Chapter 195 I Want To Win

"Listen, guys, I want to win this game. I don't want to hide this. I want to win this game. We need a game that can motivate us. Let's win this game against the number one in the West. I think we can do it!"

Carmelo Anthony really wants to win this game.

When changing clothes in the locker room, he even held everyone's hand for some encouragement.

This is something he rarely does!
He also stared at each Nuggets player in a daze.

They looked at each other with the same expression: What's wrong with this guy? This is...

However, if George Karl saw this scene, he would sneer a little bit, and then say something in his heart: As long as you don't mess around, we must still have a chance.

Well... for so many days in the past, the Nuggets are still half-dead in the sixth position in the Western Conference. The way to win every game is very similar. If Carmelo Anthony plays well, then this team wins. If he plays poorly, then this team loses.

As for the reason, it is also very simple, because this guy holds most of the ball rights of the Nuggets in his hands, and they are all his personal singles choices.

Not to mention the other Nuggets players on the field, even his head coach George Karl became a decoration. When he got a little behind, he simply stopped giving orders and just stood there on the sidelines.

It's not that he didn't want to give orders, but... Carmelo Anthony didn't care about his tactics at all, and just played on his own.

This has led to a deeper and deeper conflict between the two people.

It's just that Carmelo Anthony's identity is here. No matter how deep the conflict is, George Karl can't make the conflict public. He can't just go to the general manager's office and pat the table and ask "choose him or me"?

In that case, George Karl believes that he will definitely receive a dismissal letter saying "we think you are sick" in a few days.

As for Carmelo Anthony, he may have sensed George Karl's dissatisfaction, but no matter how dissatisfied he was, it didn't affect his messing around on the court. For Carmelo Anthony, this is enough...

This is also the reason why the two of them have not yet had a huge dispute.

One is powerless, and the other simply feels "unnecessary".

Lin Ri also attached great importance to tonight's game. Apart from performing his signature dunk for the fans, he devoted the rest of the time to warming up, and turned a deaf ear to the "one more dunk" from the Suns fans.

Recently, it may be because Lin Ri's participation in the slam dunk contest has been confirmed. Phoenix fans' demand for dunks during Lin Ri's warm-up has suddenly increased a lot.

One performance can no longer satisfy them, now they have to do it twice...

However, Lin Ri rejected the second performance today, and he will put all his energy on the next game.

Gentry was also a little busier than usual before this game, discussing non-stop with a few assistant coaches surrounding him.

It's just that it seems that George Karl is a bit "unhurried".

At this moment, George Karl is looking at the sky, as if observing whether the ceiling of the American West Arena is strong or not.

He didn't intend to discuss tactics with his assistant at all.

George Karl: What are you discussing!No one beats me even after discussing it, so what the hell am I talking about!
This made the atmosphere on the benches on both sides before the game look a little weird.

Well, how should I put it... It's like a fake match is about to start.

ESPN commentator Hubie Brown, who explained the game, showed a trace of complicated emotions in his eyes. Before the start of this season, he once had fantasies about the Nuggets. This team, which had a magical chemical reaction after trading for Billups last season, in his opinion, definitely has the possibility of going further in the new season.

After all, they have all the elements that a strong team should have, but for some reason, the new season failed to take off like last season.

Just looking at the pre-match atmosphere on their bench, one can be sure that this team is not a strong team...

Seeing the team he had expected to become like this, Hubie sighed endlessly.

Amidst his thoughts of pity for the Nuggets, the game has also officially begun...

In Lin Ri's jump ball, as always, the Suns succeeded in gaining the initiative. Steve Nash took the ball and found Lin Ri to cooperate. , was directly shaken away by Lin Ri.

"Bah!"

The Suns scored the opening goal in a fashion familiar to Phoenix fans.

This guy!
Kenyon Martin gritted his teeth. After playing against Lin Ri in the last game, Kenyon Martin knew that this guy was definitely not a good guy, but seeing him make such a perverted change of direction without the ball, he really didn't have any other thoughts except shaking his head with his hips on his hips.

This kind of action... Are you really not afraid of flashing your waist?
Ah!
As a big man, Kenyon Martin felt for the first time that he was let down by God.

Turning his head, it was the Nuggets' turn to attack. George Karl sighed slightly after Billups took the ball. He had already imagined what the next opening would be like-Carmelo Anthony waited outside the three-point line with his arms crossed.

George Karl is tired of seeing this tactic!

His most disgusting tactic for advocating "team basketball" is such a tactic!

Why does a game for five people become a game for one person?
Ah!
George Karl suddenly thought of a person, and recently he often thought of the guy named Popovich-what a fate!A guy like Tim Duncan actually listens to him so much!

Ok?
He suddenly thought of a guy who met this requirement again in his mind, but in a vague way, he just couldn't remember who this guy was in his mind again...

Um! !

However, when he inadvertently glanced at Lin Ri who was actively running on the field, he subconsciously glanced at Gentry again.

He immediately remembered who that guy was!
I'm so sour!

Why do the players you meet are so obedient, but the ones I meet are so...

Hey!
"Dangdang!"

Just as George Karl's inner sigh sounded, the sound of iron strikes on the field also sounded. Unsurprisingly, Carmelo Anthony, as he expected, completed the Nuggets' first shot of the game.

Of course, the result was as he expected.

