The Nuggets' opening series of defenses made the Raptors suddenly messed up.

This series of aggressive defenses made the Raptors unable to play even the simplest tactics.

Whoever comes up with the ball will be pinched and forced to pass the ball in a hurry.

The Raptors were completely led by the Nuggets' defense.

In basketball, sometimes you have to pay attention to an initiative. Who is in control of the situation is a very crucial point.

When the two sides play a game, it is naturally easier for the side that controls the situation to gain an advantage.

If you take the initiative yourself, then when you feel that it is not possible, you will slow down, and when you think it is okay, you will seize the impact.

But if you let others press on you and change gears wantonly, then it is not up to you to decide whether it will work or not.

The Raptors are now pressed by the Nuggets, and they can only pass the ball hastily under the pressure of the Nuggets, and they can't come at their own pace at all.

Anthony gritted his teeth, next time he decided not to pass, no matter who defended himself, he had to go straight to single!

This attack, Calderon took advantage of the pinch and passed the ball directly to Anthony.

When Anthony receives the ball, it's not Ryan who is responsible for defending him, it's AK47!

That's where the Nuggets have their second luxury on the defensive end, when other teams are eager to send their strongest perimeter gate to defend Anthony.

Bird was able to keep Ryan from doing such a tough opposition defense and let him focus more on the offensive end!

It's like a rich man who has a Porsche and can't drive because he also has a Lamborghini.

Anthony meets Monta. Ellis was about to come up and flank again, so he immediately burst into the middle, hoping to complete the breakthrough before the flank came up.

But Ellis was still too fast, and he was about to complete the encirclement. In the end, Anthony could only make a quick stop when Ellis was about to pinch it and pass the ball towards Calderón, who was cleared.

Seeing this, Ellis gave up the flanking attack and immediately returned to Calderón's side.

But after he gave up the pinch, he found out that Anthony actually just made a fake pass!

After using a fake pass to fend Ellis, Agua lifted the ball over his head and shot straight at the basket.

AK47 jumped up and interfered with the first time, but Anthony has now made another fake throw after the fake pass just now! This fake throw also shook Kirilenko directly!

Two feints in a row allowed Anthony to shake off all defenses. Now, he can shoot with ease!

An Gua was secretly happy in his heart, sure enough, there is no airtight defense in the world.

This time, I just found my chance!

As long as this first ball can be shot steadily, the offensive opportunities are getting better and better.

In basketball, when the offense is in trouble, all it might take is an ice-breaking goal.

Anthony calmly threw the ball, already happy that he had broken the Nuggets' impregnable defense.

But as soon as the basketball was thrown, a long arm stretched out from behind the diagonal and slapped the basketball that had just been launched!

Kirilenko rebounded immediately after landing after being shaken off, and used his reach advantage from diagonal back to block Anthony's shot. Anthony has indeed shaken Kirilenko in this round, but it still doesn't help!

Anthony thought he would finally be able to score, but Kirilenko still made Anthony suffer when he was shaken up for the first time!

The Nuggets are not only strong in helping to defend, but also in the individual defense of the players!

The Raptors' offense still hasn't progressed, and to be honest, Anthony has played a lot of spirit in that shot just now.

But who would have thought that AK would be able to complete the cap even after being shaken off.

Now, the Raptors still have 0 points and haven't scored for half a day.

The Toronto fans at the scene watched the basketball game and were stunned to see the anxiety of the football game.

At this time, all Toronto fans can only comfort themselves: "It's okay, the next round, the next round will definitely go in!" In the game of basketball, where is the reason for not scoring all the time. ”

However five minutes later.

This time, Anthony received a pass from Calderón and directly chose to force AK.

After five minutes of play, the Raptors had figured out. The best way to break the game is to find gaps and seize opportunities before the Nuggets' pinch shots are in place.

But Kirilenko stuck to Anthony very tightly, and Angua didn't have a chance to shoot at all.

So when he suddenly reached the right side of the three-second zone, Anthony suddenly pushed the AK47, and then stopped and retreated!

