Super Role Player

"Okay, after 8 games, we have reached the Western Conference finals, I think you should also know what kind of stage this is, and most of you have played such games." The home team In the locker room, Popovich was giving a pre-match speech. "Everyone says that the Warriors are a dark horse, and everyone says that the Warriors have come to an end, but in fact, there is no dark horse for a team that can reach the Western Conference Finals. The West is not the East. A team that can reach the Western Conference Finals, It’s a strong team! So I hope you can get serious.”

Popovich paused, and continued: "Of course, I will get serious myself. For example, I have made some adjustments to the starting roster for this game."

With that said, Popovich began to announce the starters for the game: "Point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Anxi, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Tim Duncan, and center Thiago Splitter. .”

Anxi froze for a moment, he actually entered the starting lineup, so he listened seriously, since Popovich put himself on the starting lineup, there must be special arrangements in the future.

"Our offensive style of play in this game is the same as usual, blocking and cutting tactics, looking for good opportunities. However, we have made some changes on the defensive end, and we will expand the defense." Popovich made a gesture of pushing outward, and then continued Said: "Tim, you protect the basket, Ann and Kawhi, you are responsible for defending, Ann, especially you, go to the weak side to defend more, and the most important point is that when defending the opponent's three-point shooter, Just watch your defense close and don't give them an easy 3-point shot."

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

Anxi 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 various pick-and-roll cooperation, rush to the weak side to shoot.

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

Andrew Bogut won the jumper, and Anxi faced Klay Thompson on his first possession.

Klay Thompson's progress this season is also obvious, with accurate three-pointers and tough defense, he has become an important player for the Warriors outside, whether it is offense or defense. But on the offensive end, Klay Thompson's task is to cut without the ball. His ability to hold the ball is not very good, and now the Warriors hold the ball with Stephen Curry.

Stephen Curry held the ball for a while, then made a breakthrough, rushed inside and completed a layup, scoring 2 points.

Tony Parker took the basketball from the backcourt and pushed it to the frontcourt. Stephen Curry quickly posted it. Curry's poor defense was purely caused by his physical fitness, but he really posted him. flexible,

Still quite troublesome.

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

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

Klay Thompson was stuck, Anxi caught the ball and shot directly. There were no defenders within two steps in front of him, and cheers were already heard from the sidelines.

"Anxi, unguarded three-pointer!"

With a bang, I entered!

"——!" The dj shouted amidst the cheers, and Anxi waved his hand excitedly. He made the first shot in the opening game, and some of the games were won.

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

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

However, there was only a swish, and Stephen Curry scored a long-range three-pointer two steps away!

Stephen Curry shook his head and started celebrating, and there were boos in the att arena.

Anxi ran towards the frontcourt, and at the same time looked up at Curry's return of the ball just now, stepped on two steps away from the three-point line, and then the three-pointer was fired like a precise missile, and finally went straight Going into the basket, the visual effect is very shocking, Anxi is also thinking, does he have this ability?

After thinking about it, he still didn't have one. If he really scored a three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line, Anxi might be able to score one or two goals, but the shooting rate must be terrible.

So I shook my head and started to invest in the offense. His three-pointers are already very good, and there is no need to compare with Curry.

Tony Parker controlled the ball from the outside. Just when everyone thought Parker was going to hit an answer-ball, Parker suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball to Tim Duncan inside.

Duncan got the ball in the penalty area, turned around and took a step towards the inside. David Lee, who was defending Duncan, quickly retreated to defend. As soon as he retreated, Duncan immediately pulled back, quickly moved laterally and took two shots at the same time , and jumping up is a close shot.

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

With a bang, the ball was scored and the Spurs equalized the score.

The Warriors' offensive speed began to accelerate. Stephen Curry urged Bogut to serve from the backcourt. After receiving the ball, he didn't wait for Bogut at all. Two steps away, with a bang, another ultra-long three-pointer was scored!

