    On October 10, after five days of training, the Nuggets flew to Phoenix to begin the 2003-2004 preseason. Their first opponent was the Suns.

    Anthony's deepest understanding of the Suns is naturally "Son of the Wind" Nash, but at this time Nash was still with the Mavericks, forming a troika with Nowitzki and Finley. At this time, the Suns could also be said to be starting.  At this stage, the core of the team is Marbury, Marion and last year's best rookie Stoudemire.

    The head coach of the Suns is Frank Johnson. This coach only took office in January last year, but he led the team to the playoffs last season. Although it stopped in the first round, the fast basketball style he promoted is very suitable for the Suns.  lineup, which is also the reason for his success.

    Although Anthony doesn't know Frank Johnson, he is very familiar with D'Antoni sitting on the sidelines at this time. This person can be said to be the originator of bombardment, but he is still an assistant coach at this time. From this, we can also see the Suns'  style of play.

    The Suns' home court is at the American West Arena, which can accommodate more than 19,000 people. The NBA in 2003 has already had a certain influence. Although it is not the number one player in the United States, the fan base is still solid.  In an ordinary preseason game, nearly one-third of the people watching the game.

    The two teams started pre-match warm-ups. Boykins of the Nuggets did not travel with the team because of diarrhea. However, because it was a preseason game, the players were not affected much.

    Anthony tried his best to move as much as possible during the warm-up. This was his first real game. Although it was only a preseason game, he still couldn't suppress the nervousness in his heart in front of more than 6,000 people watching the game.  .

    "Beep!"

    After a while, the whistle sounded on the sidelines, the warm-up time was up, and the game was about to begin.

    The Nuggets have lined up a starting lineup of Miller, Leonard, Anthony, Nene and Camby.

    For the Suns, the starting five are Marbury, Casey Jacobson, Marion, Stoudemire and Jack Voskul.

    After playing, Anthony glanced at the Suns bench inadvertently, and suddenly found Joe Johnson and Leandro Barbosa sitting firmly there. He was really surprised. Joe Johnson is known as "Contemporary Jordan"  ", All-Star level, and the "Brazilian Lightning" Barbosai, plus Marbury, Marion and Stoudemire, this lineup is extremely luxurious.

    But when he thought about it carefully, he smiled at his backward thinking. Now Johnson can only be considered a qualified starter, Barbosa is only a rookie, and Marion has only played for four or five years.  , Stoudemire is even a sophomore. Before Nash, these people could only be regarded as ordinary players.

    The referee blew the whistle to start the game, Camby and Stoudemire jumped the ball.

    Camby used his height advantage to shoot the ball into Miller's hands, and Anthony's first NBA preseason game officially started!

    Originally there were no commentators in NBA preseason games, but I don¡¯t know if it was because of Anthony or some other unknown reason. For this game, EPSN sent two famous commentators: "Famous Mouthpiece" Charles Barker  Leigh and his partner Kenny Smith.

    Seeing that the Nuggets got the ball, Barkley couldn't help but chattered: "Hey, Kenny, you see Melo has started running. When do you think he will get the first point in the NBA?"

    "Oh, Charles, you're here again, do you still want to bet that you can't kiss a donkey's butt?" Smith joked.

    When Yao Ming first entered the league last year, Barkley bet Smith on a talk show that if Yao Ming scored 19 points, he would kiss Smith's butt. As a result, Yao Ming scored 20 points in "Yao Shark Battle"  , Buckley fulfilled the bet, but because Smith was unwilling to expose his butt in public, Buckley ended up kissing the donkey's butt in public.

    "Oh no" Barkley pouted and glanced at Smith with a sideways look, "If it's your butt, I can consider it"

    The two people in the commentary box were at each other's throats, and the game on the field had already begun.

    After Camby gave the ball to Miller, he controlled the ball and pushed forward. Before the game, coach Bzdelik had told him to start with a positional battle when facing the Suns, so after the whole team was in position, he would not  He controls the ball slowly and looks for opportunities on the outside.

    After Anthony was positioned, he wandered at the free throw line for a while, glanced at Miller who was controlling the ball on the outside, and suddenly accelerated towards the baseline.

    Opposite Anthony is Marion. This future star has heard of Anthony¡¯s name for a long time. Even though the opponent is a rookie, he does not dare to take it lightly.??Anthony ran toward the baseline, and he hurried to follow.

    When Anthony reached the bottom line and saw that Nene was ready, he accelerated and ran past him.

    This is a tactic I used in training. I passed inside and let Anthony pass. Then I took a breath and sank, and hit Marion from behind.

