After the confrontation with Parker caused the Frenchman to go off the field due to injury, as soon as Anjie got the ball, the ATT center immediately resounded with overwhelming boos. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It seems that Ann has become a thorn in the eye of Spurs fans!" Kenny. Smith watched with interest as Chinese players rarely defended hard, even Yao Ming. Although Kenny knew in his heart that Parker's injury was not the result that the Chinese wanted, his strong desire to defend the box was still eye-catching.

In the second quarter, due to Parker's absence, the Spurs' offense was not as fluid as it was at the beginning. Ginobili delivered a couple of very entertaining second passes, the kind of passes that separated the line between success and error, but it wasn't a long-term solution for organizing a game.

No, Westbrook seized a fleeting opportunity to make a successful interception on Ginobili's pass, and then exploded, flashed across half court, and dunked. It was also the first time Westbrook had played a fast break in today's game, and the first time he had scored in his favorite way.

The previous games of both teams were slow-paced grinding positions, so there were few mistakes, and even if they did, they didn't get a chance to counterattack. Fortunately, Westbrook, who had held back for half the court, finally got his wish.

The Spurs' offense has a small problem, but the Thunder's Anjie will not be disturbed by the boos of the Spurs fans. There is an old Chinese saying that people are not afraid of crooked shadows, and An Jie admitted that the defense was a foul, but he did not carry the pot that led to the injury. No matter how Spurs fans scolded, An Jie still organized the offense unhurriedly, and this kind of performance gave him a bit of a shadow of "Stone Buddha".

But the real Stone Buddha is right in front of Anjie's eyes, Tony. Parker's point is gone, and Duncan naturally has to take on more offensive responsibilities. In the second half of the second quarter, after a relaxed "game" with Thomas, Anjie's defensive pressure suddenly increased a lot.

Even in the face of Anjie's defense, Duncan is still stable. Except for one time that was blocked by An Jie and one shot that was too small, Duncan's remaining 6 shots were all hit!

"That's Tim. The greatness of Duncan, Anjie's defense can allow Howard to only get a 40% shooting rate, but Duncan is still quite efficient in the face of such defense. "Kenny. Smith is full of praise for Duncan, and countless talented people have challenged him, but he has always been able to push off challengers with this simple style of play.

With Duncan's excellent play, the Spurs didn't collapse after losing Parker, after all, this is the Spurs.

At 48-53, the Spurs only led the Thunder by only five points, and since the game was broadcast live to the whole United States, many fans were surprised by the Thunder's performance.

Who is in this young team? In addition to these three rookies, the most famous person is Jeff. Van Gundy. However, it is this team that relies on rookies and rigid coaches that has created a lot of problems for the Spurs.

The crowd forgot that Ginobili and Tony, who are now shining on the court. Parker, but he is a treasure found by Presti, the current general manager of the Thunder. If they knew that, they wouldn't be surprised why the Thunder could have all three of these great rookies at the same time.

"George. Hill! Just do what you normally do when you train, don't be nervous, Manu will help you. In the locker room at halftime, Popovich affectionately patted the rookie point guard on the shoulder. As a rookie, he's about to replace the legendary Spurs' offense helmed by injured Parker, which inevitably makes him a little nervous.

"Don't worry, coach, I'll do my best." This was his chance to shine, and Hill knew he couldn't do it!

"Manu, in the second half, I want you to increase the number of independent offenses, and if you can, try to make fouls on the Thunder's No. 16 center." Popovich writes and draws on the tactical board, and although he asks Ginobili to take more shots, it doesn't mean he's going to let Ginobili go single. Every attack has to be done in a reasonable way.

The Spurs are talking about Parker's offense after his absence, while the Thunder are talking about Jeff. Van Gundy, without exception, is emphasizing defense again.

"Russell, think about where we stand in training, think about the cards I put up, you can't be easily blocked by pick-and-roll! You're the number one on the team! It's the first line of defense! Keep an eye on your surroundings and don't just keep an eye on the person with the ball. If there's a pick-and-roll, you need to spot it in time and be ready to get around him at any time! "Although the emphasis is different, the common denominator is that the first thing Popovich and Van Gundy did was to solve the problems that arose in the No. 1 position.

The ATT Center was quiet for 15 minutes, but as Angel came out of the tunnel at the start of the second half, the deafening boos from the Spurs fans rang out again.

An Jie was still frowning, imagining this as the cheers of the home fans. But it also shows how much San Antonio fans love the Frenchman.

At the beginning of the second half, Duncan was still standing on the court, and this appearance has been playing for a long time. It seems that as long as An Jie doesn't play, Duncan won't go down to rest. Not only that, Duncan's offensive desire on the court is very high, and his sudden outburst has made the Thunder's interior defensive pressure increase sharply, and the Spurs' offensive rhythm has gradually increased under his leadership.

