Chapter 165: Becoming Mr. Key
Wallace's jumping ability is better than Zhang Yu's, this is the racial talent of the black, and the yellow and white races can only secretly envy it on the side.
I saw the defensive warrior stomp heavily on the floor, and his body jumped up, and when his body rose to the highest point, his elbows were already parallel to the basket. His big hands held the basketball and pressed heavily towards the basket, and the orange circle guarded by the Nuggets was once again struck by the Knicks.
This is a wonderful slam dunk that can be on the "Top Ten Balls of the Month", except for Zhang Yu who is still worried about Wallace's knee, the fans immediately burst into cheers that can shake the roof of the arena!
Knicks fans have seen arguably the fewest slam dunks this season in decades.
There's no way, they can't get a dunk if they can get a layup, they just don't give them a show.
Anthony was not concentrating this time, and he was a little strict, which had to be changed to the Spurs, and Popovich had already scolded him as soon as he roared.
George Carr could only hold his throat, and it was no problem to be angry. Today, Randolph is still defending hard, and the usual defense of these two big butts can make George Carr's throat explode!
Anthony pouted in his heart, not caring about his leakage at all, and decided to save face on the offensive end.
This year, the Nuggets no longer play blocking and dismantling, most of them are wings and low-post singles, but the foundation of blocking and dismantling is still there.
If Anthony wants to slam dunk in response, he must get rid of Wallace completely, and he can only be sure of it by calling for a pick-and-roll.
Randolph saw Anthony's gesture and ran out with his big ass, blocking Wallace with his big ass.
The Nuggets have such a big ass, and they are born to play blocking and dismantling, but the players don't cooperate, so they can only let them play alone.
Anthony went inside, Kenyon Martin was in the inside position, he didn't follow Randolph, and chose to block Anthony.
It was the right choice, because Anthony didn't intend to pass the ball at all, and his old team-mate knew Melon the best character.
Anthony entered the restricted area with Kenyon Martin, and when he saw that there was still a David Lee standing under the basket, he could only sigh, knowing that it was impossible to dunk, so he changed his original intention and made a sudden stop jump shot.
Kenyon Martin didn't brake like Anthony said, he ran a step, and it was too late to block again, so he could only watch his old teammates shoot.
This pull-up jump shot is also a constant scoring weapon for melons, with a guaranteed shooting percentage of about 10 feet and a hollow shot in basketball.
After Anthony scored this goal, his score rose to 36 points, and it seems that Melon has no problem getting 40+ today.
D'Antoni wasn't ready to bring on Dujon in the fourth quarter today, and Crawford was in his prime, with enough body to play the final quarter. Although Crawford is unstable today, he doesn't dare to replace this convulsive player, otherwise the Knicks' offensive firepower will completely defeat the Nuggets with the Big Three.
It was the right choice, too, as Crawford used his trademark back-dribbling on the offensive end to break through and jump to shoot for two points. His kind of shaky breakthrough is really difficult to defend in a one-on-one situation. Especially after the jump, if the hand is hot, enough for any opponent to eat a pot, his three 50+ came from this
In the 4:05 second of the game, the score became 99:99, Zhang Yu just received David Lee's inside ball, hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc, and once again turned the score of the two teams into a draw. It was his 35th point, and the Nuggets called a long timeout and George Karl was going to give the players a recuperation, they had a dead fat guy on the team who needed to catch his breath.
Randolph scored 21 points today, the second-highest scoring player for the Nuggets.
Anthony has 39 points, and he is one point away from getting 40+, of course, 40+ is no longer surprising for a player like him.
Billups scored 15 points, and when his teammates can score, Billups has no strong desire to score on his own, and he is a true team player. You may not see a player like that on the pitch, but he's done a lot of things, and it's all about winning.
After a minute break, Zhang Yu took the opportunity to recover a lot of body, and Lan Fatzi also indirectly helped him, and his playing time today was the highest since he entered the NBA.
After the Nuggets returned to the court, Randolph once again forced the inside to succeed, which made Zhang Yu, who was still talking about helping him just now, sick enough.
This dead fat man really wanted to win in "Madison Square Garden" today, and the attack just now was knocked off by Kenyon Martin even with his hood, but he still scored this goal strongly.
Fortunately, players like Kenyon Martin and the Nuggets are very familiar with each other, otherwise such defensive actions will cause conflicts. However, the Nuggets couldn't let Randolph chill, so Anthony took the initiative to give more balls to Randolph on the inside, which made the black fat man even more energetic.
Kenyon Martin is becoming more and more unbearable in the face of the crazy Randolph, which cannot be blamed on him, and he is not much better than him if he is replaced by someone else.
With 3:02 left in the fourth quarter, Kenyon Martin received his fifth foul, which was replaced by D'Antoni and topped up with Birdman.
During this time, Randolph forced the inside, made consecutive free throws, and scored another 5 points, turning the score into 102:105.
The Knicks didn't score for more than a minute, except for Wallace hitting an open three-pointer.
Gerard Wallace unwittingly raised his scoring to 20 points, and Anthony's defensive attitude has been criticized, and for good reason. Why wasn't Zhang Yu said that he had a bad defensive attitude? Or bad defense? Looking at his defensive opponents, J.R. Smith didn't get a draw at all today, scoring just six points so far on 2-of-10 shooting.
