In fact, until now, Stephen and Carmelo Anthony have not scored high. Allen Iverson only scored four points, but sent three assists. The offense of both sides is a bit full-blown. Kenyon Martin scored eight points, while Wilcox and Coupard each scored five and four.

Watson is the player with the highest score in the Sonics. He made three of four three-pointers, one of two two-pointers, one of two free throws and scored twelve points, two points more than Stephen's. Duran Te was unexpectedly scoreless, but he sent out three assists and one block.

At the end of the first quarter, the two sides scored 36 to 34, and the Sonics were still two points behind. Of course, if it wasn’t for Carmelo Anthony’s three-pointer at the buzzer in the last [-] seconds, the lead would be The Sonics are gone.

In the second quarter, the Nuggets replaced Iverson, Camby and Anthony Carter, and replaced Atkins, Kleiza and Diawara. They were still the same offensive style of play just now, but now Carmelo Anthony will handle the ball.

The Nuggets have yet to find a way to allow Iverson and Anthony to coexist. Occasionally, after the two perform very well in one game, the two become incompatible in the next few games. The final solution is to let the two take turns controlling the ball. .

In fact, this method is not a perfect solution, but the two of them are used to being the boss of the team, and they are unwilling to help others. this level.

There are many reasons for this situation. The general manager of the Nuggets, Vandeweghe himself, is not a very assertive person. In addition to improving the strength of the team, he was also thinking of trading Iverson. You can make a laugh in business, after all, Iverson's market appeal is few people can match.

But he did not firmly decide to use Iverson as the core of the team. After all, he wanted to compare Carmelo Anthony with younger and more potential, but he did not directly express his attitude. The team is based on Carmelo Anthony. Core, Iverson came here to help you. He didn't do this, but shifted the responsibility to George Karl.

If it is replaced by other coaches, such as Larry Brown, Sloan, etc., or even Jeff Van Gundy, there will be no problem. Whoever is more in line with my tactics will be the core, whoever is more capable will be the core, whoever Who will be the core of the better competitive state? George Karl did not do this. He threw the question of how two people can coexist to Carmelo Anthony and Iverson.

Now that you are both adults and star players, it is up to the two of you to decide who will be the boss. Players on many teams also do this, such as Pippen It's not that he is willing to give Jordan an immediate hand, but that Jordan has the strength to overwhelm him.

The situation of Iverson and Carmelo Anthony is a bit special. Iverson is relatively strong, but he is a foreigner after all, and he is older. If he is two or three years younger, he will definitely take the position of the boss without hesitation. Snatch it over, but now, forget it, I'm too embarrassed, but Iverson is not too reconciled if he is willing to be Carmelo Anthony's assistant, Carmelo Anthony does not have the ability to convince him.

Carmelo Anthony, on the other hand, considered that Iverson was much better than himself in terms of fame and qualifications, and he didn't say he wanted to grab his position as the leader. It was a bit unreasonable for him to challenge him rashly. So stalemate.

Now that he is leading the team alone, Carmelo Anthony is even more free, shooting from the outside and attacking at the basket. At the same time, when he finds that his teammates have better opportunities, he can also distribute the ball to the team in time. Teammates, seeing Carmelo Anthony like this is simply a defensively weakened version of LeBron James.

According to the arrangement of the head coach Carlesimo, this game does not need to spend too much energy on defense, but Stephen still treats Carmelo Anthony with standard defensive strength. It seems that there is nothing against Carmelo Anthony. same impact.

In terms of offensive means and offensive timing, Carmelo Anthony is better than LeBron James. At the small forward position, among the players Stephen has encountered, only Paul Pierce can beat him. Just like this attack, Carmelo Anthony first leans his body to the left, and at the same time sticks out his left foot. The action is between a real action and a fake action. If you don’t respond, he will definitely take a big step and kill the past directly, but if you react , then he followed it with a movement to the right, and the stride was not particularly large, which left enough space and strength for the big stride of the third step, and could be retracted in time.

If the defensive player reacts again at this time, then he will quickly take back his steps, and at the same time take a step back and make a jumper. The average defensive player has no energy to continue to react at this time, and can only watch helplessly. He shot.

The whole movement is not particularly fast, not as fast as lightning and strong wind like many people's breakthroughs, nor does it have the fancy steps like butterflies piercing flowers, but it is very rhythmic. reaction.

