Chapter 286 Anderson Desiring to Make a Comeback
Miller's defense is very good, and Davis knew that the ball would definitely not be scored the moment he saw Anderson's shot.
He can only yell for rebounds, hoping that the inside can be stronger.
When it comes to rebounding, you can always trust Dennis Rodman,
I saw Rodman jumping up at a rocket-like speed among a crowd of tall people, and accurately jumped to the rebound's landing point. He roughly received the offensive rebound in his arms above the heads of Schmitz and Dale Davis, two big insiders with a height of more than [-] meters.
But Rodman grabbed the offensive rebound, but there was no chance for a second attack.
Schmitz and Dale Davis have pinched Rodman tightly, and he has no room for a second attack.
At this time, DeWeese's shout appeared outside the encirclement.
"Dennis, this way.",
Rodman heard DeWeese and rolled the ball between Dale Davis' feet.
Yes, rolled out along the floor.
Davis managed to get the ball off Rodman.
At the same time, the two insiders of the Pacers also gave up their defense against Rodman and turned to face Davis to prevent him from directly attacking the frame.
Unhurriedly dribbling the ball out of the three-second zone, Davis ran to the top of the arc and reorganized the offense.
Anderson came out of the baseline without a sound, and stretched out his hands, motioning for Davis to give him the ball.
Looking at Anderson, then at Miller who was following Anderson, Davis didn't say anything.
Seeing that Davis had no intention of passing the ball, Anderson had no choice but to take Miller to the other side.
Davis faced Blackman who was defending him and decided to play the ball himself.
He crossed the ball back and forth, and Blackman watched DeWeese nervously.
Davis easily used a step to pull away half of the body.
His current ability value has reached 97, and the six-point full ability value has greatly increased his strength.
The reason why he can maintain the situation on the court with his own strength when O'Neal is off the court is that these improved ability values are very critical.
DiWeese is very sure of many difficult goals that he was not sure of scoring before.
Blackman looked back in embarrassment to block Davis' breakthrough, but he didn't expect that after Davis pulled away, he stopped suddenly.
Just like the gravity of the earth would not work on him at all, Davis pulled the ball sharply, and pulled the ball back abruptly.
"Don't even think about it!" Blackman forcibly adjusted his center of gravity, barely blocking Davis.
In the next second, facing Davis' face again, Blackman sat down on the ground without doing anything.
Davis looked at Blackman, who was sitting on the ground in front of him, and unhurriedly joined the ball. He even had time to check whether he stepped on the line, and then he unhurriedly shot.
The three-pointer was hit steadily, and the point difference was narrowed to 5 points, a gap that could be overtaken at any time.
But after scoring such a beautiful goal, Davis did not get excited, he glanced at Anderson with complicated eyes.
Anderson is also the last year this year. As a player who entered the league in 90, he has only worked hard in the league for five years.
At the beginning, the Magic trained him and Scott as the core of the team. In the second year of entering the league, Anderson averaged 14.4 points per game. In the year before O'Neal entered the league, his data even reached 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.7 assists.
In the first year of O'Neal's arrival, although the core of offense has become O'Neal, Anderson is still the best helper around O'Neal and the second scoring point of the Magic.
But that year, he was seriously injured, and since then, his performance has gone from bad to worse.
This season, he averaged only 12 points per game, which was his worst performance since his rookie season.
This is also due to the fact that DeWeese and O'Neal have shared a lot of ball rights, but his own decline in strength is also a very objective factor.
In this case, there were only him and Sprewell in the team's No. 2 position, and Sprewell was more vacillating, and the remaining substitute Baker had little effect on his position.
But Clay's arrival obviously gave him a sense of writing crisis.
What Davis didn't know was that yesterday, Anderson dismissed Clay's arrival, but today Clay's performance in just a few minutes after he came on the court made his sense of crisis greatly increased.
And now, DeWeese is caught in a dilemma.
Do you want to keep feeding Anderson the ball?
After all, they are also teammates for two years, and the relationship is very deep.
In such an inconsequential game, it's not a big deal to feed Anderson some extra balls and give him some stats.
However, the problem now is that sitting off the court is Klay Thompson.
In the end, Davis looked apologetically at Clay, who was sitting calmly off the court.
He decided to give Anderson another chance.
After all, he is also a hero who has sweated and worked hard for DG.
Anderson looked at his hands helplessly. He had made 7 of 1 shots in this game, and he saw DeWeese's eyes.
"Michael seems a little upset."
To his surprise.
"Huh?" Anderson saw the ball in his hand and looked at Davis with some puzzlement.
He thought Davis had given himself up.
Looking at the encouraging eyes of Davis, he looked at Reggie Miller in front of him, and the originally somewhat disordered breath gradually calmed down.
He turned to lean on Miller, raised his hands and waited for his teammates to pull the defender away.
Then he sank down and began to push in step by step.
It wasn't until the attack time was about to come that Anderson took a deep breath, turned around suddenly, stepped back and threw the ball.
Miller's interference was resolutely ignored by Anderson, and the ball he threw barely touched Miller's fingertips.
Seeing that the ball finally fell into the basket, many members of the Magic team, including Davis, breathed a sigh of relief.
However, the next three balls seemed to be blatantly mocking the Magic.
Anderson missed three consecutive goals.
And the Pacers' touch today is really ridiculously good. They attacked three times in a row and ran out of opportunities through patient running, and all three opportunities were seized by the Pacers.
So it was just narrowed to a three-point difference, and it returned to 9 points in an instant.
D'Antoni crossed his hips and watched Anderson hit Schmitz in a misplaced position on the field. In the end, he was chased into the penalty area by the latter, and abruptly pressed Anderson's shot on the backboard.
He shook his head and said to Donovan, "Nick's mentality is wrong."
Throughout the third quarter, Anderson got 10 shots, but only got 2 goals and 4 free throws.
At the end of the third quarter, the Magic's originally good situation became a full 15 points behind.
