Chapter 85: Antonic Star
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Iverson threw the basketball out of the backcourt. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The whistle blew at the end of the game and the basketball was thrown out of the court without touching the hoop.
During the break, Adelman said to Wu Di: "Wu, when you get on the court, defend Anthony with all your might." Anthony didn't score in the first quarter, and after the second quarter he was going to go all out, and you had to do everything in it to stop him from scoring. ”
Wu Di nodded and did not speak.
Adelman didn't care, and then asked Maddie again, "Tracy, can you still play?"
Maddie nodded, "Of course, I didn't have to put much effort into it, and I can still play." ”
Adelman looked at Da Yao, "Then Yao, you can rest first, now we are a lot ahead." ”
Da Yao looked at the score, and the Rockets led by 6 points at 31:25, which was enough for the Nuggets to chase for a while. And looking at the trend on the court, the Nuggets may not be able to catch up, even if he goes off the court, the firepower on the court will still not decrease, and Maddie and Wu Di are enough to complete the offensive task.
Adelman adjusted the lineup, Da Yao and Alston were replaced, and Uncle Mu and Brooks were replaced. Although Brooks is also a rookie, he is still a very good player, and he also has a background in playing street ball.
Brooks may be a little worse than Alston in terms of defensive experience, but he has been replaced by Uncle Mu on the inside, and his defensive ability has also been robbed. Although Uncle Mu's ageless body has declined, his defensive skills have not decreased much, after all, he has to rely on defense to eat!
The game started again, and the Rockets had the ball.
Brooks dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and handed it to Maddy, and the Nuggets had only a few players at their disposal, and they put too much emphasis on the golden twin guns to ignore the other players.
During the regular season, Iverson played 82 games, averaging 41.8 minutes per game. It's a concept that's basically the same as being there, and of course, there's extra time in it.
Anthony played in 77 games and averaged 36.4 minutes per game, three quarters. Kenyon Martin played in 71 games, averaging 30.4 minutes per game. Camby played in 79 games, averaging 34.9 minutes per game.
These four people will occupy more than half of their time, and there are several important substitutes. J.R. Smith played in 74 games, averaging 19.2 minutes per game. Kresza played in 79 games, averaging 23.9 minutes per game. Anthony Carter played in 70 games, averaging 28 minutes per game. Nahura played in 78 games, averaging 21.3 minutes per game. Counting the time, there is basically not much playing time left for the other players, which is basically garbage time.
So the Nuggets are these eight people playing, and in terms of shooting guards, three people are in the rotation. Anthony Carter, Nahura, and J.R. Smith. Anthony Carter is too short and J.R. Smith is too poor defensively, and only Nahura can barely keep up with Maddy.
How could Maddie give up playing in such a situation? It didn't take much effort to play these three players at all, and with one step, Maddy threw Nahura away, and then rushed into the Nuggets' interior line, lust and desire. Once Camby came over to make up for the defense, Maddie dunked Uncle Mu, and Uncle Mu's dunk skills were still very good.
How could the Nuggets let the Rockets score alone? Anthony held back for a while, and this one he was going to be very powerful. came up and threw a three-pointer at Wu Di, Anthony felt that the shot was very smooth, and the ball basically went in.
But as soon as the ball left his hand, he saw a large hand fan it, and smashed it into his face with the ball in danger. Anthony closed his eyes, but the pain did not come, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that it had just stopped in front of him.
Fortunately, Anthony breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the basketball again, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth in his heart. The ball didn't even touch the basket and fell directly into Scola's arms.
Anthony stunned? He didn't expect that the ball he threw at such a high angle was really covered, this is indeed a block, although it is a little edged, but this is indeed a block.
However, Anthony did not lose his fighting spirit, and everyone has a time to be covered. He hurriedly returned to the defense, because Wu Di had already made a quick attack.
Scola's pass was still very good, and Wu Di passed the ball when he shook off Anthony. Wu Di rushed forward, Anthony quickly chased after him, and finally stopped Wu Di when he was at the three-point line.
Wu Di stopped, but the ball flew out and was thrown out by Wu Di. A figure rushed to the basket, jumped up, caught the ball and dunked it into the basket.
Empty connection! And the person who dunked was Maddie! Mcgrady! Rockets fans cheered up, they hadn't seen Maddie play so passionately in a long time, and they were thrilled.
Anthony faced Wu Di again, he was more cautious, although he felt very good, but the guy in front of him relied on his physical fitness to prevent him from being so uncomfortable? Could it be that this guy really burst out of defense today?
Anthony has basically tried all the conventional methods, but it doesn't work at all in front of Wu Di. So Anthony chose one of the hardest ways to score and the pull-up jumper!
The most difficult thing to defend about the pull-up jump shot is its suddenness, which was originally designed and created by the Orientals who couldn't find a chance. Anthony is also very good at this kind of shooting, but the accuracy is much lower.
After Anthony changed his strategy, Wu Di really couldn't defend so tightly. often let Anthony shoot well, but Wu Di still has to save, he can be on the court, completely rely on Anthony's defense, if he can't defend Anthony, Adelman will definitely replace Battier.
Almost, Wu Di shook his head with some regret, this time he almost covered the ball again. But when Anthony shot, he deliberately raised the angle of shot, making Wu Di do useless work.
"Bang!"
Anthony shook his head, he didn't often contact him with such a high angle of shot, and he was a little unsure of the crosshairs.
Anthony was a little annoyed that he had made four shots in five minutes and only went in one. He's a superstar, how can he be guarded by a rookie?
The second official timeout, the two teams adjusted their lineups, and Anthony still did not come off the field. The Rockets brought on Da Yao, Landry, and Battier, replaced Uncle Mu, Scola and Maddy, and let Wu Di play the No. 2 position, but still defended Anthony.
Anthony continued to attack, and although he had a lot of chances with his pull-up jumper, his shooting percentage was really worrying. By the end of the second quarter, he was shooting just 14 percent from the field, a new low.
When Anthony's shooting percentage came out, Rockets fans couldn't help but shout: "I'm big Wu Di, I'm simply Anthony's nemesis."
"Received a new nickname: Antonic Star, with 24,731 recognitions."
But is Wu Di really Antonic Star? Anthony didn't say a word after returning to the locker room, and decided to give Wu Di a good look.
