Chapter 926: It's so hard

Although the Pelicans and Anthony are opponents, Li Feng and they have to admire Anthony's exquisite passing while sitting on the sidelines, this guy's talent is simply amazing, and another reason why Anthony is so sought after.

Anthony of the Nuggets has shown his offensive strength, and now what he has to do is to help the team win, at least he is doing well now, every star is different, personal personality, and playing habits, determine that although they are the same superstars, Anthony is destined to take a different path than James Wade.

Sean Kemp saw Anthony's brilliant goal at this time, he glanced at his partner Payton and said:

"Gary, look, it looks like Anthony won't keep us comfortable for long."

"Oh yes, Anthony is a nuisance wherever he appears."

Payton scratched his head, and then went to see Anthony's fast-break defense, a series of beautiful moves and the right choice, and one Anthony made the Nets run smoothly.

The fans at the New Orleans arena didn't welcome the Nets with boos at this time, and now they don't need to do it at all, in fact, that's what makes the Nets fans feel the most, and these guys don't pay attention to Anthony's extremely wonderful assist.

The Pelicans players looked at each other without any expression, as if to say, nothing, we just came to play soy sauce as boring, Brewer received the ball from the baseline.

Li Feng yelled at this guy on the sidelines:

"Ronnie, you're going to have an Anthony-esque pass, you're a point guard right now."

Brewer stuck out his tongue at Li Feng, and the Pelicans' cheerleaders in suits immediately all laughed, and the Pelicans were hit by Anthony, but they were still so orderly in the Nets' half.

It's as if the Pelicans' players are all Germans, and they don't mess around at all, and they still play how they want to play. Pelicans, these people, the heart of victory and defeat is not so big, now they are on the court, just how to play, how to play, the mentality is not chaotic, the team's tactics are not chaotic, after a few pass balls, Caron Butler stuck Mason Plumlee on the bottom line.

Kaloon Butler took Mason Plumlee as soon as the players on this side immediately pulled out space for Caron Butler. Brewer, who played as a guest point guard, also dribbled over to the side and quickly slipped the basketball into the hands of Caron Butler.

Basketball is on the inside, and Al Jefferson is waiting to see the big battle between Carlon Butler and Mason Plumlee, Mason Plumlee is on defense, which is famous for using his body, but basketball is on the inside.

Caron Butler didn't stop at all, and even though he followed the basketball in the castration, he suddenly rolled over and pressed Mason Plumlee with his shoulder. Then he thrust his shoulders hard to the side, and Caron Butler slipped in cleanly past Mason Plumlee.

Karon Butler, who slipped in, stepped up, his speed was already faster than Mason Plumlee, and just one shoulder gave him an absolute advantage. Now face the basket with a quick one-handed dunk from Calonebutler.

smashed the basketball into the basket of the Nets, and the New Orleans Arena, which was silent just now, saw their players score a beautiful baseline breakthrough dunk, and these people immediately cheered.

This time. Mason Plumlee was also very helpless, he didn't expect that Caron Butler would rarely break through the bottom line so domineeringly, first pressing others with his shoulders and then exerting his strength.

"It seems. Anthony won't be able to beat our Pelicans for a while. ”

Payton saw Butler's dunk and said proudly.

The Nets' continuous offensive success just now is also booming in momentum, Alan Anderson took the ball on the bottom line, and then ran towards the Pelicans' half court at a rapid pace, at this time he found that Anthony's running route was a little weird, and drilled towards the Pelicans' baseline line.

Alan Anderson is Anthony's little brother both on and off the pitch, he knows Anthony and sees Anthony going that way, and he runs over himself in order to be able to pass the ball to Anthony effectively.

Sure enough, after Anthony came over, it was also a retaliatory attack, he turned around and stuck Thornton at the bottom line, Alan Anderson sent the basketball to Anthony's hands, Anthony got the basketball, and almost in the same way, he turned around and forced Thornton's body to dunk and score.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Anthony began to go crazy again, and this guy hit one after another, looking extremely powerful.

But the Pelicans are not afraid of Anthony's strong play, you are strong, how we should play or how to play, this is what the Pelicans' current state looks like.

They don't care how their opponents play, and no matter how their opponents play, the Pelicans play the same way.