Originally, it was difficult for AK47 to brake the car due to inertia, but when Anthony pushed it like this, it went straight out of the bottom line.

Therefore, Angua, who stopped and retreated sharply, now has a complete opportunity to vacate a large vacancy!

But.

I don't know if it's because he was so defended so hard before, so that he suddenly got such a big vacancy, Anthony didn't seem to react.

After shaking off Kirilenko, Antony did not strike immediately.

Instead, he stood in place and was stunned for a moment before making a move, as if the power had just suddenly cut off!

If it's against other teams, then Anthony may be stunned for a while.

But in the face of the Nuggets, Anthony was stunned for a moment before making a move, and the result changed from a good opportunity to a good opportunity to be directly attacked by Big Ben!

Even if you hesitate for a fraction of a second, the Nuggets won't give you another chance!

Sam. Mitchell is convinced, the team finally saw such an opportunity to break the scoring drought, Angua, why are you stunned at this time!

That's right, it's been five minutes into the first quarter, but the Raptors are still scoring 0! Still haven't been able to break the scoring drought!

It was an eye-opener for Toronto fans, and it wasn't easy to play a football game without shooting for 90 minutes.

It's not easy to think about a basketball game with 1 point in 5 minutes!

For a full 5 minutes, the Raptors, who scored third in the league, were stunned and didn't score a point!

Next time and next time, next time and next time, there are countless bosses next time!

Mitchell had to take a timeout of the game, feeling like his team was completely stunned.

Anthony hesitated just now when he had the opportunity, isn't this stunned?

As a manager, he has to wake up this group of young people!

After the players were all off the pitch, Sam. Mitchell angrily stood in front of the bench: "I don't ask you to guard Ryan, but. Who the fuck can score a goal on the Nuggets' head, even one! ”

However, in the face of Sam. Mitchell roared impassionedly, but the entire Raptors team was silent.

Scoring a goal in a basketball game isn't even a requirement.

Even an offensive player like Big Ben averages 1.9 goals per game.

However in the face of Sam. Mitchell's request to "score a goal", but the whole Raptors team did not dare to say anything.

The Nuggets' defense has made them desperate!

It's only the first quarter, and they already want to end the game and end this shameful night!

Sam. Mitchell originally wanted to boost morale, but this time it made the atmosphere even more awkward.

Finally, it's Caron. Butler stood up and clapped his hands:

"Together, we'll get through it!"

The game resumed, but the Raptors' offense was still a mess.

Although the Raptors have the third-most points in the league, unlike teams such as the Suns, the Raptors' offense is actually very simple, that is, Anthony and Caron. Butler took turns playing singles, and then they were caught in the middle and passed the ball to their teammates.

Because four of the starting five can shoot, this simple and crude way is exactly right for the Raptors, and they play well.

But today, in the face of the Nuggets, who did not give a chance to vacate the position after the pack, the Raptors' way of playing to survive was directly abolished.

Therefore, it is very difficult for the Raptors to score right now.

The Raptors are still playing iron or making mistakes.

The most outrageous thing is that the Raptors didn't even get a foul.

Because they have been pinched, there are not many opportunities for the Raptors to break through.

Even if he can occasionally burst inside, he is either blocked or unable to make a layup under a fierce confrontation.

For five minutes, the Raptors didn't score.

For six minutes, the Raptors didn't score.

Nine minutes passed, and the Raptors still didn't score!

You don't say Sam. Mitchell, even Jeff. Van Gundy's commentary is stupid:

"There are only 3 minutes left before the end of the first quarter, and the Raptors still haven't scored in a sports battle!

Now the score is 18-0!

I can't imagine how horrible the Nuggets' defense is! ”

While Van Gundy sighed, the Internet was even more lively:

"I'm rubbing, so it seems that the Raptors have a hard time scoring 10 points in the first quarter!"

