Chapter 360 Is it finally about to start?

Warriors vs. Denver Nuggets, in addition to being a very attractive game for Warriors and Nuggets fans, it also has a very strong appeal for some basketball fans who remain neutral (the latest chapter of the gangsters).

Both the Warriors and the Nuggets are good at attacking. Even if the Warriors have made a lot of progress on the defensive end this season, they still cannot change their offensive style. If Mike Malone has completely changed his style, then he is not the old Nelson.

As for the Nuggets, although they have been talking about defense in recent years, and the point guard position has been replaced by Billups who is more defensive, but they are deeply influenced by the head coach and they still focus on offense and light defense. .

In the basketball world, it is unanimously believed that defense can win the championship, but the game that really attracts fans to watch is definitely the confrontation. The reason for the finals.

In addition to the confrontation, the duel between Yang Shuai and Carmelo Anthony is also very attractive to basketball fans. It is commendable that they are all top five scoring players.

Because of the attractiveness of this game, it once again got the opportunity to broadcast live across the United States. Mike Breen, Jeff Van Gundy, and Mark Jackson sat in the commentary booth and introduced the starting lineup of both sides to the fans today.

The Nuggets' starting lineup has been very stable last season. The center position is still Nene Hilario, the power forward position is Kenyon Martin, small forward Carmelo Anthony, and shooting guard Aaron Aver. Lalo, point guard Chauncey Billups.

Warriors maintained their main lineup, center Tyson - Chandler, power forward Rasheed - Wallace, small forward Yang Shuai, shooting guard Stephen - Jackson, point guard Kirk - Hinrich.

"Cameron, I've been waiting for this day for a long time." In the middle circle, Yang Shuai said to Carmelo Anthony with a smile.He is indeed waiting for this day. This season, Yang Shuai is looking forward to the duel with the major scorers, and Carmelo Anthony is naturally one of them.

What's more, the relationship between Yang Shuai and Anthony is already pretty good. They even practiced together for two weeks this summer.But practice is practice, games are games, and only when they get to the arena is the moment when the two really play against each other.

Anthony still had his signature smile on his face, and of course his nickname of "Little Melon" was well-founded. He gently hugged Yang Shuai and said, "Yang, use all your skills, but today's Victory will only be ours."

Among the top players in the league, Anthony may be the least surprised by Yang Shuai's performance in the new season, because he already knew some of Yang Shuai's scoring methods during the summer sparring (the latest chapter of the Notebook).Of course, being the least surprised does not mean not being surprised. As a high scorer, he is well aware of the difficulty of averaging 30+ per game. Although he has expected that Yang Shuai's scoring will increase this season, he did not expect Yang Shuai to increase so much. quick.

"Victory? Cameron, it depends on whether you can defend your home court." Yang Shuai raised his mouth slightly. The Warriors this season are not the Warriors of last season. They have the strength to challenge any team. No, if Judging from the current record, it should be the Nuggets challenging the Warriors.

For the jump ball, Chandler and Nene took off at the same time. This time Chandler did not have the advantage, and Nene took the ball into the hands of Billups.

Dribbling the ball steadily, Billups unhurriedly pressed towards the half court. After half court, Billups did not pass the ball to Anthony, but passed the ball to Nene on the inside. .

In the past two years, Nene's offensive strength has begun to improve, and his offense at the basket has become more stable.Leaning back, turning around, hooking, Nene hooked the ball to the basket against Chandler and made a hit.

Like the Nuggets' offense, the Warriors' first ball was not handed over to Yang Shuai, but to Rasheed Wallace, whose defensive player was Kenyon Martin.

Leaning tightly against Martin, Wallace slapped the ball to the ground, then quickly turned around and rushed to the basket.Martin was stuck behind Wallace and didn't stop Wallace immediately, but he was still able to get stuck tightly beside Wallace.

Interferenced by Martin, Wallace couldn't get up to speed at all. When he rushed to the basket, Nene was already standing there, ready to fight.

Wallace is an excellent team player. He never sticks to the ball. If he sees his teammates have a good chance and his own chance is not good, Wallace can pass the ball immediately, like now.

Long arms raised, Wallace throws the ball, but not to Chandler, who was vacated by Nene, but to the outside, Stephen Jackson.

After receiving Wallace's pass, Jackson quickly lifted the ball, and Afflalo, who followed closely, jumped forward quickly (Yao Su full text reading).

"Nice feint, Stephen!"

While Mike Brin was exclaiming, Jackson took the ball back and moved slightly to the side. He tipped his toes slightly and shot the ball. Although the jumping height was not high when shooting, Jackson’s shooting speed made up for it. all of these.

"Shh!" When Afflalo jumped to Jackson again, the ball had already been thrown by Jackson and he hit a three-pointer.

Jackson's performance this season is still stable. Although many people think that Evans will force Jackson to give up his starting position sooner or later, the old Nelson seems to have no such intentions. Similarly, Jackson has not been affected.

