As soon as the jump ball began, the Spurs players began to shrink towards their own baskets. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Popovich didn't have any hope for Split's jump shot, and instead of sitting there stupidly waiting for defeat, it was better to shrink early to prevent the Trail Blazers from making a surprise.

Anjie won basketball for the Trail Blazers, but when Lillard was about to sprint with the ball, he realized that the Spurs' defense was no longer porous.

"Take your time, Damien, take your time. Angel yelled at Lillard and ran toward the frontcourt. The Spurs are an extremely cautious team, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to hit the opponent in an assault way.

Lillard gestured slowly, and the rest of the Trail Blazers ran aggressively. The first collision between ice and fire, everyone's eyes widened, waiting for a good show in Cairo.

An Jie, who had already released cruel words, didn't think about it, and immediately went to sit in the penalty area. Now that Aldridge has space for herself, Angel can comfortably play with Split on the inside without worrying about Duncan's bag.

Seeing this, Popovich immediately stood up from the bench. Although the game has just begun, An Jie's strong desire to attack still makes this wise white-haired old man feel a little nervous.

Split is 2.11 meters tall and weighs 111 kilograms. The Brazilian has the standard center build, and although his individual ability is not outstanding, this guy's contribution to defense is an indispensable part of the Spurs.

Popovich is now curious to see how big the gap between Split's defense and Anjie's offense will be when going one-on-one in the low post. After all, after the regular season, Split has improved a lot compared to the last time he played against Anjie.

Anjie used his back to block Split behind him, and then raised his long arm to ask Lillard for the ball.

Duncan had planned to cruise around An Jie, waiting for an opportunity to steal. But Aldridge ran in the opposite direction. Duncan had to give up the idea.

The one-on-one situation on the inside quickly formed, but An Jie was not as easy as he appeared on the surface.

The pressure that Split put on An Jie behind him greatly exceeded An Jie's expectations! This Brazilian must have spent a lot of time in the power room, otherwise his strength would not have improved so obviously!

Although it was not easy for Split to give An Jie a key position, this level of obstruction still could not make An Jie waver.

This guy is like the soles of his feet are rooted in the ground, no matter how hard Split tries, An Jie is unmoved.

Split did spend a lot of time in the strength room under the guidance of Popovich, but how could Split surpass the good foundation accumulated by Anjie after so many years of training?

Lillard hoisted the ball over Parker's head, and Angel spread his fingers and grabbed the ball steadily. This time, Split didn't dare to continue to push An Jie out. If he continues to push, An Jie only needs one turn to easily pass his center of gravity forward.

Split took a deep breath and stood firm on the soles of his feet, ready to take the impact!

"Steady, steady!" Popovich shouted from the sidelines, signaling his players not to rush into the trap.

An Jie held the ball with his back and looked at it, and there were no people around him. So he lowered his center of gravity and began to dribble, ready to push forward with a back slash!

"Gotta hold on, Thiago, hold on!" Popovich said in his mouth, if Split can really withstand Anjie's onslaught, then this series will be a lot easier for the Spurs.

Don't forget, during the regular season, Split made Griffin, Howard, Jefferson, Randolph and other stars very uncomfortable. Maybe, this guy's solid defense can also limit An Jie?

"Bang!" Giardina, who was sitting behind the Trail Blazers bench, covered his mouth, and the sound of the impact made the audience hear it so clearly, God knows what a strong impact the two big guys who were fighting on the court received!

Split took a big step back unexpectedly, and Popovich frowned, Anjie's strength has reached this point?

An Jie did not give Split a chance to breathe, and in the noisy sound of the scene, An Jie exerted his strength for the second time in a row. Split still bravely accepted all the shocks from Anjie, but the huge gap in strength and strength between the two sides made Split have to retreat again!

Seeing that he had stepped into the three-second zone, An Jie did not hesitate, and turned around to hook his hand with his left hand.

Split didn't jump, he just took a small step forward with his hands in the air. Don't look at this step, Split's move forward invisibly increased the area of physical contact with An Jie, which made An Jie very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, it is just the beginning of the game, An Jie has the physical strength to withstand any physical confrontation, coupled with his particularly soft touch in the NCAA period, the basketball is still hollow into the net under the guidance of An Jie, and Split's defense in the first round ended in failure.

"Thiago Split is very smart defensively and he has a very good nose for positioning. He was always able to find the point where the other person was uncomfortable, and then turn into an insurmountable wall at that point. It's a pity that the Brazilian is not facing anyone else today, but the regular season MVP of the season! We can't say that Split's defense is not good, we can only say that Ann's offense is too strong. "Bill Wharton, as the first person in the history of the Trail Blazers to win the MVP award, has a very high opinion of Anjie. He rarely commented on Trail Blazers games because he was afraid that he wouldn't be neutral against the Trail Blazers.

