NBA: Ultimate Tormentor

Chapter 227 Junior Brother's 'Blowing Defense'!
This big shot against Anthony once again showed Qin Dong's blind growth in the past more than one season.

But during the Warriors' fast break counterattack, junior brother Lance Stephenson's layup was cut off by Aaron Afflalo. At the same time, the junior brother's ankle was hit and rolled out of bounds.

Although the younger brother is very talented on the offensive end, compared with the veteran NBA players, he still lacks some experience.

This layup was a bit sloppy. Facing Aaron Afflalo, who had poor confrontation, he did not create a physical confrontation, which gave the opponent time to fully react defensively.

The Nuggets counterattacked. Billups used the pick-and-roll to find Carmelo Anthony, who was wandering without the ball. After receiving the ball, the latter faced Qin Dong's defense and shot without fear, "Swipe !" With a sound, the shot was made.

After scoring, Melo did not receive applause from Denver's home fans, but instead received more boos.

Carmelo Anthony, a natural scorer, doesn't really care about this.

Anthony's touch is accurate, and combined with his static talent and natural fake moves, Qin Dong can only limit it.

This and locking out rookies who are just entering the NBA.
There is still a fundamental difference.

Both sides went back and forth, and the score continued to rise.

19: 19.

At 6 minutes and 17 seconds of the first quarter, with Billups passing the ball, Anthony faced Qin Dong's defense and hit a three-pointer from a 45-degree angle on the right wing to once again tie the score. flat.

"Boss, Melo was too accurate tonight. Even if Qin tried to guard against him, it would be of no avail."

"In my opinion, it is better to let Qin swing to the 4th position on the defensive end."

said an assistant coach named 'Henry'.

"Although Melo has scored 10 points so far, I don't believe his touch can continue forever. You have also seen that at least two of the goals were lucky."

"If Qin goes to the 4th position, then who will face Melo."

"In addition, head, I see that Stephen, DeAndre and PJ should take a rest. Otherwise, it will not be conducive to the performance of the subsequent games."

Caddy Cole put forward his own suggestion at this time. Not only did he disapprove of Qin Dong's swing to the 4th position, but he also reminded Don Nelson that he should change his position.

"Man, did you make a mistake."

"Stephen has a good three-point touch now, and judging from the state on the court, it doesn't cost much, so why replace him."

"As a coach, how can you be so rigid and mechanical?"

Henry snapped at Cole.

Henry, who was born as a professional, and Cole, who was born as a player, had anal sex at this time.

"Okay, please be quiet." Don Nelson waved his hand impatiently to interrupt the two, and at the same time, requested a timeout in the next dead-ball round.

Don Nelson adopted Henry's advice and asked Qin Dong to guard the 4th position. The task of guarding Anthony was given to Lance Stephenson. Jordan, who was in poor condition, was replaced by Andres. - Biedrins.

But Curry and Tucker continued to stay on the court.

After the timeout, Qin Dong moved without the ball and fell to the mid-waist position. Curry, who launched the attack through the pick-and-roll on the other side, made a cross as precise as a scalpel and sent it directly to Qin Dong's hands.

After Qin Dong received the ball, he faced Anthony's single defense and made a strong breakthrough with the ball.

Anthony, who has entered a serious defensive state, is full of defensive enthusiasm at this time. Even if he is passed by Qin Dong by half of his body, he always sticks to Qin Dong's side.

Qin Dong used all his strength to push past Anthony, strode into the basket, took a huge European step, avoided the defensive defense of Nene, the remaining Brazilian warrior, went around behind him, and flew to pick up the basket.
With a sound of "Pa!", Anthony rushed over behind him. Although he didn't hit the ball, he hit Qin Dong's arm, ruining the almost sure layup and sending Qin Dong to the free throw line.

"boom!"

"brush!"

Qin Dong made 2 of 1 free throws.

"It can be seen that Melo, who faced Qin tonight, showed the same defensive attitude as when he faced Dwyane and LeBron."

"Such an active defense is rare in previous games."

TNT Live's Kenny Smith said.

"Yes."

"But this also proves that Qin is now a player of the level of LeBron and Dwyane."

Charles Barkley laughed.

Seeing his old partner praising Qin Dong again, Kenny Smith rolled his eyes and was speechless.

But he didn't argue too much.
Nothing.

What he said is the truth.

Soon, the Warriors were facing Carmelo Anthony on the defensive end.

