Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 276 The Contest Between Scorers
Evans is a very strange player in the league. This is not only reflected in his obsession with rebounding, but also on the defensive end. His defense is always full of confrontation, generally excellent defense Players will reserve space for themselves to make adjustments to prevent the opponent from making big feints or taking breakthroughs, but he is not like this. When he is defending, he always makes physical contact with the opponent at the first time. This time is no exception.

After Anthony and Brand picked and rolled, he ran into Anthony, and directly headed up, spread his hands, and kept hitting Anthony in small ways, making the latter feel very uncomfortable.

Anthony felt Evans' move, and couldn't help frowning. To be precise, Evans' defense full of small moves is not considered a foul, but this kind of move is what makes the players feel the most annoying. So after being pushed by Evans a few times, he was obviously bored, turned around suddenly, punched Evans on the back, and pushed in head-on.

Anthony originally planned to push him away, and then turned around and shot backwards, but at this moment, Evans suddenly fell backwards, and fell straight on the ground with his hands raised high.

Anthony felt a light on his back, looked back and saw Evans fell to the ground, he was ready to shoot, but at this moment, the referee's whistle sounded suddenly, and then pointed at Anthony.

Anthony frowned. He didn't expect that he underestimated this rebounding idiot. There was such a delicate side under this rough appearance, but he was not angry. Seeing Evans stand up with a smile, he also smiled. , then shook his head and ran to the backcourt.

The Supersonics' offense was almost the same as before, with double pick-and-roll tactics, but this time, Ray Allen ran to a 45-degree angle, and Lewis ran to the baseline. The Golden team's defense is not a small challenge. The difference between Ray Allen and Lewis is not big or small. The key lies in their speed, running speed and shooting speed. After Rand went out of defense, Ray Allen's speed was obviously a little faster. Ridnor also directly chose to pass the ball. Ray Allen followed the ball and was ready to shoot, but the moment he raised his hand, he It stopped suddenly, because at this moment, Anthony, who arrived later, rushed forward before Brand.

Anthony had a solid pick-and-roll in the previous round, so it is naturally impossible to suffer such a loss in the next round, so when the Sonics almost used the same tactic, he successfully bypassed Evans defended, and then rushed towards Ray Allen, which was equivalent to forming a double-team defense against Ray Allen in an instant, and after going up, he immediately formed physical contact with Ray Allen, preventing him from Chance to breathe and look for passing opportunities.

Almost at the same time, Anthony quickly reached out to break the ball in Ray Allen's hand. Although Ray Allen played steadily, he had not played for a long time in the league. He did not expect Anthony to play in such a short time. It appeared within time, and it made him feel uncomfortable all of a sudden, and he couldn't stand upright even if he wanted to pass the ball, so Anthony seemed a little caught off guard when he cut the ball. Suddenly, the ball in his hand "slapped" was broken.

After Anthony stole the ball, he rushed forward like a cheetah, but he was not alone, because at the same time, Ridnour of the Sonics had already quickly stuck to him and was cut off. After the ball, Ray Allen also quickly retreated to the half court, and someone came to pinch back and forth. Obviously he didn't want to give Anthony a chance to make an easy shot.

Anthony was about to encounter a double attack while he was walking, but he did not forget to observe the situation on the court. After playing with the current Nuggets teammates for so long, the Supersonics can retreat so quickly. His teammates Our third-line fast break must have been formed earlier, so he naturally raised his eyes, and as expected, the two outside players of the Nuggets, Korver and Nash, have already moved from left to right. , although the position is not as high as that of Ridnor and Ray Allen, but because of the superiority in numbers, as long as they move forward, they will naturally be able to occupy the advantage.

Ridnor has been playing with the team since he was selected by the Supersonics in 03. He is able to secure the position of the team's starting point guard so quickly. He has a high basketball IQ. As a defender, he creates troubles for Anthony on offense, and at the same time, he also pays close attention to the Nuggets' offensive situation. After seeing the Nuggets' third-line fast break formed in such a short period of time, he I was taken aback at first, and then immediately signaled Ray Allen to go up to double-team. At this time, Anthony must not be allowed to advance. If Korver and Nash are in the same position as them, then their defensive posture will be there. It will collapse completely in an instant.

