Chapter 596: Anthony's Growth and Durant's Fury

"At the start of the match, Milicic beat Camby again and successfully hit the jump ball!"

"This is Milicic's sixth consecutive jump ball win over Camby in this round!"

In previous games, Camby, who failed to jump ball, would always vent his frustration with his anger and roar.

But in this game, Camby, who lost to Milicic again, was very calm, as if he had no emotions.

The Seattle SuperSonics started their first offense of the game, and the opposing player in front of Yes also changed from Hamilton to J.R. Smith.

Looking at this incomparably familiar face, Ye Si's eyes jumped.

Although he has faced J.R. Smith many times in this series, every time he faces him, Yes's mood still can't calm down.

It should be said that the first six games wanted to suppress the urge to ravage this guy, which was indeed a very uncomfortable thing for Yes.

If he could, he would want to break him down in the first six games.

But for the sake of control of this series, Ye Si knew that he had to resist the urge to fight against J.R. Smith!

It's really unbearable!

As soon as the game started, it was up to J.R. Smith to face Yes, and George Karl on the sidelines was really nervous.

If he could, he never imagined that his coaching career would have JR Smith as a defensive sharpener.

If it weren't for Jr Smith's defensive stats and effectiveness against Yes, which was truly the best of all on the entire team, he would never have put J.R. Smith in front of Yes!

Yu Guang looked at Hamilton beside him, this is his most trusted No. 2 main defensive player!

But...... He has now lost faith in his defense.

However, using Jr Smith to defend Yes is an attempt by him to J.R. Smith to defend Yes, and if it fails, the effect is not good, and the game has just begun, and there is also the possibility of change.

Now it's up to J.R. Smith to give him the answer.

"George Karl was very bold in defending Yes in this game, and JR Smith is not a player known for defending in the NBA, even if he defended Yes well in his previous games, it takes a lot of courage to put such a player in front of Yes."

Kenny Smith said that J.R. Smith is not a player known for his defense in the league, and that really gives J.R. Smith face.

As long as you know a little bit about the NBA, you know that J.R. Smith is on the defensive end, which can be described as a colander.

Putting a player like that in front of Yes is no different than putting a bone in front of a dog and Pippen in front of Jordan.

Fans in front of the TV and the audience at the scene saw Yes and J.R. Smith facing each other almost instantly, and the basketball that had just been in Rondo's hands flew into Yes's hands.

The timing of the pass is wonderful!

In these games, Rondo has not had a very high presence in the game because of Yes receiving a lot of the ball in his hands, coupled with the lack of offensive stability.

In the previous three games won by the SuperSonics, Yes needed more possession and more points to score otherwise, it was impossible to beat the Nuggets.

Rondo, Milicic, Millsap, all starters except Durant have been greatly inhibited in their performances and actions in the previous three games.

In situations where possession and chances were stifled due to a lack of possession, Rondo was the best performer.

Although the ball is gone, Rondo, who does not stick to the ball, concentrates on over-balling, and distributes the ball to Yes's hands for the first time, may be more terrible than before.

If it weren't for Rondo's extremely timely distribution of the ball, yes would have suffered a lot of packs if he couldn't attack at the first time.

Anyone who has the ball for too long will have a problem with the bag, and it's fine to be caught by Billups and Hamilton, but it's okay to be caught by someone else......

It can be said that these invisible distribution balls of Rondo are the key to Yess being able to control the game.

After Yes received the ball from Rondo's hand, he didn't give the other Nuggets players any chance to pinch it, and when he went behind him, the huge force directly pushed JR Smith behind him back by more than two steps!

The 90 power of the Westbrook five-star card is really not enough for Hamilton, but what about J.R. Smith......

He had seen Jr Smith when he was heavier, and J.R. Smith at that time couldn't stop such a force!

If it weren't for J.R. Smith's metaphysics.

Seriously, George Carr didn't believe J.R. Smith could defend Yes.

Not just George Carr, but the whole world knows how fragile J.R. Smith's defense is.

But the level of fragility still feels incredible.

Yes's strength confrontation is very strong, and the top ten or even the top five confrontation capabilities in the entire NBA guards, but relying on JR Smith like this so easily still surprised many media reporters and viewers in front of the TV.

