NBA: Legendary coach signs with league for 10 years

The second half of the game begins.

The Pistons have the ball.

Anthony has gradually begun to adapt to Rasheed Wallace's singles. If he defends against opponents who only attack the inside, Anthony cannot defend that kind of inside in this era.

For example, when playing against the Lakers, Wang Chen did not let Anthony play inside in a single game with O'Neal and Malone.

Because with a big center, the power forward has to bear more dirty work.

But Rasheed Wallace is a shooting-oriented power forward. Anthony can also compete with Rasheed Hu Lai with his strong body.

This time, Rasheed Wallace's turnaround jump shot was interfered by Anthony.

Sure enough, the shot missed.

After Anderson received the rebound, he passed the ball directly to Leonard next to him.

The Nuggets still continued the tactics of the first half.

However, the Pistons' defensive strategy this time has become a little different.

Prince defended Leonard alone, and even after Anderson's pick-and-roll, Prince still followed Leonard.

Prince's defensive area against shooting is very large. It is not enough to shoot in front of Prince with a little space. In addition, Prince is also very close to Leonard.

Leonard has no choice but to break through.

Leonard, who has already played well in the previous two games, is naturally not afraid. He dares to break through.

Leonard directly lowered his center of gravity and rushed into the inside.

"Oops, Leonard is going crazy."

Wang Chen frowned when he saw Leonard's move.

Prince stuck directly to Leonard's side, reducing Leonard's shooting space.

Leonard, who had already played with confidence, used a European step to layup in the face of Ben Wallace who had come to defend.

When shooting, in order to avoid Ben Wallace's defense, he also made a pull-up move.

He did this in the first two games.

With the bonus of the legendary card, these actions will become more effective, and his own attributes will be greatly enhanced.

But now Leonard is just like his usual self, a fancy move package without attributes and strength.

Ben Wallace only gave a slight interference, and he still defended Leonard's pass, but even just avoiding Ben Wallace's slight interference made Leonard's shooting action deformed.

Ding!

The basketball bounced on the basket and bounced out directly.

"Sure enough, he lost the state of the first two games."

Larry Brown clenched his fists on the sidelines.

Leonard didn't have that magical state in this game. He actually paid such a high price to defend Leonard.

The price of 15 points!

Just when Billups was about to organize an attack.

Beep!

The Nuggets called a timeout.

"As expected, he was discovered, but it doesn't matter."

Wang Chen took the opportunity to let Leonard take a break. (To read exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Leonard was in hot form in this game. Although he didn't have the threat of breakthrough, he was still very useful as a three-point shooter and a simple ball handler.

Moreover, Leonard used his breakthrough threat to create many open opportunities to make Anthony's touch hot.

With the hot Anthony, it didn't matter that Leonard didn't have the threat of breakthrough.

Back on the court.

The Nuggets' lineup: Chris (bgbd)-Anderson (C), Marcus Camby (PF), Carmelo Anthony (SF), Rodney White (SG), Andre Miller (PG).

The commentary booth also noticed the changes in the Nuggets' lineup

"Why was Leonard replaced? Although Leonard didn't score much in this game, the Pistons had messed up their defense in order to defend Leonard."

Barkley asked with some confusion.

"I don't know, but it looks like the Nuggets are going to compete with the Pistons on defense again."

"Anderson and Camby are two defensive inside players, White is also a defender, and Miller and Anthony's defense is also above average."

Kenny Smith immediately analyzed Wang Chen's intentions.

"The Nuggets were already in an advantageous position, but they suddenly adopted a turtle formation. Are they a little bit lacking in confidence?"

Johnson said with a puzzled look on his face.

Only the coaches of both teams knew the real situation on the court.

"Sure enough, he knew from the beginning that Leonard was going to...No, maybe he was already out of shape yesterday or the day before yesterday."

Larry Brown was so angry that he blew his beard.

Leonard didn't score a single goal when he lowered his defense standards against him.

Leonard didn't score a single goal, which might be a problem with his touch, but Wang Chen replaced Leonard immediately.

It proved that Leonard lost his magical state during the training game.

Larry Brown also knew this state. Even role players can have sudden highlights.

Leonard has had two consecutive highlights, and it was in the finals, which is relatively rare.

Now Wang Chen has set up the turtle formation. Isn't he just planning to rely on his old capital and focus on this 15-point advantage?

The Nuggets' turtle formation was originally no match for the Pistons' turtle formation.

But the situation is different now. Although it is a turtle formation, Anthony's touch is already hot.
