Buddha's light illuminates NBA

Chapter 110 The Quiet Denver Pepsi Center

"I can't believe that coach D'Antoni actually adjusted the Knicks' starting lineup!"

This game was not broadcast live across the United States. TNT TV station won the broadcast rights, and the two responsible for the commentary were still Barkley and Kenny Smith.

Never mind why.

Before the start of the game, Barkley, who got the starting lineup list for this game, discovered that the Knicks' starting lineup had actually made a huge adjustment!
Milicic came off the bench, David Lee moved from power forward to center, and Al Harrington entered the starting lineup to play power forward.

The nephew Gallinari, who has had a mediocre feel in recent games, was put on the bench by D'Antoni, and Wilson Chandler took the starting position.

Larry Hughes started the game and formed a double back lineup with Lu Ming.

"Probably, I have listened to some suggestions. This lineup seems to have a more balanced offense and defense. Moreover, the combination of David Lee and Harrington at the center and power forward positions may be a big problem for the Nuggets." Barkley analyzed.

Kenny Smith nodded, and then said from another angle, "At the small forward position, it may be difficult for Chandler to defend Anthony. As for the point guard, whether D'Antoni will let Lu Ming play against Billups on the defensive end is still unknown."

"So, what do you think, the current two teams, in terms of lineup, are [-]-[-]?" Barkley asked.

"No, I think the Knicks have a higher chance of winning." Kenny Smith really took the lead.

Barkley resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and said helplessly, "It doesn't matter. However, the experts agree that Lu has hit the rookie wall."

"Really? I'm an expert, why didn't I see it?" Kenny Smith was surprised.

"Come on, Kenny! Forget it, Lu said that I'm just a fat guy who doesn't know how to play, and you are sitting here just to make the fat man who doesn't know how to play look better! Haha!" After Barkley finished speaking, he was happy.

"..."

Kenny Smith was speechless by Barkley's shameless behavior of killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating one thousand and two. He looked at the players on both sides and turned to explain, "Let's look at the Nuggets' starting lineup. Center is Nene Hilario, power forward Kenyon Martin, small forward Carmelo Anthony, shooting guard is JR Smith, point guard Chauncey Billups, a regular lineup."

"Yeah, let's see, Coach George Karl's response."

With the commentary, the game has begun.

Nene's jump ball wins over David Lee, first down, and belongs to the Nuggets.

So for the first offense, the Knicks made adjustments on the defensive end, which solved the problem of TNT commentary before the game.

On the defensive end, Larry Hughes appeared in front of Chauncey Billups, while Lu Ming went to defend the nerve knife JR-Smith. For Lu Ming, naturally, he needed to invest less energy on the defensive end.

But JR-Smith was very excited when he saw Lu Mingfang himself.

He watched Lu Ming's defense against Kobe, and felt that the rookie's defensive level was not as good as the experts said. It was above the passing line and was completely vulnerable.

So, JR-Smith reached out for the ball.

Billups was planning how to get Lu Ming to appear on Anthony's offensive line. When he saw JR asking for the ball, he was stunned for a moment, but with a good view of the overall situation, he only hesitated for a third of a second before passing the basketball.

"Hey, rookie, welcome to the NBA!" JR pretended to be aggressive after receiving the ball.

In his opinion, there are two levels of acting aggressively after scoring, and scoring aggressively.

The latter is naturally more compelling.

"Thank you." Lu Ming responded.

Lu Ming was very impressed with the Nervous Knife.

The most profound thing is the famous scene of Qiyong Battle 4.0, G1, dribbling out of the three-point line after grabbing an offensive rebound, which gave James enough reasons and endless reverie.

"Thank you? Haha, next, don't cry!" JR-Smith looked at Lu Ming and smiled coldly.

Then he signaled to his teammates that he wants to play this rookie in singles, please open up the space and start dribbling.

Left and right, left and right, JR's dribbling rhythm is getting faster and faster, and he is going to give this rookie a famous three-pointer after flying the rookie.

But Lu Ming, who was the same height and had a wingspan nearly 10 centimeters larger than JR, was unmoved.

Just arms outstretched, like a big bird, spreading its wings, enveloping JR's fancy dribbles.

JR suddenly took a step forward. After taking a small step forward on Lu Ming's body, he immediately backed out, and at the same time made a fake gesture of worshiping Buddha, trying to trick Lu Ming.

However, Lu Ming, who worshiped the Buddha himself, saw through JR's fake action at a glance, and just stretched his arms to prevent the opponent's fake throw from turning into a real one.

"..."

JR was depressed for a moment, but he didn't shake.

Then you can only forcefully step back and shoot.

In this regard, JR also has absolute confidence.

However, just when his body reached the highest point and made a complete shooting action, he suddenly saw a yellow face appearing in front of him!
"It's possible!" JR was terrified.