And the play was very regular, Brewer controlled the ball and passed the basketball to the hands of Al Jefferson on the side, and then Brewer himself ran to the Pelicans' side to cover the rest of the players.

Brewer automatically came up to cover, and Kaloon Butler immediately used the cover to run out, and then Karon Butler ran out of DJ Augustin, DJ Augustin ran out as if he were a ghost, and immediately followed Karon Butler and ran out.

And the Nets' defender ignored DJ Augustin who ran out from behind, Al Jefferson saw a player running out without defense, Al Jefferson immediately passed the ball to DJ Augustin's hands, DJ Augustin got the basketball and immediately turned over and jumped.

The strongest thing about this guy is that he is stable, and sometimes DJ Augustin's stability is amazing, especially now in this area near the three-second zone, DJ Augustin turned around and shot the basketball.

The Pelicans are still playing a decent rate, and both the Nets and Kidd are staring at the court.

Anthony ran to the baseline almost instantly to ask for the ball, and Mason Plumlee didn't dare to disobey the melons in the slightest.

After shoving the basketball into Anthony's hands, Anthony turned around and rushed towards the Pelicans' half, at this time the experienced Thornton knew that he was at a loss to defend Anthony face-to-face, and this time he was ready to force Anthony near the sideline from the side.

Then Brewer came up to help him defend, the two of them hit back and forth, and Anthony had no way out, Thornton thought so, and Brewer also understood what Thornton meant. The two defenders struck together.

At the beginning, Anthony really didn't expect that Thornton and Brewer had a conspiracy, and he really got into the trap, and Anthony got into the whole set, watching the two defenders come up on both sides.

At this time, Anthony realized that he was in danger, and it was a very dangerous thing to be caught in the corner, but Anthony was able to stop his body at this time and stand up to the two people in front and behind to observe for a while.

This is Anthony's advantage, can others be observed when they are trapped? I was afraid that the ball would be broken soon, but Anthony was able to resist it with his body, observed it, and then suddenly made a feint of dribbling with one hand, making a move to turn around.

Then he threw the basketball away from Thornton and Brewer, and that's Anthony's personal ability and physical ability.

Thornton and Brewer didn't lock up Anthony alone, leaving Anthony out of the cage.

Anthony got to the outside of the three-point line, and a quick pull up was a three-pointer, and Anthony was about to hit a three-pointer.

Anthony came out with a three-pointer. And it really hit.

"Anthony has gone through the defense of Thornton and Brewer, this guy is getting better and better, and if the Nets can win the championship, he will no longer be said to be worse than Wade and James."

Peyton's rare objective reviewer Anthony. And then the next sentence is Peyton's style:

"But this also requires the consent of our Tyrannosaurus Rex Li Feng."

Sean Kemp couldn't stand his partner a little anymore, and Kemp laughed and said:

"Actually, the players of the Nets have done well enough, but a sheep leading a pack of wolves has caused them too much internal friction."

This teasing style. It's a little vague, but Kidd almost wants to jump to the back of the commentary box to fix these two guys, who are just too presumptuous.

The Pelicans are confident. On the court, these Pelicans players are also very calm and strategic, they do not fight as hard as some players who do not have the main force, they play the same randomly, but pass the ball patiently.

No matter how strong you Anthony is, we don't pay attention to you, just play on our own, Brewer and Thornton broke through two consecutive breaks from the top of the arc, drilled in and disrupted the Nets' defense, and waited for Brewer's second breakthrough.

The Pelicans finally found an opportunity, the Nets' baseline defense leaked, and it was Anthony who leaked, he leaked DJ Augustin behind him, Anthony thought DJ Augustin was a harmless creature.

But what Anthony didn't expect was that he had just moved two steps towards it, and Brewer in front of him directly sent the basketball to DJ Augustin, who cut into the baseline, and only then did Anthony remember to turn back to defend.

It is very difficult to attack the basket under Anthony's defense, Anthony's body is very strong, but DJ Augustin got the basketball without a trace of panic, received the ball and accelerated a step, then slowed down the rhythm, leaned against the opponent, tried to use his body to lean on Anthony, and then stretched out his hand and wiped the basketball towards the basket.