The Nuggets got a shot at the start.

Such a fight will definitely lose!
George Karl came to another conclusion.

It’s not that he’s so disapproving of Carmelo Anthony’s abilities. In fact, in his heart, Carmelo Anthony is still one of the best players at the small forward position. If he is really allowed to use him well, he will also give this guy absolute trust at the most critical time.

He believes the latter can accomplish what he wishes.

It's just that if it's playing like this, he doesn't think that the Nuggets have a chance tonight... If they change to other teams, they may still have, but it happens to be the Suns.

After playing in the last game, George Karl studied the Suns' defensive formation, and he came to a conclusion: The Suns' defense cannot be disintegrated by individual players alone.

Whether it is Kobe Bryant or Carmelo Anthony, no one in this league can single-handedly solve the Suns.

On the contrary, in his opinion, the Suns are one of the few teams in this league that can limit Carmelo Anthony.

Their defense has that class!

Because of this, George Karl really doesn't think the Nuggets can win if the game continues like this!
I have to say, there are some things. These head coaches who have been in the league for more than 20 or 4 years do have two brushes in their judgment of the situation. He is not optimistic that Cameron can lead them to victory by playing like this. In fact, this is indeed the case. When the game progressed to 45 minutes and [-] seconds of the second quarter, the Suns had unknowingly established a double-digit point difference.

It seems that they are going to run for a 15-point difference.

There is another thing that George Karl expected. After Carmelo Anthony was restricted in the last game against the Suns, this game was once again lost in the Suns' defense.

Carmelo Anthony's face was the same as the last time the team was behind by double digits, gloomy, and he sat on the bench without saying a word after George Karl called a timeout.

He is currently conducting "soul torture" on himself: I just want to win once, why is it so difficult!
Carmelo Anthony has never felt that this game has been so difficult since he was a child, and since he started playing basketball, this difficulty is especially clear in tonight's game!

He didn't know what went wrong...

"Guys, run more, you'll have a chance, give the ball to Chauncey, I want everyone to run!"

While he was doing soul torture, George Karl made the first tactical arrangement of the game.

The voice reached Carmelo Anthony's ears.

It's this tactic again... I don't know why I keep using tactics that are useless when encountering ruthless characters!

Wasn't this the tactic we lost to the Lakers last year?
What we need are new tactics!
But this guy always uses this kind of tactics to fool things! !
What!

Carmelo Anthony was very familiar with George Karl's arrangement.

Of course, it's impossible not to be familiar with it. How many times has he heard this tactic?But the problem is that it is okay to use in the regular season, but in the playoffs, especially when it comes to playing against a team of the Lakers level, this tactic is useless at all!

It was also eliminated last year, and Carmelo Anthony changed his tactics again this year. He wanted to find a truly feasible tactic, not the current Nuggets' tactic that is okay in the regular season, but it really doesn't work in the Western Conference Finals!
But it seems that George Karl doesn't understand him...communication with him has become less and less recently.

Unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, he said that this tactic was fooling things here again.

Row! !

I'd like to see how useful this tactic is! !
Carmelo Anthony's temper also came up.

When he plays again later, he doesn't plan to attack first by himself. He plans to watch his teammates play in the way of George Karl first, but he wants to see how he can play.

cut!
"beep!"

The game also restarted at this time.

At this moment, the already noisy auditorium burst into loud cheers.

The Suns have already led by double-digit points, and the Suns fans are naturally happy.

Amidst such cheers, the Nuggets served at half court.

Chauncey Billups, who was holding the ball, was a little stunned when he only directed his teammates to run.

Because he found that Carmelo Anthony, who has been asking him for the ball at this time, did not ask him for the ball this time.

This means... I can fight by myself?
Chauncey Billups did not hesitate, and quickly singled Steve Nash face to face, completing a mid-range shot.

"Shh!"

The ball fell into the net.

At the same time, some noise at the scene was stopped.

Well, it also caused a big "yeah" sound from the sidelines of the Nuggets.

George Karl looked at the Nuggets' reasonable offense and got excited.

He didn't know why Carmelo Anthony didn't ask for the ball this time, but he saw that the Nuggets scored in this situation, which is the most important thing.

This made him mutter "Cameron don't want the ball, Cameron don't want the ball" in his heart, while directing the court to continue to play tactical cooperation.

"Shh!"

The scene of the Nuggets' rare continuous attack tonight appeared.

"Yes!"

George Karl made the sound of "yeah" again, looking at him, as if he was ten years younger, full of vitality.

"Defend, defend, don't let them score the next attack!"

The Nuggets scored goals in two consecutive rounds, and Gentry's shouting from the sidelines became more frequent.

The two teams entered into a fierce confrontation.

During the confrontation between the Nuggets and the Suns, there was a person on the court, but he seemed to be "staying out of it". That person was none other than Carmelo Anthony.

He fell into confusion again.

Isn't this a tactic that is useless when you touch a strong enemy?

Why are the Nuggets now in a stalemate with the Suns relying on this tactic?

Carmelo Anthony doesn't understand!

But at this moment, his first reaction was not to understand the reason, but a thought: Should I join, or continue to go my own way?
This is a thought from the depths of his soul.

However, when he saw the Nuggets score another goal and narrowed the point difference to 8 points, there were only three words left in his mind-I want to win!
