against the front

Chapter 138 Victory
"It can't go on like this!"

When Yan Hua and Anthony came up one after another, the point difference between the Kings and the Nuggets was maintained at 5 points, 7 points, 5 points, 8 points, and 5 points. Although the Kings and the Nuggets Jin's one-ball-for-one-ball match made the audience and reporters on the scene feel excited and excited, but behind this wonderful duel, what was hidden was that the Nuggets were getting stronger and stronger. The hope of reversal is getting slimmer, because the end of the game is getting closer and closer, but the Nuggets still have no way to further narrow the score gap.

97 to 91, with 3 minutes left before the end of the game, the Kings still maintained a 6-point lead. From the start of the fourth quarter, the Nuggets, led by Carmelo Anthony, initiated a A fierce counterattack, but after nearly 9 minutes of the game, the Nuggets still failed to reverse the situation on the court and reverse the point difference between the two sides.

Yan Hua made two free throws and fouled NN-Hilario at the basket. The second free throw went out of the frame and failed to expand the lead, but the Nuggets players on the court could still feel the mountainous pressure Pressure, 3 minutes 06 seconds, 6 points difference, if we can't find a way to break this deadlock, as the remaining time dwindles, this pressure will increase until it completely crushes them until.

After Yan Hua missed a free throw, he has been staring at Yan Hua's Carmelo Anthony, constantly looking for a way to break the deadlock in his mind, but Anthony racked his brains for a long time, but he couldn't find any. The way, because if you want to break the deadlock, the first thing you need to do is to limit the king's offense and Yan Hua's rampage at the basket, but do the Nuggets have anyone who can restrain Yan Hua?No, NN-Hilario and Kenyon-Martin can't take Yan Hua together, and if they can't restrain Yan Hua, they can't completely restrain the king's attack.

Looking at Yan Hua who was already retreating quickly, Carmelo Anthony suddenly had a crazy idea in his heart. In today's game, the reason why the Kings were able to establish a lead of more than ten points in the opening stage was that And when the Nuggets launched a counterattack, they repeatedly suppressed the momentum of the Nuggets' counterattack. The fundamental reason was because of the existence of Yan Hua. , The king's offense and defense can be improved by at least one level, or even more, so if you want to completely change the unfavorable situation on the court, you can only start with Yan Hua.

Although in today's game, Yan Hua dominated the paint area of ​​both sides on both ends of the offense and defense, but facing the two old ball ruffians of NN-Hilary and Kenyon Martin, Yan Hua still received three fouls, so The way Anthony thinks of breaking the game is to attack Yan Hua's defense and actively create his fouls. As long as Yan Hua can be taken off the court, the Nuggets will definitely be able to reverse the score on the court.

Going to hit the basket defended by Yan Hua, to face and challenge Yan Hua's defense, I have to say, this is an idea that makes Carmelo Anthony himself feel crazy. Throughout the series, Yan Hua's deterrence at the basket is obvious to all , today's game has already sent 7 blocks. Even Anthony, who is very confident in his offense, will choose to avoid Yan Hua's edge when attacking with the ball, but now, Anthony feels that he has nothing to do. If he hides any longer, he has to do what he should do.

"Huh? Carmelo Anthony started holding the ball in the middle circle. What is he trying to do?"

"John Salmons pressed on Carmelo Anthony, but John Salmons didn't have much advantage against Anthony, and Carmelo Anthony physically knocked John Thrall away. Mons, there are no defensive players in front of Anthony. Anthony has not passed the ball, and he is still accelerating. What is he going to do? Is he going directly to the basket guarded by Yan Hua?
"Crazy, crazy, this is really crazy!" Kenny Smith, who was on the sidelines, saw through Carmelo Anthony's intentions, and shouted three times in a row. Although Yan Hua is only a rookie, Yan Hua's performance at this stage is undoubtedly top-notch. Regarding Yan Hua's offensive and defensive performance in today's game, Kenny Smith feels that even his former teammate, Hakeem Ola, the top four center forward, Zhu Wang was nothing more than that at his peak, and when Hakeem Olajuwon was at his peak, even Michael Jordan would not dare to challenge the basket guarded by him, but now, Cameron -Anthony challenged the basket guarded by Yan Hua without hesitation. Regardless of the result, this almost crazy courage alone is worthy of admiration.

