Chapter seventy-four open and secret struggle
Artest defends Anthony, uses his strength to push out, and tries to push the melon away from the basket, the farther the better.
Today, Arte himself is not too worried about Anthony. He has not declined seriously in the past two years and is still the best player in the single defense No. 3 position. Especially a player like Anthony is the one he is the least afraid of. On the contrary, Kobe and McGrady's fast and flexible star cannot withstand it.
Anthony was strong because he had both strength and slow speed and agility, and was restrained by Artest because the latter was the same, both strength and slow speed.
Artest and Anthony competed on both wings. Iverson had no chance to see Anthony, so he chose to do it himself for the first time.
Kenyon Martin pulled out the pick-and-roll, and Iverson used the cover to easily break into the inside in disguise.
Ji Guomomoto abandoned Kenyon and Martin and chose to delay Iverson. In his eyes, this former idol was the most threatening player in the Nuggets, even if he is now called a big cancer.
Kambi pulled to the ribs and wanted to take Ji Guoqiu out of the basket, but Ji Guoqiu ignored him at all. Kambi's mid-range depends entirely on luck, and there is no point in his mind. He does not need to be over-guarded. He and his younger brother must guard the paint area.
Kenyon Martin took the lead and roll, and Ji Guoqiu immediately helped his younger brother to defend the old No. 1 pick. Kenyon Martin's jump was amazing. Even if he suffered a serious injury, he was an extremely excellent player among inside players. He must be closely monitored and cannot give him the opportunity to relay in the air.
After the Clippers' defense has become more and more excellent after the last ten games, the two brothers cooperated tacitly in the interior, which made Iverson feel difficult for a while. He really wanted to pass the air relay, but Kenyon Martin was watched by Ji Guoqiu and had no chance.
Iverson settled for the second best and was about to fight by himself. Another Chinese twin followed him closely, and the other party's tall body made him dare not take action easily.
When the Clippers fans saw that their team's defense was airtight, a cheer immediately rang out from the Staples Arena.
However, the superstar just looked for possibility in the impossible. Iverson dribble stopped suddenly, and Ji Guomeng also braked suddenly with his opponent. He had just stopped when he saw Iverson accelerating again with his flexible steps.
Ji Guomeng's center of gravity was shaken. Even with his footsteps beyond most insiders, he was a little unstable at this moment. Ninety-nine percent of the insiders stopped and could never keep up with the answer. However, Ji Guomeng gritted his teeth and started to follow again.
Iverson was shocked. He didn't expect the opponent to be able to keep up. The two had reached the left side of the three-second zone. He was originally planning to make a layup, but in this way, it was very likely that Ji Guomo was blocked from behind.
"Xiao Ai, I'm not slow when you're fast. Just let me cover one, and I'll be even more famous."
Ji Guomeng felt happy, excited that he could keep up with Iverson, and was still thinking about the good things.
Iverson still jumped, and Ji Guomeng immediately jumped up with him, slapping the basketball in Iverson's hand with his long arms.
Just when Ji Guomeng's big hand was about to touch the basketball, Iverson seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, closed the ball and avoided Ji Guomeng's block in the air, changed the shooting angle before throwing the basketball out...
"No, boss, please fill it up!"
"Can I fly over with you uncle?"
Ji Guomeng was struggling a few steps away and was still defending Kenyon Martin on the other side, so he had no time to come and help.
The basketball quickly hit the rebound, and no one can block it anymore, otherwise it would be interfering with the ball.
The players of the two teams desperately seized a favorable position under the basket and were preparing to compete for rebounds. Ji Guomo took advantage of the chaos and secretly gave Cambi an elbow. However, he did not expect that Cambi was practicing judo, and his elbow was easily resolved, and Cambi pushed her knees instead.
"Master!"
Ji Guomeng said in his heart that although he had not practiced kung fu, the nickname of the little fox was not in vain. He responded quickly and avoided the knee-to-knee attack of the best defensive player.
Both of them were done in a flash, with high concealment, and even the referee couldn't see clearly what was going on.
The basketball hit the basket several times, and fell into the Nets in the open and secret battle between several people at the basket.
"Damn, we have been in vain for our feelings." Both of them were feeling unhappy at the basket.
