Chapter 57: Anthony's Sadness

After being ** by Lehi, Anthony couldn't bear it anymore, and his calmness and tactics were put aside for the time being, and he must beat this junior brother. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the second half of the second quarter, Anthony turned on a complete offensive mode.

However, before he could play a few rounds, Lehi was substituted.

It is impossible for the starter and the sixth man of the opposing team to have a complete matchup.

At 49:44, by halftime, Anthony realized that the Nuggets had lost by eight points in the second quarter.

He didn't change his mind at this point, and the victory over Li Hai was to achieve an overwhelming advantage in terms of statistics and victory, and he must use his powerful scoring ability to turn things around in the second half.

At the beginning of the second half, the Nuggets' Anthony, Kenyon Martin, and Marcus Camby were on the inside, with Tim Thomas quickly committing four fouls and Muhammad and Kurt Thomas also being fouled.

Before Lehi was substituted, the bench inside was replaced.

But even if the Knicks' interior line was half-crippled, the Nuggets did not catch up with the score.

Crawford and Marbury are both hitting back-to-back shots, and the Nuggets' backcourt isn't too weak, but it's either too short or too slow to limit the Knicks.

When Lee Hai played, it was just when the Nuggets were going all out to fight back, so they simply replaced Boigins and came up with the strongest offensive lineup.

Facing the player with the strongest attack on the other side, Lehi had a feeling of excitement.

If he can block Anthony, it is equivalent to blocking half of the Nuggets' offensive routines, he is extremely focused, he doesn't care whose hands the ball is, he just keeps following Anthony's footsteps and doesn't let the other party relax at any time.

In addition to physical fitness and various skills, the most important thing in defense is consumption, not one or two goals, not a few minutes, but the consumption of the whole game, many times the last few minutes are the victory of the first forty minutes of strategy.

"Lee, there's no way you're going to stop me."

"Wrong, Cameron, it's you who can't stop me, stop me from helping the team win."

With a lot of singles and duels, Anthony played with a lot of determination and excitement than most of the game, but with Lehi's stubborn defense, his mid-range shooting percentage dropped a lot.

When the whistle blew, Anthony was sweating profusely, and even his breathing was a lot heavier, Lehi was so difficult to deal with, his mind felt empty, this was one of the most hated defenses he had encountered in the NBA.

Finally squeezed under the basket to get two free throws, Anthony shook his hand, and actually missed one, the confrontation just now was too intense, he adjusted a little, and hit the remaining free throw.

The Knicks served a baseline shot, Marbury missed a three-point shot at the buzzer, and the third quarter ended.

At 83:71, the Knicks had a 12-point lead, Anthony missed some shots, but the Knicks' players were better at taking their chances.

Anthony did his back and picked up the towel, feeling a little irritable.

In the third quarter, instead of chasing back the score, they fell behind even more, will they lose?

The head coach of the Nuggets saw that Anthony had consumed a lot of physical strength and planned to let him rest for two or three minutes, Anthony took the initiative to ask: "I'm not tired, please let me stay on the court, I want to win this game." ”

The two sides restarted the game, and Anthony made an aggressive comeback after halftime, taking a pass from Andre Miller and shooting a three-point shot.

Lehi was not thrown off by him, and followed up to make a tight defensive move.

Anthony was in a hurry, Lehi felt that Anthony had a lot of shooting options in this game and was a little reluctant, with his understanding of Anthony, he roughly guessed the other party's heart, but he was the opponent on the court, and he would not remind him.

Luring Anthony into forcing singles more is also an effective defensive strategy.

The three-point shot was still missed, and Anthony didn't have any three-pointers in this game, and the struggle with Lehi made the muscles too tight, and he lost some of the softness of his shot.

The moment the Knicks got the rebound, Lehi started to get down.

Anthony hesitated for half a second in the frustration of missing the shot before turning around and desperately chasing after him.

Marbury made a quick pass to Crawford, who dribbled behind his back and shook the defender to start a layup, at which point Camby had already strode back and slapped Crawford's layup onto the rebound.

Li Hai jumped high and grabbed the frontcourt rebound in his hand, Anthony rushed from behind, Li Hai took a step back, a pause made Anthony and Camby think he was going to shoot and changed the center of gravity of the defense, who knew that he immediately changed direction to the baseline after the pause, and instantly passed the two backhand cricket balls.

The wonderful action caused loud cheers from the home fans, and the Knicks' momentum has completely overwhelmed the Nuggets.

Anthony gritted his teeth and continued to open his hand to ask for the ball, he didn't shoot casually this time, but rushed to the basket with all his strength, and if the shooting rate dropped, he had to kill the inside, create lethality, and improve the success rate.

Lehi also admired Anthony's fighting spirit, but he felt that it was not the best way to win.

Just like Marbury, sometimes fighting hard makes the team less effective.

Anthony attacked again and again, and Lehi always stood in front of him, meticulously defending.

In order to use all his energy, Lehi reduced his involvement on the offensive end to ensure that he could defend energetically until the last second, which was worth it against a strong attacker like Anthony.

The referee's whistle blew again, and he committed his third foul.

Even if you do it to the extreme, there will still be things that you can't control, and that's the fun of basketball, you can't limit every attack, you can't hit every shot, and only the team that does better can win.

At the end of the day, Anthony was still trying to keep attacking.

But the difference in the score still didn't change at all, and there was no difference between the two points he spent a lot of effort and the two points he scored with easy shots.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, Anthony was still a little dazed.

At 107:96, the Knicks won the victory.

Li Haihai stepped forward and greeted: "Cameron, I look forward to the next duel with you, at that time, I will become stronger." ”

Anthony clenched his fists silently, and he had one more opponent to defeat.

He didn't think there would be a few opponents who could stand in front of him, and he thought he would have an easier time succeeding in the NBA, just like he did at Syracuse University.

The feeling of failure is sad.

As the season unfolds, NBA fans have another big event that they can enthusiastically participate in every season, and that is the All-Star voting.
