This Forward is Not Serious

In the VIP box of the stands, Kroenke stood at the window and gently shook the red wine glass in his hand.

Compared with the last time, his expression is much more serious.

After all, the Nuggets are now a team in the upper half, but they are 1-3 behind.

In this case, you can’t laugh if you want to laugh.

But listening to Walkendian excitedly telling how he and Billups brought Anthony back to milk, he was a little more interested.

Although reversal is a cliché, it is also a big charm of competitive sports.

And the reason why he will put aside things in Europe regardless of the continuous viewing of this year's playoffs, is also because of the original choice.

Although he doesn't need to back up the pot, as a "game player", he still wants to see his actions proved to be correct in the end.

…

During the warm-up session, the on-site photographer has been splitting shots for Lin Ying and Anthony.

Although the Nuggets made a lot of preparations before the game, no one can guarantee that they will continue the series.

If you can't, tonight will be the last game between Lin Ying and Anthony this season.

Of course, it is also the last time the fans discussed the entanglement between the two.

So the opportunity has to be seized.

Lin Ying's hand feels tonight looks quite hot, almost without any shots.

He warmed up for a while and then went to sit on the sidelines.

The hot touch was a bit beyond his own expectations, but he couldn't use it all up before the game.

Nash practiced for a while and lay down on the sidelines.

His feel tonight is rather average.

"Lend me some."

He stretched out his hand, laughing and joking with Lin Ying.

Lin Ying decisively refused.

Speaking of which, Nash always licks his hand with his tongue and touches the sole of his shoe every time he takes a free throw...

The warm-up is over quickly, followed by the appearance ceremony.

When the Nuggets players made their debut, the fans on the scene showed great enthusiasm and cheers were endless.

This strong "smoke of gunpowder."

After the opening ceremony, the starting roster of the two teams was released:

Nuggets: Billups, Afflaro, Anthony, Kleiza, Nene

Suns: Nash, Tony Allen, Caron Butler, Lin Ying, Stoudemire

The Suns still started in the first few games, but the Nuggets have a lineup adjustment.

Kleiza replaced Jamison's starting position.

In the explosive cheers, Nene leaped high and dialed the ball back to the Nuggets halftime.

The G5 of the series of the two sides is also the last stand of the Nuggets officially kicked off!

Anthony, he ran without the ball in the first round!

A catch and shoot with Nene and Nene rushed to the opponent's pick-and-roll.

"Huh!"

Hand up the knife and drop.

This move has had a great impact on the players on both sides.

Because it represents an attitude, Anthony is willing to make sacrifices in order to win.

Lin Ying was also very surprised.

Because... if Anthony was willing to play like this, the Nuggets might have won a championship!

Of course, Lin Ying couldn't install a monitor on Anthony, and naturally didn't know the conversation between Billups and Anthony in the living room.

"Do you know why Michael has the ability to score 50 points but only scores 40 points per night?"

"Because he likes to pretend?"

"Ah, that's only one aspect. What's more important is that his experience in Ncaa made him know that basketball is a sport of five people. You can make your teammates feel involved and their enthusiasm will be high.

For example, it is also a dry-draw shot. What is the difference between you taking the ball and four people watching you draw, and you borrowing a teammate to pick and roll out to catch the ball and shoot? "

"No difference?"

"Of course there is a sense of participation! After you score a goal, your teammates will have a sense of participation, and he will be more willing to pick and roll for you, and block better ones!"

…

At the tip of the iceberg, Billups spent a pound of saliva that day.

The mage consumes mana.

Of course, the low intelligence of the caster is also one aspect.

But the effect is remarkable. Now the loudest voice in Anthony's mind is:

He wants to bottom out, he wants to match Jordan!

The Suns played a pick-and-roll tactic in the first wave of offense, but failed.

Kleiza's defense is much better than Jamison, and his lateral shifting ability is not bad, just to make up for Anthony's fear of pick-and-rolls.

Of course, more importantly, enthusiasm!

The Nuggets' defensive enthusiasm is higher than at any moment in the series!