DJ Augustine's two movements are very clean, the rhythm is clear, and the rhythm and body are leaning on Anthony's shot, at this time, Anthony can't block DJ Augustine's great skills, DJ Augustine made a shot, and sent the basketball to the basket.

This time, DJ Augustin's Anthony is also disgraced, and this DJ Augustin can be regarded as scoring on Anthony's head.

DJ Augustine landed as if he had nothing to do, as if he had walked away without doing anything, but Anthony felt very unhappy, things were really unhappy, and even he was changed by others, can this thing be cool.

And at this time, Van Gundy finally stopped sitting there as if he was watching a play, and he also laughed, this DJ Augustin is really a baby, although he is not tall enough, but his bad combat achievements are no worse than Nate Robertson, and his shooting is even stronger than that of small potatoes.

The most valuable thing about DJ Augustin in the Pelicans is that he is very calm, super calm, he can maintain this calm at all times, and now even after killing Carmelo Anthony, he has always been very calm.

Peyton said from the commentary bench:

"Well done DJ, this guy has a ruthless aura, I like his coldness. Hahaha, look at Anthony's face now, he's angry, this guy has met a stubborn stone. ”

DJ Augustine is like a stubborn stone, and even Anthony James can't make DJ Augustine move.

Anthony didn't have much to do with DJ Augustin, he immediately increased his firepower on the offensive end when he arrived at the Pelicans' half, this time Anthony chose to break through from the wing, this guy broke through directly from the wing, withstood the Pelicans' two-man defense, and made a pull rod action in the air. Put the basketball in the Pelicans' hoop.

The Pelicans really have no way to take a strong small forward like Anthony without Li Feng, and Anthony has already scored a lot of points in the Pelicans half.

Anthony is going crazy, the Pelicans are playing steadily, using the team practice method one after another, constantly hurting Anthony and the Nets at halftime, Van Gundy is on the sidelines, and no matter how the form on the court is, it is to allocate the Pelicans' players according to the playing time of the players who are going to the court. Although the team only has 12 people now, it is too tiring to make these 12 people play for a relatively balanced time, and they can't be too much. You can't play too little and make the other players too tired.

The Pelicans and the Nets maneuvered like this, and by the end of the first half, the Pelicans and the Nets were still evenly matched. The two teams were tied at 54-56, and the Pelicans also had a slight two-point lead.

The Nets played a depressed game today, and Anthony wanted to take the opportunity to go crazy, who knew that the Pelicans were so hard. It's hard beyond imagination, Anthony is depressed enough, as if he is inferior to his opponent, the Pelicans seem to be an old powerhouse and the Nets have always been a small team.

What makes Anthony even more angry now is that his team can't win against an opponent like a team that doesn't have a few main players at all, and the Pelicans take the lead at halftime.

This thing is simply a bit insulting, if the Pelicans only have eight people left to beat the Nets, then the Nets will not have to mix up in the future, and they won't be able to raise their heads when they encounter the Pelicans.

But here at the Pelicans, these guys are very happy, whether it is the players who played today, or the cheerleaders in suits sitting on the sidelines, everyone is happy, although we don't have a few people playing, we can still control the opponent.

The Nets weren't a big deal, a few of us off the bench were able to clean them up, and the Pelicans celebrated enthusiastically, high-fived each other, and returned to the locker room, Payton gloated:

"The Pelicans played well today, even the Nets can't beat the Pelicans' 12-man team, isn't it Kemp."

Kemp was laughing, but this old guy knew that the biggest flaw of this kind of 12-man team was in the body, whether it could hold on, the first half of the game could not explain the problem at all, and the only thing that could explain the problem was the second half of the game.

The Pelicans can use 12 people to hold the game, this thing is over, if it can't be supported, the Pelicans still have to lose, today's game is mainly to watch the fourth quarter, now it depends on the Pelicans' usual training quality and the players' physical fitness.

The Pelicans are looking good right now, but the Pelicans are walking a tightrope, and taking advantage of this time, Sean Kemp is very concerned about dropping the player's count.

What he wants to look at is not the number of jΓΉ, but the playing time of each player, Sean Kemp just glanced at it, and he laughed, this Van Gundy really doesn't have to worry about himself, the Pelicans' longest playing time on the entire team is Oladipo playing 16 minutes and 40 seconds, and the rest of the players are all in control of about 15 minutes, and none of them have exceeded 16 minutes.

