Chapter 796: "Low-profile Version" An Jie?

The Trail Blazers' multi-point flowering performance made the Spurs completely unable to hold their heads up at home.

The Spurs have never taken a single point lead from the start of the game until now. At this moment, there are only three minutes left before the end of the first quarter, and the Spurs are already eight points behind.

Popovich looked at his bench and said that if the Spurs want to keep the margin in the single digits, the performance of their second team will be extremely important!

The Trail Blazers have sent away several important rotation players for their ultra-luxurious starters. As a result, the Trail Blazers' second lineup is definitely one of their weaknesses. Popovich just wants to seize this opportunity and bite the score in one fell swoop!

Trail Blazers backup point guard Shabazz Napier made a pass error under the entanglement of Patrick Mills, and the game was temporarily dead-ball. Rickard shouted from the sidelines, replacing Anjie with Nurkic.

Seeing this situation, Popovich instantly came to his senses, and Anjie's departure meant that all the Trail Blazers were now on the court were bench players! This cunning "fox" knew that the Spurs' chance had come!

"Manu, give me a lot of impact on their inside line! In the next three minutes, I need you to score as many points as possible!" Popovich's order reached the ears of Ginobili, who was already 40 years old, and the Argentine Demon Knife couldn't help but smile, he had waited long enough for this moment to let go!

Although he is 40 years old, Ginobili's vitality has not diminished in the slightest. Although the playing time is getting less and less, as long as he can play, Ginobili will definitely do his best.

As soon as he scored the first goal, Ginobili broke through quickly under the block of David Lee.

Bosnia-Herzegovina's post-90s youngster Nurkic did not dare to let go of the soft-touch David Lee completely, so Ginobili easily entered the penalty area.

Ed Davis was very aggressive in his defense, but his ability to judge the timing of the block in the final moments needed to be improved.

In the end, Ginobili couldn't get the direct goal he wanted, but caused a foul on Ed Davis.

"Ginobili is still as cunning as ever, don't look at this guy is 40 years old, he is full of bad ideas. "At 40 years old, Ginobili may not be as capable as he was then. But he has plenty of experience enough for him to handle most of the players in this league.

The Spurs' second offense, still with Ginobili holding the ball, and David Lee, who was still able to shoot, stepped forward to block and dismantle.

This time, Nurkic didn't continue to defend David Lee, but stayed behind David Lee, ready to defend Ginobili at any time.

Unexpectedly, Ginobili's speed greatly exceeded Nurkic's expectations. Nurkic had no idea that the 40-year-old Ginobili would be able to run like this. Moreover, the Argentine's breakthrough pace is so strange that you can't even guess where he's going next.

In this way, Nurkic, who was already not outstanding in athleticism, was once again thrown away by Ginobili. Ginobili easily threw in the box and cut two more points!

Seeing that the Spurs relied on the 40-year-old Ginobili to close the score, Ricard couldn't help but shake his head. The depth of the Trail Blazers' second team is indeed a little worse, and their young bench players have a lot of potential, but that potential hasn't been fully realized yet.

In this way, under the bombardment of Ginobili and Rudy Gay, who joined the Spurs, the Trail Blazers finally ended the first quarter of the game with a two-point lead. In front of the Trail Blazers' young second team, Rudy Gay and Ginobili are just too strong to be present.

"Hey, man, you have to play a little bit more aggressively, a little more aggressively, you know, don't let them step into the box recklessly, let them know that the box belongs to our center forward!" After the players left the game, Anjie pulled Nurkic aside alone and taught him his experience.

Anjie feels that Nurkic is very similar to himself back then, with no outstanding athleticism and no outstanding physical fitness. Only rare technology and the determination to change. Anjie hopes that what he said will change Nurkic's style of play, so that when Ginobili attacks the box again, he will be frightened.

Anjie put his arm around Nurkic's shoulders and kept talking, if Ricard hadn't called everyone together around him, Anjie probably could have talked to Nurkic about the entire interval.

He hasn't rested for long, and the sweat on his body hasn't dried yet? An Jie saw that the red light on the rebound had risen, and the second quarter of the game began!

"Look at what Morris and I do, remember Yusuf, when we're not around, you have to control the offense and defense of this team!" Anjie bent down and muttered a few words to Nurkic before coming on the court.

Previously, the Trail Blazers had guys like Fischer and Miller Sr. in control of the team's tempo. Now that the Trail Blazers don't have that experienced point guard role on their second team, Nurkic, who has a good playmaker, naturally has to take on the load.

The Bosnian youngster is unusually serious now, after all, he doesn't want to disappoint a legend like Anjie.

Nurkic has a lot of potential, something that even AnJie agrees with. As long as he can learn something, the Trail Blazers' second team will no longer be at a disadvantage.

As the second quarter began, the rhythm seemed to be back to what it used to be. The firepower of the Trail Blazers' starting five tigers made the Spurs, who are known for their defense, unable to parry.

Anjie took the lead on the inside, and after opening a gap, Paul George and Lillard were able to get plenty of shots.

On the defensive end, Anjie's replenishment and change of defense were so fast that Nurkic at the bottom was dumbfounded.

The Bosnian center forward kept sucking in all the details on the field, observing Anjie's footsteps and observing Anjie's position. Similarly, Morris's side has also benefited Nurkic a lot.

