Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 213 God descends from the sky

Anthony scored the first ball back from a timeout for the Nuggets.

The Nuggets bench let out a roar of excitement, and the fringe players who were waving the towels were waving the towels vigorously at the moment. From their angle, it was obvious that Bowen had fouled, so Anthony made a hit. This shot can be said to be very morale-boosting.

However, Anthony's mood didn't fluctuate much at the moment. He just looked up at the score on the court. The Nuggets were still 9 points behind.

In the offense of the Spurs, Parker made use of a small throw and threw the ball into the basket when his body lost his balance. He also scored two points for the Spurs.

Looking back, it was the Nuggets' offense again. Anthony received the ball in the same position this time, and this time he chose to open his hands and shoot.

With a crisp sound of "swish", Anthony made a light three-pointer, bringing the Nuggets closer again.

Watching Anthony's performance, Popovich couldn't help but shake his head again and again. To say that he is quite satisfied with the Spurs' defense at the moment, it's just that he didn't expect Anthony to have such a fiery touch after he came on the court.

However, the competitive state of the Spurs players is not bad. Ginobili used the pick-and-roll, and with Bell's hand almost touching his face, he hit a difficult mid-range shot, once again stabilizing the situation for the Spurs.

Looking back, Anthony was not to be outdone, and after holding the ball from the outside, he accelerated and broke through. This time, he deliberately chose the referee's side to break through the corner, and then made an emergency stop shot.

Because it was under the nose of the referee, Bowen didn't dare to take it lightly this time, and Anthony's shot this time easily scored two more points for the Nuggets.

In just a few minutes, the two teams staged a super-efficient offensive and defensive battle. Both sides defended very hard, but they couldn't stop the players from playing miraculously.

At times like this, the fans who watched the game enjoyed the most. The fierce confrontation and super-efficient offense made their whole body tense all the time.

The wonderful confrontation caused the two commentators to temporarily stop commenting, but instead focused their attention on the field. The confrontation between you and me is still going on.

Duncan leaned on Wang Zhizhi to get two points with a hook here, and Anthony rushed inside, broke through and scored a layup, and at the same time caused Bowen's thug foul, which was the latter's fourth foul of the game. Penalties further approached the score.

But before the Nuggets could breathe a sigh of relief, Ginobili faced Korver with an unreasonable pull-up three-pointer after the outside pick-and-roll, once again stabilizing the situation for the Spurs.

The fans at the scene were really stunned. After returning from this timeout, it was as if the two teams had been cast by magic.

The game entered the last 4 minutes without knowing it. The Spurs led the Nuggets by 109 points 102:7. After Anthony came up, he fulfilled his previous promise and scored all the points of the team, 10 points.

At this moment, both sides made personnel adjustments. The Spurs sent all the starters to the field, while the Nuggets replaced Wang Zhizhi with Brand.

The last 4 minutes of the two sides is also the 4 minutes of the final decisive battle between the two teams.

Still the Nuggets attacked first, Williams gave the ball to Anthony very habitually, and then greeted other teammates to start running.

Anthony took a look at the Spurs' defense. At the moment, the focus of defense is obviously on his side. As long as the coach is not too bad, he will choose to double-team Anthony at this moment, let alone Popovich. Yes, but Popovich is obviously smarter. He is now two defenders, one in front and one behind, and Ginobili is behind him. He can withdraw to defend Bell at any time.

Anthony took a look, he didn't say anything, he just rushed in, he intentionally leaned towards the position of realization, and he never made a three-step layup, until he was completely inside, he did this He made a shooting action, and in this action, he did not use a jumper, but a large one-handed lick.

Bowen was in front of Anthony at the moment. Originally, if Anthony made a fadeaway shot, he should have been in a position where he would not be able to defend properly, but this licking the blue was right in his arms, and he directly moved towards Anthony. The shot racket passed.

But at this moment, the situation suddenly changed. Anthony, who had already taken a shooting posture, suddenly stretched out his other hand. He didn't make any extra movements, just put his hand on the left side of the ball to protect the ball.

Bowen had already shot to block the shot at this moment, Anthony's sudden extra hand caught him off guard, and he slapped him directly.

There was a "snap", the clear sound of thugs, and the action was under the referee's nose. Even if the referee favored the home whistle, he dared not stop blowing it now.

With a beep, Anthony caused Bowen's foul and made two free throws.

