Chapter 195: Lightning Raid

The curtain opens, and the show begins.

The Philadelphia 76ers, home game against the Nuggets, officially began after the opening ceremony.

The referee holds the ball to the center circle and signals the players on both sides to get ready, then throws the basketball high into the air.

The game is on!

Hunter and Camby jumped at the same time, in terms of bounce and physical fitness, Camby was still above Hunter, and his arm span was even more staggering, and the gap under this jump was immediately revealed.

"Smack"

Swinging the basketball toward his own half, Blake received the ball steadily, and the Nuggets began their first offense of the game.

“RUN&SCREEN!”

The Nuggets' offensive tactics are simple and complex, and their basic routine is to sink to the bottom with two inside lines, provide continuous cover for Anthony, send him to the strong side to hold the ball, and launch an attack as the first singles point.

Iverson, on the other hand, took advantage of this time to tear up space with his speed that surpassed 99 percent of the league's scoring guards and quickly landed on the weak side.

At this point, Blake will retreat slightly to the weakside, waiting for an opportunity to switch positions with Iverson and open up the space for Anthony on the strong side.

After stepping forward to block and dismantle, Camby will come to the high post and be on the free throw line, ready to receive Anthony's pass and make a secondary distribution.

If things go well on the weak side, Iverson is already outside the 45-degree three-point line by this time, and Blake is in the bottom corner. If Anthony's side can't make a pass on his side, Camby will quickly transfer the ball, and after Iverson gets the ball, he can cooperate with Martin to play a two-man game.

This offensive approach, when the team has two outside strengths, is a tactic that many coaches in the NBA will adopt. However, the Nuggets' situation is a little more nuanced, with both leading scorers close to scoring (Iverson is down slightly, Anthony is not at his peak), Camby is better at playing the ball than most centers, and his overall athleticism is even better. So in the actual operation process, there will be many changes.

Blake's follow-up run, Camby and Martin connected in the high and low posts after each completed their tasks, and Anthony came to the top of the arc to answer the basket. Iverson's breakout is an offensive opportunity that the Nuggets can take advantage of. In the process of ball transfer, if there is a gap, these talented players will use their shots and breakthroughs to deal a fatal blow to the opponent.

As for the lack of ability to play in the back. Although Anthony and Martin are not masters of back playing, they also have more or less two brushes, and it is enough to score points if they can't open the situation.

Moreover, for this Nuggets team, there are very few cases where the offensive end cannot open the situation, and the league's third-highest points per game, and the league's second-best PACE, are the best evidence of the Nuggets' offensive characteristics.

Everything was as Karl had set up, with Anthony receiving the ball on the strong side and Iguodala meticulously defending, and Anthony making a classic tentative move. Iguodala's entanglement and adjustment are in place, and there are no obvious flaws.

However, Anthony has averaged close to 29 points per game this season, and Iguodala's defense is strong, but it is not enough to completely seal him down.

After the sudden retreat after the ball, attracting Iguodala to step forward and press, Anthony made a quick turn to break through, came to the basket and jumped, his trademark two-handed dunk was extremely crisp, and there was a sense of agility in the action.

"Good shot!"

Barkley's love for Anthony is well known, in the original timeline. It wasn't until Anthony was in the darkness of New York that Barkley went from love to hate and began to squirt with his famous mouth. At this time, Anthony was still Barkley's favorite.

See Anthony's offensive moves. Barkley was overjoyed, laughing and admiring, "See him turn around?" It's a little worse than mine, but it's pretty good in the current sissy league! ”

Under the basket on the court, Hunter was pinned down to the free throw line by Camby, Chen Mu was also pulled out of the three-second zone by Martin, and there was no one under the Philadelphia basket. Anthony's dunk was a logical fit.

"The Nuggets have a lot of problems, but the offensive firepower is too strong, and the 76ers are a team that started defense, a bunch of ghosts, if you were Cheeks, how would you deal with the Nuggets?"

Faced with Barkley's question, Kenny Smith thought for a moment and said: "Play to your strengths, cover up your weaknesses, keep your pace down, and fight each other in every round." Andre can somewhat limit Carmelo's attack, and the whole team is familiar with Allen, and his sweet spot and scoring range are even more knowledgeable. Make targeted arrangements, take advantage of the Nuggets' lack of firepower inside, and boldly pinch outside scorers, and Philadelphia may still have a chance to survive. ”

"Well, yes, great job, Kenny." Barkley shook his fat face, and said nonchalantly: "But if it's me, I don't care about the mother's wins and losses and tactics, and I am a real man if I do it with real knives and guns!" ”

"Whoosh!"

Before Barkley could speak, the 76ers had already responded with action.

After Anthony dunked, the Nuggets team just started to defend, and under the basket here, Chen Mu had already sent a deadly long pass.

