Chapter 1682 The Fallen Superstar

In fact, the Thunder are currently driving high and low, and they are not playing well, but because of the Big Three model, ESPN thinks it is slightly better than the Lakers.For most reporters and media, the paper strength of the lineup is the king of evaluation.It can be said that there are only a small group of people who can really break into it.Westbrook is still averaging a triple-double this year, but people are very adaptable. What surprised everyone last year is much lower this year.Therefore, coupled with the disadvantage of the Big Three leading the team, on the contrary, there have been more articles accusing Westbrook.

At the beginning of the game, Westbrook used the pick-and-roll to break through, cut in, and pass the ball out. In fact, his throwing this year is much better than last year's passing for the sake of passing, but Anthony's side is not strong.Anthony ran too slowly for the ball, and he was still a bit out of shape. He was directly intercepted by Kuzma of the Lakers, made a fast break, and scored a one-handed dunk.

Anthony is the main breakthrough point for the Lakers tonight, because Anthony... is no longer the Anthony he used to be.

The Lakers this season are not the invincible Lakers before. Injuries, lineup damage, and defensive collapse are all problems that must be solved now.Therefore, targeted layout is very necessary.And the targeted arrangement of the Lakers is... Carmelo Anthony.Yes, that's Anthony.Why is Anthony not wanted for a long time in the future?In fact, in terms of data, there is no problem playing a role or a high-powered substitute.But... he is now in one word, lazy.

lazy.

As he gets older, the offensive mode has not been able to keep up with this era, and the playing is naturally becoming more and more strange.He obviously has a very good shot, and he was once one of the FIBA ​​killers of the US team.The attack range spreads all over the half court.Such a person should be very suitable for the small ball era, but... like Howard, he has the biggest problem.I just can't get my mind right.I can't accept myself playing a style that lowers my superstar status.

Howard is on the pick-and-roll bar.Obviously, his physical fitness is very effective in pick-and-rolls, but if he doesn't play, Nash is so angry that he is speechless.

Anthony is playing against the character.Obviously the shooting touch is still top-notch and excellent, but if he doesn't do it, he just wants to continue the low-efficiency three-threat singles.What do you think you can do?If you still have the ability when you were young, then forget it, but now, do you still have you?You are gone!So what are you still doing here?

What did Ray Allen do when he came to the Green Army to form the Big Three?Directly from the top 25-26 points of the previous peak ball-handling and shooting comprehensive scorer to a full-time outside shooting style.New fans may not know that Ray Allen was definitely the master of the game with the ball back then, but his shooting was excellent.It is completely different from the style of play in the Green Army era.Anthony could have been like this, being an efficient full-time perimeter shooter.Lei Allen Yuzhu is in the front, he only needs to imitate, and he doesn't need to innovate by himself.But... Melon just doesn't do it.

In addition to his walking style without the ball, the aggressive offensive rebounds he used to have are gone, and he likes to stop the ball when he gets the ball. Who likes this in the space age?The coach asked him to play as a substitute, but he was not happy.I thought I was a superstar fan.As a result, no one wanted a substitute immediately.this is the truth.

Not to mention defense, the Nuggets will still try their best to defend at the critical moment, but the Knicks seem to be... a bad habit.

The position is missing.

People can't stare at people.

Co-defense and joint defense are lazy and slow.

Eye defense + akimbo defense without oppressive ability.

You see... even Donovan asked him to use his tonnage and weight, top people, block positions, and help teammates protect rebounds, he didn't bother to do it.Now, which coach do you think is not angry?Do you think you were the scoring leader Anthony back then?Can you average 20 points per game now, bro?You're not a first-class scorer anymore, you can't even maintain a near-first-class level, you know!You are now a second-rate scorer. To put it bluntly, you are not a top-notch scorer anymore.What are you still pretending to be?
In the future, Anthony wants to return to the Thunder for 1 million a year. What did Donovan say?Directly stated that Anthony is a cancer in the locker room.

