"Whew...... Call...... Call...... "......The first quarter of the game officially ended, and the two sides contributed a high-level offensive and defensive play to the fans in just 12 minutes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Even though the ticket price for the regular seats of this game has been fried to four figures, everyone who comes here to watch the game feels that the trip is worth it. And the wonderful game brings a great physical burden to the players.

As soon as the first quarter of the game ended, Popovich and Ricard noticed that their players seemed to be gasping for breath.

The pace of the game was not fast, but the intensity was too high. Even Mayers Leonard, who came off the bench, is now heaving violently in his chest.

"Continue to fight with GDP, we can drag down those old bones, and those old bones can't do anything about us! Don't worry about the consequences, if we don't fight now, we won't have a chance to fight!" Ricard told the players to continue to grit their teeth and insist, after all, the older Spurs do have more serious physical problems than the Trail Blazers.

Popovich is not stupid, he certainly won't watch this happen. The intensity of the first quarter of the game has already exceeded Popovich's expectations. So now, Popovich will definitely do something as well.

Would Duncan and Anjie continue to fight to the death? If it had been ten years ago, Popovich might have done this. But now in 2013, Duncan has also changed from the "flying devil" to the 36-year-old veteran. Unable to let the Trail Blazers catch Duncan on this point, Popovich now needs to play the Spurs as a whole and bring out the best in everyone.

"Come here, come here!" Popovich wasted no time, he immediately gathered the players around him and began to draw the complex tactics one by one.

As for the Trail Blazers, Rickard still intends to work on defense. After all, tough defense is the thing that can consume the opponent's physical strength the most.

Seeing the players from both sides stepping onto the court again, the commentators immediately put down their water bottles, put on headphones, and prepared to start the commentary work of the second quarter of the game.

"An Jie was very passive in the second half of the first quarter of the game, do you think he can find a way to defeat Duncan in just one interval?" Yu Jia asked his partner Zhang Weiping this question as a fan before the live broadcast began.

"It's true that Duncan is powerful, but the weapons in Anjie's arsenal can never be used up. Don't worry, when did that kid lose to Duncan?" Zhang Weiping's self-confidence is not groundless, since An Jie entered the league, the most CCTV broadcast is An Jie's game, and Zhang Weiping has also watched a lot of An Jie's balls. Zhang Weiping knows this guy's strength very well. Duncan did restrain Anjie just now, but it was only temporary.

The game soon began to resume, and the Spurs, who began to focus on offense, were the first to attack Duncan.

Now Duncan is not playing, and the Spurs are partnered by Split and stocky forward DeJuan Blair.

Although Blair is playing tepid now, in 2010, this guy cut a terrifying 22 points and 23 rebounds in the rookie game, and shared the MVP trophy with Evans of the Kings.

This guy is short, but he has excellent strength, runs aggressively, and is full of energy at all times. Putting such a guy in the middle of the offense would naturally provide good cover for the rest of the Spurs.

Angel saw that Tony Parker was in possession of the ball and came to the three-point line, so he stayed under the basket and did not walk around. After all, neither Split nor Blair have too good shooting ability, and Anjie can protect his turf with confidence.

Instead of trying to pick it up, Parker gave the ball to Leonard, who was 45° to the left and has been doing well this season.

Leonard held the ball and threatened three times, and Iguodala didn't move. But by this time, Blair had quietly moved to Iguodala's side.

Leonard took the opportunity to start suddenly, and Iguodala was not slow to react and quickly followed. But he didn't pay attention to him behind him, he was bumping into Blair, a fat black guy.

He tried his best to get rid of Blair's fat lump and tried to catch up with Leonard from behind. Leonard scored the ball with Anjie blocking and Iguodala chasing after him, allowing Danny Green, who had just run out of the open space, to receive the basketball.

Danny Green made a quick three-pointer and Matthews couldn't catch up in time because of Split's blocking.

Anjie immediately stuck the position, covered the entire restricted area, and was ready to fight for rebounds. However, the ball thrown by Danny Green fell directly into the net, and the Spurs scored three points as soon as they came up, and they completed the comeback in an instant.

"Yes, yes, play patiently, that's all!" Popovich clapped on the sidelines, while Ricard waved his fist in disappointment.

He strengthened his defense against the Spurs' breakout and interior offense during the break, but unexpectedly, Popovich, the old fox, is now planning to start playing from the outside. In this way, it can not only avoid the Spurs' offense directly facing Anjie, but also pull space for the players on the inside.

The Spurs' offense is beautiful, but their weak interior line can't stop Angel and Aldridge.

Anjie forced the inside to play alone, but after attracting the defense, he gave the ball to Aldridge. Anjie shouldn't have any passing vision in this ball, but the tacit understanding between him and Aldridge and Anjie's familiarity with the team's tactics allow him to know Aldridge's approximate position without looking.

Aldridge catches the ball and shoots, mid-range, which is his favorite position. DeJuan Blair was very aggressive, but he was only 2.01m tall and so fat that he couldn't jump, so he didn't interfere with Aldridge's shooting at all.

The basketball scored, Anjie assisted Aldridge to complete the score, and the Trail Blazers also bit the game again. 28 to 28, the two sides were tied, and they were still evenly matched.