After Anthony received the ball in the high post, he did not immediately attack like he did against Qin Dong. Instead, he did a set of three-threat probing steps.

The junior brother who is entrusted with the important task of defense by the team is also dedicated to defense, but what?
Seeing that Anthony was still shaking for 3 seconds without taking action, the junior brother suddenly opened his small mouth and blew on Anthony.

This made Anthony frown, and the next second, he was doing it right in front of his junior brother.

"Dang!"
What surprised Warriors assistant coach Henry was that his junior guard actually defended Anthony this time.

"Boss, if there is a competition in the future, we have to remind Lance not to brush his teeth that day." Assistant Heng said half-jokingly.

"Disgusting rookie!" Anthony, who was shooting and hitting the iron, said with an unhappy expression.

To this
Lance Stephenson chuckled.

In the next few rounds, I don't know if Lance Stephenson's breath-taking defense really worked for Anthony, or if Anthony's touch automatically cooled down.

After the junior brother’s breathtaking defense,
Anthony took 3 mid-range shots and only hit 1.

However, Anthony did his best on the defensive end tonight. In addition to sending Qin Dong's breakthrough layup to the free throw line, he also tried his best to defend and allow Qin Dong to catch and shoot two three-pointers. Bang is like striking iron.

"Bang!"
Qin Dong's bad touch tonight was passed on to his junior brother. After his junior brother received the ball, he shot a three-pointer from a wide open position and hit the iron.

The Denver Nuggets protected the defensive rebound, and Nene quickly passed the ball to Billups. When the latter was about to advance past halftime, he gave it to Aaron Afflalo, who was half a body ahead of P.J. Tucker on the right wing.

After the latter caught the ball, he accelerated and got rid of Tucker.

"Whoosh!"

Aaron Afflalo suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He looked back from the corner of his eye and saw that it was Qin Dong.

Aaron Afflalo was shocked.

Immediately after
What made him feel incredible was that Qin Dong ran to his side in the next second.

The wingspan of 222cm, like a five-shot lightning whip, whipped towards Aaron Afflalo's ball handler. Although the latter's reaction was not slow, Qin Dong's hand speed was nothing short of crazy.

fast!
Simply too fast!

Immediately knocked the basketball out of Aaron Afflalo's hands.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

In an instant, the home fans clearly heard the 'braking sound' between the sneakers and the floor.

Qin Dong, who was running rapidly, stopped and moved laterally very quickly, sucking the 'ownerless' basketball into his hands and launching a fast break.

From stealing to protecting the ball, Qin Dong is as flexible as a defender of about 190cm who focuses on speed and agility. "Wow"

"My goodness."

"This steal is too fierce."

"yes."

Denver's home fans watched Qin Dong complete a one-stop fast break dunk after stealing the ball. This time, even though Anthony was sprinting, it had no impact on Qin Dong's dunk.

Denver Nuggets offense.

positional warfare.

The fledgling junior brother and Anthony not only blew air, but also fought hand-to-hand. The junior junior brother's active defense, and Qin Dong's help defense without the ball from time to time, made the grassroots FMVP Chauncey Billups and the team's brain dare not easily use it. Pass the ball to Anthony.

Billups, unable to feed Anthony the ball, used the pick-and-roll to defend Qin Dong.

Billups wanted to beat the big one with a small one, and opened up the Warriors' defensive gap by breaking through Qin Dong. Billups' several disguises, sudden stops and quick starts to dribble the ball, still could not get rid of Qin Dong, who was like a tarsal insect. , In addition, what shocked Nuggets fans was that Qin Dong actually forced Billups to stop the ball.

Billups, who was forced to pass the ball, first feinted and swung the ball vigorously. Although this deceived Qin Dong, Qin Dong also reacted very quickly. After reacting immediately, he stretched out his long arms and said, "Pop! "With a sound, Billups' pass to Anthony was directly caught.

With a sound of "Bang!", Lance Stephenson received Qin Dong's pass during a fast break counterattack, broke through to the basket, and completed a dunk.

30: 25!

At this time, there were still 2 full minutes before the end of the first quarter, and the Warriors had established a 5-point lead.

Immediately after
On the defensive end of the Warriors, although the younger brother was forcibly passed by Anthony's probing step, Qin Dong, guarding the basket, completed the frame protection immediately, preventing Anthony's layup, and also grabbed the defensive rebound.

