Super Role Player

**Vicci expressed dissatisfaction with the team's performance since the first half of the game. He blew a gust of wind and then began to make specific arrangements.

"Now the 76ers are using their momentum to play with us, using their momentum to break through our defense and offense. Since they can play with this momentum, why can't you? Use all your strength, use your offense and offense Defend and defeat them!”

"The 76ers' style of play is to play fast and break. We must continue to control the rhythm and must slow it down. Kawhi, on the defensive end, you have to restrict Anxi. Tim, pay attention to protecting your penalty area. And Tony, pass the ball. Pass the ball and pass it, and you must give it the best opportunity.”

…

At the end of the timeout, the Spurs made no substitutions and continued to play with all their main players. The 76ers replaced Evan Turner and replaced him with Jae Crowder to further enhance the team's perimeter defense. Brett Brown now has higher ambitions. , he will lead the team to win this game, and he will continue to maintain the team's defense in the first half of the quarter.

"The Spurs did not make any substitutions, but the 76ers replaced Jae Crowder, who has better defense. The purpose is already obvious. They want to strengthen their defense and maintain the lead." Charles Barkley glanced at Jae Crowder, who was wearing the No. 99 jersey. said.

Jae Crowder came on the scene, and the 76ers' defense changed again. Jae Crowder directly stuck to Kawhi Leonard, and his task was to completely lock Leonard.

Anxi's departure has made the Spurs' scoring points more dispersed. Among the main players, the scoring is concentrated in the hands of Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker, so with specific arrangements, specific goals can be found.

Jae Crowder's defense is very good. Anxi knows this very well, and now, Kawhi Leonard has also experienced it. He went around to a 45-degree angle to catch the ball. After getting the ball, Jae Crowder got the ball perfectly. The defensive position is blocked.

Kawhi Leonard cut in against Jae Crowder's defense, but in the end he could only pass the ball out again.

Tony Parker followed **Vitch's layout and arrangement, constantly cutting in and scoring the ball, and finally the time was used up to the last 3 seconds. Tony Parker shook off McAwee's defense, took a mid-range shot, and hit it with a bang.

"After the timeout, the Spurs scored quickly. Their offense became more patient. Tony Parker hit a mid-range shot in the last few seconds, and the Spurs finally ended their scoring drought."

The Spurs lifted their scoring drought, and defensive end Kawhi Leonard also faced Anxi. Wachovia Arena burst into cheers. This was a scene they wanted to see.

Anxi also wanted to see this scene. If Anxi left the Spurs to join the 76ers in order to find his own main position or core position,

So the thing that prevents Anxi from getting the main position or the core position is Kawhi Leonard.

Compared with Anxi, Leonard also improves every year. This season, compared to last season, Leonard's three-pointers are more accurate, his personal offensive methods are also much more, and he also has a frame-blocking version. The emergency stop jumper, although the action is stuck in the frame, the stability of the score is still quite high.

On the defensive side, Leonard's progress has also been quite obvious. His death coil is a bit stronger than when he was coaching Anxi's death coil. During defensive matchups, he often defends one-on-one and steals the basketball from his opponent.

The increase in experience on the defensive end has made Leonard the most efficient outside single defense player this season.

Just after halftime in Anxi, Kawhi Leonard entangled Anxi. Fortunately, Anxi hadn't gotten the ball yet, otherwise Kawhi Leonard, who has always been extremely competitive, would have used his death entanglement move on Anxi. .

McAway controlled the ball from the outside, and Anxi entered a state without the ball. He waved for Thaddeus Young to give him a screen, and then rushed to the bottom corner.

Kawhi Leonard is like a net, tightly trapping Anxi. Even after Anxi and Thaddeus Young came to cover, Kawhi Leonard still followed up, but the cover was two-way, and Anxi got After being screened, Thaddeus Young also received a screen. Tim Duncan needed to guard the inside, so after the screen, Thaddeus Young got rid of all the defenders and received McAway's pass in the middle distance.

Then, there was a clear sound and the basketball hit the basket.

Thaddeus Young scored 2 points and the point difference was still maintained.

The fans were slightly disappointed not to see Anxi play against Kawhi Leonard, but they still cheered for Thaddeus Young's goal.

The game continued and the Spurs scored again. Tony Parker scored 2 points on a throw. Then, the 76ers failed in attack and McAway missed a mid-range shot. The Spurs narrowed the point difference and the game unknowingly entered the Spurs' rhythm.

Then, the much-anticipated one-on-one duel with Kawhi Leonard appeared in Anxi. Anxi held the ball from the outside. Leonard tried to steal twice, but failed. He quickly gave up the steal and turned to stare at Anxi seriously. center of gravity.

Unlike Danny Green who is full of trash talk or provocation, Leonard is very silent on defense. He stares at Anxi with a scary look, like a silent rattlesnake, waiting for Anxi's attack.

