Basketball: starting from the nerve knife

Chapter 349: Advancing to the East

The competition officially began soon.

Howard managed to grab the first offensive rights for the team.

Today’s Explorers’ entire formation has changed a lot, Tyronn Lue does not have a “spore” on his head, defending a small man like Chris Paul, he knows very well that Beverley is still a person with strong biting ability, which is more suitable.

Chris Bosh and Wiggins are still on the field anyway, and the team has no shortage of ball carriers.

Chris Paul faced Beverley and gritted his teeth as soon as he came up. – Beverley didn’t give him a chance to communicate with his teammates at all, taking the initiative to fight, forcing him to run with the ball.

It’s just that in the face of Li Wan and Wiggins’ defense, he can’t go deep at all, and he can’t penetrate the ball at all.

There was no way, he had to back away and call Howard to pull out of the three-point line.

The blocking quality of “Warcraft”.

Breaking through to the basket, he threw the ball towards Thaddeus Young on the other side.

The ball continued to shift and came to Anthony’s hands.

Facing Wiggins, he hit the ball with his back and immediately hit it with a jumper.

2-0！

The ball was converted, it was the turn of the home Columbus to attack, the scene cheered loudly, but when entering the position to attack, they automatically “silenced”, Wiggins held the ball to face Anthony, made good use of his speed, mid-range face hook, Cameron Anthony desperately pounced, forming a certain interference.

The ball hit the basket and fell straight out.

“Master Huo” faced Adams, and was not tempered at all by the latter.

Li Wan grabbed the ball with one hand, his body was still in the air, and completed the buckle.

“Phew!”

The cheers of the audience were deafening.

2-2 draws.

On the way back, Tyronn Lue continued to signal the entire outside defense to expand outward.

Do not give Chris Paul the opportunity to organize.

“CP3” barely got out of the first round by blocking at the three-point line, and now the Explorers have pressed the entire lineup to the three-point line and still guarded the joint defense. He tried to block and finally decisively handed the ball over.

Unknowingly, the “queen bee” of that year is now 32 years old.

After the big injury that year, there was still such a lost strong ability, and now it disappears as he ages.

Now his role is more to push the counterattack with the ball and play with experience.

This is also the reason why the “Nets Big Three” is getting weaker.

They are not just one person in such an embarrassing period, “Master Huo” and Cameron Anthony are both in such a period!

However, compared to Chris Paul, Howard has regained some peak energy because of the change in rules; Cameron Anthony, like Paul Pierce, their technical ability makes their scoring explosiveness not as good as before, but as long as they want to perform, they can still play a very decent attack.

Carmelo Anthony tonight is just at a time when he is desperate to show himself!

Chris Paul reluctantly passed the ball, which he held in his hand, and he made a flanking block with Bogdanovic to successfully change Wiggins in front of him again.

Wiggins struggled to press Anthony with his chest, but was still pushed high by his bigger, turning over and hitting a mid-range shot again.

The jump shot of “melon”, steady in one word, he only said once.

4-2！

Drexler looked at Anthony’s resolute eyes and nodded slightly.

Before the game, he felt Anthony holding his momentum tonight.

I didn’t expect to fight so fiercely as soon as I came up!

Bill Wharton sees more change in Cameron Anthony: “Tonight Cameron is more looking for Andrew Wiggins!” ”

The original Cameron Anthony was also a dozen Columbus Explorers, as if to prove something, so he was excited to find Li Wan to play every game.

It doesn’t matter if it’s offensive or defensive.

Tonight is different, and he doesn’t compete with Li Wan from the beginning.

Li Wan also felt that something was missing when playing with the Nets after the opening, and at this moment, watching Cameron Anthony’s consecutive goals, he also reacted at this time:

Missing confrontation with Cameron Anthony!

He actually enjoyed playing against Anthony, after all, this guy was really good enough to fight against.

There is a rough feeling that the old ladies in the northeast are shouting “Brother, you can kill me”.