"Come on, boy, come on..." It was completely different from Kenny Smith's emotion and shock. Barkley, who was sitting next to Kenny Smith, looked like he was not a big deal when watching the excitement. On the contrary, he still encouraged Anthony to face Yan Hua's defense, although Anthony couldn't hear him talking in the commentary at the moment.

After Anthony accelerated towards the king's basket, the audience at the Pepsi Center who started cheering after Anthony held the ball became louder and louder at this moment, and some fans even jumped from their excitement. stood up in his seat.

At this time, Yan Hua, who had retreated to the area below the free throw line, also noticed Anthony in an unguarded state. Although Carmelo Anthony is still quite far away from Yan Hua, he can choose There are also many offensive methods, such as the emergency stop jump shot that Anthony is very good at, but Yan Hua has a hunch that this guy will definitely come to trouble him this time, so Yan Hua is watching Carmelo Anthony who is rushing forward with the ball , while speeding up the defense, preparing to occupy a favorable position once the two of them have to face to face.

"Be careful, be careful, Cameron be careful..." George Karl, who was standing on the sidelines, squeezed his hands together nervously from the moment Anthony started to hold the ball and accelerate. George Karl knew very well that Anthony What he is doing now is very unwise, and he may even be injured if he is not careful, but George Karl also knows that Anthony has no other choice except to do this now. Instead of waiting slowly to die, It's better to have a vigorous one, and once they succeed, they will be greeted with victory and glory.

"It's getting closer, it's getting closer, it's getting closer..." It has to be said that at this time, the reporters sitting or standing behind the basket are far closer than the parties on the court and the audience at the scene. Excited, because whether Anthony defeated Yan Hua or Yan Hua defeated Anthony, this duel between the two of them is an excellent news material, and it may even be a match that is enough to enter the top ten goals. big news.

When all the spectators at the scene were cheering for Carmelo Anthony, Carmelo Anthony, who had already rushed into the paint with the ball, took a big step forward and jumped directly. Get up, and Yan Hua, who has retreated to only about two meters away from the basket, jumped up almost at the same moment Anthony took off, waving his long arms, ready to interfere, and even block Anthony's layup .

Perhaps before the jump, he had already thought about how to deal with Yan Hua's interference, so after the jump, Anthony, who was still on the rise, took advantage of the opportunity to pull the lever in the air, preparing to avoid Yan Hua , and passed through the side of Yan Hua's body in the air, and then completed a layup.

Although as a center, Yan Hua, who has used the David Robinson experience card, is superb in terms of jumping and speed, but in terms of starting time, Yan Hua can never be compared with outside players like Anthony. , Therefore, when Anthony in the air completed the lever and was still gliding in the air, Yan Hua fell from the air one step ahead of Anthony.

"Not good." Anthony, who successfully avoided Yan Hua's interference in the air, was about to throw the basketball in his hand to the basket and then leaned against Yan Hua. When he hit a 2+1, he saw Yan Hua, who had already landed, rose up again in an instant, waving his palms and rushing toward his face.

Anthony, who just threw the basketball out, watched Yan Hua rush towards him, and then grabbed the basketball he threw in his hand. Although he was unwilling, Cameron, whose body had lost his balance- Anthony, still fell towards the back of the body.

Yan Hua, who finished catching the cap, threw the basketball in his hand to Bobby Jackson at the top of the arc. The 36-year-old Bobby Jackson, after receiving Yan Hua's pass, seemed to be more than ten years younger Like a year old, he slapped the basketball and rushed to the Nuggets' backcourt at an extremely fast speed.

"It's over!" When the fast-breaker Bobby Jackson made a layup, George Karl, who was standing on the sidelines, felt his heart was pierced instantly. As a result, the king seized the opportunity and completed the fatal blow.