But even if J.R. Smith was no longer allowed to do so, George Carr continued to put him on the court. Only when he is on the court, Zhang Yu does not dare to unscrupulously cover others, and they can continue to play singles
Which is more efficient, "superstar singles" or "pick-and-roll"? The old coach is also confused now, they have such a good record, it can't be said that the star singles are inefficient, right?
Zhang Yu used the block and demolition to enter the interior line, and once the Knicks fell into the position, all the water was blocked and dismantled, just like the sun.
This time he dribbled the ball to the three-second zone, but there was no chance to shoot, and he arrogantly dribbled the ball in the penalty area and didn't come out.
JR Smith couldn't look at it, and reached out to take a handful, Zhang Yu immediately screamed exaggeratedly, and his hand was indeed slapped by JR Smith.
The bald Crawford had been staring at Zhang Yu in the box, he was counting the seconds, so he saw the foul clearly. Although Zhang Yu's actions were exaggerated, he still decisively blew for a foul on J.R. Smith.
George Carr's heart was beating as it was their fifth foul and they were about to make a free throw!
Zhang Yu's smile made the old handsome feel cold!
Sure enough~ his two free throws were clean and he scored two points easily.
"Be careful, don't foul!"
George Carr's voice was hoarse, and he shouted anxiously to the players on the field. Zhang Yu's free throw shooting rate is too scary, enough to make Shak O'Neal and Howard kneel to the teacher, and this Chinese is famous for being good at making fouls, how can you let the old coach not worry?
Zhang Yu didn't worry George Carlbai, Randolph half-hooked his hand out, David Lee grabbed the blue version, Zhang Yu received the ball and dribbled it to the front court, slowly, he didn't play a fast attack, and he didn't feel good at first glance.
Jr Smith is like a big enemy, he doesn't dare to stretch out his hand lightly now, but his defensive skills are really not very good, it all depends on enthusiasm, once this enthusiasm is accused, Zhang Yu doesn't care about him.
Zhang Yu dribbled the ball to the front court, and flashed the opponent in disguised form with two consecutive emergency stops.
J.R. Smith didn't dare to make physical contact with Zhang Yu, and his pace was a beat slower, so he could only let him go and defend behind him.
Zhang Yu entered the inside line again, and he once again arrogantly dribbled the ball to the penalty area, relying on his excellent ball control skills, and completely regarded this place as his own back garden. But this time no one broke his basketball, Zhang Yu was a little dazed, and he dribbled it for three seconds without paying attention.
Crawford had been staring at him for a long time, and this time he directly blew him for a "three-second violation", which turned New York fans into a black line
"I'm already planning to go out."
Zhang Yu weakly defended Crawford, but the other party only left him with a bare back of his head, and ignored him.
The Nuggets attacked, Anthony did not give the ball to Randolph again this time, and the opponent used a bag clamp on the black fat man inside, and the black fat man has not scored twice in a row.
Now the score is 104:105, and the Knicks have chased the score to only one point, and today the two teams alternately lead, and it is rare that they are pulled away by more than five points, and the score is very close.
Anthony attacked the inside, and this offense was a little reluctant, the basketball did not go up, but the rebound was grabbed by the rebound by the bounce of the height of the inside, and the second rebound was successful.
David Lee averaged nearly ten rebounds per game, but he still suffered a loss of height at critical times, and it was easy to lose backcourt rebounds at critical moments. His height is more suitable for playing in the number four position, so that the height disadvantage is gone. However, New York does not have a qualified starting center this year, so he can only be put on top.
Crawford missed a mid-range shot, also missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Nene again.
The Brazilian center's hands were like pincers, and he was desperately protecting the basketball, and the iron elbow shook left and right to force Anderson and David Lee to retreat.
Billups dribbled to the frontcourt, and when Crawford was defenseless, he suddenly shot coldly, and the basketball fell into the basket with a "swish", and the entire "Madison Square Garden" was instantly stunned, and everyone was stunned by the three-point shot of "Mr. Key"!
Billups held out three fingers above his head to celebrate his goal, and the Nuggets players all gathered around to congratulate the veteran, which was too morale-boosting.
The score of the two teams was 104:110, and Billups' key three-point score finally stretched the score of the two teams to 6 points, which was a rare watershed of five points.
D'Antoni called a timeout, the next attack must be scored, otherwise the opponent is likely to further widen the difference, and there is not much time left in the game, which will be fatal!
When the two teams were suspended, Kenny Smith praised the attack in the live broadcast room: "When it comes to where to start with Billups? He's become an expert at turning Denver's defeat around, with leadership skills, key shots, running the team, professionalism, attention to detail, and a lot of other attributes that he brings to this team, 'Quite simply, he's a winner,' that's what George Carr said. ”
Barkley laughed: "That's what he should do, he's the MVP of the finals, he knows how to hit the opponent, look at the face of the little rabbit, finally stop smiling badly." ”
During the Knicks' timeout, D'Antoni specially arranged a three-point shot for Zhang Yu.
The mustache chose to trust Zhang Yu, and the shot was a way to neutralize Billups' goal.
If you don't get it?
Zhang Yu has to shoulder most of the responsibility for the team's loss.
Zhang Yu is not afraid of this at all, this is the NBA game in his mind, and he has long been ready to become a "Mr. Key" like Billups.
