Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 77 Actor Anthony

But the Nuggets lineup is more than that, look at their center!
Marcus Camby!
This is a top defensive center who has won the DPOY, was elected 4 times to block shots, and was selected to the best defensive team twice!
You must know that this era is still an era when the inside line is more important than everything. It is definitely a nightmare for all teams to have such a super inside line gate in the penalty area.

It can be seen that the Nuggets this season are really ambitious, and there are contemporary leaders in all four positions that cannot be underestimated.

Except for Greg Buckner being a little weaker at shooting guard, the Nuggets have few obvious shortcomings.

Moreover, Zhao Haozai, who was sitting off the court, carefully took a look at the Nuggets players on the court, they were really tyrannical, they were all muscular men.

Although Greg Buckner is not as capable as the previous four bosses, his body is not covered. It is obvious that this guy is also a defensive champion.

This also made Zhao Hao finally understand why those fans in the previous life said that the Nuggets' defense in this period was terrible, and Anthony in this period was also the most fierce defensive time in his career.

Serving from the center line, Mihm's jump ball failed without any surprise.

The Nuggets get the ball.

Andre Miller slowed down the tempo and played offensive positions. He knew that Marcus Camby on the inside was terrifying on the defensive end, but it was useless on the offensive end. He could only grab offensive rebounds and play a second offense.

So he didn't intend to hit the ball inside, but handed it over to Anthony, the team's offensive kaleidoscope, to try his hand.

Anthony received the ball from the horns, and the familiar scene reappeared.

During this period, it is natural that you have a back, I have a back, and everyone has a back, so it is no surprise that Anthony started playing singles with a back.

It's just that unlike those reckless men who can only turn their backs to death, Anthony's backs can be varied.

No, he didn't start dribbling the ball after turning his back, but made a fake turn to the baseline, forcing Butler to take a step inside, and then directly turned over and shot a jumper.

Two points scored!

This action is simply picturesque.

The Lakers attack, and Atkins motions for Mihm to step forward for a pick-and-roll.

Well, although Mim is stupid, he still knows how to behave in the world and be obedient when facing team veterans like Atkins and Grant.

Mihm made a high pick-and-roll, but Marcus Camby on the inside didn't follow. Instead, he stood near the free throw line and was ready to shrink the basket at any time.

Well, Atkins was embarrassed to see this picture.

Let him go around and shoot three-pointers after the pick-and-roll, he still knows he doesn't have that ability, but let him attack inside after holding the ball. Marcus Camby standing on the free throw line seems a bit scary.

Just seeing Marcus Camby's eyes hungrily staring at the basketball in his hand made Atkins panic.

The reputation of the defensive gate is no joke.

The first possession failed, and Bryant glanced at the timing board on the rim. There were only 10 seconds left on the shot clock.

He quickly lifted from the bottom line to the top of the arc, motioning for a pass.

Atkins passed the ball in one breath, and Kobe caught the ball and made a shot fake from outside the three-point line.

Greg Buckner's defensive awareness is very good, he raised his hand slightly and was not deceived.

It's just that at this moment, Kobe immediately accelerated and killed inside.

He doesn't care if you're Marcus Camby or not, I'm Kobe.

Directly scored with a folding layup!
2:2
Marcus Camby failed to block the ball, but blocked Kobe's high shot route in the air, but Kobe's core strength was so good that he still scored the ball after flashing in the air.

Zhao Hao off the court shook his head when he saw this. Although Kobe still scored the ball with his super ability, the Nuggets have really succeeded in defending.

They have driven Bryant away from the comfortable shooting zone of the free throw line, but also led to the most dangerous inside!
It's just a pity that Marcus Camby didn't guard his restricted area well, but he can't be blamed for this. After all, the attacker was Kobe, a man with tens of thousands of weapons hidden in his crotch.

But the question is, how many goals can Kobe score the whole game in this way?

5, 10?
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that as long as Kobe doesn't score, the Lakers' offense will be in big trouble.

Sure enough, looking back, Andre Miller and Kenyon Martin hit the ground pass after a pick-and-roll, and Kenyon Martin went straight down to give the Lakers a solid dunk.

And Bryant's second shot went straight to the basket.

damn!

Anthony went straight down the fast break and scored a layup.

2:6
Tang Shuai did not call a timeout, but still signaled the players on the field to adjust themselves.

Bryant quickly signaled the team to adjust their style of play and hit a low half-shot.

Butler nodded and went around the front and raised his hand in the paint to signal a pass.

Atkins passed the ball steadily with a lob.

Butler faced Anthony, low singles!
Crack, crack, crack, crack.

Pushed four times, but did not push back, Butler could only choose to turn around to seek a breakthrough.

But Anthony made a move, and directly took out the ball to steal. This speed is really damn fast!

Who on earth got the nickname? This guy is called Little Melon. How sweet is he? He plays terribly fiercely.

Anthony throws a long pass directly to Andre Miller for a fast break.

Fortunately, Kobe stayed on the outside all the time, and directly returned the ball to the defense to block it.

Kobe beckoned to his teammates to rush back to defend. Everyone rushed back, but some were still a step behind.

Mihm is still near the center line, Marcus Camby received a pass from Andre Miller directly from the middle, and went straight to the penalty area for a long-armed dunk.

2:8
Throughout the Staples Arena, the enthusiastic fans fell silent for an instant.

They couldn't bear it, and they couldn't understand what the home team was playing.

Tang Shuai couldn't sit still anymore, looking at Hamblen beside him, he asked, "How many minutes have you been fighting?"

"We've been playing for 4 minutes. At this time, the opponent's players are still full of energy. It's not suitable to change to a smaller lineup. We have to wait another 2 minutes." Hamblen understood what Tang Shuai wanted to do and reminded him directly.

Tang Shuai stomped his feet as if he couldn't wait. This was the opening game at home, not only related to the team's regular season ranking, but also might affect the team's morale throughout the season.

So it is a must!
But not only did the Lakers fail to play the offensive performance they deserved, but they also allowed the Nuggets to play transition offenses one after another. This kind of ball hurts morale the most.

Should he just wait?
This is not Tang Shuai's style!
The referee blew his whistle, and Mihm fouled Anthony on the inside.

To be precise, after Anthony scored the goal, Mim still made unnecessary movements, causing the actor Anthony to fall directly and roll to the ground.

This is the future proud son of the alliance, do you dare to let him roll on the ground?If the referee doesn't blow, who do you blow?
