Standing pretty old

Chapter 699 Efficiency is King
Anthony's scoring stamina needs to be questioned, but his scoring explosiveness is really nothing to say.

Otherwise, it is impossible for Social Melon to occupy the scoring record in a single quarter together with "Iceman" George Gervin.

The attacking urge of an attacking ghost never needs to be suspected.

What's interesting is that Er Niu's desire for shooting rights in the first quarter of the game was far less strong than Anthony's. He almost shared the shooting rights with Ji Jisen and Lunar Eclipse.

After the start, Jon Jonson was in a slow state. He made 6 of 2 shots in a single quarter and only scored 4 points, 2 assists, and 1 rebound.

Eclipse was very efficient. Without Martin's marking, Balkman's physical talent was completely crushed. J-Smoove made 4 of 4 shots in a single quarter, scored 8 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists. The statistics were comprehensive and strong.

Ruan Erniu was not idle either. He made 5 of 4 shots in a single quarter, including 1 of 0 three-pointer and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists.

On the side of the Nuggets, Anthony lived up to his high-profile declaration before the game. He controlled a lot of shots, made 11 shots in a single quarter, hit 5 goals, made 2 free throws, scored 2 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 assists.

This single quarter score is indeed the highest of the two teams, but in terms of offensive efficiency, it seems relatively average.

Er Niu used less than half of his shots to complete a score almost equal to that of a social melon, which is proof.

I don't know if it was the negligence of the American media or deliberately ignored it. Erniu's scoring efficiency in 5 consecutive 50+ games has always been a neglected statistic.

When a player averages 27 shots per game and scores 5+ in 50 consecutive games, the prerequisite for the number of shots is to some extent more shocking to professional fans than the result of consecutive 50+.

It's a pity that most people focus on scoring records, but ignore the terrifying efficiency of Er Niu.

Social Gua said that given him the same opportunity, he can also do what Er Niu did, which itself is unreasonable.

Because Anthony has never proved in the game that he can continue to have such a high shooting percentage.

How scary is Erniu?
There are no opponents in active service, so we must find a comparison from history.

Look at Michael Jordan in the 86-87 season, which is the third season of his career, and also the season with the highest scoring average:

Flying His Majesty averaged 27.8 shots per game, while averaging 37.1 points per game.

He took 0.8 more shots than Erniu, but averaged at least 13+ fewer points per game.

Of course, it is not reasonable to compare Erniu's superb performance for a period of time with Jordan's sustained performance for a season, but it is also enough to show that Ruan Erniu is terrifying on the offensive end.

So the question is, what made Erniu give up and continue to hit 50+ games in a row?

In fact, the Celestials have already given the answer themselves-the team's chemical reaction!

When a team has a large number of shots controlled by one person for a long time, it is inevitable that other players will be slack and rusty on the offensive end. Superstar basketball is certainly exciting, but it will definitely not last long if it ignores the overall behavior of the team.

The arrogant Ruan Erniu wanted to establish an unprecedented dynasty at the beginning of his career, so he had to make sacrifices.

Sacrifice and compromise have always been two-way. Without the existence of Er Niu, the data of Jiong Jisen, Lunar Eclipse, Salmons, and even Dragic may have been greatly improved.

But without a championship, all of this seems very thin. On the competitive stage where the winner is king, only the championship can achieve greatness.

Super giants as strong as Ruan Erniu have to make sacrifices, and the team's second-in-command Jon Jonson has to make sacrifices, and Lunar Eclipse, Salmon, Claw Machine and others also have to make sacrifices. This is the essence of a historically strong team. real gesture.

Of course, it is also reasonable from the perspective of benefit analysis. After all, everyone understands the bonus effect of championship team members on player contracts.

Back in the game, when Er Niu saw that Anthony had so much possession of the ball, the Chinese knew that the game was basically won.

Even in the following games, Anthony can suddenly explode, Er Niu is confident that he can suppress him.

The social melons played very lively, but as soon as the first quarter was over, at 25:35, the Hawks quietly got a 10-point lead.

In the second quarter of the game, Ruan Erniu sat off the field with a smile and exchanged games with his teammates, discussing the opponents they will encounter in the next week or two.

On the court, the only player on the Eagles who didn't need to make too many changes is doing his own show, and he is Jamal Crawford.

Ke 6 performed well after coming off the bench in the first quarter, and showed his super talent on the offensive end in the second quarter.

He first scored a 2+1 against Afflalo's defense, and then tricked the short Ty Lawson into a foul from outside the three-point line, and played his signature 3+1.

The generals of the Eagles got up one after another, and Patrick Mills rushed to the front, shouting: "Guys, follow me to wave the towel!"

The Eagles' bench suddenly waved a white towel that covered the sky.

George Karl immediately asked for a timeout and replaced the main players on the field early. If he waited any longer, the game might be spent in advance.

Social Melon, who made crazy shots in the first quarter, seemed to wake up, stopped making wild shots, and returned possession of the ball to Billups.

The hearth dispatched in the center quickly stabilized the situation on the field. He first faced Bibby's defense, rushed to the basket, and scored 2+1. In the next two rounds, he used screens and dislocation defenses to send out consecutive Through the ball.

The beneficiaries are all Anthony!

Even if you don't hold the ball, the social melons under the basket can still cause damage.

Birdman received two fouls successively, and Zaza, who was in charge of protecting the frame, also received a foul.

Anthony used free throws to chase points efficiently, and the Nuggets almost approached the score to single digits in the middle of the second quarter.

Woodson then requested a timeout, and in the same way as the opposite George Karl did, Egghead replaced the team's main force.

Jon Jonson regained his touch as soon as he came on the court. Facing Graham's defense, he shot from inside and outside, scoring consecutive points.

However, Ruan Erniu played better.

In this section, the Celestials thoroughly implemented the tactics of pulling out the inside line.

"Brush!", "Brush!", "Brush!", "Brush!"

Not counting free throws, Er Niu only took four outside shots in this quarter, and the shooting rate was an astonishing 100%. Ruan Er Niu made all four shots. It can almost be said that in just 2 minutes, the game was reaped. .

At 25:37, the Hawks took another 12-point lead in a single quarter. Coupled with the score in the first quarter, the Atlanta people, who were playing at home, led their opponents by 50:72 and 22 points in the first half.

It is not surprising that the Nuggets will lose to the Hawks, so let's look at the scoring comparison of the leaders of the two teams:
Carmelo Anthony made 13 of 6 shots in the half, including 1 of 0 three-pointer and 8 of 6 free throws. He scored a total of 18 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.

Ruan Erniu made 9 of 8 shots in the half, including 5 of 4 three-pointers and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored a total of 24 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists.

Many people have guessed that the social melon will be slapped in the face, but they didn't expect the slap in the face to be too heavy. Just the tornado, it is inseparable from the storm circle, and it is too late to escape. Anthony can no longer think about it. He is about to be unbearable, but he has nowhere to go escape.

Well, whether unconsciously or belatedly, other players in the league should live a good life and stabilize their aura. After all, for a long period of time to come, they will slowly experience the fear of being ruled by the Chinese.

Woodson said in an interview at midfield: "Kraft, you can do whatever you like. As for those gossips, it doesn't matter at all. The strong are born to be surrounded."
