Chapter 424 [Leader Davis, Poisonous Melon Anthony]

Chapter 424 [Leader Davis, Poisonous Melon Anthony]

Seeing the starting lineup, Yang Rui first sprayed Nuggets coach Jeff Buzdrick. "The Nuggets coach is too conservative. Obviously the players have super attacking power, and the Cavaliers have obvious weaknesses in defense. He doesn't know how to target them. This is just wanting me to treat me."

Barkley asked, "What would you do if it were you?"

"Small-ball tactics, Anthony plays the power forward, Camby is the center, and Lahirio is on the bench. This positional battle can completely open the formation, and Ryan Bowen is assigned to the small forward position, responsible for defense, and he only stands in the bottom corner and waits for opportunities in attack. That's fine. I coached Bowen, and he's a good way to guard James and take some of the pressure off Anthony's defense."

In the future, Anthony's Achilles heel is defense. Even if he is not a defensive loophole, he is at most a mediocre level. No one has ever said that his defense is excellent.

On the other hand, Anthony's offensive and defensive efficiency at the 4 position is higher, and he can't play small forward.He was often unable to actively defend the opposing [-] and became a hole in the team.

Smith asked with a smile: "Do you want Anthony to play a power forward? Is this possible?"

Yang Rui explained: "Although he is only 203cm tall, he weighs 105kg and has good strength. If the opponent has a strong power forward, this arrangement will not work, but Stewart is like a big swinger, and his weight is not as good as Anthony. "

Stewart is 208cm tall and weighs 104kg. He entered the league undrafted in 97 and has always been a marginal person.He played in 47 games for the Cavaliers last season, averaging just 0.8 points and 1.3 rebounds.

On the Cavaliers bench sat Darius Myers, the third overall pick in 2000, and Stewart was just a pseudo-starter in order to allow Myers to have more ball rights and score off the bench.

Camby won the jump ball and the Nuggets took the lead.

Hamilton started to run like he did in the Wizards, and Hilario gave him off-ball screens on the side.Camby went to the middle and played pick-and-roll with point guard Miller.

In the first round, there was a loophole in the Cavaliers' defense. Miller easily got rid of Bremer, who was undrafted into the NBA, and accelerated to pass "Big Z" Ilgauskas, driving straight for a layup. 2 to 0.

After "Big Z" was seriously injured twice, his athletic ability is not as good as before. With his height and wingspan, he can defend the penalty area well, and he is not good at switching guards to break through.That's why Cavaliers coach Paul Silas started Stewart, who moves well and is better at defending pick-and-rolls than Big Z.

The Cavaliers attacked, James received the ball in the middle, his teammates opened, and the inside side screened, and Davis and Bremer moved.

Davis can also play a point forward and overlaps with James. His data has dropped, and he is very dissatisfied with this.

Facing the Nuggets' zone defense, one look at the lineup shows that the Cavaliers can't do anything about it.The inside players are not dominant in the low post, and the perimeter lacks three-point shooters.After a few passes, there was no open shot opportunity. Davis attacked with the ball and made a pull-up jumper on the right. Under the interference of Hamilton, Camby grabbed the rebound.

In the Nuggets positional battle, Miller first played a pick-and-roll in the middle, attracted the inside line to switch defenses, and then passed the ball to the middle.Camby faced Bremer, who was 188cm tall, and shot with a weird back-of-the-head shot.

In the face of this "human-shaped trebuchet", Bremer did not take off and block.This is the eighth year that Camby has entered the league, and he has not completely abandoned his youth. He has a certain accuracy in his mid-range shots and hits! 4 to 0.

The Cavaliers attacked, James singled out Anthony in the middle, changed direction with the ball and went to the basket, Lahirio made up the defense in place, James forcibly took off, the lever in the air forcibly missed the shot, and he flew out of the bottom line because of inertia.

Lahirio got the rebound, the Nuggets counterattacked, Miller passed to Hamilton who was going down fast, and the latter received the ball on the left and smashed the ball inside the three-point line. 6 to 0.

James didn't come back, Davis went to cover Anthony, and missed.This defense aroused the dissatisfaction of Cavaliers "leader" Davis, who roared at "little brother" James.

On the offensive end, Davis first ran the screen to catch the ball and didn't shoot, then deliberately took the ball to the middle, and waved James to the side, grabbing the position of the point forward.

What is this move?The implied line is "Causeway Bay can only have one point forward, and that's me Davis." (What the hell is Causeway Bay?!)

Yang Rui smiled and said: "I think Davis will be traded by the Cavaliers soon. The contract James signed with Nike is higher than Davis' lifetime salary. He actually thinks he is the boss of the Cavaliers. Is there something wrong with his brain? "

At this time, Davis broke the ball, James made a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and under the interference of Anthony, Camby grabbed the rebound.

In the Nuggets positional battle, Miller gave it to Anthony on the right after halftime.Anthony stepped forward in a three-threat pose, broke through to the bottom line, and leaned on James' back to play cricket. 8 to 0.

Anthony's offense is very good. He has a way to score in the face of anyone's defense. He is not like a rookie in all aspects.

Yang Rui said to Barkley: "4 for 4 to start, Chuck, it looks like you have to treat yourself to dinner."

Barkley shook his head: "It seems that the Cavaliers are really bad. This season is mainly about training James. If they want to make the playoffs, they must make a big transaction in the summer."

Smith said: "Davis and James overlap, and looking at his attitude towards James just now, it will affect the training of rookies. Jerry is right, the Cavaliers must trade him."

At this time, Davis singled out Hamilton again with the ball and made a pull-up jumper. 8 to 2.

Although the ball was scored, Davis relied on his personal ability and did not cooperate.He wasn't a good team player last season, don't look at taking 20+5+5, it's essentially a data brush.

Yang Rui said: "I think James will get good data this season, because the team lacks scoring points, he can shoot as much as he wants, the team needs him to stand up and score, but his hit rate will not be too high, because all The team knows that just by limiting James, they can overwhelm the Cavaliers, and they'll send the best defender on the team against him."

Barkley asked: "Do you think James has a chance to win the Rookie of the Year?"

Yang Rui smiled and said: "I am optimistic that he will win the best rookie, because the selection criteria for the best rookie mainly depends on the player's ability, and the record is only for auxiliary reference. James has a good combination of sudden points and shots, and it is the standard template for core players. Anthony It is more inclined to score, and the organization ability is slightly inferior. Comparing the overall strength of the two, I think James is slightly better. The Nuggets have played well this year, and they are stronger as a whole rather than individually.

No one dares to make predictions more than Yang Rui. He knows that the league will not support Anthony at all. This is a good opportunity for him to speak for the league and show that he is on the first team with Stern.

Anthony also was as famous as James in the first year, and he made little progress later. He has always been scoring, and his only personal honor is the scoring champion.

That season, two weeks before the end of the regular season, Durant still led the scoring charts with 28.3 points per game, and Anthony averaged 28.1 points.And he scored 30+ in 20 consecutive games in the middle and late of the season, and in the last 6 games, he averaged 35+ per game, and then he won the scoring title.

After joining the Knicks, Anthony's nickname has changed from "melon" to "poisonous melon."

The most important thing is that in the early stage of Anthony's career, there were frequent negative news, marijuana incidents, drug and gun cases, etc. After that, Anthony fought in bars for his wife, and was also involved in the underworld DVD.

Does the narrator need to say good things about such a brain-dead person?
