"The game just now is simply amazing! If the game continues like this, the ratings of this series will definitely reach a new high!" Wu Hua, an American colleague has forgotten that he is working. He put down the camera in his hand www.biquge.info and cheered with the fans at the scene.

"It's not going to go on like this forever, well, let's see. Wu Hua pointed to the court with his chin, and the timeout ended, and the Spurs and Trail Blazers re-entered. Even the hot and touching cheerleaders can't distract the fans.

As soon as the players from both sides appeared on the stage, the atmosphere that had just eased up was rekindled. Although the air conditioning in the Rose Garden is working normally, the fiery atmosphere never cools down.

"Oh, why do you think that?" the American colleague apparently disagreed with Mr. Wu's statement.

"Ricard and Popovich will definitely step up defensively, don't believe it. It's the Western Conference Finals, not an exhibition game. Rickard and Popovich don't care if the game is good. They are willing to try any means for the sake of victory. Wu Hua stared at the field, neither side made any substitutions, and still used the starting five tigers to play on the field. The Trail Blazers started another round of their offense, and Riccard was eager to see what kind of defense the Spurs would come up with!

When Lillard was still in possession, it was obvious that Tony Parker's interference was much stronger than before. If Lillard hadn't been born with a keen instinct for the ball, he might have been stealed by Parker a long time ago.

Seeing Anjie being circumvented by Split, Lillard decided to find another way out. He looked at Iguodala, who immediately began to run. But to Iguodala's surprise, Kawhi Leonard, the MVP winner of this year's rookie game, stuck himself to death.

Iguodala doesn't have a chance to connect the ball now, let alone attacking with the ball! No wonder the Spurs' performance this season has improved by leaps and bounds, and this Leonard's rapid progress is simply Popovich's lethal weapon!

"Damn, LaMarcus, LaMarcus!" Lillard had no choice but to break through with the ball himself, he reached for Aldridge, and Aldridge immediately set up a block for Lillard.

Although Tony Parker was prepared, the Frenchman was still half a beat slow when Lillard suddenly accelerated his breakthrough. Lillard is an older rookie, and Tony Parker is a real older player.

After Lillard broke through, everyone except Leonard habitually shrunk their defensive formation to block Lillard's passing vision and make it more difficult for him to pass.

But Lillard had already thought about the direction of the pass before he broke through, and seeing Danny Green also shrink a few steps towards the three-point line, Lillard suddenly jumped up and passed hard.

The basketball quickly flew into the hands of Wesley Matthews, who was ambushed outside the three-point line, and Matthews did not hesitate to catch the ball and shoot. As a shooter, that's what he has to do.

But Danny Green's desperate swoop disrupted Matthews' shooting rhythm slightly, and the basketball swung around the basket but still spun out.

Split immediately jumped to grab the board, but the Brazilian was only halfway up when he saw Anjie's hand overtake him and get the basketball.

Poor bounce and weak rebounding protection are two of Split's shortcomings. Before this guy could react after landing, An Jie had already jumped twice and was ready to attack the frame.

An Jie just let go of the basket and helped the Trail Blazers seize the opportunity to attack twice.

Although the Spurs conceded again, Popovich didn't seem much upset. The Spurs' defense has done a good enough job in this ball, but the problem is in the protection of the rebounding ball.

"Tim, give it to me!" Popovich yelled at Duncan, who understood that next time, the person defending Anjie would be Split himself!

However, in the Spurs' offensive round, Duncan was the first to find him before Duncan could get entangled. Perhaps neither Popovich nor Ricard could have imagined that they would have such a tacit understanding, and at the same time play against each other with an inside ace, which is the only way they can limit each other.

Anjie lowered his center of gravity to reach Duncan, but Duncan did not ask for the ball, but suddenly ran out to block Parker.

The Trail Blazers' defense is good because of the enthusiasm of the players mobilized by Ricard and the individual defense ability of the Trail Blazers players. They generally don't easily let the opponent break through or let the opponent get the starting space, and even if the opponent does it, then Anjie, the center with explosive single defense ability, will become the last barrier for the Trail Blazers.

But Duncan and Parker's pick-and-roll was like a complex math problem. You've read the problem thousands of times, but you can't solve it anyway.

Parker and Duncan's tacit cooperation allowed Lillard, the weakest individual defensive guy on the Trail Blazers, to be broken through again. An Jie was very jealous of Duncan's shooting, so he did not change his defense rashly.

Iguodala moved sideways to block Parker's breakthrough route, but Parker was in danger, and in the face of Iguodala, Parker suddenly scored a point and gave the ball to Leonard, the rising star of the Spurs.

Leonard made a three-point shot directly, but what they didn't expect was that Matthews, who was originally defending in the front, unknowingly rushed in front of him.

In the interference that Matthews sealed to his face, Leonard's three-pointer slammed into the frame.

An Jie immediately rushed into the penalty area, jumped high, and hugged the rebound. The Spurs missed their shots, and they don't have a guy who can grab offensive rebounds like the Trail Blazers.

"Sure enough, the defensive intensity of both teams has improved qualitatively, but for now, the Spurs seem to be falling behind. Kenny Smith said as he observed the Spurs' defensive strategy, and what adjustments would they make after being beaten by Anjie as a second offense?

