Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 198 The "Stone Buddha" of the Playoffs

"Don't be impulsive, the game has just begun." Anthony looked at Nene and reminded.

Nene nodded, didn't say anything, and retreated to the half court.

The Spurs' offensive tactics look complicated, but in fact there is one principle, which is to find offensive opportunities through active running and off-ball pick-and-rolls in the offense. This is similar to the Nuggets' running and bombing, but the difference is that , The Spurs' offensive rhythm is very slow, they always have to find the most suitable point, of course, they don't have to worry about not finding this kind of opportunity, because once this happens, they have a stable scoring point on the field that will make them The ball is sent to the basket, and now the most representative players on the field are "Stone Buddha" Duncan and "French Sports Car" Parker.

Don’t underestimate this simple tactic. After you have established a certain technical and tactical foundation, sharing the ball is the most motivating way of playing on the basketball court. The rise of the Nuggets is a good illustration of this point. And Duncan and Parker, and even the presence of Ginobili on the bench, are the second choice to ensure their stable scoring. Two-pronged approach, this is the way for the Spurs to win.

At this moment, the players of the Spurs kept interspersing inside and outside the line and slipping the bottom line. lasting.

However, the Nuggets play run-and-gun tactics. Although Brand is missing, their run-and-gun defense is also of a certain level. After fiddling with the ball for a while, I didn't find a suitable opportunity. In the end, the ball naturally fell into Duncan's hands.

Anthony was pulled out of the three-point line by Turkoglu at this moment. After seeing the ball in Duncan's hands, he immediately reminded Nene: "Nene, be careful not to foul, you will be really serious twice. Gotta go down and rest."

Anthony knows Nene's character, so he can't take care of that much at the moment. After Brand was injured, Nene has already been the main scoring point of the Nuggets' inside offense. If there are two fouls, then this game will be really Not many heads left.

You must know that although Wang Zhizhi can also display some power on the offensive end, firstly, most of his offenses come from outside three-pointers, and secondly, his physical shortcomings have already destined him to be unlikely to become a very good defender. .

When Nene heard Anthony's shout, he also immediately concentrated. This reminder came very timely. If he really commits two fouls at the beginning of the game, he will really be on the bench.

Anthony and Nene sent a message across the air, and the players on the field basically heard it. Duncan, who was holding the ball at this moment, naturally heard it too, but his face didn't change at all, or his expression didn't change at all. The ball began to play singles against Nene.

Duncan's shoulders are very broad and stable, which is also the basis of his offensive skills. However, Nene is not a vegetarian. He is known for his explosive body and beast style of play. Naturally, Duncan will not be able to score inside so easily. , So I also made every effort to withstand Duncan.

Duncan hit it twice and felt that he couldn't move anymore, but he didn't look surprised. You must know that Duncan can gain a foothold in the NBA, contribute 20 plus 10 statistics all the year round, and even win the finals MVP. It's his body, but his technique, so the moment Nene resisted him with all his might, he was actually happier.

Duncan held the ball and continued to hit Neiqian twice, then turned around suddenly, and made a hook shot with his left hand.

After Nene heard Anthony's reminder, in addition to resisting Duncan with all his strength, his eyes were also watching his movements all the time, so as not to be easily fooled. You must know that Duncan's status and skills are already as pure as fire, so do something Feinting is still very simple.

So when Duncan turned around, Nene did not make a defensive move, but adjusted his center of gravity to the left to prevent Duncan from making a direct three-step layup.

Just when Nei Nei thought that Duncan's move was a feint, or even a feint if it wasn't a feint, Duncan flicked his wrist, and the hook that looked very much like a fake turned into a direct False is real, with a light hook, the ball flew out of his hand and flew towards the basket.

"boom!"

The ball hits the backboard and bounces into the hoop.

Duncan's signature action, hitting the hook and scoring.

After Duncan scored the goal, he didn't show any expression. He just turned around and ran back, leaving Nene with an angry face, chattering endlessly and didn't know what he was talking about.

Anthony watched Duncan score one so easily, and his heart tightened. Originally, he had expected that he would really play against the Spurs. Although Brand could not be said to be oppressive against Duncan, at this time Brand, and It is still possible for Duncan to fight evenly, or to be evenly matched. Coupled with his performance, the odds of winning this game are still very high.

