimed at the basket, stretched his hands, and finally chose to shoot.
