Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 312 Unexpected Results

Chapter 312 Unexpected Results

Anthony was strangled by Bowen, and immediately felt difficulty breathing. Although he was very clear about what he was doing, he didn't expect Bowen's movement to be so big.

"Toot! Toot!..."

The referee saw that Bowen had made a move, and he had hot wheels on his feet, so he rushed up and pushed Bowen away.

Almost at the same time, all the Nuggets players rushed onto the field in a swarm. The boos of the fans followed by a tsunami-like swarm, and the entire arena seemed to explode at any moment.

The two referees were originally standing between Anthony and Bowen, but later became between the Nuggets and Spurs players. The two of them stretched out their hands to signal the players on both sides to back off, but they felt like they were alone in the sea. Will be submerged at any time.

After Anthony broke free from Bowen's hand, he coughed for a while before he recovered. When he came back to his senses and looked up and saw that the players on both sides were already in a tense situation, he immediately realized that the situation was a bit serious. The incident that didn't happen in Benshan is vivid in his mind. He hurriedly grabbed the Nuggets players, and then loudly signaled the players to step back.

The Nuggets players rushed to the court, all because Anthony was fouled by Bowen, because Anthony was pinched by Bowen just now, and the whole scene got out of control. Now they saw that Anthony was fine, and his attitude was very serious. After resolutely signaling them to back off, the hot blood rushing to their foreheads slowly retreated, and they all retreated slowly.

The Spurs players rushed forward because they were afraid that the Nuggets players would besiege Bowen. It was their fault that Bowen did it. After seeing Anthony so actively pulling the Nuggets players back, they naturally had no reason to fight again. Standing here, Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker spontaneously persuaded the Spurs players to go back. The two sides that were originally at war were resolved in that instant.

The players dispersed, but the fans didn't buy it. As a home fan, seeing the star of the home team being fouled maliciously by the opponent, it is naturally impossible to calm down so easily. The boos on the scene can be said to be overwhelming. After a wave, it lasts forever.

The referee now called the head coaches of both sides, and went to the technical stage to watch the video together. In fact, the scene that happened before is very clear, but this process, on the one hand, is to reflect the fairness of the referee, and on the other hand, it is more important. It is to stabilize the emotions of the fans on the scene, otherwise, in such an atmosphere, the two sides may not have to fight for the next half-quarter of the game.

The replay of the game is very clear. Anthony said a few words to Bowen, and then Bowen started directly. After watching the video, the referee first communicated with the two head coaches. It could be seen that Popovich was very angry, but He seemed helpless in front of the video, and finally, after repeated persuasion by the referee, he agreed to the penalty, and just before the referee made the penalty, the video was also played back on the current large LED screen.

The fans at the scene couldn't stop the deafening boos again.

In the midst of boos, the referee made a penalty. Bowen fouled for the second time and was directly expelled from the field. Anthony, because it is not a strange thing to talk trash in the game, let alone him The trash talk that counts as not being said has been said otherwise, so it has not received any punishment.
When the referee announced the penalty, the fans cheered thunderously, and Bowen exited the field amidst the cheers.

On the Spurs side, perhaps Popovich comforted the team, and the mood did not change much, but it was unusually calm.

Anthony saw Bowen leaving the field and achieved his goal. He unconsciously looked up at the score on the field. Because Anthony hit a three-pointer before, the score on the field was only 2 points at this time. Bowen's Leaving the field is definitely a fatal blow to the Spurs' defensive system, especially the perimeter defense. It is absolutely possible to recover this almost negligible point difference.

Anthony withdrew his gaze, and was going to directly invest in a new round of offense, but when he lowered his head, he suddenly found that the entire Spurs team looked abnormal. It stands to reason that the team usually has players, especially important core players. The members were sent off, and the players should be indignant, at least they were suffocated, or a little flustered, but now, the entire Spurs team is unusually quiet, and there is even a hint of quietness that makes people feel Inexplicably flustered.

"The next round..." Carl took the tactical board and began to arrange the offensive tactics for the next round. Anthony's attention was also drawn back to reality, and he turned to listen to Carl's tactical arrangement. But for some reason, Bowen originally The Nuggets' departure is good news that has never been seen before, but now, there is a trace of unspeakable worry in his heart.

