D ‘Antoni’s starting lineup this time is very different from before. Although Williams and Bell are still starting out on the perimeter, they have made great adjustments in the front line. In this game, D ‘Antony asked coval to play the starting small forward, while Anthony appeared at the power forward position for the first time in the playoffs.
Nuggets players were all taken aback after seeing this starting lineup, but combined with Anthony’s previous actions, they all knew that Anthony should give some advice.
In fact, in the Nuggets team, the players agree with Anthony more than the coach. Since Anthony suggested them, there is naturally no reason to question them.
D ‘Antoni left the dressing room after announcing the starting lineup of the game, and Anthony came out at this moment to give some encouragement to his teammates, and also exchanged some words with Wang Zhizhi, telling him that the performance of the substitute was very important in this game, and the reason why he was put on the substitute was that he hoped to lead the team to maintain the offensive firepower.
After Brand’s absence, Wang Zhizhi filled the offensive end well, but he also knew his shortcomings, and he benefited from Anthony’s words. When Anthony communicated with him, he nodded and knew that his shoulders were not light.
Anthony was relieved to see that Wang Zhizhi had not changed his mind because of the team’s status and performance. You know, players often need to make their own calculations in the league, because after all, they are free agents after the end of this season, especially Wang Zhizhi. Although it is limited, good data is the contract root. It also means that he is in a good state of mind.
Anthony finally glanced at his teammates’ faces after communicating with Wang Zhizhi, and he was relieved to see that his teammates’ faces were back to their former confident state.
Everything is ready. Anthony and his teammates will then prepare for a back-to-back battle.
Because it is the home game of the Nuggets, the commentator is still the home opener Doug? Collins and Nuggets are named Su Ying Glash.
Collins is in a very good mood at the moment. Now that the Nuggets are on the edge of the cliff, he will finally prove that he did the right thing. Anthony is not the superstar that the League hopes for.
Compared with Collins, Ying Glash’s face is not very good. After all, the famous Nuggets team was naturally excited when he saw that the Nuggets had the hope to win the championship trophy for the first time. Unfortunately, the situation seems to be very pessimistic now.
The players from both sides have arrived at the scene at the moment to warm up for the last time before the game, and the two commentators also took advantage of this time to communicate.
Collins is still the first to take the lead. "The alex Nuggets are now at the edge of the cliff, and D ‘Antoni seems a little impatient. He actually put Melo in the starting power forward position just now. What do you think of this platoon?"
English Glash glanced at Collins. He was not an idiot. He naturally recognized the schadenfreude in Collins’ words. It is the first time that he was invited to participate in the invited commentator in this playoff. It is not white in his heart that espn will ask Collins to be a commentator, but these things are beyond his decision. He also smiled and said, "Brand’s absence has caught the Nuggets off guard. They have been looking for a weapon to deal with the Spurs since the second game of the second round. I think D ‘Antony’s approach today is bold, but as the saying goes, the hero may not know this until the end of the game."
Collins suddenly felt a little interesting when he heard English Glash’s answer. "Rookie coaches also have rookie benefits. I dare to try, but I don’t know if it will really work."
"Du!"
Collins’ voice just fell off the field when the whistle rang. The home game of the Nuggets is coming.
The coach and the players mobilized for the last time before the game, and then all the starters from both sides came on stage.
The Spurs are still the same "gdp" combination as before, plus Bowen and Osterloh.
As the starters of both sides walked near the middle circle, the referee threw the ball away and the two sides officially played.
Leigh bounced the ball to the Nuggets’ half-court quickly and forcefully, and it was in coval’s hand as soon as he plucked the ball. It is said that coval made his first starting appearance. After observing a teammate, he then gave it to Williams.
The Nuggets advanced their first attack in the half-game.
Williams dribbled skillfully and steadily to the half-court and watched the Nuggets players move.
