Maybe Anthony’s words just angered him. Artest’s defensive concentration is much higher than before. Anthony tried many offensive ways, but it was a breakthrough.
In the end, Anthony turned around and leaned back to end the attack. This time, he lost his luck and forced the ball to crash. A dozen iron rebounds were also collected by O’ Neill.
Anthony shook his head slightly depressed and then turned to retreat.
These two singles have also become a microcosm at the end of the second quarter. It is difficult for other Nuggets players to find offensive opportunities. Most of the time, they rely on Anthony to fight Artest.
The effect is very bad. Anthony can still try his best to attack. Although the effect is not good, he can still hit twice after five shots, but at the end of the day, his physical strength dropped sharply, and then he shot three times, all of which ended while the iron was hot.
By the end of the second quarter, the Nuggets’ backward score was gradually widened from 11 points to 1 point.
The performance of the players on the Nuggets side is even worse. Anthony scored 4 points on 2 of 9 shots. The highest score was coval, who hit 3 3-pointers against the Pacers’ bench.
On the other hand, the Pacers’ four cores, except Artest, all scored double, and Miller scored 1 point.
D’ Antoni stamped his feet on the sidelines, but now he feels that there is a gap between the two teams in terms of strength, and Anthony is weak. There is not much to be continued in this game.
Chapter one hundred and fourteen Mu Dashu comfort
In a game with little suspense, the Nuggets finally lost 7-6, although they lost more than ten points, but it was also when the game entered the garbage early, and the score of 7 points also set a record for the Nuggets’ lowest score in the season.
Fans watching the game on the spot can see the Nuggets’ strength against the Pacers if they are not blind. Although most of them insist on leaving until the end of the game, their eyes are full of disappointment.
After the game, Anthony and his teammates walked to the locker room from the players’ aisle in frustration.
Among them, Anthony is the most uncomfortable. He rarely scored in this game, and he walked forward with his head down than he was annoyed.
"Hey Melo" just then a voice stopped Anthony.
Anthony heard the shout, lowered his head and looked back. It was Mutombo. He managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "Hey Dickenbay ~"
"Why do you look like a deflated ball?" Mutombo said
"Not yet … you know I did very badly in this game," said Anthony’s vendor Nye.
"Hey Melo, come on, you have to learn to adjust yourself," Mutombo said in a tone. "There are always winners and losers in the game. You have to try to accept the game when Jordan lost."
"But … I behaved badly …" Anthony shook his head and said.
"Melo’s personal performance is even less concerned about the team’s winning or losing, but at least the strength is in charge. Players’ performance, especially those on the outside or front line, often depends on their touch. It’s normal for you to have such a brilliant performance in the previous period, so it’s only natural that you don’t care," Mutombo continued
"Maybe … what you said is right." Anthony nodded. If he is a rookie, Mu Dashu’s words should be of great significance to him, but he knows the reasons for his performance and can hear that Mu Dashu is comforting him.
"Let’s go take a bath to make ourselves feel better. We will travel away in two days, so we should adjust our mentality." Mutombo patted Anthony on the shoulder and said.
"Well," Anthony walked forward with his head half down.
"Hey Melo" is just then preceded by a familiar sound.
As soon as Anthony looked up, he saw a middle-aged man with a little white hair looking at his five years old. His mind flashed the information of the person in front of him for the first time.
Steve? Smith Oak Hill High School Meritorious Coach
"Hey, Coach Smith!" Anthony was very surprised at the uninvited guests.
"You talk first and I’ll go first." Mutombo smiled at Smith for a while and then walked out along the player’s aisle.
"Hey merlot, how do you feel? In the league, "Smith asked.
"Farewell, today’s performance was really terrible," Anthony said with a depressed face. Is coach Smith better than college coach Jim in Anthony’s memory? Bauham is more intimate in
"Don’t be discouraged, kid. The season is still long. You should learn to adapt," Smith said with a smile.
"Yes, the season is long." Anthony also felt a headache when he thought of as many as two games. Now it is not easy to think about playing in the nba.
Smith nodded with a smile.
"By the way, coach, why are you here?" Anthony asked doubtfully.
"I’m going to montrose Christian College to recruit a player, and I happened to pass by Denver. I thought you’d come here and have a look, and it just happened to touch your game today," Smith explained with a smile.
"oh? Which player? Actually want to coach you to recruit yourself? " Anthony asked questioningly, if a high school recruits players, it would be good for the team scouts to do it. It would definitely not be an ordinary person to let the coach go in person.