This is also Bowen's fifth personal foul. Popovich hesitated on the sidelines and replaced Bowen with Horry.

Watching the personnel adjustment of the Spurs, Anthony showed an imperceptible smile. He didn't aim to score the ball just now, but to foul Bowen.

Although there are many small moves, Bowen is obviously a player with outstanding defensive ability in the Spurs team. If he is off the field, Anthony's offense will definitely become a lot easier.

Horry is a very successful role player, although he has always been a role player, but before coming to the Spurs, he has already won 5 championship rings, which is a very great achievement, of course he is not He has earned his reputation, and his performance at critical moments is why he has always been favored by strong teams.

After playing, Ginobili made a serpentine breakthrough to score the ball, and Horry used the pick-and-roll to hit a three-pointer. He made a contribution as soon as he played. Horry's magic immediately caused a burst of excited cheers from the fans at the scene.

"Haha, I knew that Robert is still young." Robinson looked at Horry's miraculous performance and couldn't help but praise loudly. Although he could not be a teammate, but as an opponent, he also knew Horry very well. and familiar.

However, before the Spurs players had time to celebrate, Anthony made a three-pointer after halftime.

There was a three-pointer with a "swish", and there was an instant silence in the SBC arena.

After a long time, Smith said with a face full of shock: "My God, let me see, Melo has contributed 16 points in a row since he came on the court, and he scored all the points of the Nuggets. My God, what is this? What kind of guy is able to perform so miraculously at such a time!"

"This player..." Robinson looked at Anthony, and finally couldn't help but said, "It reminds me of the basketball god back then."

The Spurs' offense continued, but this time Duncan's offense was blocked by Brand abruptly, who even squeezed Duncan away abruptly and took the ball into his arms.

"The captain's iron blood seems to be back. I don't think the game will be decided until the end." Smith looked at the 4-point difference on the court and said, licking his dry lips.

The game continued. Anthony was double-teamed by the Spurs as soon as he held the ball this time. He directly distributed the ball to Bell on the outside. Bell took advantage of the Spurs' defense and didn't come up to shoot directly.

It's just that Bell is not Korver after all. When the ball was shot, it was a little crooked. With a "bang", the ball pumped out of the basket.

This ball was the first ball the Nuggets missed after a timeout.

Ostrovic at the basket was ready to pocket the ball, but at this moment, a hand suddenly appeared behind him.

"Take that board!" Popovich shouted at Ostrovic from the sidelines.

But obviously, it was too late. Brand's ankle seemed to heal suddenly at this moment. He took off the offensive rebound suddenly, glanced out, and then threw it directly to Anthony at the free throw line.

Without any hesitation, Anthony got up in three steps and faced Duncan's defense with a "washing machine roundabout". With a muffled "bang", the ball directly dressed the man frame.

With the last 1 minute left in the game, the Nuggets have chased the point difference to the last 2 points.

Popovich on the sidelines finally couldn't bear it, and called a timeout with a wave of his big hand.

"Defend the ball, and the victory belongs to us!"

D'Antoni yelled at the Nuggets players who were leaving the court. At this moment, this is the only thing he asks of the players.

"Take this ball and we can go home and sleep!"

Also on the other side, Popovich yelled at the Spurs players.

This is a game, and the next minute will determine the final result of the game between the two players.

The audience on the sidelines held their breath and concentrated their attention on the field.

Back from the timeout was the Spurs' offense. After Parker dribbled outside for about ten seconds and failed to find a chance, he flicked the ball to Ginobili on the right, and Ginobili passed the ball directly Duncan on the inside.

Duncan faced Brand, this is a very interesting confrontation. ,

Duncan is sinking his shoulders, and Brand is also sinking his shoulders. Both of them are very familiar with each other's offensive methods, so at the moment they face each other, both of them know how to maximize their advantages.

Duncan turned around and started to attack. He made a feint to the left and stepped on his feet to make a fake move. Brand was not fooled. Then he made a right tactic and made a hook movement, but Brand was still not fooled.

Duncan tried two fake moves but failed to fool Brand. He simply leaned back and made a turn and lean back shot near the ring.

Brand jumped up suddenly, and Duncan's shot was successfully predicted by him.

However, Duncan is much taller than Brand. After the shot, the ball successfully flew over Brand's fingertips and flew towards the basket.

Duncan didn't use the board this time, but the angle of the ball was very positive, and it looked like the kind of ball that must be scored.
