The Nuggets attacked. After Billups held the ball and passed half, facing Su Jiu, who was defending himself in front of him, Billups also felt mixed feelings.

Regarding Su Jiu's point, the Nuggets also made some more sophisticated arrangements before the game.

Bilups even prevented and watched some of Su Jiu's offensive habits, but never expected that Su Jiu would take the lead in completing a personal singles after the opening.

And it is still in this unreasonable way.

This situation also made Billups feel a little depressed.

On the Nuggets' offensive end, Ken Yang Martin on the inside and Deng Tai Jones on the outside can be said to be on the defensive side.

As for the offensive end, there are basically not many things for them.

The reason why the team resolutely sent away Allen Iverson this season was that the team failed to lead the team to make a breakthrough in the playoffs because of their cooperation.

More importantly, because both of them love to play football during the game, this also led to the Nuggets' offense being able to blindly fall into personal singles.

The other teammates are more like a wooden stake and can only make a difference on the defensive end.

And when Anthony and Iverson were on the court at the same time, the Nuggets did not have a real offensive backbone on the court, which was the biggest problem when the Golden Snaps were together.

After all, the two partners of Anthony and Iverson are very different from Su Jiu and Howard at present.

Although Lewis was absent due to injury, most of the offensive pressure was also pressing on Su Jiu and Howard.

However, under any circumstances, the Magic's star has always been Howard, which is also unanimously recognized by the outside world.

Even Su Jiu's sudden emergence this season is far beyond people's imagination, and he even has the great potential to become a star in the future.

But no matter what, the Magic's star is Howard so far, so even when Su Jiu and Howard are there at the same time, there will not be too many disputes.

Anthony and Iverson are very different, and their personal data are both excellent.

And if it comes to popularity, Iverson still has to get away with Anthony's big gap, but Anthony has been playing for the Nuggets since entering the league.

Before this, it was long been recognized as the star of the Nuggets, which also made it difficult for the two to tell the difference between the two on the court.

Although Anthony and Iverson have a close relationship off the court, there are not many rumors of disagreement.

However, when on the court, the two men's choice directly disrupted the offensive rhythm of the entire Nuggets.

This is also the main reason why the Nuggets management did not hesitate to send Allen Iverson away before the start of this season.

Because with the departure of Allen Iverson, a relatively stable Billups came to trade, so the Nuggets could rebuild with Anthony as their absolute core.

In the absence of fighting, we should also try our best to exert more strength from other players.

And this is also the main reason why JR Smith has emerged this season.

When Billups passed the half, he saw Anthony, who was standing in the horn position and having been entangled with Courtney Lee, reached out to ask for the ball.

Billups didn't think much about it at all, and subconsciously passed the ball directly to Anthony in the horn position.

Holding the ball, facing Courtney Li, Anthony also put on a three-threatening posture in front of the basket. This action also made Little Li's nerves tense instantly and did not dare to be careless at all.

After all, in the current league, there are a total of two offensive kaleidoscopes recognized by the league.

These two are Anthony in the West and Pierce in the East. However, compared with Paul Pierce's foot movements, Anthony's offensive methods are obviously better.

So for Li Zi, this game is another very difficult task.

With Lewis' absence due to injury, Courtney Lee also gained a lot of playing time, and used his personal performance to successfully gain Stan Van Gundy's recognition.

It can be said that when Lewis was absent due to injury, Courtney Lee was definitely the player who benefited the most from the Magic.

But for Courtney Lee, the increase in playing time is not necessarily a good thing.

For example, I was just abused by James not long ago, and Anthony was pressed to the ground for friction in this game!!

"I'm damn, I'm cheating me..."

After posing in three threatening positions, Anthony also used the tentative steps to conduct two tests.

Then he suddenly completed a mid-range jump shot directly in front of Courtney Lee.

The first time Anthony made a raising hand, Little Li rushed forward without hesitation.

However, Anthony's shot was a little slight backward, so even though Little Little was already very fast, she still failed to interfere with Anthony's shooting too much.

The reason why Anthony, who dared not stick to the defensive end, is that Anthony is not only good at horn jump shots at mid-range on both sides, but also good at one-on-one impacts at the basket.

So this also makes the defenders not dare to stand against Anthony too close, but also have to be wary of his shooting.

It can be said that in terms of scoring ability during this period, Anthony is definitely not inferior to LeBron James. At least in terms of personal defense, Anthony is definitely the man at the top of the league.

"Swish~"

3:2

With Anthony's mid-range jump shot firmly entering the net, the entire Denver home court instantly cheered from fans.

