Chapter 82: Anthony without a solution

On the offensive end, Anthony is unsolvable.

On the offensive end, he can rely on his height, weight, explosiveness, etc., to play like a big forward in the paint area, or dunk or throw or small hook, and he has a variety of scoring means under the basket.

His ability to attack with the ball on both wings is also unmatched, and with the deceptive nature of his tentative step, he has three options here, either shooting himself, passing, or dribbling, and this varied offensive pattern is often a nightmare for defenders.

David Lee, who won the championship with the Warriors in June, once said of Anthony, "When he's in a three-threat position and receives the ball 15 feet from the basket, I don't think there's anyone in the league who is more lethal than him." ”

Kobe Bryant once said: "I've had particularly difficult players in my career to get my hands on Iverson, Anthony, Durant. ”

Anthony's countless offenses started with probing, and his probing was simply unguardable.

"You can't stop him from probing at a small angle." Michael Beasley commented.

Sometimes Anthony uses the probe as the first step to attack the basket, and sometimes he just uses it to test defenders.

When Anthony was with the Nuggets, the team's assistant coach, Larry Magino, said of his tentative step, "If he gets space, he'll shoot,"

"But if he steps back and you follow, he's going to dribble to the basket. It's a series of moves and combinations. He is well-rounded and can be used as a pivot foot on both feet. ”

In today's league, there are fewer and fewer people who have mastered the back-to-body technique, and Anthony, like Kobe, is the only remaining back-to-back master.

The name of the kaleidoscope of the attack is well deserved!

And when such a player launches a surge, it will bring unimaginable disasters to the opponent.

Even though Byron Scott tried to interrupt his outburst with a timeout, it proved to be of little use.

After the timeout, Anthony hit Nick Young with his back in the low post, relying on tonnage and height to eat, but Nick Young was helpless.

Two more points, 18:31, the Knicks have led to 13 points!

The Lakers trailed by so many points in the first quarter, and the main problem was on the defensive end. In addition to poor defensive rebounding protection, defense at the small forward position has also become a very fatal hole.

In fact, the Lakers' offense is not bad, and the shooting rate is also qualified, but they attack less often, so they have not scored more than 20 points now.

The Lakers are in such a predicament, and a large part of the reason is also due to Yi Feng.

At the beginning of the game, in order to let his teammates find the feeling of the game first, he deliberately did not shoot and let his teammates attack first. But his teammates couldn't take advantage of the opportunity and hit the shot.

Then after turning back to defense, although he was able to prevent the opponent's first attack, the defensive rebound could not be held, and it was easily taken by the opponent, forming a second offense.

Basically, the Knicks attacked three times, and the Lakers attacked twice. The number of offensive rounds was suppressed, and the score naturally did not go up.

In such a situation, if the Lakers want to chase points, they must improve their offensive efficiency.

In other words, Yi Feng, who has the highest offensive efficiency in the Lakers lineup, must stand up and score.

And this is exactly the task that Scott gave to Yifeng at the time of the pause.

There are many ways to help the team win, like Chris Paul, who leads his teammates to help the team win, like the boss Kobe, who slashes a few points alone to force the rhythm to help the team win, and like LeBron James, who is both a father and a mother, and one person who does all the tasks to win.

Since Yi Feng passes the ball to his teammates and his teammates can't shoot, then let him attack with the ball himself and use the score to open up the situation!

Hibbert's bottom line serve, Yi Feng personally wanted to pass the ball and take half of the court himself.

At this moment, he realized the bitterness when Kobe Bryant led the team alone.

His teammates didn't give him a try, and Kobe Bryant only had to score desperately. Although he will always be scolded as a "cancer", he will not care.

Fortunately, Sasha Vujasic on the opposite side did not defend very well and looked aggressive, but it could not interfere with Yi Feng's attack.

This is a ball that needs to boost morale, so Yi Feng doesn't plan to simply throw a mid-range shot.

With a super-large change of direction in front of his body, he crossed Vujacic as if he were crossing the road in the early morning.

After the first step passed Vujasic, Yi Feng actually had a second acceleration, and Robin Lopez, although he had the heart to make up for the defense, but the hard injury of slow movement speed, when he encountered Yi Feng at this moment, it was simply infinitely magnified.

Yi Feng was like a gust of wind, directly passing by him.

Porzingis, who was originally moving faster, was able to block Yi Feng in advance, but as a teammate who had fought together, he knew how terrible it was for Yi Feng to rush at full speed.

He was very witty and didn't make up for it.

Since there is no defender in front of him, Yi Feng is not polite, after receiving the ball, he jumped on one foot, his head was instantly level with the basket, and he picked up a big windmill with the ball in his right hand.

Bang!!