"Damn it!" Anxi swears directly.

Off the court, Popovich couldn't help shouting: "Tony! What are you doing! Post it! Post it!"

Stephen Curry shook his head and gritted his braces. For a while, the att arena was filled with boos.

After scoring 8 points in a row in the opening game, Stephen Curry was already a bit supernatural, and the touch was so good that it exploded. The Spurs also scored consecutive offenses, but before they knew it, they were led by the Warriors by 1 point.

Popovich was a little anxious, and kept shouting on the sidelines to direct the game, so that the referee ran over to warn him.

The first quarter of the game ended with the Spurs and Warriors battling each other.

At 31:27, the Warriors lead the Spurs by 4 points. These four points are basically a pure three-point lead, so the Spurs are a bit wronged to fall behind, but this cannot hinder the excitement of some reporters off the court.

"The Spurs can't prevent the Warriors' offense. Are they going to usher in their first playoff defeat this season? Are the Warriors really going to be black to the end?"

The Spurs' predicament made them very excited. The second quarter of the game began quickly. The Spurs replaced the substitutes, and the Warriors let Curry bring Jared Jack and other substitutes to continue the second quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, after Mills missed a layup, the Warriors grabbed the rebound, Stephen Curry quickly hit the basket with the ball, and then gave the ball to Carl Landry, Carl Landry turned around and scored 2 points with a jumper.

The group of reporters off the court almost cheered, if they didn't think that they were at the home court of the Spurs...

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

But the more this happened, the less anxious the Spurs were, and they still organized the attack slowly.

Boris Diaw mentioned that he took the ball in the high position. After getting the ball, he used the space opened by Manu Ginobili to squeeze directly into the inside. Then he put the ball away and made a jump shot, which deceived Carl Landry and the Warriors' substitute Center Festus Azeri double-teams.

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

Drummond Green, who was defending Anxi, was just about to defend Aaron Baynes, but when he saw Anxi taking the ball, he immediately turned around and rushed towards Anxi.

Seeing Drummond Green, Anxi thought of the regular season. During the regular season, Anxi was a little uncomfortable being defended by Draymond Green. But the Anxi now is not the Anxi at that time. Drummond Green rushed over quickly. Anxi dribbled the ball twice, adjusted it, and then quickly accelerated, whistling past Green.

Drummond Green hurriedly entangled Anxi, but Anxi only rushed a few steps, and suddenly stopped suddenly, and Drummond Green also stopped him abruptly, but Anxi's movement was not over yet, he was one and a half Turning around, followed by another step back, dribbling the ball without stopping, and then suddenly turning around again, breaking through again with a snap!

After this breakthrough, Drummond Green couldn't keep up. Anxi rushed two or three steps again, and seeing Andrew Bogut coming out, he knew he had to make a move.

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

Throughout the breakthrough process, Anxi played Drummond Green with his ball business. Draymond Green talked a lot before the game, what about the Spurs and the Warriors, the winner will only be the Warriors, and even though he is a substitute, he will be alone and all the Spurs' substitutes will misfire.

Now, Drummond Green has been taught a lesson by Anxi.

Even Anxi couldn't defend himself, how dare he shout like that before the game?

In line with the cheers at the scene, Anxi waved his hands frantically, bringing the atmosphere in the arena to a climax.

Seeing the crazy Spurs fans, Stephen Curry wanted to play a wave of fast breaks to destroy the morale of the Spurs, but he quickly took the ball to the frontcourt, and when he was about to continue to break through, Patrick Mills directly copied and put The ball broke.

Stephen Curry still didn't get rid of his old habits. He learned a lesson from his careless dribbling at this time. Mills' steal immediately launched a fast break.

The cheers continued, but sometimes high and sometimes low, and the moment Manu Ginobili made a layup, it naturally reached the highest peak, rumbling, and the ear hurts.

However, in this hot and crazy atmosphere, the Spurs played more and more smoothly... (To be continued.)
