George was certainly nervous when he came on the pitch against Anthony.

A superstar like Anthony, who was famous in the United States when he was in college, is the idol and dream of many children.

When he led the team to a national sweep at Syracuse University, George had already heard of the super-scorer as a child.

Of course, the number one idol in George's heart is Kobe, so he is a little nervous in the face of Anthony, but he will not relax, let alone be excited to fight with his idol, and he is very excited in his heart.

On the contrary, he was very focused, thinking seriously about his defensive shortcomings against Anthony in the first half.

He felt that it was impossible to restrain Anthony on his own, and that he had to work with Ricky Davis.

At the end of the timeout, the Clippers took the lead, and Harden took advantage of Gasol Jr.'s cover to make a strong layup.

Then, the Nuggets handed the ball to Anthony, and George immediately came over to keep an eye on Anthony.

He blocked Anthony's right-handed break and forced Anthony to play on the left, which contained a trap set up by Ricky Davis and Gasol Jr.

As a result, Anthony did not go to the left side to make a strong attack, but chose to dribble and shoot 45 degrees outside the three-point line, and hit a three-point shot!

The Nuggets overtook the score!

Anthony's three-point shot is extremely fast.

George simply didn't have time to interfere.

Even if you interfere, it is estimated that you will not be able to stop Anthony, who feels very good.

Anthony has scored 44 points.

That's when the Clippers serve quickly in the backcourt.

George, who was still on the defensive just now, has turned into a fast-attacking cavalryman.

Quickly rushed across the halfcourt, received a pass from Harden, dribbled straight to the basket, and scored with his left hand!

A quick pass from Harden caught the Nuggets off guard.

It can also be seen in this goal that Anthony's defensive awareness is really bad.

After the goal, he stretched out three fingers and celebrated there.

The man who forgot that he was marking the opposite was Paul George.

George's nimble movement, as well as the fawn-like speed and bounce that is characteristic of young people, gave the Clippers two points with ease.

Min Congda shook his head when he saw this ball, Anthony's defensive awareness is really not good.

Subsequently, Anthony missed the re-attack and was caught by George and Ricky.

The ball was sent to the top of the arc, and Billups' strong shot missed.

Don't look at Billups being called the "big heart", in fact, his three-point shooting percentage is not too high.

And after coming to the Nuggets, in addition to shining in '09, last season and the beginning of this season, his shooting options have gotten worse and worse, and his shooting percentage has been average.

With the backcourt rebounding in control, the Clippers counterattacked again, and it was Harden again, with a straight pass through the defender to George.

George catches the ball under the basket, makes a rebound, and scores two more points!

The Clippers counterattacked twice in a row, 111:108, surpassing the Nuggets by 3 points!

The Nuggets' defense was really infocused, and they were easily beaten by the Clippers at critical moments.

Min Congda looked at it and shook his head, how did George Karl practice this defense, or did he really not defend as rumored?

At this time, Ida came back from buying popcorn, and when she saw Min Congda shaking her head, she guessed that the situation on the court should be good for the Clippers.

Looking up, sure enough, the Clippers had a three-point lead as soon as they came in.

Ida has figured out Min Congda's temperament, and he is worried that the Clippers are playing well.

"Mr. Smart, your popcorn."

"Oh, thank you Ada, you can eat some too?"

"If I don't eat, I'll get fat."

"Stephen! Popcorn, eat some. ”

Curry waved his hand, he didn't want to eat anymore.

It's not that I'm afraid of being fat, but I think it's inappropriate.

He played with the guys, and eating popcorn felt like watching the fun on the sidelines.

"Don't pretend, eat as much as you want, and when the game is over, take a bag back to the hotel."

"Is that okay?"

"Nonsense, of course."

So, the two of them relished it, eating popcorn one after the other and watching the game.

Min Congda was troublesome and asked Curry to hold the popcorn bucket.

Dunleavy, who was sitting not far away, shook his head when he saw the two of them like this, thinking that these two goods are really hopeless, have no heart?

The game is tense to death, and I'm in the mood to eat popcorn here.

The two sides have entered the final decisive moment.

The Nuggets called a timeout to lay out a key offense.

Anthony runs on the outside to get the ball and hands it to Billups immediately.

Then he fell into the low post and took the ball in the low post to eat Paul George.

Anthony looked like he was about to turn around and make a jumper, but it turned out to be a feint and shook past George.

Then he burst to the basket and scored a layup against Gasol Jr.'s defense, which also caused a foul.

"Shet." Curry cursed.

Anthony 2+1, hit the free throw, the two sides tied 111:111.

Subsequently, the Clippers made a mistake on the outside and was stealed by Billups!

Min Congda secretly applauded, this ball Nuggets have a chance to overtake the final word.

As a result, Afflalo's counterattack layup was ruthlessly blocked by Paul George from behind!

A crucial one-time cap!

Curry excitedly raised his hands and lifted the popcorn in his hand.

The popcorn fluttered one after another, and Min Congda's head fell.

The ball wasn't over yet, and George, who had the block, took control of the ball.

The ball is given to Harden, and Harden makes another long pass to the inside!

Gasol Jr. received the ball and made a light layup, and the Clippers overtook it!

At 113:111, the Clippers took the lead, and there were still a dozen seconds left before the end of the game.

Curry couldn't care about the excitement and hurriedly plucked the popcorn off Min Congda's head.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Smart, I didn't mean to."

Curry apologized and smiled from ear to ear, holding a popcorn bucket in his hand that he forgot.

Min Congda sighed and said, "If you don't like to eat it, you give it to me, it's a waste if you don't throw it away, do you know?" ”

Ida couldn't hold back her laughter on the side, and there were fans and spectators around who took out their mobile phones to take pictures of Min Congda.

The photographer on the sidelines must have recorded this hilarious scene.

The Nuggets used up the last timeout.

When George returned to the bench, his teammates came up to him and gave him a high-five.

In crunch time, George's two fast-break layups and blocks were crucial.

Of course, Harden's passing is also very crucial, three passes, the ball is deadly.

Min Congda saw that he didn't eat much popcorn, he still had to win the game, and he was in a bad mood.

Seeing Curry's hippie smiling face, I really wanted to give him a big coercion to relieve his hatred.

At the end of the timeout, the Nuggets' final kill tactic was very simple, which was to give the ball to Anthony to solve the problem.

That's the style of George Carr, who doesn't like to design tactics that are too elaborate.

He famously said, "A well-designed tactic is not as good as a frontcourt rebound." ”

As a result, Anthony, who has scored 47 points in this game, missed a three-point shot from the outside.

Gasol Jr. grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and didn't give the Nuggets another chance, and the Clippers won the game 113:111, with a two-point advantage, ending a four-game losing streak!