But in the final analysis, basketball still depends on the players. If you play well, the coach can only speak well to you, and you must obey if you disagree.Unfortunately, Anthony's decline this season is obvious to all.Obviously, no special systematic and rigorous training was carried out during the offseason. As a result, he is one year older and slow to move on the court. Once the confrontation improves, his stability will drop sharply.It can be seen in the playoffs that he averaged more than 32 minutes per game, only made more than 3% of his field goals, more than 2% of his three-pointers, and scored 11+.The rest of the data is even more appalling.In such a situation, he had only himself to blame.I can't do it myself, and it's useless to say anything.

The Lakers are focusing on Anthony's point of play, and even the defense tries to let Anthony play singles.

Even if Anthony is singles against Kuzma, his efficiency is mediocre. Anyway, his current singles ability is to let him play, and we can easily win the level.Anthony actually didn't feel good at the beginning tonight, and then with the support of Kuzma, a rookie and Tang Qian and others, talking trash, Anthony exploded all of a sudden.Start to sell a lot in a short period of time.Don't look at your teammates at all, just look at the basket.Well, it's fine if you can get in like this, but the problem is, you can't get in now.Then there is a big problem.

This is the team of the Big Three, not New York that you can light a cigarette and cover New York, so the Thunder had a big problem in the first quarter.Tang Qian and Anthony have never met each other. He was a rookie who just joined the league and had a lot of conflicts with Anthony.It's the same on and off the field.Anthony made him a lot of stumbling blocks, and said that the gap between Tang Qian and himself is like the gap between Queens Avenue in New York and the slums.But now times have changed, Tang Qian and Anthony have long been separated by day and place. Seeing that Anthony is struggling to beat Kuzma now, and James at the same level is still in the second position in the league, you know that self-discipline and hard work gap.

Tang Qian is indifferent to James' style of play, but he has never doubted James' self-discipline and hard work.

But Anthony... it's hard to say.

"You should lose weight. With such a big belly, I feel flustered when I run." Tang Qian just looked at him pitifully and reminded him, but Brother Gua doesn't do this at all now.He won't see the reality clearly until no one wants it next season, so he said on the spot: "It's none of your business!"

"Hehe." Tang Qian sneered and said, "I just told you because you were pitiful. I'm serious, even if you come to the Lakers with a basic salary now, I would not want you very much. You might as well It has value in my eyes."

"Are you spraying me?" Why is Anthony still so impulsive despite his age?It's also drunk, the fatter you are, the slower your brain works?
"I spat on you?" Tang Qian laughed back, then turned to look at Anthony suddenly and said, "Dude, do you think you deserve me to spat trash on you now? If you figure this out, don't get angry. I'm too angry, my liver not good."

You... this Eastern center is still so annoying, but now he has nothing to do.

I can only use this Kuzma to vent my anger. Tang Qian is really bad enough. Tonight, he said in front of Anthony: "Fuck him, Kyle, score over him tonight, let him see it clearly." I am already a fat melon now, no, I have a face like a big fat melon." Kuzma was a little flattered, but Tang Qian did what he said, and went up to pick and roll Kuzma, and then Kuzma drove straight in and entered Going in is getting ready for a layup.

At this time, the voice of No. 29 sounded behind him: "What basket?"Dunk!That guy can't jump anymore, just buckle him!

Kuzma really changed it to a dunk, and then... he succeeded in smashing the dunk vigorously!Sure enough, Anthony didn't even take off to block the shot.

Anthony's defense, in this life, has never been easy!Never!
To put it simply, the DBPM career is negative, negative 1.2.What about this season?It was even more horrible, falling below minus 2.This is tantamount to defending a black hole.But Anthony is not without defensive talent, because his number in the playoffs is a positive number.Therefore, it is said that Melon is not working hard on defense, and there is nothing wrong with it.He is capable, at least above the league average is OK, but he is lazy, or wants to save energy on the offensive end.

