Chapter 115 The Nuggets Gang!(1/3)
The head coach of the Cavaliers is Mike Brown, yes, that familiar "bread".
Brown is a Spurs coach and Pop's first assistant in his early years.
He basically got a true pass from Popovich, and he is very good on the defensive end. On the offensive end, just like Pop did to Duncan, he did to James.
So after watching more than half of the quarter, you can basically feel the Cavaliers' style of play: James plays on the court by himself, and when he gets tired, he lets Hughes play.
But on the defensive end, he is still very good.
Lin Ying is holding the ball at the top of the three-point arc. In front of him is Ilgauskas, and he is constantly waving his hands to interfere with his passing line of sight.
James is not familiar with Lin Ying, but Brown obviously defended Lin Ying.
Lin Ying watched Iverson and Smith move, but they didn't get into any good positions.
The defense rotates, and with James here, it is relatively easy to guard two people.
But if Anthony runs down again, it will be very difficult for the Cavaliers to defend.
After all, Ilgauskas has now been pulled to the top of the three-point arc by Lin Ying.
It's a pity that Anthony can't run.
Lin Ying finally controlled the ball to the right side of the 45-degree three-point line, and then made a tactical gesture.
Oh, I can't believe it.
Anthony singles!
Some people will definitely say, is this different from the opening?
Of course!
It's also a singles game, so tactics are definitely different from just playing singles games.
The space on the court, defensive maneuvers, and opportunities to give the ball are all details.
It's a pity that Anthony is unwilling to pass the ball. Otherwise, with the Nuggets' configuration, it would be good to occasionally intersperse triangle tactics.
At Lin Ying's signal, Smith and Iverson moved to the weak side to take away the defender.
Once the strong side was clear, he immediately lobbed the ball in.
Anthony caught the ball and felt a little excited for some reason.
This feeling is strange, but very real.
You must know that he was already prepared to give in and suppress his desire to attack first. Unexpectedly, Lin Ying asked him to fight alone as soon as he came up!
Catching the ball, facing the frame, triple threat, fake jump and real shot, dry pull-out.
"Whoa!"
I have to admit that when Anthony feels good, this pull-up is really cool.
13 to 14!
1 point difference!
"Defend! Defend!"
The Pepsi Center screamed one after another.
The fans at the scene were in high spirits.
Screaming is the best defensive stimulant, and Karl's arrangement began to work.
Lin Ying and Martin are both excellent defensive players. They constantly create defensive pressure on the ball carrier.
Finally, at the moment when James was forced to stop the ball, Lin Ying saw the right moment and struck.
"Crack!"
Steal!
Taking advantage of James's opportunity to ask the referee for a foul, the Nuggets launched a defensive counterattack.
Lin Ying and Iverson went down the line quickly. Lin Ying had Hughes in front of him and he passed the ball to Iverson.
Iverson went to the free throw line on a fast break, jumped up against Hughes, and threw the ball directly over the basket.
"Bang!"
Lin Ying's one-handed alley dunk!
This goal directly detonated the Pepsi Center.
Yu Jia, who was in the live broadcast seat, was extremely excited.
In this issue of "Basketball Park", he is planning to make a clip of Lin Ying's top five players.
But he has changed his mind now. He must be in the top ten!
Domestic fans also exploded.
This ball steals James's alley-oop dunk, which is so cool.
And the key is, this is already Lin Ying's third round on the court where he has the upper hand!
There is only one emperor in the alliance, and it must be Emperor Lin!
In fact, Lin Ying's strength is definitely far behind that of James.
But a basketball game and one-on-one are not the same thing.
Double-checking the ball carrier and teammates assisting in defense are all commonplace in the game.
What? One-on-one with a real man?
Who will play with you when the defensive strength and offensive strength do not match?
James was a little upset that he didn't get a foul.
He holds the ball at the top of the arc and prepares to make a direct charge.
But before he could start, Iverson came over directly.
James showed his excellent passing ability and passed the ball to Pavlovic immediately.
Pavlovic's open three-point shot.
The trajectory of the ball looks very good, and it can be seen that he has been training a lot.
only……
"when!"
He is really inaccurate this season!
Last season he shot 40.5% from three-point range, but so far this season, his three-point shooting percentage is even less than 25%!
What? Why doesn’t Brown use someone else?
He defends well!
Anthony was so tough in the opening game, not just because James did a good job of assisting in defense.
The long rebound popped up and Lin Ying grabbed it, and he gave it to Iverson with one hand.
This time it was a two-gun fast break between Iverson and Anthony.
James showed his strong retreat speed to defend one against two.
Anthony advanced to the free throw line and had no chance to pass the ball to Iverson.
James turned to face Iverson.
Iverson threw the ball directly to the basket.
Anthony jumped up after him.
James' reaction was outrageous, and he turned around and jumped to interfere.
It's just that he failed to guard him in the end because the opponent was Anthony.
After an aerial confrontation, Anthony lost his balance and hit the board before sending the ball into the basket.
The referee's whistle sounded and the ball was 2+1!
Anthony was knocked to the ground by James. After seeing the ball go in, he turned over and jumped up. He shot his head with three fingers and roared!
Don’t be too happy!
From being frustrated at the beginning, he came on again and scored 4 points, and even directly scored 2+1 on James!
He finally stood up in front of James!
At this time, Martin also ran over and hit Anthony in the chest.
Full of passion.
The fans at the scene were in high spirits.
Not just because of this goal, but in this period, they can feel that Anthony has truly integrated into the Nuggets' offensive system!
