The Rockets' big lead sent the Rockets fans at the scene into wild shouts.

As soon as the Rockets came out in the second half, waves of red set off one after another in the arena.

The name of the Rockets starter was shouted by the fans over and over again.

Among them, the names of Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady were mentioned the most.

Anthony took the field with all the Nuggets starters who can shoot 3-pointers, except for Jones.

Wang Jiexi saw that the Nuggets were in the starting lineup and continued to keep Yao Ming on the court.

Plan to take away the Nuggets in one wave.

At the same time, Yao Ming was asked to bring four "guards with swords" namely Battier, Lowry, Barry and Hayes.

At the beginning of the game, Anthony rarely cheered up his teammates.

"Don't be discouraged. There are still two quarters to play. 20 points is not much. We will definitely get it back."

Then Anthony simply ignored the temporary assistant coach and began to arrange how to play on the field.

In the footage, Anthony looks a bit like "Guide An".

"JR, you go guard Battier and don't let him shoot 3-pointers. I'll guard Barry."

Battier was so damn accurate today. He even had to double-team Yao Ming, so he couldn't defend at all.

On the other hand, Barry, the Rockets' new substitute, has never scored a 3-pointer.

If you defend him yourself, you can double-team Yao Ming without any scruples.

After playing, Battier felt a little depressed.

He thought he could continue to score points in the second half, but he didn't expect that JR, who was full of energy, would guard him.

On the contrary, substitute Barry often had vacancies.

However, Anthony thought well, but the reality was cruel.

Yao Ming saw Barry's open position and immediately made a precise pass to Barry's hands.

Barry took off with a knife and hit a clean 3-pointer!

Like a sharp sword thrust into Anthony's chest, Anthony didn't expect Barry to hit a 3-pointer as soon as he came off the bench.

No feeling of stage fright at all.

Brent Barry is the dunk contest champion who is known as "White men can fly". He also has a good 3-point shot. He participated in the league's 3-point shot contest and almost won the championship.

With the addition of Yao Ming's singles tactics, the shooting rate of an open 3-pointer is simply not too high!

Then Barry hit two consecutive three-pointers, which directly stunned Anthony.

This also includes a piece of wool.

If you continue to double-team, the game will end early.

JR Smith hurried over and said: "Boss, let me double-team!"

Then, JR Smith was fouled by Yao Ming twice in a row within 3 minutes, one of which was 2+1!

Double-teaming Yao Ming made Jr. suffer a lot. Yao Ming scored 5 points in a row.

"What a ghost!"

Everyone on the Nuggets team was dejected and collapsed.

Even when Anthony scored consecutive breakthroughs alone, the point difference still did not narrow, but widened.

The score was 72 to 49, and the Rockets led by 23 points.

The assistant coach who was still on the court saw that everyone in the Nuggets team was in a bad mood and quickly called a timeout.

Wang Jiexi silently shouted a few pauses for the Nuggets.

After the timeout, JR Smith came off the court and was replaced by Jones, who was strong on defense.

When he came on the court, Jones originally wanted to guard Barry, but the Rockets also made a substitution.

Landry replaced Barry.

Battier moves to the point position and Hayes moves to the small forward position.

Then, everyone on the Nuggets team was bad.

Because the Rockets' tactics have changed again.

Hayes and Battier kept letting Jones use 3-pointers to double-team Anthony. Anthony suddenly felt the despair of being dominated in the first quarter of the first half!

This annoyed Anthony so much that he had already scored 2 goals in a row.

The Nuggets' guard Jones is strong on defense but weak on shooting, and is let go by Hayes or Battier every time.

And the defense felt a bit useless on the court because Battier and Hayes did not take the initiative to attack.

Even if the Rockets sometimes play pick-and-rolls and switch defenses, they are still outplayed by the 226-foot-tall Yao Ming.

The Nuggets assistant coach saw something was wrong and wanted to call a timeout, but just as he stood up, he sat back down.

It seems that the timeout was used up again in the second half. If he "stealed" a timeout like Jordan did, he would definitely be cheating on the referee, which would be both a loss and an embarrassment.

When Billups saw that the Nuggets were in complete chaos, he sighed and looked at the young head coach of the Rockets. He felt like a hero was dying and the new one was replacing the old one.

Judging from the laid-back Rockets head coach, he must have a back-up plan. Even if he calls a timeout, he will be unable to save the situation.

Moreover, people's hearts have been dispersed. Billups shook his head and accepted the result of failure.

At this moment when the Nuggets were lagging behind, everyone was thinking about themselves and no one was thinking about this team.

Anthony is still holding the ball and rushing forward.

The desperate struggle and the offensive without hesitation did score points, but they could not effectively help the team.

Efficiency is a very serious issue.

Wang Jiexi on the sidelines saw all this.

The Nuggets are actually not weak. It can be said that few teams that can make the playoffs are really weak.

The fundamental reason is that among the players, Anthony is not a good leader, and George Karl fell ill at the wrong time.

The head coach is not here. As the backbone of the team, Anthony is obviously learning Kobe's offense, constantly attacking, post-up play, pull-ups, fadeaway jumpers, turnaround layups, eighteen kinds of martial arts, and he is proficient in all of them. One person can turn over the ball.

Overwhelming mountains and seas.

Before the third quarter was over, Anthony scored a team-high 25 points!

However, it was of no use. The Rockets still led by 20 points.

Even if Battier and Hayes didn't score, they were following Wang Jiexi's tactics, constantly switching defenses and double-teaming Anthony.

And on the offensive end, Lowry on the outside would often pick-and-roll with Yao Ming and then go to Anthony to play.

Anthony has to guard even if he doesn't want to.

Wang Jiexi, who was sitting and watching the game, smiled. He was probably going to fall down from exhaustion after playing Anthony in the third quarter.

In the last minute of the third quarter, Anthony was finally too tired. While defending Lowry, his feet gave way and he knelt on Lowry's offensive line.

"Beep beep beep"

The referee called Anthony a defensive foul and Kyle Lowry made 2 free throws.

During the free throw, Anthony went to rest and was replaced by a substitute who didn't play much.

In the last minute, Yao Ming scored 4 points in consecutive singles.
Chapter completed!
