Tony Parker dribbled the ball through the half, and the AT&T arena sounded cheering shouts, in the Spurs' tactics, rhythm is a very important part, playing the Grizzlies, the Spurs' rhythm is fast, and in the face of the Thunder, Popovich asked Tony Parker to control the rhythm and slow down the rhythm.

So, Tony Parker held the ball and rubbed outside the three-point line for a while before he accelerated and began to break through.
Anxi quickly mentioned the position of the free throw line and made a pick-and-roll cover for Tony Parker, and then the two ran back to each other, and there was an opportunity, Tony Parker passed the ball to Anxi in turn, Anxi stepped on the three-point line at this time, and Kevin Durant pounced.
An Xi adjusted unhurriedly, took a step back, and threw a three-pointer at the beginning!
Basketball perfectly drilled into the basket, 3 points!
An electronic synthesized scream rang out in the arena, followed by a huge cheer that resounded throughout the AT&T arena.
……
Russell Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt, and Kevin Durant took a step away from Anxi with the help of a screen to get the ball from Russell Westbrook.
The three-threat action faced Anxi's single defense, but with the ball in both hands, Kevin Durant hid the basketball in his arms, obviously did his homework, Anxi averaged 3 steals per game in the series against the Grizzlies, and got 6 steals in the final game.
When Durant faced Anxi with the ball, he became very cautious, held the ball in his arms, beckoned Kendrick Perkins to block and dismantle, and then began to dribble, a sideways skimming past Kendrick Perkins, Anxi was blocked by the strong Perkins, and followed closely behind Kevin Durant.
Durant didn't rush a few steps, and seeing that Kawhi Leonard's reinforcement was about to arrive, he made an emergency stop and was about to shoot.
An Xi pounced directly, opened his hand to block Kevin Durant's shooting angle, shot the shot, and with a bang, he didn't go in.
The Thunder were without Sergi Ibaka, Kevin Durant and Kendrick Perkins were all pulled out, the interior line was empty, and Tim Duncan took the rebound in his arms with a big hand.
The Spurs didn't take advantage of the opportunity to break fast, they still slowed down, and Tim Duncan waited a while to give the ball to Tony Parker to control the frontcourt.
Tony Parker made a gesture that the Spurs were going to play the No. 2 strategy, and after a quick pull, Tony Parker cut in with the ball.
Anxi came around from the other side, and Kevin Durant followed closely behind.
Tony Parker's cut was cut off by the Thunder's defense, and the French sports car immediately passed, and An Xi, who went around to the top of the arc, received the basketball, he didn't stop for a moment, and before Kevin Durant could catch up, he directly received the basketball, and rushed in with a crotch dribble.
After a few dribbles, Anxi rushed to the free throw line, Kevin Durant didn't catch up, and the Thunder's supplements on both sides rushed over.
Anxi didn't hesitate, stepped on the free throw line and made a jumper, and with a bang, it went in again!
At the beginning, Anxi actually scored 5 points in a row, which surprised many people.
Because the playoffs have reached the stage of the Eastern and Western finals, there is only one game left to broadcast every day, so the first game of the Thunder vs. Spurs, CCTV broadcast it, and the commentary combination they sent was still guided by Yu Jia and Zhang.
For Anxi to get all 5 points on the Spurs' side at the beginning, Director Zhang sighed, and then said: "Today's Anxi is a bit unusual! The opening score was 5 points in a row, a three-point and a free throw line shot, if it weren't for this face, I thought this was Durant going to the Spurs!"
Yu Jia smiled: "Director Zhang is joking, but this also shows one thing, that is, Anxi has made great progress, you see, this has only been in the NBA for one season, and there are all the shots." ”
The two of them didn't mention Anxi's praise for the time being, and on the field, just as the two were talking, another round of one attack and one defense ended.
On the Thunder's side, Russell Westbrook's ball broke through, and after the ball, Daquin Cook made a three-point shot and successfully hit it to help the Thunder equalize the score.
Then, the Spurs' Tim Duncan hit a trademark 45-degree shot from a 45-degree angle to give the Spurs another two-point lead.
Then, the Thunder attacked again, Russell Westbrook carried the ball to the frontcourt, and the arena rang out with the shout of "Defense".
Anxi's opponent is still Kevin Durant, Durant didn't hesitate much after getting the ball, after a probe step, he broke through directly from Anxi's right side and rushed to the three-point line, Kevin Durant stopped, aimed at the basket, and jumped on the spot.
Anxi's block was also timely, the basketball flew to the basket, hit the basket on the neck, bounced twice on the hoop, and finally didn't score.
Kevin Durant burst into a foul mouth and didn't score again, and under Anxi's defense, he has missed two consecutive balls.
It was the Spurs' turn to attack, and Anxi was in excellent shape on the offensive end, and Anxi was valued by his teammates, Tony Parker chose to cooperate with Anxi, and the two completed a cross run at the top of the arc, and after Tony Parker ran back, he handed the basketball to Anxi.
And the Thunder changed defenses because of this cross-run, and the Thunder player who defended Anxi became Russell Westbrook, and this defensive alignment can be regarded as a big fight to a certain extent, although Anxi is not much taller than Russell Westbrook.
Anxi dribbled the ball a few times on the spot, and then the Spurs' second cover arrived, Boris Dio mentioned the high position, giving Anxi a flawless blocking and dismantling cover, and Anxi rushed to the mid-range position with the help of cover.
Suddenly stopped, and then, in a somewhat lame-looking position, threw his hand!
The posture was ugly and trembling, but the basketball still obediently got into the hoop!
"It's in again, Anxi's 7th point! He really became Kevin Durant today!" Seeing Anxi hit another mid-range shot, Director Zhang couldn't help but exclaim.
At this time, Greg Popovich on the sidelines was also very surprised, to say that Anxi's first shot, Popovich also thought that it might be Anximeng's, and now look at Anxi's second shot, although the posture is very ugly, but the accuracy seems to have improved a lot.
Popovich said with a smile: "Ann's mid-range shooting seems to be improving again. ”
Chipengelland, who was sitting behind Popovich, also chimed in: "Yes, Ann has been practicing mid-range shooting lately, as if it was Jeff Hornacek's guidance. ”
Popovich smiled with satisfaction, Anxi's mid-range shooting accuracy is there, and the Spurs' offense can improve again.
The game continued, as Coach Zhang said, Anxi seemed to have become Kevin Durant in this game, scoring again and again, and after the first quarter, Anxi hit another three-pointer and a mid-range shot, scoring 12 points in the entire first quarter, while the Spurs only scored 27 points as a team.
Perhaps because he poured too much energy into the offensive end, Kevin Durant slowly found his touch, after missing two consecutive shots in the opening game, Durant missed two consecutive shots, and then found his shooting touch, at the end of the first quarter, Kevin Durant shot 3 of 9 and scored 8 points.