Billups assisted Martin to succeed in the mid-range, Rasheed Wallace succeeded in singles inside, Chandler received the assist from Hinrich for dunks, Nene grabbed the offensive rebound and caused Chandler to foul and scored two points, Jackson Mid-range rush jump shot hit...

Nearly half of the first quarter has been played, but the two team leaders Yang Shuai and Anthony did not perform much. Yang Shuai scored two points through free throws, while Anthony scored two points through a layup.

The two top small forwards in the league seem to have forgotten how strong their scoring ability is, and that as the leader of the team, they should lead the team forward. After half a quarter, they scored very few points. There are not many opportunities to control the ball.

It's better for Anthony to say something. After all, after Billups arrived, the Warriors' possession of the ball was in the hands of the former Finals mvp most of the time, and Anthony was more responsible for scoring.

But for Yang Shuai, this is really a bit strange. This season, the Warriors often control the ball in Yang Shuai's hands.Although Old Nelson did not clearly define Yang Shuai as a playmaker, he also assigned Yang Shuai a lot of tasks to organize offenses.

But today, Yang Shuai only scored 2 points after half a quarter without any assists.

The fans are thinking that Yang Shuai and Anthony are accumulating strength, and they should soon enter the state to start the duel, but the time of the first quarter is decreasing a little bit, but the performance of the two is still so painless. Fans who watched the two top small forwards face off were bored.

"It's unimaginable that Yang, who is determined to be strong, can hold back for a quarter when facing Cameron. This season, whenever Yang encounters the league's top scorers, he always has a high fighting spirit. Brown and Kobe, Yang always attacked from the first quarter of the game. But today, Yang did not do this, is it because Yang and Cameron are friends?" Mike Breen asked with some doubts.

Of course, Yang Shuai will not be soft-hearted just because he is friends with Anthony. This is not the style of handsome Yang. It's just that he didn't rush to launch an offense in the first quarter after seeing that his teammates' offense was not bad today.There are four quarters in a game, even if Yang Shuai wants to confront Anthony, there is still plenty of time.

"Dick!" Billups missed a long-range shot at the buzzer. The first quarter ended at 26:27. The difference between the two teams was very small.

With 4 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds, Yang Shuai did not consume too much physical strength in the first quarter. After all, he played too few times, and more often he was attracting the opponent's defensive attention.But even so, Yang Shuai sat down to rest at the beginning of the second quarter. In fact, he was replaced with only 2 minutes left in the first quarter.

Tyreke was on the court, and Jackson, who had rested for 5 minutes, also returned to the court. Because there was no substitute, Hinrich, who had not rested in the first quarter, continued to stay on the court at this time. Sid Wallace and Landry's partner.

In terms of the strength of the substitute players, the Warriors are not weaker than the Nuggets. The reason why the Warriors have such a good record this season is largely because when the substitute players are on the court, they will hardly be opened by the opponent, and they can even make contributions.

The game went on for 3 minutes, the score came to 33:33, the two teams were tied, the Warriors made a substitution at this time, Yang Shuai replaced Hinrich and Chandler replaced Wallace.

The Nuggets attack, the backup point guard dribbles the ball across half court and hands the ball to Carmelo Anthony, Billups is no longer on the court, Anthony is naturally the No.1 pick to hold the ball Read the full text of the master).

"Cameron has the ball in his hands, he's going to attack, oh, are you going to start a duel, Yang is blocking him!" Mike Brin's voice made the fans in front of the screen start to look forward to watching this In this game, what they most want to see is the performance of Yang Shuai and Anthony.

Taking a tentative step, outside the three-point line, Anthony protruded with his right foot, trying to make a sudden move.

Yang Shuai naturally understood Anthony's scoring moves. Although Anthony's tentative steps were very realistic, Yang Shuai did not rush back, but moved his steps slightly.

Withdrawing and probing again, Anthony really made a breakthrough this time.Yang Shuai did not retreat and Anthony naturally had no chance to make an easy shot, so he chose to break through.

"Pow!" Anthony, who rushed forward quickly, did not escape Yang Shuai's defense. After the two bodies collided, Yang Shuai took a step back. Anthony's strength is not weak.

Another half step forward, Anthony jumped up and shot, while Yang Shuai also jumped up in front of him to interfere.

"Shua!" An emergency stop for a jumper, Anthony made a steady hit.

"Cameron hits a pull-up jumper, will Young be indifferent? Wow, Young has the ball..."

Hinrich went off to rest. The Warriors did not have a point guard on the field. The task of organizing the team's offense was handed over to Yang Shuai, who simply caught the ball from the backcourt.

"Young dribbled the ball half court, he didn't pass the ball, Cameron scored a goal on his defense on the last possession, did Young decide to fight back?"

"It's time to fight back, Yang is going to fight back!" "Attack, Yang is the strongest, the scoring champion!" "Is the duel finally about to start?" In front of the screen, after hearing Mike Breen's shout, the fans The same bright eyes.