I don’t know why, I didn’t look for him tonight, and I specifically wore Wiggins to hit this point.

Well……

Jason Kidd still has a bit of a brain!

As far as the flanks are concerned, Cameron Anthony does play Wiggins to his strengths, and this gap is not a decoration.

What Li Wan didn’t know was that it wasn’t Jason Kidd’s tactics that were arranged, but that “Melon” figured it out himself.

Since it is a “talent show”, let Li Wan and Columbus’s fathers and fellow countrymen see what kind of ability the future “Explorers Team Two-in-Chief” has, then why did he catch Li Wan, the two-time winner of the “Best Defensive Player Award”?

He didn’t want to prove that he was more powerful than Li Wan now…

What he wants to prove is that he is better than Columbus except Li Wan!

So……

Dry Wiggins is done!

It’s just that Wiggins’ anger was obviously stunned out by him these two blows.

Young man, it is indeed angry!

After the next round of the ball, against Cameron Anthony, finding the opportunity is a forced breakthrough, and the distance between the free throw line and a quick stop.

This moment showed his excellent physical coordination.

Just look at Cameron Anthony across from him.

The “melon” that has been clinging to Wiggins in his sudden “sharp brake”, failed to stabilize his figure, the whole body fell out more than two steps, and there was a huge cheer on the scene, Wiggins twisted his body for a small throw, and easily dried the ball into the basket.

Now Cameron Anthony’s temper also came up completely.

The first quarter was almost a match between Anthony and Wiggins.

As one of the league’s top scorers of the year, Cameron Anthony’s scoring explosiveness has come down, but his attitude stimulated his form, scoring 11 points in a single quarter.

The last time he scored double digits in a single quarter was last time.

Anyway, Bill Wharton defyed Anthony’s overall game statistics record in this year’s playoffs, and this is the first time this year that he has scored double-digit points in a single quarter on the playoff stage: “Cameron played really well tonight!” ”

However, Wiggins was no less than him, scoring nine points in the first quarter, just one two-pointer.

But Carmelo Anthony is the Nets’ top scorer, Wiggins isn’t. With the blessing of the “give the ball to Li Wan” tactic, Li Wan easily shot 5 of 6, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 14 points!

And the Nets Chris Paul plus Howard two people, only to get 10 points…

But on the Columbus Explorers’ side, there is also a Chris Bosh score that did not count.

Even if he only got an understatement of 5…

It’s also enough to give the Columbus Explorers a 7-point lead 34-27!

The Nets, with the exception of Cameron Anthony, really can’t keep up with the rest of Columbus.

No wonder Howard can only “eat pie” for so many years, Chris Paul is increasingly unable to remember the password of “St. Paul”, and the scores of the “Big Three” are all supported by Cameron Anthony alone.

As far as the current growth of Bogdanovic and Thaddeus Young, it is really a bit difficult for these two children to expect the two of them to “add bricks and bricks”, and you expect them to give you a “tall building on the ground”.

It can’t be done a little.

The first quarter of the game also became a microcosm of the whole game.

Cameron Anthony dragged the Nets’ “giant ship” alone, while the Columbus Explorer team made a concerted effort to cross the finish line early.

121-102, the Columbus Explorers beat the Nets by 19 points to win the first victory in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Li Wan cut 33 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block;

Wiggins chipped in 24 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists;

Chris Bosh chipped in 21 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks;

Beverley started with 6 points and 2 steals;

Brogdon came off the bench and played a “dimensionality reduction” performance, scoring 17 points in 15 minutes, which is easier than playing preseason, this year’s Columbus team started by 12 points, and the bench won 5 points by his play!

On the Nets side, “Warcraft” Howard had 15 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks; Chris Paul 18 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists;

In fact, the performance is not bad, but it is indeed not the level of the peak period.

Their performance made Cameron Anthony look so dazzling, and the game ended with “Melon” scoring 33 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists.

There is a feeling of dreaming back to Nuggets…

It’s just that Cameron Anthony, who is “alone”, is not as hot as he was back then, but is very satisfied.

