Chapter 197 Deadlock
Carmelo Anthony hit the three-pointer, and he exploded immediately. He stretched out three fingers and poked his head with a fierce expression while returning to defense.

The score difference is only 1 point.

Gentry looked at Carmelo Anthony's fiery touch, and his whole body became serious, with his hands wrapped around his chest, staring with a stern expression, although he didn't say anything, but the whole expression said everything, you hurry up and cheer me up!
Steve Nash dribbled up the court and called Lin Day very aggressively to run a pick-and-roll with him.

However, after the pick-and-roll, he did not go inside to kill, but took advantage of Lin Ri's cover to step back outside the three-point line and shoot a three-pointer directly.

What Steve Nash thought was actually a three-pointer!

This is a bit beyond the expectations of the Nuggets defensive players.

This game has been played so far, Steve Nash whenever he takes the ball, he goes directly to the inside to kill, and then gives the ball to Lin Ri's hands, allowing this guy who can cause huge damage inside to attack.

The effect of this trick is really effective!

The Suns once opened up double-digit scores in the first half, and a very important reason was Lin Ri's impact on the inside.

It's just, "The same trick can't be used for the second time against the Saints." Although the guys from the Nuggets are not Saints, they have gradually developed some adaptations when facing the combination of Steve Nash and Lin Ri, and the effect has declined all of a sudden.

Steve Nash also noticed this and just made some changes.

This unexpected three-point shot is the change.

Judging from the current situation, the opponent really didn't react.

No, Steve Nash made the shot very easily.

"Shh!"

Moreover, the ball successfully fell into the basket.

The point difference returned to 4 point again.

"Defend, defend, stop letting Carmelo Anthony get to the paint so easily!"

Gentry watched Steve Nash stand up at this time, and he let out a long sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to relax. Seeing Carmelo Anthony get the ball again, with his state at this time, he really can't guarantee that the Suns can defend him.

This kid is really... hard to deal with!
Gentry also knows how terrifying it is once the famous super scorer in this league breaks out!

The Suns surrounded and suppressed Anthony.

But Carmelo Anthony, who didn't hesitate at all in the last attack, took the ball this time, but waited and watched first, and then when Billups came out to respond, he gave the ball to Billups, and then sank to the low position of the baseline.

He has integrated into the team's tactical system again!

Started off the ball to contain the Suns' low-post defense.

The Suns really didn't dare to let him alone in the low post. Just now, he just made a three-pointer and directly pulled it into the basket. Who would dare to let him go?

His containment allowed Billups and Kenyon Martin to complete the cooperation in the interior, and the latter also dunked in front of Lin Ri in this game.

He cooperated!

He started to cooperate!

OMG, he really started to cooperate with the whole team to attack, this is not a dream!
OMG!

George Karl nearly cried as he watched the Nuggets score this possession.

This was a very iconic goal for the Nuggets last season. It is a bit similar to the "Triangle Offense" tactic in which the super ace sinks to contain the flank defense. However, the "Triangle Offense" uses a strong point to prevent another strong point from being double-teamed and forms a tactic for singles space. The purpose of George Karl's arrangement is to form a small-scale sports battle, relying on the cooperation and athletic ability of the players to solve the problem.

In this tactic, if Carmelo Anthony doesn't catch the ball at the beginning, then he basically has no chance to get the ball again. This is why he averaged less than 23 points per game last season.

But that year, they reached the Western Conference Finals!

This is enough to prove that there is no problem with the tactics and the effect is also very good.

It's a pity...some people are not as determined to sacrifice as they were last year.

Of course, now, seeing such an offense on the court, George Karl is sure that the Nuggets still have something to play in this game!

The point difference came to two points again.

Steve Nash continued to call the pick-and-roll. This time, the outside players of the Nuggets were not fooled. They noticed Steve Nash's possible retreat and immediately posted towards him.

But the problem is, they ran out with Steve Nash in this way, and Lin Ri was in a one-on-one situation.

As soon as he passes the ball...

"Bah!"

Lin Ri easily completed the dunk under the basket.

Kenyon Martin's single defense against Lin Ri is getting more and more difficult.

The point difference was pulled back to 4 points.

hiss!
Not easy to do!

George Karl took a breath.

Looking at these two rounds, the pick-and-roll tactics of Steve Nash and Lin Ri made him feel a little tricky.

Because he couldn't simulate an effective method in his head for the time being.

"Shh!"

Fortunately, in the next round, Carmelo Anthony made another mid-range shot, helping the team narrow the point difference to 2 points.

It also gave him time to continue thinking.

The situation on the field gradually fell into anxiety, and Lin Ri also had a little change in Carmelo Anthony. No wonder this guy is so proud, he is indeed of a certain standard!
Of course, it's no wonder that Lin Ri didn't take him seriously before, and wanted to dunk him one after another. It's because his performance in the last game was too poor, and it fit the characteristics of cjb too much.

But now, don't say that this guy was LeBron James back then and was the "peerless double pride", even if he beat LeBron James at that time, Lin Ri would believe it.

This feeling is coming, the performance is really fierce and not human!
but……

We won't lose either!

Lin Ri once again cooperated with Steve Nash in the pick-and-roll and successfully got the ball, but at this time Afflalo made up for him in time, and the inside and outside lines were ready to form a double-team.

Lin Ri was not polite to him, and passed the ball towards the "Slam Dunk King" on the outside.

"Shh!"

Three point hit.

Lin-Chris Webb-Day overturned some ideas that George Karl had already thought up in his mind through this goal.

It's too difficult, it's too difficult!
George Karl never thought that he would be embarrassed like this by a young rookie.

This is unreasonable!