"Only Duncan can handle it?" Van Gundy touched his chin, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of old man Popovich, this is not a conventional way to play with Duncan.

With two and a half minutes left in the third quarter, Popovich called another timeout, which was Duncan's second break of the third quarter. As soon as he got off the scene, Duncan unscrewed a bottle of Gatorade and poured it into his mouth.

"How's Tim? What about you, Manu? Popovich asked his two generals with concern.

"You can still fight!" Duncan was sweating profusely, his chest was rising and falling violently, and that Chinese rookie was much more difficult than he thought!

"No, no, you guys take a break and let someone else get on." Popovich is a little nerve-wracking, although on the surface the Spurs only lost a No. 1 spot, but Parker's departure is not something that can be filled by a rookie off the bench, and the task he is left with is naturally on the shoulders of Duncan and Ginobili.

"Tim and I can't be as strong as those three youngsters, we have to open up now! So that we can get more breaks in the fourth quarter. Ginobili also expressed his opinion, he and Duncan are not iron men, and it is very unrealistic to let two "old men" who are both over 30 years old follow three rookies who have just entered the league.

So after the timeout, everyone, including Spurs fans, was surprised to see that Duncan and Ginobili were still on the court!

At the moment, the game on the court has become 70-63, and for a team like the Spurs, they can keep it until the end even if they have a mere seven-point advantage, but today against the Thunder's talented three young men, this tradition is probably going to be broken.

Duncan's consumption is very high, and it is not easy to defend his Anjie. Van Gundy said that the Spurs are now looking for more rest time for their main team, and their second team can't do it, so they have to let Duncan and Ginobili play in person.

An Jie didn't give Duncan a chance to breathe, as long as Duncan leaned up, even if he hadn't received the ball yet, An Jie would quickly exert his strength and push Duncan out.

This is a lose-lose attrition style of play, but is An Jie still afraid of consuming with a 33-year-old "old" guy?

Duncan blocks and Ginobili breaks through. An Jie immediately changed his defense, but Ginobili passed the ball without looking at the back of his head, and distributed the ball to Duncan. Duncan ignored Westbrook, who was standing in front of him, and used his height advantage to shoot, and the basketball still went into the net with precision.

This time it was Duncan's blocking, and An Jie was a little jealous of Ginobili's ball, so he deliberately left a backhand. Really! When he was about to enter the frame, Ginobili raised his hand again, he was about to pass!

An Jie was secretly happy in his heart, and stretched out his arm to steal. Unexpectedly, Manu was just a fake pass, and after making the pass, the basketball was still stuck to Ginobili's hand, and in the second step, he jumped to the basket.

An Jie was deceived by this feint and slowed down, but the desire to protect the basket in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.

An Jie stretched out his long arm and threw himself at the basketball in the air, and the audience almost touched the basketball when they saw An Jie, but in the end he still shot it empty.

Duncan and Ginobili, the two old partners, used their old methods to hit the young Thunder again and again. Seeing the two veterans on the court working so hard for victory, every Spurs fan was moved by their unyielding spirit.

The efforts of the two old guys paid off, and when the third quarter ended, the Spurs finally stretched the margin to double digits, 78-67, and the Spurs entered the fourth quarter with an eleven-point difference.

"Who would have thought before the game that the Thunder, the worst team in November, would force the Spurs, who are third in the West, to this place. The three young men of the Thunder team can play on the court for a long time, and when the Spurs play with the second lineup, they can't withstand the impact of the Thunder's three young players at all, and because of this, Coach Popovich has to make this strategy and wants to settle the battle in advance! "Kenny. Smith is impressed with the Oklahoma City Thunder and those three boys, and it is precisely because of the existence of the three of them that the Spurs are now very embarrassed. That's right, even if the Spurs are leading by double digits at the moment, their situation can only be described as embarrassing.

The most important thing for a rookie is to have the right guide, and Van Gundy really did as he told reporters, bringing out the potential of the Thunder.

Durant was assigned to play without the ball, Anjie was assigned to play a response or a low post single, and Westbrook had the right to call anyone to block it for him after possessing the ball.

However, Durant actually has the ability to hold the ball alone, Anjie can occasionally finish the offense outside the three-second zone, Westbrook is also passable when he catches the ball, and the young man's breakthrough point is also not to be underestimated.

It's because of Jeff. Van Gundy's tailor-made arrangement for the three of them allowed him, who originally did not have many offensive routines, to play a rich offense on the Thunder.

Eleven points? Facing the Spurs' second team without GDP, Jeff. Van Gundy is fully confident that his three young men will be able to move the score back!

(The second wave of the third consecutive change ended, and the last wave of the fourth consecutive was left in the afternoon or evening, and the number of subscriptions was much more than I expected, which is really touching, thank you for your support.) (To be continued.) )
