Chapter 43 Spirit from the Piston Age

Chapter 43 From the spirit of the piston era
Denver, Pepsi Center.

The cheers came and went, the fans here have not stopped cheering since the start of tonight's game, and they have always maintained strong energy.

In this game, both teams staged an extremely exciting offensive and defensive battle. The two teams continued to use their own good offensive methods to try to destroy the opponent's defense and win this victory.

"Melo has the ball, he made a gesture to prepare for singles, and his teammates opened up the space, ready for Melo to launch a personal attack!" Jeff Van Gundy, who was in the commentary, had a flash of light in his eyes. He understood Here comes the play.

Since the Nuggets selected Carmelo Anthony in 03, they have been a team that cannot be underestimated. When any team has a top scorer like Anthony, the game will not become so It's easy.

Although Carmelo Anthony often shows a melon-like smile, once his desire to score rises, any team will have a headache. Top scorers are destined to be unstoppable. Traits, or there is no solution to the offensive method, and one trick can be used all over the place.

There is no doubt that Anthony is such a player. His offensive methods are too comprehensive. He can use emergency stop jumpers, post-up singles, fadeaway jumpers, breakthrough layups and multiple scoring techniques.

This undoubtedly puts a lot of pressure on Corey Brewer. Any small forward in the league dare not relax in the face of Carmelo Anthony's offense. The offensive method of throwing that damn ball is undoubtedly a torture to the defender's brain.

Brewer opened his hands, and his super long wingspan was like an eagle spreading its wings, firmly blocking Carmelo Anthony's offensive line. As long as Anthony tried to break through and enter the basket in an instant, Brewer would be able to Relying on his quick speed, he stopped in front of Anthony for the first time, firmly restraining Anthony.

But obviously Anthony didn't like this. He touched the short beard on the upper edge of his lips, showing a melon-like smile, but kept moving his hands, ignoring Brewer's defense, and dribbled the whole person to the basket. go in.

A ruthless look flashed in Brewer's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and pushed it up, but was firmly held by Carmelo Anthony's strong body. The huge force came from Anthony's back, which made Brewer feel a little painful for a moment, only I felt that I hit a thick wall in an instant, and the inertia of the body's rapid forward movement was interrupted in an instant. Brewer was stuck in that position. After being impacted by Brewer, Anthony still Jumps up for mid-range shots with ease.

At this time, Brewer could only stretch out his long arms helplessly, trying to block Anthony's sight, but it was too late to make this action at this moment. With Brewer's long arms closing his eyes, Anthony was still able to bounce With excellent vision at the time, he easily dialed the basketball out.

This ball cannot be defended at all, and the basketball can only be pinned on Anthony's touch!

Brewer is a little helpless, now seems to be the heyday of small forwards, flank defense has become an issue that more and more teams need to consider, but players like him are becoming more and more sad, the rules of the perimeter are constantly changing, how to defend Those outside superstars have become one of the things that blue-collar players like him need to consider most.

"Shh!"

The basketball entered the net hollow, with a beautiful arc in the air, and hit the net firmly. The Nuggets fans in the stands cheered. The team's superstar scored such a wonderful performance, which naturally made them quite happy.

Li Shihao looked serious, walked past Brewer, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Cory, don't be discouraged, remember this ball first, I will find a chance to let you hit it back later!"

"No need, Bruce, this game requires me to contribute more on the defensive end, and I'll leave the offense to you!"

Brewer shook his head, rejecting Li Shihao's kindness, his expression didn't relax a bit, instead, he ignited a raging fighting spirit.He is a quiet and down-to-earth person. His strength has never been the offensive end, but the defense that suffocates the opponent on the defensive end.

Since the opponent launched a challenge tonight, he naturally can't easily admit defeat, he must let him taste all kinds of tricks he has on the defensive end!
Subsequently, Carmelo Anthony found that Brewer's attention on the defensive end was more concentrated, and his intention to try to open the situation on the offensive end gradually became difficult.

It has to be said that Brewer is indeed quite scary when he is serious. Brewer's excellent physical fitness is enough to allow him to defend from the first to the fifth position, but this is just a general talk. In the game, Brewer is still very good as a swingman. His defensive ability is enough to establish a defensive gate on the outside. Any outsider who meets such a player will not have the slightest offensive means. smoothness.

Anthony saw that the chance of offense was not great, so he passed the basketball back to the team's point guard Chauncey Billups, and let the team's backcourt brain organize the offense.

After receiving the ball, Chauncey Billups was not in a hurry, lowered his center of body, dribbled the basketball steadily, observed the situation on the field, and looked for opportunities to attack.

His ball-handling skills are very distinctive, which is very different from most point guards in the league today. There is no extra fancy moves, and he is extremely simple.

Really restrained, no edge!
However, Li Shihao, who had fought against Chauncey Billups, understood that this was definitely not the true face of this old-fashioned point guard. When you relax, you will suddenly be shot coldly, and a series of deadly attacks will blind you and take you away in waves.

This grassroots FMVP in 04 perfectly inherited the style of the Pistons period, simple and deadly!

Many retired basketball legends have commented: "Chauncey Billups is a seriously underrated player. He has the ability to make his teammates better. He is a great player who can be ranked in the Hall of Fame! "

The epee has no sharp edge, and it doesn't work!
This is the style of Chauncey Billups. After years of quiet experience in the Motor City, the playing style honed is unpretentious, restrained and sharp, but can kill with one blow!
He has the imprint of the invincible Pistons in the 03-04 season. No, it should be said that he is one of the souls of the Pistons in that period!

This is the spirit of the Piston Legion from the old days!

It can be said that if Chauncey Billups' old arms and legs go to participate in the league's All-Star Skills Competition, he will undoubtedly be eliminated in the preliminary round. This low-key and honest point guard belongs to the game, and high-intensity games will wake him up The sleeping unyielding fighting spirit in the body!
Chauncey squinted his eyes and swept across the field, his drooping eyelids moved slightly, the ball in his hand was accurately inserted into the basket, passed a straight line across a personal wall post, and accurately passed to Kenyon Martin inside The latter didn't hesitate after receiving the ball, and poured the basketball into the basket vigorously with both hands, a heavy and violent dunk.

"Bang!" The roar of the basket being violently impacted was clearly transmitted to the entire Pepsi Center through the loudspeaker behind the basket.

"Boooooooooooom!"

The DJ at the home court of the Nuggets saw this extremely morale-boosting heavy dunk, and the secretion of adrenaline hormone couldn't help but speed up a bit. Holding the microphone, he began to try to cheer up the enthusiasm of the fans in the audience!

Kenyon Martin bent his arms, showing off his muscular upper arms on the field, and at the same time he opened his mouth and roared, his eyes were extremely domineering, like a King Kong with angry eyes!
All the fans in the audience responded enthusiastically, and the cheers became louder and louder. Who wouldn't want to see such a wonderful scene that can speed up the secretion of adrenaline hormones like a dunk!

The five best balls of the night can't escape!

Chauncey Billups stood there obediently, eyes still drooping, seemingly nothing to do with just getting the ball, still low-key, "It's none of your business, hang on! "

It's a matter of flicking clothes to hide merit and fame, and Billups has done this deeply!
A gleam flashed in Li Shihao's eyes, and his teeth were itching with hatred. A player like Chauncey Billups should really go to a team like the Spurs. Popovich must like such a player very much!

Maybe the GDP combination will be replaced by then!
But in the face of Li Shihao's problem, how to limit the offensive tactics of the Nuggets, how to maximize the limit of Billups' role on the court?

To be honest, Li Shihao still doesn't have a clear answer in his mind!
