As soon as the Nuggets gained a little advantage, they were stunned by the "Cheng Biting Gold" three-board axe that was killed halfway.

The arena was suddenly much quieter. Not only the Nuggets players, but also the fans had a hard time accepting this situation, the Bobcats casually replaced a fringe man and actually scored consecutive points.

The Nuggets passed the ball to Nene in the low post, who singled Bagnani to turn and hook a shot that missed, and the Nuggets' offense missed several times, and Hayes protected the backcourt rebound.

The Bobcats fell into a positional battle again, Nene did not dare to relax his defense against Bagnani this time, and defended it, Hayes pulled up to the high post to get the ball, borrowed his teammates to cover and shook off Kenyon Martin, and hit a pull-up jump shot. 43 to 38.

The Bobcats went on an 11-0 run and Nuggets head coach George Karl called a timeout. He had to make adjustments to his team's defensive formation.

Magic Johnson and Joan Barry were also surprised by Anthony Morrow's performance.

Johnson laughed: "I said earlier that the Bobcats shouldn't replace veteran Mike Miller and maintain their outside attack. I didn't expect this Moro they changed into a secret weapon! ”

Joan Barry flipped through the player profile and said: "Anthony Morrow, selected by the Bobcats at No. 59 in the second round, signed a four-year contract with the Bobcats, three of which are guaranteed. The rookie was not favored at all before the draft and did not play in Summer League. But looking at the performance in these rounds, he doesn't look like a second-round rookie at all, to like Miller, and it's Reggie Miller! ”

Johnson smiled: "The Nuggets were originally inside with Hayes, and now the Bobcats are all five pitchers, all of whom are pulled out to play, and they have to change their defense." ”

George Karl is starting to have a headache for the team's defense. The Bobcats gave up on the inside offense, so Martin and Nene had to follow the defense, otherwise the Bobcats would have opened a few passes to get open shots. In the first quarter, the Bobcats actually had a lot of chances, but the players didn't shoot accurately enough, so Lopez only played more than 4 minutes today. And the new Anthony Morrow feels scary with a good hand.

Once some role players find their touch, even if they have defense in front of them, they can shoot correctly and be comparable to stars. J.R. Smith is that type of player, and George Karl knows that very well, so Morrow has to be targeted.

"Defenders are marking, Kenyon [Martin] and you're going to read to defend Hayes. Nene followed the defense of Bagnani, and the defense went out. Others should also keep an eye on their defenders and stop letting them get open shots from the outside. Andre (Miller) down, Gilbert (Arenas) up, looking for opportunities on the outside. Kenyon to cover high position, Cameron (Anthony) main attack! ”

Although the Bobcats only led by 5 points, they had already played with momentum. In this case, it is difficult for the opponent to defend their attack.

D'Antoni said: "It was a good fight. Next, they definitely don't dare to pinch Chuck inside. Chuck you want to step up your offense, and as for whether it's in the low post or the high post, it's up to you. The other players are running on the outside, pulling away, shooting when they get the chance, especially Kevin (Durant) and Anthony (Morrow), and you two have to be bold. Kevin follows up with Anthony when defending, you have to be tougher defensively, don't let him throw you off and catch the ball easily! If an interior player pulls up to high cover, Chuck pays attention to the defense. Kevin left Martin and Chuck together with Anthony. Martin's scoring ability is average. ”

"Understood." Durant smiled innocently.

Durant has improved on the defensive end, and Hayes remembers the Thunder's Durant who was barely defensive in the first two seasons, and now he is aggressive. It had to do with a year of stimulation at the Trail Blazers and the tuning of Van Gundy.

The game resumes. The Bobcats didn't make any substitutions, and the Nuggets replaced Arenas.

The Nuggets attacked, and Durant spread his arms and entangled Anthony. It takes a lot of physical strength to keep pressing the defense, but there are many people playing the Bobcats, and the players don't need to worry about the distribution of physical strength, if they are bored, their teammates will be on top, so Durant always takes out all his strength to defend as soon as he gets on the court, and the two are very close, giving people a feeling that you are the wind and I am the sand, lingering to the end of the world. (Crazy, huh?) Only Erkang would be so defensive! Anthony has more power than Durant, but no speed advantage. Without his teammates to cover, it was difficult for him to get out of the defense. Durant's arms are particularly long, and it is easy to be broken if the ball is not passed well.

Martin screened Anthony off the ball, and Anthony ran outside to shake off Durant and receive the basketball. Hayes immediately followed. Anthony's shooting is also accurate, but he can't catch the ball like Hayes and immediately turn and shoot backwards, which makes it difficult for him to ensure a shooting percentage, and when he turns around with the ball, Hayes has already defended in front of him, raising his hand and almost slapping the ball down. Anthony barely managed to hold the ball and dribble through under Hayes' pressure.

Anthony has gone head-to-head with Hayes on the Dream 8 team, and the two are evenly matched, but there is not that much room for him to show his individual ability in the game. Durant quickly bypassed Martin and joined Hayes in a flanking attack on Anthony. Anthony passes the ball back to high Martin.

Martin hesitated after receiving the ball, but still made his own solid jump shot, and the ball was deflected. But there was still Nene under the basket, and he beat Bagnani and dunked the ball into the basket! 43 to 40.