And what is even more unexpected is that Yes, who relied on JR Smith to drive back, jumped high and shot picturesquely, and actually hit the iron!

"This ball missed?!"

George Carr, who was already ready to cover his eyes on the sidelines, thought that he had seen it wrong.

After being leaned two steps away, J.R. Smith actually didn't interfere with Yes's shot with such a long flying pounce?!

Looking at the supersonic nine on the court who was a little annoyed after frowning, George Carr instantly changed from stunned to ecstatic.

J.R. Smith's metaphysics is true!

"No, it's not just metaphysics!"

Jr Smith's strength, defensive experience, and defensive habits are indeed not very good, but Jr Smith has very good athleticism, balance, agility, bounce, speed, etc., which can ensure that he, even if he is constantly carried away by Yes, he can reappear around Yes in time to interfere with Yes!

Of course, such interference is negligible to Yes, but at least JR Smith's defense of Yes is not air, and at least JR Smith's defense has an impact on Yes.

Although this effect is small, it just makes Yes unable to hit.

Hamilton and Billups interfered so much with Yes's defense that Yes could both hit.

Who can say what this is?

And this is metaphysics!

The Seattle SuperSonics' first offense of the game failed, Anthony protected the backcourt rebound, the Nuggets' two interior lines, Camby has not returned, and Nene is slightly sluggish.

Seeing that Yees had the first opportunity to attack on the court, the Nuggets actually needed to rely on Anthony to protect the backcourt rebounds, Kenny Smith on the sidelines shook his head.

It's so nervous!

The players on both teams were a little nervous in what was perhaps the most stressful of games.

This game, which is destined to go down in the history of the NBA, may really be a rookie peck.

If perhaps the greatest tie-break in NBA history was a rookie pecking game, then it would be hilarious.

Kenny Smith put away his speculation about the future of this game and set his sights on the court again.

The Nuggets' first offense of the game was initiated by Billups and finished by Anthony.

Due to Yes's failure to single J.R. Smith at such a good opportunity just now, Kenny Smith's success rate for the Nuggets' first offense in this game is also quite bearish.

A tough player like Yes starts the game so tightly.

It's no wonder that Anthony can be so good!

Collect the ball, turn sideways, sink shoulders, and lean back......

It's almost the same as Yes hitting JR Smith just now!

Yes just pulled J.R. Smith out of the way.

And now, it's Durant who is leaned away!

It's just that it's not the same as Yes who was interfered with by J.R. Smith and didn't hit.

In the face of Durant's turn and interference with his long arm, Anthony jumped straight and hit his first mid-range of the game!

2 to 0!

Although Durant was leaned away, he was not out of position, and with his long arms, Durant's interference with Anthony on the defensive end was successful this time.

But in the end, Anthony hit!

After hitting the shot, Anthony didn't do the same as other silent or lifeless Nuggets players, but kept roaring and applauding around.

"Melo wants to boost the morale of his teammates with his performances!"

"Melo wants to use his morale to dispel all the worries and uneasiness in the hearts of his teammates!"

"Melo wants to be the most trusted support for his teammates in the most dangerous moments!"

Looking at the figure on the TV who kept roaring and clapping, Wade in front of the TV was dumbfounded.

He had never seen anything like this in Melot.

This is the first attack of the game!

He never imagined that Melo could have such a commitment in the game, and in Wade's impression, Melo was not such a player.

Although the desperate melon after the All-Star Game shocked the world, what shocked the world was the strength of the desperate melon, and everyone saw the strength and talent that Anthony should have as long as he worked hard.

But in the face of such adversity and even desperate tenacity, desperate melon is missing.

To put it simply, Desperate Melon only proved his strength but not his will.

Right now......

"Merlot has grown ......"

In this series, Melo has also grown......

James gritted his teeth and looked at Anthony on TV, who was constantly boosting the morale of his teammates, and the look on James' face was a little ugly, Melo had grown up because of this series.

And what about him?

Now I can only sit in front of the TV and watch Merlot continue to grow!

He should have been a part of it!

Because Anthony opened with a strong single to Durant, the Denver Nuggets took the first lead of the game.

