Super Role Player

Chapter 31 The Clippers

On December 29, 2011, the Spurs ushered in the challenge of the league's upstart Clippers at home. This season, under the intervention of the league, Chris Paul failed to join the Lakers, and finally had to switch to the Clippers, thus forming the Clippers The combination of Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, this combination made the Clippers a strong team in the league, and the Clippers also played the banner of the championship in the new season.

The Clippers showed their ambition, which also showed that the Spurs' opponents in the next game are not so easy to deal with.

In the first game of the season, the Spurs defeated the Grizzlies by a big score, and the Clippers also defeated the Warriors by a big score. Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and Chauncey Billups all scored 20+, which also proved that the fast Good condition of the boat.

In the locker room of the home team, the game is about to start. Popovich has not announced the starting lineup for this game, so Anxi is still a little nervous. He still doesn't know what Popovich is thinking.

First put on Ray Allen's Kangda jersey, Anxi then put on the Spurs' No. 7 jersey and jacket, and then waited for Popovich to announce the starting lineup.

Without making Anxi wait long, Popovich walked to the center of the locker room: "Today's game is our second game of the season. At the beginning of the season, many media were saying that the Spurs are going to end, and San Antonio is likely to die here. The devil’s schedule of the season, but I believe everyone knows that our strength is not just a little bit as they say! The Spurs are almost finished? Are you kidding!”

Although Popovich is not a chicken soup coach like Doc Rivers, Popovich's chicken soup is still very good.

"In this game, we will usher in our first strong opponent of the season-the Los Angeles Clippers. They are a member of the championship team. In this game, in order to prove ourselves! We must use a The hearty victory ended the outside world's doubts about us!"

After a while of chicken soup, the Spurs roared excitedly, and Popovich finally began to announce the starting lineup.

"So for this game, let's adjust the team's starting lineup for the Clippers, starting point guard Tony Parker, starting shooting guard Danny Green, starting small forward Kawhi Leonard, starting power forward Ann, starting center Tim Duncan !"

After the starting lineup was announced, almost everyone was a little surprised, because the gap between the Spurs' starting lineup in this game and the previous game was too big, and they directly changed the starting lineup of three positions!

The game is about to start, and the starting players are preparing on the sidelines. This is Anxi's first start, and he is still a little nervous. In this game, Popovich did not mention Anxi's task at all. It seems that the interview the day before yesterday was just Popovich. Oddly made a joke, but Anxi knew that it was not a joke at all. When he appeared as the starting power forward, his mission was only one - to prevent Blake Griffin from dying!

For Blake Griffin, Anxi still has some understanding. The No. 1 pick in the 2009 draft, he was reimbursed for the season due to a finger injury caused by a dunk in his rookie season. He just returned last season, and the result was 22.5 points + 12.1 in a single season. The ultra-luxury data of rebounds + 3.8 assists has become the second rookie season player selected to the All-Star after Yao Ming.

And Blake Griffin's playing style is to hit the inside. The 2011-2012 season is only his second season. It is big enough to eat most of the opponents, but the strength of Anxi Griffin is no longer an advantage. Perhaps this is why Popovich asked Anxi to defend Griffin.

Tony Parker clapped his hands and called the players together as the referee started walking toward the center of the court with the ball in his hands.

"We started with the No. 3 tactic, let Tim play first, and try to break the defense of the opposite center, so that we will be very easy next time."

Tony Parker's arrangement makes sense,

The Spurs' tactics, in the final analysis, are afraid that the opponent's penalty area will have a defender of the penalty area like DeAndre Jordan, so at the beginning of the game, DeAndre Jordan will be defeated and the penalty area will be emptied. No matter what tactics are played next, it will be very easy.

The players nodded vigorously, and Anxi also relaxed his nervousness a little. In this game, the team's offense actually has nothing to do with him. On the offensive end, Anxi only needs to do a good pick-and-roll cover. His focus is still defense.

Soon, the referee whistled, the two sides were in position, and the game began to jump the ball.

It was DeAndre Jordan and Tim Duncan who jumped the ball. Jordan's bounce was obviously better. He jumped high, obviously a head higher than Duncan, and easily dialed the ball back to the Clippers. back-court.

The Clippers are currently attacking, and the Spurs quickly settle in their backcourt, and the game begins.

At this moment, on the other side of the ocean, the broadcast signal has just been transmitted to the live broadcast room of Tencent Sports. When they saw that Anxi appeared in the starting lineup, everyone opened their mouths in surprise, because they knew that before Sina's so-called Anxi's arrogance is completely settled at this moment!

False news! Sina's Anxi arrogant news must be fake news! Anxi has already appeared in the Spurs' starting list, how could he have lost the trust of the coaching staff!

As for Sina, as soon as Anxi appeared in the Spurs starting lineup, Sina editor-in-chief Ke Yi announced that the news that Anxi had lost the trust of the Spurs coaching staff was concocted by Sina sports reporter Yang Fan and had nothing to do with Sina officials. To prove this point, Sina officially announced that reporter Yang Fan has been fired from this moment, and Sina will also hold Yang Fan accountable.

In this way, Yang Fan, who was far away in the United States, found that he lost everything overnight...

Originally, he was a veteran reporter of Sina Sports. In the United States, he also had a group of young reporters who followed him and pursued him. Now, he was suddenly fired by Sina, and the group of young reporters who only followed him before are already I can't wait to hide as far as I can.

On the court, Anxi faced Blake Griffin for the first time. He took a good look at his opponent in this game. Griffin's registered height is 2.08 meters, but according to Anxi's visual inspection, he is only 2 meters tall at most. Mi 03's appearance is about the same height as Anxi's, and his wingspan is very short. He thought of some jokes about Black Griffin's wingspan, and he wanted to have fun thinking about it.

In the Clippers' first attack, Chris Paul took control of the ball, and the Clippers quickly started running.

Anxi, who already knew Blake Griffin, chose to cling to Griffin. In his opinion, Griffin, who has no long-range shooting ability, can only pose a threat to the Spurs if he holds the ball. As long as Anxi defends first With a dead Blake Griffin catch, everything is easily resolved.

At the moment when Chris Paul made a tactical gesture, Blake Griffin quickly ran towards the high post, and Anxi also followed. By the way, he did not forget to use his long arms to block Griffin's receiving route .

Anxi's defense is very annoying. There are only two ways for ordinary players to catch the ball under Anxi's defense. One is to beat Anxi through speed, but there are very few players in the entire NBA who can beat Anxi through speed; One is to get the space to receive the ball through the pick-and-roll.

So, Blake Griffin continued to go outside, made a cross screen with Chris Paul who was holding the ball, and finally got the ball.
