Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 313 Dilemma
Zone defense is the core of the Spurs' defense, and it is also their best defensive method. To break the zone defense, the best way is a three-pointer. Although the Nuggets currently have three three-pointers on the field, they are truly threatening. There are only Nash and Anthony, but because Barry is defending Anthony, the latter's movement can well limit Anthony's chances of making three-point shots, so in general, when the Spurs start using zone defense at this time, the Diggers It seems that only Nash, who is in possession of the ball, is left for the Golden Team to crack the zone defense.

Letting Nash, who is in possession of the ball, make a three-point shot is equivalent to self-defeating. Perhaps Popovich has already thought of this from the moment he replaced Barry.

After Anthony got the ball, he was double-teamed immediately. He also realized that Popovich has the title of Zhuge Popovich in China. From the time when he replaced Barry, which others thought was unbelievable, he may have been calculating. Now The most common situation is that unless the Nuggets call a timeout, they will fall into the quagmire that Popovich has already dug.

At this time, the Spurs' zone defense is about to come up, and Anthony must pass the ball to the outside line, otherwise he may be taken out.

Perhaps, there is no other choice.

At the moment when Ginobili came up to help defend, Anthony suddenly moved. He suddenly threw the ball forward unexpectedly, and then he suddenly stood up sideways, grabbing the double-team of Ginobili and Barry. Before it formed, it abruptly squeezed through the middle of the two people!Ginobili's and Barry's hands had even touched his body, but Anthony still passed between them abruptly!
Everything happened too fast. By the time the other Spurs players realized that Anthony had rushed in, he had already rushed into the three-second zone with the ball in his hands. In front of him, the Spurs' defenders could only With Nesterovic left, Anthony hardly hesitated, holding the ball, and rushed towards Nesterovic.

Nesterovic guarded the inside of the Spurs, and the Slovenian covered Anthony, but soon, he collided with Anthony, and then watched as Anthony threw the ball towards him before losing his balance. He threw it at the basket.

Anthony, from the moment he started, was all about drawing fouls.

Nesterovic had committed four or four fouls in the previous game. With more than 4 minutes left in the game, this foul was undoubtedly devastating to the Spurs.

And Anthony chose to do so at such a risk at this time. After successfully creating Nesterovic's foul, this risk proved to be absolutely worthwhile.

Nesterovic's defense was very fierce. Although Anthony had already rushed to make a shot, the body hit by the Slovenian completely lost his balance. The shot finally bounced and collapsed from the basket, but although he didn't Come on, his goal has been achieved.

Popovich saw Anthony's move on the sidelines, frowned, and then waved to let Horry play. Looking at his unhappy face, he could feel that this foul must have had a big impact on his tactical deployment. .

Anthony successfully killed the inside line of the Spurs, which surprised the Spurs' tactical deployment, but perhaps he himself did not expect that his two free throws were actually the only ones the Nuggets got in the next 5 minutes. After the Spurs replaced Horry, the veteran, the Spurs' inside line did not collapse. Tim Duncan, the future Hall of Famer and the number one power forward in history, showed his strength at the critical moment. Unparalleled dominance has cast an impenetrable net in San Antonio.

For Anthony, Popovich adopted two-man defense, one-man defense, and even four-man formation defense. Anthony's several strong attacks failed to work. In this iron net that cannot be broken, the Nuggets The team experienced the darkest 5 minutes, without scoring a single point. The direct result was that they had already tied the score, but after these 5 minutes, they were already behind by a full 12 points. With less than a minute to go, Karl looked helpless, and in the end he could only replace all the starters and give up the game.

The players of the Nuggets, including Anthony, were all black-faced. Obviously, such a loss was not what they wanted to see, and it was not something they could accept right away. In addition to the need to reflect on it, perhaps what they should realize more is the resilience of the Spurs, which they originally imagined to be terrifying.

