NBA: No. 1 Forward

Chapter 531: Lian Dao VS Anthony

But Anthony was not angry, but took a deep breath to calm himself down. \u003c/p\u003e

He knows that the best way to change the fans' impression is to defeat the opponent. The Clippers used to have no strength. If the Clippers want to win the fan market in Los Angeles, they need to prove themselves with victories. \u003c/p\u003e

Anthony took a deep breath. He knew that he could only use his calm emotions and best state to defeat Lian Dao. \u003c/p\u003e

Lian Dao is very popular this year. The title of "the strongest small forward in the league" is constantly mentioned in the media, but this does not mean that Lian Dao is invincible. \u003c/p\u003e

Anthony has confidence, and such confidence is not arrogance, but as the league's super scorer, he has such ability. \u003c/p\u003e

In addition to the 49 points scored against the Oklahoma City Thunder just now, in the few games before the All-Star break for the Clippers, Anthony scored 30+ in four consecutive games. \u003c/p\u003e

His stats after coming to the Clippers are actually much better than his stats in the Knicks in his previous life. \u003c/p\u003e

So far, Anthony has averaged 26.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, shooting 45.5% from the field, and a slightly worse three-point shooting percentage, but also 33.5%. \u003c/p\u003e

In terms of personal scoring ability, Anthony is still one of the strongest stars in the league. \u003c/p\u003e

Therefore, even with Shang Lian Dao, Anthony still has confidence. In the third position, he doesn't think that he will be worse than anyone else. \u003c/p\u003e

During the warm-up, Anthony also seemed particularly serious before the game. \u003c/p\u003e

After Lian Dao saw Anthony's state, he was also very glad that he hadn't been careless before. \u003c/p\u003e

With the end of the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides also played. \u003c/p\u003e

Lian Dao took a look at the lineup of the Clippers, and he was not only secretly dumbfounded, it was really luxurious. \u003c/p\u003e

Chris Paul, Randy Foye, Carmelo Anthony, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan. \u003c/p\u003e

To be honest, Sterling's determination to form this lineup was the most unexpected for Lian Dao.

\u003c/p\u003e

But Lian Dao doesn't think this lineup can last for a long time, especially when the luxury tax will be implemented next season, and they will also face the issue of renewal after Griffin's rookie contract expires. \u003c/p\u003e

If they want to keep Griffin, they will either have to pay a sky-high luxury tax, or the Big Three will have to give up one of them. \u003c/p\u003e

But according to Sterling's stingy habit...\u003c/p\u003e

Of course, if the Clippers can win the championship in the past two years, Sterling may still bite the bullet and leave the entire lineup. \u003c/p\u003e

It can be said that whether the formation of the Big Three will last for a long time actually depends on the Clippers' record in the past two seasons. \u003c/p\u003e

...\u003c/p\u003e

After the game started, Cousins ​​took the lead and moved the ball over Jordan's head to the backcourt to help the Knicks get the ball. \u003c/p\u003e

Jordan has not yet reached the peak of his career, but his progress over the past few seasons is obvious to all. \u003c/p\u003e

Although it is difficult to grow into a super center with Jordan's skills, according to his current growth trend, there is still no problem for Jordan to become the league's top blue-collar center. \u003c/p\u003e

The Knicks made the first attack, and Stoudemire took the lead. \u003c/p\u003e

He believes that he can still be as easy as last season against Griffin, who is in the second grade. \u003c/p\u003e

But Griffin, who has been baptized in his rookie season, has long been different. \u003c/p\u003e

Especially the current Griffin, who is not inferior to Stoudemire in terms of explosive power and strength, and is even better than Stoudemire in terms of speed. \u003c/p\u003e

Moreover, Griffin has speed and strength on the defensive end, and can defend one-on-one. Although limited by his wingspan and not enough to block shots, he can still do well in one-on-one interference. \u003c/p\u003e

So in this attack, Griffin first withstood Stoudemire's powerful impact, and then at the moment when Stoudemire's rhythm was chaotic, he quickly lowered his center of gravity and cut the ball with his hands! \u003c/p\u003e

At the beginning of the game, before Anthony had exerted his strength, Griffin took the lead in setting an example. \u003c/p\u003e

Griffin quickly controlled the basketball after the steal, dribbled the ball behind Stoudemire easily, and then immediately launched a fast break. \u003c/p\u003e

Lian Dao posted it immediately to prevent Griffin from rushing up. \u003c/p\u003e

But Griffin didn't stick the ball at all, and sent the ball directly to the frontcourt. \u003c/p\u003e

At this time, Anthony received the ball and continued to attack. The Knicks quickly shrank to the inside, cautiously Anthony hit the basket. \u003c/p\u003e

However, no one expected that Anthony didn't choose to hit the basket at all, and suddenly stopped outside the three-point line, and then drew his bow and arrow, and shot a three-pointer! \u003c/p\u003e