This directly caused their assisted defense placement rate to skyrocket, and that was precisely the seven inches of the Suns' tactics.

An important reason why the Suns are so restrained by the Celtics in the regular season is that Rivers uses the inside combination of Garnett and Wallace, and the defensive rate is high enough to produce oppression.

This kind of oppressiveness has strong restraint on team basketball.

G1 has actually had such a period, but it is not obvious because it is a replacement link.

Now the Nuggets started with this intensity when they started, and the Suns started passively.

Although this is certainly not the defensive level that the Nuggets should have, obviously on and off the court factors make them very different tonight!

Then, the Nuggets' offense in the next round was also blocked by the Suns!

Lin Ying, commanding his teammates to defensively!

Many things seem to be related to personality, but in fact, many times it depends on whether you have the courage to take the first step.

G1 Lin Ying started to remind his teammates to defend, and now he is used to giving orders to his teammates!

Stoudemire's mid-range jumper was still wide after the frontcourt dismantled, and Billups changed defense very quickly.

Looking back, Billups tried to break from Nash's point, but Lin Ying's contraction was timely.

As for the misplacement of the Nash Suns, they don't give it to the Nash Suns. They all go around the pick and roll to give the Nuggets a certain amount of shooting space.

Billups tried an outside shot but failed.

Playing for almost two minutes, the score on the court: 2 to 0!

The fans at the scene looked a little dazed.

Is this the Nuggets playing the sun?

It's obviously the Pistons playing the Spurs!

The defensive intensity of the two teams in the opening game is a bit high!

The two sides played for more than 5 minutes and the score was 8 to 2 on the field!

The Suns scored 2 points on free throws by Nash, yet they have not scored a sports goal!

Offense and defense are always opposite and interdependent. After putting physical energy into defense, the inevitable result is offensive ups and downs.

Moreover, the Suns failed to make a few shots from the outside, and their touch tonight was relatively average.

On the contrary, the Nuggets seem to be more adaptable in this rhythm of the game.

Although the Nuggets feel the same on the outside, both outside attempts ended up with irons. It is certainly not the Suns that affects the feel of the defense.

But they can rely on Anthony's mid-range to increase points!

Six of the eight points the Nuggets scored came from Anthony's mid-range, two goals were scored and one resulted in a two-point foul.

"Middle distance to kill"!

As I said before, in this kind of bayonet hand-to-hand combat, the middle distance can kill people!

Gentry was a little anxious, got up to the sidelines and shouted to make the team's rhythm fast.

But the Nuggets' defense tonight is tight, and the Suns can't get up soon. On the contrary, they have an average outside touch and play a bit out of order.

13 to 4.

After playing a half-quarter time ball, the Suns have fallen behind by double digits.

Gentry reached out and called a timeout.

The cheers on the scene came and went one after another, and they seemed to have seen the scene of the team's reversal!

In the VIP box, Kroenke increased his strength to shake the red wine glass, and then drank it in one fell swoop.

During the timeout, everyone on the Suns was panting.

This defensive battle is obviously not their rhythm.

After a pause, Gentry held the tactical board with his brain running at high speed.

This is the targeting that Lin Ying said before, but this targeting is more advanced.

The general target is only for the players, but this is directly against the Suns' offensive system.

This is mostly Billups' handwriting.

Coincidentally, it caught up with the night that the Suns had a general feel.

This is a great test, but it is also a great opportunity.

If the Suns can win such a game, then this team will no longer be afraid of this rhythm of the game, and the strength will be even higher.

The picture in his mind freezes the part of what happened at the current stage of the G1 bench, and finally fixes his eyes on Lin Ying.

It's definitely not enough to fight this unsuitable rhythm with the Nuggets, but the failure of previous attempts shows that it is difficult to change this rhythm.

But the Nuggets themselves are not good at defensively, and it is now due to enthusiasm.

Positivity is a good thing, but enthusiasm without excellent defensive skills inevitably means a lot of physical energy consumption.

As long as the Nuggets' defensive strength comes down, the game will still return to the rhythm the Suns like.

So the key lies in how the Suns can sustain this period.

"Um?"