"A direct matchup between Anxi and Kawhi Leonard!"

Anxi controlled the ball from the outside and made two slow dribbles, as if waiting for something. But the next second, Anxi's feet quickly stepped on the floor, and he moved!

There was an exclamation in Wachovia. Anxi took the fastest first step and passed Kawhi Leonard directly, throwing Leonard away!

"Anxi! He went in!"

Leonard quickly turned around to catch up. As he turned around, his sneakers made a sharp friction sound with the floor. Leonard turned around and chased after him.

Anxi quickly took a few steps towards the three-point line, and used his peripheral vision to observe Leonard, who was chasing after him. With another squeak, Anxi's feet rubbed heavily on the floor, and he stopped suddenly!

Kawhi Leonard rushed over, and immediately saw Anxi taking action. He turned around quickly, jumped high, and stretched out his long arm to block Anxi's face.

"Click!" The photographer on the sidelines captured this classic scene...

With a bang, Anxi's pull-up jumper hit the target, and Kawhi Leonard used his extremely resilient defense to prevent Anxi's singles!

Anxi's pull-up jump shot missed, and the Spurs seized the opportunity and scored on the counterattack, further narrowing the point difference.

Then, for three consecutive rounds, the 76ers failed to score. McAway, Thaddeus Young and Anxi missed shots one after another. The Spurs seized the opportunity and continued to narrow the point difference. Soon, the score became 21: 18, the 76ers only led by 3 points.

The Spurs finally showed their sophisticated side, taking advantage of the 76ers' mistakes and launching several waves of attacks to directly fight back the disadvantage.

Brett Brown crossed his arms and had no intention of calling a timeout.

On the field, the 76ers' offense made Anxi nervous. He asked for the ball directly from the backcourt, and accelerated to the frontcourt with the ball.

Wave to your teammates to pull away, singles!

When the team failed to score consecutively, Anxi chose to continue playing in singles. This time, he still had to face Kawhi Leonard.

"The confrontation between Anxi and Kawhi Leonard, Anxi tries to break through!"

"Breaking through the middle! Kawhi stopped him!"

"Turn around and continue to break through!"

"Continue to break through along the left road, take a big step, and step into the inside line!!!"

"Go hard against the defense! Can you score?"

…

The next second, Kenny Smith clapped his hands and shouted: "In! In! At the critical moment, Anxi stood up and hit 2 points! The 76ers regained their 5-point lead."

On the court, Anxi raised his hand and accepted the cheers of the 76ers fans.

"Great job, Ann!"

"Keep scoring! Defeat them!"

Some fans were shouting from the sidelines. Anxi's goal finally released their depression in the past few rounds.

After Kawhi Leonard defended Anxi's two attacks in a row, he finally failed to defend him this time. Anxi also strengthened his confidence and decided to continue to beat Leonard.

The Spurs' offense, Tony Parker's layup, and the score difference were still 3 points.

Then, in the last minute of the first quarter, Anxi held the ball and beat Leonard in isolation. He turned around and hit a fadeaway jumper from behind, scoring another 2 points!

Immediately afterwards, Kawhi Leonard's layup was missed by Jae Crowder, but Tony Parker grabbed the ball that was rolling around and hit a jumper.

On the last ball of the first quarter, Anxi singled out Leonard and turned over for a jumper.

Just like that, at the end of the first quarter, the 76ers maintained a 3-point lead. Under the defense of Kawhi Leonard, Anxi played three irons in a row at the end of the first quarter, and finally scored 15 points in the first quarter. It is a performance that carries the team on his shoulders moving forward.

However, in the second half of the first quarter, the 76ers had already shown some signs of decline. The point difference was quickly narrowed by the Spurs, and the on-court offense could only rely on Anxi's individual singles.

So in the second quarter, when Anxi didn't play, the Spurs' substitutes quickly smoothed the 3-point difference and took the lead.

Brett Brown has taken this game more seriously than he has ever done before. When Manu Ginobili hit two consecutive three-pointers to extend the Spurs' lead to 6 points, Brett Brown would have just rested. Anxi came on the field after three minutes.

However, the more experienced **Vic quickly replaced Kawhi Leonard, and Anxi fell into Leonard's defensive siege again.

As a result, Anxi's offensive efficiency was not as high as expected. One goal was scored and another was played for five or six minutes. The point difference did not narrow, but instead widened to 10 points.

The Spurs' suppression of the 76ers' strength has gradually become apparent, especially the suppression of the substitutes.

Anxi also faced Marco Belinelli, who replaced him. Anxi had to admit that this shooting guard from Italy had two skills. At least one shot was very accurate, which was very suitable for the Spurs' tactics.

In this way, after halftime, the Spurs entered the halftime break with a 14-point lead, while Anxi scored 27 points in the half. This game is likely to get a high score again. (To be continued.)
