"Good shot! Go!" Seeing Gerard Wallace's successful steal, Catherine, like most of the fans at the scene, raised her arms excitedly. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info at this moment, she does not have any star shelf, nor is she as noble and glamorous as on the catwalk.

She didn't know why she did this, but the warm atmosphere and the performance of the Trail Blazers on the court made Catherine can't help but shout and wave her arms wildly with others.

An Jie naturally couldn't tell which one belonged to Catherine from the cheers of nearly 20,000 people at the scene, but he knew that the naughty girl must also be one of the cheers.

It was not only Catherine who was infected by the warm atmosphere, An Jie, who was fighting on the field, was naturally enthusiastic because of the cheers of the fans.

So this time in the attack, An Jie still fell directly to the low position. Once again, Filton passed the ball inside, but this time, the attentive Filton passed a high lob.

Sure enough, the Spurs' starting point guard, Danny Green, who was defending Wesley Matthews, missed a steal. Felton's pass for An Jie is very high, and only when he is close to An Jie's position, will it start to fall! And even if this ball falls, only a guy with a height and arm span like An Jie can catch it.

Danny Green is a team player who knows exactly what the word "team" means. But this time, his big-picture defense paid a price.

After Anjie received the ball, Danny Green had just landed. Green glanced at Anjie, and then immediately pounced on Wesley Matthews, because Anjie's eyes clearly wanted to pass the ball to Wesley Matthews, who was temporarily empty.

Danny Green is very active in defending, but he still can't run as fast as the ball. After winning the ball, Wesley Matthews made a false shot, and Danny Green jumped again. And this time, his jumping still brought him bad luck.

Matthews' shooting was just a fraud, and the breakthrough after deceiving Danny Green was what he really intended.

Matthews knows he's not too fast, and hitting the interior is not what he's best at. So he broke through a few steps, before the rest of the Spurs had time to make up for him. Matthews' footsteps suddenly stopped, and he jumped up and shot again, only this time, he really shot.

For a shooting guard who survives in the NBA, an unmarked shot from the mid-range position is a must-score!

Wesley Matthews, on the other hand, did his job well. A mid-to-long-range shot from the three-point line was accurately put into the basket by Wesley Matthews!

This is Ann's second assist of the game, but both assists were made in the low post. It's a far cry from the previous practice of getting catches from the mid-range while the rest of the Trail Blazers got catches through complicated pick-and-rolls off the ball. I feel like the Trail Blazers' offense seems to be simpler. ”

"Simpler doesn't mean it's easier to defend. Kenny Smith had just finished speaking when O'Neill picked up.

"Being able to turn a simple attack into an efficient attack is the hardest part. O'Neal put himself in his shoes and thought that even if he was in that situation, he wouldn't necessarily be able to complete the assist. That old guy Divac, who inadvertently created one of the most beinous centers in the NBA!

"The two balls just now were so-so, but they lacked some confusion. "And Divac, who watched the game at home in Europe, was able to find fault with the two seemingly perfect assists.

Parker patted Danny Green on the shoulder, signaling him not to take the loss of position to heart. Young players always need to be comforted, and their mentality will have a big impact on their performance.

After receiving the baseline ball from Duncan, Parker turned and advanced, but he was shocked to find that the Trail Blazers had completely established the defensive lineup, so you couldn't find a gap!

The current Trail Blazers may not be able to play a fast break easily, but they will save the opportunity to run and leave it for defense.

When Matthews scored, all the Trail Blazers players slammed back into their own half of the court in order to be able to get back to the defense quickly.

Parker, who is the best at seeing the seams, is unlikely to get any breakthrough space at all now, and it seems that a tough battle will become the main rhythm of tonight.

Still after a series of transmissions, the Spurs tore apart the Trail Blazers' defense with patient teamwork. But today, all the Spurs players on the court found that their offense seemed to be a lot more difficult.

In the first two games, Leonard had already managed to get rid of defensive breakthroughs. But today, when he gets rid of Gerard Wallace, there's always another Trail Blazers player in front of him.

"Hmm...... Quite bold. Popovich has now seen the strategy used by Ricard, and the joint defense can indeed effectively reduce the defensive blind spots caused by blocking delays. But again, in this way, the Spurs will get more shooting opportunities in the middle and long distance!

After some conduct, the ball finally hit Duncan. Duncan originally thought that An Jie would still defend the basket, but this time, An Jie desperately pounced on him!

At this time, the Spurs only had 5 seconds left in their offensive time. An Jie defends the basket again, there is no point. Because in this limited time, all Duncan can do is make a move!

Seeing Duncan make a shot, An Jie was unmoved, he just continued to pounce forward while raising his hands high.

"I guessed!" Duncan originally just hoped to deceive An Jie with a fake vote, but An Jie was not fooled!

If this was the first two seasons, maybe Duncan would have tricked An Jie into jumping, and then burst into the interior to complete the dunk. It's a pity that the current An Jie, although he is still very young, has accumulated some experience.

If you want to deceive An Jie, it is no longer as simple as it once was.

Seeing that Duncan's intentions were recognized, An Jie directly stuck to Duncan, and the long arms were always held high and not put down.

