Chapter 145: Winning the First Battle (5/12, Asking for Subscriptions, Asking for Monthly Passes)

At halftime, the Spurs sat quietly in the home team's locker room to rest, and Popovich had nothing to decorate, so the home team's locker room was quiet and peaceful. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the away team's locker room, Scott Brooks's excited roars kept coming out, and as a head coach with no tactical on-the-spot adaptability, Scott Brooks was good at that.

Scott Brooks is very good at developing rookies, and he is also very good at chicken soup, so at halftime, in the face of a 10-point deficit, Scott Brooks inevitably got angry and turned on his hair dryer.

On the Spurs' side, it wasn't until just before the start of the third quarter that Popovich stood up and announced a second-half substitution.

"In the second half, Tony Parker, Manuginobili, Anxi, Kawhi Leonard and Tim Duncan, you five played. ”

At the beginning of the second half, the Spurs played with all the main forces, Kawhi Leonard went to the power forward position, and the Thunder also had three less shots, plus Derrick Fisher and Kendrick Perkins, the Thunder was also the main force, and Derrick Fisher, the most important three-point shooter on the Thunder's perimeter, stayed on the court.

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Thunder kept closing on the point difference amid the roar of Scott Brooks, but for the Thunder, Kevin Durant became an offensive point that they could never open with Anxi on the floor.

In the second half, in the confrontation between the two with increasing action, Kevin Durant completely lost himself.

When Kevin Durant faced Anxi with the ball, Anxi pasted it, constantly intruding to interfere with Kevin Durant's dribbling, and when he faced Anxi without the ball, Anxi would entangle Durant and prevent Durant from having a chance to receive the ball easily. Anyway, Anxi is doing everything possible to defend Durant.

At the end of the third quarter, Kevin Durant's stats became 9 of 25 shots, and in the second half of the second quarter and the third quarter, Kevin Durant only made 2 of 11 shots, but the Thunder still bit the score with the play of Russell Westbrook and James Harden.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs and Thunder still played a tie, and the 10-point difference was maintained until the end of the game.

At the end of the game, the Spurs won the Western Final game 109:99, and after the second quarter, Anxi put all his energy on the defensive end, so in the whole game, Anxi only scored 17 points, although it is also Anxi's personal relatively high score, but you must know that Anxi scored 12 points in the first quarter of this game! In addition to scoring, Anxi also had 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

Under Anxi's defense, Kevin Durant was relieved to be a passer in the fourth quarter, and after the fourth quarter of the game, Kevin Durant shot 9 of 27, shooting only 33%, but the excellent play of Russell Westbrook and James Harden allowed the Thunder to avoid a heavy defeat.

At the end of the first game of the Western Conference finals, the Spurs' victory is not a surprise, after all, the Spurs have a home-court advantage in this series, and a home victory is what it should be, if the Spurs can't win this game, the media will start to trumpet that the Thunder's strength is far superior to the Spurs.

And now, the Thunder's 10-point loss, in the eyes of media reporters, is a very normal loss, this loss shows that the Western Conference finals Thunder and Spurs are a group of opponents of equal strength, especially in the second half, the Thunder relied on Russell Westbrook's play, biting the score, the 10-point loss occurred in the first half, and the Spurs and the Thunder played a tie in the second half, this tie shows that the Thunder has a chance to win.

That's what the media in Oklahoma City thinks, not only do they think so, they also believe that this game is missing the Thunder's inside gate, regular season block king Sergi Ibaka, and after the game, according to Scott Brooks, Sergi Ibaka's comeback is imminent, either the next game or the next game.

Oklahoma City media believe that once Sergi Ibaka returns, the Thunder can make up the final link, which is interior defense plus offensive firepower from mid-range, and the Spurs will not be a match for the Thunder at that time.

However, this kind of argument can only happen to the Russian City media, and there is no such argument in the sports media across the United States, and the unanimous opinion is that the Spurs and Thunder are likely to play seven games.

The Spurs won the first game, and the people of the Holy City were still very satisfied, so they didn't pay attention to all kinds of arguments from the outside world, and for the Spurs, there were many places where the first game showed a good trend.

For example, Anxi's state, both offensive and defensive, Anxi has continued the good state of the second round, the offensive end can cut 12 points in the first quarter, and the defensive end is Kevin Durant's 22 shots in the third quarter 5 of the third quarter, you know, Kevin Durant is the scoring champion of the regular season, for the Thunder, Kevin Durant's scoring point was locked by Anxi, and they need other players to make more efforts to make up for the lack of scoring caused by Kevin Durant's mute fire.

For Kevin Durant, the Russian city media also said that in the regular season, in the face of Anxi's defense, Kevin Durant has never been so miserable, 9 of 27 shots in the whole game, and 5 of 22 shots when he is opposite Anxi, which represents Anxi's successful defense of Kevin Durant in this game.

Of course, what the Russian media want to say is not to praise Anxi, what they want to say is that if Kevin Durant can get back to the regular season, then the Thunder will win this game.

Regarding the arguments of the Russian media, An Xi will never take it seriously, because he really defended Kevin Durant, and if he returns to the state of the regular season or something, An Xi can only laugh.

Because it's very simple, from the beginning of the Grizzly Bears, Anxi feels that he is in a very good state, this state does not refer to his technical state and physical state, because Anxi's technical state and physical state are fixed, which is the addition of the system, Anxi feels that the state is good, it is Anxi's consciousness, Anxi found that during this time, his offensive awareness and defensive awareness seem to have reached his best state.

Playing the Grizzlies Anxi solved the Spurs' outside defense by himself with the peak of his consciousness, and the offensive end also played the best performance of his career, and in the first game of the Thunder, Anxi also continued this good state.

For such a vague thing as consciousness, An Xi only vaguely felt that it seemed that his consciousness was at its peak, but he was confused and couldn't be sure, but the only thing An Xi could be sure of was that with his current ability, it was still difficult to play this kind of defensive domination and good performance on the offensive end.

Therefore, An Xi knew that there must be a certain attribute that affected his current state, so An Xi set his sights on the system, hoping to find the answer from the system. (To be continued.) )