Lin Ying noticed Gentry's gaze.

With eyes facing each other, he directly spoke:

"I'll play singles."

Lin Ying certainly didn't know how to read minds, but he thought about the same as Gentry thought.

This is what he means to this Suns team now.

He is like a super big patch, Gentry G1 post-match press conference said "the perfect complement to the sun's tactical system."

Smart people don’t need much language communication.

Gentry made substitutions and adjustments, and then took the tactical board and began to arrange.

The timeout came back, the Suns changed and adjusted, Quentin Richardson replaced Tony Allen.

This is the best lineup in the Suns' existing space.

Lin Ying received the ball in the high post and Kleiza was defending him.

Kleiza is about the same height as Anthony, but he weighs 5 kilograms more.

This made him even less disadvantaged when defending Lin Ying.

Lin Ying tried a wave of bad chances, and after returning the ball to Nash, he went straight down.

He and Kleiza hardly grab the best position in the low offensive that Barkley said.

This kind of card position warring Lin Ying was already very skilled, Kleiza couldn't hold it.

And Nash's pass was very timely, almost the moment Lin Ying got stuck in the position.

Lin Ying quickly launched an attack after catching the ball, hitting a big butt, and then using her height advantage to directly turn around and hit the board with one hand.

This is Duncan's most common way of scoring.

He used to think Duncan used this more because of his physical flexibility.

But in fact, it is more about the core strength and the advanced air balance ability of the core strength.

With the improvement of Grover's training, it also has more confidence in this way of shooting.

Kleiza has nothing to do.

Because Lin Ying stretched the distance between the two with his hips, and he was at a disadvantage with his height and arm span, he had nothing to do except raise his hand to interfere.

"boom!"

Lin Ying's board hit the board accurately, and after rebounding, he steadily fell into the net bag.

This combines the low offensive skills of Barkley and Duncan, mainly highlighting the word "stable".

The Suns finally renewed their scoring!

But looking back, Anthony broke through the ball after a single game, and the collision between Nene and Stoudemire's tough guy caused the latter to foul defensively.

Two free throws were made, and the Nuggets also continued to increase points.

And when Lin Ying went to the front court, Anthony took the initiative to change his defense.

Anthony didn't play Anthony very well tonight, but it was exactly what Carl and Billups both expected to see.

There are singles, passing, and defense!

A real super giant!

Such an Anthony is really hard to deal with!

Of course, Lin Ying did not give up or play pick-and-rolls, but a very positive singles.

Hold the ball, change direction, break through, and hit the board against the turn and hook.

"boom!"

This time the shot went wide.

But before Anthony could grab this rebound, he had already taken off quickly and completed a tip-up with the other hand!

This trick, but Duncan has suffered!

The bench for the Suns was boiling, and Holiday's towel danced.

Lin Ying hit the low post and hit the high post. This single is a bit fierce!

Lin Ying: Low-key and low-key, all set off by opponents.

On the sidelines, Carl touched his chin, looking at Lin Ying, both happy and a little sad.

After Lin Ying's possession of the ball was further improved, the overall offensive end had undergone a qualitative change.

If you want to guard against such a player, you have to find someone who can match him.

Then you will find that such players are really hard to find.

The classic "the one who is taller with you is not as fast as you, and the one who is as fast as you is not as tall as you"!

Of course, all of this is based on Lin Ying's solid technical and physical conditions, and his high and low singles are full of lethality.

Before, because the Suns played team basketball, and it was a bit hurtful to say that, that would basically defeat the Nuggets, so there was no need for Lin Ying to play like this.

But these few rounds have proved that Lin Ying has fully possessed the ability to stand alone!

He only needs to accumulate experience slowly, and then further improve the details and skills, as long as he does not suffer injuries, his achievements may be higher than Anthony!

This is Carl's happy point.

After all, Lin Ying's current progress shows that he didn't take his eyes off at the beginning, and what he did was completely worthwhile.

The sad point is that now Lin Ying is no longer his disciple, but an opponent's player.

He really didn't know how to restrict his "love apprentice" anymore.