Qin Dong pushed forward with the ball, and immediately passed the ball to Stephen Curry. After receiving the ball, the latter faced Billups' defense and dribbled the ball from his hip and then stepped back and shot a three-pointer.

"Shua!"
33: 25!

The lead reached 8 points.

Four minutes ago, the two sides were still tied at 4:19.

The Warriors showed Denver fans their terrifying explosive scoring power. At the same time, they also made the Nuggets players feel that without strong firepower support, the point difference would be widened in just the blink of an eye.

Warriors on the bench.

"Cole, did you see that? A good coach should adapt to local conditions. You make substitutions by the clock, haha." The academic Henry said yin and yang.

"Henry, it's not Cole's fault."

"His talent lies in helping Qin pick up the ball."

"He just has to do his job as a caddy."

Another assistant coach who had a major conflict with Kerr said.

At this time, Cole clenched his fists. The man who dared to fight Jordan back then gritted his teeth and endured it for the sake of this assistant coach job.

after all
What the other party said is generally correct.

but
Kerr doesn't think it was Lance Stephenson who guarded Carmelo Anthony, but that his touch began to decline after a long period of high-intensity confrontation.

Lance Stephenson just got a bargain.

With 1 minute and 18 seconds left in the first quarter, the coaches of both teams replaced their main players.

Clash between substitutes.
The Nuggets aren't bad.

Especially the explosive performance of JR Smith, who scored 1 points on sudden shots in the last minute of the first quarter and the first half of the second quarter.

42: 41!

J.R. Smith led the substitutes and chased the point difference to only 1 point.

The Warriors requested a timeout at this time.

"JR needs to hold him down."

"Qin, this task is entrusted to you."

Don Nelson handed over the burden of defending JR to Qin Dong.

Unlike heavy striker Carmelo Anthony, JR is faster and more explosive. The younger brother who weighs 105kg cannot keep up with his lateral steps.

In addition, what made JR Smith so popular tonight was not his three-point touch, but his finishing touch after a breakthrough.

After rushing to the basket, he can make blind throws.

This made Sean Livingston, who was guarding him, and Bjelica, who was guarding the basket, look helpless.

JR Smith didn't feel fear when he saw Qin Dong playing to defend him personally. On the contrary, he felt more pride, pride and arrogance.

"Qin, no one can guard me tonight, including you." JR Smith said confidently.

"Hehe, I think so too." Qin Dong chuckled.

"Ah" JR Smith couldn't help but be startled, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Faced with his own trash-talking attack, the opponent actually didn't follow the routine.

"Man, if you pass the ball to me, then you are a softie, as soft as a gummy bear." Qin Dong said again.

"Hmph." JR Smith snorted in displeasure.

Although JR Smith is a provocative player, he is not stupid and knows that this is Qin Dong's method of provocation.

but
He was in a hot state and planned to take advantage of the situation.

JR Smith received a pass from his teammate outside the three-point line. Facing Qin Dong's close defense, JR Smith chose to break through, but as soon as he got off the ball, he felt a fatal 'threat'.

Qin Dong's hand speed was as fast as the afterimage.
Almost hit the basketball in JR Smith's hand.

JR Smith lowered his center of gravity and broke through to Qin Dong's right side.

"Bang!" Qin Dong quickly succeeded in filling the position almost at the same time. His strong body blocked the way, like JR Smith hitting a wall, and his center of gravity suddenly shook.

"Crack!"
Qin Dong easily stole the ball from JR Smith who was in hot form.

After Qin Dong upgraded [Death Coil] to the [Gold] level, his lateral movement speed increased to another level. Unless he is a defender with extremely strong explosive power and a low center of gravity, he can never get past Qin Dong with his first step. It's not even half a body.

Immediately after
Qin Dong completed the steal of JR Smith face to face in the next round.

JR Smith, who was intercepted twice by Qin Dong in succession, looked a little confused.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of fear in his heart.

But after seeing Qin Dong's contemptuous and playful eyes, JR Smith forcibly burned up his fighting spirit.

"Qin, I won't let you steal anymore." J.R. Smith, who was holding the ball, said coldly.

"Oh"

"Okay, buddy."

Seeing JR Smith who was in a 'half-complied' state, with only a tough mouth in his body, Qin Dong took a step forward before JR could break through, and with a "pop!", his right hand turned into a dragon claw hand, and directly hit JR Smith. JR Smith grabbed the basketball in his hand.
