Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 160 It's clear at a glance who is the real super giant!
"Smile at the boos!"

After the Knicks players shouted their slogans, they returned to the field with determined faces.

Just now Anthony was knocked down by Wu Di continuously, like two heavy slaps, not only hitting Anthony's face, but also hitting their faces at the same time.

Anthony is their leading elder brother. The elder brother has been severely humiliated, and the younger brothers have been humiliated even more. How can they not share their hatred?

A good start to the last hard-won playoffs has allowed this reorganized team to quickly gather together.

Therefore, when the game started again, the Knicks quickly stabilized their position by taking advantage of this wave of full anger.

Anthony focused on defending Wu Di and handed over the offensive ball to Stoudemire.

And Stoudemire did not live up to his expectations. He made a hundred shots and hit the point difference. He also accidentally threw a super long three-pointer in the last attack of the first quarter, successfully leveling the scores of the two teams again. To 29-29!

Intersection break, Knicks sideline seats.

D'Antoni roared loudly:

"They can't hold it anymore!"

"Of the Cavaliers' 29 points, Wu Di contributed nearly half of the 14 points, Davis contributed another 8 points, and the remaining 7 points were contributed by Jamison, Jordan Jr., Love, and Beverly!"

"But Davis will be off the court soon. Even if he does not end, his performance in the second quarter will be greatly reduced due to physical problems, and all the pressure will be on Wu Di!"

"No rookie can withstand such pressure! The scale of victory will definitely tilt to our side!"

The Knicks generals nodded one after another. D'Antoni is definitely not bragging this time. Even if Wu Di is a god and Jordan is possessed, it is impossible for him to single-handedly challenge the entire team!

"After the second quarter starts, other people should stop defending Wu Di. There is a high probability that Wu Di will usher in a period of explosion. At this time, defending against him is nothing. The key is to pull up the offense!"

"The harder we push the attack, the more pressure Wu Di will bear, and the sooner the Cavaliers will collapse! So next we have to attack a wave..."

D'Antoni said, but he is not good at defense, so the focus of tactics will basically fall on offense.

After arranging the offensive tactics, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that Anthony's face was extremely ugly, and he hurriedly handed over a step and said:
"Anthony said before the game to limit Wu Di's scoring to 20 points. This is what I deliberately asked him to say, in order to affect Wu Di's mentality..."

"Although Wu Di scored the highest score in the Cavaliers team, Anthony has already defended very well. If you play, Wu Di's score will at least double..."

Anthony's face looked better now, and he secretly swore in his heart that he would lock Wu Di to death in the second quarter!

Soon, at the beginning of the second quarter, Davis continued to stay on the court, and the Cavaliers lineup remained unchanged.

In the first few rounds, the Knicks' offense failed to work and was successfully defended by the Cavaliers.

However, the Cavaliers' offense also stagnated, and the sound of banging irons made the situation stalemate on the court so that it could not breathe.

Turning to the Knicks again, the Quicken Loans center's defense shouted loudly, and Billups' MVP-level big heart in the Finals once again played a role.

He used Stoudemire's pick and roll to change his defender from Beverly to Davis. After testing out that the latter's physical strength had basically bottomed out, he decisively broke through and scored!
31-29!

The Knicks broke the game first, and there was a huge cry of regret in the Quicken Loans Center!
Davis dribbled the ball halfway, Billups pressed up, and Davis passed the ball to Beverly after the ball was dead, which did not lead to a turnover.

After the Cavaliers switched to two point guards, the Knicks also replaced Landry Fields with point guard Tony Douglas.

Beverly's offense hadn't been fully developed at this time, and after another wave of almost mistakes, he barely passed the ball to Wu Di who came to meet him.

"Shanzi, your hands and feet are already frozen by my defense!"

Anthony said proudly to Wu Di that he was ridiculed by the outside world for defending thousands of people, but as long as he was serious about defending, Kobe was once restricted by him!

Coupled with a lot of special training during this period, his defense has risen to a higher level.

Not to mention the outside world, even he himself didn't believe that this kind of change would happen to him!
But there was no way, it was all forced by Wu Di.

"I'll shoot you into a famous painting!"

Wu Di spat, his attention was unprecedentedly concentrated, if this wave of knights couldn't keep up, then there would be a big problem!

He calls a wing screen tactic, Jamison pulls up to catch the ball, Davis cuts into the penalty area to take Billups away, and Wu Di takes the opportunity to cross!

Crossing positions, normally Anthony should switch defenses, or at least make up for it, but Anthony didn't hesitate at all!
Davis, who just passed him, feels good?

It's none of his business, he only guards against Wu Di!

Others are not qualified enough to let him worry about defense!

Wu Di secretly cursed that the mud cannot support the wall, and Anthony has no sense of defense at all, so the Cavaliers' tactics are difficult to work on him.

Jamison hesitated for a while, Billups chased up, Davis missed the opportunity instantly, he had to pass the ball to Wu Di again, and at the same time changed his tactics to help Wu Di pick and roll.

But Anthony had expected it a long time ago, and he walked around without losing his position.