It's just that Brand's accidental injury disrupted everyone's layout, and Duncan's ball at this moment shows the gap in the internal strength of the two teams.

The commentator who explained this game is a well-known commentator from TNT. He served as the head coach of the first-year team in the previous Rookie Challenge, and even once caused fans to question the coach selection rules. Team star Alex Ingrash.

"Today is not very good news for the Nuggets. After losing Brand, their interior defense suddenly returned to the level of last season. Alex, do you think so?" Collins Seeing Duncan's ease and ease when playing singles against Nene, he couldn't help but speak.

Listening to Collins' unceremonious evaluation, as a former star of the Nuggets, Ingrash didn't feel particularly good in his heart, but in this kind of public occasion, he would not show his emotions. Collins regarded the latter as a commentator with personality, and said with a smile: "Duncan is a future Hall of Fame player. It will be very difficult for anyone to defend him. I think for Brand, it will definitely be the same for Duncan. Something that gave him a headache."

Ingrash's words were relatively smooth. He neither questioned Collins' words nor belittled the Nuggets. He deserves to be a veteran of the league.

"Oh, is it? But I want to see how Melo will perform. You must know that he is a super talent who won the MVP as a rookie, but I don't know if this super talent is just a regular season player?" Collins Continue to say with a smile.

Regular season players, which have a certain irony in the league, refer to those players who performed well in the regular season, but repeatedly performed poorly in the playoffs.

Ingrash's complexion became a little ugly. Although he is no longer playing for the Nuggets, he spent his peak period with the Nuggets, and most of the honors were obtained from here. For the Nuggets The feelings of the team are very deep, especially Anthony, this rising star let him see the hope of the Nuggets rising, so he said unceremoniously at the moment: "Melo is an outstanding kid, he must Will save the Nuggets."

"Oh, is it?" Collins said meaningfully, "Let's see how much strength he can display..."

Ingrash didn't speak anymore, but he was obviously not very happy. He didn't understand how Collins, a famous basketball star, had such deep resentment towards the Nuggets.

In fact, what Ingrash didn't know was that during the rookie challenge, Anthony let him be booed by the audience, and on such a big occasion, you must know that he was still the head coach of the Wizards last season. Such an embarrassment, how could he be balanced in his heart.

When Collins saw that Ingrash stopped talking, he also turned his attention to the court. At this time, the Nuggets' attack failed again. The Spurs' defense was very targeted, that is, they kept putting pressure on the outside. Double-team Anthony.

The tactics are simple, but the effect is obvious. Although Mutombo's defensive skills are still there, but after all, he is getting older, and the offensive power of the inside line has been greatly reduced. Moreover, Nene's current skills are relatively rough. There is no outside line to restrain him. The offensive power of the team seemed very weak, which made them even more unscrupulous. In this round, the ball did not reach Anthony's hands in the end.

The Nuggets didn't gain anything on the offensive end. Looking back, the Spurs directly lobbed the ball to Duncan. After tasting the sweetness once, the Spurs are obviously going to "kill you while you are sick" , As long as Nene is laid down, the relatively weak inside line of the Nuggets will become even weaker.

Anthony saw the Spurs lob the ball to Duncan again, he hesitated for a moment, leaving some thoughts there.

After Duncan held the ball, he immediately started backing Nene. To say that Duncan's low-post skills are quite pure, Brand is already good enough, but compared with him, he is still a bit inferior.

Duncan turned his back solidly, and every time Nene couldn't tell what his next move was, the two of them went back and forth like this. Duncan soon reached the vicinity of the three-second zone, and he tried to When he was about to turn around again, Nene suddenly pushed forward with all his strength.

"Don't foul!" Anthony has been paying attention to Nene's direction, and when he sees that Nene intends to attack, he immediately reminds him.

Nene suddenly withdrew his hand, and Duncan turned around and squeezed towards the basket.

But to say that Nene is really strong and has a quick reaction. After being passed by Duncan, he immediately took a big stride and stood in front of Duncan again.

After Duncan turned around, he was going to lick Lan to score, but he didn't expect Nene to kill him again. Although he was a little surprised in his heart, he didn't show it on his face. He then turned around again and made a direct throw.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, the ball hit the backboard again, and then bounced into the net pocket.

Duncan, once again scored easily.
