Chapter 204: Evil Hands
On the court, after Anxi passed Kowhi Leonard in one step, he rushed directly to the basket. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At this moment, there is only one defense left on the Spurs' interior line, which is Aaron Baines sitting in the restricted area, Aaron Baines faced Anxi and stretched out his right hand to block Anxi's layup.
But Anxi suddenly slowed down, and after flying Aaron Baines with a layup feint, Anxi took another step, and the person had already come to the basket, and the Spurs interior line was already empty.
Facing the empty basket, Anxi easily put the basketball in.
Two points in hand!Anxi helped the team equalize again.
Popovich couldn't stand it at all, this time, Kawhi Leonard did stick to Anxi, but this is not the closeness that Popovich wants to see, what he means is actually to let Kawhi Leonard increase his actions on the defensive end to press Anxi, instead of just sticking to Anxi like now, Anxi accelerates after a feint, and Kawhi Leonard can't keep up......
Popovich was angry about Kowhi Leonard's performance in this game, he directly called a timeout, and then directly asked Marco Berinelli to defend Anxi, and Kawhi Leonard to defend James Anderson, and reflect on himself on the court.
And turning his head, Popovich's words to Marco Belinelli were even more aimed at Kawhi Leonard: "Marco, you go to defend Anxi, let Ko know what defense is!"
Kawhi Leonard was silent, but back on the court, the Spurs' offense, Kowhi Leonard was still on the right side of Anxi.
However, the Spurs' offensive wave did not pass through Leonard's hands, Leonard only ran back and forth a few times, and then Marco Belinelli got a chance to shoot in the middle.
Bang, didn't go in.
An Xi rushed inside and jumped up to grab the rebound.
Immediately after that, he turned around and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.
Holding the ball at the top of the arc in the front court, Anxi was surprised to find that the Spurs had changed the players who defended him again, and Marco Belinelli faced Anxi.
Although the defender was changed, Anxi didn't care at all, after all, judging from this game, no matter who defends Anxi, it doesn't make a difference, Anxi's offensive method doesn't need to change, he just needs to do his best.
In the face of Marco Berinelli's defense, Anxi's offense was simpler.
It was almost an acceleration, and then Anxi used his physical advantage to crush Mako Belinelli into the inside line.
After rushing into the three-point line, Anxi leaned on Makoberinelli with his back, and after shaking from side to side, Anxi turned around and made a fake shot, shaking Makoberinelli, and then Anxi didn't make adjustments and threw the basketball out directly.
Marco Belinelli, who was dangling in the air, hit Anxi, and with a beep, the referee decisively blew the whistle in his mouth, and Marco Belinelli fouled.
But at the same time, the referee looked at the basketball that flew towards the basket, and in the next second, there was a sound of a crisp wiping net......
The ball is in! Anxi played a wave of 2+1!
Marco Berinelli had a cold face, not only did he not defend Anxi, but he also made Anxi 2+1.
Not far away, Kawhi Leonard looked at Belinelli with a blank face, which made Belinelli suddenly have a feeling: Is this kid laughing at me......
Although Marco Berinelli knew that laughing at his teammates was not what Kawhi Leonard would do, he felt a pang of grievance, and Popovich asked him to teach Kawhi Leonard what it means to defend, and he did it worse than Kowylenard, which made him feel like he had lost face.
An Xi walked to the free throw line, hit the free throw steadily, and successfully hit a three-pointer to help the 76ers overtake the score.
In the first four minutes of the second quarter, the game became a stage for Anxi alone, opening two dry three-pointers, and then breaking through to the basket for a layup, as well as this 2+1 just now, in the first four minutes of the second quarter, Anxi scored 11 points alone, and when there were less than 8 minutes left before the end of the first half, Anxi's personal score had soared to 24 points.
The Spurs obviously failed to prevent Anxi's outburst very well, and in Charles Barkley's opinion, Popovich overestimated Kawhi Leonard's defense of Anxi, so that the Spurs did not go to cover and help defend Anxi at all, which allowed Anxi to get too many opportunities to play alone.
"Anxi has got too many singles opportunities, maybe Greg Popovich still thinks that Anxi is the Anxi in the regular season, but obviously, the current Anxi has been further upgraded, and now Anxi is already a kaleidoscope on the offensive end, no matter who it is, don't want to defend Anxi one-on-one, because Anxi can use a variety of singles techniques to make defenders unguardable......"
Some people think that the current Anxi is more like Kobe Bryant in his prime, with a variety of offensive means, extremely good at back-to-back singles and step-back jumpers, and the defensive treatment that Kobe Bryant faced back then - whenever Kobe Bryant takes the ball in a threatening position, the opponent will definitely cover it.
Obviously, Anxi also deserves this treatment, the Heat and Pacers have suffered losses before, and they quickly made changes and began to constantly wrap up Anxi.
Now the Spurs obviously haven't reacted yet, so at the beginning of this game, Anxi broke out......
Marco Berinelli couldn't defend against Anxi, and the attack that turned around was slapped down by Anxi, who changed the defense after the block.
And An Xi, who filmed the basketball, also caught the basketball on the floor in an instant, and then lowered his body, rushed out with a sudden acceleration, and launched a fast attack.
"Damn! When did Ann become so powerful!What is Greg doing? Why don't you make a change?" The Spurs fans on the sidelines became impatient, and Popovich also stood up, realizing that he did underestimate Ann Xi's strength......
Whether on the offensive or defensive end, Popovich did not make specific restrictions on Anxi, and the restrictions, in the first game of the Finals, the Spurs suffered.
Popovich was already on the sidelines, ready to wait until the 76ers' fast break was over and immediately called a timeout.
On the field, Anxi, who had successfully broken the ball, rushed to the front court at a gallop, and Marco Belinelli, who was blocked, made a lot of effort to feed, and he could only be one step behind Anxi when he rushed to the front court empty-handed, so Anxi, who rushed to the front court, could easily see the basket, and then stepped into it in one step, ignoring Marco Belinelli behind him, and was about to send the basketball to the basket......
Marco Berinelli gritted his teeth and shouted hysterically in his heart: No! Damn! I can't let you score any more!
So, when Anxi jumped up lightly and was about to send the basketball into the basket, Marco Berinelli, who was behind Anxi, stretched out his evil hands...... (To be continued.) )