In such a high-pressure game, who can take the lead in the game has a very big psychological advantage.

Maybe Anthony's roar and applause can't arouse the Nuggets players' worries and hearts, but the leading score can definitely make them quiet and stable, and then return to normal!

It's true that the pressure is on the Nuggets right now in this game, but if the Nuggets take the lead, the pressure will soon be shifted to the SuperSonics.

The reason why this game is considered by many to be the most stressful game is because the pressure of this game is changing from moment to moment for the players on both sides.

Once again, it was the turn of the supersonic attack, and this time after Rondo advanced to the front with the ball, he was still looking for Yes.

And J.R. Smith is still closely following Yes, as long as Yes enters the three-point line without the ball, it is a pinch.

Yaes received the ball from beyond the three-point line, faced a dead J.R. Smith, and squeezed J.R. Smith away again before Billups' pinch arrived.

"Beautiful power matchup, nice step-back threes!"

"Yes hit the first three points of the game!"

"3 to 2, Seattle SuperSonics overtook the score!"

JR Smith's defense is very aggressive, the intensity of the dead stick is very high, relying on his excellent flexibility and flexibility, speed and reflexes, even if he is carried away and broken through at the first time, JR Smith believes that he can defend in place again.

This time, J.R. Smith's defense was really on point again.

But this time, Yes hit!

"The pressure is back on the Nuggets' side now!"

Kenny Smith almost finished speaking, Carmelo Anthony broke through with a large change of direction and shook off Durant, and then forced Millsap to score two points under the basket, and Anthony, who was sitting on the ground with a slap by Millsap, hit a free throw again, 5-3!

Anthony, who hit the penalty and led the team to complete the score overtake again, glanced at Millsap lightly and then set his eyes on Yes.

Very stubborn eyes!

That was to tell Yees that this game was a game that he had to give everything to protect.

Yes liked the way Anthony looked now.

After making eye contact with Anthony, Yes looked at Durant, who had been ignored by Anthony.

The expression on Durant's face now is very unhappy.

In this series, Durant's performance is indeed difficult to get Anthony's attention and respect.

Unhappy, angry, gnashing of teeth......

Yes also likes the look on Durant's face right now.

Once again, it was the turn of the Seattle SuperSonics offense, and no one was allowed to lose the opening in the most important opening game, so the Nuggets' first two offenses were all Anthony, while the Nuggets' first three offenses were all Yes.

It's just that unlike Anthony's first two offenses, the third Seattle SuperSonics offense, Yes faced JR Smith's mad dog-style defense, and hit the iron again!

Nuggets head coach George Karl on the sidelines saw that J.R. Smith successfully defended Yes for the second time in this game, and the expression on his face turned into ecstasy after being stunned!

George Karl really didn't expect J.R. Smith's defense to be so tough in this game!

I also didn't expect JR Smith to be so effective defending Yes in this game!

In the face of Yes's first three attacks, he actually defended twice!

And what makes George Karl even more excited and the Nuggets excited is that after defending the third attack of the supersonics, it was the Nuggets' turn to attack, Anthony succeeded in the first attack from the middle distance, and under Durant's close defense, he broke through twice in a row, this time in the face of Milicic, although he did not dunk successfully, he caused Milicic's foul!

Hit both penalties!

7 to 3!

"Less than two minutes into the game, the Denver Nuggets have a four-point lead on the road!"

This game is not about rookies pecking each other!

Kenny Smith felt the atmosphere of the key arena suddenly quieting down, and looked at the Nuggets players on the court who were not much energetic, but had regained their vitality under the encouragement of Anthony, and the expression on Kenny Smith's face was very shocking.

Anthony has really grown!

J.R. Smith really limits Yes!

"Yes and Nuggets, it's really dangerous!"

Kenny Smith, who recovered from the shock, was instantly excited!

And Barkley, who had been excited on his side, was completely blinded!

And at this time, the supersonic head coach on the sidelines, Nelson Sr., asked for a timeout!

"The first thing in this game is the supersonic speed!"

"This is a game that you can't afford to lose the start, and it was the SuperSonics who lost the start in the end!"