Iguodala and Chen Mu seemed to have a heart, and the moment Chen Mu ran to the bottom line, Iguodala had already started. In terms of speed, Iguodala also had a faint advantage against Anthony, which accelerated early, coupled with the fact that he was shaken forward after being shaken during the defense, giving Iguodala room to attack.

After receiving Chen Mu's pass, Iguodala began to play the playmaking forward tactics that he was already somewhat familiar with, and under the rapid raid, only Iverson could keep up with the Nuggets.

Fearing Iverson's tackling ability, Iguodala did not make a rash move, but made a quick stop to make way and then sent a smashing pass.

Miller and Korver weren't fast, but they seemed to be quite obsessed with this fast break, desperately running to the frontcourt. Miller was about to receive the pass when he saw that Blake was already chasing after him, and he had an idea. The basketball flew far and came to Korver.

After receiving the ball, Korver stood very far away, and there was still a big step from the three-point line, but this sharpshooter didn't seem to care, staring at the basket with both eyes, and opening his hand was a three-pointer.

"Huh!"

The arc drawn by the basketball is beautiful, and the sound of falling into the basket is shocking, which makes people feel very comfortable, as if they have opened up the second pulse of Ren and Du, and it is indescribably happy.

“BULLSEYE!”

Barkley's shout came as expected, and the fat hand waved wildly for a while, laughing and reaching out to slam Smith's back, and said loudly: "Hahaha! See? See?! ”

"It doesn't matter how strong his mother's opponent is, what kind of defense is strong and weak, no matter how strong his mother's hit rate and reasonableness, go to the special academy positional battle!"

Barkley's eyes flashed with a brilliance that he hadn't seen for a long time, and he seemed to appreciate the fighting spirit and choice of the Philadelphia boys, waving his arms and shouting, "This is the basketball that the boys should play!" ”

"Attack ......?!"

Seeing Korver slowly retreating back with a determined face, the old coach Karl was also surprised. Looking at the eyes of the other Philadelphia players on the court, none of them questioned Korver's choice, as if it was all a pre-game tactic set by the head coach.

"Morris, tell these boys before the game that they want to fight us?!"

Carl was shocked, he didn't expect that the usually calm Cheeks would make such a bold decision.

Playing against the Nuggets?

The 76ers, who are already lacking in attack power and rank at the bottom of the league in scoring, have no strong heads-up 76ers to fight against one of the most firepower teams in the league??

Could it be that the whole Philadelphia team has lost their minds and gone crazy?!

"Cast beautifully!"

Chen Mu, who sent the first pass, and Korwall, who came back to the defense, high-fived fiercely, and the two young people could not see the slightest panic in the face of a strong opponent on their faces, but only calmness and a flame that wanted to win.

"Implement the coach's idea and play against the Nuggets!"

That's right, the 76ers set the tone before the game.

With weak attack power, they want to have an eye-for-an and tooth-for-tat quick offensive battle with the Nuggets, and they are not prepared to have the slightest compromise and concession, but they are fighting for the speed of bayonets!

The Nuggets attacked again, still the same starting run, after Anthony received the ball, Iguodala's defense was more aggressive, and several shakes did not get space, Anthony chose to pass.

Camby at the free-throw line did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and immediately transferred, Iverson picked up the ball, and Martin made a quick block and went straight to the basket.

Let go of Martin, Chen Mu stopped between Iverson and the basket with both hands, and the elf in front of him was afraid of Chen Mu's defensive progress, stopped under his crotch, and then threw his hand backwards.

The basketball almost grazed the fingertips that Chen Mu stretched out after jumping high, and fell into the basket with a roar.

"Flash, lightning, surprise, attack!"

After being scored, Chen Mu was not discouraged at all, but quickly turned around and grabbed the basketball, without even letting the basketball land, stepping out of the bottom line in one step, and returning was a long pass.

"Oops! Defend yourself! Back to Defense!! ”

Iverson also saw the old master's strategy, and hurriedly reminded his current teammates to defend the fast attack, but it was too late.

"Whoosh!"

The basketball was lightning fast, rushing over Iverson's head and sprinting to the front court like a falcon.

This time, the person who broke through quickly became Miller, who took the basketball first with his position advantage, and Miller changed his calm old-school style in the past, and he didn't look at it as a half-turn back pass.

A rare juggling pass, Miller's solid fundamentals were revealed, the basketball rebounded quickly, Iguodala and Korver made a brief fake cover in the middle of the fast break before rushing to the basket, and after receiving the ball, they flew into a violent dunk.

"Bang!"

The score became 5-4, and the Wajovia Center fell silent for three seconds, followed by a shout that was enough to tear down the ceiling and soar into the sky.

The Philadelphia 76ers want to fight the Denver Nuggets to the end! (To be continued.) )
