Chapter 189: Concentration

The fans booed loudly, but not for Oxlade-Chamberlain, who was playing away, but for Nene who was beaten 2+1, and the Brazilian felt that he had no face, and he took the initiative to ask for the ball when he attacked again.

Chamberlain pushed Evans away, and he went to guard Nene himself.

But the Brazilian was undaunted, holding the ball and pushing his shoulders against Chamberlain's chest, before slowly striking in rhythm. Chamberlain was like a mountain, he stood still behind Nenne, and the Brazilian hit him a few times without success, and then he immediately changed his tactics, stepped under the basket with one turn, and raised his arms to make a shooting pose.

Chamberlain immediately jumped up, and then Nene leisurely threw the ball out.

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, the ball flew off by the cap, and Chamberlain once again showed his almost perverted secondary bounce ability, the first jump was not tricked, but he jumped on purpose, and immediately landed on the ground, and then jumped up with Nene and gave him a big hat.

West grabbed the ball and wanted to break fast, but this time Iverson stuck him, the Warriors' fast break did not work, West took the ball to the front court and looked at the deployment of the interior line, and found that it was Smith who defended him, he pouted and started to rush forward.

Smith was annoyed, this was clearly looking down on him, West's breakthrough was pediatric in his opinion, he had been following the other party closely, West had no chance to shoot under his entanglement, the two were entangled all the way to the inside, and then Smith felt a chill in his crotch, and was stunned to find that the ball in West's hand was missing.

Chamberlain, who wanted to come up to cover West, saw the ball pass from Smith's crotch, he got the ball directly, turned around Camby, and faced Nene who came up to the defense, he quickly shrank his knee and jumped up.

Nene was shaken, Chamberlain stretched his body again and raised his arms high, Camby, who had been bypassed earlier, caught up in time, he sneered and jumped, and then saw the ball above his head fall again, and only then did Chamberlain rise to the ground!

"Boom!" A violent dunk, even if it is their enemy, Nuggets fans still have to applaud this offense, it is so exciting, whether it is West's crotch pass or Chamberlain's violent dunk after the two of them, these two people show the charm of basketball perfectly!

Seeing that his opponent had set off a counterattack climax, Iverson and Anthony looked at each other, and their expressions became serious. This must not be allowed to happen, and the two decided to join forces to fight back, and they wanted to strangle their opponent's counterattack in the cradle.

Iverson rushed to the front of the court at a high speed, Anthony ran out of the open space with the help of Nene cover, Iverson did not miss the ball anymore, and immediately passed the ball to Anthony in the open space.

Anthony got the ball and was about to shoot, but was stunned to find that Chamberlain, who was far away in the penalty area, suddenly appeared in front of him, and in a big startle, he quickly withdrew the ball that was ready to shoot, turned around and resisted Chamberlain with a huge buttocks, and then his body swayed from side to side irregularly, and turned around again and slid to open the distance between the two, and Anthony took a step and walked directly into the penalty area.

He had used this trick to clean up Barnes before, and this time against Chamberlain, he used it again, and it was faster and with a wider footstep.

But he still couldn't escape Chamberlain's defense, Anthony even provoked his wrist to make a high throw, but Chamberlain had already been guarding against his move, and when the ball flew up, he jumped up, followed up quickly with his big hand, and slapped the ball down.

Evans picked up the ball and passed it to Luis, West and Petrus rushed forward with him, the Warriors' trident fast break reappeared on the court, Iverson and Smith hurriedly followed, but neither of them was good at defense, Iverson was due to physical reasons, Smith was due to IQ, and Luis stuck to Iverson and then came to a NO-LOOK-PASS, easily deceived Smith and passed the ball to Petrus on the right wing.

Petrus took off with the ball and dunked, and the Warriors' offensive climax was hit.

George Karl hurriedly called a timeout, the Warriors' offensive and defensive waves were crisp, and the Nuggets lost not only the score, but also the momentum and rhythm.

Carl's timeout was in line with Nelson Sr.'s mind, he just took the opportunity to replace Billups on the court, although Luis defended Iverson very well, but he didn't help the team enough when attacking, and these attacks were successful either to catch the Nuggets off guard or rely on Chamberlain's ability, which is not what Nelson Sr. wants to see.

It just so happened that Iverson and Nene were also down, Iverson is a veteran in his Chinese New Year's Eve after all, or a defender who eats by speed, and Nene is not very well, he recently felt back pain, shortness of breath, chest pain, but checking his back and chest can not find problems.

However, this does not mean that the Nuggets' combat effectiveness has decreased, because they have added another beast on the inside, Kenyon Martin!

