Super Role Player

The two teams gradually replaced substitutes and finished the first quarter, and then continued to make substitutions in the second quarter. 135y24?*6/810

The Thunder removed Westbrook and replaced him with Reggie Jackson, the shooting guard was replaced by Jeremy Lamb, and the power forward was replaced by Perry Jones. Serge Ibaka was pushed to the center position, plus Kevin K. Vin Durant continued to play, and the Thunder's lineup became a semi-main rotation.

The same goes for the 76ers. Anxi continues to stay on the court. Both McAway and Pau Gasol leave the court to rest. Anxi is pushed to the small forward position. Jae Crowder guest-stars at power forward. The center is Cole Aldrie who comes off the bench. Qi, the outside line is the combination of James Anderson and Shaun Livingston.

The 76ers put together a small lineup with great athletic talent. Cole Aldridge, the only big man, is also the type who can run and jump, so Brett Brown also changed his tactics: "We increased the speed. Go up and fight the Thunder."

After re-entering the game, the Thunder had the ball in the second quarter.

Reggie Jackson took the ball to the frontcourt, and Shaun Livingston defended it. Kevin Durant on the baseline started running, reversed the run and added a screen, got rid of Anxi, received the ball and directly shot a fadeaway jumper, long-armed to avoid it. Disturbance ensued from Anxi.

The basketball slammed into the basket.

The ball goes in! Kevin Durant jumped twice and turned to defend.

Anxi turned around and patted the basketball that fell from the basket, handed it to Cole Aldridge, and took the ball directly from the backcourt.

After taking control of the frontcourt, Kevin Durant stepped forward directly.

At the same time, other Thunder players also moved towards Anxi intentionally or unintentionally. Perry Jones was even two steps away, waiting for an opportunity to double-team. Obviously, during the break of the quarter, Scott Brooks arranged a defensive strategy against Anxi, including double-teaming and assisting defense.

Scott Brooks must do this. Who allowed Anxi to score consecutively through his own singles in the first quarter and already scored 14 points?

Anxi knew that as soon as he broke through, the Thunder would immediately double-team him.

However, he did not panic. When he changed direction, he directly passed Durant and broke through. Anxi thought very simply. If the Thunder double-teamed, he would pass the ball immediately. If not, he could beat Durant with the ball. One goal.

Perry Jones immediately covered it, but Anxi didn't pass the ball because Perry Jones came a little slowly.

Anxi accelerated and pushed Durant towards the three-point line. Then he suddenly stopped and shook two people, Kevin Durant and Perry Jones, and took a long two-point shot with a little backwards. Amplitude.

The basketball is like a sharp sword, passing through the sky above the court and falling directly into the basket.

"Anxi scored a two-pointer from a long distance and a fadeaway shot. The Thunder's double team needs to be faster."

Reggie Miller commented on the ball in an understatement. He completed a one-on-one fadeaway jumper. The fans on the sidelines were already surprised. Although there was a time difference, in the eyes of the fans, this ball was still quite good. It's unbelievable, especially if you get into it.

But for Reggie Miller, making a fadeaway jumper in one-on-one is simply a very common goal. In Reggie Miller's view, isn't that what a fadeaway jumper is used for? Facing a double team, he used a fadeaway jumper to avoid the defense. It was a normal goal. However, Reggie Miller was still looking for the Thunder's defensive problems. He believed that it would be better if the Thunder's double teams were faster.

"If the Thunder double-teams faster, Perry Jones withstands Anxi's lower plate, and Kevin Durant blocks the space in front of Anxi, Anxi will have to pass the ball, and there will be big mistakes in passing. probability."

Reggie Miller analyzed Anxi's goal, and the Thunder also played a wave of fast attacks.

It was Kevin Durant again. He and Reggie Jackson set up a pick-and-roll from the outside. After getting rid of Anxi, he directly made another pull-up jumper.

Hit again with a swish sound.

Looking back, there is still no change in the Thunder's defense. Durant is guarding Anxi alone, and other players are eyeing Anxi. They will double-team him as soon as Anxi breaks through.

For this ball, Anxi chose to pass the ball to Shaun Livingston and then started running.

Livingston took the ball from a high position, and after Anxi made a circle, he went directly to the weak side.

The Thunder's defense mainly focuses on the strong side, so there are not many defensive players on the weak side. After Anxi ran to the weak side, he directly opened his hand to ask for the ball, and then faced Durant's single defense.

The Thunder have accumulated too many defensive players on the strong side, and now, in order to create singles opportunities for Anxi, the 76ers have completely opened up. Therefore, for the time being, no Thunder players will run over to double-team Anxi, because once they run over, , the target is too obvious, and the missed person is too obvious.

Therefore, Anxi faced Durant's single defense for a long time.