Under the witness of Columbus fans, playing such a performance must be enough to make them impress themselves, right?

As long as the Explorers don’t win the championship this summer, when he comes, he will definitely be strongly welcomed by Columbus fans, and the welcome comments he has already thought of:

“Digging, 03 golden generation melons!”

“This guy scored 33 points in the first game of his game against us in the Eastern Conference semifinals!”

“I watched that game, and seriously, Cameron Anthony was delayed by the Nets!”

……

So Cameron Anthony can give his performance 90 points in this game, and the remaining 10 points are afraid that he is too proud and encourages himself to keep up and play the remaining three games of this series!

What the?

Why three, you say?

Well……

Unless both Howard and Chris Paul are back in their prime, and he can’t pull his crotch in that game, he really doesn’t have the confidence to think the Nets can win even one victory!

Cameron Anthony is not sad about the loss, and New York fans are not sad about the loss, but more looking forward to it.

There are still 3 days left before Li Wan’s husband returns to New York!

Ahead of the second game of the series, Cameron Anthony had another piece of good news.

Jason Kidd looked back at the first game of the entire series, watched it several times, and finally decided that the only win in the second game of the series was on Cameron Anthony, so…

“Dwight, I want you to block Cameron more, to make sure that every shot he makes can be done after blocking…”

Naturally, this was done so that Anthony had more room to shoot.

At the same time, it can also make his shot a little easier, without too much effort, in order to ensure a longer battery life.

Cameron Anthony was overjoyed to hear Jason Kidd’s arrangement.

If the young “melon” heard such an arrangement, he would definitely directly scold “put away that damn blocker.”

But just like older men like to soak goji berries and eat their waist, this older player also knows how to block and dismantle well. – How do you say it? Young people don’t know how to block and dismantle, and mistakenly take singles for treasure!

Now if someone blocks Cameron Anthony, especially a “high-quality human wall” like Howard, he will definitely raise his hands in approval and shout: “Don’t stop!” ”

Howard heard Jason Kidd’s arrangement and didn’t say much.

Howard, who entered the league at the age of 18 and unknowingly played 13 seasons, now knows very well that he has no life to become a “super center”, and it is not a big deal to block the “old iron” who has passed together.

The NBA is like this, small changes can sometimes have a big impact…

In the second game, the effectiveness of Dwight Howard’s blocking was fully demonstrated, Cameron Anthony’s mid-range shooting efficiency after blocking and shooting directly from one step was extremely high, and Anthony scored 14 points by mid-range shooting in the first half alone, and in the end of the entire first half, he scored a total of 23 points!

The shooting percentage is 50%!

Howard’s blocking quality is true, no words!

It’s just that……

According to Jason Kidd’s plan, he thought that this combination could change Columbus’ defense, so that the Explorers had to use more people to supplement and change defenses.

Once the opponent makes such an adjustment, there are more possibilities for the Nets’ offense…

Cameron Anthony played well with tactical intent, just…

This Nima’s Taryn Lu doesn’t know if it’s a slow reaction or what’s going on!

Cameron Anthony is smoking, this guy is stunned and there is no change of formation!

Isn’t 23 points at half time enough for this guy to move his little fingers, shout a timeout, and then dig in a small tactical board to dig out a targeted tactic?

You don’t deserve to be Columbus’ head coach…

You give me out!

I’ll be, well…

Jason Kidd was angry, just looking at the Columbus Explorer halftime stat sheet, looking at Li Wan’s stats above: 26 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block…

His memory began to revive.

Only then did he suddenly remember that it seemed that while Cameron Anthony kept shooting and completing goals, Li Wan also strengthened his personal attack and constantly responded to his goals…

Even cut a higher score than Cameron Anthony!

Seashell……

Is it also a change of formation?

Jason Kidd’s mentality collapsed.

Because the next thought that popped up in his mind:

Well…… How can it not count?

If he had Li Wan, he would also change formations like this!

After all, it’s so easy!