The Spurs’ defense is still the defense, and * * Vicky, after all, is experienced. After seeing the Nuggets send an array, he decisively chose the 32 defense to oppress the Nuggets’ perimeter.
Anthony and coval looked at each other, and then got the message and killed them at the two bottom corners. Almost at the same time, they practiced the tactics several times in training. At the moment, Williams pulled from the middle to the line and pulled to the free throw line to do pick and roll.
This block blocked Parker Williams’ smooth drive to the line, causing the Spurs’ defense to shrink in. The three men compressed toward Williams and blocked his route. As soon as they saw it, they were trying to make him miss the ball.
However, the Spurs still underestimated Williams’ ability. Looking at the blocked route, Williams did not know where to find a gap. An oblique straight throw ball flew directly towards Anthony as if it had hit the navigation device.
Anthony is in the bottom corner.
To say that the Spurs really deserve to be the team with the most skillful defense, when Williams gave the ball, their defensive center of gravity followed quickly and fell in the direction of Anthony. When Anthony received the ball, Bowen and Duncan had already rushed towards him from two directions, and the whole Spurs’ defensive center of gravity was compressed there.
Anthony’s first choice after receiving the ball is to make a three-pointer shot. Although the Spurs’ defense changes quickly, it is impossible to change the defensive array in an instant. Anthony still made a three-pointer shot when he received the ball, but he didn’t choose to make his own shot. He knew that the Nuggets needed the hit rate to boost their morale. After receiving the ball, he broke through from the bottom line to the line.
In this game, Vicky was happy, and the players in the Spurs’ field were also happy. You know, joint defense is a breakthrough. Anthony didn’t even choose to shoot when he had the opportunity, but he chose to play with his brain after the breakthrough.
The Spurs will naturally not miss such a great opportunity. Bowen and Duncan directly rushed to Duncan’s main defense. Bowen ruled that two people were watching to stop Anthony.
But at this moment Anthony made an incredible move. To the surprise of the Spurs, he stepped on three steps when he first entered the three-point line.
To say that nba history is beyond the three-point line, three-point basketball players are not without it, but they are all long-handed, long-legged, long-legged forwards. Anthony obviously doesn’t belong to this category. His practice has made others stunned. Duncan’s dull expression also reveals a trace of doubt
Anthony hit Bowen and Duncan on the first step of the three steps. It is impossible for him to step out of the second step. It seems that this attack will end with a mistake
Collins, who commented on the banquet, gave a smile that was hard to hide at the moment.
However, just as everyone thought that the Nuggets’ attack was about to end hastily, Anthony suddenly made another choice that surprised everyone in the middle of the game, but it was very normal to watch. He threw the ball to the left with a jerk, and a large horizontal ball flew straight from the right bottom corner to the left bottom corner.
Everything happened when the players of the Firestone Spurs were attracted by Anthony’s basket movement. Did you notice that coval had been there for more than ten seconds at the left bottom corner?
After the ball was thrown, coval jumped up to catch the ball and threw it without stopping or hesitation.
The ball flew straight to the basket position with a little spin radian in the hot eyes of the fans at the scene.
"Hey!"
"yeah!"
Crisp access to the net was accompanied by the excitement and roar of the fans at the scene, as if the flood gate had been hit, and the depression of the fans broke out in an instant.
"Haha, I knew Melo’s little move was too fake!" After seeing Anthony’s goal, British Glash couldn’t help but cry excitedly, regardless of whether a famous place should have an image. He laughed and couldn’t help but look at Collins next to him. Seeing Collins’ unhappy face, he couldn’t say how happy he was to be continued.
Chapter four hundred and twenty-two Three points of rain
After coval hit a three-pointer, he waved his fists excitedly. He didn’t expect Anthony to choose to give him the ball. After all, Anthony had a chance to shoot in the position, but after playing together for so long, he knew what Anthony chose when Anthony broke through. He was already ready.
Then it was very smooth that coval completed the first attack of the Nuggets and it was a three-pointer
