Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Rampaged Anthony

One spot in the finals has already been taken by the Longhorns, and two days later, another spot will be decided between the Kansas Jayhawks and the Syracuse University Orangemen.

Li Luo was full of curiosity about this matchup. The Kansas City people had regretfully lost the two encounters with the Longhorns. Moreover, they were both from the top 12 teams and were quite familiar with each other's technical characteristics.

It can be said that with the foundation of the first two victories, the Longhorns will have an inherent psychological advantage if they face Kansas in the finals.

And if we face Syracuse University on the other side, the controllability of the game results will be even worse.

There is no other reason, they have Carmelo Anthony at Syracuse University!

There is a well-known principle in sports. The smaller the number of participants, the greater the dependence on the stars. For individual sports, the athletes are all their own strength.

However, the overall strength of team sports will have a much less impact on the quality of an individual. Therefore, if you want to do a good job in football, you must improve the overall quality of the eleven players. If you single out Melo, the effect will be very small.

And five-a-side basketball? It is a super

A sport where stars can play a huge role. As a fresh-faced Anthony in his prime, once he turns on the scoring switch, he may be able to take over the entire game by himself.

At that time, it can be said that no one in the Longhorns, including Li Luo, can stop such a melon with a warm and innocent smile.

In his freshman season, Anthony has already polished his offensive skills very skillfully. In the NBA, Anthony can even seamlessly finish the confrontation at the NBA level. It is not an exaggeration to use the phrase "offensive kaleidoscope" to describe Anthony at this time.

This level of offensive skills is a bit of a dimensionality reduction when used on the NCAA stage. According to the Syracuse University videos of the previous games, Anthony's scoring ability and offensive desire are terrifying.

Judging from the video, the rest of the Syracuse University players are quite average and have very few scoring points. They can win the game with just one tactic against the inside point guard.

That is to dribble to the frontcourt, others will pull away, Anthony takes position, receives the ball, and then stuffs the damn ball into the net through various methods.

For the other Syracuse University players, this way of playing is simply like winning without hesitation.

But I have to say, it feels so good to win without hesitation. After a game, Anthony often becomes a father and a mother at the same time, as tired as fish fished out of the river.

This is the role of a superstar in the team. According to the unchanged history, this year Anthony really led the way, leading the entire team to the championship with his strong dominance.

And their opponent in the final was the Kansas people they met in the semifinals the day after tomorrow.

The Texans who qualified for the finals won a few days of precious rest time. After daily exercises, coach Barnes organized the entire team to watch the other group's semifinals on cable TV.

At the beginning of the game, Syracuse University's offense was dominated by Anthony, and Anthony did not live up to the trust of his teammates. Even if the Kansas Jayhawks adopted a double-teaming tactic at the beginning, it could not prevent Anthony from scoring repeatedly.

.

In terms of defense, Syracuse University is not doing very well. Limited by the quality of its own personnel, the entire Syracuse University defensive system is like a four o'clock street in the morning to Kansas' offense. Hinrich

He and Collison scored 34 points together in just the first half.

Among them, Anthony's defensive performance is also quite average. It is not that Anthony himself lacks defensive skills. His excellent physical fitness can be better defensive than most players in the league if he is a little serious. (You can refer to the years when the Nuggets played the Lakers.

Series, matchup between Anthony and Kobe)

Generally speaking, the reason why Anthony's defense has not been very good throughout his career is that Anthony's overall physical distribution is more offensive, and he is a bit lacking in defense.

In fact, it is understandable that both the university and the Nuggets have the responsibility of being the team's star. Syracuse University has to attack on its own to maintain the team's life, but the Nuggets...how can you expect a group of track and field players to jump around?

The man is very good at defense. His defense foundation was very weak from the beginning.

Anthony's defensive attitude changed until he finally came to his senses after he suffered all the hardships of the world and moved to the Trail Blazers.

At that time, Anthony's positioning had long been separated from the aura of a star. After many years of championship-less career, he would rather do some dirty work to get a ring.

At this time, in the twilight of his career, he discovered that he was actually pretty good defensively, and his efficiency was not bad in the ten minutes he briefly played in each game.

But at this time, his body could no longer support Anthony's excellent defensive performance.

These are all fates! The gifts given by fate have their prices secretly marked on them.

Looking at the slightly green Anthony in front of him, Li Luo also hoped that his butterfly could stir up a storm that changed Anthony's destiny.

By the ten minutes of the second half, Anthony's score had reached 36 points...a better stat than the original time and space match.

However, the situation on the court for the Syracuse Orange is not easy. Today, the teammates are not feeling smooth. So far in the game, only teammate Hakeem Warrick has scored 11 points with a shooting rate of 5 of 11.

.

The poor performance of his teammates put the Orangemen at a disadvantage for a time, but Anthony's performance was as stable as ever.

After falling behind several times, Anthony's continuous singles success brought the score back.

With 3 minutes left in the game, the score reached 67:65 and the Kansas Jayhawks led by two points.

At this time, the Syracuse University Orange team had already called the last timeout. Although calling the timeout at this point in time was very detrimental to the next decisive moment, the Orange team could no longer care so much.

They have to give Anthony some rest!

Anthony has played for 35 minutes in this game. Except for a short break in the middle of the second quarter, this Melo has been fighting hard on the court.

Anthony put a towel on his forehead and breathed heavily to restore his strength. The TV station also specially gave a close-up of this lonely hero.

Seeing this scene, the Longhorns players in front of the TV couldn't help but start a discussion.

TJ Ford is very unfavorable to the Orange. As a defender, he has a deep understanding of the role of physical strength in shooting. In his mind, Anthony, as a scorer who mainly focuses on shooting, will inevitably lead to a significant decrease in shooting percentage due to decreased physical strength.

This analysis naturally won the approval of many Longhorns players. The Longhorns naturally welcome Kansas as their opponent.

Coach Barnes smiled when he saw this situation. These veteran coaches who have been on the battlefield will naturally not make predictions about a game that is still suspenseful.

He looked around at the players present, and when he looked at Li Luo, he didn't see him smiling like the other players.

So he said: "Li? You don't like the people from Kansas?"

"Not optimistic?" Li Luo looked at Coach Barnes, stood up and said:

"Gentlemen, it looks like we have to face the New Yorkers."
