Chapter 147: Guarding Against Anyone (7/12)

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith criticized Scott Brooks' on-the-spot command, but if they knew that Scott Brooks still hadn't learned his lesson when the command was suspended, then the two major commentators on *** TV would probably roll their eyes speechlessly on the spot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After a pause, Scott Brooks actually did not let Kevin Durant reduce his personal offense, but asked Durant to get back to form as soon as possible, poor Scott Brooks still seems to think that Kevin Durant can score calmly under Anxi's defense, but the status quo is - Anxi is in excellent shape, and Kevin Durant can't get too good scoring opportunities at all.

After the pause, Kevin Durant took the ball directly, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith stared wide-eyed, not knowing what to say, could it be that Kevin Durant was too confident?

The two didn't dare to say anything, for Kevin Durant, a superstar, everything is possible, what if Kevin Durant broke out next? Won't the two of them be slapped in the face? Although Charles Barkley is often slapped in the face, usually his face slap is a joke, this time he and Kenny Smith said so formally, if he wants to be slapped in the face again, it will be embarrassing.

So the two of them fell silent and quietly watched the wave of thunder's attacks.

Still as usual, Anxi stuck on it, interfering with Kevin Durant's dribbling with constant physical confrontation.

Kevin Durant immediately began to adjust his dribbling, one under the crotch and the other behind the dribble. Anxi increased the range of his movements, bypassed Kevin Durant's body, and was ready to pick up the ball.

However, this gave Durant a chance, and Kevin Durant took a step back, one step away from the three-point line, and shot a three-pointer!

Anxi was just about to pick up the ball, so he didn't have time to jump and interfere, and watched the basketball get into the basket and score!

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith looked at each other as if to say, "It's good that I didn't open my mouth just now to continue criticizing Scott Brooks." ”

However, a ball does not mean that Durant has broken through Anxi's defense, Anxi himself is still there to chagrin, just now he made a mistake in principle, the defensive end still can't be impulsive, to prevent every possible offensive way of the opponent.

A minute later, Kevin Durant held the ball again to face Anxi, and as soon as he scored, Kevin Durant was ready to take advantage of the victory and open his scoring account.

Facing Anxi, Kevin Durant began to avoid physical confrontation, and he found that Anxi was consciously looking for physical confrontation in both games, and this kind of high-intensity confrontation was quite unfriendly to Durant, after all, Durant's physical fitness was not as good as Anxi, he was very thin, like a bamboo pole.

Holding the ball and making a few feints, Kevin Durant changed direction with the ball, shook An Xi for a while, then dribbled under his crotch, followed by a change of direction sprint, and cut in from the right side of An Xi at once.

An Xi also turned around, and at the moment when Kevin Durant made a jumper, he snapped and covered the basketball!

Kevin Durant's goal didn't carry over, and Anxi used a big hat behind his back to let Durant know that his defense is everywhere!"

After the block, the basketball flew out of bounds, the Thunder had the ball, and they needed to re-serve.

Anxi jumped a few times in place and looked at Durant quite provocatively, in these two games, Anxi's defense was quite revenge for the regular season.

finally scored a goal, Kevin Durant found that the rhythm quickly changed back, Anxi's defense was still so aggressive, and Kevin Durant couldn't shoot a few shots in a row.

At this time, Scott Brooks really couldn't stand it, and there was another timeout, and he directly replaced Kevin Durant.

But at this time, the first quarter was coming to an end, and the Thunder were already trailing by 16 points, and this saw that a fiasco was coming......

"James, you go on the court, work with Russell, speed up the offensive tempo, and strive to use the fastest speed to drive the point difference back!"

With 2 minutes and 22 seconds left in the first quarter, the Thunder made a substitution, and the Spurs also made a substitution, but Anxi was not replaced, and Popovich gave Anxi a new task.

"Ann, next, if Kevin Durant doesn't play, you go defend Russell Westbrook. In addition, Patrick, you replace Tony, Manu replaces Thiem, Boris goes to the center position, and then the Thunder will definitely speed up the offensive tempo, and we don't have to control the rhythm, play with the rhythm of the Thunder. ”

Then Popovich looked at Anxi again: "An, next you have the heaviest task, defend Russell Westbrook like Kevin Durant, can you do it?"

An Xi nodded: "No problem, coach." ”

When the game restarted, Popovich began to make the most of Anxi's current excellent form, and after Kevin Durant went off, Anxi still stayed on the court.

Russell Westbrook started to get serious, the Spurs didn't keep track of Russell Westbrook before, and they always used Tony Parker to defend Russell Westbrook alone, with the help of the inside line, so they let Russell Westbrook score continuously, and one person shouldered the Thunder's scoring responsibility.

In fact, this is also a strategy of Popovich, after all, no one can beat a team no matter what.

In the face of Anxi's defense, Russell Westbrook knew that this time the Spurs really had to defend him seriously, and when dribbling, Russell Westbrook was cautious.

After dribbling on the outside for a while, Russell Westbrook cut the ball directly, Anxi stuck to it, squeezed Russell Westbrook with his body, with his physical advantage, Anxi made Russell Westbrook uncomfortable everywhere, only rushed to the free throw line, and Westbrook had to stop.

One turned his back to Anxi and then split the ball.

After the break, Westbrook suddenly withdrew from the outside and opened his hand again to ask for the ball.

James Harden, who had just received the ball, immediately returned the pass, and Russell Westbrook shot a jumper directly from the three-point line.

But it's a pity that Anxi's block is in place again, and the basketball hits straight on the rebound, and then bounces out.

Kawhi Leonard jumped to his feet, grabbed the rebound directly, and launched a wave of fast attacks as Popovich commanded.

rushed to the front court and distributed the ball to the faster Patrick Mills, who scored on a layup and the Spurs further widened the difference...... (To be continued.) )
