NBA: No. 1 Forward

December 12, Madison Square Garden Arena.

The game came to the fourth quarter, and there were 3 minutes and 43 seconds left before the end of the game. The score on the court came to 75:89, and the Knicks were in the lead.

But the fans at Madison Square Garden looked nervously at the center of the court. At this time, the players on the court opened up space to watch the duel between the two players in position 3.

It was Lian Dao and Anthony. Anthony was in a very good state in this game, and on the defensive end, he changed his previous eye defense. From the first half, he actually chose to fight Lian Dao in hand-to-hand combat. Lian Dao was also very surprised by this.

The two have been facing each other since the first quarter, but today Lian Dao is more efficient on both offensive and defensive ends. So far, Lian Dao has scored 35 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists, while Anthony has scored 32 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. From the data point of view, Lian Dao also has the upper hand.

But today, Lian Dao's defense against Anthony was not very good. Anthony showed his offensive methods of attacking kaleidoscope today, jumping back, turning around for a layup, turning over and jumping back... Anthony, who has entered the peak state, is even more difficult than James The most important thing about defense is that Anthony has a basket from the outside.

This time it was the Nuggets attacking again, Anthony's classic three-threat ball on the outside, but this time Anthony was more cautious when holding the ball in three-threat, Lian Dao's wingspan was too long, Anthony's three-threat in the first half, He was robbed once by Lian Dao, so he also learned a lot from a fall, and he was much more cautious when using three threats.

I saw that Anthony bent over, lowered the ball, dribbled, and turned around like a washing machine in a signature move, which was a textbook-like brilliance.

However, as soon as the ball was shot and it was still on the rise, he found a huge palm above the basketball.

"Snapped!"

Lian Dao took a deep leap, and directly gave Anthony a volleyball cap with his bounce and wingspan.

The fans in the audience immediately jumped up excitedly and clapped their hands excitedly. This big hat was replayed continuously over the court. The fans watched the two people's extreme performance between the offensive and defensive games, and they not only secretly praised in their hearts: "Enjoyable!" !

It was indeed very enjoyable. From the first quarter, the duel between the two was like a textbook offensive and defensive performance. The key is that the offensive methods of the two are both stretched and elegant. Many fans are more like appreciating a kind of art.

It's just that Lian Dao had already been prepared for Anthony's move. When Anthony turned around, he was ready to retreat to defend, and with Lian Dao's height and wingspan, he didn't need to chase to the basket at all.

This is the defensive area expanded by the wingspan and jumping advantages.

Just like the absolute talent of later generations Antetokounmpo defeated the big hat of textbook technology.

Little Melon Anthony also didn't expect that Lian Dao would take a trick that he tried so hard before, which made him unbelievable.

The Tunneling team still has the ball, but only 2 seconds are left for the Tunneling team. Anthony catches the ball, and it looks like a three-pointer.

Lian Dao jumped up high to block the shot, but it was too difficult to block the shot with a backward shot. Lian Dao had to settle for the next best thing. His wide palm completely blocked Anthony's sight.

"brush!"

The crisp sound of the basketball passing through the net resounded through Madison Square Garden.

78:89.

Anthony excitedly celebrated with three headshots.

This shot Lian Dao has already defended in place, but Anthony, who is in his peak state, can make the shot, so Lian Dao has no choice.

However, this shot also completely aroused Lian Dao's competitive spirit.

The Knicks attacked, and Holiday dribbled the ball across half court. As soon as Lian Dao stood beyond the three-point line, Anthony stood up and opened his arms to defend. Anthony's defensive enthusiasm is very high today. He regards himself as a James, Lian Dao estimates that he will only have such a high defensive enthusiasm when facing James.

Lian Dao resisted Anthony and asked Holiday for the ball.

After Huo Ledi handed the ball to Lian Dao, he ran towards the bottom corner. He knew that this was a duel between the two bosses before, and he consciously helped Lian Dao to open up space.

