Chapter 136: The King will change cheerleaders next year
"No. 88! Yes, it's you, No. 88, speed, shooting, shooting..." Zhang Weifeng's voice and Seyus' voice sounded at the same time, and their meaning was very obvious. That is Batum, you have the opportunity, shoot quickly, there is no need to hesitate, shoot quickly if you have the opportunity!
In fact, this requirement can also reflect the Kings' team's newcomer Batum, a young guy. In the playoffs, the head coach and the team leader also asked a rookie to seize the opportunity and shoot immediately, which means that everyone in this team has a chance to take action!
"Beautiful! Batum's three-pointer is threaded! Beautiful! The Kings' lead has reached 16 points! The Kings' rotation and passing are both very good during this period!" Barkley covered his mouth and also put up a three-pointer gesture!
Seeing another three-pointer in the opponent, Anthony's face became more and more intense! Obviously, although it was a away game, Anthony still wanted to show himself very much! Everyone wanted to win the game or even the series, even Anthony was no exception. Two players from the 203 generation have already entered the NBA Finals, and he, the second-ranked figure of the 203 generation, are still struggling in the playoffs. Not to mention the finals, he has never even scored in the Western Conference Finals. Therefore, it is this that urgently urges Anthony to prove himself quickly! Therefore, everyone can understand Anthony's mood, and this is also reflected in his offense!
After analysis by authoritative American media, the reason why Anthony always missed the shot in the first half is that Anthony is too eager to score goals and too eager to win! This is exactly what restricted him in this game! In fact, it can also be said that Anthony unknowingly restricted himself in his heart, so many people also suggested that Anthony needs to relax as much as possible to play, which can make him play better in the second half!
"Actually, from the second half of the game, Anthony's offensive rhythm and feeling were significantly better, which is also a relatively good momentum for the Nuggets. Obviously, only if Anthony plays better can the Nuggets have a chance to turn the tables!" Barkley couldn't help but shout.
Miller said at this time: "It's true. The Nuggets need Anthony's offense so much now! As you said. In this game, the other people's offenses felt pretty good, but the leader's shooting was not good, which is also a bit anxious!"
"From the third quarter, Anthony obviously began to change his playing style, and he began to rush to the inside to score more. This may allow him to slowly find the feeling!"
"Well, although the efficiency is still not high, it is obviously a good change. After all, Anthony's offense continues to be good. Fortunately, Anthony's skills are good, and I believe he will slowly find his feelings!"
And the fact is indeed the case. Anthony tried his best to fight the inside in the entire third quarter, which obviously made Anthony slowly find his state. At the beginning, Anthony was still difficult to score. After all, Zhang Weifeng was in the defense! However, in a few minutes after Zhang Weifeng was out, Anthony began to score in the inside, which made Anthony's scoring gradually increase, and his offensive state was obviously much better than before.
When the third quarter was finished, Anthony's data was 13 points and 8 rebounds. In other words, Anthony scored 6 points in the entire third quarter, and all of these six points were scored to the inside. However, he still made as many as 7 shots in the entire third quarter, but these 3 of 7 hits were still great!
Anthony's unblocked basket has become the biggest source of the Nuggets' offense limitations. Although Smith can stand up and shoot when Anthony is in a downturn, a lone wolf style like Smith will definitely only make the Nuggets' team basketball lose its original taste. So when Anthony is unable to provide firepower on the offense, Coach George Carl knew in his heart that Smith could only allow him to score occasionally singles to further stimulate his teammates' offense**! And to be honest, what George Carl trusts most is Billups!
This season, Billups can contribute points per game with assists and steals, and his three shooting percentage can reach 40+40+90! This efficiency is also the reason why coach George Carl trusts Billups. At least, Billups can lead the team's offense on the court, but he can score by himself! In this game, Billups' data is not bad. After three quarters, he scored 12 points, 5 assists and 2 steals, which can reach the average level of the season. It is worth mentioning that Billups' goals were all three-pointers! 12 points, from Billups' four three-pointers, which can also illustrate one problem, that is, the Kings' inside penalty area is not so easy to enter and score!
When Zhang Weifeng was on the court, the Kings' inside line was like a wall of iron, and it was difficult for the opponent to enter and score! Although Zhang Weifeng's blocking in recent games has been reduced compared to before, if calculated, Zhang Weifeng's defensive efficiency is higher than his previous season, because when he was on the court, the opponent's score in the inside penalty area was definitely an unprecedented low. This is also related to the defensive deterrent power that Zhang Weifeng has developed for a long time!
After the third quarter, the Kings temporarily led the Nuggets by 14 points at 79:65, which also allowed the Kings to see the dawn of victory in the game. After all, the lead was 14 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, which gave the Kings a certain advantage! Psychologically, the Kings also have obvious advantages!
In this game, the Ako Stadium is very grand. Whenever the home team scores a goal, the fans will try their best to give their applause. They have no reservations because they understand in their hearts that this is the Western Conference semi-finals. They are now one of the best teams in the league. This requires them to play better games at home and show the aura of a strong team in the league!