After all, defense isn't something you can do well with speed and body alone. The ability to stand, anticipate and read the game is also very important.

Can Anjie's speed really be faster than those defenders and forwards? But An Jie's accurate judgment of their next move allows him to react quickly, thus giving people the illusion that An Jie is very fast.

Just as Nurkic was thinking, a driving layup by Danny Green successfully added a block to Anjie's stats.

Danny Green's expression was very surprised, he didn't know when Angel came out. But in fact, Anjie has been observing Green for a long time. When the time comes, the lid will be captured!

After successfully defending, Anjie pointed to Nurkic who was sitting on the bench. Nurkic nodded vigorously, next time, he will not disappoint the team!

"Boy, you're so lucky. Even Meyers Leonard, who was sitting next to Nurkic, was a little envious, and this kind of opportunity to be taught by Anjie himself was not available anytime and anywhere.

Paul George's slam dunk on the fast break put the Trail Blazers' offense to an end in five seconds, and the margin was widened again, and Aldridge and Leonard knew it was time for them to step up!

This time, Iguodala stabbed Leonard to death. You know, Iguodala is a serious degraded scoring ability. But he's still a top-tier perimeter defender.

Leonard couldn't shake Iguodala off the ball on several off-ball runs, and Parker knew he had to change tactics.

Parker reached out for a pick-and-roll, and Aldridge and Pau Gasol both came on to strike, forcing both Angel and Morris to follow out of the box.

Needless to say, Aldridge naturally has no need to say that Gasol's shooting ability cannot be ignored. In order not to give them an easy shot, Anjie and Morris had to temporarily concede the three-second zone.

Parker didn't hesitate and immediately broke through with a pick-and-roll. Parker chose to go on Aldridge's side, after all, it could be farther away from Angel.

Morris tried to chase back, but Nurkic found that Anjie was not dead next to Pau Gasol.

I saw An Jie take a step in the direction of Aldridge, and he was standing between Gasol and Aldridge at the moment. Nurkic couldn't help but wonder, who exactly is Anjie trying to defend?

Tony Parker felt the pressure coming from behind him, how terrifying is Morris's athleticism?

With Morris chasing after him, Parker will have a good chance of being blocked if he rushes to the basket.

So Parker made a layup, but with a flick of his wrist, he passed the ball backwards!

"No!" Parker's basketball had barely been out of his hands when he heard Aldridge shouting from behind him.

Just when Aldridge was about to catch the ball, Anjie suddenly jumped between the basketball and Aldridge and grabbed the ball firmly!

"Swift reflexes!Ann made a steal!" the commentators shouted.

Nurkic smiled, knowing that Anjie was able to steal more than just agility. And his prediction and pre-positioning. When Anjie decided to stand between Aldridge and Gasol, it meant that he had already guessed that Parker might pass the ball!

It turns out that there are too many skills in the seemingly simple defense. Nurkic is now eager to take the plunge and can't wait to put into practice what he's just learned.

The second quarter wasn't a tight game, and Aldridge didn't play well under Morris's defense. The Spurs' offense also fell into a trough for a time. Popovich frowned on the sidelines, his unhappy expression all written on his face.

Unexpectedly, the San Antonio Spurs, who have Aldridge, Leonard, Gasol, and Parker, can only pin their hopes of winning on the second team!

After a while, the rotation time that Popovich had been waiting for finally arrived. Shabazz Napier was the last to come on the court in place of Lillard, representing the Trail Blazers officially taking over from the second team!

Nurkic came on the court and looked at Anjie, who gave a thumbs up to the promising guy.

On the court, Ginobili had already controlled the basketball and pushed forward. Nurkic is ready to fight!

When Rudy Gay received the basketball, he shook off the slow-moving Aminu with a triple threat.

Aminu, a striker born in the No. 4 position, has always been a big problem after switching to the No. 3 position. What's more, he's up against a tough opponent like Rudy Gay.

Guy continues to speed up after passing Aminu, Nurkic, that kid, you can shake him off with a single European step!

Guy didn't hesitate and thought of doing it. Facing Nurkic with his arms outstretched, Guy immediately took a big arc to the left.

Nurkic's mind was racing, and Guy wouldn't usually make such exaggerated strides when he hit the basket. Unless......

Seeing that Nurkic was unmoved, Guy took another step to the right with the basketball in his arms, trying to dodge Nurkic's defense. To Guy's surprise, however, Nurkic remained unmoved!

There was no way, and Guy's only option now was to jump up against the defense and make a layup. If you're lucky, you can cheat a foul.

But Nurkic didn't give Guy a chance to go to the free throw line, and Nurkic, who predicted the right direction, stretched out his long arm and cleanly slapped the basketball in Guy's hand.

Guy's unbelievable expression was featured by reporters, this guy definitely didn't believe that he would be blocked by a post-90s European man!

"! that's great!" Nurkic was excited after the block, and he yelled at the fans at the ATT Center that he lived up to Anjie's expectations of himself!

"Come on, let's not worry about the second lineup. Off the field, Anjie is just as happy as Nurkic.

"What did you tell him, stinky boy?" asked Ricard, turning his head.

"I didn't say anything, this kid, he's just smart. Anjie looked at Nurkic roaring on the court, this game, the Trail Blazers won the game!

When Anjie has trained a weakened version of "Anjie" that can temporarily replace him, Rudy Gay and Ginobili are waiting for bad luck!210