Kuzma didn't know if this dunk gave him confidence, and he started to score consecutively with the help of Tang Qian. After halftime, he scored 15 points and Anthony scored 4 points.Yes, you read that right, that's it.Anthony made an astonishing first-half shot, making 12 of 1 shots in the first half, plus free throws, before scoring 4 points.Hit rate... 8.3%.

black?No, because this season, he has only handed over such data, so Anthony has really degenerated.If he didn't change his style of play, it would be useless.The Los Angeles Lakers even hope he gets the ball in his hands and then conducts a solo attack.In this way, the ball is more than half stable.

Attacking as a superstar, if the opponent has this mentality, it means that this person... is basically not a superstar anymore.

Kuzma slapped Anthony on the stats.Anthony's shots in the first quarter were focused on mid-range three-threat shots. Under Tang Qian's reminder, Kuzma specialized in defending this, and Tang Qian was on the inside to protect the basket. Anthony's first-half shot was called A mess.Tang Qian also said to Kuzma in front of Anthony:
It’s nothing to surpass this kind of late superstar, don’t be proud, you should win him, you are young, you have unlimited possibilities.

Kuzma was motivated by Tang Qian's words, but Anthony's face became darker and darker.Donovan saw it, and then wanted to put him on the bench and lead the bench lineup.This is also for Anthony's own good, because Anthony obviously didn't feel good in the first half, so playing on the bench can also find the feeling of attacking.After all, the level of the substitute is not as good as the main force.Donovan thought there was nothing wrong with this arrangement.But... to his astonishment, Carmelo Anthony actually, actually rejected this proposal.

He refuses to play on the bench himself!

Yes, this season Anthony got into a fight with the head coach because of this in the original time and space, and it hasn't stopped.

For him to play as a substitute is an insult.Yes, peak period, that's right, but... are you still there?
Are you still the strongest horse that Syracuse University single-core led the team to the only championship in NCAA team history?

If not, you have to look at yourself clearly.Some people can't play the ball, and it's their own fault.

Donovan is also drunk. I am not asking you to always play as a substitute. It is for your own good and for the good of the team. You are ungrateful.Yes, I just didn't appreciate it, so the Lakers led by 25 points at halftime.I only got a poor 4 points.You don't even need to brush up your hand feeling and data during the substitute time, you are really... out of your mind.

Tang Qian, on the other hand, doesn't care about these because of the capped physical crystal bricks. He has to play as a substitute for the main force anyway, and now the Lakers also need him.He has been there, and the Lakers' bench lineup can be said to be... the strongest and most advantageous team in the league during the regular season.The regular season is not like the playoffs, it basically saves energy and consumption for the stars.Tang Qian leads the team, that is called a substitute time, killing the Quartet. With a lead of 25 points, this section has pulled up a full 15 points.

The Lakers also used this, which greatly reduced the team's sharp decline in strength due to injuries.

Tang Qian is currently sitting firmly in the league's first playing time, and he is also the only one who has played more than 40+ minutes.

Tang Qian saw that Anthony came up again in the third quarter, and he still played the first game. He felt that the ball was stable, and he resolutely implemented the team's tactical strategy formulated tonight, and stormed Anthony:

Let me tell you something, now you are worse than a slum in my eyes, you are a sewer, at best.

Don't try to stare at me, prove it to me if you have the ability, the rookies on our team score much better than your stats, right?
Well, this guy Anthony was immediately fooled, or he was conceited and felt that he had the ability to slap him back.Then he hit the iron one after another, and all the remaining hope of the Thunder team was wiped out by him.

In the golden generation of 03, Anthony has lost the aura of a star.

Kuzma suppressed him and made him lose face tonight. Anthony only got a poor 8-pointer tonight and wasted more than 20 shots.As for Kuzma, he scored 14 points in 22 shots. With this efficiency gap, Anthony is the biggest culprit for the Thunder's inexplicable loss tonight.

You can tell by Donovan's face that he is extremely livid.
