Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 266 Troubled
Johnson and Brown are right, they underestimated Hinrich, the fans underestimated Hinrich, it can even be said that everyone underestimated Hinrich's ability, in this round, he showed his excellent passing vision He shared the ball with selflessness, but in the next few possessions, he showed everyone his seriously underrated defensive ability.

Wade is good at breakthroughs, strong physical fitness, coupled with unparalleled speed, so that he quickly ranks among the first-line stars in the league. It is precisely because of this that he has also become a nightmare for many defensive champions. In the confrontation between the Nuggets and the Heat, although the Nuggets have an advantage in overall strength, when defending Wade, even Bell has limited restrictions on Wade.

But in the next few rounds of the second quarter, Hinrich's defense against Wade really caught everyone's eyes, and it was even a little unbelievable. Hinrich's defense was not very aggressive. Tit for tat, but he is using his brain to defend.

Knowing that Wade is not good at breakthroughs, when Wade starts to look for a breakthrough, Hinrich will always deliberately put a distance, so that Wade has enough space to initiate a breakthrough, but when Wade gets up, He judges Wade's breakthrough route through observation, and then always appears on his breakthrough route, and the most powerful thing is that he basically does not make mistakes in judgment, coupled with his strong body that is incompatible with white people Quality, when he played against Wade, he simply did not fall behind.

So after Hinrich was replaced, Wade's offense seemed to be very struggling.

Originally, with Hinrich's single defense ability, Wade would not be so embarrassed, but Cooper's tactic in this game is to compress the space. Brand and Chandler block the inside line, and Hinrich outside the line. Blocking, the combination of the three can be said to have become an out-and-out nightmare for Wade.

The heat that dominates the Eastern Conference this season, facing the Nuggets whose coach has been fired, is extremely difficult to play, and can only rely on O'Neal's hard support inside. After playing the entire first half like this, the Heat have already fallen behind the Nuggets. The Golden team has as many as 20 points, which looks like the rhythm of the entire second half will become garbage time.

At 55:35, with a full 20-point difference, the two sides entered the intermission.

Anthony scored 16 points in the first half, plus 5 rebounds and 3 assists. It can be said that in this half, Anthony returned to the melo that fans are familiar with.

With an outstanding performance, interviews are naturally indispensable in the midfield, and the interview with Anthony is naturally in the hands of Vasquez.

Anthony looked at Vasquez approaching, and was slightly taken aback. He said that he hadn't seen Vasquez for a while, and even heard that Vasquez had resigned from his job as a reporter last time. He didn't expect to come back up.

"Hey, Lala." Before the camera was turned on, Anthony said hello. Although the Vasquez he knew was a woman who loved money, he couldn't forget the fact that they slept together for one night last time.

"Hey, Melo." Vasquez also smiled when she saw Anthony, but at the moment she had various emotions in her heart.

The interview went well, and Vasquez left the sidelines shortly after the interview.

Anthony looked at Vasquez's back, shook his head helplessly, and then followed the staff to go to the player tunnel.

It was already time for the halftime break, and all the players from both sides left the field, and the staff on the sidelines began to enter the field for a halftime performance.

At this moment, two staff members were talking quietly at the door.

"Have you heard? The reporter who interviewed just now heard that her ex-boyfriend has been bringing people to the entrance of the arena to block her some time ago?"

"I heard that because of this matter, the police have been involved, and the mediation has not been resolved several times, so she hasn't gone to work in the TV station for a long time. She used to come to our arena all the time, but now she is rarely seen. It's a pity. Yes, such a beautiful woman."

Anthony heard someone talking about Vasquez, and it had something to do with her ex-boyfriend James, and he couldn't help but stop.

The two staff members didn't notice that Anthony was standing beside them and continued talking about the previous topic.

"This reporter is a good person. Last time when the team held community activities, there was a child in a slum who was left unattended, so she stayed with him for an afternoon, and later heard that she often visited him. It was really a rare opportunity. Woman, alas, I don't know what she thinks, how she got such an ex-boyfriend..."

