"Well, eight games later, we're in the Western Conference Finals, and I think you should know what kind of stage this is, and most of you have played like this. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info"In the home dressing room, Popovich was giving a pre-match lecture. "Everyone says the Warriors are dark horses, everyone says the Warriors are over here, but in fact, the team that can reach the Western Conference Finals, there are no dark horses, the West is not the East, the team that can reach the Western Conference Finals is a strong team! ”

Popovich paused and continued: "Of course, I'm going to get serious myself, like the starting line-up for this game, I made some adjustments. ”

With that, Popovich began to announce the starting lineup for the game: "Point guard Tony Parker, scoring guard Anxi, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Tim Duncan, and center Thiago Split. ”

An Xi was stunned for a moment, he actually entered the starter, so he listened carefully, since Popovich put himself on the starter, there will definitely be special arrangements in the follow-up.

"In this game we played the same way as usual, blocking and cutting and looking for good opportunities. Defensively, though, a little bit of a change, we're going to expand defensively. Popovich made a push-out gesture and continued: "Tim, you protect the basket, Ann and Kowai, you are responsible for the defense, Ann, especially you, go to the weak side to make up for the defense, and the most important thing is that when defending the opponent's three-point shooter, pay attention to the close defense and don't give them the opportunity to shoot easy threes." ”

Popovich is obviously a little concerned about the Warriors' three-pointers, but if you think about it, if the Warriors really let them shoot their three-pointers, then the Spurs will not be far from being shot to death.

An Xi nodded, protecting the weak side, this task is actually not easy, because the Warriors are also a team that likes to grab your weak side and hit hard, through a variety of blocking and dismantling cooperation, rushing to the weak side to shoot.

The game started quickly, and as the whistle blew, the two teams started the match.

Andrew Boggart won the jump ball, so on the first round after coming on, Anxi faced Klay Thompson.

Klay Thompson's improvement this season has also been obvious, with accurate three-point shooting and tough defense, and has become an important player on the outside of the Warriors, both offensively and defensively. However, on the offensive end, Klay Thompson's task is to cut without the ball, and his ability to handle the ball is not very good, and now the Warriors have the ball in possession of Stephen Curry.

Stephen Curry controlled the ball for a while, then broke through and rushed to the interior to complete a layup and scored two points.

Tony Parker took the basketball from the backcourt and advanced to the frontcourt, Stephen Curry hurriedly pasted it, Curry's defense was not good, it was purely caused by his physical fitness, but he was really defended, with Curry's flexibility, it was still quite troublesome.

Tony Parker was a little annoyed by Curry's sticking, but thinking of Popovich's arrangement before the game, he quickened his pace and took Curry into the three-point line with a quick cut.

After rushing inside, Tony Parker threw the ball directly behind his back, and Anxi bypassed Duncan's cover and received the basketball directly at the top of the arc.

Klay Thompson was stuck, Anxi received the ball and shot directly, there were no defenders within two steps in front of him, and cheers were already ringing on the sidelines.

"Anxi, three points unguarded!"

Bang, in!

"Three-!" DJ shouted in cheers, An Xi waved his hand excitedly, and the first ball in the opening game was shot by him, and some of the games were played.

The Warriors' offense, Stephen Curry unhurriedly controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Tony Parker stood on the three-point line, waiting for Curry to come.

Curry stepped on two steps beyond the three-point line, and suddenly jumped, and Tony Parker was shocked and rushed forward.

However, only to hear a bang, Stephen Curry soared into this long-range three-pointer two steps away!

Stephen Curry shook his head and began to celebrate, and boos rang out at ATT Arena.

An Xi ran towards the frontcourt, and at the same time looked up at Curry's return defense of the ball just now, stepped directly on the three-point line two steps away, and then the three points were launched like accurate missiles, and finally got into the basket, the visual effect was very shocking, An Xi was also thinking, does he have this ability?

Thinking about it, he still doesn't have it, if he really shoots a three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line, Anxi may be able to make a shot or two, but the shooting rate must be miserable.

So he shook his head and started to devote himself to the offense, his three-point shooting was already very good, and there was no need to compare it with Curry.

Tony Parker controlled the ball from the outside, and just when everyone thought Parker was going to make an answer-ball, Parker suddenly made a ground-hitting pass and passed the ball to Tim Duncan on the inside.

Duncan got the ball in the penalty area, turned around and stepped one step at a time, and took a step towards the inside line, David Lee, who defended Duncan, hurriedly stepped back to defend, and as soon as he retreated, Duncan immediately pulled back, quickly moved sideways and slapped the ball twice at the same time, and then jumped up to make a close-range shot.

