Chapter 175: It's just a mutual explosion
In Carmelo Anthony's worldview, he can only lose to one person at the small forward position, and that is LeBron James, and he doesn't regard that as a loss, brother, where is there any such thing as losing and winning.
But in addition, he will be extra careful when the media compares him with anyone.
Especially in this game, there are many media who have listed this game as the focus of all today's games, and they all want to see how much worse the Chinese player named Yi Jianlian is compared to him!
Oh, does this need to be said?
Who am I?
I'm Carmelo Anthony!
It is the "peerless double pride" of the 03 golden generation!
Who is that guy?
A guy who has only been in the league for a few years?
Six three-pointers in the last three minutes of the Olympics?
Hehehe, I'm really going to let go of the three-point shot at that distance, I can make 12 shots in a game!
Cut, compare this guy to me?
Anthony was very disdainful in his heart, and this disdain became even stronger after seeing Yi Jianlian and opposing Yi Jianlian, and Anthony's very eye-catching scoring show from the beginning was forced out in this way.
As a result, he scored 13 points in the first quarter, beating Yi Jianlian's 7 points!
In the second quarter, due to playing time, he only scored points, but didn't Yi Jianlian also score 6 points? He still pressed Yi Jianlian to fight!
On top of that, at the end of the first half, the Nuggets outscored the Bucks by 14 points!
Both personal data and on-the-ground advantage
This is the new generation of potential small forwards you are talking about? Scold!
I prevented it from being like this!
Anthony was involved in the defense of Yi Jianlian in the second half of the second quarter, and it is natural that the credit for blocking Yi Jianlian is credited to himself.
originally thought that if he exerted another force in the second half, this game would have to enter garbage time, and he also thought about what to say after the game, but he didn't expect that the whole situation in the second half suddenly changed, and Yi Jianlian, who was sluggish in the first half, actually scored 11 points and chased the team all the way, and also surpassed the score by 1 point before the end of the third quarter.
How can this be?
This is Pepsi Arena and I'm Carmelo Anthony!
He Yi Jianlian can play miracles in other places, don't think about it here!
During the intermission after the end of the third quarter, Anthony had Gatorade in his hand, but he didn't drink a sip, and his mind was full of thoughts that the Bucks would never be allowed to win the game like this.
Chauncey Billups on the side looked at him strangely, patted him on the shoulder, and fished him out of his own world: "Relax, the game has not reached the point of exhaustion, and we are still ahead!" ”
Chauncee Billups still has a deep impact on the whole team, including Anthony, who is willing to listen to him.
Nodding, Anthony's whole tense body relaxed, and he looked down as if he realized that he had a cup of Gatorade in his hand, and drank it all, as if he had recovered his spirits: "It's enough!" ”
The fourth quarter begins.
The spectators at Pepsi Arena rang out with cheers as usual, playing for the Nuggets' players on the court!
Especially when Anthony got the ball, the cheers of the whole arena went to the next level.
Anthony is a very pure number three.
It's easy not to take the ball, and once you get the ball, it's the end of the offensive end.
Before Jordan came out, the small forward has always been the first choice for offensive finishes on the court, and it was not until after Jordan entered the league that the scoring guard gradually improved his status in offensive selection, and the "big four" at the beginning of the 21st century was a product of Jordan's influence.
Many old fans will dislike all the scoring guards in the league after the "big four", before Harden did not fully usher in the outbreak, Thompson, who was once known as the "league's No. 1 scoring guard", was actually just a shooter who couldn't even dribble!
But in fact, this is the most primitive form of the scoring guard, the scoring guard is a transliteration, and the more accurate translation should be the shooting guard, in the most primitive case, the scoring guard only needs to do two points, one is to catch the ball and shoot, and the other is to defend.
As for the so-called ball-holding singles, this is actually a job that small forwards must know.
This is well reflected in the slam dunk, the shots about Rukawa Kaede are basically scoring with the ball and after receiving the ball, he rarely passes the ball after taking the ball, because he is a small forward and Mitsui Shou generally does not hold the ball, he is more of a projection, because he is a scoring guard.
This is also the great place of Jordan, his appearance improves the status of the scoring guard at the same time, but also gives the small forward another possibility of development, under his influence Pippen has become the best second leader in the history of the league, almost one, he helped Jordan do all the work except scoring, and it is his existence that makes Jordan even greater!
It would not be wrong to say that the diversification of the league's position began during that period.
After that, "two-energy positions", "playmaking strikers", and all kinds of players appeared.
Anthony is the most traditional No. 3 position, and because of this, his first reaction after getting the ball on the offensive end is that I will finish the attack!
Triple threat pose
Anthony is arguably the best player in the league to use the triple threat position, and he can shoot and attack at will, and he can interfere with the defender's judgment to the most extent.
Yi Jianlian didn't dare to be close, but he didn't dare to put it too far.
Anthony suddenly moved, and he hurried to follow, but crashed into a human wall.
He's still waiting for someone to block it for him
"Huh!"
With the help of the human wall, Anthony scored two points from a long distance.
The difference was stretched to 4 points.
With a two-goal point difference, die-hard Nuggets fans can finally breathe a sigh of relief!
The Bucks also did not change their style of play, or Yi Jianlian did a no-ball run, asking for the ball while sensing the opportunity.
To put it bluntly, it is also a return to the most primitive way of playing small forwards!
"Phew!"
Yi Jianlian scored a basket.
The margin returned to 2 points.
Anthony continued to cross steps, leaned on Yi Jianlian to the basket, spun top, and put the ball in.
Pull up to 4 points!
Yi Jian connected with Mo Williams' pass, shot a feint outside the three-point line and shook Anthony away, and went straight to the basket to dunk and score.
Narrowed down to 2 points!
The tip of the needle is on the wheat mang.
Both teams gave all the ball to their respective aces from the start of the game.
Anthony and Yi Jianlian also put all their thoughts on how to put the ball in the basket at this time.
It is worth mentioning that Anthony's current scoring ability is obviously much better than Durant's, although the latter's 49-point game turned on the "Grim Reaper Mode", but the weak body that couldn't keep up with the confrontation was there, and the defects could be seen, and in the end, the Thunder team failed to equalize and dragged the game into overtime, also because he was covered by Yi Jianlian.
But Anthony is different, in the past few rounds of defending him, Yi Jianlian really feels that he can't prevent it!
Saying that Anthony is the best scorer in the league right now, I'm afraid few people would object
All he can do is blow each other up.
But the score difference is here, it's not like this to win!
