Chapter Ninety-Nine: Mutual Correspondence (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

After 2:2, the 76ers served in the backcourt, and after advancing to the frontcourt, the 76ers continued to play the outside blocking and pick-and-roll cooperation. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Anxi held the ball on the outside, Pau Gasol sent a cover, Anxi took the ball and hit the penalty area, which immediately attracted Steven Adams's supplementary defense.

He didn't continue to cut in, facing Steven Adams' defense, turning around and taking the ball with his back to the basket.

Anxi's singles in the restricted area immediately attracted the help of other Thunder players, and Durant pounced.

Anxi saw the opportunity, made a ground-hitting pass, and passed to the outside.

Jack Leod was completely empty, and this was a pretty good opportunity.

But after receiving the ball, Jack Crowder's jump shot on the spot was very deflected and smashed directly on the rebound, which was just picked up by Kevin Durant, who rushed into the restricted area to make up for the defense.

The 76ers' offense failed, and Jack Crowder missed his open shot.

After the Thunder got the rebound, they immediately fought back.

Kevin Durant passed the ball to Wei Shao, who rushed to the front court without any pause, and went directly to the basket to complete the layup.

4:2。

A lightning counterattack, and the Thunder scored again.

The 76ers served in the backcourt, and Brett Brown shouted twice on the sidelines, which was roughly to let the team pay attention to the Thunder's counterattack, indeed the goal just now, Westbrook's counterattack was too easy.

Anxi made an OK gesture to the sidelines, and then personally held the ball in the backcourt and advanced to the frontcourt.

It's the same way of playing, but this time, the 76ers made a mistake.

After Anxi and Pau Gasol blocked, they passed an advance to the baseline, but McCarvey's run was a step slower, and the ball flew directly out of the baseline.

Mistake! An Xi shook his head helplessly.

On the commentary bench, Reggie Miller thought: "Anxi's pass is a little taken for granted, he can continue to impact the interior with the help of the pick-and-roll, but he seems to want to cooperate with his teammates too much and give assists to his teammates." ”

Another offensive failure, the Thunder seized the opportunity and played another wave of fast offense, or Kevin Durant, an outside chase three-pointer, successfully hit, Jack Crowder's defense looked very weak in front of Durant's long arms.

After this three-point shot, the score became 7-2, and the 76ers fell behind at the beginning.

Brett Brown walked to the sideline again, this time without speaking, just crossed his waist and watched how the 76ers played the offense.

Anxi continued to get the ball in the backcourt, he had already thought about this attack, the continuous offense was unfavorable, the 76ers had to score, Brett Brown went to the sidelines to supervise the game, which also illustrated this, if the 76ers failed to attack again, maybe Brett Brown would call a timeout.

And Anxi's idea of this ball is to do it alone.

Jack Crowder missed a shot and was counterattacked by the Thunder, Anxi made a mistake in passing the ball to McCarvey, and was hit by the Thunder with a quick attack, so Anxi simply didn't pass the ball.

Holding the ball to the frontcourt, the Thunder continued to defend Anxi with Kaloon Butler.

To be honest, this is the worst defense Anxi has encountered in recent games, and the Thunder didn't pay attention to Anxi at all, whether it was playing the Mavericks or the Magic or the Bucks, the opposing head coach either arranged the team's outside single defense to defend Anxi, or arranged the bag clamp or co-defense tactics.

And here in the Thunder, Scott Brooks only has one breakthrough package, and the rest of the time is very relieved to let Charon Butler, a veteran who is not known for defense, defend Anxi.

Therefore, this attack on Anxi chose a more secure singles.

Control to the frontcourt, Anxi took advantage of McCarvey's blocking and dismantling to go inside, Wei Shao changed the defense to Anxi, Anxi continued to break through, although Jack Crowder's side was empty again, but he didn't think about passing the ball in this ball, but suddenly accelerated, a dexterous change of direction directly shook off Wei Shao, and rushed into the penalty area.

Steven Adams made up for it again, and Anxi still didn't pass the ball, and before Adams made up for it, he made a layup.

The basketball smashes the board and bounces into the basket.

Anxi got his first score of the game, after scoring, Anxi immediately beckoned his teammates to retreat, the Thunder has played several fast breaks in succession, and the 76ers have also learned their lessons, Anxi was the first to turn back to defense, and other teammates quickly retreated to the backcourt.