"Melo..." Just when Anthony was a little lost, Carl's cry brought him back to reality. When he looked up, he saw that Carl was a little unhappy, "You did a good job ahead, but don't take it lightly , Popovich guy I have played against him dozens of times, he is not so easy to admit defeat."

Anthony nodded vigorously. It seems that Karl thought he was starting to underestimate the enemy because of his loss of consciousness just now, and from his words, it can be seen that everything that Anthony did before made Bowen stand, this old handsome can be said to be I know it well.

After Bowen was sent off, he was replaced by Brent Barry, a point guard who played for the Seattle SuperSonics last season. His three-pointers have already reached the point of perfection. This season's hit Although the rate is not as good as before, he still saves the savior at critical moments. However, it is a bit confusing to replace him at this time. Originally, Bowen was the team's small forward. It's a big loss, now that a guard who is three centimeters shorter than Bowen is replaced, it is tantamount to not defending Anthony at all.

Such a player rotation, if it wasn't made by Popovich, I'm afraid it will only be laughed at.

But no matter what the personnel adjustments made by the Spurs are, or what Popovich's real purpose is, everything can only be seen on the court.

At this time, there were still the last 6 minutes before the end of the game. The Spurs led the Nuggets by 79 points 77:2, and the first round after the timeout was still the Spurs' offensive possession.

When Anthony was on the court, seeing the personnel adjustments made by the Spurs, he was more distracted. After all, Barry is a three-point shooter. Even if the defensive end can't cause him trouble, the offense will be a problem for him. No small amount of stress.

Parker is still in control of the ball. He and Ginobili pushed the ball steadily to the frontcourt. After reaching the frontcourt, Parker controlled the ball at the top of the arc, while Ginobili ran to the right corner, almost At the same time, Barry and Ginobili started to run towards the bottom line on both sides.

This two-way baseline tactic is not the first time it has appeared in the previous round. After Anthony noticed it, he quickened his pace and hurried to keep up with Barry who was defending him.

While Barry and Ginobili were moving, Parker on the outside had already taken the opportunity to pass the ball to Duncan on the inside. Duncan was holding the ball at the free throw line. In this position, his passing threat is naturally very great.

However, Anthony and his Nuggets have clearly seen the Spurs' offensive intentions. Anthony defending Barry and Ariza defending Ginobili are both Nesterovic who bypassed the pick-and-roll under the basket. follow his defenders.

Seeing that the Spurs' offense was about to fall short, but at this moment, Duncan, who was holding the ball at the free throw line, suddenly launched an offense. outside the second zone.

Brand was obviously caught off guard by this, but he didn't lose his defensive position because of it. When Duncan turned around, he stabilized his foot and didn't let Duncan pass by.

However, Duncan avoided the truth at once, leaning on Brand with his back and directly began to take three steps to the basket to kill.

After all, Duncan occupies a large position in terms of height. Brand resisted the bottom plate. Although he followed Duncan and moved in together, but after Duncan took the third step, he had advanced to only one meter away from the basket. , when he used his signature to hit the board, he could only look forward to the ocean and sigh.

With a "bang", followed by a "swish", the ball hit the net, and Duncan easily hit the board and scored, scoring the first goal for the Spurs after returning from the timeout, and also opened the score to 4 points again.

Anthony followed Barry to the perimeter, and when he sensed that Duncan started to attack, Duncan had already sent the ball into the basket. It wasn't until this time that he realized that the Spurs' offensive focus from the beginning, Barry came up, but It's just a cover for their attack!

Until Duncan sent the ball into the basket, Karl on the sidelines was also aware of Popovich's offensive intentions. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he didn't care much. Even if the Spurs played this tactic, Barry He successfully attracted the defense and created a scoring opportunity for the Spurs, but what he gained was a loss. On the offensive end, he gained tactical success. On the defensive end, Barry had to face Anthony's tank-style crushing. What he had to suffer The defensive pressure received is absolutely unprecedented.

Nash controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, Anthony quickly fell into position, but at the moment Anthony settled down, Ginobili of the Spurs immediately came to help defend, and at the moment Ginobili moved, the entire team The Spurs' defensive formations are changing. It can be seen that Popovich is going to use zone defense and help defense to make up for the lack of defense.