Anthony was slightly surprised when he saw that Ridnour suddenly rushed forward to intercept his ball regardless of the danger of a defensive foul, but he immediately made a move that Ridnor did not expect. With the last pull, it seems that he is ready to pass the ball to Nash behind him.

After Ridnor saw Anthony's choice, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Anthony's choice is a very wise choice during the third-line fast break, but at this moment other players on both sides are also retreating, and Lewis is also following closely at this moment. The attack is likely to end in failure.

Ridnour and Ray Allen were ready to spread out to both sides, ready to enter the next defensive posture, and even Nash was ready to catch the ball, but at this moment, Anthony's next move was completely It was completely beyond their expectations.

Anthony was about to swipe the ball backwards, but then he slid the ball to the left suddenly. The original passing action instantly turned into a dribble behind the back, and then Ridnor and Ray Allen just opened up some defensive gaps. In the middle, the ball came first, and the man rushed over after the ball was divided.

At this moment, the three of them had passed the center line, and they were about to enter the three-point line in the backcourt of the Sonics. After Anthony suddenly passed between the two, it looked as if Anthony broke through the double-teaming of the two. There was a feeling of overwhelming momentum, and the fans at the scene were immediately felt by his invisible atmosphere, and there was no need for anyone to lead them, and they shouted crazily towards the field.

"Melo! Melo!..."

The huge sound was overwhelming, and it felt that if it was higher, it could overturn the arena. It felt as if Anthony had done something to make them excited enough.

In fact, what Anthony is going to do is indeed worth exciting them.

Anthony took advantage of the time when the two of them were stunned for a while, and after piercing through the middle of the two of them, unexpectedly, he accelerated and rushed forward.

After a few breaths, he suddenly rushed to the free throw line. At this distance, Ridnor and Ray Allen, who followed closely behind, had no way to stop Anthony. Anthony was also cheering from the fans at the scene In the middle, he completely lived up to the expectations of the audience. He pulled the ball up with one hand with his right hand, and then glided towards the basket with a graceful posture to dunk.

The surrounding spotlights were everywhere, and the audience's cheers also reached a peak.

"boom!"

With a muffled sound, Anthony glided and dunked with one hand, shaking the basket.

The fans at the scene suddenly added another decibel, even overshadowing the voice of the on-site commentator. The cheers expressed the excitement in their hearts. They had a feeling since the last game , Anthony's dunk even more shows that the familiar Melo, the familiar Nuggets team is coming back soon!

The cheers of the fans at the scene were overwhelming, but Anthony, who was in the center, seemed very calm. After he dunked, he waved at the audience and immediately turned around and stepped back to defend. Carl told them that the Sonics are a team that likes to play fast, especially the fast offense launched after the opponent scores a goal.

On the field, it was indeed as Carl said, after Anthony dunked, after the fallen Ray Allen picked up the ball, he quickly threw the ball to Ridnour who was in possession of the ball, and then he quickly moved forward.

However, their offense ended in failure, because when Anthony retreated, he signaled his teammates while retreating. Therefore, as they advanced, the Nuggets defended at a very fast speed. It was formed.

If the quick attack fails, they can only fall back into the position. After learning the lesson from the last time, they did not continue to use the previous offensive tactics. Instead, after they settled down, Lewis and Ray Allen made an off-ball pick-and-roll. Individuals attempt to swap defenders.

But how could Anthony let them succeed easily? He kept shrinking back to prevent their pick-and-roll from being successful. As a result, time wasted, and their pick-and-roll stunned did not achieve much effective results.

Seeing that the pick-and-roll failed without the ball, they did not give up. Ray Allen suddenly went to the inside, and then Ridnor's pass was very accurate. After Ray Allen received the ball, he suddenly broke through to the inside.

At this time, Brand and Nene were still under the basket of the Nuggets. This time it was Nene who was close to Ray Allen. When he saw Ray Allen approaching, he rushed over to block it.

Ray Allen has always been well-known in the league for his steady three-pointers, but as long as the SuperSonics fans know, Ray Allen's offensive ability is definitely not limited to three-pointers.