"Men, aren't you the same? When you want to find a woman, don't you always talk sweet words at the beginning, and only after you really get it, you still play with the woman between applause."

"Who said that, I won't! If I could have a girlfriend like that reporter, I wouldn't be like what you said!"

"Just talk about it, it's because you haven't got it yet, and men, when they have money, they immediately turn bad. We have no money, so don't think about it..."

Anthony is standing aside and listening to the chatter of the two people. These are just the chatter of the two little people before. Normally, they may not be taken into account at all, but at this moment, Anthony's mind is already full of turmoil. Like rolling up.

Vasquez, the woman he used to sleep with, the one who showed love for money, was going to save a slum kid?
Anthony suddenly recalled the scene when he and Vasquez were together. At that time, because he didn't want to get involved too much, he didn't think about other aspects at all. After all, a matter that money can solve, a woman who loves money, in his opinion , are all things that are easy to solve, but now, recalling the scene at that time, he suddenly discovered that Vasquez's last move was probably a faux pas!
Perhaps, Vasquez just didn't want him to have a psychological burden, so he made such a move!

Thinking of this, Anthony couldn't stand anymore, but he couldn't do anything, not only because he was entangled in front of Fox and Su Xi, but also because Vasquez chose to do that, maybe she already had her own I have come to my senses, if Anthony goes to pierce that layer of window paper, I don't know what will happen.

In the end, there was no way, Anthony could only put this matter aside for the time being, and wait until the game was over.

Anthony thought so in his heart, but after entering the game, the situation seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

Back in the second half, the two sides fought again in different places, but the performance of both sides exceeded everyone's expectations.

Anthony originally didn't want to be troubled by off-court factors, but when he came back from the second half, not only Vasquez was sitting on the side of the staff area, but even Su Xi came over, as if he was about to prepare for the press conference later. It is reasonable to prepare in advance for the first game after the coaching change of the Golden Team, but Anthony was naturally affected.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Anthony's state can be described as bad.

The result is that 0 may be because Anthony is too important to the Nuggets, or it may be because other players have been infected. At the beginning of the second half, the Nuggets made various mistakes. Under the leadership of O'Neal, a Jedi counterattack was launched. At this time, Korver was defending Wade. Wade's breakthrough was back on track, and the Heat seemed to have found a way to restrain the Nuggets, which was to play a defensive counterattack. Because of the decline in Anthony and the entire Nuggets offensive situation, this tactic played an unexpected role.

The two sides played the third half-knot between you and me, and the Heat even chased the score to only 8 points left.

Cooper on the sidelines finally couldn't bear it anymore and called a long timeout. After a while, Cooper yelled at the starting players of the Nuggets. The players of the Golden Team are all familiar, so they didn't give any face.

This time, Cooper even said to Anthony: "Melo, your goal is the championship, if you continue to play like shit, you can only get the lottery champion! "

Anthony bowed his head in shame. His state back in the second half was indeed very bad, and he could even be described as absent-minded. At this time, he failed to handle the relationship between his feelings and the game. He really shouldn't, so he accepted Cooper's request humbly. Criticized, and then slapped his head twice fiercely, letting the emotional things slip away from his head.

"Ervin, I think Melo's state is not right, did something happen in halftime?" Brown couldn't help turning his head and said to Johnson at this moment.

Johnson naturally didn't know what happened to Anthony, but he still maintained a supportive attitude for Anthony, and said: "I believe Melo will get back to his form soon. He is a professional player, and he played well last season He's shown his mentality to be different, and I believe in him."

Anthony heard what Johnson said at this moment, and couldn't help turning his head to look at him. When he looked at the "Magician", he unconsciously clenched his fists. He knew Johnson's support for him was consistent. Support, his performance like this is really a bit sorry for those who support him.

Thinking of this, Anthony once again made up his mind that he must prove himself again in the next game.

Soon, the time for the timeout came, and the players from both sides returned to the field.

The Heat were the first to attack. Wade still took the ball, easily broke through Nash's defense, and then threw the ball into the air.

O'Neal jumped up, grabbed the ball in the air, and pressed it hard into the basket.

"boom!"

Shark abuse frame!
