Chapter 628 627. Meeting More Shameless People
This season, the Eagles have gradually gained the nickname of the Bird Slayer.
Four of the top five picks in the 2003 class have been abused.
It started with Milicic, who was welcomed into the NBA.
Immediately afterwards, James was "entertained" by the Eagles' meat grinder combination.
Then there is Wade, Liu Mang turned against customers at the American Airlines Center, yelling bold words to dominate the East.
The last one is Anthony, the rookie king with the most mature skills and the best leadership record among the 2003 rookies.
In people's eyes, the 03 generation is very similar to the 96 generation. Both are a mature rookie who is very successful in college, and a rookie who is a high school student who sells potential. James is like Kobe, who entered the NBA with endless expectations. After Kobe's successful example, James directly became the first pick.
Anthony is like Iverson back then. He was valued when he entered the NBA. He has a unique appearance, mature technology and strong strength. He immediately became the core and is very popular. Moreover, Anthony is luckier than Iverson. Entered the playoffs and accumulated a lot of "talent".
In the 2002-03 season, when they were doing poorly in the last year, they made a lot of deals to welcome James. First, they got big center Camby, but they didn't expect that they only got a third pick. Of course, the best choice among Wade and Anthony is Anthony. Anthony University is similar to Joey Williams, the MOP of the semifinals in March Madness, and then met an opponent who had already booked the No. 1 spot , can only be the second choice in people's eyes.
I just didn't expect that the Pistons didn't choose Anthony. The Nuggets had planned to choose Wade, but they definitely wanted Anthony.
After getting Anthony, the Nuggets continued to trade out the players accumulated in the previous three or four years. Most of them were young players and veterans who seemed to have potential but had been worn out by bad teams. Juwan Howard, Salmond Williams and others, successively traded from the Clippers to Andre Miller, who was signed first and then traded for a six-year 50 million contract, became the core of the Nuggets. This was the assist king last season!
Earl Boykins from the Warriors, Voshan Leonard from the three-way trade with the Raptors and the Magic, plus the original Nene Hilario, form a very high-quality new generation and The young combination of the Mesozoic looks promising for the future.
And there is no need for the future. After Anthony joined, the Nuggets have a clear goal and entered the playoffs from the beginning.
The Nuggets can be considered to be worthy of a battle. Although people don't think that the Nuggets are stronger than the Eagles, the strength of the two teams is not at the same level, but in the regular season, there will always be some upsets.
So people are very interested in whether the Nuggets can be upset, and whether the Eagles want to abuse the rookie again when they meet Anthony, a rookie.
Liu Mang also came with the friendly idea of impressing Anthony if he wanted to play against Anthony for the first time.
But from the beginning of the game, there was a little deviation from what Liu Mang thought.
My side, as Liu Mang expected, had an advantage at the beginning.
The game lasted for more than a quarter, and the Eagles had been in a dominant state. When the Eagles returned to the court in the middle of the second quarter, even though the Nuggets had accumulated a lot of bench gangsters over the years, Bo Ekins is completely defenseless, too fast, too fast, too fast, 1.65 meters, 26 years old, at the time when Boykins was the fastest, although Boykins couldn't train him as the core, but came up suddenly Just a wave, the thief is strong.
But the second team led by Stockton was not bad. Jason Terry and Boykins faced each other. Halfway through the second quarter, the Eagles still led by 9 points 49 to 40.
But it was not Anthony who responded from the Nuggets. Nuggets coach Jeff Bzdelik did not let Anthony go head-to-head with the Eagles!
Except when Liu Mang switched defense to Anthony, the opponent directly relied on his height to shoot a shot from outside. As long as Raheem defended Anthony, Anthony would go to be a pitcher.
Jeff Bzdelik didn't dare to take risks. The other four top five picks in the 2003 generation were abused enough by the Eagles. Anthony is not the kind of rookie with a tough mind. The guy in the game is broken, and he can't find a place to cry.
On the first offense back from the official timeout, the Nuggets have the ball.
Anthony opened up space outside the 45-degree three-point line, waiting to see if there is a chance to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer. If not, it is also good to see the strongest player on his side and the strongest player on the opponent.
Anthony likes watching the strong duel the most!
Liu Mang tried his best to use his arms to resist the king of the floor flow in front of him, but he couldn't stand it. He was squeezed into the three-second zone by the opponent, turned around and hit the board to score two points.
Liu Mang was ready for one-on-one for this match, but he didn't expect that it wasn't the rookie Anthony who came up to fight with him, but this big ass assist brush!
Liu Mang played very smoothly on the offensive end, with a high shooting percentage and a lot of scoring. However, he didn't expect that Andre Miller, who he was defending, would actually fight against him!