Just as he thought about it, Anthony shook Lin Ying with a signature "washing machine drum" and scored two points.

Then looking back, Lin Ying changed direction and hit the basket, Anthony dunked and scored!

"Is that what you want?"

And after dunking, Lin Ying looked back at Anthony and said.

Anthony didn't nod, but the look in his eyes said everything.

The two people who used to be entangled with grievances in the past are now in the real sense of the positive and rigid!

The cheers on the scene continued.

This ticket is definitely enough to buy tonight!

On the court, Lin Ying and Anthony were just making each other's face!

And it's the kind of direct match-up, no defense or double-teaming, it's a very pure one-on-one.

This is the way Anthony wanted to play in G1.

The teammates on the field changed constantly, but the two attackers continued until the end of the first quarter.

24 to 17.

This is the score in the first quarter, with the Nuggets leading.

It is easy to draw a conclusion that Lin Ying and Anthony finally had no defense against each other, and they drew a tie.

It is this tie, and many people feel completely different.

In the VIP box, Kroenke looked like he was constipated.

If he is strong enough, the wine glass in his hand should have been crushed by him.

Lin Ying has been able to compete with Anthony in a heads-up match!

Although this does not mean that Lin Ying has the same strength as Anthony, he is only in the third grade!

In fact, there is no need to remind him at this time. He also knows that choosing Anthony as the second choice was not necessarily correct.

Because Lin Ying has such a performance now, it means that as long as he doesn't suffer serious injuries, he basically has a better future than Anthony!

Of course, it is absolutely impossible for the American elite to admit that it was wrong.

It's just as uncomfortable as constipation.

In the stands, Lin Ying's image has skyrocketed from tall to giant level in Booker's eyes.

The third grade against Biao, the top ten in the league this season, Anthony?

This is really a handsome series!

He decided, after entering Ncaa, he would wear the No. 1 jersey, because Lin Ying University is the No. 1 jersey!

Nuggets bench.

Anthony was resting, and his expression was extremely complicated when he watched the score.

After playing the one-on-one session he wanted most, he found that Lin Ying's growth was truly amazing.

In two years he will have to be suppressed.

Is it really impossible to stay in this Purgatory West?

wrong!

He is someone who wants to match Jordan, how could he have such an idea!

In this round of competition, his personality began to split into two villains.

One is that after being inspired by Billups, he wants to match Jordan, and the other wants to end early and run early.

There was another familiar reflection.

The appearance of Billups gave the villain like Jordan the upper hand.

"We will win!"

The reflection was like a mage shaking forward, and Anthony felt that his blood was being lifted up again.

The game in the second quarter was exactly the same as in the first quarter.

Both sides still invested a lot of physical energy to defend, and then Lin Ying and Anthony still played a lot of tactical singles.

However, there is an obvious point that both sides have begun to consciously carry out some necessary pincers, and the efficiency of both singles is declining.

This is actually the biggest loophole in Jordan's theory of "10 points in a single quarter and 40 points in the whole game". Physical fitness, form, and care of opponents will all make the player's state ups and downs.

Jordan can do it because he is Jordan and others can't imitate it.

What's more, they put a lot of physical energy into singles when attacking and defensive.

The Suns returned to some games in the second quarter.

At halftime, the Nuggets led the Suns 50-42.

The game entered the intermission, Carl's face was not good.

Because the sun, which should have been declining due to physical energy consumption, is it more vigorous as it hits?

This feeling of going against common sense should be an illusion, but there is also a kind of unspeakable truth.

After the half-time break came back, the game between the two sides continued.

At the beginning, Lin Ying and Anthony gave each other a piece of iron.

Obviously, the large amount of physical energy consumed in the first half, coupled with the cooling of the midfielder's hand, caused both of them to drop significantly.

At this time, the Suns' offense began to slowly change.

Lin Ying is still in singles, but his singles is not just for scoring, or even scoring.

He rushes to the inside to split the ball, and then he comes out to make a pick-and-roll for his teammates.

In the first round, Butler showed his big heart ability, receiving a pass from Nash and starting a three-pointer!

In the next round, Stoudemire will benefit.

