Chapter 264, The situation is changing, and the momentum is reversed!
Barkley said: "The two sides played very fiercely in the first half, but the confrontation was not too strong."
Smith said: "The offensive rhythm of both teams is very fast. The Bulls controlled the situation, and the Nuggets at home looked a little bit overwhelmed."
As Kenny Smith said, the Nuggets don't seem to be playing to their strengths.
The advantage of the Nuggets lies in the athletic talent of all their members. If they speed up, the Bulls' insiders will definitely not be able to return, but they did not make this kind of switch, but took the initiative to compete with the Bulls.
Facts have proved that the Bulls' positional warfare in the first half was more powerful than theirs.
In the second half, the game changed sides and fought again!
Nuggets offense.
After Billups pick-and-roll, he gave Nene's free throw line mid-range and missed.
Zhou Hang got the rebound.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt without any entanglement, and directly called for a single.
Anthony's single defense.
Zhou Hang's continuous dribble changes to Anthony's right.
When Anthony thought that Zhou Hang was going to take a step back, Zhou Hang didn't retreat, but rushed in to drop the rhythm to collect the ball, and shot from the middle distance of the free throw line! !
"Shhh!!"
67 is better than 59
Zhou Hang made a steady two-pointer.
Nuggets offense.
Nene made a turnover when serving to Billups.
Rose suddenly oppressed Billups, and Nene's serving hand trembled, and the serve was a little high.
Zhou Hang rushed over to get the ball.
Such a change caught the Nuggets off guard.
Zhou Hangyun had a gap in the interior in one step, and hit a two-pointer at a 45-degree diagonal position.
"boom!"
"Shh!"
69:59.
Zhou Hang came up and hit two-pointers in a row to open the difference between the two sides to double digits.
George Karl couldn't bear it anymore and immediately called to stop the game.
Fans at the Denver Pepsi Center Arena can also feel that the situation on the court is not good.
Zhou Hang was too accurate, he came up with a combo.
The camera kept capturing images of Anthony.
The fans also started calling for Anthony, and the fans hope that Anthony can respond to Zhou Hang.
There is no doubt about Zhou Hang's scoring ability. As long as he is given a chance, he will easily score the ball. Now if the Nuggets have no one to respond to Zhou Hang, then this game is likely to be over.
Zhang Weiping said: "In less than a minute from the start of the third quarter, the Bulls opened up the point difference to double digits. This is obviously not the situation George Karl wants to see."
Xu Jicheng said: "Let's see if Anthony can respond to Zhou Hang."
George Karl's face on the sidelines was very ugly. He tolerated Zhou Hang's ability to score the first goal, but it was a bit too much to miss the second goal.
George Karl lost his temper directly at everyone: "If anyone doesn't want to play, just say so, and I will arrange for the players who want to play to play."
The Nuggets players were silent.
They were just a little inattentive, and they couldn't say they didn't want to fight. If they go to anger George Karl now, who knows what will happen in the future?
Seeing that no one responded, George Karl said, "I hope that everyone's defensive steps will be faster. Chauncey and Cameron, you two should take the lead, pinch Zhou, and let others attack."
"OK!"
"it is good!!"
The Nuggets raised their breath up and down.
Pause back.
Billups controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Anthony used his teammates to run on one side.
This timeout really made the Nuggets move faster up and down, and everyone became more active.
Luol Deng is still defending Anthony, and Zhou Hang is putting pressure on Kleiza's defense.
Billups did not give the ball to Anthony, but first to Martin inside.
Martin held the ball on the right side of the free throw line and did not attack by himself, but waited for Anthony to come over.
Anthony came over and received a hand-off pass from Martin, and Martin helped Anthony block Luol Deng.
Hibbert was a little slower, and Anthony immediately made a jumper after receiving the ball.
The basketball draws a wonderful arc!
"Shh!"
69:61.
Anthony responded to Zhou Hang's attack, and the fans cheered again.
Bulls attack.
After Rose brought the ball to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Zhou Hang.
The Nuggets' defensive strength seemed to be encouraged by Anthony's goal, and everyone's footsteps were more active than when they first came up.
Billups also immediately came to flank Zhou Hang with Anthony.
Zhou Hang gave the ball to Rose at the top of the arc.
Rose made a three-pointer.
Rose didn't hesitate, and directly shot a three-pointer! !
Rose is shooting just 22 percent from [-]-point range this season, which is abysmal.
The result, of course, is, "Box!!"
Rose made a solid shot.
Nene protects the rebound.
Nene gives the ball to Billups.
As soon as Billups came over, he crossed the ball to Anthony.
Anthony took a tentative step to catch the ball, and Luol Deng opened his hands and leaned over.
Anthony chose to directly face Luol Deng's attack!
Luol Deng did not lose position, but this ball!
"Shh!"
69:64.
The Nuggets are chasing points very quickly, and the scene is on the rise again.
This goal also caused a fundamental reversal of the momentum of the two teams.
Anthony's consecutive successes have improved the Nuggets' defensive strength. When Zhou Hang encountered a pincer attack, his teammates didn't feel good.
Then on the Nuggets side, in addition to Anthony, others also stood up and scored one after another.
The Bulls' defensive strength has dropped a little compared to the first half of the game, and their physical exhaustion disadvantage after back-to-backs is reflected.
Zhou Hang tried to attack to help the team, but the effect of this was not obvious.
De Nagro also kept calling out timeouts for personnel adjustments, but it didn't work.
The offense of the Nuggets team is open.
After three quarters, it became 83 to 90.
The Nuggets went from trailing by 6 points to leading by 7 points, and they beat the Bulls by 13 points in a single quarter.
The strong team attributes of the Nuggets are shown in this section.
The big difference between a strong team and a weak team is their tenacity. Even if the situation is passive, they can reverse the situation by adjusting their rhythm and intensity.
Then the Bulls as a whole were a little weak in the third quarter, and their influence back to back was still great.
Zhang Weiping also said: "The Bulls need to adapt now, and their rookies also need more game experience. In the third quarter, the Bulls once led by 10 points and controlled a good situation, but the current situation has been completely reversed."
Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, the Bulls need to complete the adjustment as soon as possible."
Zhang Weiping said: "De Nagro wants to get the whole team involved in the game as soon as possible. Of course, Zhou Hang also needs to stand up."
Xu Jicheng said: "In times of adversity, it's up to Zhou Hang!"
Break between festivals.
The momentum of the Bulls was a little sluggish, and it was an unexpected result for them to be overtaken like this.
Too many ball handling turnovers among them, everyone is making mistakes.
Zhou Hang and Ross were also out of breath.
Zhou Hang also failed to defend Anthony in the third quarter. Many times his defense was in place, but Anthony still made the ball.
These balls are very damaging to the morale of the Bulls.
