Chapter 176 Farmar: This is not about the background board! ! !
Seeing Gua Ge and Billups, Wang Chao couldn't help thinking of himself and McGrady.
"Hey, man, I've seen you play, you pass the ball with a lot of range, and your moves are crisp, I like it."
Wang Chao turned his head to look.
?
That voice just now turned out to be from Chauncey Billups!
"Thanks, buddy."
This boss actually took the initiative to talk to Wang Chao, which caught Wang Chao by surprise.
You know, last time, this boss ignored him
Sure enough, strength can be respected by others.
Tonight, the biggest highlight of the Nets is that Tracy McGrady and Wang Chao appear in the starting roster at the same time. One is a small forward and the other is a shooting guard. The Nuggets are undoubtedly their alternative version of the two-gun combination.
Nets starting lineup:
Point Guard: Farmar
Shooting guard: Wang Chao
Small Forward: Tracy McGrady
Power Forward: Damai
Center: Big Ben
Nuggets starting lineup:
Point Guard: Chauncey Billups
Shooting guard: Arron Afflalo
Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony
Power Forward: Kenyon Martin
Center: Nene
At the start of the game, Nene jumped to the basketball first.
The basketball just fell into the hands of "Melo" Anthony. Instead of handing the ball to the team's point guard Chauncey Billups, Anthony chose to play alone.
This so-called offensive kaleidoscope player is well-known in the league for his diverse offensive methods. As soon as he came up, he dribbled two consecutive cross-legs and hit a mid-range shot in front of Farmar.
Subsequently, in the offensive round of the Nets, McGrady directly made a three-pointer and returned the color.
In this way, the two teams kicked off the prelude to who defends who is the grandson.
"It's hit again, the game has only passed for more than 3 minutes, and the score of the two teams has reached 11:11."
Barkley was broadcasting live scores in front of the camera.
"Both sides played very openly. This is the kind of high-scoring game that fans want to see. After all, people don't buy tickets to watch the boring defensive battle."
"Kenny, I don't agree with your point of view. Fierce defense makes for a wonderful game. If both sides are undefended, then what's the point of paying for tickets? It's better to go to a training game!"
Listening to Reggie Miller's rebuttal, Barkley covered his mouth and snickered after hearing it, and finally someone came to scold Kenny Smith for him.
While the two were still arguing, Chauncey Billups added two more points for the Nuggets.
Chauncey Billups flashed a gap after two shakes and made a jumper before Farmar blocked it.
Although his explosive power and speed were not as good as before, Farmar was still afraid of him and flinched after several defenses.
If you start to fear your opponent on the basketball court, half the battle is already lost.
The Nuggets fired both guns together, and the two scored the team's first 13 points.
The Nets mainly relied on Tracy McGrady and Ben's singles. The Nuggets did not go around or double-team Ben at the beginning of the game, which benefited Ben a lot. Two jumpers scored 4 points steadily.
And McGrady also made 3 of 2 three-pointers with his good opening state and scored 6 points.
Just as the Nuggets began to closely guard Ben Mai, another scoring point of the Nets, Wang Chao, also quietly began to erupt.
After Chauncey Billups hit the mid-range jumper, Wang Chao scored two consecutive 2+1s, making the score no longer stalemate.
Nuggets coach George Karl saw that it was also a star singles tactic, and the opponent had one more scoring point than himself. What should I do?
So Karl turned and glanced at his own bench.
There is a way! .
After the dead ball, George Karl waved his hand, and jr-Smith came off the bench!
"Jr has a gorgeous style of play and usually appears as the team's super sixth man. It is a happy thing for the fans to let him appear early, but it is not necessarily a good thing for the team."
"correct."
"I agree."
Barkley, Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller all nodded, a rare moment when the three agreed.
Because jr is too messy, let him play, either a super god or a super ghost.
Jr has always only had the basket in his eyes, so the most suitable role for him is to play as a sixth man with a substitute.
George Karl replaced the mediocre Aaron Afflalo with jr Smith before halfway through the first quarter, and it seemed that he wanted to implement no defense to the end.
jr is also considered competitive, as soon as he came on the field, he received a pass from Chauncey Billups and made a 45-degree three-pointer.
McGrady was even more exaggerated. After the offensive and defensive transition, he directly hit a three-pointer directly above Anthony's head.
The two sides kicked off the prelude to the ultimate version of who will defend whose grandson.
