After the pause, Anxi was indeed not replaced, but his counterpoint was replaced, from against Jr Smith to against Carmelo Anthony, because Popovich chose to replace Manuginobili, and then asked Anxi to put more energy into defending Anthony. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Well, it seems that with Ginobili, Popovich is going to improve the current offensive disadvantage, let Anxi pay more attention to defense, which means that Anxi will not be allowed to score more points, and the burden of scoring can be handed over to Ginobili.

After the timeout, J.R. Smith was alive because he finally got rid of Anxi's defense.

A reverse run to catch the ball, the new Jason Kidd passed the ball over, and J.R. Smith hit a three-point shot to help the Knicks regain the lead by 2 points!

J.R. Smith, who hit a three-pointer, looked a little arrogant, and he raised the scorer and waved wildly, provoking the Knicks home fans to cheer and scream wildly.

The atmosphere came out, but soon, the new Manu quickly extinguished the fiery atmosphere with a mid-shot.

Then, Manu took over on the offensive end, and in the next few minutes, Anxi scored another three-pointer, but Anxi's role on the offensive end was not much.

Manu's appearance revitalized the Spurs' offense, and soon, it didn't take Anxi to maintain this offensive performance, and Popovich also felt that Anxi's 36 points were a lot, so he took advantage of the dead ball and replaced Anxi.

Kawhi Leonard came on, and Tony Parker also followed, but then, the Spurs didn't pull the score as they wanted, and the scores of the two teams continued to rise alternately, and the Knicks still had a slight lead overall.

It can only be said that the Spurs' defense did not do well in this game, allowing Carmelo Anthony to get too many opportunities.

In the last two minutes of the game, Manuginobili's mid-range shot equalized the score, but then, it was Anthony, who had already scored 41 points, and in the face of Leonard's defense, he hit another back-to-back single, turning and hitting a jumper!

The Knicks once again led by two points.

Then Tony Parker and J.R. Smith each hit irons, and the difference was still two points.

With a minute left in the game, Popovich went straight to the sideline and called a timeout.

In a minute, it was the final battle, and Popovich had to think carefully about how to play the last few balls.

Looking at the main players who came down from the field, Popovich swept around the bench again...... When he saw An Xi, he paused, An Xi was in a good state today, and the three points were almost nothing.

Kawhi Leonard was not in good shape on the offensive end, but he could have been replaced, but in this way, the rebounding protection was poor again, so Popovich looked at Aaron Baines again and had an idea in his heart.

There wasn't much time to pause, and Popovich clapped his hands: "Okay, let's do it as soon as possible, change people first, Ann, Aaron, you guys play, replace Boris and Kowai, and then we play a regular tactic, spend 24 seconds, play the success rate, don't care about scoring!"

Popovich simply arranged it and didn't say how to play, but for the Spurs, their tactical routines are like a cow's hair, and it is better not to have a specific arrangement.

Anxi re-played, and Yu Jia and Su Qun in the CCTV live broadcast room also hurriedly regained their attention: "Anxi is back on the field, it seems that this game is in good shape, and at the end of the game, the Spurs still have to rely on Anxi's excellent state." ”

"That's right, the current situation on the court is that the Knicks are still leading by 2 points, and the Spurs are very much in need of Anxi's three-point firepower. ”

Anxi walked on, the game restarted, the sideline served Manu, Anxi mentioned the middle distance, and Parker made a catch-and-cover screen.

Through the screen, Parker easily received the basketball, then faced the basket and began to dribble slowly.

Popovich said that it would be better to use 24 seconds, so the Spurs' offense was not too rushed.

Anxi ran back, Manu cut in, and although the offense hadn't started yet, the Spurs' running had already begun.

Aaron Baines is still very qualified as a meat shield, standing near the free throw line and directly giving Manu a high-quality pick-and-roll screen.

Manu cut in the air, ran out of the vacancy, at this critical moment, Jr Smith leaked! So Anthony, who was defending Anxi, immediately made up for it, if he didn't make up for it, this is a big loophole!

Anthony yelled at J.R. Smith as he made up the defense, "Go make up the defense!"

Anxi's side was empty, he watched Jr Smith run over to make up for the defense, Anxi was not in a hurry, his feet landed on the ground, his body leaned forward, Jr Smith just ran in front of Anxi, Anxi suddenly exerted his strength, ran directly back, and swept past J.R. Smith!

J.R. Smith was directly stunned, what is the situation!

Then he turned his head and saw that Anxi was already in the bottom corner, unguarded! Parker's pass had also arrived!

"Anxi! Three points in the empty seat!" Yu Jia shouted!

"This is a great opportunity!" Su Qun also shouted.

Anxi was already standing in mid-air at the Madison Square Garden Arena, and at this moment, countless eyes in the arena were looking at Anxi.

"Anxi's empty three points never missed!" At this time, Yu Jia suddenly took a mouthful of poisoned milk......

When the basketball flew to the basket, it was about to go off, and there were sporadic cheers on the sidelines......

But then, the basketball hit the rebound, and it bounced off the basket!

"Entered! still entered!" Yu Jia shouted excitedly, and Yu Jia almost thought that he would not enter.

The audience began to boo, and the Knicks fans, who were about to cheer just now, came back in one breath. On the court, An Xi stood on the sideline, stretched out his long arm and pointed to the basket, as if to say: I can only go in!

Beep, another timeout, but this time it was the Knicks who called, because now it's the Spurs leading, and the Spurs are one point ahead with 42 seconds left.

"Next, let's play like this......" Mike Woodson began to lay out the next key shot, "Melo holds the ball to attract the defense, puts the ball in this position, and hands it to Smith Jr. to make the last shot!"

Anthony, who had scored 54 points in this game, frowned, and then interrupted directly: "Wait, Mike, don't be so complicated, leave it to me! Give me the ball! I will solve everything!"

The words were very domineering, Mike Woodson remembered that Larry Bird had said this, but Mike Woodson didn't think that Anthony could have as much ability and control as Larry Bird, so he hesitated to refuse: "Mero, you ......"

"Okay, no more talk, it's all up to me, I think we need a quick attack even more!"

……

After the timeout, Anxi continued to play, and in order to strengthen the defense, Popovich replaced Leonard and Manu.

So the Spurs' on-court lineup became a defensive lineup, and Anxi faced Carmelo Anthony.