Compared to the secret battle between Ji Guoqiu and Lao Kambi, Ji Guoqiu and Kenyan Martin are relatively civilized. Although Martin is a villain and is desperate to defend, he does not act like a player like Ji Guoqiu who has clean defense. This is what you say to me and I respect you. The two of them are playing tricks.
When Kambi returned to defense, he glanced at Ji Guomo. This rookie was difficult to deal with. It was rare for a guy who was so cunning in the first season. Although the elbow just now was still a little less heat and had a lot of lethality. If you were careless, you might really capsize in the gutter.
The Clippers' home screen repeatedly played Kambie's knee lifting action, but turned a blind eye to Ji Guomeng's elbow lifting before. Many Nuggets fans have already criticized Los Angeles for being shameless in front of TV.
At the beginning of the game, the two teams refused to give in, setting the tone for the subsequent game. Today is destined to be a fierce battle.
At 7 minutes and 30 seconds in the first quarter, Mobri found a little space with Ji Guoqiu's cover and immediately started to shoot the middle distance, and the basketball hit the basket. This was Laomao's 5th point in this game.
Today, Dunleavy gave Mobley the opportunity to take action. Iverson's height of 180cm, even if the arm spread is excellent, it will be difficult for Mobley to have too much impact on the height of 193cm. Only then will he be polite at this time, of course, he must attack his weaknesses against others until the other party makes changes.
George Carl cannot change it. At most, Iverson will be replaced by point guard to avoid the edge. He will not put Iverson on the bench just because he is short. The answer's playing time must be guaranteed, otherwise he just won't want to do it.
The score is 10:7, and the Clippers lead by 3 points.
George Carl took advantage of the dead ball to make adjustments, replaced Anthony Carter, replaced JR Smith, and moved Iverson to the point guard.
Old Dunleavy did not make any adjustments. Brevin had no physical strength. If his opponent was Iverson, Brevin would definitely play time today. The two were almost the same height. Iverson was taller but limited, and he was about the same age. In fact, Iverson was somewhat restrained against Brevin.
George Carl asked Iverson to play as a shooting guard, but he didn't want his two guns to be restricted by the opponent. Anthony was already very uncomfortable with Artest's defense. Once Brevin entangled Iverson again, their situation would be bad.
The Nuggets head coach is right. Iverson was not afraid of any counterattack players when he was young, but when he was old, he met a short point guard like Brevin who was good at defending, so he was no longer as ease as he was when he was young. This is the damage to him by age. Whether it is outside players or inside players, being short means having a short hold period. This is what everyone knows about in NBA. Big Ben and Camby are both the best defensive players, but the former has begun to decline significantly due to height, because he is too short.
The two brothers would never leave the three-second zone easily at the basket today. The Nuggets' Camby and Kenyon Martin's mid-range shooting are not reliable. They stand firmly in the paint area, which greatly reduces Iverson's breakthrough. The Nuggets' inside line cannot pull the opponent's inside players. It is also a point that Iverson cannot play all his strength.
Iverson broke into the inside and, under the defense of the two brothers, could only pass the ball to Anthony on the right wing, and held the ball against Artest.
Artest is the same as Brevin's defensive strategy, and is very close to you, giving you room to break through, but never giving you the opportunity to shoot easily.
Anthony did make a breakthrough, but soon he will face the front and back double-teams of Ji Guomeng and Artest.
Ji Guomother blocked the opponent's breakthrough route and was about to grab the melon to death.
The defense of two players of the Clippers has been successful. Just when Ji Guomeng was happy to have the chance to hit Anthony, Melon activated his superstar mode and suddenly stopped jumping. He quickly shot the basketball in his hand in the moment before the two double-teamed...
This ball is very difficult. In order to prevent Artest from blocking from behind, Anthony had no time to aim at it. The basketball was thrown out completely based on his feelings, and even the movements were deformed.
The two brothers were fighting for rebounds at the basket. Percy was worried that they would move to the basket and prepare to participate in the competition. However, Anthony's shot was neat and did not give them a chance to grab rebounds at all. With a "swish", he entered the net hollow!
The Clippers fans are very disgusting. The team's defense has been in place several times today, but the Nuggets can use various difficult movements to put the basketball into the basket, which makes the Clippers players and fans helpless.
"Come again!" Ji Guochou shouted, his face unchanged at all.
Although Ji Guoqiu didn't say much, the Clippers players saw his attitude and the negative emotions before immediately disappeared.
Chapter completed!