Anthony walked to the bench, took the towel from the staff, and after taking it, wiped a lot of it on his face. Perhaps the cause of death was anger. Unexpectedly, he didn't feel any pain, he just threw it on the bench angrily after wiping, and then sat there alone, panting heavily.

Compared with Anthony, although the other Nuggets players were angry, they did not show it like Anthony. Instead, they sat on the bench and fell in love, lowering their heads and not daring to watch the game on the field.

With a "swish", Korver hit a three-pointer and chased the score to single digits, but there were only [-] seconds left in the game, and the Nuggets finally swallowed a loss at home.

At the moment when the final whistle sounded, players from both sides came to the field to hug, and then they were about to leave the field. Anthony still looked very depressed at this time. He walked over to hug him like a puppet, and didn't even notice the hug with him. Only when he felt that the other person hugged him did he not let go immediately, he was attracted to look up, and then saw a familiar face in front of him, which was also the source of his emotions.

Duncan saw Anthony's absent-minded look, and he was absent-minded when hugging him. He couldn't help but hold Anthony, and said comfortingly: "Melo, don't be too sad."

After Anthony raised his head, he heard these words. Seeing that Duncan, who usually seldom speaks, was comforting himself, Anthony was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing out loud. He really didn't know what to say. .

Duncan saw that Anthony was smiling, but not so naturally. He knew that he was not in a good mood. He could see that he originally wanted to comfort him, but he couldn't seem to say it. In the end, he stretched out his hand Patting Anthony on the shoulder, he said meaningfully: "The future is yours."

"Tim, Bobo is looking for you!"

At this moment, Ginobili in the distance suddenly yelled. After hearing the yell, Duncan turned around and walked back without saying anything.

In the same place, only Anthony was left completely stunned.

The future is yours... For Anthony, this sentence is so familiar that it cannot be more familiar. He even wondered whether this would happen, but at that moment just now, he actually heard it This sentence!
Anthony watched the back of Duncan leaving, and he didn't react until Duncan noticed his gaze and looked back at him.

"Melo, let's go..."

At this moment, someone behind him patted him on the shoulder. When he turned his head, he saw Mutombo standing behind him, showing a faint and kind smile.

Although Anthony was very uncomfortable, seeing Uncle Mu's loving appearance, he felt a lot more comfortable all of a sudden. After smiling, he turned and walked towards the player tunnel with him.

The Nuggets lost the first game. This result is not too unexpected, but for the local fans, they are undoubtedly disappointed in their hearts. However, compared with the fans, the media reports put the entire Nuggets After the first game, the physical and mental pressure suffered by the Nuggets players was the greatest since entering the playoffs.

The players are under pressure. In order to relieve this pressure, what they can do is naturally throw themselves into the arena, and through endless training, let the body fatigue to relieve the psychological pressure they have suffered.

"boom!"

Brand's body slammed into Anthony's body heavily, and the huge impact force caused Anthony to take a big step back, but Anthony resisted Brand without retreating at all, and both of them were sweating profusely. Dripping, but no one was tired, the two of them honed their inside skills, and they had spent a whole morning.

"Elton, be tougher, and you will soon win Melo!" At this moment, Nene shouted loudly and walked towards the field where Anthony and Brand were.

Perhaps it was Nene's words that inspired Brand. Brand suddenly increased his strength. Anthony was caught off guard and pushed away. Brand turned around and pulled up to the basket, which was a dunk.

"Haha, Mello, did you work too much last night? Why are you so weak..." Nene laughed when he saw Anthony being pushed away by Brand.

Anthony heard what Nene said, pointed at him with his finger, but didn't say anything, Nene is such a character, he then smiled and said: "What's the matter, Nene, what makes you happy Like this?"

After the team's loss, everyone's emotions on the team are not high, including Anthony, even he doesn't want to think about it now, or try to deal with his terrible woman problem, but at the moment Nene It was really beyond Anthony's expectation to suddenly become so emotional. Something must have happened.

"Hey, this is definitely great news." Nene said with a stern look, but suddenly smiled badly, "Someone has been suspended. Guess who it is?"