"It's outrageous! AK47 + Ryan + Atay + Big Ben, this is simply the most outrageous defensive combination in history! ”

"I feel like the Lakers, even with Gasol, won't be able to stop the Nuggets from returning to the top spot in the West. Will the Nuggets really lose with such a defense? ”

All the fans were stunned by this defense, and even many Lakers fans put down their keyboards.

They suddenly felt that a three-game lead was not safe at all!

At this moment, no one will doubt whether the Nuggets can seize the opportunity to narrow the win.

Taking advantage of the Lakers' loss to the Hawks to close the winning gap is already a sure thing for the Nuggets.

Now people are curious about how long it will take for the Raptors to score the first point of this game!

To be honest, the Raptors can not score for nine minutes today, in addition to the Nuggets' defense is particularly good, the Raptors' own confidence is also very problematic.

It may be because the Raptors were a little nervous because they suddenly encountered such a high-intensity defense, so that they finally got the opportunity, and they either didn't dare to shoot, or they shot in a particularly hasty way and caused the iron to strike.

So I didn't score a single goal for nine minutes.

Fortunately, Anthony hit a drifting shot against AK47 and finally broke the scoring drought.

I thought that this goal would be the beginning of the Raptors' counterattack and would completely break the ice.

Who knew that after this ball, the Raptors began to hit the iron like crazy again!

The 2-point score was maintained until the 11th minute of the first quarter!

At this point, both sides already have substitutes on the field.

However, Anthony and Ryan still didn't play, and they were ready to play the first quarter directly!

Anthony's reason for not taking a break is simple, Sam. Mitchell undoubtedly hopes that Anthony can score another point, and it is outrageous to score 2 points in a single quarter.

And Bird let Ryan play the whole first quarter directly to see how much this defense can press the opponent. So, keep Ryan on the field to defend the melons.

Raptors fans were nervous to death, with 2 points in a single quarter. This kind of thing is actually not unfamiliar to Raptors fans.

On February 8, 2004, the Raptors played a game of 2 points in a single quarter.

However, it was not the Raptors who scored 2 points in a single quarter at that time, but the Clippers, the opponent of the Raptors.

In that game, the Clippers shot 1 of 13 in the fourth quarter, made no free throws, and scored only 2 points in a single quarter, tying the NBA's record for the lowest scoring in a single quarter.

Raptors fans can't imagine that now, four years later, the 2-point incident in a single quarter actually happened to them.

If Angua can't score next, this all-time lowest single-quarter scoring record will be tied by the Raptors themselves!

No, it must not be so shameful!

Angua, you're working hard!

Angua also wants to work hard, but Ryan gives too much!

There's too much pressure on the defense!

In the next few rounds, Anthony tried to score repeatedly under Ryan's defense, but couldn't make the trip.

Although now the Nuggets are on the bench because of the reason for coming off the bench, the team's overall defensive strength is definitely not as strong as before.

But Ryan's single defense will not be affected.

So after coming off the bench, the Nuggets switched to a strict man-to-man defense.

As a result, the rest of the Raptors didn't get much of a chance, and Anthony had to fight Ryan hard if he wanted to score.

On the Raptors' scoring column, the number "2" has been hanging for a long time.

Until the last 27 seconds of the first quarter, the Raptors' score remained at 2 points!

Now that the score has become 25-2, the Nuggets directly led the Raptors by 23 points in the first quarter!

At this point, the ball belongs to the Raptors.

Whether the Raptors can get rid of the title of "the lowest scoring record in a single quarter" depends on this offense.

Anthony knew very well that it was not the way to continue to wear out like this with Ryan.

So in this round, he deliberately played without the ball and found several off-ball covers.

Finally, 10 seconds before the end of offensive time, Anthony shook off Ryan with a screen.

Although Millsap, who came off the bench, immediately switched to Anthony, Anthony didn't care.

As long as it's not Ryan defending him, he has a chance to score!

In the face of Millsap's single defense, Anthony finally regained a trace of confidence.

Although Millsap is in the fourth position, he is almost exactly the same height as Agua and weighs a lot.

Therefore, Anthony directly chose to play with his back to his back!

