At this time, the referee threw the ball into the middle, and Chandler and Strovic jumped almost at the same time. Both of them tried to return the ball to their own half. At this time, Chandler’s jumping ability helped him. Although he was not as good as Slovenian in one-on-one combat, he jumped early. As soon as his fingertips touched the ball, he returned it to the Nuggets half-court. Ariza had already observed the movement of the ball, jumped forward quickly, grabbed the ball and then gave it to Nash.
The Nuggets got the first chance to attack in the first game of the Western Conference finals.
The fans at the scene suddenly gave a cheer, and the momentum at home was vividly reflected at this moment.
However, at this time, compared with the scene where the fans are in full swing, the Spurs players’ faces are callous. There is a saying that emotions can be infected. Now, Duncan "leads" the Spurs players, and it seems that they are not affected by the atmosphere at all. After a defense, the Nuggets entered the frontcourt and failed to find a suitable attack opportunity for several consecutive balls.
Anthony is also stared at by Bowen at this time. Although Bowen is one year older, his defense is more sophisticated, his small moves are more hidden and full of offensive defense, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.
However, compared with Bowen’s defense of Anthony, what worries him more now is the situation observed from the field. Compared with the opponent Mavericks in the first round, the Spurs are very different. A team playing Mavericks can beat its opponent with momentum in one breath, but the Spurs are different. Even if you are two points ahead of him, you can’t take it lightly because the latter will chisel the ball back bit by bit, not to mention how difficult it is to lead them by two points. If you are not careful, you may be led by them by two points.
The Nuggets still couldn’t hit the pick-and-roll ball, but it was eaten away bit by bit when they attacked. When they entered the first second, the Nuggets finally had to give up tactical cooperation and let Brand prepare to play Duncan back in the position requirement.
At this time, because Anthony was dogged by Bowen, there was no good opportunity to attack. It was somewhat naive to choose Brand to end the game, but Brand obviously had the ability to attack the position. When the ball was fed to the Nuggets, other players pulled it for 200 years, while Brand turned his back and dug it in.
Tim Duncan, the first power forward in history, not only dominated the game at both ends of the attack and defense at the peak, but more importantly, he was particularly long at the peak.
Duncan, 29, is obviously at the peak of his career.
Brand made a tentative turn to the right after hitting the back. After noticing Duncan’s immobility, he followed a sharp left turn and then made a feint shot. This move was very big. Generally, the player who defended him at this time would definitely change his defensive center of gravity even if he was not shaken, but this round made him feel that Duncan was still motionless!
Brand was surprised, but after all, he was also a steady contributor to the 2+1 player all the year round. After noticing that Duncan’s center of gravity remained unchanged, he held his breath and turned directly to the virtual reality, and the pressure on Duncan was a side throw.
Just then Duncan finally moved. He raised his hand and covered Brand.
Almost at the same time, Brand suddenly gave me an imperceptible smile at the corner of his mouth. He abruptly withdrew back and turned to the other side without stopping!
This movement is a bit strange, and it is very difficult to coordinate and keep moving. Brandli’s body has already left Duncan on the other side. He is blue in front of him, and he is light and he is willing to make a move.
"pa!"
Suddenly life is crisp!
At this moment, Brandt made the fans completely unexpected. After Duncan was dumped, he didn’t know when he turned around. Brandt suddenly slapped him and fanned him away!
Everything changed so fast that by the time everyone reacted, Brand’s shot had been fanned out of bounds and the referee’s whistle rang with it.
The fans at the scene were in an uproar, but Brand was a little stunned. He had just shaken Duncan, but he didn’t expect to finally …
Anthony smiled bitterly at the moment, but others didn’t see him, but they noticed that Duncan had deliberately sold the flaw just now. Perhaps the old rascal had already guessed Brand’s attack mode, and this big reward was cleaner than to be continued.
Chapter three hundred and twenty-two Peak demon knife ()
Duncan blocked Brand’s basketball, but it was still the Nuggets, but there were only two seconds left in the attack, which was equivalent to a successful defense to some extent.
In the last two seconds, according to the usual tactics of the Nuggets, Brand should have helped Anthony pick and roll the ball so that he could have a chance to catch and shoot. In fact, Anthony and Brand did the same. Antonilli Brand picked and rolled to the sideline.
However, just as the pick-and-roll happened, the Spurs’ defense changed. Ginobili didn’t know when to give up his defense. Ariza beat Anthony and served Nash first. The ball was likely to be directly stolen in this direction.
There were five seconds in an offensive serve, and Anthony and Brand played the pick-and-roll tactic, which took about two seconds. At this time, the rest of the Nuggets were stared at by their respective defenders. Only Ariza defended him. Ginobili was one step away from the three-point line because of delaying Nash’s serve. At this time, Nash had no choice but to throw the ball to Ariza’s hand, and the instantaneous sideline timer was timed.
After Ariza catches the ball, don’t choose to defend him at this time. Ginobili is already making up the defense. I’m afraid he doesn’t even have a chance to shoot, but this distance is a little far. For the three-pointer ability, it’s really a bit overwhelming for him, but it’s already imminent. I have to send Ariza to catch the ball, look at the basket and choose to shoot directly.
Ariza’s shooting posture was a little distorted because of the distance, but he finally shot the ball before Ginobili’s defense came and hit the basket straight.
Because it’s too far away, the arc of the ball is very low, and it looks like a smash. The fans can’t help laughing at the edge of the field. If the ball can hit the box, it will be a success. If it is entered, it will be really lucky.
Anthony also felt a wry smile when he saw this scene. Compared with last season, the Spurs’ defense has improved a lot. In the previous round, it can be seen that Duncan has a lot of defensive experience, and the already very deterrent defense has become even more daunting. Ginobili, the main fire scoring point of the Spurs bench this season, seems to have made rapid progress in defensive judgment. It is also reasonable for the Nuggets to fail to score points in this round.
Anthony turned and ran to the line at the moment Ariza shot, ready to get the ball in his hand before it fell.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound, Ariza’s ball slammed into the basket as expected, but in a second, people felt that something incredible had happened. The ball hit the back of the basket and then jumped, and then fell into the net bag in the audience’s dumbfounded eyes.
More than 10,000 people in the arena were silent for a while, and their faces were unbelievable.
“**！”
It’s unbelievable for Ariza to see the goal actually scored. He even didn’t expect the goal to actually score!
"yeah!"
Only then did the home fans recover from the shock and give thunderous applause to the Nuggets players.
Anthony came to prepare for the basket, but Ariza’s goal stopped him. At the same time, he was a little dumbfounded and wondered if it was a hint that God was on the Nuggets’ side.
Anthony then looked up at the Spurs players to see their expressions, but when he really looked up to see the Spurs players’ expressions, he seemed to be extremely depressed as expected. There was nothing to show that Duncan took the ball to the baseline and Parker was ready to catch it. The lucky ball seemed to have no impact on their morale at all.
Anthony spoke for a while, but he was relieved after a while. Isn’t this the state of the Spurs that he knows? Isn’t this the tough opponent he wants to meet?
After figuring this out, Anthony smiled and then retreated to the defense. Thanks to Ariza’s magical three-pointer, the Nuggets took the lead for the first time at home.
However, just as Anthony saw that the Spurs players were not affected, Vicky turned his head in silence and looked at the Spurs’ attack.
After the Nuggets scored, the team’s morale went up. You know, Anthony is not the only one who thinks that if Emperor is on their side, what reason do they have to lose the game?
At this moment, the game rang on the sidelines, and the audience cheered. As soon as Anthony’s thoughts were pulled back, he paid attention to whether the stadium could really create a different history. The game was the best test.
