Chapter 197 Deadlock(2/2)
It's just that their expressions are a little confused.
They don't know what George Karl called the timeout for... is it just for encouragement?
Okay, then you win!
In the following time, the Nuggets guys continued to have a deadlock with the Suns, and the entire point difference remained at about 4 points.
The atmosphere in the audience seats became less and less as the game lasted, and there were gradually more focused expressions.
Before the start of this game, they really didn't expect that they could play so anxiously. They all thought that this was a game that they could win easily.
Even at the end of the first quarter of this game, many Suns fans thought this would be a massacre for the Suns, who were already leading by double digits at the time.
However, looking at it now, the second place in the Western Conference in the regular season last season still has some foundation. It doesn't matter if it doesn't happen normally. Now once it shows the state of last season, it will be different immediately. The two-digit point difference is hard.
Not to mention having recovered so much, they are still in a stalemate with the Suns until now...
but……
Victory is still ours!
Suns fans are a little more worried.
Amid their chattering, the game also came to the last three minutes.
Carmelo Anthony, who took the ball again, made a "triple threat posture" and took a few breaths to adjust his breathing rhythm before starting to make movements. It can be seen that he is very tired now.
Of course, this is normal. More than 45 minutes have passed since this game... Carmelo Anthony has now scored 34 points. This point difference can already be seen. Carmelo Anthony is in
This game has consumed so much physical energy.
At this time, there are some physical problems, especially for a guy like Carmelo Anthony who has always been a fan of body fat percentage. Is it abnormal?
When Ariza faced him, the fear on his face was also very obvious.
In this game, Ariza feels like he is fighting against a younger Pierce, and this younger Pierce has even better physical fitness and is really difficult to deal with!
This also makes his body tighten unconsciously when he sees Carmelo Anthony holding the ball!
Carmelo Anthony took a tentative step and then directly rushed Ariza. Ariza did not step back. He was still close to Anthony. He knew very well that if he stepped back at this time, the guy would directly shoot.
He has seen Carmelo Anthony use this trick several times in this game.
Therefore, this time he stopped his instinctive defensive steps to retreat and continued to make physical contact with Carmelo Anthony.
But at this moment, Carmelo Anthony was about to jump up and shoot, and the hand holding the ball was leaning directly on Ariza. This was a forced shot!
Ariza now has to retreat if not retreat.
His whole body leaned back, allowing Anthony to gain space to take action. His raised hand suddenly stagnated, and he simply adjusted his center of gravity before taking action again.
"Whoosh!"
The ball goes in!
Anthony's goal silenced the entire American West Arena.
They stared blankly at Carmelo Anthony. This goal was too unreasonable, right?
2 points left!
"Defend, defend!"
Carmelo Anthony, who normally would not yell at his teammates like this, felt the smile of the goddess of victory after hitting this goal. This was a victory he had longed for, and he couldn't help but shout at his teammates.
Yelled.
This shout was indeed effective. The Suns' next attack was blocked by them. When Nene protected the rebound, Carmelo Anthony suddenly became anxious: "Pass, pass!"
From the second quarter, all he was thinking about was winning the game. Now, after working hard for the entire second half, he was standing just shy of the final kick. Even the calmest person would be a little bit psychological.
The changes in the situation, not to mention that Carmelo Anthony's current state of mind is far from being a calm person.
At this moment, he only had eyes for the basket.
Ariza was very close to him, but Anthony let everyone know at this moment how good his unnoticed, but indeed excellent physical fitness was.
Ariza quickly chased him but was pulled away by him.
Another Suns player who recovered quickly enough was Steve Nash.
Unfortunately, after he collided with Anthony, he was squeezed away.
No matter how fast Steve Nash returns to defense, it means he has not returned to defense... understand the applause!
The only thing left in front of Carmelo Anthony is the basket.
He only has eyes for the basket.
After taking a few more strides forward, Carmelo Anthony's entire body had already stepped into the free throw line, and his entire body immediately rose into the air.
As a final touch, he was ready to play a cool game.
For example, a short-distance gliding chop...
Everything went smoothly until Carmelo Anthony stretched out his arm, grabbed the entire ball and rushed toward the basket. When he was about to dunk it in, he heard a "pop" sound, and then he felt the ball.
I can't press it anymore.
On the contrary, there was a huge resistance that pushed his whole body back.
Carmelo Anthony couldn't bear it.
The ball was knocked away.
He also saw the source of resistance at this time...the familiar Suns No. 99!
This guy caught up at the last minute...
Give him a try!
"Hoo!"
Chapter completed!
