Chapter 181: New and old accounts(2/2)
Carmelo Anthony wants to win, which means the Nuggets want to win.
But judging from the current situation, there is indeed a reason why this team is ranked sixth in the Western Conference and almost fell to seventh in the Western Conference.
They are indeed no longer as strong as they were last season.
Gentry couldn't see what was wrong with the Nuggets for a while, but one thing he was sure of was that it would be difficult for the Nuggets to regain the feeling they had last season.
When Gentry sees this, his biggest feeling is that the Nuggets guys have obviously been unable to keep up with the Suns' offensive and defensive rhythm from the beginning to now.
To put it more directly... Gentry felt that the Suns were playing a weak team tonight!
Carmelo Anthony's face has been calm tonight, and after the game started, it became so serious that it almost turned frosty.
His expression wasn't just because the score was 5 points behind.
Also because Lin Ri completed a dunk that shocked everyone as soon as he came up!
This is actually Lin Ri's routine operation. Take a look at the "Today's Top Five" this season so far. As long as the Suns are there that night, Lin Ri's dunk will definitely be on the list.
So far, the Suns have played nearly 40 games, and Lin Ri has completed 101 dunks.
He dunks nearly 4 times in a game.

For him, dunking is really just a means of scoring.
And because of his physical fitness, it is naturally difficult for him not to contribute brilliant dunks.
It’s really a routine operation!
Anyway, it can be seen from the fact that many experts no longer specifically discuss Lin Ri's dunks. They have become accustomed to Lin Ri's performance.
But that's other people's opinions, not Carmelo Anthony's.
In his opinion, this guy was provoking him!
But now the Nuggets are lagging behind, and his previous shot didn't hit, so it's not difficult to understand his expression at this moment.
"Boom!"
However, his increasingly irritated face did not affect Lin Ri. Two rounds later, he grabbed an offensive rebound and once again completed a violent dunk.
I want to fight back!
I must fight back!
Carmelo Anthony looked at Lin Ri with his hands spread out as he returned to defense, as if saying "This is too easy," and he couldn't bear it any longer.
He directly asked for the ball from his teammates.
Before the game started, his idea was to keep taking shots to win the Suns, but after seeing the performance of others at the beginning, he decided to provide support first so that his teammates could get better.
After all, he not only has to perform well in this game, but more importantly, he has to win this game. You must know that Lin Ri said before the game that the Nuggets will lose in the first game of the new year...
...This means that as long as the Nuggets don't win this game, Lin Ri's words will come true. At that time, no matter how he performs, he will be slapped in the face.
Therefore, he must win this game!
But now seeing Lin Ri scoring one goal after another, and his current score column is still 0 points, he can't help it.
Now even if Lin Ri moved his fingers, he felt that Lin Ri was mocking him.
From this you can see how bad his mood is now.
He must first score a few by himself before talking about other things!
For Ariza, Carmelo Anthony, like Pierce, is a skilled and powerful wing "heavy forward", a guy he is not good at dealing with.
So before the game started, he discussed with Lin Ri and asked him to cover the defense.
After recently cooperating with Lin Ri on the defensive end, he has become more and more aware of how outstanding Lin Ri is on the defensive end. Now he feels comfortable leaving his back to Lin Ri.
Therefore, he directly chose to pounce forward, using his body to continuously compress Anthony's dribbling space.
Is this guy crazy?
Isn't he afraid of my breakthrough?
Anthony didn't expect Ariza to attack so fiercely, so he adjusted his dribbling rhythm and directly beat Ariza.
He is much stronger than Ariza. Although he did not get rid of Ariza in the first step, he forcefully squeezed Ariza away after entering the free throw line.
Got it!
After driving to the basket and having space to shoot, Anthony felt that his shot was stable.
In this situation, he really has a thousand ways to put the ball in the basket.
After all, he is an "offensive kaleidoscope"!
"Snapped!"
But the next second he took action, there was a crisp sound of hitting the ball.
Carmelo Anthony saw a guy wearing jersey No. 95 on the Suns hook his hand and grab the ball he shot into his other hand.
Chapter completed!