The basketball was slammed into the basket by him.

Yi Feng's dunk was enough to enter the top five of the day, which made the hustle and bustle of Madison Garden Arena quiet.

The audience at the scene was cheering for the back-to-back scoring of Anthony, the star of the home team, and was able to beat the Los Angeles Lakers, who had been on fire recently, at home in the first quarter, which made Knicks fans rejoice.

The Knicks have been in decline for a long time, and although the team owner continues to spend huge sums of money to build the team, the team's record has never improved, and it is still a fish belly.

Since the beginning of the new season, the Knicks have only won 1 of 5 games, and both players and fans want a hearty victory to boost morale. And a hot team like the Lakers is the best target.

Because their fame is much higher than their strength, and today happens to be Kobe Bryant's rotation!

After the game started, the situation also developed as many Knicks fans expected, and the Knicks went smoothly and easily opened up a lead of more than ten points.

The home fans couldn't help but shout "Knicks" to cheer on the players.

But I didn't expect a spoiler to stand up at this time!

Easy wind!

He used a dunk that was as elegant as a flying fairy and not losing his domineering and fierce slam to make the audience shut up!

Sure enough, the people who can be touted by so much media are not vegetarians.

Many viewers have such thoughts in their hearts.

However, Yi Feng's dunk completely detonated Anthony's desire to attack.

Soon Anthony hit the basket with Nick Young and hit a layup. Hibbert's defense was simply ignored by him.

Yi Feng pursed his lips, looking very distressed to his female fans.

Anthony was the first full-fledged superstar he met on the basketball court, and the last time he met Joe Johnson, he didn't play his best for a variety of reasons.

He finally learned how terrible superstars can be.

No matter how difficult Yi Feng is, after scoring a goal, Anthony always has a way to respond.

The game turned into a two-man battle.

At this time, the pressure of Yi Feng is very high. If he can't score the next goal, then he will be inferior in this matchup; If you can't score in a row, you lose.

And if he loses, the team is not far from losing.

In order to ensure the shooting rate, Yi Feng chose a more confident breakthrough layup. But the corresponding physical exertion has also increased.

At the end of the first quarter, after scoring a whistle three-point shot from a meter outside the three-point line, Yi Feng suddenly felt the exhaustion of his whole body surging up.

I was out of breath and felt very uncomfortable.

And the 30:39 shown on the scoreboard made him feel even more powerless.

Impotence?

How long has it been since I've felt like this?

Do your best, in the battle with Anthony, cut down 12 points! The final three-pointer was scored by luck!

But what's the use of that?

There are still 9 points left in the score gap!

A white towel wrapped his head, and Yi Feng even felt tired in the depths of his soul.

He does not admit defeat and will never admit defeat, but in the face of this cruel reality, he feels powerless.

Can I defeat such a formidable enemy?

He has always been confident, but his heart began to waver.

Suddenly, he felt someone sit down next to him.

"He's amazing, isn't he?"

It was Kobe's voice.

"Well, it's amazing."

Yi Feng raised his head, a little confused in his eyes.

Bryant said in his magnetic voice: "Cameron is one of the hardest guys I've had in my career, and he can't defend on the offensive end. Against him, even if it is only a slight reduction in his shooting percentage by a few percentage points, it is a very successful defense. ”

"When he's out of shape, no one can stop him. You have to know that he is the man who once scored 33 points in a single quarter. Before Klay Thompson's 37 points in a single quarter appeared, his 33 points in a single quarter was a record in the NBA. ”

"I'm telling you this to show you that you've done a good job. You scored 12 points against him, and he only scored 8. You have overcome this terrible man. So you don't need to be frustrated at all, even if the team is still behind, even if we lose the game in the end. ”

Yi Feng's eyes reappeared clear, although he scored a few points more than Anthony because he had one more offensive opportunity and one more free throw opportunity, but no matter what, he still won in the offensive battle, didn't he?

Bryant continued: "Now you don't need to take the team's wins and losses too seriously. You're just a rookie, you just have to be yourself. ”

Of course, Yi Feng would not take Kobe's words as a demonstration of the team boss.

From this, he also realized that although he has always boasted of being sober in the face of touting, he has actually fallen into a magic barrier without knowing it.

He put himself in the position of leader of the team before tonight's game and wanted to lead everyone to victory. This is understandable, but he overestimated his heart.

When the team has been suppressed by the opponent, when he tried his best and couldn't help the team, he couldn't resist the frustration that came from nowhere.

He was deceived by his omnipotence in the previous games.

In fact, he is not omnipotent, but the opponent happens to be incompetent, making him seem omnipotent.

When he stood in front of Cameron Anthony, who was unable to attack, he finally saw that he was not truly omnipotent.
