Chapter 51: Suppression of Strength (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Popovich was unhappy with his team's performance since the first half of the game, and he blew a gust of wind before moving on to the set-up. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
"Now the 76ers are playing with us with their momentum, using their momentum to break through our defense and offense, and if they can play with this momentum, why can't you? Take all your strength and use your offense and defense to defeat them! ”
"The 76ers' style of play is to play fast and break fast, we have to continue to control the tempo, we must slow down the rhythm, Kehuai, on the defensive end, you go to limit Anxi, Tim, pay attention to protect your penalty area, and Tony, pass the ball and pass the ball, you must pass the best chance."
……
At the end of the timeout, the Spurs did not make substitutions and continued to play with all their strength, while the 76ers replaced Evan Turner and replaced Jack Crowder to further strengthen the team's outside defense, and Brett Brown now has higher ambitions, he wants to lead the team to win this game, and he wants to continue to maintain the team's defense in the first half of the quarter.
"The Spurs didn't make any substitutions, and the 76ers brought on Jack Crowder, who defended better, and the purpose was already obvious, they were going to strengthen their defense and stay ahead." Charles Barkley said after glancing at Jack Lauder, who was wearing the number 99 jersey.
Jack Crowder came on, and the 76ers' defense changed again, and Jack Crowder directly stuck to Kawhi Leonard, and his task was to completely lock up Leonard.
Anxi's departure has made the Spurs' scoring points more dispersed, and among the main players, the scoring is concentrated in the hands of Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker, so it can be considered that specific targets can be found in the specific arrangement.
Jack Crowder's defense is very good, Anxi knows this very well, and now, Kawhi Leonard also understands it, he went around to a 45-degree angle to receive the ball, and after taking the ball, he was blocked by Jack Crowder's perfect defensive position.
Kawhi Leonard cut through Jack Crowder's defense and had to re-distribute the ball.
Tony Parker followed Popovich's arrangement and arrangement, constantly cutting into the ball, and finally spent the last 3 seconds, Tony Parker shook off McCarvey's defense, shot a shot, and hit with a bang.
After the timeout, the Spurs scored quickly, their offense played more patiently, and Tony Parker hit a mid-range shot in the last few seconds, and the Spurs finally lifted the scoring drought.
The Spurs lifted the scoring drought, and on the defensive end, Kowhi Leonard also faced Anxi, and there was a cheer at the Wajovia Arena, which was the scene they wanted to see.
Anxi also wants to see this scene, if Anxi left the Spurs to join the 76ers in order to find a main position or core position of his own, then it is Kowhi Leonard who prevents Anxi from getting the main position or core position.
Compared with Anxi, Leonard has also improved every year, this season, compared with last season, Leonard's three points are more accurate, and there are a lot more personal offensive means, as well as a card frame version of the emergency stop jump shot, although the action frame, but the stability of the score is still quite high.
Defensively, Leonard's progress is also quite obvious, with a hand of death entanglement that is a little stronger than when he guided Anxi death winding, and often one-on-one defense when defending against each other to snatch the basketball in the opponent's hand.
And the increase in experience on the defensive end has made Leonard the most efficient outside single defense player this season.
As soon as Anxi passed the half, Kawhi Leonard wrapped up with Anxi, but fortunately, Anxi hadn't got the ball yet, otherwise Kawhi Leonard, who has always been very competitive, would have made a death-winding move against Anxi.
McCarvey controlled the ball from the outside, Anxi turned to a no-ball state, he beckoned Thaddeus Young to give him a cover, and then rushed to the bottom corner.
Kawhi Leonard is like a net, netting Anxi to the death, even after Anxi and Thaddeus Young came to a screen, Wwhi Leonard still followed, but the cover is two-way, Anxi got cover, Thaddeus Young also got cover, Tim Duncan needs to guard the inside, so after the cover, Thaddeus Young shook off all the defenders, and received McCarvey's pass in the middle distance.
Then, with a clear bang, the basketball hit the basket.
Thaddeus Young scored two points, and the margin remained.
The fans were a little disappointed not to see Anxi vs Kowhi Leonard, but they still cheered on Thaddeus Young's goal.
The game continued, the Spurs scored again, Tony Parker's throw scored 2 points, and then, the 76ers missed the offense, McCarvey missed the shot, the Spurs narrowed the difference, and the game unconsciously entered the rhythm of the Spurs.
Then, the much-anticipated Anxi singled out Kowai Leonard appeared, Anxi held the ball on the outside, Leonard tried to steal twice, but failed, he quickly gave up the steal and turned to staring seriously at Anxi's center of gravity.
Unlike Danny Green's mouthful of trash talk or provocations, Leonard's defense is silent, and he stares at Anxi with a kind of mad look, if a silent rattlesnake, waiting for Anxi's attack.
"A direct confrontation between Anxi and Kawhi Leonard!"
