As a Kobe hater, he was actually teammates with Kobe!

"Sir Charles, it's a little premature for you to say that."

"Even though the Lakers are leading by 15 points, there are still 10 minutes left in the game. I think Melo, who is in hot form tonight, may have a chance to lead the team to victory."

Kenny Smith spoke up.

At the same time, the Nuggets also requested a timeout.

The inside combination of Nene and Kenyon Martin was "tormented" by Zhou Ze. Under various confrontations and pulls, their physical strength was greatly depleted. The two returned to the bench, gasping for breath and almost sticking out their tongues.

"Boss, I want to try it," said Anthony.

George Karl shook his head and said, "Carmelo, I think you should know that Zhou is not only 208cm tall, has a 231cm wingspan, and weighs 131kg, but his strength even exceeds that of Shaq in his prime."

When George Karl heard that Anthony wanted to defend Zhou Ze, he decisively shook his head and refused.

"Let me try." Anthony's firm voice sounded again: "I will limit his receiving the ball in the low post by going around and helping defense."

George Karl was silent for two seconds, looked around, and found that except for Anthony, the backbones of all the Nuggets players had been broken by the Lakers.

Instead of waiting for death, it is better to give it a try.

After the pause.

Anthony actively participated in the defense of Zhou Ze, and it was Old Fish who was in charge of the court. Old Fish's two consecutive high passes were blocked by Anthony.

The Nuggets also took the opportunity to initiate an offensive and defensive transition.

For the first time, Jr. Smith hit a three-pointer.

The second time, it was Jr. Smith again. He took one step into the free throw line and jumped up, looking like he wanted to show off something big, but Zhou Ze caught up with him from behind. With a "bang", he directly shot a chase-down block.

The Lakers attacked, and Anthony wanted to defend in front. However, this time, Fish passed the ball to Kobe on the weak side of the offense. After receiving the ball, Kobe ducked, accelerated, and rushed to the basket, scoring a layup.

“Eh…”

"Denver just started to gain momentum, but the Lakers quickly snuffed it out. They really didn't give their opponent any chance at all."

Anthony's scoring performance continued. After roaming without the ball, he received a pass from Billups and made a top shot facing Odom's defense that was almost sticking to his face.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

The fans at the Denver home court continued to cheer for Anthony.

Anthony, who felt the support of the fans, did not rush to celebrate, but quickly returned to defense; the Lakers wanted to make a fast break, Kobe accelerated through the frontcourt with the ball, and "whoosh!", an alley-oop connection was immediately made between the two.

"Boom!" The basket instantly made a buzzing sound after Zhou Ze dunked it.

The scores of both sides continued to rise.

108 to 92, with 3 minutes left in the game, the Lakers were still leading their opponents by 16 points.

Although the Nuggets still have hope of a comeback, the overall situation is basically decided.

Anthony, who finally reached the Western Conference Finals, did not want to give up and was still struggling, even defending Zhou Ze in the low post.

Anthony held his breath and put all his strength into defending Zhou Ze's back-to-the-basket attack. Although he failed to hinder Zhou Ze's advancement, he still committed the final foul, forcing Zhou Ze to make 2 of 1 free throws.

117 to 105, Anthony narrowed the game difference to 12 points with an ultra-long three-pointer; however, there were only 19 seconds left in the game.

19 seconds, a 12-point gap, even if Zhou Ze and McGrady came, it would be impossible to do it.

“Oh…”

"Tonight, Carmelo Anthony showed his ability to play both offense and defense to NBA fans around the world."

"So far, Carmelo Anthony has scored a career-high 57 points in the playoffs."

"But unfortunately, the final victory still belongs to the Lakers."

Kenny Smith couldn't help but sigh.

面对湖人的铁桶阵，安东尼破天荒的拿到了57分，外加5篮板4助攻3抢断2盖帽。

"After tonight, Cameron can go fishing with his buddies at the beach," Barkley grinned.

Ah!

That's right.

Another matchup in the conference finals, Cavaliers vs. Celtics.

Like the Lakers, the Cavaliers swept their opponents in the first two rounds to advance, but were swept out 4-1 by the Celtics, who had four giants.

This is the second time the Cavaliers have been eliminated by the Celtics. It's worth mentioning that after eliminating James, Garnett whispered to him again: "Dude, don't let loyalty get you down!"

······

on the other hand.

At the home court of the Denver Nuggets, league officials are awarding the Western Conference championship trophy to the Los Angeles Lakers.

"beat-la!"

"beat-la!"

"beat-la!"

All the Nuggets fans in the stadium shouted to beat the Lakers.

This is not referring to the already eliminated Nuggets, but to the Lakers' opponent in the finals - the Boston Celtics.

The Lakers, who are about to complete their three consecutive championships, have become the league's villains.

本场比赛的MVP，最佳球员给到了拿到“44分30篮板5助攻4抢断3盖帽”的周泽。

40+30!

Another data from ancient times.

"Melo!" Zhou Ze looked at Carmelo Anthony walking towards him and opened his arms with a smile.

There is a little bitterness in the corner of the melon's mouth.

After the game, he was extremely exhausted. After all, entering the zone state consumed a huge amount of his physical strength.

Anthony now doesn't even have the strength to unscrew the bottle cap.

"Why are you so sad?" Zhou Ze said with a smile.

Anthony laughed in silence and just rolled his eyes at Zhou Ze.

"Melo's loss to me doesn't mean failure." Zhou Ze said seriously.

"Ah!?" Anthony looked at Zhou Ze in surprise.

"Yeah. Think about Karl Malone, Charles Barkley, Patrick Ewing, Gary Payton, and so on."

"They're all Hall of Fame players. Who on the outside would say they failed?"

Zhou Ze comforted Anthony with earnest words.

Anthony was speechless for a moment.

What he said is not without reason.

only···

How the hell are you comforting anyone?

It's obviously just self-praise.

"But seriously, Melo, your defense has improved a lot now." Zhou Ze said very objectively and fairly.

Anthony was delighted, but then said sadly, "Even so, it's hard to change the outside world's perception of my poor defense..."

"You know what? Prejudice in people's hearts is an insurmountable mountain..."

Zhou Ze smiled and said casually, "Then just turn it over... Oh, what's the big deal?"

"Ah!" Anthony was startled again, then laughed: "Hahaha, turn over... OK, OK..."
