The frenzied summer has quietly arrived, and the hot early summer is naturally matched by the equally hot NBA playoffs. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the morning of the City of Roses, the sky is finally no longer gray. The scorching sun tore through the clouds and threw the earth straight onto the ground. The moist grass was covered with a layer of dewdrops, and countless roses were once again awakened by the morning glow.

Catherine was still a little sleepy, but her eyes were hit by the sunlight that pierced through the curtains. She snorted lazily, rubbed her wistful eyes, and rolled over, ready to hide from the sun, also to be able to hold the big man who had been sleeping next to her for the past two days.

However, when Catherine put her arms around her, she did not touch Angel's strong chest. When she opened her eyes, Catherine realized that she was the only one in the bedroom now.

"Ann?" Catherine shouted, but there was no response from the empty cottage. Catherine quickly picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table and looked at the time, it was 10:25 in the morning, no wonder An Jie was not there, this guy should have been in the rose garden for a while......

The second-most consecutive single-game shooting streak in NBA league history, and the highest number of shots made out of 100% shooting percentage in NBA playoff history. 17-of-17, super double-double, big win over Spurs...... In the past two days, Anjie has once again become the focus of fans' attention, but this time, fans are paying attention to him, no longer because of the big red headline in the San Antonio Post.

A few days ago, An Jie was pushed to the forefront by countless people, and his strength was also greatly questioned. Now, a few days later, An Jie has been mythologized as a historical-level center forward, and even An Jie himself feels that the outside world's praise for him is a little too much.

But it doesn't matter, that's how the media make money. If you don't exaggerate the content and create more topics, how can you attract attention? And this kind of exposure is not a bad thing for An Jie.

The sales of the generation of the center forward have been greatly stimulated by Anjie's performance. On the side of Moslav, countless business contracts have also taken the initiative to throw themselves into his arms. Even leading figures in Chinese basketball, such as Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming, were dug up by reporters and expressed their views on An Jie.

An Jie knew that the miracle he had inadvertently created had affected too many things. But there's one thing that can't be compromised, and that's the upcoming match tonight!

An Jie is not a fool, the reason why he was able to shoot 17 in the last game was not only his own strength, but also good luck helped him a lot.

So today, Anjie can't guarantee that he can still be efficient. He couldn't afford to take the enemy lightly, even if they had beaten the spurs to the ground two days earlier.

Therefore, after not practicing for two nights in a row because of Catherine, today he was the first to come to the Rose Garden Course in the morning glow of the torn city.

Anjie greeted Aldridge when he arrived, and the guy was running around the perimeter of the court in the morning as usual. Entering the training hall, the stadium security guard had already opened the door of the training venue for An Jie, lest An Jie, an "annoying" guy, disturb himself who had just finished his shift.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner, and now An Jie only hopes that the evening game will also go well.

Popovich's expression was not very good-looking since he entered the public eye today. No way, the Spurs lost the last game really embarrassingly, even if it has been two days, Popovich still can't force himself to squeeze out even half a smile.

This gray-haired old man came to the Rose Garden Course today with emotions. In the past two days, he has adjusted his tactics according to Riccard's defensive strategy, and the Spurs players have also worked overtime in Portland to practice offensive movement. Without winning a game in Portland, Popovich couldn't swallow the breath in his heart.

And what about Ricard, his palms were sweaty, he spoke too fast, and it was clear that the rookie coach was a little nervous.

Against the Spurs, Ricard used almost all of his ability. Now if he is asked to come up with something novel to hit the Spurs by surprise, Rickard really can't come up with it.

Maybe Rickard will improve a lot in the summer after this season, but there is not much Rickard can do in the playoffs. After all, he's done well enough that if no one reminds him, many people will forget that this sweary guy is coaching an NBA-caliber team for the first time.

Therefore, this game is not dominated by either team on a tactical level. The outcome of the game depends more on the performance of the players.

From the start of the game, the Spurs showed that they were more holistic than the Trail Blazers. Duncan, Leonard and Burris Dior scored one goal each on the outside, mid-range and inside. The Trail Blazers are already one of the best teams in the league as a whole, but compared with the Spurs, the "grandfather", the Trail Blazers' offense still seems to rely too much on Anjie.

But fortunately, although the Spurs started the offense very smoothly, the Trail Blazers still bit the score. Only this time, the first to stand out for the Trail Blazers is no longer Anjie, but LaMarcus Aldridge!

After three games, Aldridge has gradually become accustomed to Dior's opportunistic defence. Therefore, in this game, when Anjie's receiving route was blocked by everyone in the Spurs, Aldridge was able to show his magic in front of Dior.

Dior's defense is indeed very smart, but the difference in physical fitness and height between the two is not something that Dio can make up for by being smart alone. Maybe the first three games are okay, but Aldridge, who is also improving, will not let Dior see himself to death for the fourth time.

"Turnover jumper, the ball flies in a high arc, there is, go in again! Low-key but deadly killer, Coach Popovich won't forget about Aldridge, a dangerous guy, right?"

"Dior jumps and blocks! No, it's Aldridge's feint. The foul was successful, and Aldridge was given two free throws. To be honest, getting Aldridge to make free throws is no different than sending the Trail Blazers two points. ”

Aldridge cut in, Ann stuck Duncan behind him, and Duncan's defense speed was greatly slowed down!

Aldridge, Aldridge. In the entire first quarter of the game, the name that appeared most frequently was Aldridge. The Spurs' goal scorer seems to be different every game, but on the Trail Blazers' side, it seems that Aldridge is scoring all the time.

After six minutes of the first quarter, Riccard replaced Anjie early. An Jie, who only made history in the last game, seems to have disappeared today, and can only assist in defense and blocking for Aldridge.