Kenyon Martin was the top pick in the 2000 draft, and he didn't enter the NBA draft until his senior year, which has been rare in recent years, and it's rare for a native American player to be the top pick after playing in college for so long, but it turns out that this kind of person is really not a good fit to be the top pick.

His offense is single, his skills are rough, and his main scoring means is a big dunk, and his poor jump shots and small throws can sometimes help him score points. Because of his time with Kidd on the Nets, he was also good at running fast offense, and getting along with Kidd covered up his shortcomings, and at that time his trident with Kidd and Carter was the most ornamental combination in the league.

Martin's back-to-back posture and effect are very bad, but the empty-handed running of the basket and the raid under the basket is a move that all defensive weak teams have no way to defend, the most admirable point is that he is very daring to go inside, not afraid of the confrontation of the inside, if Yi Jianlian also has his mentality, he will not worry about not being able to get along in the NBA.

He can become the champion show thanks to two aspects, one is that in 2000, it was indeed a small year in the draft, and there was really no talent; The second is to thank him for his defensive ability, he is a very tough defender, and he once had the amazing act of snatching the opponent's basketball with both hands in the air, you must know that the victim at that time was Wade.

In fact, Martin's defensive awareness is very average, he relies on an attitude, a defensive attitude that does not kill, and the opponent will suffer a lot because of his strength if he attacks head-on. His rebounding position is not bad, and as a 6-foot-9" forward, his rebounding stats are good enough.

Martin's physique, the speed of a defender, and the ability to survive in fast-break play, allow him to defend both inside big men and outside players.

Martin in his prime, often featured in the NBA's "Weekly Highlights" and is the face of the aesthetic of violence among NBA players, but due to injuries and age, Martin has lost his former courage in recent years, and he is the kind of interior player who feeds on his body, which is why George Karl put him on the bench.

In addition, the Nuggets already have a weak offense and strong defense Camby inside, and it would be a bit of a waste to send Martin with the same style on the court, or the balanced offense and defense of Nene is more suitable to start.

But now that Nene is unwell, and Chamberlain has gone berserk, Camby alone obviously can't look down on him, and Martin should also play.

As soon as Chamberlain landed on the inside, Camby was behind him, and Martin was watching from the sidelines.

Nelson Sr. waved hard, and Harrington, who was back on the pitch, withdrew from the box, and Martin hesitated to follow.

That's where the Warriors are tough, yes, they can pack Chamberlain, but then their power forward is empty. The orthodox power forwards on the Warriors' side are Harrington and Petrus, both of whom have beautiful long-range shooting skills, and if they dare to let go of the two, the opponent will suffer.

Martin followed out of the ball, Camby alone can not deal with Chamberlain, Billups passed the ball in, Chamberlain held the ball and shook left and right, his strong back leaned on Camby's chest, squeezed back, Camby staggered and took a step back, Chamberlain immediately turned around, shook his arm softly, shook his wrist and sent the ball into the hoop.

Carl couldn't help but shake his head, his face was a little frustrated, Chamberlain grew too fast, and the skills developed on the offensive end were amazing, and you can imagine how high he will be in the future.

Iverson and Nene went off the court, and the Nuggets' offensive strength was greatly reduced, and they could rely on Anthony and Nerve Knife Smith.

Anthony himself holds the ball and does it alone, Chamberlain goes up directly to mark him, Martin and Camby have almost zero other attacks except for dunks, and Harrington and Petrus are enough.

Facing the tall Chamberlain, Anthony was obviously a little uncomfortable, he quickly took small steps, and several consecutive feints did not deceive Chamberlain, so he could only helplessly step back and jump.

Even if he jumps, his posture is uncomfortable, otherwise he is comfortable with Chamberlain's block.

The ball bounced out, Chamberlain turned around and picked the rebound, Billups rushed forward quickly, Chamberlain got inside and also won the ball, Camby and Martin came up to wrap up, Chamberlain passed the ball to Billups, who quickly handed the ball to Petrus in the open space.

Petrus hit a shot from outside the three-point line, and the rhythm has been completely controlled by the Warriors.

Smith didn't get angry but rejoiced, he felt like his chance had finally come, he had a good hand today, and the fact that West who defended him was shorter than him gave him a strong sense of confidence that he had what it took to be the savior of the team today.

West's defensive aggressiveness is not what Smith can imagine, the defense has nothing to do with him before, he doesn't care, he just follows Smith everywhere and doesn't let him catch the ball. When Smith got the ball, he changed his attitude and immediately pounced like an octopus, entangling Smith without moving.

Smith's temper tantrum came up, and although West pressed him hard, he stubbornly chose to make a jumper. West pressed again and again, and Smith's shooting space was so small that the ball became an air balloon.
