Chapter 206: Losing is not losing
"Huh!"
The crisp sound of wiping the net was refreshing, but the Spurs fans showed endless disappointment, and they still couldn't prevent Anxi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The step-back jumper, this move is so invincible, they seem to have seen Kobe Bryant in his prime that year, playing the role of a spur killer in the West, and now, this Mamba Snake has gone to the East, and they meet again in the Finals......
A-for-tat step-back jumper, An Xi shot very resolutely, and the basketball scored very resolutely, and this goal also kept the score difference at 5 points.
The game continued in the second quarter, Anxi scored consecutive points or assists, and played in the second half of the second quarter, with the Spurs' substitution, Brett Brown also replaced Anxi off the court.
And until the end of the first half, the 76ers were leading the Spurs, 51:46, the 76ers led the Spurs by 5 points, obviously, Anxi's hot state in this game helped the 76ers win a 5-point lead in the first half.
At halftime, the 76ers were in the lead, which many people didn't expect, and for the 76ers, the situation seemed to be a good thing.
After a 15-minute half-time break, the main players of both teams regained their energy, and at the beginning of the second half, both teams were the main players.
At the beginning of the game, the Spurs had the ball, and Tony Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and then passed the basketball into the interior and into the hands of Tim Duncan.
Duncan leaned his back on Pau Gasol and turned to shoot the basketball.
With a bang, the basketball slammed into the rebound, and then with another bang, it bounced into the basket.
The Spurs scored at the beginning, the ball came to the 76ers, McCarvey controlled the ball over the half, and the first ball of the second half, Anxi also played without the ball.
He raced out from the baseline, bypassed Pau Gasol's cover and took a direct shot after McCarvey's pass.
But at this time, Danny Green made up for it and interfered with An Xi's shot at the most opportune time.
With a bang, Anxi's shot hit the iron, and the rebound was grabbed by Duncan.
The Spurs quickly began to counterattack, and Popovich was well aware of the weaknesses of the 76ers, and they suddenly picked up speed in the second half.
After a burst of accelerated counterattack, Tony Parker quickly advanced to the front court with the ball, rushed to the inside from the middle, attracted the defense, passed a pass to the other side outside the three-point line, Kowhi Leonard received the ball and jumped directly, with a bang, and hit a three-point shot.
In the opening wave of 5:0 in the third quarter, the Spurs directly equalized the point difference!
At this time, McCarvey held the ball, Anxi continued to run without the ball, and after a burst of empty cutting and pulling space, Pau Gasol got a chance to shoot in the middle of the game, and finally opened the scoring for the 76ers in the second half.
However, the Spurs also quickly returned to color, and Tony Parker suddenly accelerated, flew into the restricted area, and scored a layup.
The game was in a stalemate, the Spurs' offense was already doing well, and the 76ers were also constantly having opportunities in the presence of Anxi.
The game lasted until the fifth minute of the third quarter, when Brett Brown called a timeout, and the two teams were tied at 63-63, and Brett Brown's timeout was clearly hoping to make a change and break the current deadlock.
Anxi, who scored 30 points in the first half, did not score much in the second half, and only scored 4 points after playing 5 minutes, but Anxi's role in the second half cannot be ignored, whether it is with or without the ball, Anxi is the focus of attention of the Spurs on the defensive end.
However, although there were not many points in the second half, with 30 points in the first half of the finals, Anxi still attracted a certain degree of attention.
The NBA Finals halftime scoring record is 35 points held by Michael Jordan, and Anxi is only 5 points short of being able to tie Michael Jordan.
As for the comparison between Anxi and Kawhi Leonard, many people also think that there should be an ending.
"30 points in the half, Anxi's scoring ability is too strong, especially this is still a playoffs!And so far, Kowai Leonard has scored 14 points, Anxi has scored 34 points, the difference between the two individual scores is 20 points, not a level at all, this game Kowai Leonard's defense is terrible, the offense has occasional bright spots, overall, it is completely crushed by Anxi......"
