Chapter 218: Substitute for Lao Zhan
"Anxi came off the bench, his position is a small forward, and it looks like he is going to play against James. "During this time, CCTV broadcast almost every game of the Spurs, and this game sent a commentary combination of Director Zhang and Sun Zhenping.www.biquge.info
Anxi lifted his pants and walked onto the court, he was indeed opposite James, and now that Leonard has been replaced, he is the only one who can play against James.
After the timeout, the game resumed.
LeBron James took the ball and rushed over, Anxi blocked James with a kick, and the two became entangled as soon as they came up.
James blocked Anxi with one hand, while looking for his teammates out of the corner of his eye, the Heat's new center Chris Anderson was very smart, he knew that James was looking for a pick-and-roll, so he quickly withdrew from the interior and gave James a solid block.
James bypassed Anxi and broke directly through Manuginobili's defense and rushed to the inside.
After rushing to the restricted area, James pressed Ginobili with his strong body to disrupt his steps, and after stepping into the three-second zone, he twisted his shoulders and turned vigorously, just knocking Prince away, and then jumped up, grabbed the ball with one hand and slammed it into the hoop.
At this time, An Xi suddenly jumped out from the side, and a big hand was directly attached to the basketball in James's hand, bang!
LeBron James first felt that his hands were empty, and then his thick fingers felt like they were broken, and then the whole person fell to the ground, lying on the ground and opening his eyes, An Xi was like a giant god, with both hands pulling the frame, standing above him!
"Big hat! As soon as Anxi appeared, James was stunned!" Sun Zhenping shouted, and Director Zhang also said: "Yes, Anxi's defense is good, you see that before Anxi came out, Leonard defended it, and James was like a stake." ”
The fans who watched the live broadcast pouted, and Director Zhang's words were biased, and it can only be said that Leonard's defensive effect is average, and it is not enough to pass the stake.
The basketball flew out of the baseline, or the Heat's possession, James wrinkled his whole body, and asked for the ball from Chris Anderson, who served from the baseline.
His offense adjusted quickly, and although there was little time for this offense, James still made a strong break and rushed into the interior to make a layup. Anxi's defense is in place, but it still can't be prevented.
James hit the block ball back, and the Heat overtook the score, but the score was always up and down, the Spurs' offense was not fast, but it was very stable, and Patrick Mills and Ginobili, who also came off the bench, came to a match, and after attracting most of the Heat's defense, they gave the ball to Duncan on the inside, Duncan dunked, and the Spurs overtook the score.
Then the Heat's offense, Wade brought the ball to the frontcourt, and James stood up to Anxi and asked for the ball with his open hand.
Wade quickly passed the ball out, Anxi posted a little farther, he had to guard against James's breakthrough, James's breakthrough, the first step was very fast, faster than Anxi, Anxi's speed is relatively fast in the league, but compared to James, the speed of the two can only be said to be comparable, if it is given by James's first step as soon as it comes up, it is really difficult to chase behind.
After taking a step, James also had a good dribble space, he dribbled a few times slowly, and then accelerated and broke through from Anxi's side!
Forced to break through, James relied on his physical fitness, completely ignored Anxi's defense, and rushed towards the inside line with Anxi on his shoulders.
Brute-style breakthrough, James seems to ignore it, but in fact he is still very careful, Anxi's steal is very strong, and the block is even more memorable to James, after all, the last block was dozens of seconds ago.
Rushing to the inside, James made a light layup, the angle was a little strange, as if to avoid An Xi's block, the basketball grazed the edge of the basket and walked to the hoop, and then slowly slid in......
The American Airlines Arena was cheering! There were even fans on the sidelines shouting, "Dog-mother-raiser-San Antonio! None of you can stop James' score!"
Well, James didn't spray trash talk, the fans on the sidelines sprayed, but Anxi also knew that James and Kobe Bryant were two completely different types of people, on the court, Kobe Bryant talked a lot, and James often didn't say a word, and outside the court, Kobe Bryant generally didn't say a word, but James's words increased.
James doesn't talk trash talk, and Anxi doesn't say either, so the two are silent.
On the offensive end, Anxi started his run, a reverse run shook off James, Anxi received a pass from Mills near the right touchline, jumped up, crossed the air, and made a jump shot directly.
"Huh!" like a meteor crossing the sky, the basketball fell straight to the Nets, and Anxi's first jump shot at the beginning was successfully hit!
The Spurs took the lead again, but this time, the Spurs led by two points!
The game continued, and for the next few minutes, the situation on the court was that the Spurs and Heat led back and forth until the end of the first quarter, when the Spurs led by 27:26 and 1 point entered the second quarter.
In the entire first quarter, Anxi's defense of James was not successful, although it was not turned into a stake as Director Zhang said, but James's breakthrough Anxi was almost unguardable, and Anxi didn't care, he knew that even if he couldn't prevent James, at least James used all his strength.
An Xi knew that James's physical strength was not outstanding, so if he continued to play like this, in the second half, James had to shout again: James is tired!
On the offensive end, An Xi's performance was good, playing in the second half of the first quarter, shooting a total of two shots, hitting all of them and scoring 5 points.
In the second quarter, Anxi continued to play, and before the game, Popovich made arrangements: "An, pay more attention to your offensive position in the second quarter, appear in the bottom corner or sideline position, and don't let James appear close to the offensive strong side." ”
The question of the position on the offensive end, Anxi understood as soon as he heard it, this season, the Heat's tactics have indeed changed a lot, David Fitzdale's coming to power has not only made James get the position of the offensive core, but the defensive core of the Heat has also become James, and on the defensive end, James's role is equivalent to the Spurs' Tim Duncan, he needs to constantly make up for the defense, and protect the basket.
But if Anxi uses his range to drag James to the bottom corner or sideline, that is, away from the basket, then it will be difficult for James to make up for the defense, after all, Anxi's three-point shot is deadly, and James does not dare to let go of Anxi.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs replaced the interior starters, with DeJuan Blair and Aaron Baines coming on. On the Heat side, James took Norris Cole, Ray Allen, Rashad Lewis and Haslem in the second quarter. (To be continued.) )