In the second round, Matthews significantly tightened his mark against Danny Green, but Leonard hit another three-pointer from the bottom corner. Popovich's team offense was handled very beautifully by Parker, and Leonard, a young and old guy, also understood Popovich's tactics very deeply.

31-28, another three-pointer from the Spurs, and Rickard had a bad premonition in his heart.

The Trail Blazers attacked, and Anjie assisted Lillard in the high post to complete the layup. Split and Blair's rim-protecting ability is actually good, but when it comes to a player like Lillard, their sluggish pace suffers a little.

However, before the Trail Blazers fans could cheer for Lillard, they were once again doused by the Spurs' offense.

Kawhi Leonard! Look at Iguodala's frustrated expression, he has done his best for this ball, but Leonard still hits the ball in the middle of the interference!" The commentators seem to have spotted another superstar, Kawhi Leonard's low-key personality, which is really similar to Duncan. Perhaps, this outstanding young man is the successor of Duncan in Popovich's heart?

"Damn, I swear I'm definitely interfering with him!" Iguodala said unwillingly, and Anjie stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, reassuring him. If even an experienced guy like Iguodala panics, the Trail Blazers are in danger.

Anjie will not allow such a thing to happen, and as the leader of the team, he must do something to stabilize the situation.

So this guy started to single-handedly take charge of the team's offense, and on the defensive end, because the Spurs focused on the outside, he didn't have much of a chance to perform. In this case, Anjie decided to get back what he had lost on the offensive end.

Back hits, breakaways, dunks, passes. After a few rounds, Angel beat Split and Blair to the point of doubt. What's special is Split, who also started on the inside line of defense, and his own, which has also improved greatly. But why, their abilities are so much worse.

Seeing this, Popovich called a timeout and prepared for a substitution.

Everyone is speculating that Popovich may replace Duncan and use him to limit Anjie's play. After all, Duncan's defense of Anjie in the second half of the first quarter really surprised fans all over the world.

But when the timeout ended and the man who came up from the Spurs bench was all stunned!

"Coach Matt Bonner! Popovich didn't let Duncan play, but sent a twin-tower lineup of Matt Bonner and Split! I know Popovich is a bold manager, but it's too bold to let Anjie continue to attack!" Bill Wharton could hardly believe what he saw, and he wondered if Popovich was mistaken.

However, the Spurs' first offense after returning from a timeout, Bonner proved with his actions that Popovich's choice was not right at all!

A precise three-pointer, this is the gift that "Red Mamba" Bonner contributed to the Trail Blazers after he came on the court. Popovich didn't bring in Bonner to defend Angel, but to increase the Spurs' shooting points beyond the three-point line!

"The Spurs have gone crazy with three-point shooting! Everybody can shoot, and the scariest thing is that everybody can score! Coach Popovich took a fancy to that, so he changed his mind on the fly. If the Spurs make enough three-pointers, they can build a very significant advantage by halftime!" Kenny Smith has seen through Popovich's plan, and hopefully the Trail Blazers, who have been focusing on interior defense, can limit the Spurs who intend to make a fuss outside the three-point line today.

"Fit closely! Don't leave room for anyone!" Rickard's yell came into the ears of the Trail Blazers players, and the three-point shooter exploded en masse.

Angel leaned on Bonner again, while the rest of the Spurs clung to the other four. Popovich's defensive strategy is clear, and he would rather let Anjie chisel for two points than let Anjie's pass drive the Trail Blazers' perimeter.

Anjie easily scored a hook on Bonner's head, and his individual score became 17 points. But the gap between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs has not narrowed.

This time, An Jie rushed out directly and guarded in front of Bonner. An Jie left the three-second zone, and the huge threat from under the basket disappeared in an instant.

Because it was a close defense reason, Leonard easily entered the interior by blocking and dismantling.

Aldridge reacted quickly and immediately covered the penalty area. But in the face of Aldridge, Leonard made a strong layup and was not whistled for a foul, and Aldridge was already thankful.

"The Trail Blazers' defense has been messed up, and the Spurs are now not only shooting from beyond the three-point line, but they are finally freeing up the break! Now Coach Ricard must want the second quarter to end quickly, otherwise the margin may be widened!"

Seeing that there was not much time left in the second quarter, Ricard decided to take Anjie and Aldridge, who had been running around the whole game, to take a break. Maybe Batum and Conteney Lee can also create some advantages for the Trail Blazers' three-point shooting?

But at the end of the second quarter, Popovich also sent Duncan and Ginobili, who were well rested.

Facing Hickson and Leonard, two rookies, Duncan can play as much as he wants. Batum and Contney Lee did well after coming on the pitch, and they were at home in the second team, scoring frequently.

But the scoring efficiency of these two guys has never been comparable to Duncan, who plays very easily on the inside.

With Batum's three-point whistle at the last moment, the half-time game finally came to an end.

An Jie looked at the score on the big screen, turned his head unhappily and left, and quickly entered the player's tunnel. In the second half, the Trail Blazers had too much to do.

61-51, the Spurs cracked the gap with their almost perverted three-pointers, scoring such a high score in just half a game.

And the halftime was very low, which is also a difficulty that the Trail Blazers have never encountered in the playoffs this season.

Before the second matchup between Anjie and Duncan began, the Trail Blazers fell into passivity. Anjie must try his best to solve everything, otherwise the Spurs will be able to take the victory away without the final showdown.

The San Antonio Spurs are always the worst opponent!