This three-pointer caught the Knicks by surprise, to be precise, Lian Dao was caught by surprise. \u003c/p\u003e

He didn't expect Anthony to be so decisive as soon as he came up. It actually takes courage to choose to stop for a three-pointer in a fast-break sports game instead of a more secure offense at the basket. \u003c/p\u003e

Lian Dao and Danny Green's supplementary defense was finally a step slower, and Anthony's emergency stop three-pointer went into the net hollowly. \u003c/p\u003e

One defense and one offense, Griffin and Anthony cooperated tacitly. \u003c/p\u003e

Lian Dao: Didn't it mean that Griffin and Anthony are not compatible on the court? \u003c/p\u003e

The moment Anthony hit a three-pointer, the fans in the Staples Center cheered instantly. \u003c/p\u003e

The team's cooperation is very good today. They seem to see the hope of defeating the defending champion. If they can defeat the defending champion, it will prove that they really have the strength to compete for the championship. \u003c/p\u003e

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple are fine. 】\u003c/p\u003e

After Anthony scored a goal, he did not spout trash talk at Lian Dao, but made a classic "three-point headshot" celebration. \u003c/p\u003e

Lian Dao licked his lips, and glanced at Anthony who returned to defense and high-fived Chris Paul and Griffin. \u003c/p\u003e

It seems that today, we must work hard at the Staples Center! \u003c/p\u003e

There is no shortage of great performances at Staples Center, but most of these great performances come from the Lakers, such as Kobe's 81-point night! \u003c/p\u003e

Anthony may also want to leave his mark on Staples, but he chose the wrong opponent. Lian Dao will never let himself be the background board of other people's great moments. \u003c/p\u003e

No matter who the opponent is, the Big Three of the Heat can't do it, and neither can the Clippers' "Galaxy Battleship"! \u003c/p\u003e

The Knicks attacked for the second time. Holiday was just about to play tactics and gave the ball to Cousins, but when he was about to call a pick-and-roll, he stopped. \u003c/p\u003e

Because he saw Lian Dao raising his hand for the ball at this time. \u003c/p\u003e

This season Lian Dao seldom asks for the ball, but every time he asks for the ball, it is either when the team's offense is unfavorable, or someone stimulates his desire to attack, so he has to be serious. \u003c/p\u003e

Seeing Lian Dao holding the ball, the fans immediately became excited. \u003c/p\u003e

They thought that the star players of the two teams would really exert their strength in the second half, but they didn't expect the two to face each other directly at the beginning of the game! \u003c/p\u003e

The moment Lian Dao received the basketball, the Staples Center was filled with cheers. \u003c/p\u003e

Lian Dao's championship last season, coupled with this year's All-Star Game, Lian Dao has really boosted his popularity. \u003c/p\u003e

In the past, he never thought about the effect of playing away games at home. \u003c/p\u003e

Of course, except for the Nets' home court! \u003c/p\u003e

But this season after winning the championship, in addition to some mortal enemies of the Knicks, Lian Dao often found fans wearing Knicks No. 1 jerseys in the home courts of some big teams. \u003c/p\u003e

This is influence, just like Jordan back then, even in away games, the cheers were not inferior to the fans of the home team. \u003c/p\u003e

Of course, Lian Dao is not yet comparable to Jordan. \u003c/p\u003e

But I can't stand the fact that there are so many Chinese in the United States. Chinese can be found in almost large cities in the United States, and as long as they are Chinese, most of them are fans of Lian Dao. \u003c/p\u003e

Anthony, who was defending Lian Dao, was in a state of tension all over his body. He opened his arms and constantly adjusted his position with small steps. \u003c/p\u003e

In the face of Lian Dao's attack, Anthony had to stand firm. In fact, his own defensive strength is not bad. \u003c/p\u003e

When Anthony and Kobe faced each other back then, the defensive ability they showed was amazing. \u003c/p\u003e

However, Anthony's defensive attitude has a big problem. In many cases, he is not bad at defending, but unwilling to defend. \u003c/p\u003e

Even, in the last round, he was willing to press close to the body, but in the next round, he directly chose to defend with his eyes. \u003c/p\u003e

But obviously, Anthony wanted to beat Lian Dao very much today, so he forced himself to play the defense he was least willing to do. \u003c/p\u003e

Lian Dao took his time and took a few tentative steps in front of Anthony. \u003c/p\u003e

But Anthony was unmoved, he always kept an optimal defensive distance, his eyes fixed on the basketball in Lian Dao's hands. \u003c/p\u003e

Seeing that Anthony's center of gravity remained unchanged, Lian Dao simply stopped probing. \u003c/p\u003e

The right foot kicks the ground, the left foot steps out quickly, the fastest first step, a breakthrough! \u003c/p\u003e

Anthony responded in a timely manner and blocked Lian Dao's breakthrough route to the left. \u003c/p\u003e

Lian Dao dribbled the ball under his crotch without slowing down and turning to the right to break through. \u003c/p\u003e