"It doesn't matter. Reward them with your three-pointers. Hayes said to Bagnani and ran towards the Nuggets halfcourt.

This time, the Nuggets didn't dare to take a trap on Hayes, Hayes first borrowed Durant's cover to run out of the three-point line, received a pass from Billups, and then borrowed Bagnarni's cover to shake off Anthony who changed the defense, and burst into the interior from the left side, the interior defense was a little slower, Hayes accelerated through the defense with the ball, the basket was empty, and Hayes dunked the basketball with both hands! 45 to 40.

The Nuggets' offense was in trouble, and Anthony paused with the ball before being caught by Durant and Hayes. This time, Anthony opted for a pull-up jumper in front of Durant's pack, and Hayes couldn't cover him, but managed to interfere with the shot and the ball was deflected.

Bagnani stuck in position with all his might, blocking Nene. When he first moved to the Bobcats last season, the team valued him and immediately put him in place of Biedrins in the starting lineup, but this season, the Bobcats brought in center Camby, who had won the Defensive Player of the Year award. Two promising interior rookies were also selected. Bagnani's position in the team is becoming more and more awkward. He knows his weaknesses and has to be able to grab rebounds if he wants to return to the starting lineup again!

At this time, Bagnani's rebounding** exploded and successfully won the backcourt rebound.

Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Hayes used the same tactic to pull the ball on the outside to receive the ball, and then relied on Bagnani's cover to break inside.

'Don't be if I don't exist. I'm going to have to guard against you this time. Nene was very focused and quick, and he managed to block Hayes's breakaway. But Hayes stopped and threw the ball into the air with both hands.

The Nuggets were a mess of defense after two pick-and-rolls from the Bobcats. Durant cut inside at some point, and Martin chased after him, but he was a step slower. Durant received a pass from Hayes and hit a dunk with both hands! 47 to 40.

Anthony was heavily guarded by the Bobcats, and Arenas did not pass the ball to Anthony this time, but chose to go it alone. He dribbled under his hip at the top of the arc and made a jumper shot. His physical fitness is already better than Billups, the starting height of the dry pull is very high, Billups can't cover it, and the 3-pointer scores! 47 to 43.

The Bobcats countered, Billups dribbled across half court and handed the ball to Hayes on the outside. Then the Bobcats players ran to four corners of the three-point line, leaving Hayes to play one-on-one with Martin at the top of the arc, ready to use the simplest of individual star abilities to solve the problem.

Hayes holds the ball in his right hand and takes a step with his left foot. The crotch dribbles to the left hand, the center of gravity moves slightly forward, Martin's center of gravity attracted by Hayes moves to the right, Hayes pulls the ball back with his left hand, changes to the pass, breaks through Martin from the right, and makes a quick stop jump shot. 49 to 43.

Nuggets sent a baseline ball, Arenas dribbled the ball to the three-point line, Anthony took advantage of Martin's off-ball cover to run to the right outside line to receive the ball, Arenas glanced at Anthony, took the ball with both hands and stretched it to the right, but did not pass the ball out. The ball shook Billups and shook Anthony as well. Arenas pulls a 3-point jumper from the outside, and the ball goes in again! 49 to 46.

Billups sighed softly. When Arenas finds his touch, it's very difficult to defend.

Arenas is not a genius. He didn't start touching basketball until he was 11 years old, and he used to dribble to his feet, and he couldn't shoot in the open position, and it is no accident that so many people denied his basketball level judging from his talent. And then everyone was shocked, and Arenas worked hard to reach his current superstar status. While his teammates were shopping on the streets, Arenas drilled into a special hypoxic tent to train; After a hard match, Arenas went to find a place to train as soon as possible, and it was common for him to practice alone until the early hours of the morning; What will he do at the end of the season? Or training. His physical training is not at the NBA level, but according to the standards of the active field army, and practicing weight-bearing mountain climbing and running all day is his summer job. He's one of the hardest training players in the league, so Arenas can still play the full game in a high-pitched game. It is said that Arenas trains enough hypoxic for a week to climb Mount Everest once. In China, a CBA shooter practices 500 shots a day, even if it is very hard. And Arenas has to practice 500 times a day for three points, and that's just an appetizer.

Because of hard work. Arenas can score a lot of difficult goals, and he doesn't care if there's someone defending in front of him!

However, it will be difficult for the Nuggets to catch up with the score because the Bobcats also have a strongman. Hayes received the ball on the outside, and this time Martin went to defend Durant and Anthony defended it. The players continued to pull away and create singles opportunities for Hayes.

Martin is not good at breaking through, and although Anthony is usually loose defensively, he is also very good when he gets serious.

Hayes took a tentative step with his left foot, Anthony was unmoved, Hayes withdrew with his left foot, left hand off the ball and dribbled down the right side. Anthony quickly shifted his center of gravity to the left and wanted to follow Hayes, Hayes gently pulled the ball back with his right hand, turned the ball to the left and passed Anthony, Anthony wanted to forcibly change his center of gravity to chase the hat, but sat on the ground. Hayes took two steps to take the ball with his right hand and jumped, Martin made up the defense, Durant's position was empty, but Hayes did not pass the ball, shrank in the air, pulled the ball back with his right hand and handed it to the left-handed lever to score the basketball! 51 to 46.

The game turned into a game where the stars of both sides took turns to score points!