It’s just a “key” to get it!

Can Li Wan do whatever he wants?

He wanted to let Tyron-Lue out even more!

Such a player, give me me am not also a generation of grandmasters?

All right……

History is always a circle.

Parker Riley scoffed at Phil Jackson and said, “Michael Jordan give it to me, and I can do what he can do!” ”

Now Jason Kidd watched his replay of the “killing move” he came up with one night was perfectly contained by Taryn Lue’s calm sentence “Lee, you fight more”, and his mentality collapsed.

Facing reporters after the game, he said helplessly: “Sometimes this is the case, when you face an opponent like Li Wan, you can only sigh that you are unlucky and met him!” ”

However, as far as this game is concerned, it is indeed a wonderful battle against Biao.

The Columbus people at the scene called it a “big hoop”.

After the whole game, Columbus won 119 to 106, “only” won by 13 points…

6 points less than the previous game!

Cameron Anthony, who scored 23 points at halftime, ended up making 38 shots in the game, hitting 20 of them, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and 46 points!

Plus 8 rebounds and 3 assists…

If Cameron Anthony in the last game was already a “thigh-level” existence in the Nets, then in this game, after Jason Kidd arranged Howard’s blocking, Cameron Anthony changed and became the Nets’ “ultimate daddy”.

Such a performance, no matter what happens to any super giant, it is explosive level.

It’s just that facing Li Wan tonight, Cameron Anthony still looks a little “star-gloomy”.

22-of-40 shooting, 6-of-6 free throws, 5-of-9 three-pointers, 55 points per game, plus 15 rebounds and 4 assists, in addition to 4 steals and 2 blocks…

This is Li Wan’s final data tonight, and Li Wan, who is also “full firepower”, made Cameron Anthony’s 46 divided into “useless work”!

Of course, this useless work is from the perspective of the game, from the perspective of the Nets.

Cameron Anthony, however, was ecstatic.

He was 120% satisfied with his performance tonight!

Even he didn’t expect that with Howard’s blocking demolition, he could actually contribute such firepower!

Tonight was really fantastic!

Now he hopes that Jason Kidd will continue to use this tactic even if he goes back, so that he can maximize his firepower.

That’s nothing to worry about.

Even various experts believe that although this change did not allow the Nets to win, it did make the Nets have a little more fighting back against Columbus.

In the Nets’ current roster, there is really no one other than Cameron Anthony who can achieve such an effect when working with Howard.

In addition to the Columbus Explorers’ 2-0 series scoreline, the Warriors are currently leading the Spurs 2-0 in other matchups and will travel to San Antonio for the rest of the game.

Seeing Popovich, one of his biggest “bitter masters” in the past, and the Spurs now being rubbed on the ground with his new “brothers”, LeBron James’s heart has an indescribable sense of pleasure.

On the day of his arrival in San Antonio, Green also received good news.

The league officially presented this season’s “Best Defensive Player Award”, and he became another “Defensive Player of the Season Award” winner in NBA history with 33.3% of the votes, beating Anthony Davis with 30% of the votes and Leonard with 21.3% of the votes.

Green said, “This is an affirmation of me!” ”

This season must not be easy for him, because last summer’s reinforcement, the arrival of someone, he became the “culprit” of the team’s loss at the beginning of the season, and although he reached a temporary “unity” with LeBron after the Christmas War, he did lose a lot of ball dealing, which made him more committed to the defensive end.

He didn’t want to be the “next Chris Bosh”, but he became the next “Chris Bosh” anyway.

Fortunately, in terms of results, he had better luck than Chris Bosh, because he was indeed more talented than Bosh on the defensive end.

The “Defensive Player of the Season Award” is the ultimate affirmation of him, and with this affirmation, he will not be able to become the team’s “back-pot man”.

When he thought of this, his mood became even brighter…

Green was happy, but Anthony Davis, who had a 3.3 percent margin, was upset, and he took all that anger out in Game 3 against the Trail Blazers.

The two sides tied 2-0 in the first two games of the series.

