Chapter 164: Quarrel on the sidelines, this person doesn't sweat when he plays?
JR Smith is in a bit of a good state, at least in Anthony's eyes!
Don't pass the ball!
The Nerve Knife is vividly embodied!
JR Smith unexpectedly rained three points outside the three-point line in this era that does not belong to three-point shooting!
This is also one point that George Carr is very dissatisfied with JR.
You've got Anthony, you've got Kenyon Martin, you've got Nene and you've got Nenne, and you've got a shot from the outside!
“JR! Pass the ball, hurry up and pass the ball to Lao Tzu! ”
George Carr roared on the long side, but JR's eyes were only on the basket as wide as the sea.
Forced to shoot against Lin Mu's defense!
"Brush!"
After five consecutive shots, JR finally hit a difficult three-pointer!
But it was this three-point shot that made George Carr completely fry.
“Shit!”
"Did you hear me when I asked you to pass the ball?"
"TMD, I'm going to skin you alive!"
In the dead-ball phase, George Carr replaced JR directly, and Dundee Jones, who was better defensively, came on.
Needless to see, George Karl scolded JR directly after he left the game: "Why don't we play with our tactical coordination? Why do you want to shoot three points from the outside! ”
"What the hell do you think about being so inefficient?!"
George Carr was extremely angry, and JR was also short-tempered and didn't give the manager any face at all.
"Shut your mouth!"
"I'm playing my way, I'm using my strength to help the team, and your outdated attacking tactics will only make us passive!"
"Stuck in passivity? It's not that the Nuggets can be second in the West? ”
Obviously, the two had a fierce quarrel on the sidelines, and the culprit of all this, Lin Mu had already laughed in his heart.
"Noisy!"
"You have to give me a hard fight!"
Turning back and letting Nuggets management fire JR and then rightfully take over one of the toughest players in history.
When I came to Oklahoma, it was my Lin Mu's world!
Even if you JR has three heads and six arms, you have to stay in the world honestly for me!
However, it is obviously unrealistic to fool JR in its current state.
In this stage where the strong are respected, it is difficult to suppress such a player without two brushes for a person like this.
Why did JR change its mind?
LeBron James played a key role in this!
That ungodly journey to the championship made JR Smith reborn.
The daughter born in 2017 made her feel the beauty of the world.
After retiring from the army, he pursued a university degree, which seemed like a fantasy to JR, which was once unruly!
"Lin, to be honest, do you have any thoughts about other people?"
Glancing at the farce on the Nuggets' bench, Durant said cautiously.
"I have a lot of players who have ideas."
Lin Mu glanced at Durant, in the 21st century, who doesn't like talents?
"No, you have thoughts about him, why do you want to destroy people so much on the court?"
"You see, it's all in conflict with the manager."
You know a hammer!
"Play well, don't worry about the adults!"
Just over halfway through the game, the game between the Nuggets and the Thunder was extremely anxious, and at the end of the first half, the Nuggets led the Thunder by two points, of which the inside score accounted for most of the half.
No way, in the absence of Jordan Jr. and Collisson, it is very difficult for the absolute height of the Thunder to block the impact of the Nuggets.
After all, they're just a bunch of first- and second-year rookies.
In the Nuggets locker room, George Carr didn't say a word with a black face.
The atmosphere was a bit solemn, and everyone here knew what happened in the first half very well.
Theoretically, George Karl shouldn't be so excited, but in fact JR's approach is really bad, and as one of the leaders of the Thousand Miles, George Karl has to maintain his majesty on the court.
Not only George Carr, but even Anthony was a little dissatisfied.
Do you really think you're the leader of the team?
Sitting on the outside and shooting three points like crazy?
Aren't you making a fuss!
In this era, even Anthony rarely shoots three-pointers from the outside, and JR's move is obviously seriously inconsistent with the style at this stage.
What's more, there is no need for the Thunder to shoot crazy on the outside when there is a shortage of major generals on the inside.
The interior combination of Kenyon Martin and Nene has made the Thunder quite uncomfortable.
"In the second half, we have to strengthen the inside offense, reduce unnecessary outside shots, Anthony has to keep charging the opponent's inside, the Thunder is not as weak as imagined, we have to cheer up, we can't have the slightest relaxation!"