Obviously, in his opinion, the fans who boasted before the game that Kowhi Leonard could not attack Anxi on the offensive end, and Anxi who could defend on the defensive end was very embarrassed, and he had been deeply slapped in the face by Anxi's performance in this game.
In this game, Kawhi Leonard's defense failed to show at all, but the offense played quite well, supporting the Spurs' offense for a certain period of time.
But obviously, compared with Anxi, who supported most of the game, the gap is still too big.
"Anxi only scored 4 points in the second half, which is related to the defense of the Spurs, in the second half the Spurs significantly strengthened the defense of Anxi, Anxi can only choose to continue to pass and assist, but combined with Anxi's performance in the first half, now he, even if he is a single GDP three old, may be able to do it without inferiority, after all, the score has been scorching now......"
Another group of heated discussions before the game, the comparison between Anxi and the three elders of GDP, even if it was a hardcore Anmi, before the game, they didn't dare to say that Anxi could carry the three elders of GDP alone, but when the game really started, they found that Anxi really carried the three elders of GDP.
This Anxi hardcore named xx god can't wait to announce that Anxi has singled out the three elders of GDP.
However, in China, the game between the 76ers and the Spurs cannot set off more saliva, on the one hand, the Spurs are too low-key, and there is not much saliva in itself, on the other hand, as the only Chinese superstar in the NBA, Anxi's performance this season is so good and amazing, and now Anxi's fan support in China is unprecedented, which is equivalent to Liu Xiang, who just won the 110-meter hurdles at the Athens Olympics, and there is only support on the screen.
Soon, the pause ended, and the fans hurriedly ended the discussion on the forum and continued to watch this exciting game.
After the timeout, the 76ers really started to work hard.
Anxi ran without the ball, McCarvey passed, and after receiving the ball, Anxi faced Kowhi Leonard, who came later, and after dribbling under his crotch two times in a row, he pulled out his hand in the surprised eyes of everyone.
A two-pointer, Kawhi Leonard stretched out his long arm to interfere.
But in the next second, with a bang, the basketball fell into the net, and it still went in!
This was Anxi's sixth point in the third quarter, and when he came back from the pause, Anxi's desire to attack suddenly came up.
But soon, the Spurs were still in color, they still played the same way, speeding up and fast attacking, Kawhi Leonard cut to the basket, received the ball three steps and made two steps, jumped up on the inside, clanged, and came to Omir Asik with a violent dunk.
Then, with the help of their speed advantage, the Spurs played consecutive counterattacks, and after playing a wave of 4:0, they overtook the score and widened the difference.
And at this time, it was still Anxi, he quickly controlled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt, and the outside line was directly pulled up, and it was a three-point shot directly!
With a bang, the crisp sound of wiping the net sounded, which made Spurs fans a little incredulous, under the strict defense of the Spurs, Anxi could only throw some similar difficult balls, but Anxi could still score!
After this goal was scored, the difference was only 1 point.
However, it is obvious that in the second half, the Spurs began to exert their strength, and Anxi's three points could only be regarded as helping the 76ers stop the bleeding a little, and the score was inevitably pulled away by the Spurs.
However, under the forced leadership of Anxi, the gap between the two teams does not seem to be so big.
By the end of the third quarter, the score was 79-73, with the Spurs winning by 11 points in the quarter, and the 76ers trailing the Spurs by six points before the start of the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter, the Spurs opened with another 5-0 offensive wave, expanding the difference to double digits in one fell swoop.
And then, Anxi's strength could not help the 76ers to chase back the 11 points behind, because the Spurs were too stable, and when they were ahead, the success rate of the Spurs starting to play on the offensive end actually stopped the pace of rapid offense, which made the 76ers lose the opportunity to tie the score, because time was consumed happier......
In the end, the Spurs defeated the 76ers on their home court by 109-101, 8 points, and won their first Finals victory, and they were one step closer to a three-in-a-row championship......
The 76ers lost the game, but Anxi was on fire, because in the first Finals game he led the team alone, he cut a 43 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks...... (To be continued.) )
