The Godfather of Basketball

Before Anthony came to New York, Stoudemire was the short-lived owner of this arena, but after Anthony came, this is his team.

As a super small forward of the 03 generation, Anthony's personal strength is unquestionable, but his performance in the first two games was really bleak. It is not an exaggeration to say that his personal performance led to two disastrous defeats.

Now that it's his home court, Woodson wants to use this method to wake up the core of the home.

Anthony also patted his chest hard. Although he hasn't played yet, he can clearly feel that his spirit is completely different after returning to the home court.

"beep!"

Amid the cheers of the fans, Yao Ming and Chandler jumped the ball in the midfield, and the latter turned the ball back to the half court. The home team got the first chance to attack.

Bibby dribbles to the frontcourt and hands the ball to Anthony.

Anthony received the ball, did not wait for Green to double-team, and did not make any extra moves, and turned directly to the baseline.

Butler shrinks and sticks the defense.

But Anthony turned the ball very thoroughly, using his weight and strength to drive Butler directly to the basket for a rebound shot.

Butler was pinned down and couldn't jump up at all.

"boom!"

The ball is wiped into the frame.

Anthony scored on his first attack.

The cheers of the fans immediately exploded.

Sure enough, the "little melon" back home is different from the away game!

Tang Tian also held his chin in thought at this moment, it was indeed different.

The biggest change is to become decisive.

This may seem like a minor change, but it's actually crucial.

Anthony's personal ability is unquestionable. In one-on-one, not to mention Butler in his rookie period, even Butler at his peak is difficult to guard, and it takes time for the Cavaliers to double-team. Anthony's attack is decisive, and the result may be Like this play, the offense is over before the double-team is in place.

The Cavaliers' offense, Paul and Yao Ming's pick-and-roll, and the Knicks' defense are fast, and the pick-and-roll doesn't have a good chance.

The ball was passed to Yao Ming, and Yao Ming played a high post for the second wave.

Butler's air cut opportunity, Yao Ming hit the ball beautifully.

Butler took the ball and rushed to the basket for a layup.

But at this moment, Stoudemire moved laterally to the basket and stretched his arms to interfere.

"boom!"

Butler failed to score the shot under the confrontation, and the rebound was turned and accepted by Stoudemire.

Bibby took the ball to the frontcourt, and Anthony was still low.

This time Green double-teamed directly in advance and did not give Anthony a chance to catch the ball.

Bibby flicked the ball to the empty Fields, the Cavaliers assisted in the rotation, and Battier switched directly.

Fields played the ball very smartly. He faked a three-point shot. After deceiving Battier, he took the ball and went straight to the inside.

The Cavaliers' defense turned again, Green made up the defense directly, and Fields passed the ball to Anthony in the air.

Anthony still didn't hesitate to catch the ball, took a step back and shot directly from the middle distance.

Butler jumped up to interfere.

"Shua!"

The ball passed Butler's fingertips and scored!

Anthony scored 4 points in a row at the start!

"Defend! Defend!"

The emotions of the fans at the scene were thoroughly mobilized.

With Anthony like this, the Knicks have a chance to win tonight!

The offense drove the defense, and the Cavaliers once again defended against the Cavaliers' pick-and-roll, and Yao Ming's high-post support had no chance.

Seeing that there was not much time left in the attack, Yao Ming directly chose to turn around and play singles.

Stoudemire quickly retracted, and the hook in Yao Ming's turn made an early shot.

This ball is not easy.

"Shua!"

However, Yao Ming's touch was very gentle, and he still sent the ball steadily into the basket.

The Cavaliers finally broke the opening scoring drought.

"Come on! New York!"

Led by the live DJ, bursts of cheers sounded again in Madison Square Garden.

At this time, Tang Tian also reached out his hand on the sidelines to signal to continue double-teaming Anthony in advance.

Anthony tried several times without a chance to catch the ball. After Bibby saw it, he gave the ball to Stoudemire.

Stoudemire backs Battier in the low post and overtakes Battier's slow three-step hook.

Yao Ming assisted in preventing interference.

"boom!"

The ball went wide of the basket.

But Chandler stuck in position, grabbed the offensive rebound, and flicked back to Bibby on the outside.

This season, the Knicks signed Chandler with a four-year, 46 million contract. In order to sign him, the team amnesty Billups, who had just been traded, and let go of Turi, who performed well last season. Yafu, it can be said that the price is not small.

This offensive rebound also reflects the value of this contract.

However, the Cavaliers' defense was still very solid. Anthony couldn't catch the ball inside and went around in circles. The Knicks' 24-second attack time was coming soon.

Seeing that the attack time was approaching, Anthony directly gave up the inside position at this time, and ran directly to the outside line, shouting and reaching out for the ball while running.

Bibby had stopped the ball on the perimeter for a while, and he had no choice but to take a shot against Paul. Now seeing Anthony coming out, he passed the ball without hesitation for half a second.

Anthony received the ball while running, and the Knicks had only 2 seconds left in their attack time, so he pulled it up and threw it away.

Butler jumped up to interfere, and the ball directly blocked his face, an excellent defense.

but……

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, Anthony scored a three-pointer!

Personally scored 7 points in a row!

"Carmelo~Anthony!"

Amid the elongated shouts of the DJ at the scene, the New York fans at the scene were completely excited.

This was the Anthony they knew!

Offensive kaleidoscope, the 03 generation of small forwards who have no solution to attack!

Tang Tian stood up from the bench at this time.

He foresaw that Anthony's touch would recover, but he didn't expect it to be so good. You must know that the two defenses behind Butler have done a good job.

Anthony and McGrady are a type of super scorer. It is difficult for them to find the touch and completely kill them.

He turned and called old Carter up.

At this time, offense is more important than defense.

"Vince, try to limit Melo's receiving the ball as much as possible." Before Carter came on the field, Tang Tian pulled Carter and urged.

Carter nodded, stripped off his training clothes and ran to the technical table.

Paul's mid-range jumper continued to score for the Cavaliers.

Looking back, Anthony received the ball from outside the three-point line and directly launched a breakthrough, and the jumper with an emergency stop caused a thug foul by Butler.

"beep!"

A short whistle sounded from the sidelines.

Carter pulled his waistband, pointed at Butler, and then came off the bench.

Anthony smiled when he saw Carter coming up, this is an old acquaintance.

Made both free throws.

Anthony felt hot after the opening game, and personally scored 9 points in a row!

The Knicks also lead the Cavaliers 9-4.

For the first time since the two teams met, they took the lead.

"Look! Dude! This is the beginning!" Buckley in the commentary seat finally raised his eyebrows at this time, sat up straight, and shouted with his back straight.
