Chapter 197 Deadlock(1/2)
Carmelo Anthony hit this three-pointer, and his whole body suddenly exploded. When he was returning to defense, he stretched out three fingers and poked his head with a fierce expression.
The score difference is only 1 point.
Gentry looked at Carmelo Anthony's hot touch and became serious. He put his hands around his chest and stared sternly. Although he didn't say anything yet, his entire expression said everything.
You guys cheer me up quickly!
Steve Nash dribbled to the frontcourt and called Lin Ri very aggressively to play a pick-and-roll with him.
However, after the pick-and-roll, he did not go inside. Instead, he used Lin Ri's cover to retreat outside the three-point line and shoot a three-pointer directly.
Steve Nash actually wanted to return a three-pointer!
This was a bit beyond the expectations of the Nuggets defensive players.
Up to this point in the game, Steve Nash has been attacking directly inside whenever he gets the ball, and then passes the ball to Lin Ri, allowing this guy who can cause huge damage inside to attack.
The effect of this trick is really effective!
The Suns once opened up a double-digit score in the first half, and a very important reason for this was Lin Ri's impact on the inside.
However, "the same trick cannot be used a second time against the Saints." Although these guys from the Nuggets are not Saints, they are also facing the combination of Steve Nash and Lin Ri.
Gradually some adaptation occurred, and the effect suddenly declined.
Steve Nash also noticed this and just made some changes.
This unexpected three-point shot was the change.
Judging from the current situation, the opponent did not react.
No, Steve Nash completed the shot very easily.
"Whoosh!"
Moreover, the ball successfully fell into the basket.
The score difference returned to 4 points again.
"Defend, defend, don't let Carmelo Anthony rush into the paint so easily again!"
Gentry watched Steve Nash stand up at this time, and he let out a long breath in his heart, but he didn't dare to relax. He saw Carmelo Anthony get the ball again, and in his current state
, he really can’t guarantee that the Suns can guard him.
This kid is really... difficult to deal with!
Gentry now understands how terrifying this league's famous super scorer will be once he breaks out!
The entire Suns team surrounds Anthony.
But Carmelo Anthony, who had no hesitation in taking the ball in the previous attack, waited and watched after taking the ball. Then when Billups came out to respond, he gave the ball to Billups and then headed towards the baseline.
The low position sank.
He has integrated into the team's tactical system again!
Start to contain the Suns' low-post defense by not having the ball.
The Suns really didn't dare to let him alone in the low post. He just came up and made a pull-up three-pointer, which went directly into the basket. This, this, who dared to let him go?
His containment allowed Billups and Kenyon Martin to complete the cooperation in the paint. The latter also dunked in front of Lin Ri in this game.
He cooperated!
He started to cooperate!
OMG, he really started to cooperate with the whole team to attack. This is not a dream!
OMG!
George Karl almost cried when he looked at the goal scored by the Nuggets in this round.
This was a very iconic goal of the Nuggets last season. It is somewhat similar to the "triangle offense"'s super ace sinking to contain the flank defense, but the "triangle offense" uses one strong point to contain the other strong point.
The point will not encounter double teams, forming a singles space tactic, and the purpose of George Karl's arrangement is to form a small-scale sports battle, relying on the cooperation and athletic ability of the players to solve the problem.
In this tactic, if Carmelo Anthony doesn't catch the ball at the beginning, he will basically have no chance to get the ball again. This is why he averaged less than 23 points per game last season.
But that year, they reached the Western Conference Finals!
This is enough to prove that there is no problem with the tactics and the results are very good.
Unfortunately...some people are no longer as determined as they were last year.
Of course, now, seeing such an offense on the court, George Karl is convinced that the Nuggets can still play in this game!
The score difference came to two points again.
Steve Nash continued to call for pick-and-rolls. This time, the Nuggets' outside players were not fooled. They noticed Steve Nash's possible retreat and moved towards him immediately.
But the problem is, when they followed Steve Nash and ran out, Lin Ri was in a one-on-one situation.
As soon as he passes the ball...
"Boom!"
Lin Ri easily completed the dunk under the basket.
Kenyon Martin is finding it increasingly difficult to defend Lin Day alone.
The point difference was pulled back to 4 points.
hiss!
It’s not easy!
George Karl took a breath.
After looking at these two rounds, Steve Nash and Lin Ri's pick-and-roll tactics made him feel a little tricky.
Because he couldn't simulate an effective method in his head for the time being.
"Whoosh!"
Fortunately, in the next round, Carmelo Anthony hit another mid-range shot, helping the team narrow the point difference to 2 points.
It also gave him time to continue thinking.
The situation on the court gradually fell into anxiety, and Lin Ri also had a little change in his view of Carmelo Anthony. No wonder this guy is so arrogant, he is indeed quite good!
Of course, it's not surprising that Lin Ri didn't take him to heart before and thought of dunking him. It was really because his performance in the last game was too poor and it was too in line with the characteristics of cjb.
But now, let alone saying that this guy was LeBron James and the "double pride" back then, even if he said that he defeated LeBron James at that time, Lin Ri would believe it.
The feel is here, and the performance is really unnatural!
but……
We won't lose either!
Lin Ri once again cooperated with Steve Nash in the pick-and-roll and successfully got the ball, but at this time Afflalo made up for his position in time, preparing to double-team inside and outside.
Lin Ri was not polite to him and passed the ball toward the "dunk king" from the outside.
"Whoosh!"
Three-point hit.
Lin-Chris Webber-Sunday used this goal to overturn some of the ideas that George Karl had already thought of in his mind.
It’s too difficult, it’s too difficult!
George Karl never thought that he would be embarrassed like this by a young newcomer.
This is unreasonable!
Oh, this guy is indeed not a reasonable guy!
George Karl thought about Lin Ri's achievements after entering the league and thought to himself.
He was not discouraged. After overturning his defensive assumptions, he started simulating new defensive strategies again...
However, George Karl thought about this thought for a whole quarter, and until the fourth quarter started, he could not think of any reasonable plan.
Fortunately, after Carmelo Anthony integrated into the Nuggets' tactics, the entire Nuggets' offense was very fierce, which made their points difference behind hover between 3 and 6 points...
Seeing that more than three minutes of the fourth quarter were almost over, George Karl slapped his forehead and made a decision...
He called a timeout, and then called all the Nuggets players coming off the court in front of him: "Guys, I will just say one thing now, this game has reached this stage, I don't want to say anything else.
Yes, next, we will fight hard... This is not impossible, look at the current score difference! Let us win, I believe in you, guys, gogogo!"
He served these guys a bowl of "chicken soup".
Well, yes, that's what he decided.
He definitely can't think of a way, but he still has a mouth, and he can also say some tricks, um, no, he can say some impassioned words, that's enough!
Just do it and it’s done!
gogogo!
To the constant clapping of George Karl, the Nuggets guys came back on the court.
To be continued...