Anxi controlled the ball from the outside, dribbled slowly under his crotch twice, and seemed to be waiting for something, but in the next second, Anxi's feet stepped on the floor in a hurry, and he moved!
Vajovia then let out an exclamation, and Anxi took the fastest first step, directly passing by Kowhi Leonard and shaking off Leonard!
"Anxi! He's in! ”
Leonard hurriedly turned around to chase after the defense, and in the process of turning, the sneakers and the floor made a rapid friction sound, and with a bang, Leonard had already reflexively chased after him.
An Xi quickly took a few steps towards the three-point line, observed Leonard who was chasing after him with his peripheral vision, and with another bang, An Xi's feet rubbed heavily on the floor, and he stopped suddenly!
Kowai Leonard rushed over, and immediately saw An Xi who jumped out of his hand, he turned around sharply again, jumped high, and stretched out his long arm to block An Xi's face.
"Click!" Photojournalists on the sidelines captured this classic scene......
Bang, Anxi's pull-up jump shot hit the iron, and Kowhi Leonard used his extremely resilient defense to prevent Anxi's singles!
An Xi's pull-up jump shot didn't score, and the Spurs seized the opportunity and scored on the counterattack, and the difference was further narrowed.
Then, after three rounds in a row, the 76ers failed to score, McCarvey, Thaddeus Young and Anxi's shots missed one after another, and the Spurs seized the opportunity to continue to narrow the gap, and soon, the score became 21:18, and the 76ers only led by 3 points.
The Spurs finally showed their old side, seizing the 76ers' mistakes and attacking several waves in a row to directly knock the disadvantage back.
Brett Brown clasped his hands to his chest, and did not mean to call a timeout.
On the court, the 76ers' offense, An Xi was in a horizontal heart, asked for the ball directly in the backcourt, and accelerated to the front court with the ball.
Wave your teammates to pull away, singles!
With the team scoreless in a row, Anxi chose to continue playing singles, and this time, he still had to face Kawhi Leonard.
"The confrontation between Anxi and Kowai Leonard, Anxi tries to break through!"
"Break through the middle! Kehuai stopped him! ”
"Turn around and continue to break through!"
"Continue to break through along the left side, take a big stride, and step into the inside !!"
"Tough on the defensive! Can you enter? ”
……
The next second, Kenny Smith clapped his hands and shouted, "It's in!" Entered! At the critical moment, Anxi stood up and hit a 2-point shot! The 76ers regained a five-point lead. ”
On the court, An Xi raised his hand and accepted the cheers of the 76ers fans.
"Well done, Ann!"
"Keep scoring! Defeat them! ”
There were also some fan shouts on the sidelines, and An Xi's goal finally released their depression in these few rounds.
After Kowai Leonard defended Anxi's two attacks in a row, this time he finally failed to prevent it, and Anxi also strengthened his confidence, and he decided to continue to beat Leonard.
The Spurs' offense, Tony Parker's layup and then the difference, the difference is still 3 points.
Then, in the last minute of the first quarter, Anxi singled Leonard with the ball, and hit a back-to-back jumper after his back to score another 2 points!
Immediately after, Kawhi Leonard's layup was chased by Jack Crowder in a big hat, but Tony Parker grabbed the basketball that was rolling around and hit a jumper.
On the last ball of the first quarter, Anxi singled Leonard and turned over for a jumper.
In this way, at the end of the first quarter, the 76ers maintained a 3-point lead, and Anxi, under the defense of Kawhi Leonard, hit three irons in a row at the end of the first quarter, and finally scored 15 points in the first quarter, which was still a performance that carried the team forward on his shoulders.
However, in the second half of the first quarter, the 76ers have already shown some decline, and the point difference was quickly narrowed by the Spurs, and the offense on the court can only rely on Anxi's personal singles.
So in the second quarter, when An Xi did not play, the Spurs' bench quickly smoothed out the 3-point difference, but overtook it.
Brett Brown took the game more seriously than ever before, and when Manuginobili hit two consecutive three-pointers to extend the Spurs' lead to six, Brett Brown replaced Anxi, who had just rested for three minutes.
However, the more spicy Popovich quickly replaced Kowhi Leonard, and Anxi fell under Leonard's defensive siege again.
As a result, Anxi's offensive efficiency was not as high as he imagined, scoring one goal and hitting one iron goal, playing for five or six minutes, the score difference did not narrow, but opened to 10 points.
The Spurs' suppression of the 76ers' strength has gradually been reflected, especially the suppression of the bench.
Anxi also faced Marco Berinelli, who replaced him, and Anxi had to admit that this scoring guard from Italy has two brushes, and at least one hand is very accurate, which is very suitable for Spurs' tactics.
In this way, after halftime, the Spurs entered the break with a 14-point lead, and Anxi scored 27 points at halftime, and this game is likely to score another high score. (To be continued.) )