With only 9 seconds left, Wu Di's continuous crotch filled the pressure. Anthony lowered his center of gravity and opened his arms, ready to pounce on him at any time.

Wu Di just hit the iron with consecutive shots, and now that the pressure on the Cavaliers is so high, he predicts that Wu Di will choose to break through this ball...

However, Wu Di made a sudden and large crotch, and then connected with a horizontal retreat step, combined with the ball and raised his elbow!
Although this was completely different from what Anthony expected, he still rushed forward immediately!
This kind of superb quick response ability alone is not something that ordinary players can possess!

Wu Di paused for 0.2 seconds. At the moment Anthony fell, he seized the time difference and pulled it up!
But Anthony cut the ball off with quick eyes and hands!
"Damn, Anthony's reaction speed is too fast!"

Tate hit the commentary stage with a heavy punch. Wu Di made the right choice, but Anthony's physical talent and reaction speed are really outrageous!

Listening to the laments of the Cavaliers fans, the corners of Anthony's mouth rose wildly. When he picked up the ball, he saw Billups' position and directly fished the ball towards him!

Billups ran fast. If this wave of fast breaks makes another move, their lead will be extended to 4 points!
He ran forward non-stop, avoided Davis's steal, and then made a very standard three-step layup!
"Be careful behind your back!"

"Chauncey!"

Anthony and Stoudemire yelled desperately behind, but it was too late!

The basketball is gone!

Bang!
At the moment before the basketball was about to hit the backboard, Wu Di nailed the ball to the backboard like a god of death!
hiss!
More than 2 fans in Quicken Loans Center gasped at the same time!
Billups scrambled out of the court and performed a wave of what is called shit!

"My God, old man!"

The live DJ yelled at the microphone until the sound broke!

"It's so incomprehensible! It's crazy! It's brutal!"

Larry Nance also clutched his chest and exclaimed. Looking at Tate next to him, he was so scared that he was sweating profusely!

Anthony looked depressed. Although Wu Di is relatively weak in stealing the ball, his ability to chase caps is too incomprehensible!
Not only can he jump fast, but he can also be accurate, like a headshot at any time, which is dreadful.

He took one shot in the first quarter, and now Billups has another shot, which hurts morale very much!
"I won't give it, you don't want it!"

Wu Di was dribbling the ball, panting heavily. The time window for chasing caps just now was too extreme. It seemed to boost morale, but it actually consumed his energy behind it.

But he has to take the cap off!
Hey!
Anthony actually broke such a crucial goal for him!
He must take revenge!

Serious revenge!
Anthony was speechless. The talent and competitive awareness that Wu Di showed just now had conquered him a little bit!

He set up his defensive posture and concentrated his mind like never before. He wants to use this defense to boost the morale of the Knicks!
"Guys, I have never seen such a wonderful extreme offense and defense!"

Tate regained his strength and said excitedly: "You never know what will happen next!"

As his words fell, Wu Di pulled up a three-pointer from a distance!
Almost the same distance as the round bottom of the middle circle!

Anthony desperately jumped up to block the shot. To be honest, he really didn't expect this distance!

He gritted his teeth and covered Wu Di's face with his hands. He wanted to get in his eyes, but his super giant status made him restrain himself a little.

But no matter whether it is to close the eye or insert the eye, it is useless!

The red basketball crossed a long parabola in the air, and fell into the net with the expectant eyes of more than 2 spectators in the Quicken Loans Center!
boom!
The auditorium at the Quicken Loans Center was boiling!
Unsolvable ultra-long three-pointer!

Back out of the arena!

31-32!

The Cavaliers take the lead again!

"YES! This is not a three-pointer! This is the Julang intercontinental missile from the Knight Emperor!"

Accompanied by the passionate yelling of wheat by the live DJ, the cheers almost toppled the roof!
"It's just maddening!"

On the sidelines, Tate's old face flushed with excitement:

"Did Wu Di shoot the basket or the sea? Why do I keep seeing the waves?"

Larry Nance took over the conversation and said jokingly:

"Haha, it's true that one wave is higher than the other wave! The wave is crazier than the next wave!"

"17 points! Less than 3 minutes into the second quarter, Wu Di has already scored 17 points!"

"Anthony even said before the game that he would limit Wu Di's scoring to 20 points. It's ridiculous!"

"Oh, by the way, Anthony has only scored 5 points now, and Wu Di may limit him to 20 points hahaha!"

D'Antoni suddenly thumped in his heart, something bad happened!
Larry Nance is indeed a veteran of the court, and the two sentences accurately teased Anthony's sensitive points!
Anthony probably couldn't help but want the ball to attack, but in this way, his restraint on Wu Di on defense will be weakened a lot...

He hurriedly shouted at Anthony with his hands in the shape of a big trumpet:

"Cameron, don't distract yourself..."

But it was still a step too late. Larry Nance's words pierced the aorta of Anthony's heart like a sharp thorn!

In Wu Di's current state, it is definitely impossible for him to limit him to less than 20 points, but it is possible for him to be limited to less than 20 points!
Anthony is numb!

If the reporters asked after the game, would he still have the face to be a super giant?

He might as well be the king of New York instead of the king of talking...