But the person is already in the air, if the shot is not completed, it will become a mistake.

Wrong choice, or blocked?

The entanglement on the tail of a Virgo born made JR's mind instantly confused.

Time seemed to stand still.

When the time restarted, everyone had already seen that Lu Ming dropped the basketball from the sky with one hand, and dribbled and ran towards the Nuggets half court.

It turned out that Lu Ming, who had speculated about the various choices after the failure of worshiping Buddha, reacted faster and took off at the same time as JR retreated and took off.

When JR chose the difficulty in the air, he was given a third option.

"I was caught?"

After landing, JR looked back in a daze, first saw Billups running with his head buried, and then saw Lu Ming had rushed two steps into the free throw line of his own half and kicked off the ground.

BANG!

Then, an elegant and violent dunk woke him up.

After the dunk, Lu Ming calmly waved his fist, and then ran towards his own half.

The audience at the Nuggets' home court are basically home fans, more Carmelo Anthony fans, so no one applauded Lu Ming's dunk, but when he grabbed the cap, he said "oh".

After Lu Ming dunked, the audience fell silent.

If you want to scold but can't, or want to shush but can't, it's quite uncomfortable.

The game continues.

No playback.

"Beautiful in the air!" After returning to the defense, Lu Ming, who came to JR again, praised him sincerely.

This is the truth.

If it weren't for JR's strong ability to stay in the air, Lu Ming would have no chance to grab the cap.

But this kind of sincere admiration was heard in JR's ears, that is, after the slap in the face, he asked the other person kindly, "Did you see the pose I just slapped in the face? It's too artistic!"

This is humiliating art!
JR, who was angry from his heart, immediately reached out for the ball when he saw that Billups had just passed halftime.

Billups froze, tangled.

"Give me that damn basketball!" JR, who was pretending to be slapped in the face, yelled.

Embarrassed, Billups glanced at coach George Karl on the sidelines.

Off the court, coach George Karl was almost furious when he saw this scene. He almost stood up and scolded this disciple who sometimes had problems with his mind.

Fortunately, he finally held back and waved his hand, "Give him another chance!"

Billups sighed in his heart, and finally passed the basketball to JR-Smith one second later, at the right time.

"I was caught by Lu at the beginning of the game, and Smith will definitely have to return one."

Kenny Smith affirmed JR-Smith's tough attitude, but he was not sure about his choice, "But Smith, a player, has too many problems in the choice of offense."

"Just don't make another cap," Barkley said with a laugh.

On the field, after Billups passed the ball to JR, he didn't step forward to make a screen or a pick-and-roll option, and the other Nuggets players didn't do this either.

Anyone can see JR's attitude that he must return a goal.

If you go up at this time, it's hard to say, it's really possible, and this guy yelled, "Put that damn pick-and-roll away!"

That scene was so embarrassing and embarrassing.

But no one expected that the next scene would be even more embarrassing and embarrassing.

JR-Smith bent over, slapped the basketball hard, stared at Lu Ming, spat trash and threatened, "Rookie, you are dead! Next, don't cry!"

What a sophomore boy!

What a brain circuit of Secondary School!
Lu Ming has been playing in the NBA for a month, and in the NCAA for a year. He has met quite a few black players. To be honest, this is the second-best player so far.

"Please!"

Lu Ming spread his hands out, not only for defense, but also for the posture of "please do what you say".

While dribbling the ball, JR-Smith made a gesture to allow his teammates to open up space.

He decided to use a dunk after a breakthrough to return Lu Ming's color.

The teammates also gave face. Although this guy usually has certain problems in the selection of shots, most of the time, his scoring can open up the offensive space.

Subsequently, JR-Smith squeezed and broke through Lu Ming with his excellent dribble and tough body.

After the breakthrough, the front is a smooth road opened by teammates.

"I must use the strongest strength to dunk this one!" JR-Smith rushed into the paint area and had already thought about it before receiving the ball.

So he collected the ball, jumped up to 90 centimeters, rushed into the air, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and with his arms back, ready to swing round, he dunked with a tomahawk to recover the lost face.

At this moment, he suddenly heard his teammates shout, "Be careful!"

"Be careful of what?"

JR-Smith was puzzled and had no time to think about it.

In the air, the indomitable team has only one choice, and that is, dunk this damn basketball into the damn basket of the Knicks!

But just when he swung his arm halfway, he suddenly felt a force appearing at the end of his arm, preventing him from completing a dunk with his tomahawk!
"That rookie? Impossible!"

JR-Smith's mind went blank for an instant.

Then, the whole person fell out of the air like a bird with its wings broken.

Bang!
When he turned around after falling to the ground, not only to protect himself, but also to see who it was, when he blocked his dunk, the basketball just hit the ground and bounced back, hitting his face.

For a while, the Pepsi Center in Denver was silent, deathly silent.