However, what Kenny Smith didn't expect was that this scene would come so early. "Audience friends, Ann and Duncan, seem to be glued together!"

"Haha, I've been waiting for you for a long time, Tim. Believe me, even you can't do anything wrong in the Rose Garden!" An Jie habitually stimulated the nerves of his opponent, even if Duncan's face was expressionless, it didn't mean that he really had no waves in his heart.

Duncan, is there really an emotion at all? An Jie didn't know, he just hoped to use his own methods to make Duncan as impatient as possible.

Anjie settled down and found a suitable position to receive the ball. But he looked at it with his great vision, and it seemed as if his teammates were in trouble.

The Spurs' defense likes to limit the opponent's speed and break through the middle, forcing the opponent to go to the side as much as possible. At the same time, widening the distance between the Trail Blazers' players allowed the Trail Blazers to get close-range passes.

Large-scale shifts mean high risk, so Lillard doesn't dare to act rashly at this moment. Unless you want to make a steal for Tony Parker, you'd better not do it.

An Jie had no choice but to give up his good position and move to the high post to provide cover for Lillard.

After Lillard broke through, Duncan immediately blocked it and raised his hands in the air. That's how the Spurs' defensive strategy is, when an opponent breaks through on the wing or in the bottom corner, the weak-side interior line will immediately fill in. And this weak-side inside line is Duncan.

Lillard passes the ball backwards, and Angel confronts Parker from mid-range. He didn't dare to dribble, but this rhythm was not the timing of Anjie's preferred shots. was stunned for a moment, Duncan and Parker quickly switched defenses, and An Jie once again blocked a poker face in front of him.

An Jie turned his back, and he still planned to score in the best way he could. After a lap, the Trail Blazers' offense once again turned into a heads-up between the two MVPs.

Popovich couldn't help but feel proud when he saw the Trail Blazers being forced into such a situation. Don't look at Anjie getting a chance to play singles, but starting to play Duncan from mid-range is not an easy task.

After all, Duncan's ability to defend his back has been comparable to few people throughout the ages. This rock-solid guy is steady, with an accurate pace and a long arm span. Strong throw, can interfere. Turning around, the experienced Duncan can keep up.

Moreover, many people underestimate Duncan's power. He is rarely carried in a back hit, and this guy doesn't have to deliberately bend down to hold the opponent's power point. For example, Da Meng and Shark back then, and even An Jie now, they like to press the center of gravity and elbow to prevent the opponent's advancement.

But once the opponent's center of gravity comes up, if you directly pull up and throw, the defender who presses the center of gravity too low will suffer a lot. If it weren't for Anjie's quick reflexes and long arms, he wouldn't have been beaten by guys like Nowitzki and Aldridge because of this defensive habit.

But this trick is not only for An Jie, but also for Duncan, and it is difficult to be effective. Duncan doesn't have to deliberately press the center of gravity, just stand in place, and it is difficult for you to carry it away, and you can't turn it.

An Jie is now facing such an embarrassment, An Jie, who started a back-to-hand fight in the middle distance, can neither advance to the three-second zone in a short time, nor can he turn around and break through in front of Duncan, who is a special thief in the position.

Seeing that the Spurs cut off all passing routes, and he was about to fall into the trap of a five-second violation with his back, An Jie had no choice but to start shaking his shoulders and preparing for a jumper.

Anjie's realistic shoulder shake may have allowed him to shake off Marc Gasol, but Duncan would not have been fooled. This guy just looked at An Jie blankly, and stepped forward to take a step, making An Jie's center of gravity unstable.

Anjie forced a shot, but Duncan's defense without a lower back made it easy for him to interfere with Anjie's shot. An Jie hasn't felt such strong defensive pressure on an interior player for a long time, but Duncan, who is 36 years old, has done all this!

"Damn!" An Jie yelled bad as soon as he shot the ball, and sure enough, the basketball failed to hit, which was also the first time An Jie missed the attack in this game!

"It's just amazing! Tim Duncan, this man will never suffer no matter what era he is in, no matter what kind of opponent he is up against!" Although Bill Wharton is a big fan of Anjie, now, this guy has to praise Duncan. Duncan fought with the four major centers, and now he is facing off against An Jie, the strongest center in the new era, and he has not fallen behind. Duncan is a monster, a monster that has been the same for decades and will never fluctuate.

"Dry. An Jie looked at Duncan's poker face and felt angry. He has defeated Duncan many times, but he didn't expect that the current Duncan is the real final form.

When it comes to the Western Conference Finals, no one wants to give up. Even Duncan, who has already won four championships, is no exception.

After that, the game took a turn for the worse, as Ricard said.

Duncan and Anjie, the two cores of the team, are frequently playing under each other's defense, and although others can score, they always feel a little less meaningful.

Even after the second team came on, Ricard and Popovich focused on defence. The kind of confrontation scene at the beginning of the first quarter may be difficult to appear.

25-26, the Trail Blazers ended their first quarter with a narrow one-point advantage. Duncan and Anjie, whoever can knock each other down first may be able to influence the trend of the match.