Lian Dao held the ball and lowered his shoulders, pushed Anthony a little bit, and pushed out a little space. In terms of strength, Anthony is still not as good as Lian Dao.

Immediately, he accelerated to the right and took the first step, with the bonus of the badge of the fastest first step, the space that Lian Dao pushed out passed Anthony, but the two played against each other not once or twice, and Anthony's speed for Lian Dao was also He had been prepared for a long time, so Anthony hurriedly retreated and blocked Lian Dao's breakthrough route again.

It's a pity that Lian Dao's previous breakthrough was a fake move, stopping suddenly, retreating, and shooting quickly while on the move.

It was too late when Anthony realized that he had been fooled. He jumped up to interfere, but found that the basketball in Lian Dao's hand had been shot.

The basketball was still gliding in the air, but Lian Dao, who landed on the ground, turned around and raised a three-point gesture!

"brush!"

78:92!

The confident and pretentious action ignited the passion of the fans again, and everyone stood up to cheer for Lian Dao.

At this time, there were less than three minutes left before the end of the game.

For the Nuggets, Billups still handed the ball to the fiery Anthony. Today, the Nuggets are also online. It’s not that they are not online, but the strength gap is too big. Their inside lineup was defeated by the Knicks. It was overwhelmed. Lian Dao's assists were basically output to Stoudemire, Cousins ​​and Millsap.

It can be said that whether it is the main force or the substitute, the Knicks have blown the Nuggets inside.

So Billups can only pin his hopes on Anthony.

"Melo, you have no chance. The victory in this game belongs to me!" Lian Dao also kept talking trash to interfere with Anthony's mentality.

"Sickle, you talk a lot of nonsense!" After Anthony finished speaking, he used the roller to turn around and pass Lian Dao again. He didn't believe that his classic extraordinary skills could be broken by Lian Dao so easily.

It was still the same layup method as before, and the result was the same as before. It was blocked by Lian Dao again, but this time the basketball shot was picked up by Tony Allen.

Immediately, Tony Allen handed the ball to Lian Dao, and the Knicks' lightning fast break started again.

Unfortunately, this time, Lian Dao was hugged by Anthony.

At the last moment of the game, Anthony's physical fitness has basically bottomed out. He couldn't keep up with Lian Dao's footsteps. Now that he is exhausted, he may not even be able to see the taillights of Lian Dao's car.

If you don't foul at this time, you can only give the Knicks another chance to play a fast break.

Compared with Anthony, Lian Dao still has sufficient physical fitness. He rested for about seven or eight minutes in the second quarter. The Knicks have been leading in the first half. Anthony, who fell into singles in the first quarter, was not as efficient as the second half, so in the first quarter, The Knicks established an advantage.

The Nuggets were behind, and Anthony was not reconciled, so he continued to lead the bench in the second quarter. Up to now, he has not had a rest, and he is now exhausted in the confrontation with Lian Dao on both offensive and defensive ends.

Lian Dao made two free throws. After developing the mid-range shot, Lian Dao dare not say 100% of his free throws, but until now he has maintained a 95% free throw percentage, which is quite domineering!

78:94.

There are 2 minutes and 38 seconds left in the time The Nuggets are 16 points behind and basically hopeless.

Nuggets coach George Karl originally wanted to take a timeout, replace the main players, and give up the game, but watching Anthony on the field ask Billups for the ball again, George Karl pressed the idea of ​​​​calling a timeout.

Since the start of this season, there have been some conflicts between the two. George Karl is very dissatisfied with Anthony's attitude on the defensive end. In addition, Anthony is often nostalgic for nightclubs, often out of form during games, and sometimes even absent from team training. Lateness is even more common.

George Karl has also communicated with him, but so far with little success, and on two occasions the two had fierce quarrels over this.

In fact, he also has a premonition that this phenomenon of players is either dissatisfied with the head coach, or he is dissatisfied with the team and wants to leave the team.

Moreover, George Karl feels that the situation behind will be bigger. After all, the relationship between the two masters and apprentices is not a day or two. He knows Anthony too well.
