I'm really a slam dunk

Chapter 20 Provoking Anthony!
Back-to-back games, in NBA terms, are two consecutive days of away games.

This kind of game is a test of the physical fitness of the players, and many players will not be able to bear it.

On the afternoon of the 28th.

Sacramento, California.

Gold One Arena.

Coach Jesses led the Nets players to enter one after another.

Game start.

Facing the Kings, who had a strong lineup at this time, the Nets, who had been traveling all the way, lost ground at the beginning.

In this game, Duke played in rotation in the second quarter.

Du Qi has not yet adapted to this relatively compact and tiring game, and his performance is not good.

Even geniuses have their downfalls.

finally,
The Nets lost the game 78-90.

On the 29th.

Members of the Nets arrive in Denver, Colorado.

Denver Pepsi Center.

The Nets players who entered the field all had a tired look on their faces. Even if they slept on the bus or on the plane, those were only fragmentary time catch-up sleeps, which were far inferior to good-quality overall recovery. sleep.

In this arena that can accommodate more than 2 people, fans are crowded and crowded.

While warming up.

The Nuggets quickly noticed Du Qi, who called Du Qi this guy is so handsome!

Of course there is another reason:
"Hey Anthony, your rival is out there!"

"Is it true that enemies don't get together?"

Hearing the booing of his teammates, Carmelo Anthony, who was warming up, dribbled the ball under his crotch, and then subconsciously looked towards the Nets' warm-up area, and his eyes finally fell on Du Qi.

Being 'peeped' by Melo Anthony, Duke had no idea.

soon.

The game is about to start.

For the Nets, Du Qi finally became the starter!
Jed Jefferson, Kenyon Martin, Duke, Jason Kidd, Corey Kidders.

For the Nuggets, the starting lineup:
Marcus Camby, Andre Miller, Nene Hilario, Rodney White and Melo Anthony.

Stadium circle.

Duke was assigned a jump ball against Nuggets center Nene Hilario.

Well, with such a confrontation, the contrast is very clear.

Nuggets fans looked at this stark contrast and laughed:
"Hehe, the Nets are really interesting. They actually let a guard jump the ball?"

"This little guy! Hehe——"

"Do you want to give up the game at the beginning?"

"crazy!"

"The Nets must be crazy!"

Amidst their jeers,
beep!

The referee blows the jump ball whistle to let everyone know that the game has officially started.

The ball in the referee's hand was thrown vertically upwards. When it reached the highest point, Du Qi and the opponent's center jumped up at the same time.

The Nuggets fans opened their eyes wide with mockery in their eyes, waiting to see the Nets' joke.

however,
Backfired!

They saw, with a snap, the Asian kid jumped higher than Nene Hilario, hit the basketball with his right hand, and gave the ball to the Nets small forward.

A smashing jump ball!

wow~~~
Nuggets fans are not calm anymore.

Nets fans looked proud.

"This is Du!"

"So handsome!"

"His jumping ability is top-notch in the entire NBA!"

In this way, Du Qi's performance set off a small climax at the beginning.

"Oh~ I see a new star rising!"

Coach Jesses on the sidelines watched the "lively" opening, and couldn't help saying to Painter beside him.

The latter laughed:
"I've seen it a long time ago."

"Hahaha! I have to say, Painter, you are more poisonous than my vision!"

"I also think so."

"Hahaha!"

When Jesses and Paynter were "talking and laughing", the game had already been going on for one minute.

Neither the Nets nor the Nuggets have broken the zero-egg record.

At this time.

The Nuggets point guard drives inside, sees Anthony reaching out to him for the ball, fakes it, shakes the Nets defender, and passes the ball to his right.

Snapped!
It wasn't Anthony who caught the ball.

Anthony was ready to catch the ball with both hands when he suddenly saw a figure jump up in front of him and intercept his ball.

Anthony still maintains the movement of opening his hands to catch the ball, which seems a bit awkward at this time.

The expression on his face was stunned, looking at the figure who intercepted the ball, there was a question mark on his face!

Why can he jump so high?

why?
why?
And the one who jumped up to steal was none other than Du Qi!

After Du Qi steals, Kidd is the first to react and even ran back to the first half.

Seeing him running, Du Qi directly guided the ball to Kidd.

Bang bang bang!
Kidd dribbles, very skillfully.

Soon after halftime.

"Back to defense!"

"Get back on defense!"

Anthony reacted from the shock, glared at Du Qi's back viciously, and then turned full power to defend the Nets in the first half.

Swish!
Kenyon Martin received a pass from Kidd and scored a goal, finally breaking the two zeros on the scoreboard.

2-0.

"hateful!"

Melon Anthony was a little dissatisfied.

"I seem to understand why Duch is ahead of Carmelo Anthony, the No. [-] overall pick, on the rookie list."

"This Du is indeed talented!"

"Yes."

The more he heard these voices, the more Anthony wanted to compete with Duke.

I don't want to lose!
And this emotion was confirmed by Ducci finally taking a look at Anthony on the court.

Just because I took one more look at you in the crowd...

Nonsence!

Just because of a look, a provocative look from Melo Anthony!
"By the way, in the game against the Cavaliers, I beat James and won the system reward.

That system reward is related to NBA super giants,

And isn't the Anthony in front of him a future NBA superstar?
Then in the same way,

If he wins the challenge in this game, will he also be rewarded with a huge amount of experience points? "

Du Qi thought in his heart and asked a question.

"The host is really smart!"

Suddenly, the voice of the system in Du Qi's mind sounded, and the flattering system reappeared, making Du Qi jump.

Fortunately, Du Qi didn't really jump up, and his slight abnormality was not noticed by anyone.

then,

Du Qi grinned.

Well, looking at Anthony and grinning.

In Ducci's view at this time, Melo Anthony is just a walking experience doll!

And Anthony also happened to look at Duke,
Uh,
Seeing that Du Qi was looking at him with an "affectionate" grin, Anthony couldn't help but tremble all over.

This, this thing shouldn't be curved, right? !
The game continued, and in the 3rd minute of the first quarter, the Nuggets finally broke the zero egg under the center forward's shot.

But at this time, the Nets have already scored 5 points!

It can be said that in the first quarter of the game, the Nets' overall state was very good, while the Nuggets seemed overall sluggish.

And this season's Nuggets lineup is not strong.

At the end of the first quarter, 6-13, the Nuggets lost by 7 points.

During the intermission, Du Qi came to coach Jesses and volunteered: "Coach, I want to face that Carmelo Anthony."

And almost at the same time,

On the Nuggets side, Anthony also said something similar, Coach, I want to guard against that Asian No. [-]!
and so.

When the second quarter started, Duke and Anthony both stood opposite each other as they wished,

Affectionately...

Ah bah, staring at each other covetously!
