Chapter 532 George's Highlight! JR's Outburst! Losing His Mind!
Halftime is over.
[Knicks 65:56 Nuggets]
Intermission.
The Knicks have an 9-point lead.
Back for the second half.
Su Yan, Curry, and George vs. Anthony, Stoudemire, and Billups.
The bombardment continues.
However, as time went on, the Knicks' advantage grew larger and larger, and the point difference reached double digits.
As the team grew larger, even though Anthony and Stoudemire remained mentally sound, they couldn't mount a counter-attack under Su Yan's defensive pressure.
It's like a slow suicide.
The situation is quite unfavorable for the Nuggets.
While the entire Nuggets team was somewhat at a loss, unsure how to break the deadlock.
JR Smith stepped forward.
He first hit a three-pointer from the left arc, facing Tony Allen's fierce defense.
Incisive and accurate to the point.
High-difficulty hit.
He immediately received a pass from Anthony and dashed to the basket like lightning, finishing with a layup.
He twirled through the air like a vine, dodging blocks from George and Tyson, and then hit the backboard in the opposite direction as he fell.
"Shh!"
Hit again.
This is not over yet.
In the very next possession, JR Smith faced Paul George in a mismatch defense.
They forcefully pushed the ball to the low position on the right side.
"Stab!"
Sudden stop and pull-out.
Facing George's long, close-up arm, he launched a super-difficult fadeaway shot.
"Shh!"
But it was accompanied by a crisp, piercing sound.
The basketball swished through the net.
Middle middle middle.
JR Smith, who is not "crazy," seemed to have been given a cheat code, making three incredible offensive plays that were worthy of being featured in the top ten.
That last super fadeaway jumper, with the camera zooming out, if you didn't look closely, you'd think it was Jordan playing basketball!
JR isn't crazy, he's an All-Star every day!!!
That's absolutely true!
With Anthony and Stoudemire still in form, the Nuggets launched a counterattack thanks to the sudden outburst of the "erratic" JR Smith.
The difference in points quickly narrowed to single digits.
With five minutes remaining in the third quarter, JR Smith once again hit a drifting mid-range jumper over the defense.
The score difference has been tied.
The Nuggets are on a crazy roll.
Su Yan's gaze sharpened, and in the midst of a change in offense, he pushed forward at full speed, targeting Anthony and launching a violent confrontation.
Once or twice.
"Dengdengdeng!"
Completely overwhelmed, Anthony stumbled backward and fell to the floor with a thud.
referee?
No, I didn't blow it.
After all... Su Yan's pure strength, the scene of knocking over opponents, has been played out too many times in the competition.
Even the referee knew that Su Yan was about to take a step-back three-pointer.
He steps back, draws the bow, and the arrow pierces the sky!
"Shh!"
Cold-blooded hit.
Let's get the team back on track!
"cut!"
Anthony snorted unhappily, his face turning ashen.
The team's offense is weak, but the defense is completely ineffective. This team leader is utterly pathetic!
Switch to offense.
His attack was once again blocked by Su Yan, and JR Smith once again rushed to the basket, secured the rebound, and scored on the second-chance opportunity.
The Nuggets scored on offense.
But... Anthony felt increasingly dissatisfied, increasingly useless, and increasingly humiliated.
1 minutes and 17 seconds later.
Su Yan first dunked the basketball over Stoudemire's head in his area of expertise on the offensive end.
On the defensive end.
Su Yan withstood the "Little Tyrant's" violent attacks from the outside, making it impossible for him to score.
I am unwilling.
He forced an attack, deliberately increasing the arc of his shot, and although it wasn't blocked, it went way off target.
As a result... the basketball that was lobbed out flew back to JR Smith, who then pulled up for a jump shot and scored.
hum~
Stoudemire instantly shared the same thought as Anthony.
He himself was of no use on both offense and defense, and had to rely on the breakout performances of role players to drag the team forward with difficulty.
This feels awful!
This feels really bad!!!
Both of them were on the verge of a mental breakdown.
Fortunately... Su Yan is very strong now, so strong that the idea of challenging for the title of "number one active player" is still in their minds.
That's what kept them from losing their last shred of reason.
The next Nuggets round.
For the sake of victory, Anthony avoided Su Yan despite his displeasure and faced George in the high post on the right side.
Three consecutive threats.
The inexperienced George was sent flying by the attack.
Anthony glanced at him with a hint of disdain, preparing to vent his displeasure on George.
After George flew away.
Anthony's textbook open jump shot was a shot he was guaranteed to make.
unless……
"boom!"
George, who took a second jump after landing, has maximized his triple talents of height, wingspan, and jumping ability.
He jumped back and caught up with the enemy at the maximum distance.
Behind Anthony, someone tapped the basketball as he released it, sending his shot flying!
"WTF?! This is a hat?"
Anthony's pupils dilated, his face filled with disbelief, and a surge of overwhelming anger burst forth from his body. "Su Yan is the newly crowned FMVP, the DPOY, and is poised to challenge for the title of the best active player."
I admit I was outmaneuvered.
Who is Paul George?
"A rookie, even after I faked him out, still managed to chase down and block my shot?! How does he even manage that?!"
George's brilliant defensive block was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely shattering Anthony's composure.
A basketball shot with a hat.
He flew into the paint, and Stoudemire pounced to steal the ball. George, who was diligently defending, had no idea that Anthony was up to something.
He rushed in to grab the basketball, but failed and then went up against Stoudemire.
"Bang bang bang!"
Despite enduring Stoudemire's violent attacks time and again, and being forced to retreat little by little, he did not lose his position.
He stretched out his long arms, covering Xiao Si the whole time.
"Humph!"
Stoudemire, squeezing into the penalty area, snorted coldly and once again, like a brute, shoved George aside with all his might.
He drove hard to the basket.
"drink!"
George didn't lose his position. He gritted his teeth and withstood the impact, shouting as he charged forward with all his might, his amazing long arms instantly covering the sky.
This caused a lot of defensive interference for Stoudemire, who was eager to attack.
With this attack... Stoudemire, under pressure, shot an airball, and Tyson caught the ball while standing under the basket.
"Huh~"
A chorus of sighs erupted in the stadium.
"shitbro!"
As Stoudemire watched the ball miss completely, feeling the boos echoing throughout the arena, his mind went blank.
He and Anthony share the same idea.
He genuinely acknowledged Su Yan's strength, which allowed him to accept the fact that he had been defeated by Su Yan; this was his last act of defiance.
But what about George?!
Who is he? How did he manage to keep "Little Tyrant" completely out of the game in one attack?!
Like the last snowflake before an avalanche, it completely destroyed Xiao Si's mentality.
The key moment... during the offensive transition, Curry looked at Su Yan, who was sprinting on the right side of the fast break, and tossed the basketball into the air above the left side of the basket.
George sprinted down the slope, soared into the air, caught the ball with one hand in mid-air, and slammed it down with a tomahawk dunk!
"boom!"
The stadium fell silent for a moment, then... a deafening roar of cheers and shouts echoed throughout the entire arena!
In the first half of the third quarter, JR Smith had a breakout performance.
In the latter part of the third quarter, George, in red-hot form, delivered a stellar performance on both offense and defense, repeatedly guarding Anthony and Stoudemire one-on-one, giving the home fans a huge surprise.
This completely shattered the mentality of Anthony and Stoudemire!
