Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Little Try

After the substitution, Anxi replaced Gary Neale and stood at the shooting guard position, and his opponent was the Rockets' top scorer this season, Kevin Martin. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Greg Popovich gave Anxi only the task of defense, but Anxi, who had just been promoted, couldn't wait to try his ball-handling ability.

However, as soon as he came on the court, it was the Rockets' offense, and Anxi had to hold his restless heart, Kyle Lowry took the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and the Rockets' players scattered.

This season's Rockets are the same as previous seasons, they never seem to have any goals, on the one hand, they don't want to be like the Cavaliers, but they can't do it through strength and their own efforts to rush to the playoffs, just like that, they have spent two seasons in a mess, and it seems that this season will be like this.

The new head coach Kevin McHale doesn't have much of a game either, and he's a chicken soup coach like Doug Rivers.

As a result, the Rockets' offense is very chaotic, and they can only focus on singles, supplemented by some basic blocking offense.

After Kyle Lowry held the ball to the front court, he didn't find a chance for a while, so he handed the ball to Kevin Martin, who only played two games this season, Kevin Martin can be called the league's singles king, the first two games, Kevin Martin has to play more than a dozen singles per game, and score through this continuous singles, which is the biggest scoring reliance of the Rockets, and they even relied on this continuous singles to win the game with the Lakers.

When Anxi wasn't playing, Kevin Martin's singles success rate was pretty good, because he was defended by Gary Neil, one of the Spurs' worst shooting guards. This time when he got the ball, facing Anxi, who had just come up, Kevin Martin made a few feints and looked like he was ready to play singles again.

Anxi had a fight with Kevin Martin in the preseason, Anxi knew that when defending Kevin Martin, his hands and feet must be clean, and he couldn't let Kevin Martin make fouls, so he couldn't be like defending Blake Griffin at this time, Anxi had to get his hands dirty, try not to think about blocking, and stealing.

So Anxi stuck to Kevin Martin, who was holding the ball, and used his strength to make it difficult for Kevin Martin to make his own technical movements, and a pair of long arms interfered with Kevin Martin's vision.

Kevin Martin made a tentative step, but he found that Anxi was not fooled and was still blocking himself steadily, so he had to immediately make a crotch to protect his ball.

Then he found that there was still no chance, so he had no choice but to pass the ball out, and Kyle Lowry, who received the ball, found that there was not much time to attack, and after receiving the ball, he hurriedly threw it out and hit the iron.

Thiago Splitka was in good position and took this rebound, Spurs' offense.

Corey Joseph made a No. 2 tactical gesture, and An Xi was overjoyed and quickly settled near the free throw line.

Cory Joseph didn't waste any time, Popovich said at the timeout that he wanted to speed up the tempo, so as soon as he got to the frontcourt, Cory Joseph accelerated one step at a time, overtook Kyle Lowry, and rushed all the way to the free throw line.

He made a cross cover with Anxi, and after that, Anxi arced out to the three-point line, and then received a pass from Corey Joseph.

After getting TJ Ford's ball control attribute bonus, this is Anxi's first dribble, and he suddenly feels that the basketball has become a part of his body, and he has to do whatever he wants it to do, maybe this is how a ball control master will feel, right?

Holding the ball, Anxi didn't stay for too long, his feet accelerated, and in the face of Kyle Lowry, who changed the defense, Anxi overtook him again.

Poor Kyle Lowry was passed twice in a row in a round, last time it was Corey Joseph, and this time it was Anxi.

And it seems that Anxi is faster, holding the ball and rushing to the three-point line, almost instantly, Anxi threw off Kyle Lowry two steps!

An Xi took time out of his busy schedule to take a look at the situation on the field, Kyle Lowry didn't catch up?

Then things are simple, Anxi directly skipped the link of cross-covering with Kowai Leonard, and rushed all the way to the penalty area.

Samuel Delham Potter had no choice but to drop Thiago Split and run over to make up for it.

In this way, Anxi made a fluttering pass, and Thiago Split on the inside dunked for two points!

So easy?An Xi was very surprised, it was as if he had discovered a new world.

Next, after another wave of singles to defend against the Rockets, Corey Joseph launched the No. 2 tactic again.

After Anxi and Cory Joseph did the first wave of cross-screens, they were excited to do it again.

Another step to shake off the defender, and An Xi rushed in like this.

But the rockets also reacted quickly, and they could not have made the same mistake twice.

Near the free throw line, Kyle Lowry and Courtney Lee clamped Anxi, and Anxi found that the breakthrough was not so easy.

The reason why his first breakthrough was successful was because the opponent was unguarded, once he had defense, it was still difficult for Anxi to break through, otherwise a player with fast speed and good ball control could burst the opponent's penalty area into a sieve.

After the pack, Anxi couldn't find an empty teammate, so he could only pass back, and then he had to be roared by Popovich on the sidelines, because Anxi didn't follow the tactics.

"Ann, what are you doing? Cooperation! Do you understand cooperation?!"

An Xi nodded helplessly, obediently pulled back to the outside, and made a block for Cory Joseph, who regained possession of the ball, and the Spurs reorganized the offense, and finally scored a mid-range shot by Kawhi Leonard.

The Rockets' offense, Kyle Lowry shook off Cory Joseph from the middle distance, made a jumper, but the shot was iron. However, Ballam Potter on the inside did make a difference, roaring and snatching the rebound between Thiago Split and Matt Bonna.

Under the basket, Durham Porter was just about to dunk when he was stealed by the quick-handed Kawhi Leonard. An Xi glanced at this scene with sharp eyes, immediately turned around and ran wildly!

"Fast break! Kawhi Leonard's steal, the Spurs launched a fast break, they were fast!"

Kawhi Leonard's long pass found Cory Joseph, and Anxi rushed into the Rockets' box one step ahead.

"Empty pick-up!" only to hear a shout from Cory Joseph, An Xi jumped without thinking!

The basketball really flew above An Xi, but the height was a little high, and An Xi stretched out his long arm and caught the basketball in the air with one hand.

He gritted his teeth and with all his strength, he dunked the basketball into the basket hard!

An Xi's right hand, which was as hard as steel, was heavily buckled on the basket, and the basket squeaked and swayed back and forth.

"Empty pick-up! China An's earth-shattering dunk! Toyota Center is silent!"
