Chapter 118 116. Run, Chauncey Billups
Linas Kleiza, Lithuania's star of hope, was the absolute main player in the 08 Olympics. He was called "Lithuania's future Barkley" by the national team coach at the age of 10. It took three years to become an important rotation player in Denver.
Ankle X-rays were positive, showing structural damage, and Linas' medical report cast a cloud over his future.
Crazy Karl used his strength to trap Linas Kleiza...
Back to the game, Anthony played early.
As a veteran coach, George Karl knew very well that Linas' injury and retirement would definitely affect the morale of the players, so he asked Anthony to confront Chen Long head-on, but Melon ignored them.
"Idiot, without me sending Allen away against all odds, would you be the boss of the team?" Karl complained in his heart.
The team is leading, and Anthony's desire to attack is not strong.
What's more, the opponent is Chen Long, who is amazingly strong and has a strong defense. Anthony doesn't want to be deflated in front of his younger brother.
However, George Karl reminded the Nuggets' backup point guard Anthony Carter to continue to play Melon, and he must continue to put pressure on Chen Long.
Therefore, Anthony Carter ignored the ball from Balkman and JR Smith, but passed to Melo who was 'walking' on the diagonal.
At this point, more than ten seconds of attack time had been wasted.
The moment he caught the ball, Anthony was stunned for a moment, thinking that JR's hand feels very hot, why pass it to me now?
Anthony pushed Chen Long with the ball in one hand. Feeling that the Chinese Dragon was still very energetic, he decisively threw the blame to JR Smith who ran to the opposite corner.
George Karl hammered the air angrily, thinking why Anthony doesn't have the arrogance of a star at all, dare not even beat a Chinese kid? !
JR made a shot at the buzzer, and the basketball bounced off the basket's neck.
Chen Long predicted the landing point and grabbed the rebound.
In order to cooperate with George Karl's defensive system, Anthony began to symbolically interfere with Chen Long's counterattack.
I saw Chen Long pass a floor ball to Dai Quinn Cook after Melon jumped up.
Dai Quinn Cook and Lynch Hunter played two-for-one in the frontcourt, and Anthony Carter had to hug Cook and destroy the Bulls' counterattack with a foul.
George Karl always felt that there was something wrong with the team's defense, but he couldn't think of any link that was wrong, so he didn't continue to use substitutes, and Chauncey and others played again.
Vinidnagro also returned to the main force.
Cook made two free throws and the point difference returned to 8 points.
The second half of the third quarter will determine the outcome of the entire game!
If the Bulls in the away game bite the score, there will still be games in the fourth quarter.
On the contrary, as long as the point difference returns to more than 15 points, Pooh will consider the physical fitness of the main players and give up the game in a timely manner.
The audience in the Pepsi Center Arena was thundering, and some even raised a big sign prepared before the game, which read 13-1, implying that the Nuggets would end the Bulls' winning streak.
Chauncey is notoriously good at running, and both Tzabo Sefolosha and Daequan Cook couldn't keep up with him after back-to-backs.
As soon as he played, Chauncey hit a jumper with a pass from Kenyon Martin.
The Bulls also can't switch on Chauncey Billups because Joakim Noah isn't strong enough to limit the league's top shooting guards.
Moreover, Anthony and Kenyon Martin are extremely offensive, and Chen Long and Derrick Rose have no way to double up to help Dai Quinn Cook.
"What should I do?" Rose asked standing beside Chen Long.
Chen Long thought about it and had to solve the problem by himself.
In this round, Rose made a foul against the actor Martin, which was considered revenge.
Kenyon Martin smiled helplessly, thinking how fast this No. 1 is learning, coupled with such a strong talent, the future will be great.
Taking advantage of the dead ball, Chen Long walked to the sidelines and said to Pooh, "Let me defend Chauncey, and Anthony will let Deng handle it!"
"But your physical strength?"
"Pooh, can't you tell, my physical fitness is fine!"
While talking, Chen Long laughed and jumped a few times.
Pooh could see that his bounce was still light.
Although it is amazing, it is obvious that there is not only oil in Chen Long's barrel, but a lot of it!
Dai Quinn Cook left the field, and Chen Long played the second position.
Luol Deng replaced Chen Long as small forward.
George Karl squinted his eyes triumphantly, thinking that Chauncey was a tough nut to crack, and Chen Long was just making a fuss of himself.
Then Chen Long stuck it to Chauncey Billups' body, and his left hand kept grabbing Chauncey's jersey intentionally or unintentionally.
The purpose is simple, Chen Long doesn't want to lose track of this Mr. Big Shot!
Seeing the rookie volunteer to defend himself, Chauncey smiled slightly, and then the two began to compete with each other.
"Chen Long will miss having a pair of legs that can run..."
The Denver announcer blew a whistle, mocking Chen Long for making a bad choice.
The Nuggets' defense is to switch defenses infinitely, so running is not only in the offense.
Chen Long stopped attacking, and kept joking and pushing each other with Chauncey.
Luol Deng received a pass from Rose and made an empty cut layup.
If Terrence Thomas is replaced by Sean Marion, these five people are the strongest offensive lineup the Bulls can come up with now.
Changxi sprinted at high speed trying to get rid of Chen Long. When he ran to the bottom line, when he turned his head, Chen Long followed closely behind his ass.
Chasing the bottom line, going around screens, and making fancy moves, Chauncey has been following the ghostly Chinese dragon behind him.
Kenyon Martin routinely passes the ball to Chauncey without looking.
Chauncey did get in position, but he didn't run away from the defender as usual.
Chen Long waited for Chauncey to finish his first fake move, and he blocked his shot with a big wave of his hand.
"This kid really just finished fighting back to back?" Chauncey was stunned.
And Chen Long is still very calm, not like a rookie player at all.
In addition to developing Chauncey's mentality on the defensive end, Chen Long also imitated Chauncey's running on the offensive end and made him chase him in turn.
The same running without the ball, after Chen Long received the pass from Rose, he shot directly without making a fake move. Chauncey made an empiric error, and it was too late to pounce again, so he could only watch the basketball fly into the basket.
After a few rounds, Chauncey and Chen Long staged a racing scene on the court.
The crowd in Denver looked straight ahead.
"Hey, who won?"
"I think it's Bulls No. 24..."
"Will Chauncey outrun that Chinese guy?"
"Didn't you see that Chauncey's lips are purple?!"
Just like the audience saw through the big screen, George Karl on the sidelines didn't know what to say.
Because Chen Long didn't even catch his breath until now.
In contrast, the tireless Chauncey Billups was sweating profusely.
"Run, Chauncey!" Chen Long teased with a smile.
With the recovery of the small white bottle as a base, Chen Long has just warmed up now.
"..."
Chauncey leaned on his knees, panting.
"God, what kind of monster is this kid in his previous life, why can't he run away to death!"
Hearing Chen Long's ridicule, this FMVP didn't even have the strength to respond, leaving only endless bitterness on his face...
