Sometimes, after taking the first step, the face and everything else are put aside.

That's what Iguodala is like. The pleasure of walking on the edge of being beaten and taking advantage, the first time he experienced it, gave him a special feeling, and he was a little obsessed.

He now understood why people as powerful as Pippen and Liu Mang liked to dive. That kind of IQ superiority was so special!

The calm Andre Miller stopped his teammates and prevented the situation from escalating. After the referee gave him a technical foul, Iguodala got up and went to the frontcourt to shoot a free throw.

Stable extra penalty hits.

The Eagles attacked with a sideline ball, and Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt after receiving the serve.

Andre Miller suppressed Anthony's restless heart. The key is that Anthony still listens to this old-school stable point guard. Whether it is Andre Miller now or Billups, Kidd, and these

When the three of them worked together, it happened to be Anthony's three peak periods.

As a rookie, being able to lead a team that won 17 games last season and reach the playoffs in the Western Conference is considered the pinnacle of Anthony's life.

After Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt, he saw the Nuggets' expanded three-and-two zone defense, which was a zone defense that mainly defended the outside line, coupled with high-speed rotation defense. It was really annoying. When Anthony was still thin, his lateral movement ability was extremely strong, and even he

and veteran Persson's defense both look good in this system.

Liu Mang continued to choose to break through, and Andre Miller was passed without any suspense. He could not guard the speedy outside line, but this time Andre Miller did not continue to chase Liu Mang but predicted that the defense would be blocked.

arc!

Sure enough, McGrady once again got rid of Persson and ran towards the top arc. Persson did not continue to chase McGrady, but ran to the middle with Nene to double-team Liu Mang. Kenyon Martin blocked Josh Smith's pass.

Air cut, this guy's air cut is terrible!

So...Liu Mang stepped on the free throw line and made an emergency jump shot...

Hit!

The mid-range shot feels good!

Like other teams that are good at blocking three-pointers, the Nuggets' mid-range defense is also terrible!

If Liu Mang can maintain a mid-range shooting percentage of more than 40%, he can stabilize the score!

It's time for the Nuggets offense again.

Iguodala continued to follow Andre Miller to the low post, rubbing his left forearm around Andre Miller's waist, and preparing to interfere with Andre Miller's turnaround jump shot with his right hand.

The trick just now is enough to use once, and you can't use it all the time in the future. It's just to cast a shadow on Andre Miller.

Andre Miller felt his ass go cold and immediately turned his body. He saw Anthony pick-and-roll with Kenyon Martin and run inside. He immediately passed the ball.

McGrady and Josh Smith ignored Kenyon Martin and followed Anthony. Both of them were faster than Anthony! Anthony caught the ball and wanted to dunk, but McGrady chased him and slapped the ball on the backboard!

Josh Smith wanted to steal the ball, but who knew Anthony would react so quickly after being blocked. When he fell, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the ball.

McGrady, Josh Smith and Rasheed Wallace, who returned to the basket, trapped Anthony under the basket. Anthony couldn't pass the ball and had to force a shot!

Tricked again!

McGrady hit Anthony's shot from behind again!

However, Anthony grabbed an offensive rebound again!

Liu Mang, who had already stood outside the three-point line and was preparing to counterattack, had a dark look on his face.

Finally, it was Iguodala who quickly let go of Andre Miller and squeezed into the crowd. The four of them attacked Anthony and quickly scooped the ball away!

When Liu Mang saw the ball being asked, it somehow got into the hands of Rasheed Wallace. He immediately stepped down. Rasheed Wallace quickly handed the ball to McGrady. McGrady made a long pass and Liu Mang arrived.

He just caught the ball at the free throw line in the frontcourt, took a step forward, then jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

59 to 55, leading by 4 points!

Liu Mang suggested Mike Woodson's perfect team defense, that is, Iguodala alone defends Andre Miller, McGrady defends Anthony alone, Liu Mang and Iguodala, Josh Smith, and McGrady start on the other side.

After passing the ball, there were endless defense changes and Rasheed Wallace blocked the inside. The strategy started to work!

However, just as I gained confidence in this defense, something unexpected happened!

Anthony seems to be angry because he has been blocked by McGrady today! With four blocks today, McGrady has also successfully raised his season average of blocks per game to 2.2, temporarily breaking his own average of 1.9 for guards.

Blocked shot history!

After Andre Miller advanced to the frontcourt, Anthony asked for the ball directly from outside the three-point line. Andre Miller felt that it was important to protect his own anus, so he immediately passed it to Anthony. After receiving the ball, Anthony continued to test the ball. McGrady

Standing firmly inside the three-point line without being affected, that's what Anthony wants, a straight three-point jumper!

McGrady immediately rushed to interfere. Anthony leaned back slightly and threw the ball. Josh Smith and Rasheed Wallace under the basket had already begun to fight with Kenyon Martin, Nene, Liu Mang and Igo.

Darla also moved in to grab the rebound.

but!

Anthony's three-pointer hit!

58 to 59, the Nuggets kept the score tight!

Liu Mang felt something was wrong! This guy shot so decisively and accurately!