Stoudemire directly received Lin Ying's second-hand pass, and he made an overlord hard bow on Nene, and he found a spot!

And in the next round, Nash and Lin Ying performed a tacit cooperation of "you pass me, I pass you, the opponent is dizzy".

Finally, Nash shot the ball into the basket with an iconic horseback archery.

The Suns are in full bloom!

On the other hand, the Nuggets, who originally relied on Anthony's singles for their offense, began to lose points with the decline in Anthony's singles efficiency!

What's more terrible is the decline in physical fitness, which makes it difficult for them to play a high-intensity defense like the first half.

The Nuggets, there are already vague signs of collapse again!

Carl also reacted in an instant at this time.

That is not an illusion!

It's a strategy!

Maybe Gentry didn't think so deeply, but in fact the Suns have played a "Tian Ji horse racing" strategy.

In the first half, Lin Ying had taken care of the Suns' offense alone, and the others only needed to do well on the defensive end.

So as long as Lin Ying can hold the Suns in a stalemate in the first half, it will be time for the Suns to harvest in the second half!

Because Anthony and Lin Ying are removed, only Billups is really reliable on the Nuggets side, and the Suns are the whole team!

Or in other words, Anthony is behind Billups, and Lin Ying is behind Phoenix!

This is also a scene shown in the second half. The Nuggets are struggling to support Billups, but the Suns have blossomed across the board!

The game is not over yet, but the situation has become irreversible.

This is no longer a coach's adjustment of tactics, or personnel rotation can change.

It's like staying in a closed car falling into the water, watching the water seep in a little bit, watching your living space being compressed a little bit, you can do nothing but experience despair!

Soon, the Suns hit a wave of climax to tie the score.

Carl performed his duties and called a timeout, but after a stalemate came back from the timeout, the Suns still started to open the score.

Slowly, Billups realized that they had lost their chance.

And it's different from the previous games.

This time, Anthony made a change and the Nuggets showed their strength.

However, they never played!

This is a very thorough frontal defeat without any reason.

The game came to the fourth quarter. After playing for a while at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Suns already had a 15-point lead.

Counting that they were 12 points ahead at most before, they equaled the Suns winning by 27 points!

When the game enters the rhythm that the Phoenix people like, it is really a matter of minutes to open the score.

With only three minutes left before the end of the game, and the score was still 15 apart, Carl replaced the players early.

Every team member's face is filled with loss that cannot be hidden.

Especially after they sat down and saw that a large number of fans started to leave the field.

Nuggets fans failed this year!

The live footage is looking for Anthony.

At this time, Anthony's close-ups are destined to be recorded in history.

Anthony leaned on the bench, his eyes hollow.

But his heart was already stormy at this time.

After being defeated head-on, the villain in his heart who wanted to match Jordan was finally "killed."

It's all bluffing!

Billups can succeed only because he is lucky enough to be in a team like the Pistons!

But he has always stayed on a team like the Nuggets!

Even if it was his life-long enemy James, the Cavaliers sent Ricky Davis away early and set up a set of lineups for James.

On the other hand, the Nuggets had tossed back and forth for so long to choose between him and Lin Ying!

Even if Kenyon Martin hadn't made concessions himself, it would be hard to say whether he was the boss of the Nuggets!

After all, it was because of the inappropriate team. If the Pistons he went to, he might have won the championship earlier than James!

But after thinking about it this way, his mood suddenly became very complicated.

He vaguely remembered that when he renewed his contract early in 2006, he, James and Wade, the three of them gathered for dinner.

James mentioned that everyone should renew the 3+1 contract together, which means that they should consider the possibility of playing together in the future.

But he didn't follow.

One is his character. Although casual but also arrogant, he wants to beat James head-on, rather than playing brother basketball.

The second is that he prefers money. The extra two-year contract is real dollars, not to mention that he felt it was good to stay with the Nuggets at the time.

In terms of three, he also thinks that James and the others may be considering signing a larger contract. He can't do the normal thing about playing together at the peak.

But think about the current situation, if James hasn't succeeded this season, and finally played with Wade, he can only stare.

