Chapter 208: Duel Super Six

The game started quickly, and Popovich stood on the sidelines, silently watching the offense and defense of the team and the Clippers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although Anxi was puzzled that he suddenly became a substitute, he didn't care too much, the difference between the Spurs' starting substitutes was originally very small, and Popovich insisted on rotating play, it was not impossible for Anxi to suddenly come to the bench.

On the court, the Spurs and Clippers without Anxi started to attack, and at the beginning of the game, Tony Parker assisted Danny Green to hit a three-pointer, and Green's first start of the season got off to a good start.

Griffin quickly returned to the mid-range shot, and the two teams played to the middle of the first quarter, and the Spurs led by five points at 15:10.

Things looked good and the Spurs were on their way to a five-game winning streak, but just then, Del Nigro called a timeout and brought on Jamal Crawford.

As soon as Keliu came out, the Clippers' offense reached a perfect state, Chris Paul at the point guard position is a master of passing and rhythm, Jamal Crawford on the scoring guard can shoot from the outside and is also a threat with air cuts, Caron Butler at the small forward position is a wing scorer who can catch the ball and shoot, Blake Griffin at the power forward position has developed a mid-range shot and an open connection with Paul, DeAndre Jordan at the center position can also complete the air receiving cooperation, and Jordan Jr. can protect the rebound very well……

So, as soon as Crawford played, the Clippers' offense was alive, with many outside offensive points, and the Spurs had some difficulty defending, and the score was chased back by the Clippers at once, and the difference was slowly expanded.

In the final two minutes of the first quarter, the Spurs trailed by eight points at 22:30, and during the timeout, Popovich chose to substitute.

"Manu, you come on for Tony, guest point guard, Ann, you come out for Kowy, play at shooting guard, Aaron, you come out, replace Thiem, play center. ”

Popovich made three substitutions in succession, and the lineup on the court became point guard Manu, scoring guard Anxi, small forward Danny Green, power forward Boris Dio, and center Aaron Baines. Compared to the indifference on everyone's faces, Aaron Baines was a little excited, this was his regular season debut for the Spurs, and he had only played in the preseason before, and his performance was not bad.

Anxi finally appeared, and the two commentators breathed a sigh of relief on the CCTV five sets that broadcast the game.

"Anxi finally played, he came off the bench in this game, and now the Spurs are eight points behind, let's see if Anxi's appearance can make a difference for the Spurs. Director Zhang broadcast the situation on the court, and Yu Jia on the side also said: "Popovich let Anxi play as a substitute wonder, eight points behind, and look at the position, it should be opposite Crawford, in the previous game, Crawford played 5 minutes, scored 10 points on 3 of 4 shots, and was in hot shape." ”

Anxi's opponent is indeed Jamal Crawford, and the Clippers' lead began with Crawford.

As soon as they get on the court, it's the Spurs' offensive round first.

Jamal Crawford stands in front of Anxi, defending Anxi, for Jamal Crawford, Anxi also has a certain understanding, Keliu is one of the strongest sixth men in the league, his perimeter shooting is accurate, the breakthrough is also very good, the ball is strong, and there is a certain organizational ability, but the overall situation is average, and the offensive performance is convulsive, sometimes good and sometimes bad.

The performance on the defensive end was inconsistent and the defense was almost negligible.

So, in this game, Anxi wants to attack!

Manu broke through with the ball, and although he was covered by Aaron Baines, he broke through to the three-point line and was still caught by Matt Barnes and Chris Paul.

Matt Barnes assisted in the defense, Danny Green hurriedly ran out of the vacancy, and at this time, Crawford, who was defending Anxi, rushed to make up for Danny Green, and Danny Green had already shot two three-pointers in this game, and the state was still very hot.

At this time, Anxi was actually let go by the clipper, so Anxi decisively went around to the weak side and stood at a 45-degree angle!

The basketball flew over, and Manu's pass was still so timely.

Vacant Anxi!

A scream rang out at Staples Arena!Last season's three-point champion...... Anxi ...... He received the basketball in the open spot!

It's a three-pointer!

Swish!

"Anxi's empty three points never missed!" Yu Jia cheered loudly!

"The ball is in!"

At 25:30, the difference was suddenly reduced to 5 points, but the next defense was still very important.

Missing Anxi and letting Anxi shoot a three-pointer, Jamal Crawford had a cold face and came to the offensive end.

"Boy, your three points just now are beautiful, but next, my three points will be even more beautiful than yours!"

Trash talk again, An Xi glanced at Crawford, he wouldn't use trash talk to provoke others, but it didn't mean that he would let others keep provoking himself with trash talk.

So, Anxi stared at Crawford, and Crawford will not have any chance in the next ball!

Boom...... Boom......

Chris Paul dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, and did not pass or shoot for a long time, the NBA has a statistic, called the ball possession rate, Chris Paul's ball possession rate is above 30 all year round, ranking among the top three in the league.

However, what Anxi knows is that Chris Paul's style of play allows players who are good at catch-and-shoot to play more beautiful statistics under Paul, such as Jamal Crawford.

Chris Paul controlled the ball as the rest of the Clippers began to gallop to create open spots.

However, Paul was not idle, he began to increase the frequency of his dribbles, and then brushed past Manu in one step and cut into the ...... with the ball

Jamal Crawford ran to the bottom corner, then another forward loop to the top of the arc, Anxi was a step slower, and Crawford raised his hands high for the ball.

The Clippers didn't have a better chance, either Paul forced a layup or passed the ball to Crawford, who created an opening, so the pass-oriented Paul chose to pass.

Crawford at the top of the arc receives a pass and shoots the ball when he catches it!

An Xi pounced on him violently!

The basketball goes off track and ends up popping out of the box!

Didn't go in!

An Xi turned around and let out a sneer: "Ha, it's really beautiful!"

With a blushing face, Jamal Crawford returned to the defensive end and stared at Anxi.

But this level of defense has no effect on Anxi at all, Anxi took a quick step, rushed from Crawford's side to the penalty area, and then through Baines's cover, straight to the bottom corner, Crawford was thrown far away, he accelerated to the bottom corner, for fear that Anxi would make another empty three-point shot in the bottom corner!

But at this time, the witty Anxi directly ran back and went around to the forbidden area!

When Crawford, who couldn't stop the car, turned his head, he could only see Anxi receiving the basketball and making a layup on the spot!

"It's Anxi again! 2-point hit! Spurs further narrowed the difference!"

At 27:30, there was only a 3-point gap left. (To be continued.) )