Liu Mang received the serve and advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing that Anthony's defense became more active, Liu Mang broke into the middle distance. This time, Anthony, who was originally just guarding Iguodala, the corner shooter, came over and Liu Mang immediately passed the ball.

To Iguodala in the corner, Nene pounced towards Iguodala, Iguodala hung the basket, Rasheed Wallace caught the ball and Kenyon Martin came back to cover the defense.

He jumped down and put the basket up to score two points.

Although his singles skills have deteriorated, in this technical matter, Rasheed Wallace is still much better than Kwame Brown. Kwame Brown was designated to receive the ball and wanted to dunk it, and he was probably beaten by Kenyon.

-Martin's defense arrived.

Having a skilled interior swingman is great for both offense and defense.

The Eagles run the game steadily, distribute the ball and pass the ball. The offensive routine is obvious, Princeton!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Five locations can be passed!

When the Nuggets were on offense again, Anthony was still asking for the ball from the top of the arc. McGrady became wary of Anthony's pull-up three-pointer and defended even tighter. Anthony took the opportunity to cut in and hit the mid-range shot from the free throw line.

Anthony found the rhythm!

The Eagles attacked, and Liu Mang continued to break through with the ball. This time McGrady did not move toward the top arc, but cut inside. Liu Mang passed the ball to McGrady during the breakthrough, and McGrady cut to the basket and pulled up for a layup and easily scored two points.

It was Anthony's singles again, he lowered his head and pushed McGrady with his head, separated a little space, suddenly pulled out and shot... and it went in!

The Eagles attacked, and this time it was McGrady's turn to hold the ball. Liu Mang relied on Andre Miller in the mid-range. McGrady passed the ball to Liu Mang, and Liu Mang turned over and made a jump shot. He also scored!

72 to 70, the Eagles still maintain a two-point lead.

Sometimes the explosion comes so suddenly, and Anthony goes berserk! This time he rushed to the basket and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand before Rasheed Wallace could defend in place!

Ten points in a row!

Although the Eagles also scored 6 points on all three attacks during this period, the point difference was already tied by Anthony's explosion!

Coach Kruger wanted to call a timeout, but the tactics had just worked. Before he could be happy, the opponent suddenly stopped playing tactics and started playing singles. He even scored ten points in a row. Coach Kruger couldn't sit still.

But seeing Liu Mang asking for the ball from Rasheed Wallace, seemingly very excited, Coach Kruger suppressed the idea of ​​calling a timeout and prepared to let the players solve the problem on their own.

Liu Mang received the serve and called on Tracy McGrady to advance slowly, and asked: "Are you going to do it or am I going to do it?"

"One for each!"

Liu Mang smiled and pushed forward to the frontcourt separately from McGrady.

The Nuggets no longer play tactics! It seems that Anthony has a very strong streak, but Liu Mang is afraid of Anthony's scoring? Just kidding, he is happiest in one-on-one situations. What does the Nuggets rely on to survive so far?

?

It’s not their personal ability. No matter how strong the Nuggets star’s personal ability is, he can’t match the combination of Liu Mang and Tracy McGrady. They rely on endless low-post offense and team play. Those few goals Anthony scored in isolation,

The rest of the Nuggets team stood still, watching him play in isolation, because they knew he was not good at organizing offense! An isolation game was definitely a singles game!

So Liu Mang just didn't call a timeout and wanted to rely on Anthony's singles to destroy the rhythm that the Nuggets had maintained for so long!

After Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt, McGrady directed the two insiders to go to the basket, and he and Iguodala were separated to a 45-degree angle on both sides.

Liu Mang can finally fight alone regardless of the situation!

Liu Mang dribbled the ball and broke through from the right side. After Andre Miller stepped back, Liu Mang immediately pulled back, stepped back and shot...

It was a pity that they didn't score, but McGrady and Iguodala rushed inside as soon as Liu Mang stepped back. Although they failed to grab the offensive rebound, they caused chaos under the basket. The ball was passed by Kenyon -

After Martin caught it, Iguodala quickly pushed the ball out of the baseline, denying the Nuggets a chance to run.

Although they failed to start a fast break, the Nuggets were still very excited. First of all, Anthony scored ten consecutive points to tie the score. They felt that their morale, which had been a little depressed by Andre Miller's offensive foul, was back.

Got it! Then he "defended" Liu Mang and had a chance to overtake the score!

Seeing that Liu Mang didn't score, Anthony became more and more confident and continued to ask for the ball after reaching the frontcourt.

Seeing Anthony's probing step again, Liu Mang waved to Iguodala. Iguodala immediately let go of Andre Miller and guarded Persson. Liu Mang ignored Andre Miller.

, pushed to the mid-range to prepare for defense, Josh Smith also extended out, leaving Rasheed Wallace alone to guard the basket, and the Eagles defended the zone defense!

And McGrady directly followed up, only guarding Anthony's outside three-pointers, constantly applying pressure and making physical contact.

When Anthony saw McGrady sticking so close to him, he suddenly used his strength to break through inside!

Liu Mang immediately blocked Anthony. When Anthony saw someone covering the defense, it was Liu Mang. He directly grabbed the ball and ran towards Liu Mang, preparing to cause physical contact and cause a foul!