Durant waved his long arms to disturb Anxi. At this time, Anxi's original pivot foot suddenly took a step to the right, and then quickly followed up with his left foot, quickly passing Durant in one step.

This move was very beautiful. Durant only stared at the basketball in Anxi's hand without reacting at all. When Anxi passed by, he could only follow behind and eat the dust.

On the other side, Serge Ibaka quickly moved towards Anxi, but Anxi didn't take a few steps. He rushed to the mid-range position, made an emergency stop jumper, and threw the basketball in his hand.

It was still very accurate, and with a swish sound, it went in directly.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Anxi scored consecutive goals.

And then, Durant was not to be outdone. He hit Anxi hard on the offensive end, broke through Anxi, rushed inside and hit a hook layup. Even with Anxi's full defense, Durant scored a goal. It shows how strong Durant is.

Durant also made two consecutive shots, and the second shot was a strong hit, obviously competing with Anxi.

Anxi was not convinced either. Durant beat himself hard, and he also beat Durant twice. Then, with the 76ers' attack, Anxi continued to beat Durant alone.

On the defensive end, Durant also started to compete, waving his hands to prevent Perry Jones from double-teaming.

Then, he waved his long arms to deal with Anxi's post-up play.

After Anxi relied on the ball twice, seeing no one to defend him, he squeezed into the three-point line, turned over and shot a jumper, and with a swish, he went in again!

After the goal, Anxi raised his shooting hand and raised three fingers to indicate that it was the third goal in spite of the boos from the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

In turn, Durant continued to beat Anxi hard.

The two people's continuous one-on-one battles made the fans on the sidelines excited to watch, and the score was extremely tight.

Durant made another strong play, and after forcing his way into the three-point line, he made another pull-up jumper.

The basketball flew out, bounced twice on the rim, and then went in again.

Come in too! Durant beat his chest hard.

Reggie Miller shouted: "Kevin Durant hit another pull-up jumper! His touch now is incredible!"

Steve Kerr also said: "The one-on-one match between Anxi and Durant is still tied at 3:3! They both scored three goals in a row!"

Then, after Steve Kerr's crow's mouth, Anxi hit the iron. Facing Durant's strong one-on-one defense, Anxi broke into the inside and missed a layup.

Durant, who defended the ball, roared and took off the rebound, looking very excited.

Steve Kerr was about to declare that Durant had won this duel. Then, Anxi, who refused to admit defeat, was also on the defensive end and made a determined effort to directly block Durant's floater.

So, the defensive end showed its strength, and the two were still tied.

The fierce battle continued.

Anxi's offense, holding the ball from outside, and continuous shaking, Kevin Durant was unmoved. His breathing was rapid and he seemed nervous. This goal should be a more important one, because both of them missed the shot. After one goal, the state is no longer so hot. It is very likely that this goal will be missed again.

With continuous shaking and fake moves from the outside, Anxi failed to find a chance.

As time passed, Anxi became a little anxious.

At this time, he suddenly took a big step and rushed towards the inside.

Durant seemed to have found an opportunity to steal the ball, and suddenly rushed out, stretched out his long arm, and swatted the basketball in Anxi's hand.

At this time, Anxi was also alert. He discovered Durant's intention, and then dribbled directly from his hips to avoid Durant's steal. Then he turned around and passed Durant, who was already out of position.

The next step is simple. Anxi passed Durant and entered the paint. He made a light dunk, and with a bang, he scored another 2 points!

There was a sigh in the Chesapeake Energy Arena. Durant defended well, but at the last moment, he made a mistake, or in other words, at the last moment, he was impulsive.

However, Durant still had a chance. He could still equalize the difference between the two. Therefore, Durant took the ball directly from the backcourt and controlled it all the way to the frontcourt.

The Thunder completely opened up the frontcourt, leaving enough space for Durant. Scott Brooks was also happy to see Durant and Anxi play one-on-one duel, so he just stood on the sidelines and watched with interest.

The same goes for Brett Brown. Coach Brown has strong confidence in Anxi's defense. Coach Brown believes that there will always be a time when Anxi can defend against Durant's offense.

Durant chose a safe singles method, holding the ball behind his back and hitting Anxi with his back.

Then... he turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper, avoiding Anxi's block.

Uh-huh! The basketball quickly got into the basket! With rapid spin!

Enter again! Chesapeake Energy Arena immediately went crazy!

"The duel between Anxi and Kevin Durant! It's still going on! In the second quarter, the game suddenly became a one-on-one show between Anxi and Durant!"

The fans at the scene seemed very excited, and the commentators were almost the same. Steve Kerr especially liked to see this one-on-one scene. Although Reggie Miller didn't say much, the smile on his face showed that he also liked to watch it. to one-on-one drama.

According to Reggie Miller, one-on-one performances were very common in the 1990s, but modern basketball has gradually developed towards a team, and one-on-one individualism is hard to see. (To be continued.)