Seeing Carmelo Anthony throw the ball into the basket in this way, and it was still a three-pointer, Stephen came over and then returned an almost identical shot, but his action before the shot was different from Carmelo Anthony, Stephen's The breakthrough action is not as simple, fast and effective as Carmelo Anthony. He uses more rhythmic changes and strength advantages. For defensive players who dare to stand in front of him, Stephen uses more strength to squeeze the opponent Losing balance and pressing the other party to adjust the center of gravity of the body, at this time it is naturally impossible to respond to Stephen's next move.

But dealing with Carmelo Anthony doesn’t need to be so complicated. Carmelo Anthony’s defensive attitude is really bad. If he is switched to those defensive teams, then he must be the team’s most obvious loophole. But in the Nuggets, this weakness It is equivalent to non-existence, because almost everyone is a loophole.

Stephen only took one step forward, Carmelo Anthony stepped back, and Stephen immediately made a step-back jumper and sent the ball into the basket.After coming back, Carmelo Antonio made another shot from outside the three-point line and hit the basket, and Stephen then responded with another one.

In the third round, Carmelo Anthony finally passed the ball, but no one else got a chance to make a shot, and finally passed the ball back to Carmelo Anthony. Carmelo Anthony happened to be attracted by helping his teammates at this time. The defense focused and ran beyond the three-point line. Seeing the ball flying over, he took a big step out of Stephen's defensive range for a while, and then took off without hesitation to catch the ball. basket.

Today, this kid is extremely accurate in three-pointers. After Stephen came back, he made a breakthrough and scored the ball. After three or four players, he passed the ball to Durant on the outside. The second quarter was originally his rest time. Because his state in the first quarter was not very good, Carlesimo deliberately asked him to play a little longer on the court to adjust his state.

As a result, Durant didn't seem to have a shooting sight today, and his shot was still off the mark. Fortunately, Nick Collinson grabbed the rebound and handed it to Stephen again. Stephen made a wide-range pass , and passed the ball across the half court to Ridnour, who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

It is only possible that Ridnor once again wasted this opportunity. The ball he shot hit the basket heavily, bounced high, and flew into the hands of Stephen who rushed within the three-second zone. After Stephen received the ball, Before his body hit the ground, he had already looked around to see the situation clearly. There was only Wilcox in his line of sight, and he was still blocked by the opponent, and there were Kame around his landing point. Anthony and Atkins are two opposing players.

Stephen was just surrounded by three opponents in a semicircle, and he was ready to double-team the opponent's eyes. Stephen turned his body when he was in the air. As soon as he landed, he cooperated with the handball. Quickly flashed out of the encirclement.

But at this time Stephen also knew that the attack time was running out, but due to the speed of jumping out too fast, Stephen ran until beyond the three-point line before adjusting his body, turned around and took off, and when he jumped in the air, Stephen His two legs were still twisted together like a twist, and he threw the ball so awkwardly.

While the ball was still flying in the air, the 24-second bell rang, but the ball flew into the hoop as accurately as if a guidance system was installed, which made the Nuggets' expectations come to naught, and came back to Carmelo Anthony Another shot, this time finally missed, came back Stephen suddenly went in and made a wonderful pass through the crotch, hit the ball to Ridnour, Ridnor broke through again after receiving the ball, and easily broke through Art Kings' defense, Kenyon Martin was about to intercept, Ridnor turned to the left, but the ball in his hand was secretly passed to Wilcox behind Kenyon Martin, Wilcox There was a chance to make a phone call, but his eyes happened to see Durant who was unguarded outside the three-point line, and he passed the ball to Durant with a flick of his hand.

Durant didn't choose a three-point shot this time. Well, he lacked confidence, and he took a long stride forward. With his long legs, the stride was more than one meter away, and he entered within the three-point line. Pulled the jumper, but still didn't make it.

It happened to be the official timeout time. After returning to the court, Carlesimo criticized the situation. It was not that he criticized Durant for failing to make a shot, but that the players on the court played too impartially and the passing of the ball was a bit There are too many. If you add the pass from Ridnor to Stephen, the attack just now has four passes. Under normal circumstances, each offensive pass should be two to three times, and it is best not to exceed four. Again, because passing is also risky.