It is simply a very different reaction from Su Jiu's after scoring the goal just now, and it cannot be said in the same way.

After scoring the goal, Anthony returned to defense without expression, and stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, which seemed to be a little arrogant.

Before receiving the ball, looking at the slightly frustrated Courtney Li, Su Jiu also came to Li Zi and comforted him softly:

"Don't be upset. Carmelo's offensive ability is at the top even in the league, so calm down and don't worry too much about the results."

"Believe me, you will learn a lot from this personal match between Carmelo in this game."

"And these things are your greatest wealth in the future."

Hearing Su Jiu's comfort to him, Li Zi also smiled bitterly, without saying anything, just nodded gently.

Courtney Lee is also very clear that he is far from comparable to a superstar like Carmelo Anthony.

It was even more puzzling to lock Anthony in one-on-one defense, but Li Zi still felt a little frustrated by Anthony's personal score so easily on his head.

After all, this is very different from when defending LeBron James. When defending James, Little Little felt completely powerless.

Because James' body is too strong, once James is hit, Little Little is unable to fight against him physically.

So even though LeBron James still scored a lot of points on his head, Courtney Lee could at least give some self-comfort:

"Huh~, LeBron is too strong, so I can't defend him. This is also what I should do. After all, I have just entered the league and my body is far from being compared with him."

However, Anthony's scoring on his head in this game did not rely on his body, but simply suppressed his offensive skills.

So this also caused Little Li Zi to suffer some blow. After all, Li Zi had always felt that his progress was very obvious before this. Even during the period when Rashad was absent, he helped the team win a series of consecutive victories.

This also made Li Zi think that he could already be among the top in the league on the defensive end, but in this game Carmelo Anthony taught him a good lesson.

After the first round of attack, he poured a basin of cold water on his head, and kindly taught him what daydreaming is...

For the Magic, when Su Jiu passed the half-time with the ball in one go, Billups seemed extremely focused and did not dare to be careless at all.

However, Su Jiu didn't have much thought, but played a pick-and-roll with Howard at a high position.

Since Lewis was absent due to injury, Su Jiu and Howard have played pick-and-rolls in high positions and have also risen sharply.

Because so far, Su Jiu and Howard can only rely on the offensive end.

So when these two people play pick-and-roll at a high position, one person can shoot and one person can deduct, which also makes it difficult for defensive players to make a real choice.

Once the defensive players cannot cooperate in advance and retreat as soon as possible, it may give the Magic more offensive opportunities.

After all, compared with the threat from the projection end, Su Jiu's ability on the passing end needs to be taken one step further, so as long as Howard can come up with the opportunity, Su Jiu will definitely be able to pass the ball to the latter's hand as soon as possible to end.

Facing the pick-and-roll between Su Jiu and Howard, Billups was also very close and did not dare to let Su Jiu shoot.

After all, after Su Jiu's shooting ability on the outside started, Billups already had a deep understanding of his performance.

For Billups, who has always been known for his stability, it is difficult for him to make these low-level mistakes continuously.

"Stand backwards, backwards!"

The first time the two of them started playing pick-and-roll, Billups shouted to Nene behind him.

Since Howard basically has no shooting range, Billups has always allowed Nene to stand a little further to prevent Howard from killing the basket with a sudden burst.

Because with Howard's current physical fitness, as long as he rushes up in the first two steps, all the defensive players can do is to pull him out of the air, and there is no other way.

Hearing Billups' reminder, Nene also asked his position to be as far back as possible to prevent Howard from directly passing through himself through sudden acceleration and turning, thus completing the dunk to the basket.

However, while Nene chose to shrink, it means that Billups had to defend Su Jiu and Howard at the same time.

Although Howard did not have the ability to project at a high position, his strong body was easily bypassed by Billups.

If Nene does not choose to shrink so much, then he can also relieve some of Billups' confusion when he is surrounding the pick-and-roll by delaying upwards.

However, because Billups was more afraid that Howard and Su Jiu would complete the empty cuts against the basket, Nene immediately contracted the basket.

After all, this kind of cooperation between Howard and Su Jiu has been staged many times in the previous games.

This was something that George Carl repeatedly reminded him to try his best to avoid before the game.

Seeing Nene shrinking backwards, there was no intention of rushing up, and Billups failed to follow up immediately because of Howard's pick-and-roll.

So Su Jiu did not hesitate at all. Before his body stood firm, he directly chose a drifting three-pointer!!

The moment Su Jiu took the ball, the entire Magic team stood up instantly on the bench. Tony Barty even raised his hands high, as if celebrating in advance.

"Swish~"