It can be seen that Van Gundy came out to direct the game today, just to control the time, and he ignored the rest.

Sean Kemp saw this, and he was a little yearning for the second half of the game, if the Pelicans did win today, then the Nets would be really ugly.

The Nets are already ugly right now, and in the locker room, Nets head coach Kidd is spitting at his players.

"What are you doing, look at our score now, we are actually behind the Pelicans who are 12 people behind, think about it, we are 12 people behind the Pelicans, don't you feel ashamed, don't you think you are very useless, you can't even deal with the Pelicans' bench players, you are really not as good as the Pelicans' bench players."

"Look at your defense today, even middle school students can easily get through your defense. Look at your offense today, what you're doing, how did you lose so many balls. ”

"Do you think you can take the Pelicans lightly with only bench players, but now look at your situation, you can't even beat other people's benches, don't you feel ashamed to do nothing with so much salary?"

Kidd was standing in the locker room spraying wildly, Anthony was sitting there with a black face, and now the Nets players felt it, and Anthony and Kidd were both very unhappy.

The "mother-in-law" of the team was not happy, and the "father-in-law" was not happy. Both guys were very unhappy, and their lives were sad this time.

The Nets players are thinking so, and you must know that Anthony has an absolute say in the locker room, and even in management.

Anthony's opinion is important, and the Nets players understand it, and after Kidd spoke, Anthony sat there and began to speak:

"Guys, today we met the Pelicans who are the No. 1 team in the West, but they're not a complete Pelican. Not even half a pelican. ”

"If we lose to a Pelicans like this, how much pressure we're going to have next, and even if we win the championship, maybe people laugh at us. It is said that it is not won by real strength. ”

"And you can imagine what the Pelicans in the suit row would say, and we knew I was going to win, and we didn't have to play. That's why we're on the bench. ”

"Those guys could have said that, they might, since that's the case. Guys, can you still bear it, can you still bear this to happen to us. ”

"I can't."

Alan Anderson, who is better with Anthony, and Da led the way out, and now what the Nets lack is the fighting spirit of the opponent who must win.

The second half of the game began, the Pelicans and Nets reappeared on the court, and the Pelicans' lineup for the second half was the same as in the first half, with point guard Oladipo, shooting guard Arenas, small forward Caron Butler, power forward Al Jefferson, and center Henson.

The NBA's lineup, in general, is the same as the first quarter.

"It's the second half of the Pelicans vs. Nets game, and I ate a little bit at halftime, and the ham in Wordsworth's restaurant, it tasted good, and now I'm back in the game and I'm in a much better mood."

Peyton said as he sat on the top of the commentary seat.

"Are you advertising or not, Gary, there's an extra charge."

Sean Kemp said from the side.

"Oh, I'm totally pro bono and I don't have any propaganda component."

Peyton explained.

At this time, the game between the Pelicans and the Nets restarted, and the Pelicans still pressed towards the half of the Nets as in the first half, and the offense in the half.

The Pelicans played the same first-half game, with Oladipo breaking through from the top of the arc, diving in one step to draw the Nets' defense in, and then passing the basketball toward the baseline as Kaloon Butler ran toward the baseline.

It's a tactic the Pelicans have used a few times, almost every time they can cut a piece of meat from the Nets, but now when Kalombbutler gets the basketball and breaks through the baseline, he immediately encounters the Nets' tough defense.

David Lee unexpectedly made a layup from the side, and Caron Butler could only pass the basketball out, at which point the Pelicans' two passes to the ball passed the basketball to Al Jefferson's hands.

Al Jefferson made a quick shot, and Lopez under the Nets made desperate saves to interfere with Al Jefferson's shot.

This time, Al Jefferson actually missed, and Anthony jumped up under the basket to protect the backcourt rebound in his hands.

By this time, Anthony had also reached the point of the outbreak of the small universe, because his team had just drawn with the Pelicans, but it was not Anthony's idea to draw with the Pelicans.

got the basketball, he quickly passed the basketball to Delon's hands, and then immediately ran quickly to the Pelicans' half court to get stuck in the position, and now Anthony feels that it is the time to hit the Pelicans, if he can quickly hit the Pelicans, he will immediately drive the Nets' offense.