Since Chauncey Billups and Anthony already have two ball-holding points on the field, jr played more like a pitcher after playing.
Jr is also very smart. When the ball is in the hands of Chauncey Billups, he runs wildly, looking for open three-point opportunities, and when the ball is in the hands of Anthony, he stays in the game, because he understands that Anthony only needs to Holding the ball must be for singles, and running by yourself is also a waste of time, so it is better to save energy.
"boom!"
Sure enough, Anthony still chose to play singles like never before, and was blocked by Big Ben after crushing Tracy McGrady to the inside.
After the two teams played a few rounds in a high-speed offensive and defensive transition, Johnson replaced Da Ben, whose physical strength had declined significantly.
Usually the first quarter can be played for 9-10 minutes, but this game was replaced after less than 8 minutes, which shows the fast pace of this game.
"Tracey, how are you feeling?"
Panting, Wang Chao asked Maddie beside him.
"I feel great. I scored 3 three-pointers. Before the end of this quarter, I think I can continue to score a few more. After all, it is rare that a team did not choose to double-team me today."
McGrady chewed his gum and replied with a relaxed face.
"I'm not asking how your hands feel, I'm asking how your body feels? Why do I feel more and more out of breath!"
"It's the goddamn altitude sickness. My first rookie season on the road was worse than yours. I was throwing up at halftime, but it's part of the NBA and you have to get used to it."
Wang Chao nodded. At this moment, he is more eager than ever to clock out in three quarters, because playing in the Pepsi Center Arena is too tortured!
Johnson also saw that Wang Chao's physical fitness seemed to be a little behind, and he beckoned Morrow on the bench to play at any time.
Morrow took off his training clothes very coolly, and started a warm-up exercise of twisting his butt on the sidelines.
"Snapped!"
Wang Chao flew forward and directly cut off a pass from Chauncey Billups to jr-Smith.
Although the single-defense ability is biased, [85]'s stealing ability can often allow Wang Chao to intercept the opponent's pass like lightning.
Jr just wanted to make a comeback, but Wang Chao rushed towards the Nuggets' half court as if he had installed a catapult.
After a dunk, Wang Chao felt less breathless. It seemed that he had gradually adapted to the altitude sickness.
Johnson saw that Wang Chao could run and dunk, so he quickly let Morrow return to the bench.
Moreau put the training suit back on his body with a helpless expression.
The game was played openly, and the happiest thing was nothing more than the fans on the scene and in front of the TV, cheering wave after wave.
With minutes left in the first quarter, Johnson replaced McGrady with Farmar.
McGrady sat back on the bench after high-fiving the bench players with 11 points in a single quarter.
This substitution adjustment made Anthony, who had an unimpeded offense all the way, become a little uncomfortable. Farmer made him an offensive foul as soon as he came on the court, and then a shot interference to his face, causing Anthony to miss a jumper.
After these two goals, Carl replaced Anthony on the grounds of excessive physical exertion and replaced Nuggets outside shooter Melvin Eli.
Chauncey Billups and Wang Chao respectively took over the team's offensive power in the last 2 minutes of the first quarter.
During the Nuggets possession, Chauncey Billups scored a jumper over Farmar with two nearly identical moves in a row
"Farmar! Keep up with him, you're leaving too much room for him to shoot!"
Wang Chao ran to Farmar to communicate with him.
"Wang, I don't want to be the background board for the top ten goals this week. The defensive task assigned to me by the coach is also to try not to let him rush into the paint."
"His footsteps are no longer what they used to be. You can't just let him shoot and stick to him. I promise you won't be the background board for the top ten shots of the week. Trust me!"
Farmar looked at Wang Chao dubiously: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
On the next Nuggets possession, Farmar slammed into Chauncey Billups as he dribbled from outside the [-]-point line.
Chauncey Billups' eyes flashed murderous intent, and Farmer's move was no different from provocation in his eyes.
A crotch followed by an acceleration, starting to break through from Farmar's right side.
The speed is not fast, and Farmar can barely keep up, but the next movement made Farmar feel more and more strenuous in his steps, as if he was being injected with lead.
Chauncey Billups made an emergency stop, pulled the ball back to the original point, then changed direction after a shake, and continued to break through from the right.
During the defensive process, Farmar felt more and more that something was wrong. When he was about to retreat, he suddenly found that he lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground!
Shake down!
Chauncey Billups, who broke into the inside, made a pull-up layup in front of Damai!
"Beep!"
