Chapter 615 Time is not forgiving

Remember the classic Western Conference Finals in 2009?

Anthony, as the prospect of the 03 generation, in his rookie season, Anthony's performance did not lose to James at all.

In his first season in the league, Anthony led the Nuggets back to the playoffs.

In his rookie season, Anthony averaged 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

In the Giants era when centers dominated the league in 2003, the average score of 21 points was almost equivalent to about 30 points in the current league.

Anthony's performance in his rookie season was the closest or even surpassed that of James.

Now Anthony, all the honors and statistics are far behind James' achievements.

Anthony currently has only one scoring champion, several All-NBA teams, and several All-Stars, but in the early stages of his career, Anthony did not lose to James.

The brightest moment of Anthony's career was playing against the Lakers in the 09 Western Conference Finals.

In this season, the Nuggets ushered in the addition of Billups.

The arrival of Billups gave the Nuggets a substantial improvement. The Nuggets made it all the way to the Western Conference Finals. That year, the Nuggets met Kobe Bryant in the Western Conference Finals.

That was a year in the Western Conference finals that can be recorded in history.

Anthony this year worked very hard on the defensive end.

This year's Western Conference Finals is also the NBA's most defensively intensive and most suffocating Western Conference Finals series in the past 30 years.

As a result, Kobe averaged 6 points, 34 rebounds and 5.8 assists in 5.8 games for the Lakers' Nuggets.

What's even more frightening is that under such a high-intensity defense, Kobe can still hit 48% of his shots.

That year was the peak of Kobe's body and technology, and Kobe's fadeaway jumper had reached the point of no solution.

The goals Kobe scored in the Western Conference Finals were all unreasonable goals.There were no reasonable goals at all. That year, the Lakers relied entirely on Kobe's strength to beat the Nuggets in one-on-one singles.

That year was also the pinnacle of Anthony's career.

Volunteering to switch from the 3rd position to face Kobe at the 2nd position, Anthony did everything he could do at the age of 25.

At one point in the entire series, Anthony did not lose the slightest bit against Kobe.

In the first game, he scored 39 points and made an invincible mid-range shot, which almost killed the Lakers.

Throughout the series, Anthony averaged 27.2 points and 5.8 rebounds per game. The offensive kaleidoscope and the iron-blooded defense on the defensive end are the reasons why the 09 Western Conference Finals were talked about by fans.

Great opponents make great champions.

Kobe's first personal FMVP trophy is extremely precious precisely because of the opponent of the Nuggets.

Kobe, who has now become the head coach of the Lakers, can't help but feel a little bit embarrassed when he sees Anthony who is still struggling on the court and only wants to win a championship.

Kobe and Anthony had a very good relationship in private.

Kobe believes that Anthony's career can only have a good record if he is with a traditional point guard.

From the Nuggets' Billups to the Knicks' Kidd, they are all excellent playmakers.

Anthony is more suitable as a pure scorer. Now that Anthony is getting older and the defense is getting slower and slower, it is difficult for him to be the main player in the playoffs.

A generation of Tianjiao may end up without a crown for life.

In fact, this is very unfair to Anthony. He is more qualified to win the championship than many players who have won the championship.

But the reality is so cruel.

In the competitive world, there is never should or should not, only doing or not doing.

Anthony didn't do it, and as an opponent, Kobe would not give him a little water.

The next round after Anthony scored a goal, Ge Feng sanctioned Anthony.

Melo is old, and his smooth offensive kaleidoscope is half a second slower than when it was at its peak.

In extreme sports, half a second slower, or one centimeter less jump, is the difference between Jordan and Kwame Brown.

"Snapped--"

At the moment when Anthony turned around, Ge Feng grasped the position where Anthony joined the ball, and he was sure to break it with one blow.

Anthony lost control of the ball and fell to the ground in a hasty save.

Ge Feng controlled the ball and went down for a fast break.

Kobe saw Anthony sitting on the ground and suddenly remembered some of his past.

That's right, who doesn't have a day like this?

If it were ten years ago, Anthony would not only be able to turn around and pass Ge Feng, but he would also be able to take three steps and glide in the air for a few seconds to complete the dunk.

years……

Not forgiving.

Anthony, who was mainly defending Ge Feng, fell to the ground and was unable to return to defense.

Ariza took the initiative to switch defenses and blocked Ge Feng.

At his peak, Ariza was the best 3D player in the league.

Ariza is much better than today's JR Smith, Danny Green and others in terms of awareness, technology, defense, and offense.

Ariza is one of the few players in the league that Durant is most afraid of facing.

But now, when Ge Feng charged up, he still had enough strength to move sideways, and slipped past Ariza, whose pace had slowed down.

When Kobe coached this game, he also had mixed feelings in his heart.

Ariza, Kobe's most trusted teammate in 2009.

In the 6 games against the Nuggets, Ariza was the Lakers' surprise soldier.

To say that the only difference between Ariza and Anthony is that Ariza followed Kobe in 2009 and won an NBA championship.

But Anthony, who faced Kobe and did not lose the wind at all, has never had a championship.

Ge Feng passed Ariza and easily made an empty basket.

Stotts cursed from the sidelines, which lifted Ariza and Anthony's spirits.

Huluopingyang was bullied by dogs, Anthony and Ariza were not high in the low positions of the Blazers, and they may be traded by the team at any time.

Ariza is ready to retire, he has his dignity, but also has a championship ring.

He thinks more openly than Anthony, and is preparing to leave this jungle of the jungle ahead of schedule.

Lillard didn't see many opportunities for Anthony and Ariza. For the rest of the game, Lillard began to cooperate with CJ McCollum and Nurkic, and rarely delegated power to Anthony and Ariza.

Kobe's tactic is still to double-team Lillard, cut off Nurkic's passing route, and let Nurkic score.

Stotts couldn't find a way to solve this move, but let Lillard try a three-pointer from beyond the three-point line.

A goal like a three-pointer against the sky, it boosts morale.

But in most cases, this kind of ball will not be scored, but it will hurt morale.

Lillard failed to make two consecutive three-pointers, and the possibility of a comeback for the Blazers is almost gone.

Nurkic's pass was cut off by Ge Feng at this moment.

Ge Feng once again made a one-stop counterattack. The Blazers didn't even have the enthusiasm to retreat this time.