David Lee jumped up to interfere, but by the time he did, Duncan had already thrown the ball.

With a bang, the ball went in and Spurs equalized.

The Warriors' offensive speed began to pick up, Stephen Curry urged Boggart to serve in the backcourt, and after receiving the ball, he didn't wait for Boggart at all, rushed to the frontcourt, or the position of the previous shot - two steps away from the three-point line, and with a bang, he scored a super long three-point shot again!

"Damn!" Anxi burst out directly.

Off the court, Popovich couldn't help but shout: "Tony, what are you doing, post it, paste it!"

Stephen Curry shook his head and gritted his braces, and for a moment, the ATT arena was already filled with boos.

scored 8 points in a row in the opening game, Stephen Curry was already a bit superb, and his hand was so good that it exploded, and the Spurs' continuous offense also scored, but before he knew it, he was led by the Warriors by 1 point.

Popovich was in a hurry and kept shouting from the sidelines to direct the game, so much so that the referee ran over to warn him.

And the first quarter of the game ended in the exchange between the Spurs and the Warriors.

At 31:27, the Warriors led the Spurs by 4 points, and these four points are basically a pure three-point lead, so the Spurs are a little wronged behind, but this can't hinder the excitement of some reporters off the court.

"The Spurs can't stop the Warriors' offense, are they about to have their first loss in the playoffs this season?

The Spurs' predicament made them very excited, and the second quarter of the game soon began, the Spurs replaced the bench, and the Warriors let Curry take Jared Jack and a group of benches to continue to play in the second quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, after Mills missed a layup, the Warriors grabbed the rebound, Stephen Curry quickly held the ball and hit the basket, and then gave the ball to Carl Landry, who turned and jumped to score 2 points.

The group of reporters on the field almost cheered, if it weren't for the fact that they were on the home court of the Spurs......

With a 6-point difference, the Spurs' situation seems to be really bad.

However, the more times like this, the less anxious the Spurs are, and they still organize the attack slowly.

Boris Dio mentioned that he got the ball in the high post, and after getting the ball, he took advantage of Manuginobili's opening, and squeezed directly into the inside, and then he put away the ball and made a jumper, deceiving Karlandri and the Warriors' backup center Festus Ezeli to double the bag.

After being trapped, Boris Dio passed the ball directly, and the basketball turned in the hands of Aaron Baines on the inside, and finally came to Anxi's hands.

Draymond Green, who was defending Anxi, was just about to go to make up for Aaron Baines, but when he saw Anxi getting the ball, he immediately turned around and pounced towards Anxi.

Seeing Draymond Green, Anxi thought of the regular season, and during the regular season, Anxi was a little uncomfortable defended by Draymond Green. But the current Anxi is not the Anxi of that time, Draymond Green quickly pounced, Anxi dribbled twice, adjusted, and then quickly accelerated, whistling past Green.

Draymond Green hurriedly wrapped around Anxi, but Anxi only rushed a few steps, and suddenly there was a sudden stop, and Draymond Green also stopped his footsteps, but Anxi's action was not over, he turned around a half, then a step back, the hand that dribbled the ball did not stop, and then suddenly another turn, and broke through directly again!

This breakthrough, Draymond Green was a little unable to keep up, Anxi rushed two or three steps again, and when he saw Andrew Boggart coming out, he knew that he had to make a move.

So he jumped lightly on the spot and threw the ball in with a bang.

Throughout the breakthrough process, Anxi used his ball quotient to play Draymond Green. Before the game, Draymond Green didn't talk much, what Spurs and Warriors, the winner will only be the Warriors, and what is he Although he is a substitute, he will defend the Spurs' bench alone.

Now, Draymond Green has been taught a lesson by Ann Creek.

An Xi can't prevent it, and he dares to shout like that before the game?

With the cheers of the scene, An Xi waved his hand frantically, making the atmosphere in the stadium reach a climax.

Seeing the crazy Spurs fans, Stephen Curry wanted to play a wave of fast break to destroy the morale of the Spurs, but he quickly held the ball to the front court, and when he was about to continue to break through, Patrick Mills directly grabbed the ball and broke the ball.

Stephen Curry still didn't get rid of his old problem, and the careless dribbling learned a lesson at this time, Mills's broken ball immediately launched a fast break, and Ginobili rushed to the front court first, catching the ball and making a layup.

The cheers continued, not high and low, and the moment Manuginobili made a layup, it naturally reached its peak, booming, and shaking his ears.

However, in this fiery and crazy atmosphere, the Spurs are playing more and more smoothly...... (To be continued.) )
