The climax of the game came abruptly in the third quarter, before that, the Nuggets had completed the overtake, in order to open the offensive situation, the Big Apple had to rely on its own personal ability to open the way, two consecutive shots not only stabilized the situation for the Knicks, but more surprisingly, the Big Apple's goal finally caused Melon to counterattack.

As one of the most well-rounded offensive masters in the league, Melon can't accept someone cutting his head uncontrollably, even if he has a good personal relationship, but Anthony doesn't intend to achieve Li Chen, he chooses a bullfight-like battle of one ball for one ball.

Melon catches the ball on both wings, and the tentative pace makes Li Chen very difficult, and he is familiar with Melon offensive habits, and he knows very well that Anthony, who catches the ball on both wings, has countless ways to solve himself.

"Anthony is back in his most iconic triple threat pose!" On the TV, the commentator is introducing the situation on the court to the audience, "The melon in this position can shoot, pass, dribble and break through, and the defender will have a hard time!" ”

Beasley, a Heat forward who has learned a lot about Anthony's characteristics, once summed it up, "When he catches the ball 15 feet from the basket in a three-threat position, I don't think there's anyone in the league who is more lethal than him, not just because he has a solid mid-range shot, but also because of his height and strength, and his first move is very fast, and that's really impressive to me." ”

In some ways, Li Chen's threat with the ball on the wings is no weaker than Melon, the only thing he lacks is Melon's well-equipped arsenal, but his super shooting skills allow him to make up for his lack of offensive means. And because of that. It made him more aware of the threat that Anthony could produce.

Anthony poked out with his left foot, a habitual move he made to confuse his opponents. In basketball, countless offenses start with a simple step. And Anthony's probing is simply unguardable, especially his small-angle probe, which the defenders simply can't deal with.

Li Chen took a step back slightly, he was worried about Anthony's breakthrough, God knows how the melon, which can be used as a pivotal foot on both feet, will attack, Li Chen didn't dare to be careless.

Anthony retracted his steps, and Li Chen followed in turn. It was at this moment that Melon launched an attack, and the extremely fast first step made Li Chen lose his advantageous position before he could react. Melon dribbles and makes a layup.

After the goal, Anthony turned around with a slight smile, leaving only the back of No. 7 to the Knicks, and the fans at the scene were suddenly stimulated by the melon's handsome behavior, and many female fans immediately indulged in the deadly smile of their idol.

There is no doubt about it. Li Chen will not accept the ridicule of fans. The basketball in his hand represents his determination, and those who know the Big Apple know that he will get himself back on the court in this attack.

Also receiving the ball on the flank, Anthony faced the same situation as Li Chen just now, and what was even more infuriating was that the big apple also poked out a step, which was simply Chi Guoguo's plagiarism.

Li Chen smiled slightly, and Anthony's tangled face made him very satisfied. Different from the opponent's plan just now. Li Chen did not retract his steps, and the space given by Anthony was enough for him to complete a shot. And he did.

The big apple with a very bright smile made the Denver people feel an indescribably disgusting feeling, although I have to admit that this guy is very charming, but from the perspective of Denver, the fans do not accept such a result. They longed for Anthony to teach the thick-skinned New Yorker another profound lesson.

The melon who broke into the inside line from the bottom line did not jump shot directly, against Li Chen's defense, Anthony flew sideways to the basket, and Chandler's supplementary defense forced the melon to dodge, but it was precisely because of the dodge that his goal was more exciting.

The eyes of the fans widened as he dodged the block, and Anthony flew straight from one side of the basket to the other in order to dodge the block, and his flashy hand movements made his goal subtly scary.

The melon raised the corners of his mouth defiantly at Li Chen, he meant to say, can you do such an action?

Of course it can't be done, the imitation just now is just a whim, and someone who is very self-aware will naturally not stupidly copy it all, but although he can't do the difficult action of melon, he also has his own special way of scoring goals, and his increasingly rich game experience has taught him a lot from others.

A cross-step squeezed into the Nuggets' defensive circle, Li Chen strode towards the basket, and Martin pulled over in time to make up for the defense.

Suddenly, Li Chen grabbed the ball with one hand and stretched it behind him, and Hughes, who followed up on the other side, made Big Apple's action very deceptive, and he didn't have time to think about it at all, under the guidance of intuition, Martin's center of gravity naturally tilted to the other side.

The Big Apple didn't pass the ball out, and the basketball kept sticking to the palm of his hand. Of course, passing to Hughes can also get a good opportunity, but then it is not handsome enough, since it is not handsome enough, it is not his style.

Li Chen, who found that the opponent's center of gravity was offset, decisively pulled the ball back from behind him, such an action instantly made Martin desperate, he didn't expect that the Big Apple could play this signature attack of the Green Army defenders so skillfully, and now he finally realized it, but it had no effect.

After grabbing the ball, he dunked directly into the basket, Li Chen's choice was slightly different from the original author Rondo's pull-up layup, not that he didn't want to go to the basket, but it was obvious that the shooting rate of the dunk was obviously much higher than that of the layup, and he didn't want an accident at the last moment.

And it has to be mentioned that the reason why Rondo chose to go to the basket was entirely because of his lack of physical confrontation, but Li Chen did not have these concerns, and his strength exceeded that of most interior players, allowing him to completely ignore Martin's presence and dunk the ball into the basket.

