NBA: This Center Is So Stable

The first time he played the game, the second time he played the game.

Chapter 70: No rookie immaturity at all

Carmelo Anthony!

This rookie from the slums of Brooklyn was dumbfounded.

Wang Song’s dunk overturned the impression of this Asian boy in his college years!

Such a violent style of play, this is completely different from the Asian rookie he met in the Crazy Three.

You know, his Nuggets teammate Marcus Camby!

He is a defensive master that even he finds difficult to deal with, but Wang Song defeated him easily.

Sidelines.

Nuggets players’ bench.

The calmness on Buzdelik’s face disappeared a little.

And the Knicks coaching staff on the other side.

Don Cheney’s eyes lit up and he clenched his fists excitedly.

Wang Song’s opening performance was obviously beyond his expectations.

···

New Fox Sports.

Domestic discussions have already surged like a tide.

——【Incredible dunk! Is it so explosive at the beginning? ! 】

——【Strange! The top rim protector of the Knicks has left us, and the Knicks’ scoring core is coming – the dunk king. 】

——【That’s Marcus Camby! The former league block king, now he is being dunked by a rookie, time flies! 】

——【This is not an ordinary rookie. It can be seen that Marcus Camby’s competitive state is still good. At least he is still a first-class defender. It’s just that he faced the strongest inside player in this rookie class. 】

——【In fact, Bosh of the Raptors also played well, but if Wang Song plays so resolutely under the basket from now on, the gap will probably be widened. 】

······

The game continues.

The entire Nuggets team adjusted their mental state and organized their first attack.

Nuggets guard Andre Miller!

In his peak period, he averaged 16+10 double-doubles in the Cavaliers. Except for the unstable three-pointers, he was perfect in the classic moves of the small guard.

Now with the appearance of Carmelo Anthony, he has changed his position when he came to the Nuggets.

The Nuggets management and coaching staff are very clear about the team’s current style of play, which is to give the ball to Anthony.

Frontcourt!

Miller is waving his left hand to organize his teammates’ running positions.

Open up space, pass the ball to Anthony in the left corner area!

Facing the defense of Knicks forward Tim Thomas, Anthony made a slight three-threat attempt, then shook his shoulders and stepped up and down to make a layup.

2:2!

Anthony smiled with satisfaction when he saw Tim Thomas’s frustrated expression when he returned to defense.

Then, he looked at Wang Song.

This ball was a response to Wang Song’s dunk just now!

But he didn’t expect that Asian rookie didn’t even look at him.

After the Knicks kicked out from the baseline.

He just rushed to the front court blindly, just like the divisional finals in the crazy three-game series, rushing to counterattack.

Anthony smiled disdainfully.

The current Nuggets are a strict NBA team, and they are definitely not comparable to college teams like Syracuse.

But before he finished thinking about it, his steps subconsciously sped up a few points.

Wang Song passed the ball to the white man who looked fragile, and the guy’s feet seemed to be equipped with motors.

Tap tap tap!

In the blink of an eye, he had already appeared in the front court.

This strange speed made Anthony’s eyes widen.

Anthony, who was still retreating to see Wang Song’s expression, quickly adjusted his position and turned back to retreat at full speed.

“Retreat! Retreat!”

Buzdelik on the sidelines shouted at the top of his lungs, but it was too late.

Wang Song cut to the basket to create pressure on the Nuggets’ restricted area, while Nash rushed to the basket from the left wing.

Camby was very nervous and quickly called on his teammates to help defend.

Just as the Nuggets began to shrink their defense, Alan Houston at the top of the arc followed up.

Nash’s little hand trembled, and the ghostly ball appeared in front of the camera again, already in Houston’s hands.

In a familiar position, the Knicks’ top shooter adjusted his shot.

Swish!

The basketball passed through the net!

5:2!

“Nice counterattack!”

“If old Nelson sees the Knicks’ game videos now, he will definitely regret giving Nash so many tactics!”

“The Knicks now are more like the Mavericks than the Dallas Mavericks! Their counterattacks are definitely the top offense in the league.”

Kenny Smith exclaimed in the commentary booth.

Barkley beside him also nodded.

In the stands!

Fans on the plateau of Denver exclaimed.

“How could that white man run so fast? And that big guy, what’s wrong with this speed! Are all these guys from New York born with plateau physiques?”

“Even Carmelo Anthony took a month to adapt to Denver, but these guys only took a day or two to adapt!”

“Wait, the Knicks will definitely pay the price for their fast pace.”

···

The game continues.

Turning back, the Nuggets continued to hand it over to Anthony.

Facing the defender, Anthony tried another shot to slightly lift the defender’s center of gravity and then suddenly burst out to start.

With this tonnage, coupled with his starting speed and control of his position, Anthony’s offense is simply unstoppable.

Anthony, who killed to the paint area, chose a small floater.

The scoreboard jumped again!

5:4!

A thunderous roar broke out in the Pepsi Center.

Nuggets fans have been suppressed for too long, and in their eyes, the Knicks’ offense is simply unstoppable.

Fortunately, Denver’s future is exciting enough!

The first quarter was back and forth, and the score was fixed at 16:17, with the Knicks trailing by one point.

Don Cheney called a timeout.

“Tim, you have to cheer up!”

The Knicks players just left the court, and the coach roared.

There was still half a quarter left in the first quarter, and Carmelo Anthony had already scored 7 points under the Knicks’ defense.

To be precise, it was Tim Thomas’s positional defense.

This was a blow to the Knicks’ rising offensive morale!

“Boss, that rookie is the same as Wang Song… He doesn’t look like a rookie at all, and his offense is too sophisticated.”

Tim Thomas smiled bitterly, and his high-frequency breathing was slowly getting heavier.

He was also bitter in his heart, and he was a guest player at the third position as he was always in the interior.

It was hard for him to keep up with a flexible and delicate heavy forward like Anthony.

In addition to the away game and geographical environment of Denver, he was a little bit high-rebounded, so his performance in the first quarter could be said to be gritted teeth.

But Don Cheney didn’t care so much. What the Knicks needed now was a player who could defend Anthony.

Looking around the bench, Don Cheney frowned.

Now the Knicks seem to have no better forward than Tim Thomas.

But substitutions are imperative!

“Antonio, warm up and get ready to play!”

Antonio McDyess, who was pointed out by Don Cheney, was dressed and came on the court after the timeout.

Herb Sendek, who was standing by, saw this and shook his head secretly.