The home turf of the New Orleans Hornets has become the league’s new “home of the devils,” losing only four games at home in the regular season this season.

The win rate is above 90%.

And in the playoffs, they continued this momentum, and they still did not lose on their home court in the first round of the series.

So even after losing the first two games of the series, the mentality on the Trail Blazers’ side did not suffer in any way, and when they returned to the rose garden in the third game of the series, they took the initiative from the beginning.

Anthony Davis, who originally wanted to make a big fuss on the court and vent that he failed to win this season’s “Defensive Player of the Season” award, faced the momentum of the opponent, but became a toy for Aldridge and Auden.

With more than eight minutes in the first quarter and two fouls in the game, Anthony Davis, could only sit on the bench and gnaw his fingers in frustration.

Without him such a “inside Optimus Prime”, the New Orleans Hornets who were originally passive on the inside, this time more passive, Delon Williams very well connected the entire team’s inside and outside, and finally they worked together to pull back a point on their home court, and the big score on both sides came to 1-2.

At the end of the Rose Garden competition, the scene in New York City can be described as “a sea of people and firecrackers”.

Don’t ask them why they’re so hi!

Asking is…

Their Giegie Lee Wan is back!

The feeling of being able to cheer my husband is awesome~

Especially at this moment, the group of New York fans in the home audience of the Brooklyn Nets, when Li Wan entered the stadium, one by one couldn’t help but shout:

“King of New York!”

“King of New York!”

“King of New York!”

……

Looking at this scene alone, it is like time has returned to 3 years ago!

When the Nets crowd walked out of the home team player tunnel, they were also cheered by the audience.

This came as a bit of a surprise to them.

After all, how these New York bitches treated them at home last year, they still remember it now. They were all ready to go to the “wrong” arena.

Just as if there is no home in this series!

Well……

Anthony thinks the Nets can’t win a game, and that’s another reason!

Forget about the poor strength, they don’t even have a home field, how to win!

But now…

This is……

What’s the situation?

Did this gang of New Yorkers transgender?

Well……

No way!

When pigs fly!

Not to mention, they really know New Yorkers.

As far as the “four consecutive championships” brought by Li Wan to this city are destined to be impossible for anyone to replace Li Wan’s position in this city, not to mention, Brooklyn is the township of New York, and it is a dream to expect New Yorkers to regard this place as a real home team.

The New Yorkers gave such cheers purely because the Nets worked hard enough to allow them to cheer for Lee Wan once again in the playoffs.

It’s like following the “husband” found by the owner and being willing to cooperate in the task.

This really…

Thank you.

However, the Nets did not doubt for too long, and when the game officially began, Li Wan started with a violent dunk and set off cheers from the whole court, and when the Nets attacked, let alone cheers, it was good not to make a large-scale booing interference… At this moment, for the Nets, the familiar feeling returned.

That’s the smell!

These bitches in New York really haven’t changed a bit…

There is one exception…

That’s Cameron Anthony!

In fact, after the last game, Cameron Anthony, who scored 46 points, has already caused a lot of discussion in New York.

The city has always been eager to kneel and lick those powerful players.

Especially at the moment Cameron Anthony is still a Nets player…

More importantly, this game Cameron Anthony continued the hot form of the previous game, and he shot and scored in Howard’s blocking, which is very present.

As a result, the cheers that rang out when Anthony hit the goal grew louder.

Another great star-studded game, with Cameron Anthony scoring another 40 points, plus 9 rebounds and 5 assists…

At the same time, Chris Paul is also a divine help, the account password of “Sao Paulo” is becoming more and more difficult to remember, but tonight he obviously remembered the password coldly, and the various projections in the first half were very crisp.

He scored 18 points in the first half alone.

This has equalled his highest single-game score in the first two games.

Cameron Anthony 1 is already at the level of “Big Daddy”, and now there is another “Sao Paulo”, and this game is also more anxious than the last.

Until the end of the first half, the biggest difference between the two sides was only 6 points at halftime.