Oh, this guy is really not a reasonable guy!
George Karl thought of Lin Ri's achievements after entering the league, and he said this in his heart.

He wasn't discouraged either. After overturning his defensive assumptions, he started simulating a new defensive strategy again in the following time...

It's just that George Karl thought about this for a whole quarter, and he didn't think of any reasonable plan until the game time started in the fourth quarter.

Fortunately, after Carmelo Anthony integrated into the Nuggets' tactics, the entire Nuggets' offense was very fierce, which made their trailing point difference hover between 3 and 6 points...

Seeing that the fourth quarter was nearly three minutes away, George Karl slapped his head and made a decision...

He called a timeout, and then called all the Nuggets players who came off the court to him: "Guys, let me just say a word now. This game has reached this stage, and I don't want to talk about other things. Next, we will fight...It's not impossible, look at the current point difference! Let's win, I believe in you, guys, gogogo!"

He served a bowl of "chicken soup" to these guys.

Well, yes, that's the decision he made.

He definitely can't think of a way, but he still has his mouth, and he can say some nonsense, um, no, just say some impassioned words, that's enough!

Done!

gogogo!

Amid George Karl's clapping, the Nuggets re-entered the game.

It's just that their expressions are a little confused.

They don't know what George Karl's timeout is for...is it just for encouragement?
Well, then you win!
In the following time, the guys of the Nuggets continued to be in a stalemate with the Suns, and the overall point difference remained at around 4 points.

The atmosphere in the auditorium gradually became more and more focused as the time for this game dwindled.

Before the start of this match, they really did not expect that they would be able to play so anxiously. At first, they all thought that this would be an easy match to win.

Even at the end of the first quarter of the game, many Suns fans thought it would be a massacre for the Suns, and they were already leading by double digits.

However, looking at it now, the second place in the Western Conference in the regular season last season is still a bit of a background, and it doesn't matter if it doesn't usually happen, but now once it plays the state of last season, it will be different immediately. The two-digit point difference has been recovered so much, and the stalemate with the Suns has been stalemate until now...

but……

Victory is still ours!
The Suns fans were a little bit more worried.

Amidst their chanting, the game also came to the last 3 minutes.

Carmelo Anthony, who took the ball again, took a few breaths to adjust his breathing rhythm while making the "triple threat posture" again, and then he just started to make moves. It can be seen that he is very tired now.

Of course, this is also normal. More than 45 minutes have passed since this game... Carmelo Anthony has now scored 34 points, and this point difference can already be seen. How much physical energy Carmelo Anthony has consumed in this game.

At this time, there are some problems with physical fitness, especially for a guy like Carmelo Anthony whose body fat rate has always been a mystery, is it normal?
When Ariza faced him, the fear on his face was also very obvious.

In this game, Ariza felt that he was fighting against a younger Pierce, and this younger Pierce had better physical fitness, which was really difficult!
This also makes his body tense unconsciously when he sees Carmelo Anthony holding the ball now!

Carmelo Anthony took a tentative step, and then directly forced Ariza. Ariza didn't retreat, he was still close to Anthony. He knew very well that if he retreated at this time, this guy would shoot directly.

He has seen Carmelo Anthony use this trick several times in this game.

Therefore, this time he stopped his instinctive retreat and continued to make physical contact with Carmelo Anthony.

But at this moment, Carmelo Anthony made a gesture to jump up and shoot, and the hand holding the ball leaned directly on Ariza's body. This is a strong shot!

Ariza has to retreat if he doesn't retreat now.

His whole body leaned back, Anthony gained room to shoot, his raised hand froze suddenly, he simply adjusted his center of gravity, and shot again.

"Shh!"

Go in!

Anthony's goal silenced the entire American West Arena.

They stared blankly at Carmelo Anthony, isn't it unreasonable to score this goal?
2 points away!
"Defense, defend!"

Under normal circumstances, Carmelo Anthony, who would not yell at his teammates like this, felt the smile of the goddess of victory after hitting this goal. This was a victory he had longed for, and he couldn't help but yelled at his teammates.

This shout was indeed useful. The Suns' next attack was blocked by them. When Nene protected the rebound, Carmelo Anthony suddenly became eager: "Pass, pass!"

From the second quarter, all he thought about was to win the game. Now, after working hard for the entire second half, he stood just short of the goal. Even a calm person would have some psychological changes, let alone Carmelo Anthony's state of mind at the moment is far from being a calm person.

At this moment, all he had in his eyes was the basket.

Ariza was very close to him, but Anthony let everyone know at this moment how good his unnoticed but really outstanding physical fitness is.

While Ariza was chasing towards him quickly, he was opened up by him.

Another Suns player who was able to get back in time was Steve Nash.

It's a pity that after he collided with Anthony, he was directly squeezed away.

No matter how fast Steve Nash returns to defense, it is equal to no return to defense... I understand the applause!
Carmelo Anthony only had the basket in front of him.

He also only has eyes for the basket.

Taking a few more strides forward, Carmelo Anthony's entire body has already stepped into the free throw line, and his entire body is vacated into the air.

As soon as the door is finished, he is going to play handsome.

For example, a short-distance gliding split...

Everything went well until Carmelo Anthony straightened his arms, grabbed the whole ball and rushed towards the basket. When he was about to dunk it in, he heard a "snap" sound, and then he felt that the ball could not be pressed down.

On the contrary, there was a huge resistance that pressed his whole body back.

Carmelo Anthony couldn't take it.

The ball was slapped away.

At this time, he also saw the source of resistance... the familiar number 99 of the Suns!
This guy caught up at the last minute...

Give him such a look!
"Ho!"

Lin Ri landed quickly, grabbed the ball, and then yelled. Amidst his yell, the entire American West Arena boiled up...