    With a "bang", Marion seemed to have hit a wall and could only watch Anthony run outside the three-point line.

    Stoudemire was originally facing off against Nene. When he saw Marion being blocked, he rushed out to cover Anthony.

    As soon as Anthony reached the three-point line, Miller's pass arrived. He didn't hesitate for a second after receiving the ball. He stepped on the three-point line and hit a three-pointer.

    Stoudemire's reaction was fast enough, but his movement speed was still much slower than Anthony's. By the time he took off, Anthony had already finished shooting.

    "Whoops!"

    With a crisp sound, Anthony opened his hand and hit the first NBA goal, and it was a three-pointer.

    Stoudemire was so angry that his teeth were itching, and Marion also looked frustrated. Anthony was too fast!

    Barkley and Smith were joking. Seeing Anthony score so quickly, he slapped his chest hard with a frightened expression on his face, and said with a sinister smile: "Smith, fortunately I didn't make a bet, your butt is temporarily  It¡¯s safe¡­¡±

    Anthony hit a three-pointer, and the Nuggets players were very excited, but at this moment, Jacobson served the ball out of bounds, and Marbury controlled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and ran straight towards the basket with great speed.  go.

    Miller¡¯s eyes were on Anthony, and when he came to his senses, he was already a step too late, and could only watch Marbury score a layup.

    "Stephen! Stephen!"

    The home stadium emitted bursts of excited shouts. Obviously Marbury is very popular here.

    "People! People! Look at people!" Bzdelik on the sidelines shouted anxiously, "Don't let them run! Follow people!"

    Miller shook his head in frustration and ran toward the backcourt angrily.

    After all, Miller has been playing in the league for many years. Although he missed a goal, his mentality quickly adjusted. He controlled the ball and advanced steadily through the half.

    With the same tactic, Marion was still blocked by Nene, but this time Stoudemire had followed Anthony closely, and when the ball reached Anthony's hands, he had no chance to shoot.

    Anthony took the ball and took a step, observed the situation, and saw that Marion had been replaced inside the basket. With a thought, he immediately hit the ground and passed the ball. The ball passed under Stoudemire's armpit.  It passed through and was firmly in Nene's hands.

    "Oh, my God, did I see it wrong just now? Melo was passing the ball? He was out of position and didn't hit Stoudemire in isolation?" Barkley had an exaggerated expression on his face.

    "It seems that Melo has done a lot of work this summer. His judgment is very accurate. Nene is 2.11 meters tall and Sean is only 2.01 meters tall. There is a full 10 centimeters difference between the two." Smith said with appreciation.

    After Nene received the ball, he glanced back at Marion. When he saw Marion, who was half a head shorter, a disdainful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He leaned back and pulled up to dunk.

    Anthony looked at Nene's movements and screamed inwardly that it was bad. He yelled "Be careful" and stepped forward to pounce on him. However, Stoudemire squeezed him when he saw him move. With his huge body, he couldn't escape at all for a while.  No.

    Nene took a breath and was about to pull out for a dunk. The moment he stood up, he suddenly felt a light touch on his hand. Then he heard Anthony's warning voice. He turned around and saw that Marion had raised his hand and had broken it.  The ball was thrown to Marbury on the fast break.

    Seeing Marion steal the ball, Miller felt nervous, but this time he followed Marbury closely, and the two ran almost side by side to the backcourt.

    Seeing that Marbury was about to reach the basket, Miller did not jump up, but used his body to squeeze Marbury, preventing him from getting a comfortable layup.

    Miller¡¯s body is very strong, and Marbury was directly squeezed away from the basket by him, so he would most likely miss a forced layup.

    Marbury took a step forward with the ball.

    Miller was relieved when he saw Marbury give up the layup.

    But at this moment, Marbury suddenly pushed the ball back. Miller looked out and his expression suddenly changed.

    "boom!"

    Marion, who was following closely, received Marbury's pass, took a long stride and launched a powerful slam dunk. Miller near the rim suddenly became the background.

    Marion¡¯s slam dunk instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the fans at the American West Arena, and the fans let out bursts of excited shouts.

    "Oh! Poor Andre, he didn't even react!" Buckley said with a big mouth and gloated.

    "He has tried his best. The important thing is that Sean's fast break awareness and fast break speed are too fast. Nene, who is misplaced in defense, can't outrun him." Smith also analyzed.

    "It seems that the Nuggets are in trouble. If they fall into the Suns' offensive mode, they will appear very passive." Barkley also said with a smile. As a former Suns player, he will naturally have a gang mentality.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)3:4