He used his strong body to push back, and Millsap, who wasn't so good defensively at this time, struggled to resist Anthony's back.

When he reached the position of one step in the penalty area, Anthony suddenly rolled over and made a jumper!

This time the offense looked very fluid, and it turned out that it wasn't that Anthony was too weak, but that the defense was too strong just now!

As long as there is a change in defense, Angua can still score.

Anthony calmly threw the ball, and the basketball went over Millsap's fingertips.

Raptors fans cheered, this shot looks like it can be scored!

Although 4 points in a single quarter is also embarrassing, at least it did not tie the record low!

However, the next scene plunged all Toronto fans into an extreme cold.

Because they saw that Ryan ran up from behind, turned 180° in the air to face the basketball, and then grabbed this turnaround jumper directly through Millsap!

That's right, it's quite outrageous that this ball can be covered.

But Lane, he was stunned and grabbed this ball directly! A 180° turn in the air to catch the risk!

Originally, Ryan's height, reach, and speed allowed him to play some amazing blocks often.

And after obtaining the talent fragment that can increase the speed of the cap that can increase the speed of the block, Ryan's blocking ability is undoubtedly more perverted!

A goddess who is already convex and backward also adds double hey silk, which can undoubtedly make a person's attack speed break through the limit.

Similarly, Ryan is already physically perverted, and he also increases the speed of the bullet, which makes it not surprising that he plays any kind of block!

Ryan's block stunned all the fans around the world who were watching the game.

Even Director Zhang was incoherent: "This cap is really unreasonable!" ”

After Ryan covered the basketball, he put the ball directly on the ground in front of the Raptors generals who were directly stunned.

Then, the first quarter of the game was just over.

Ryan's block made the Toronto Raptors' single-quarter score still stay at 2 points!

Tied the NBA's record for the lowest score in a single quarter!

In the first quarter of the Nuggets' first start, the Nuggets' full lineup prevented the opponent from tying the record for the lowest score in a single quarter!

In front of the TV, Bryant's mouth was wide open enough to shove Shaq's head.

He also provoked in front of the media before that no matter how strong the Nuggets' defense is, it is impossible to prevent opponents from scoring less than double digits in a single quarter.

outcome

This Nima is not a double-digit problem, it is not even a 2-point breakthrough!

Even Kobe admitted that he was full of crisis at this time!

If the team loses to the Eagles again, it is easy to lose games that should not be lost.

The first seat in the West will really be snatched away!

Ryan's team is really perverted!

On the court, after putting down the basketball, Ryan patted Anthony on the shoulder:

"I'm really sorry for Guagua, but you shouldn't be too uncomfortable, right? After all, I said it a long time ago, so that you are mentally prepared. ”

Anthony:

Ryan, why didn't you tell me earlier, you were seriously reminding!

In this way, the shame of 2 points in a single quarter was completely pasted on the Raptors.

The bad news: the all-time record for the lowest score is still set.

Good news: The Raptors can't score 2 points in a single quarter every quarter!

Thinking about the good side of everything, although the first quarter was much behind, at least the next three quarters of the Raptors had a full time to change their lives!

Raptors fans thought the darkest and scariest part of the game was over.

However.

Maybe because the record of 2 points in a single quarter is too exciting, so no one has noticed it for the time being, and Ryan has three blocks in a single quarter!

A three-point block to Baryani, and a flip on the inside to Nesterovich.

And just covered the melon with an earth-shattering catch.

And according to the description of Big Ben's talent fragment, after completing more than three blocks, the shooting feel can be greatly improved!

That said, while it's been a while since he got this talent shard, Ryan has never triggered the effect of "greatly improved shooting feel".

No way, it's really not so common to have more than three blocks in a single game.

And today, Ryan only needs one more block to meet the conditions!

The feel has been greatly improved, what kind of Dafa is it? Can it be bigger than the D'Addario hand?

Ryan can't wait to give it a try!

If you can get another block quickly in the future, this game.

The Raptors thought the darkest hour was over.

However, the best days are yet to come!