And neither Liu Mang nor Prince can guard against him!
Liu Mang was dug up by Andre Miller again, and Andre Miller turned sideways with his back to the basket and easily scored two points with a small hook.
The Eagles didn’t dare to double-team inside. This guy passed the ball too accurately and quickly. Although Andre Miller won the assists title in the Cavaliers before, he didn’t make the playoffs. The Cavaliers ranked fourth from the bottom in the league. , People say that his assist king is brushed.
But without the ability to pass the ball, without the accuracy of the pass, without the ability to hold the ball for a long time and still be able to protect the ball steadily and wait for teammates to have a chance to pass it out, no matter how many opportunities are given, they will not be able to win the assist king .
In the previous few rounds, the Eagles tried to double-team, and Andre Miller passed several balls to Nene, and Nene abused the basket very happily.
The Eagles really can't defend against Andre Miller. Prince can't handle it. If Raheem defends Andre Miller, his speed can keep up. Andre Miller's speed is very fast. It's slow, but since then Anthony is happy. When playing against Liu Mang, he will take a step forward and shoot directly.
Anthony's skills are too mature, and he is another historical player who averaged 20+ per game in his rookie season.
The Eagles can only use Liu Mang to defend against Andre Miller. Unfortunately, they still can't defend against him, but Liu Mang is the most restrictive one given.
No one expected that Andre Miller would actually want to confront Liu Mang!
Liu Mang was beaten again, but there was nothing he could do. Seeing that the Nuggets still wanted to chase points, and Andre Miller really had that strength, Liu Mang could only respond from the offensive end.
However, although he couldn't guard against Andre Miller, who resembled the bearded Karen Mok in Shaolin football, Liu Mang played very easily on the offensive end. After being forced by Andre Miller a few times, Liu Mang was also annoyed, regardless of Anthony's side, and confronted Andre Miller.
Relying on his speed, Liu Mang easily went to the basket to play with Nene, a second-year center. Ratliff faced Camby, a contemporary player who competed with him for the block leader this season. People are stuck there, Liu Mang enters the inside line, Nene and the Nuggets do not come to flank, he scores directly, it is useless for Nene to come alone, he is still tender, only in the second grade, Liu Mang hits He is the same as playing, if the Nuggets flank, Liu Mang will split the ball.
If Andre Miller retreated to defend, or the Nuggets directly double-teamed from the outside, Liu Mang would not pass and let his teammates go to the inside, and then he made a three-pointer, and made it as soon as he could. Great advantage!
And Andre Miller's footsteps are really slow, Liu Mang made a sudden step and retreated, and Andre Miller couldn't keep up at all.
So, the game returned to the situation in the first half of the first quarter, and Liu Mang and Andre Miller fought again!
However, Liu Mang has some advantages after all. With both him and Andre Miller having good hands and the opponents not daring to double-team, Liu Mang's COSCO shot became the decisive point!
Liu Mang played a very good offensive performance. Andre Miller's defense is very average, especially when facing speed players. Liu Mang made 16 of 25 and 3 of 7 three-pointers. , 4 of 6 free throws, scored 39 points and 8 assists, helped the Eagles to open the point difference to 106 to 86 in the halfway point of the fourth quarter, and the Nuggets announced their surrender. Nene and Camby were replaced.
Anthony's performance was very stable, he made a step shot here, a back shot there, and scored 20 points in 36 minutes of playing, but his presence was too low! There is no direct confrontation with Liu Mang and others.
At this time, Liu Mang's score was still the highest on the field, and Andre Miller only scored 33 points. Scored 11 points in 7 minutes of the first quarter, 8 points in 5 minutes of the second quarter, and 10 points in 8 minutes of the third quarter. Barnes, a surprise player, was replaced by Andre Miller, who had scored 29 points in the first three quarters. 33 points and 7 assists.
The Eagles took the opportunity to widen the point difference to 20 points and beat the Nuggets to a white flag.
But Liu Wei didn't expect that Mo Wenwei of the other party was so shameless! After the point difference was widened, Andre Miller was still digging on the field, relying on the low position to eat hard. In the last six minutes, he was stunned to score 10 points. In the end, Andre Miller made 19 of 27 shots and 7 free throws. Shot 5, scored 43 points and 9 assists with a super high 70% shooting rate! Before the game ended abruptly, he scored higher than Liu Mang in scoring, field goal percentage and even assists!
Although the game was won by 113 to 100, Liu Mang almost vomited blood with anger!
Liu Mang felt that he was already thick-skinned! I didn't expect to meet someone even more shameless!
As expected of a man who dared to become the assist leader on the fourth-to-last team in the league!