Duncan was forced to force his shots, but Duncan was no Maddie, and he couldn't rely on his waist strength to make a beautiful pull-up shot like Maddie. Under Anjie's interference, Duncan's shot deviated from the basket again!

Taking advantage of his height, Aldridge protected the rebound in the backcourt under the push of Burres Dior.

"What the is this man-to-man or joint defense!" Even Popovich, who was on the sidelines, couldn't help frowning. Rickard, I guess it's not going to be a way to soften these two defensive styles together? There's nothing wrong with that, but the physical exertion of the players on the defensive end is huge. If you look at the range of movement of the Trail Blazers players when they're defending, it's definitely bigger than when they're man-to-man.

It turns out that the reason why the Trail Blazers' offense is very simple today is because they want to put more physical strength and energy into defense!

In this way, the Trail Blazers are determined to win by defense!

Worthy of being the best coach of the year, Popovich has thoroughly dissected Ricard's intentions by dividing them by two. But light dissection is useless, and Popovich has to think of a solution to the problem.

While thinking about it, the Trail Blazers led by An Jie scored again in the Spurs restricted area.

This time, Anjie is no longer the one who assists, but the guy who completes the final blow.

Felton's sudden breakthrough caused the Spurs' defense to shrink quickly, and at the same time, Anjie, who was wrestling with Duncan, suddenly came out and stood on the free throw line.

Filton burst to the basket and jumped up for the layup. However, just as the basketball was about to be shot, Filton threw the basketball back, allowing An Jie, who was standing behind the free throw line, to catch the incoming ball steadily.

An Jie was about to shoot after receiving the ball, when he found that Duncan had already made up for it with his teeth and claws. I have to admire the veteran's defensive awareness, such a quick complement in place, even An Jie himself may not be able to do it.

Although he lost an open shot, Anjie was not annoyed. He decided that he wanted to create his own chances!

Taking advantage of the moment when Duncan's center of gravity moved forward because of the supplementary defense, An Jie suddenly put away the basketball raised above his head and dribbled through!

Duncan's lateral movement is so rapid that you don't know he's a 36-year-old veteran at all. Duncan's performance over the past ten years is why he is called the "No. 21 rookie". After all these years, Duncan's performance is still as positive as that of a rookie.

Although the consciousness and lateral footsteps are still there, there is a fact that has to be admitted, that is, Duncan's current body is indeed inferior to the strengthened An Jie.

An Jie pressed his shoulders against Duncan's chest, gritted his teeth, and forcibly broke through!

"Damn young man!" Duncan reluctantly chased back, he and An Jie were only a quarter of a position apart!

Just when An Jie arrived at the basket, he could dunk at all. An Jie suddenly stopped suddenly, and then, after turning around in the same place to frame himself again, he jumped back slightly and shot the basket!

An Jie's pause and turn made Duncan rush over his head. Although he tried his best to reach out and interfere with An Jie's vision, it was of no help to An Jie at all.

The basketball hit again, and this time the goal was still related to Anjie. Only this time, the goalscorer became Anjie himself.

6-0, just after the opening, the Trail Blazers showed their strong side. Not only did they lock up the Spurs on the defensive end, but they also played simple and fluid combinations on the offensive end.

The game went on like this, and under the Trail Blazers' desperate defense, the offensive efficiency of the Spurs' starters dropped significantly. Therefore, the pioneers have been able to maintain the lead.

It wasn't until there were five minutes left in the first quarter that the situation on the court finally changed.

Riccard took Anjie and Aldridge off the pitch, bringing on Marcus Camby and Kurt Thomas to withstand the defensive pressure.

Replacing the team's two leading stars ahead of schedule was also a reluctant move by Ricard. After all, this kind of high-intensity defensive game is a little more tiring than the first two games. Especially An Jie, who needs to take care of many places, has already gasped for breath.

That's the price to pay for an efficient defense, and now Ricard is just paying for the team's excellent defense.

Without Anjie and Aldridge, although the Trail Blazers' defensive plan has not changed on the surface, in fact, their defensive quality has long been greatly reduced.

The Spurs bench small forward, who is only two years younger than Duncan, veteran Stephen Jackson naturally took a fancy to the gap in the absence of Anjie and Aldridge. He kept breaking through to the most dangerous interior line just now, and the slow-paced Camby could only do defensive fouls at most.

On the other side, the arrival of Jamal Crawford also made the Trail Blazers' offense a little chaotic. So the Spurs' second team fought to catch up, and finally relied on more free throws to take the lead before the end of the first quarter.

24-22, the Trail Blazers did improve a lot, but the Spurs still took the lead. However, the gap of two points is not enough to worry about.

An Jie scored 6 points on 3-of-3 shooting in the first quarter of the game, and also handed out 3 beautiful assists. Most importantly, Anjie's aggressive zone-to-man defense has caused the Spurs' offense to die time and time again.

Stephen Jackson was just a coincidence, and in the second quarter, Anjie was confident that he would completely turn the tide and return the advantage to the Trail Blazers!

Don't be arrogant, Anjie and Aldridge didn't play for more than six minutes in the first quarter, and when they were picked up by Ricard, the Spurs wouldn't have it so easy.

Here, but the City of Tears, this is the territory of the pioneers!
