Chapter 462: Carmelo Anthony (3/6!) )
Before Anthony came to New York, Stoudemire was the owner of the arena for a short time, but after Anthony arrived, it was his team.
As a super small forward of the 03 generation, Anthony's personal strength is undoubted, but his performance in the first two games is really a bit bleak, and it is not an exaggeration to say that his personal performance led to two heavy defeats.
Now that it's his home turf, Woodson wants to wake up the man in this way.
Anthony also slapped his chest hard, although he hadn't played yet, he could clearly feel that after returning to the home court, his spirit was completely different.
"Toot!"
To the cheers of the crowd, Yao Ming and Chandler jumped the ball in midfield, and the latter turned the ball back into the half, giving the home team the first chance to attack.
Bibby dribbled the ball to the front court and handed the ball to Anthony.
Anthony received the ball, didn't wait for Green to wrap it, and didn't make any extra moves, and turned directly to the bottom line.
Butler shrink sticker.
But this ball Anthony turned very thoroughly, using his weight and strength to push Butler directly to the basket to shoot the board.
Butler was pinned down and couldn't jump at all.
"Bang!"
The ball wipes the board into the frame.
Anthony's first attack went in.
The cheers of the fans at the scene exploded immediately.
Sure enough, the "little melon" back at home is not the same as on the away side!
Tang Tian also raised his cheeks and pondered at this time, it was indeed different.
The biggest change is that it has become decisive.
This may seem like a small change, but it's actually a big deal.
Anthony's personal ability is undoubted, one-on-one, not to mention Butler in the rookie period, even the peak Butler is difficult to defend, and the Cavaliers need time to pack, Anthony is decisive, and the result may be like this round, the offense is over before the bag is in place.
The Cavaliers' offense, Paul and Yao Ming's blocking, and the Knicks' defense were very fast, and there were no good opportunities for blocking.
The ball passed to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming played a second wave of high positions.
Butler's air cut chance, Yao Ming hit the ball beautifully.
Butler takes the ball and rushes to the basket for a layup.
But just then, Stoudemire moved sideways to the basket and straightened his arms to interfere.
"Bang!"
Butler's shot against him failed to score, and the rebound was turned around by Stoudemire.
Bibby carried the ball to the front court, and Anthony fell low.
Green didn't give Anthony a chance to catch the ball this time.
Bibby threw the ball to the empty Fields, and the Cavaliers helped rotate the defense, and Battier switched the defense directly.
Fields played very smartly, a three-point shooting feint, and after deceiving Battier, he took the ball and rushed directly inside.
The Cavaliers' defense turned again, Green came directly to make up for it, and Fields split the ball in the air to Anthony.
Anthony still didn't hesitate to receive the ball, and took a step back to shoot directly from the middle distance.
Butler jumps to interfere.
"Huh!"
The ball went over Butler's fingertips and went in!
Anthony scored 4 points in a row in the opening game!
"Defend! Defend! ”
The emotions of the fans at the scene were completely aroused.
With Anthony like this, the Knicks have a chance to win tonight!
The offense led the defense, and the Cavaliers once again defended the Cavaliers' blocking, and Yao Ming's high position strategy had little chance.
Seeing that there was not much time left to attack, Yao Ming directly chose to turn around.
Stoudemire shrank quickly, and Yao Ming's hook hand in the turn made an early move.
It's not a small challenge.
"Huh!"
However, Yao Ming's hand was very soft, and he still sent the ball into the basket steadily.
The Cavaliers finally broke the opening scoring drought.
"Come on! New York! ”
Led by the live DJ, there were bursts of cheers in Madison Garden Plaza.
Tang Tian also stretched out his hand on the sidelines at this time to signal to continue to wrap Anthony in advance.
Anthony tried a few times but didn't get a chance to catch the ball, and Bibby saw it and gave the ball to Stoudemire.
Stoudemire back-to-back Battier in the low post and pressed Battier's slow three-step hook.
Yao Ming assists in the prevention of interference.
"Bang!"
The ball went out of the basket.
However, Chandler stuck in position, grabbed an offensive rebound, and threw his hand back to Bibby from the outside.
This season, the Knicks signed Chandler with a 4-year 46 million contract, and in order to sign him, the team pardoned Billups, who had just been traded, and let go of Turiaf, who performed well last season, which can be said to be a big price.
This frontcourt rebound also reflects the value of this contract.
However, the Cavaliers' defense is still solid, Anthony can't catch the ball inside, and he goes around and around, and the Knicks' 24-second offensive time is about to expire.
Seeing that the offensive time was approaching, Anthony directly gave up the inside position at this time, ran directly to the outside, and shouted to reach out for the ball when he ran.
Bibby has stopped the ball on the outside for a while, and he can only grab the ball against Paul without a chance, and when he saw Anthony come out, he passed the ball directly without half a second of hesitation.
Anthony received the ball while running, and the Knicks had only 2 seconds left in their offensive time, so he just pulled it up and threw it.
Butler jumped up to interfere, and the ball went straight to the face, an excellent defense.
But......
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, Anthony's three-point return score!
Individually, he scored 7 points in a row!
"Cameron ~ Anthony!"
Amid the shouts of the live DJs stretching their voices, the New York fans at the scene were completely high.
This is the Anthony they know!
Offensive kaleidoscope, 03 generation of small forwards with no solution to attack!
Tang Tian stood up from the bench at this time.
He foresaw a resurgence in Anthony's hand, but he didn't expect it to be so good, knowing that the two defenses behind Butler were well done.
Anthony and Maddie are a type of super scorer, and it's hard for them to find their touch, and it's hard to completely snuff out.
He turned and called old Carter up.
At this point, offense is more important than defense.
"Vince, limit Merlot's catches as much as possible." Before Carter came on the court, Tang Tian pulled Carter and admonished.
Ka nodded his head, stripped off his training clothes and ran to the technical desk.
Paul's mid-range jumper added points for the Cavaliers.
Turning around, Anthony received the ball from outside the three-point line and launched a direct breakaway, and a pull-up jumper caused a foul on Butler's beaters.
"Toot!"
A short whistle sounded from the sidelines.
Kartra pulled on his belt, pointed at Butler, and came off the bench.
Anthony smiled when he saw Carter come up, this is an old acquaintance.
Both free throws were hit.
Anthony felt hot after the opening, and he scored 9 points in a row!
The Knicks also led the Cavaliers 9-4.
For the first time since the two teams met, they had the upper hand.
"Look! Buddy! That's the beginning! Barkley, who was in the commentary seat, finally raised his eyebrows at this time, sat up straight, and shouted with his waist straight.