After Anxi scored a single goal, there was also a burst of praise on the commentary bench, Reggie Miller said: "Anxi's choice of this goal is right, don't always think about cooperating with teammates, if necessary, you still have to score first." ”

Steve Kerr also nodded: "Indeed, when Anxi scores, the Thunder's defensive center of gravity will be tilted to Anxi, so that the offense of other players of the 76ers will be relaxed." ”

On the court, the Thunder's offense, Wei Shao singled An Xi, An Xi stopped, and then Wei Shao chose to pass, or Durant, adjusted a step after receiving the basketball, and then another mid-range dry pull jump shot, and hit it again with a bang.

Jack Crowder has worked hard defensively, but he just can't stop Durant.

In contrast, Anxi did a good job of restricting Westbrook, and so far in the game, Wei Shao has only scored 2 points through a fast break, and the rest of the time under Anxi's defense, there are not even many opportunities.

Therefore, An Xi thought about it, he directly overturned Bret Brown's pre-game arrangement, and decided to switch defenses with Jack Crowder in the next wave of offense, he went to defend Durant, and Jack Crowder defended Wei Shao.

The 76ers' offense, Anxi came to the ball singles again, took the ball with his back in the middle distance, and after advancing two steps, he made a turnover jumper, and with a bang, the basketball obediently drilled into the basket, and the offense was played, and the point difference became 6:9, and the Thunder still had a 3-point lead.

Then, the Thunder's offense, Anxi, switched defenses with Jack Crowder.

Durant plays without the ball, Adu's ball-holding ability is a little poor among superstars, basically comparable to Anxi who has not upgraded and broken through, and it just so happens that the Thunder also has a Wei Shao who likes to attack with the ball, so Durant will always appear as an image without the ball.

In the face of Anxi's defense, Durant felt hot, and after a reverse run, he received the ball again, facing Anxi's defense again.

Bang, the shot hit the iron and didn't go in.

Asik on the inside grabbed the rebound, and the 76ers advanced quickly and almost hit a wave of fast breaks.

The Thunder's retreat is still very fast, and the good thing about Steven Adams starting is that the whole lineup is very dynamic and fast.

Unable to play a fast break, the 76ers stabilized, passing the ball continuously from the outside, looking for opportunities.

Brett Brown stood on the sidelines and nodded, after the instability of the opening, the 76ers gradually entered the state, Anxi's self-imposed change of defense Durant immediately had an effect, and Anxi, who was tall and long-armed, directly blocked Durant's dry pull-out jumper.

The 76ers' attack, after continuous blocking and dismantling and covering on the outside, Gasol responded with a high position, and a pass to the three-point line was passed, and Jack Crowder received the ball and threw it, and hit a three-point shot! The score was equalized.

After the score was tied, Scott Brooks also stood up, walked to the sideline and clapped his hands, signaling his players to pick up the tempo.

Westbrook got the coach's instructions and immediately sped up, Jack Crowder made up in front of Wei Shao, Wei Shao did not stop, and directly forced a change of direction to break through Jack Crowder's defense.

After hitting the inside, the layup was interfered with by Asik, who turned around and took the rebound, and then passed the ball to Anxi.

The 76ers got a chance to overtake the score.

Anxi held the ball and attacked quickly, rushed to the front court to the other side, McCarvey received the basketball and made a layup.

At 11:9, the 76ers took a two-point lead over the Thunder in turn, and they played a 7-0 offensive wave.

"Cut into the box more, pass the ball more!" Scott Brooks continued to stand on the sidelines, shouting incessantly.

Wei Shao held the ball to the front court and gave the ball to Sergi Ibaka, and he and Durant and Caron Butler crossed the three for a while, only to dazzle, and the 76ers' defense was messed up.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ibaka directly hit the ground and passed the ball to Wei Shao, who was cut into the air, and Wei Shao received the ball and made a layup with a lever and successfully hit!

This time, the Thunder increased the number of passes, and the 76ers failed to defend them.

But then, the 76ers' offense also scored, Anxi broke through with the ball on the outside, and after a pull-up jump shot through cover, he scored another 2 points.

In this way, the offense of the two teams played back and forth, and for most of the quarter, the 76ers and the Thunder played 24:23, and the Thunder led by 1 point. (To be continued.) )
