Chapter 82: Contradictions Loom (Fifth Update)
Carmelo Anthony wanted to make a foul, but he had already shook Anxi away, and many people felt that this foul was inevitable. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As a result, Anxi was different from ordinary people, his physical fitness allowed him to adjust his posture in the air, and his defensive awareness made him discover Anthony's intentions, and then changed his posture, forcibly controlled himself in the air to twist his body, pressed his right hand, and pressed it straight on the basketball, and with the help of Anthony's counter-force, his body did not touch any other parts of Anthony.
This cap, clean couldn't be cleaner!
The basketball flew out, but Anxi lost his center of gravity and collided with Anthony after the block, and the two rolled on the floor......
The basketball that was covered was snatched by the quick-eyed Tony Parker, and the Spurs immediately launched a fast break, and the other eight players of the two teams ran quickly to the other half, and Anxi slowly got up from the floor, and then looked at the other half, Tony Parker completed a fast-break layup and scored two points.
Next, the game was simple, Anxi increased his defensive movements and intensity, high-intensity confrontation made Carmelo Anthony's shots always deviate, and in the face of the Knicks' weak defense, the Spurs' offense was invincible, and the score slowly expanded.
At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs led by 11 points, Anxi scored 7 points, 3 boards, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and Anthony shot 2 of 8 in the first quarter, which was very embarrassing.
However, Anthony didn't mean to let go of the ball at all, and he held the ball in his hands throughout the first quarter, so when the sub-quarter ended, Mike De Anthony wanted to make adjustments.
"In the second quarter, Jeremy got the ball and our offense had to play with a success rate, with our speed and rhythm." Mike De Anthony didn't want Melon to give up the ball directly, so he had to mention it slightly, hoping that Jeremy Lin could get more of the ball in the second quarter, and then hinted that Anthony should give up the ball for the team's victory.
Melon listened to D'Antoni's arrangement, and didn't say anything, your arrangement belongs to your arrangement, when you get to the field, who will listen to you, how old are you?
In the second quarter, the Spurs made substitutions, Kawhi Leonard replaced Danny Green, a cameo point guard, Manuginobili replaced Tony Parker, a guest point guard, and Justin Duntmon, who was signed on a 10-day short contract by the Spurs, did not perform well and was cut yesterday, so now the Spurs can only let Manu play the second point guard.
On the inside, Thiago Split replaced Duncan, so that only Anxi and Boris Dio continued to play in the second quarter.
The game restarted, and the Knicks also made a change, and they only changed one shooting guard, J.R. Smith came on, and Mike De'Anthony was clearly playing Jeremy Lin's breakaway idea.
However, Mike De'Anthony's adjustment was doomed to fail, as Popovich never let up his defense against the rest of the Knicks, and the appearance of Kawhi Leonard showed it all.
At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the Knicks attacked first, Jeremy Lin asked for the ball from the backcourt, and the head coach made arrangements, and Jeremy Lin felt that he could control the ball.
Anthony didn't care about that, and after halftime, he continued to open his hand for the ball, but the ball was ignored by Jeremy Lin, and he called Josh Harrelson's block, and rushed to the inside with a lunge.
Thiago Split hurried to make up for the defense, Jeremy Lin found an opportunity to distribute the ball, but Josh Harrelson, who received the ball, had no offensive ability, and had to dribble a few steps after receiving the ball, close to the basket, before choosing to go to the basket.
As a result, it was covered by the replacement of Kawhi Leonard.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks' offense was very uncomfortable, although Jeremy Lin used his breakthrough to attract the defense, but the Spurs' supplementary defense and rotation defense were too fast, after all, it was once a strong defensive team, and the foundation was still there, and it was still difficult for the Knicks to tear apart the Spurs' defense with such a simple offensive routine.
Leonard's blocked basketball went out of bounds, and it was still the Knicks' possession, and the Knicks re-served outside the bounds.
Carmelo Anthony had a black face and directly opened his hand to ask for the ball, just now his action to ask for the ball was directly ignored by Jeremy Lin, which made him very annoyed, in this game, Jeremy Lin has ignored his request twice.
Josh Harrelson saw that Carmelo Anthony wanted the ball, and he didn't dare not give it, so he directly ignored Jeremy Lin, who ran outside the three-point line through the cover, and passed the ball to Anthony in the low post.
It's a low-post singles again, the game has played so far, Anthony has only scored two goals, one is a three-point shot with a strong shot, which is considered a blind, and the other is a low-post single, Anthony has the heart to try again, what if Anxi is not good at defending low-post offense?
Hitting Anxi with his back, Anthony tried to push it a few more times, but he still couldn't move, and it seemed that he could only turn around.
Turning around, Anxi blocked the breakthrough route, Anthony didn't force it, turned around again, and then successively took a step back, shot a shot, and hit the iron with a bang......
It turned out that at the moment when Anthony turned around for the second time, Anxi secretly stabbed Anthony's waist, a little dirty little action, which made Anthony's subsequent shot deformed, and naturally he didn't score.
Anthony glanced at An Xi deeply, he couldn't have a seizure, because An Xi's small movements couldn't be said to be dirty, they could only be said to have played a surprise role and interfered with his shooting, and the referee didn't see it, Anthony could only eat this dumb loss.
But not far away, Jeremy Lin was even more angry, the coach said let me control the ball more, but your melon Anthony is still grabbing the ball, grab it, grab it, the shot didn't go in, 2 of 9 shots, where did you get the confidence to continue to ask for the ball?
As a result, the Knicks' internal undercurrents surged.
The Spurs continued their strong performance, Anxi shook off Anthony through the run, shot a shot, and hit the iron, but he didn't hit!
Fortunately, Kawhi Leonard grabbed the offensive rebound and made a rebound.
On the sidelines, Jeff Hornacek's face darkened: "This kid, the mid-pitch is so bad, it seems that he can't just train his off-ball running, he also has to practice the mid-pitch!" ”
Let's not mention Jeff Hornacek's feeling when he watched this game, when it came to the defensive end, Anxi faced Anthony again.
In the Knicks' attack, Anthony stood directly in the backcourt, forcibly asked for the ball, held the ball to the frontcourt, and Anxi posted it.
Anthony didn't care, called Xiao Si's block, and with a block, he threw off Anxi, and directly made a stop-and-go jumper, Boris Dio, who made up the defense, blocked Anthony's shooting angle, and this stop-and-go jump shot didn't go in!
However, the rebound was taken by Josh Harrelson.
Beep! The referee blows the whistle and the Knicks call a timeout......
Anthony went off the court with a black face, Anxi was a little strange, he felt that the atmosphere on the Knicks' side was a little wrong.
Sure enough, after a while, there was a quarrel on the Knicks' side.
