, the fastest update NBA: the latest chapter of the No. 1 forward!
But Anthony was not angry, but took a deep breath to calm himself down.
He knows that the best way to change the fans' impression is to defeat the opponent. The Clippers used to have no strength. If the Clippers want to win the fan market in Los Angeles, they need to prove themselves with victories.
Anthony took a deep breath. He knew that he could only use his calm emotions and best state to defeat Lian Dao.
Lian Dao is very popular this year. The title of "the strongest small forward in the league" is constantly mentioned in the media, but this does not mean that Lian Dao is invincible.
Anthony has confidence, and such confidence is not arrogance, but as the league's super scorer, he has such ability.
In addition to the 49 points scored against the Oklahoma City Thunder just now, in the few games before the All-Star break for the Clippers, Anthony scored 30+ in four consecutive games.
His stats after coming to the Clippers are actually much better than his stats in the Knicks in his previous life.
So far, Anthony has averaged 26.3 points and 6.3 rebounds per game, shooting 45.5% from the field, and a slightly worse three-point shooting percentage, but also 33.5%.
In terms of personal scoring ability, Anthony is still one of the strongest stars in the league.
Therefore, even with Shang Lian Dao, Anthony still has confidence. In the third position, he doesn't think that he will be worse than anyone else.
During the warm-up, Anthony also seemed particularly serious before the game.
After Lian Dao saw Anthony's state, he was also very glad that he hadn't been careless before.
With the end of the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides also played.
Lian Dao took a look at the lineup of the Clippers, and he was not only secretly dumbfounded, it was really luxurious.
Chris Paul, Randy Foye, Carmelo Anthony, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan.
To be honest, Sterling's determination to form this lineup was the most unexpected for Lian Dao.
But Lian Dao doesn't think this lineup can last for a long time, especially when the luxury tax will be implemented next season, and they will also face the issue of renewal after Griffin's rookie contract expires.
If they want to keep Griffin, they will either have to pay a sky-high luxury tax, or the Big Three will have to give up one of them.
But according to Sterling's stingy habits...
Of course, if the Clippers can win the championship in the past two years, Sterling may still bite the bullet and leave the entire lineup.
It can be said that whether the formation of the Big Three will last for a long time actually depends on the Clippers' record in the past two seasons.
…
After the game started, Cousins took the lead and moved the ball over Jordan's head to the backcourt to help the Knicks get the ball.
Jordan has not yet reached the peak of his career, but his progress over the past few seasons is obvious to all.
Although it is difficult to grow into a super center with Jordan's skills, according to his current growth trend, there is still no problem for Jordan to become the league's top blue-collar center.
The Knicks made the first attack, and Stoudemire took the lead.
He believes that he can still be as easy as last season against Griffin, who is in the second grade.
But Griffin, who has been baptized in his rookie season, has long been different.
Especially the current Griffin, who is not inferior to Stoudemire in terms of explosive power and strength, and is even better than Stoudemire in terms of speed.
Moreover, Griffin has speed and strength on the defensive end, and can defend one-on-one. Although limited by his wingspan and not enough to block shots, he can still do well in one-on-one interference.
So in this attack, Griffin first withstood Stoudemire's powerful impact, and then at the moment when Stoudemire's rhythm was chaotic, he quickly lowered his center of gravity and cut the ball with his hands!
At the beginning of the game, before Anthony had exerted his strength, Griffin took the lead in setting an example.
Griffin quickly controlled the basketball after the steal, dribbled the ball behind Stoudemire easily, and then immediately launched a fast break.
Lian Dao posted it immediately to prevent Griffin from rushing up.
But Griffin didn't stick the ball at all, and sent the ball directly to the frontcourt.
At this time, Anthony received the ball and continued to attack. The Knicks quickly shrank to the inside, cautiously Anthony hit the basket.
However, no one expected that Anthony didn't choose to hit the basket at all, and suddenly stopped outside the three-point line, and then drew his bow and arrow, and shot a three-pointer!