The fourth in the west, regardless of whether the family is lying down, can occupy the top four in such a violent west, and does not have a certain strength, and it is difficult to accomplish such an achievement by luck alone.
"Those two rookie boys on the other side seem to be a little rampant!"
Kenyon Martin twisted his neck.
"Don't relax, blow them up in the second half!"
Billups took a sip of water, as if to say something perfectly normal.
"Defend a little bit and don't let No. 35 easily break through the inside, then we will have more pressure."
Nene patted Anthony on the shoulder, the fighter from Brazil still has a very important say in the Nuggets locker room.
"OK, I'll stalk him in the second half!"
Anthony is also a little uncomfortable, Durant's offensive talent is not inferior to him, although the Grim Reaper has not fully evolved, his defense is much worse than Kobe, and it is very difficult for Anthony to lock Durant one-on-one.
At the beginning of the second half, Anthony really used his strong body to harass Durant as said in the locker room, and it was difficult for Durant to receive the basketball in a comfortable position, which made him feel a little bad, but compared to the devastation he received on weekdays, these small problems could not defeat the "great Kevin"!
Lin Mu glanced at Anthony's position, and found Durant with a high crane.
The moment Durant received the ball, he pushed it in front of him, in order to confront Anthony and interfere with the opponent's close defense.
For an attacker like Durant, as long as he is given a little space, he can complete the attack from mid-range!
Against Anthony's defense, Durant is unusually decisive in the middle distance!
"Brush!"
The whistle blows!
After falling to the ground, Durant stood up with a spirit, and then said with a smile: "Just this defense? It's far worse than Lin Mu! ”
What Durant said is the truth, after all, Lin Mu, who is a monk in defense, is much more difficult to deal with than Anthony's defense.
In terms of static talent, Lin Mu also has the upper hand.
Free throw hit, 51:50!
Durant helps the Thunder overtake by one point!
Anthony takes the ball and attacks, and the Nuggets block and cover!
Dundee Jones has been doing dirty work in the team, and with such a blocking and dismantling tactic, he was physically strong and stood up for the first time.
But the strange thing is that the effect after blocking and dismantling does not seem to be as effective as imagined?
"Zhen Nima is funny, she actually blocked and dismantled with Lin Mu, who has the best blocking and demolition efficiency of the Thunder, is the Nuggets afraid that they have lost their minds?"
Durant wanted to cover his mouth and snicker, but there were too many cameras around, and Durant could only hold back with a red face.
Lin Mu stood in front of Anthony for the first time, the little melon in the TV was far less strong than in real life, and if you want to say that the strongest man in the 03 platinum generation, the early little emperor James is probably not as good as Carmelo Anthony.
It can be seen that Anthony's physical strength is definitely among the best among the wing players in the entire NBA league!
It's just that...
In my impression, there are too many scenes of Anthony being blocked, and in the most exciting block highlights of Yao Ming's career, Anthony has the best number of appearances!
It's not that Anthony's dynamic talent is terrible, on the contrary, Anthony is quite good both statically and dynamically.
To paraphrase what Director Zhang once said: Anthony went to college four years longer than James, and he behaved like a high school student when dealing with problems, while James showed maturity.
Not bad!
Anthony's shots are sometimes too casual!
Coupled with the unlimited firing rights during the Nuggets period, Anthony's number of blocks is naturally at the top.
Don't think you're stable!
On the basketball court, you have to be on your toes at all times and you can't let up in any way!
Anthony put on a three-threat posture, facing Lin Mu, who may be selected as the league's best defensive team in the first year, Anthony didn't dare to be careless!
Even, than in the face of Durant, Anthony is still vigilant!
Anthony, who is also a friend in the league, certainly remembers what James said to himself on the phone: "Lin Mu is an incredible player, his progress is as fast as a rocket, he has a strong body, and he has a beastly sense of defense. ”
"It's very difficult for me to attack one-on-one!"
Of course, James's offensive comprehensiveness is far inferior to Anthony's, Anthony broke through on the left side after three threats, and Lin Mu stuck to Anthony's shooter to prevent the "little melon" from having a chance to stop and jump shot.
As everyone knows, Anthony's sudden crotch retreat disrupted Lin Mu's defensive rhythm.
Look at the right time, Anthony is about to shoot when he gets the ball!
"Smack!"
Steady and ruthless way of cutting the ball, Lin Mu can't block it in the first time, since this is the case, it's better to gamble and break the ball in a faster way!
