Chapter 209 Melon's Counterattack

In terms of one quarter, Wade’s performance suppressed Anthony. The Lakers’ tactics focused on catching the Nuggets’ weaknesses, staring at the unfavorable power forward position and forcing Bzdelik to play in the second half of the first quarter. Replaced Ryan Bowen top power forward position.

Ryan Bowen, who can play the swingman in the third and fourth positions, is not particularly outstanding. Except for his fighting spirit, every time he plays, he will strictly implement the coach's arrangement, try his best to defend the opposing players, and use everything There is a way to prevent the opponent from scoring, because only in this way can he continue to gain a foothold in the league.

But with the addition of Anthony, there will be basically no Bowen's position at the small forward position, and as a power forward, his height of just over two meters and his poor physical condition cannot be competent for a long time, so in the new season, Bowen As a victim, his playing time has shrunk by more than half, from an average of 15 minutes per game to less than 7 minutes per game.

Ryan Bowen, who was ordered in the face of danger, did not disgrace his mission. His footsteps are much faster than Skitishvili. Wade only needs one step to pass Skitishvili, but it may take three steps to pass Bowen. Although the scoring efficiency has not decreased, but the physical consumption is still very large, at the beginning of the second quarter, Zen Master replaced Wade to rest.

Due to the absence of Kobe and Billups, Raja Bell and Battier did not have the ability to organize the ball. When Wade and Garnett were off the court for a rest, the Lakers played a little chaotically. The most effective tactic became With Artest attacking with the ball, the four opened up to watch him perform alone.

No matter who the Lakers' attack is focused on, Ryan Bowen has taken the lead in resisting the front line. He blocked Wade's charge a few times at the end of the first quarter, and now acts as a human sandbag to defend against Artest's crushing attack.

With Bowen as the first line of defense, Camby's blocks are soaring, Artest's awareness of the ball is average, and he is often strong when he gets the ball. Camby's assist defense blocks are more unscrupulous, so don't worry about missing your own The defenders let the opponent eat the pie easily.

As the Lakers' offense stagnated, the Nuggets hit consecutive counterattacks, and the backup duo Earl Boykins and Chucky Atkins, the shortest backcourt in the league, relied on nerve-wracking three-pointers to make a living. After a few strong three-pointers, the score will be overtaken.

The Zen master had to call a timeout. There was no way to play without an organizer on the field. Artest's ability to play the ball was too poor. The two 3D Bell and Battier were basically running back and forth.

Garnett returned to the field, as the command tower role.

The effect was immediate, and the distribution of the Lakers' ball rights was immediately organized. Nene, who played a poor starter some time ago, faced his old club and came off the bench.

Nene, who had held back for a long time, waited for a chance to vent her anger.

Garnett held the ball, and Ryan Bowen, who worked hard, gave up Artest who returned to the corner and faced Garnett.

The huge difference in height between the two determined that it was impossible for Bowen to guard Garnett. After Garnett held the ball, he turned around and made a fake shot.

Camby came to help defend, but Garnett's ball skills and awareness were much better than Artest's. With a casual throw, the basketball passed Camby's fingertips and flew to the other side of the basket. Nene took off , Violent bombing with both hands!Hanging from the basket, Nene swings around Camby's head.

Camby was solidly in the background once and decided to get back on the scene.

The Nuggets attack and Camby asks for the ball near the free throw line.

Legend has it that Duncan delayed participating in the draft for a year because he was afraid of Camby's existence.

Looking back at those years, the Naismith Award was once an unparalleled award in the American basketball world. Most of the players who won the award became the top picks of the year, and they were in charge of the league, such as Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, David Robinson and Tim Duncan, of course, Camby also won the Naismith Award in 95-96 before participating in the draft.

But to put it bluntly, Camby was barely half a chip ahead of Duncan, who was two years younger than him, in a game where both sides were playing iron.

Camby's anti-human shooting posture is destined to be impossible for him to become a big killer inside, and his frequently injured vitreous physique limits his development.

Ignoring Atkins who was asking for the ball from the outside, Camby slammed Nene, turned over with a trebuchet and missed a jumper.

After Garnett grabbed the backcourt rebound and stabilized his rhythm, he dribbled through half court and handed it to Artest.

The defender who defended Artest became a veteran shooter, the new three-pointer Voshan Leonard, regardless of height, weight or athletic ability, Leonard could not be compared with Artest, and was crushed to the basket by Artest Down, layup.

Bzdelik replaced Boykins and Leonard with Andre Miller and Anthony, with Atkins playing the second position and defending Raja Bell.

Only 5 of 2 shots in the first quarter, Anthony's rhetoric before the game is about to be slapped in the face again.

Of course, the little melon with a heart higher than the sky can't bear this kind of thing to happen. He is the man who wants to beat James. How can he fall in front of Artest three times in a row.

Anthony used Ryan Bowen's screen to get out and Andre Miller got the ball.

But Anthony didn't shoot the ball the first time, Miller sighed secretly, and the good gap turned into a single with the ball.

In the season when the Cleveland Cavaliers won the assists title, Andre Miller averaged 10.9 assists per game. His teammates were Ramond Murray, Jumaine Jones and Ricky Davis that season. The likes, in terms of quality, are far worse than this season's Nuggets, but this season, Miller's average assists per game plummeted to 6.1 times.

Anthony is doing three threats, but there are only two threats, and he usually does not choose to pass the ball.

Artest lowered his center of gravity and stood ready.

After two tentative steps, it was discovered that Artest had no intention of being fooled. Anthony suddenly pulled up the mid-range shot. This ball was not a reasonable shot, but the goal is the last word.

Cheers erupted in the Pepsi Center Arena, and Anthony's touch recovered, which is a good thing for the Nuggets.

Owning the advantage of the Highland Devils' home court, the Nuggets launched a fierce counterattack in the second quarter. After Anthony made a mid-range shot, he felt out of control. Whether it was a three-pointer or a dunk, he also scored in a single quarter. With 13 points, defensive expert Artest looked a little embarrassed.

作为湖人外线唯一靠谱持球点的韦德，在休息到了第二节还剩4分钟时才登场，单节4投2中，2罚1中得到5分。

The Lakers' lack of major generals and Zen Master's mysterious rotation caused the Lakers' offense to often be constipated. Under Anthony's outburst, the Nuggets blasted a score of 37 to 25 in the second quarter, leading the Lakers by 8 points.