2-to-2! The two opposing pairs did not immediately decide the winner, and this situation also matched the pre-match wishes of the fans. There's never enough going on to go head-to-head with two scoring maniacs.

Anthony, who was determined to compete with Li Chen, got the ball again, although this had a tendency to drag the game into a bullfight. But considering Melon's hit rate, Billups didn't stop his teammates' desire to perform, not to mention. He was also a little curious about which of the two was stronger, Li Chen and Anthony.

The cross-step, which was obviously one grade higher than Li Chen, was very domineering in the melon, and he quickly caught the mistake in the defense of the big apple. The feints of shaking his shoulders and head made Li Chen misjudge, and Anthony immediately crossed to the opposite side, and then the powerful explosive power allowed him to get rid of the defense in an instant.

The mid-range jumper is one of Anthony's main scoring tools, especially at the front of the basket, where he shoots at an impressive percentage. The basketball crashed headlong into the basket, leaving no chance for a rebound.

The melon temporarily took the lead, and Li Chen quickly responded.

The Big Apple, with the ball on his back, is definitely one of the most dangerous men in the league. Melon tried to use his superior physicality to keep Li Chen out of the penalty area. However, the power from the other party also surprised Anthony a little, Li Chen's strength was no less than him.

Compared to the last time the two met, Big Apple's physical fitness is simply more than a little bit stronger, if it weren't for the fact that he was a defender. Anthony doesn't think he has what it takes to completely overpower the Big Apple.

gritted his teeth and resisted Li Chen's confrontation. Anthony could barely hold his position, and he only had five seconds to carry his back anyway, and he didn't think Big Apple would be able to find a shot in five seconds. But it turns out that he still despises Li Chen a little, and it may be said that he has not considered it comprehensively enough.

In the face of Melon's close defense, Big Apple, which had no advantage in strength, did not force an attack, and after a hard push, he took a step back with the help of the power of the reverse thrust. Step-back jumper shots instantly.

Swish! The textbook posture brought a stable hit rate, and Li Chen once again turned the situation around.

The battle for the top of the scoring list doesn't end there. In the next offense, the two of them always attacked each other's baskets back and forth, and the basket, which was very arrogant in the past, seems to have changed its personality today, whether it is Anthony's or Li Chen's, this small iron ring does not refuse to come, and swallows it all in one go.

The happiest people were undoubtedly the fans who bought the tickets, a situation they had only dreamed of, with two top stars bursting out their maximum energy in a one-on-one battle, while the basket as the target was brutally bombarded for the first time in history.

Anthony hit a strong inside shot, the Big Apple hit a three-point shot from the outside, and the fans couldn't tell who was responding to the ball, and they were completely immersed in the feeling of scoring a goal.

David Lee was unwilling to be reduced to a supporting role, and the big hat blocked Anthony's jump shot from 17 feet away, but Melon was ashamed and brave, grabbed the offensive rebound himself, and successfully played a 2+1.

Li Chen missed, but he put the ball into the basket again through his own basket. In this round, the two super forwards showed everyone the same excellent rebounding and secondary offensive ability, and their tacit understanding even made some people suspect that the two were colluding to shoot well.

Anthony hit a jumper from 12 feet to give the Nuggets a four-point lead.

Li Chen received an assist from Curry at 45 degrees on the right side, and hit a shot from outside the three-point line, 77:78, and the point difference was already negligible.

Anthony broke inside and caused Hughes to foul and make one of two free throws.

Li Chen's left wing hook in the paint area smashed the board, and the score was tied.

Unconsciously, while the scores of the two teams are rising alternately, the individual scores of the two male protagonists who are the core of the event are also rising.

There was no chatter from the commentary, no screams from the DJs, no shouts from the fans, and the terrible silence of the entire Pepsi Center as the whistle blew in the third quarter. Everyone looked at each other and couldn't speak, and people realized what they had just been through.

Suddenly, a word from Jeff Van Gundy broke the silence caused by the tension.

"God, this is definitely the best bullfight that happened in the NBA, yes, it's bullfighting, forget the other 8 people, the whole third quarter belongs to the big apple and the little melon." There is plenty of evidence to support Van Gundy's argument, and just looking at the data in the third quarter, it is clear that it was a bullfight.

The Nuggets scored a total of 29 points in the entire third quarter, and Melon scored 24 of them. The Knicks scored 33 points in the third quarter, while Li Chen had 29 points, only four points away from the melon's 33-point record and the big apple, and the small gap could not stop people's madness.

Regardless of who to support, the fans in the audience gave their applause in unison, and at this moment, they were just a group of ordinary basketball fans, and they were grateful for the ultimate individual battle between the Big Apple and the Melon.

In this moment, team basketball seems so vulnerable, talent, glory, faith! These factors will surely make this short period of the game an eternal memory for many people, and no one knows how much regret it will be for those who missed it, but the people who caught up are undoubtedly a group of lucky guys.

86：86！ The basket, which had been ravaged for a full quarter, finally got a respite, and the two teams were back in the same position, and for the first time, people were so looking forward to the fourth quarter, and after enjoying a full quarter of visual feast, all they needed was a satisfying ending.