Keeping up with the footsteps, Lin Mu didn't pay any attention to Anthony's shooting action, and the moment he collected the ball, he cut it down fiercely!
"The ball is broken!"
"Lin Mu completed the steal on Anthony, this is a great opportunity for the Thunder to launch a fast attack!"
Director Zhang roared wildly in the commentary seat, the Huaxia Nova Single Defense Alliance attacked the kaleidoscope, and I wanted to ask, who else!
After stealing and taking the ball, Lin Mu quickly counterattacked and threw the ball into the air.
On the other side, Durant had already descended to the Nuggets half.
"Bang!"
It's another successful defensive conversion dunk, and it's also one of the best ways for the Thunder to play well this year!
Relying on Lin Mu's extremely excellent defense, when the whole team is young, the Thunder can complete the offensive and defensive conversion in an instant.
Anthony looked extremely unhappy when he was cut the ball, but Anthony did not choose to defend in the first time after conceding the ball, this is Anthony's defensive attitude throughout his career, and it is difficult for you to see from him that James is looking down and chasing back.
The Nuggets possessed the ball, and Billups signaled to press down the tempo, and there was no need to play a fast break with the Thunder.
Positional warfare!
The team's brain is extremely clear in thinking, why do you have to fight the opponent when the inside line is dominant?
Isn't it stupid to take shortcuts?
However!
After the Thunder landed, George Karl was surprised to find that the position of the Nuggets players had changed subtly.
The defensive positions of Durant and Lin Mu have been reversed!
It is understandable that Durant can adapt well to the role of the No. 2 position in terms of mobility and scoring ability, and Lin Mu is the team's starting small forward, his offense may not be as good as Durant, but as far as the defensive end is concerned, it is more than a dozen streets to throw the former!
"Relying on Lin Mu to recover the disadvantage of the inner line?"
"Thunder, you're too naïve!"
Kenyon Martin singles out Jeff Green!
The two are almost the same in height, and they are both extremely athletically gifted wind players, but Kenyon Martin relies more on eating cakes to score, and his one-on-one offensive efficiency is not high for Martin.
"The Great Luo of the Worlds"
Sure enough, Green's sticky defense gave the brutalist power forward a great distraction, and the shot was outrageous, and he couldn't even get into the frame.
Defensive rebounds!
Scott was a little nervous off the court, after all, the Thunder conceded a lot of backcourt rebounds in the first half, so they were at a relative disadvantage in the interior confrontation.
A black shadow burst out of the crowd, [Lefu Rebounding Monster], Lin Mu flew into the sky and held the rebound firmly in his hand!
Returning to the small forward position, he can better protect the backcourt rebounds, while in the position of scoring guard, Lin Mu's position is closer to the outside, and it is difficult to protect the rebounds in the first time.
Durant's small body was flown out by Anthony, counting on him to get in the spot, and he was a fool!
“Nice!”
Scott got the right bet!
Transferring Lin Mu back to the small forward position, the Thunder's interior confrontation is much better than before.
Lin Mu, who averaged 13 rebounds per game, ranked among the top two in the league in rebounding data this year!
In front of him is only Magic star Dwight Howard.
It's hard to imagine that a No. 3 player can put up such outstanding numbers on rebounding.
Just like Wei Shao in the future, a small guard averages double-doubles in rebounds per game, how terrifying is this?
At the end of the third quarter, George Carr realized the seriousness of the problem.
Why did Lin Mu return to the No. 3 position, and the Nuggets' inside advantage was gone?
Also, Lin Mu, who has played three full sections, really doesn't take a minute of rest?
It's just the regular season, is it necessary to fight like this?
However, when George Carr learned about Lin Mu's average playing time in the regular season, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
"What?! You repeat? ”
Listening to the voice of the teaching assistant in his ear, George Carr exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yes, 44 minutes per game."
After receiving an accurate answer, George Carr froze in place.
44 minutes per game?
Are you TM even scarier than the playoffs?
Scott really doesn't want to use the Thunder as a star?
If he wants to fight like this, will he die?
George Carr swears he's never seen a player who plays 44 minutes in the regular season!
Looking at Lin Mu, who was alive and well on the court, George Carr showed white doubts.
"Why is there no sweat on this man's forehead?"