But Ricard was not disappointed by Anjie's downfall, and now it was best to have Aldridge to withstand it. Therefore, Anjie, who saves a lot of physical strength, will always play a role at critical moments.

So An Jie was forgotten on the very edge of the bench, and except for Catherine, few people would pay attention to An Jie at all. What about making history in the last game, people are now more concerned about Aldridge who is better on the field.

An Jie sat down and sat until the middle of the second quarter. Duncan played a feel on the offensive end during the time Anjie was off the court, and Aldridge's shooting percentage dropped a lot after becoming a key target for Popovich.

Seeing that the Spurs were about to extend their score advantage to five points, Ricard was finally willing to beat Anjie out!

It turns out that it is not for nothing that Anjie can overpower Aldridge as the star of the Trail Blazers.

After Anjie returned, the Trail Blazers' defense immediately became different. Hitting the box is now just as hard for the Spurs to hit as it is for a shot from the perimeter. As for the offensive aspect, An Jie obviously has no magical aura on his head today, but his offensive efficiency is still not low, which is on par with Aldridge, who has just performed well.

If that's all there is to it, the Spurs still have a chance to hold on to their advantage. But Anjie's excellent ability to respond is something Aldridge doesn't have yet. Under Anjie's organization, the Trail Blazers not only consolidated the defense, but also enriched the offense. The Spurs could only watch as the margin was tied. Until the end of the half, the two sides could not distinguish between the two sides.

54-54, the pace of the game, seems to be back to the way it was in the first two games.

"The second half! The Trail Blazers' weakness is in the second half, and almost all of the two games we won against the Trail Blazers in the playoffs started in the second half!" Popovich thought that the Trail Blazers would follow the same old path today, but when the second half really began, he found that the anxiety was not alleviated at all.

The GDP trio played very well in the third quarter, with Parker's solid shooting, Ginobili's terrifying passing and wicked breakaway, and Duncan's steady play against Anje, all of which made the Spurs' score rise steadily.

However, just as Rickard expected, Anjie, who had been silent enough in the first half, finally took over the invisible baton from Aldridge in the second half!

Anjie began to bombard the Spurs' hinterland again, and his all-round offensive methods made the old Duncan a little embarrassed.

DeJuan Blair, Thiago Split and Matt Bonner took turns sharing the pressure for Duncan, but none of them could limit Anjie's play.

Blair is too short, and Anjie doesn't need to go into the penalty area to hook his hand directly, and he can easily hit and score. Split has too little experience, and Anjie's dreamy steps always trick him into a daze. As for Matt Bonner, this guy's soft style of play can't withstand Anjie's powerful backlash at all.

In the end, Popovich found that only by continuing to let Duncan play could he limit Anjie's momentum a little. Taking turns to face this move didn't work for An Jie at all.

So the third quarter of the game also ended in a ending in which neither side had an advantage, 75-73, and the Spurs only relied on Ginobili's final whistle shot to lead by two points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, both coaches let most of the main players go off the court and let the team's second team hold the situation for the time being.

Conteney Lee and Jamal Crawford were in decent form, neither of them were able to "transform" into superstars today, and as a result, Ricard's second team could not pick a third, more threatening attacking point.

Thankfully, Spurs veteran Stephen Jackson and small guard Gary Neal were also mediocre, with both sides providing a boring four-minute game for the excited fans. Four minutes later, Popovich took out the GDP, while Ricard sent Anjie and Aldridge. The two coaches have a very tacit understanding and let the rhythm of the game enter the decisive stage!

"Wesley Matthews! 3-pointers!" At the crucial moment, the Spurs paid the price for their defense that focused on blocking the box.

Anjie and Aldridge admit that with Popovich's targeting, it will be difficult for them to lead the team with points now. But Angel was always able to find a way to move the ball to the outside, and Matthews, Felton and Gerard Wallace, who were on the outside, lived up to Anjie's trust in them.

So in the second half of the final quarter, the Trail Blazers were a rare three-point rain, and Wesley Matthews' three-point shot came with his hands open. The Trail Blazers' strengths were in the mid-range and three-second zone, but today, the Spurs were almost killed by the Trail Blazers' worst way of scoring.

Shooting 6-of-9 from three-point range, that's what the Trail Blazers' three starting perimeter players handed over to Ricard in the final moments. And these 6 three-pointers went straight to the point and grabbed the last breath of the Spurs.

Although the Spurs relied on the cooperation of Parker and Duncan to bite the score, Anjie and Aldridge made a three-pointer and a dunk at the bottom of the basket at the last moment, but set the tone for the victory.

After a tight game, the Spurs finally lost for the second time in a row in the Rose Garden with a difference of six points.

103-109, Popovich couldn't have imagined that he would be shot through by the Trail Blazers with a three-point shot!

What the damn bullshit, it all happened to him Popovich!

Ricard looked at the result with satisfaction, admitting that when Anjie and Aldridge couldn't score, Ricard only tried the outside with the mentality of taking a gamble. As everyone knows, this trial really tried the outside line.

This result is indeed very accidental, but accidental, it must also be built on a certain foundation of strength.

In any case, Ricard and his men were in danger of levelling the series to a 2-2 draw.

Getting a little respite, Rickard wasn't surprised, and he didn't forget that the Trail Blazers had never conquered the ATT Center in the playoffs.

However, one of the next two games will be played at the ATT Center!

Popovich and Ricard are now looking for a way to make the team win two games in a row, a tie-break? Who likes to fight, anyway, Ricard and Popovich, the two utilitarian guys, will not be interested in a tie-break.

It's not easy to tie the score, but let's not forget, the playoffs continue. The rivalry between two teams close to each other seems to be at an impasse.