Brownie can bear it, but he can't bear it!
Anthony's eyes were red, and he began to play desperately for the ball on the court!

Damn it!
Wu Di scored 17 points, and he only got 5 points!
Wu Di has more fractions than him!
Just outrageous!
He has to divert part of his energy to attack!

"Oh! FXXK!"

Although Anthony scored in the mid-range shot, D'Antoni still held his head and spat:
"How can your firepower be compared with Wu Di!?"

As a running and gun master, D'Antoni's perception of Wu Di can be summed up in four words: scoring machine!
This can be seen from his saying before the game that the Knicks have a 20% chance of losing because they did not restrain Wu Di.

And Anthony's physical strength is indeed a problem. This guy can only choose between offense and defense, and he can't do both offense and defense at the same time.

Soon, the gradually widening point difference between the two teams confirmed his thoughts...

Although Jordan and Jamison still feel cold, and Davis's physical problems have become more and more obvious, the scale of victory has begun to tilt towards the Cavaliers.

Because Wu Di, who feels smooth, is really scary!

At the end of the second quarter, the Knicks' offense stopped for a while, and Wu Di seized the opportunity to play a wave of 0-6 to bring the score to 45-55!

The score difference has exceeded 10 points!

D'Antoni hopped his feet anxiously. It's not that he didn't need to pause to persuade him, but Anthony just refused to listen when his temper came up!
At halftime, D'Antoni gave Anthony an ultimatum:

"Stop playing singles and focus on defending Wu Di! Don't worry, I will smooth things over for you after the game. You just need to defend Wu Di..."

But Anthony remained silent, his face no longer had a melon-like smile, replaced by a prince-like frown.

Wu Di has already scored 28 points, not only surpassing 20 points in the half, but also only 30 points away from 2 points!
This fully proves that his harsh words are nothing but bullshit!

What made him even more unacceptable was that he only scored 11 points!
11 points...less than half of Wu Di's score!
Wu Di had obviously sensed his intentions and began to exert force on the defensive end, which made him even more annoyed!
Seeing that he didn't even reply, D'Antoni mobilized his disciple Stoudemire to persuade him, and finally even specially arranged tactics without Anthony...

But it was useless. At the beginning of the second half, Anthony asked for the ball again as soon as he came up!
The Knicks' point guard is Billups, the hardcore brought over by Anthony from the Nuggets.

Between D'Antoni and Anthony, he decisively chose the one without virtue...

"FXXK!"

D'Antoni stomped his feet angrily when he saw the ball come into Anthony's hands again.

But he has run out of talents.

He had just arranged a tactic without Anthony, and it was considered a last resort.

Moreover, Walsh, general manager of the Knicks, promised absolute possession of the ball when he recruited Anthony. If he crosses the line again, Anthony will complain to the management afterwards, and his position as coach may even be unstable...

No way, this is the price to pay for recruiting the so-called super giants.

However, on the Cavaliers side, the focus of defense has already been aimed at Anthony.

And under Wu Di's full defense, he received surprising results.

After eating the third hot pot rewarded by Wu Di, Anthony began to take shots reluctantly in order to avoid the block, setting an embarrassing record of 9 for 0 in one fell swoop!
"It's you, the Antarctic blacksmith, who said to keep my hands and feet cold?"

Wu Di was joking, he couldn't wait for the post-match press conference.

Anthony was furious and asked for the ball again. Although the sliver of rationality told him to slow down, the point difference between the two teams, which he couldn't bear to look at, made him smash the can...

Seeing that Anthony was obsessed and refused to listen to persuasion, D'Antoni could only punch the air with regret:
"FXXK! One person kidnapped the entire team!"

Disappointment could not be concealed in his eyes. The rhythm was good, but Anthony led the whole team to collapse!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help cursing and saying:
"Just questioning the quality of other superstars. One carries the team on his shoulders, while the other kidnaps the team for the sake of face. It's clear at a glance who is the real superstar!"

D'Antoni looked at Scott with envy and hatred in his eyes. This time, he has realized what it means to compare people to others, and to compare goods with one another!
He originally thought that Anthony was not bad, but now compared with Wu Di, he is a pure younger brother!
In the third quarter, the score of the two teams was fixed at 57-73.

Although Davis went off early in the third quarter, the Cavaliers' offense slowed down significantly, but because of Wu Di's successful defense of Anthony, the Knicks' offense fell directly into the swamp...

"Hey! Your physical strength has bottomed out, don't play in the fourth quarter!"

During the intermission, D'Antoni gritted his teeth and said that he was so angry that he didn't want to call Anthony's name anymore.

However, Anthony slapped him fiercely with his eyes. From that appearance, it was obvious that he had no intention of stopping.

Although his physical strength has bottomed out, he only scored 16 points, 7 of which came from free throws!

But Wu Di scored 35 points!
Not only surpassed Anthony's 20-point control line, but almost doubled it...

In this case, let him end, it is better to let him commit seppuku on the spot!
He must continue to strike iron in the fourth quarter... no, continue to score!
Otherwise, how should he explain it to the media?
How to explain to fans?

At this moment, compared with the team's momentary win or loss, his super giant image is the most important!
