Chapter 51: The Denver Nuggets
~
November 26, Pepsi Center Arena.
Today's Pepsi Center Arena is crowded, and tickets are basically sold out. Of course, not every game here is full, many fans and even ordinary viewers come to the scene just to watch Yang Yi, who is known as a super demon star, play, the news of the fat man has often swiped the screen in the past two days, even if you don't know which team the wasp is, you also know the fat man.
There's no way, everyone is firing him, if you don't know his name yet, it means that your news is lagging behind, big brother, and this week's sports and entertainment sections are occupied by him.
……
When entering the field, Yang Yi received a copy task from the system:
1 star: 10 assists
2 stars: 3 doubles
Three-star: Take away the match victory
Four-star: Over 52 points
Five-star: Four pairs
It seems that the strength of the Nuggets cannot be underestimated, and it is a three-star difficulty to take away the victory! The fat man shook his head secretly, today's game is difficult!
During the warm-up, Javier McGee walked over with the ball. "Hey, brother, is it true that the media is reporting it? Why don't I look like you? McGee asked with a smile on his shoulder.
At this time, Big McGee was not injured yet, and he was playing on the fly, and all kinds of hats were endless, which made people like it very much. Of course, his personality is also relatively jumpy, and he is about to fight a big battle, and he still asks this kind of question, which is enough to explain everything!
"Now that the media is reporting like crazy, can I still say that I haven't done this?" Yang Yi was a little helpless when he heard this, as if he had never done it.
"Real cow coins, brother admires, what a hero, the goddess who actually made a small schoolbag, how many league stars envy you now, do you know? Except for the mustache Harden, you the goddess of all the stars! I heard that the little schoolbag has already been ruthless, and the next time I encounter it, I will blow you up, you have to be careful! ”
……
Starting line-ups for both sides today:
The Hornets' starting five remained the same: Yang Yi, Gordon, Aminu, Anderson, Lopez
Nuggets: Andre Miller, Andre Iguodala, Wilson Chandler, Daroni Gallinari, Javier McGee
This year's Nuggets lineup is quite strong, the first brother is in the year of playing, Chandler is the outside defensive gate, McGee guards the inside, in the point guard position they have the league's top playmaker Miller, that is to have a body, to have strength, to have experience, is a difficult opponent.
Speaking of Andre Miller, he is really famous, not to mention other skills, just his face is enough to impress everyone, after all, the United States Mo Wenwei is not such a one! And this guy is a real traditional point guard, with a strong overall view, very good at controlling the rhythm, it can be said that his organization and passing dispatch throw off the fat man a few streets, even if Yang Yi integrates the top point guard consciousness! However, this year's Miller is 37 years old, and when he can't run, this is good news for fat people, and he is not afraid of Miller when he fights for physical fitness!!
Both sides jump the ball in the middle circle!
Lopez unsurprisingly lost the tee-off, and the Nuggets attacked first.
Miller held the ball to face the fat man, his eyes scrutinizing him. On the surface, Yang Yi has nothing special except for being a few laps thicker than the average player. Of course, it's not obvious that it's on the defensive right now.
As a young man, Miller was very adept at playing with his strong body, preferring to eat opponents who were not as physically good as him, and then use his speed to cut through the box. Nash, a two-time MVP winner and a generation of passing masters, was one of the targets of his bullying back then! Of course, now he is active in the point guard position at the age of 37, mainly relying on his passing and dispatching ability, and his body speed is not good or anything!
"This old guy plays slowly, how can he be the starting point guard of a team! Wait for me to try his condition! Yang Yi thought secretly in his heart. I've played more than a dozen games in the league, and this kind of experienced old guy is the first time I've encountered it, except for bullying him with his body, the fat man can't think of a way to deal with it, after all, Miller has been playing for more than ten years and is an old goblin!
As soon as he said it, Yang stepped forward to press the defense, constantly making offensive movements with his hands, trying to disrupt Miller's rhythm and make it impossible for him to easily organize the Nuggets' offensive formation.
Miller used this trick to bully opponents who were not as physically as good as him, and he was familiar with how to deal with this situation. He took a step back and threw the ball to the left where no one was.
"The old guy doesn't live up to his name, he was forced to panic like this, how can such a person be worthy of the name of the top organization master of the alliance!" Yang Yi was a little puzzled.
However, Miller laughed after passing the ball, and when he saw that the basketball was about to fly out of bounds, a big hand suddenly grabbed it back, and then easily hit the shot unmarked!
Young must have looked at it and saw that it was none other than the Nuggets' starting quarterback Andre Iguodala. It turned out that Miller was not throwing the ball around, but using the ball to guide the team's offense. Iguodala ran back away from Gordon and caught the ball that was about to go out of bounds, and finally scored easily.
The ball guides people, runs and cuts in the air, and the Nuggets' seamless coordination amazes the fat man, which the Hornets do not have at present! In addition to having a good sense of the big picture, the tacit cooperation between the players is also an important factor in success. And these are exactly what the Hornets are in short supply now, and the Wasps now score mainly on the fat man's singles, attracting the bag and then splitting the ball to become an important source of scoring!
Sigh to sigh, the game still has to go on! As soon as Yang held the ball and pushed forward, Miller Sr. knew that he couldn't stop the fat man, so he silently ran to defend Gordon, of course, this was also the decision of Nuggets head coach George Karl. Defending Yang Yi was replaced by an outside defender, Iguodala.
Iguodala is 28 years old and in his prime, he is 1.98 meters tall and weighs 95 kilograms, although the defense of the fat man is not more than enough, but he is still much stronger than the old Miller!
Looking at the first brother in front of him, Yang Yi didn't feel much, just sighed a little about the path he took. He, like his predecessor Big Brother Iverson, also started in Philadelphia and came to the Denver Plateau, he doesn't know if he and AI will end up the same!!
It's still a tank-style attack, it's still an unsolvable style of play, and Iguodala was pushed back again and again by Yang Yi. However, the strength of the first brother was not given in vain, and the crazy fitness allowed his muscles to unload the impact of the fat man well, delaying his steps into the inner line to the greatest extent.
Seeing that his back had entered the countdown in five seconds, and he was still blocked by Iguodala near the free throw line, the fat man was also a little anxious, and it was the first time he had encountered a player who could block him in terms of strength. The five-second time on his back is coming soon, and Yang Yi can't take care of it too much, he uses his back force to push the first brother away and then launches his self-created skill True and False Thunder, and he is about to shoot when he raises his hand!
The first brother saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly jumped up to cover it, but he didn't expect that this was a fat man's feint.
George Karl felt bad after seeing a brother jump, before the start of the game he talked about the fat man's mid-range shot, but he didn't expect the fierce battle to forget about it!
After seeing the first brother jump up, the fat man put the ball away, and then leaned on him and threw the ball out. The moment the ball flew out, the referee's whistle sounded.
Shooting foul!
The basketball flew out and smashed on the outside of the basket and bounced back, not hitting two plus one. But the fat man was still satisfied, and he played a foul on the defender at the beginning, and even if he missed both shots, he didn't pay attention!
However, the fat man's free throws are still much more reliable than his mid-range shots, and he hit both free throws and easily scored two points!
2:2, the two sides drew for the first time!