But now, Bill Wharton doesn't have to worry about his career toward the Trail Blazers. Because the pioneers led by An Jie are indeed worthy of all the praise.

After the goal, Anjie high-fived Lillard, who assisted him to complete the score, and quickly retreated. In front of him, Tony Parker had already controlled the ball. Although the Spurs don't play at a fast pace, they are still able to give a lot of pressure.

Split didn't get into the box to tangl with Anjie, but instead made a pick-and-roll for Tony Parker from the outside.

Split's pick-and-roll, which is one of the reasons why the Brazilian was able to establish himself at Spurs. During the regular season, Split finished third in the league behind Anjie and Marc Gasol in a pick-and-roll success rate. Whether it's the block or the unpacking, Split has shown his solid fundamentals.

Tony Parker managed to break through, and this guy's instantaneous acceleration was still so exaggerated. Anjie had just seen Lillard blocked, and the next second, Parker rushed in front of him.

An Jie immediately pressed up, the throwing of the French sports car was a must, and An Jie didn't plan to give him too much room to shoot.

Parker is naturally not stupid enough to challenge An Jie's authority, this is your territory, yes, I will not intrude. But that doesn't mean the rest of the Spurs will think the same way as Parker.

Just as Parker was about to collide with Anjie, the Frenchman suddenly flicked his wrist and sent the ball out. An Jie felt a gust of wind pass behind him, someone must have slipped the bottom line and cut into the basket from behind!

An Jie hurriedly turned around to prepare for the block, but when he turned around, the Spurs players in black jerseys had already risen from the ground. If An Jie jumps rashly at this distance, he will only give the opponent a chance to hit three points.

The black jersey has a large number "21" written on the back, and on the number, the player's name, "Duncan".

Duncan slammed the buckle, and Anjie could clearly see that the NBA's sturdy basketball hoops were trembling with it.

"Wow, oh my God! Young LaMarcus couldn't stop Duncan's inward cut! Is this guy really 36 years old!" Bill Wharton hadn't recovered from Anjie's beautiful attack when he was startled by Duncan's shocking slam.

Duncan's clever movement and the tacit cooperation between him and Parker made Aldridge very difficult to face this "old man".

Indeed, perhaps Duncan is not as fast and agile as Aldridge. But this cunning guy can always use other factors to make up for his shortcomings.

After the goal, Duncan didn't say anything, still putting on his poker face. An Jie smiled, this guy is really exactly the same as when he first met him five years ago!

Both sides scored a goal each after the opening kick-off, which made fans all over the world particularly excited. The game was so good at the beginning, and sure enough, it didn't disappoint people.

Subsequently, the intensity of the competition remained high. The Spurs and Trail Blazers scored frequently, and the scene became abnormal for a while.

It is not because the game was ugly that the game was not normal. On the contrary, it is precisely because the game was so good that people feel that something is not normal.

The offense was played beautifully, which was certainly worthy of cheering from the fans, but the original tenacious defense of the Trail Blazers and Spurs was gone.

In the face of waves of beautiful attacks, the fans were very happy to watch, but the two coaches, Ricard and Popovich, had a bitter face.

"Hey, what the is this defense!" Riccard turned to Divac and complained after Danny Green had another open shot.

"The atmosphere before this game was so frenetic, a little too frenetic. The enthusiastic players are also crazy, who still thinks about defense. Or call a timeout?" Divac proposed.

"There's going to be a timeout, and if you don't make any adjustments, these guys are going to forget what defense is!" Ricard walked to the sidelines and asked the referee for a timeout.

Meanwhile, on the bench on the Spurs' side, Popovich also told the players to hurry down. Even if Rickard doesn't call now, he will immediately call a timeout when Spurs have the ball.

Although the qualifications of these two coaches are different, the difference in background is also huge. But now, their minds are all on the same point.

"Ann! You and LaMarcus switch guards. I don't want to see Duncan with the ball in his hands again!" Rickard tapped the board.

"Strengthen the defense and divide half of your enthusiasm on the offensive end into defense! The Trail Blazers are scoring so easily, we can't wait to feed the opponent's touch before reacting!" Popovich clenched his right hand into a fist and said in a very tough tone.

Halfway through the first quarter, both sides vented their excitement.

But the most difficult moment of the game is also about to get on the right track from now on!

Another confrontation between Anjie and Duncan, the battle between the two MVPs, will create different sparks every time......
