Offense and defense transition, the Nuggets attack.

The little flying squirrel beat Boykins and gave him a headache. On the other hand, when Boykins met the little flying squirrel, why didn't he get a headache?

The two of them have the same advantage against most opponents and have unlimited mismatches.

But when the two met, the gap was very small, and the two were at the same speed...

Boykins decisively passed the ball to Anthony.

"Carmelo Anthony, 19 years old, 201 cm, 106 kg, SF/SG, ability evaluation 85, offense 90, defense 78, 81 three-pointers, 86 mid-range shots, 93 layups...averaged 22.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3 rebounds per game.

Assists, 1.4 steals...shooting rate 43.1%, three-point shooting rate 33.5%..."

As soon as Anthony received the ball, Ruben Patterson immediately followed it.

Anthony breaks through!

During the breakthrough, Anthony looked for an opportunity to pull up a jump shot, but as soon as he found the opportunity, Tianzun came up from the right side of the free throw line!

There is no chance for a sudden stop jumper or a sudden stop to take a step back!

Anthony looked for teammates to distribute the ball, but only found Birdman and could only pass it over.

Tianzun's double attack was so sudden that the Birdman didn't even have time to cut inside, catch the ball, and look for his teammates... Liu Xiu, who sneaked past, slapped the ball away with his palm!

Liu Xiu steals!

Start a fast attack!

Tianzun plays in the middle and Xiao Feoshu plays on the wing. The Nuggets' defensive attention is focused on these two people.

Liu Xiu reached the frontcourt and went straight to the basket. Tianzun helped with the pick-and-roll at the free throw line. Liu Xiu made a layup in three steps from the free throw line!

Liu Xiu came on his own, which was unexpected by the Nuggets, and the early attack from the front was even more unexpected by the Nuggets.

This defense is so sloppy!

Not to mention the Nuggets, even Kevin Plitchar felt it was sloppy.

I believed that brat!

But this can also be said to be the defensive choice to lock down Anthony, who scored 7 points in the first half of the quarter, to boost the team's offense; to allow Anthony to score points, and to limit the opponent's ability to improve the team's offense.

Choosing one of the two, Kevin Pritchar chose to agree to Liu Xiu's immature suggestion when Maurice Cheeks asked him in the eyes.

It was so obvious that Liu Xiu wanted to compete with his old teammates.

When both options are available, the two coaches certainly support their rookies.

It was the Nuggets' turn to attack. The Flying Squirrel was limited on the offensive end and chose to work hard on the defensive end.

After giving up "my star face", the little flying squirrel changed so much that the whole game pressed against Boykins!

It’s useless to defend against others, but it’s really useful to defend against Boykins!

Boykins threw the ball, and Joan Barry received the ball and pushed it to the frontcourt for Anthony, who launched the attack.

Nene pulled to the outside, Birdman cut inside, Dale Davis took it back, Nene received Anthony's point shot and shot...missed!

Shuangdan's Nene is more vigorous, but Shuangdan's Nene only has shooting talent, and has not yet transformed his talent into ability.

Liu Xiu grabbed the defensive rebound and started a fast break!

Anthony blocked Liu Xiu's fast break and successfully prevented Liu Xiu from advancing the fast break.

Anthony is really the only perimeter player on the Nuggets who can withstand Liu Xiu's speed, strength, and tonnage.

Falling into a positional battle, Liu Xiu launched an attack from a low position.

Reuben Patterson caught the ball in the high post and missed a jump shot.

In a hand-to-hand fight with Anthony, Kobe's finisher's touch had a great impact.

But when Reuben Patterson gets an opportunity, his teammates will give it to him. This teammate is very stable in catching and shooting from a high position. He fights with the opponent's strongest perimeter in almost every game, but his career shooting percentage so far is 52.1%.

, a high-post shot half a step away from the top corners on both sides of the free throw line. His shooting percentage from this position so far this season is as high as 45.1%.

For comparison, on mid-range shots from this distance, Garnett shot 44.8%, Nowitzki shot 46.2%, Kobe 43.1%, and Duncan 41.5%...

The Trail Blazers failed to grab an offensive rebound and succeeded in protecting the ball inside.

The little flying squirrel made a contribution, interfering with Boykins' ball and preventing the Nuggets from starting a fast break.

Falling into a positional battle, the ball was again in Anthony's hands.

Reuben Patterson continued to defend Anthony. Anthony stood still and the triple threat feinted.

Reuben Patterson chose to defend and shoot!

Anthony has almost never encountered such a defense since entering the NBA. He is Black Bird's all-around scoring kaleidoscope!

If you don’t understand, stop thinking about it, break through!

Anthony easily attracted the double attack and successfully released the ball, and the ball came into Nene's hands.

Nene did not shoot directly, but took a step closer to the three-second zone, as close as possible to the basket, and before the defense was in place, he made a throw...hit!

The Nuggets create scoring opportunities more easily!

The Nuggets players were very happy about this situation, and they were praising their strongest rookie when they retreated.

Compared with the Nuggets who easily created scoring opportunities, the Trail Blazers seemed to be struggling a lot.

Pushing forward at a tight pace, after halftime, the ball was passed to Liu Xiu in the low post. Liu Xiu turned over and made a jump shot...it went in!

19 to 18, although the Trail Blazers once again took the lead, this attack lasted a full 19 seconds, which took 8 seconds longer than the Nuggets' score just now.

It gives the impression that the Nuggets have regained the initiative after experiencing a brief setback.

The score was overtaken, but Liu Xiu came up and scored 6 points with a strong performance.

The fans at the scene were very worried about this situation.

However, as the game progressed, people suddenly discovered that the Nuggets' scoring rate, which had always been able to easily create shooting opportunities, was not as easy as it seemed!

Instead, the Trail Blazers, who were slowly playing positional warfare, had the upper hand in the score!

At 10 minutes and 36 seconds of the first quarter, after the Trail Blazers extended their lead to 4 points 26-22, the Nuggets replaced Andre Miller and Camby, but this failed to reverse the Nuggets' victory.

Decline.

On the contrary, the Nuggets players played even more panicked and anxiously after calling a timeout!

In the last 1 minute and 24 seconds, the Trail Blazers scored 4 points, which was quite satisfactory, but the Nuggets only scored 2 points!

Earlier, the Trail Blazers went on a 13-6 run, overtaking the score and leading by 4 points before entering the timeout. The fans at the scene were dumbfounded.

Because it seems that the Nuggets have been occupying the initiative on the court, it is easy for players to be free to attack.

But after coming back from the timeout with one and a half minutes left, everything became clear.

It seems easy for the Nuggets to have opportunities, but most of the time, players who have opportunities cannot seize them well.

In other words, many of the opportunities easily created by the Nuggets were given by the Trail Blazers!

Since it is offered on your own initiative, there must be a choice!

After the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Nuggets by 6 points 30 to 24 entering the intersection.

In the live broadcast of T.N.T Sports, Kenny Smith strongly praised the Trail Blazers' adaptability.

Buckley interrupted: "It's so despicable! The prison team is so despicable! Do they dare to let the warden and Anthony compete one-on-one?"

Barkley was so irritable because Liu Xiu came up and scored 8 points in the second half of the first quarter, while Anthony finished the first quarter with 9 points! It was almost over!

"I don't think the Blazers are that stupid."
Chapter completed!