Finally, Jason Kidd waited for Taryn Lue’s change of formation, and in the second half, the Explorers carried out a big delay for Chris Paul in addition to moving the entire defensive formation up.

This requires the Nets to step up and help with the response.

But……

Compared with the strategy, Cameron Anthony is a “sharp knife”, suitable for directly inserting into the opponent’s “artery”, you let him organize the response, that is equivalent to letting Lv Bu be the main book.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand, it’s just that compared to the main book, he is more suitable for wielding Fang Tian’s halberd in front of the formation.

With just such a small adjustment, the Nets’ entire tactic has changed back to Cameron Anthony’s “solo fight”, and what Tyronn Lue wants is for the other party to “fight bayonets” with him.

Because he has “God” Li Wan.

Star vs. Biao, no matter who it is, in Tyronn Lu’s opinion, it is not comparable to his Li Wan…

The facts also proved this, without Chris Paul’s response, Cameron Anthony alone and Li Wan gradually fell into the downwind, and the score that had been anxious in the first half was slowly pulled away by the explorers at this moment.

117-102, the final scoreline, the Explorers defeated the Nets again by 15 points.

The big score is 3-0, which means that the big picture is decided!

The Nets’ best stats besides Anthony were Chris Paul, who ended up with 24 points and 9 assists, looking at the top No. 1 stats.

But if you divide this data into the first and second halves, Chris Paul scored 18 points in the first half, and only scored 6 points in the second half!

The contrast is so stark…

One can’t help but want to count this Nets loss on his head.

Jason Kidd once again expressed his inability to do anything about Li Wan after the game.

After this match, he also completely understood the entire direction of Tyronn Lue’s change of formation, and all his choices were to let his opponent fight him alone. Use Li Wan to defeat all opponents.

This……

Can it also be counted as a move?

This has Li Wan, who wouldn’t!

Compared with Jason Kidd’s jealousy, many American media affirmed Tyronn Lue’s ability to change formations.

Because when facing the Bucks in the first round of the series, more of Lue’s tactical changes were made on the defensive end.

Especially the first game is the most typical, Tyronn Lue tested the “dealing” ability of the Bucks Jabari Parker and the “alphabet brother” through the “Iron Barrel Formation”, successfully expanding the problem of these two guys’ inexperience indefinitely.

And now when facing the Nets, Tyronn Lue’s entire tactical purpose has become to cut the entire offensive tactics of the Nets, so that the Nets are caught in the confrontation between Cameron Anthony and Li Wan.

While infinitely amplifying the tactical energy of “give the ball to Li Wan”, it can also leave Chris Paul without room to play.

It is true that there is a feeling of “hitting the snake and hitting seven inches”!

The first round of the series is so well targeted, and now the second game is aimed at so “to the stomach”, Tyronn Lue’s coaching ability, in the eyes of these experts, is really a bit underestimated!

Just two consecutive games have clearly consumed Cameron Anthony. In the fourth game of the series, he soon developed physical problems. This is also the number one problem that players must face after the age of 33, especially in the playoffs, where a game is comparable to a war, and the speed of physical exertion is even more exaggerated.

Cameron Anthony’s ability to control body fat percentage has not been good since he became a supergiant… You know, the only “big center” Jokic in history who averaged 30 plus 10 plus 10 “triple-doubles” per game was also successful in controlling the body fat rate before playing a terrifying and efficient performance, including the NBA “super giant”, as long as it is phenomenal, there is no situation that the body fat rate is not controlled at that time.

Because it’s often easy to be a breakthrough for opponents in the playoffs…

This game with the Columbus Explorers, also because of Cameron Anthony’s physical “drop chain”, soon there was no suspense, 120-100, and finally the Nets lost by a full 20 points!

It was the most lost game in the entire series.

4-0！

Another round of sweeps, the Columbus Explorers advance to the Eastern Conference Finals!

The first game of the Western Conference finals, 35 seconds and 8 free throws, is also quite explosive throughout NBA history.