He didn't expect Anthony to be so decisive as soon as he came up. It actually takes courage to choose to stop for a three-pointer in a fast-break sports game instead of a more secure offense at the basket.
Lian Dao and Danny Green's supplementary defense was finally a step slower, and Anthony's emergency stop three-pointer went into the net hollowly.
One defense and one offense, Griffin and Anthony cooperated tacitly.
Lian Dao: Didn't it mean that Griffin and Anthony are not compatible on the court?
The moment Anthony hit a three-pointer, the fans in the Staples Center cheered instantly.
The team's cooperation is very good today. They seem to see the hope of defeating the defending champion. If they can defeat the defending champion, it will prove that they really have the strength to compete for the championship.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and read books recently, change sources and switch, read aloud with many timbres, and both Android and Apple can be used. 】
After Anthony scored a goal, he did not spout trash talk at Lian Dao, but made a classic "three-point headshot" celebration.
Lian Dao licked his lips, and glanced at Anthony who was high-fiveing Chris Paul and Griffin in the defense.
It seems that today, we must work hard at the Staples Center!
There is no shortage of great performances at Staples Center, but most of these great performances come from the Lakers, such as Kobe's 81-point night!
Anthony may also want to leave his mark on Staples, but he chose the wrong opponent. Lian Dao will never let himself be the background board of other people's great moments.
No matter who the opponent is, the Big Three of the Heat can't do it, and neither can the Clippers' "Galaxy Battleship"!
The Knicks attacked for the second time. Holiday was just about to play tactics and gave the ball to Cousins, but when he was about to call a pick-and-roll, he stopped.
Because he saw Lian Dao raising his hand for the ball at this time.
This season Lian Dao seldom asks for the ball, but every time he asks for the ball, it is either when the team's offense is unfavorable, or someone stimulates his desire to attack, he has to be serious.
Seeing Lian Dao holding the ball, the fans immediately became excited.
They thought that the star players of the two teams would really exert their strength in the second half, but they didn't expect the two to face each other directly at the beginning of the game!
The moment Lian Dao received the basketball, the Staples Center was filled with cheers.
Lian Dao's championship last season, coupled with this year's All-Star Game, Lian Dao has really boosted his popularity.
In the past, he never thought about the effect of playing away games at home.
Of course, except for the Nets' home court!
But this season after winning the championship, in addition to some mortal enemies of the Knicks, Lian Dao often found fans wearing Knicks No. 1 jerseys in the home courts of some big teams.
This is influence, just like Jordan back then, even in away games, the cheers were not inferior to the fans of the home team.
Of course, Lian Dao is not yet comparable to Jordan.
But I can't stand the fact that there are so many Chinese in the United States. Chinese can be found in almost large cities in the United States, and as long as they are Chinese, most of them are fans of Lian Dao.
Anthony, who was defending Lian Dao, was in a state of tension all over his body. He opened his arms and constantly adjusted his position with small steps.
In the face of Lian Dao's attack, Anthony had to stand firm. In fact, his own defensive strength is not bad.
When Anthony and Kobe faced each other back then, the defensive ability they showed was amazing.
However, Anthony's defensive attitude has a big problem. In many cases, he is not bad at defending, but unwilling to defend.
Even ~www.mtlnovel.com~ in the last round, he was still willing to press closely, but in the next round, he directly chose to defend with his eyes.
But obviously, Anthony wanted to beat Lian Dao very much today, so he forced himself to play the defense he was least willing to do.
Lian Dao took his time and took a few tentative steps in front of Anthony.
But Anthony was unmoved, he always kept an optimal defensive distance, his eyes fixed on the basketball in Lian Dao's hands.
Seeing that Anthony's center of gravity remained unchanged, Lian Dao simply stopped probing.
The right foot kicks the ground, the left foot steps out quickly, the fastest first step, a breakthrough!
Anthony responded in a timely manner and blocked Lian Dao's breakthrough route to the left.
Lian Dao dribbled the ball under his crotch without slowing down and turning to the right to break through.