And the key is that the Nuggets are now locked by the contract and can be seen at a glance.

Of course the worst is his remarks.

Thinking of his previous championship remarks, he felt like an ant on a hot pot.

Oh, by the way, now he has to add in his previous bold words from the locker room that he would bring his teammates to reversal.

He feels that he is really shameless next season to continue playing with the Nuggets.

So, it may be time to consider a new next home!

Ah, it's so bright in front of you!

It was the familiar long face and bald head again.

"Mello, we will get better together, we still have next season, we can make a comeback."

Billups also found Anthony who was put on the LED big screen, and he got up to comfort him.

Anthony nodded copingly.

In his heart, he has already begun to search for a suitable next home.

When he saw Billups, he added an extra to this matter:

They will have next season, if possible, it is better to take Billups with him.

At the very beginning of the bench, Carl folded his hands.

He has also made a decision.

He will announce the news of his resignation at the press conference to be waited.

Originally, he was holding on to his body to continue coaching, but now he needs to rest for one to two years before coming out of the mountain.

In the VIP box, Kroenke was gone for a long time.

Walkendien remembered his face before leaving, knowing that it was time for him to take the initiative and resign before the team fired him.

The advantage of this is that he voluntarily resigned instead of being swept out, which can give a good impression on the new home.

So what reason should he find, and then which one should he look for next?

This will be a question he needs to think carefully about in the future.

"Snee!"

Kroenke, who was returning to the villa, sneezed fiercely when he got out of the car.

The weather in Denver is really strangely cold.

At the same time, the Suns' bench could not help but start celebrating in advance.

Stoudemire shook his legs and rubbed his hands, and staged a version of "Little Overlord" version of "Excited Heart, Shaking Hands".

This first round was too easy!

If this continues, he will really feel that the Suns have hope of winning this year!

Although Nash did not tremble, he had been prostituting the timer above his head from time to time, and his eyes were full of hope.

When he first entered the league, he heard Kevin Johnson talk about the thrilling defending season of the Rockets.

"Don't underestimate the heart of a championship."

The Rockets back then, as the sixth in the Western Conference, completed the defense without anyone expecting it!

They just happen to be sixth this year.

He unconsciously turned his head and looked at Lin Ying.

Lin Ying was chatting with Hill and Butler.

All three of them looked very happy.

Speaking of the Rockets' history, it was because of injuries that they fell to sixth, but they fell to sixth because of the "rest and rest" policy proposed by Lin Ying.

Coupled with the small difference between the top six wins and losses, they actually have the strength to compete for the championship.

Especially Lin Ying, who can compete against Anthony without losing the wind, makes the Suns infinitely possible!

Lin Ying noticed Nash's gaze, stopped chatting with the two people around him, turned to look at him, and then smiled.

Although he didn't actually play with a vengeance in this round of the game, he felt like defeating the former club that swept him out.

One word, cool!

Two words, very cool!

Of course he still doesn't know, if he knew that Anthony was beaten by him and wanted to run away, he would be even better.

The game was about to end, Gentry called all the players to their feet.

"Don't say too much when you wait for the handshake. Say more words of encouragement. The winner must remain humble."

Lin Yingfu, it's generally best not to say anything at this time.

Say something to encourage?

The future is yours?

Come on, brother?

This sounds like a bamboo shoot, he won't do it.

"beep!"

The whistle for the end of the game finally sounded, and there were less than half of the fans left.

The Nuggets stood up in relief.

After the final handshake, they can end this repressive atmosphere.

Players from both sides came to the field, UU reading www.uukanshu. Most of the members of the com Suns just shake hands.

Their thoughts were similar to those of Lin Ying, and the situation disappeared.

Only when Nash shook hands with Anthony, he couldn't help but say some words of encouragement:

"Mello, you have done well enough. You don't know how much trouble you have caused us."

When he said this, he also matched the movement of clapping his arm, which was sincere.

Anthony almost didn't lose his emotions when he heard this.

The rest of the Suns didn't say a word, only Nash said some words of encouragement.

"Steve, you are still a loyal man!"

He finally said with emotion.
