Super Role Player

The Spurs' quick attack suddenly accelerated, and this time it was Kawhi Leonard who scored. He flew into the basket after a pick-and-roll screen and succeeded in a layup.

After scoring 6 points in a row, Kawhi Leonard helped the Spurs draw the score to 8:8, and the AT\u0026T Arena was suddenly plunged into a roaring tsunami.

Charles Barkley was a little surprised because he found that from the start, Kawhi Leonard, who scored 6 points in a row, actually slightly suppressed some Anxi. This was obviously something that many people did not expect before the game. Of course, Kawhi Leonard The suppression of Anxi was only temporary. Charles Barkley believed this, so when the game continued and Anxi got the ball, he felt that Anxi's counterattack was due.

Anxi took the ball at a 45° angle on the left side, assumed a triple threat posture, and faced Kawhi Leonard again.

He stretched out his hand and motioned for his teammates to pull away.

"One-on-one!" These words flashed through Charles Barkley's mind.

Anxi really wanted to challenge Kawhi Leonard. He missed a shot under Leonard's defense. Now Leonard has scored 6 points in a row. In terms of personal performance, he has suppressed Anxi.

Therefore, Anxi is ready to change the ball and turn the whole situation back...

The finals are not just a showdown between teams, but also a showdown between players. Kawhi Leonard is in good form in this game and has already threatened Anxi.

Kawhi Leonard looked at Anxi expressionlessly without any movement. His defense seemed very solid.

At this time, Anxi suddenly made two cross steps and began to shake continuously.

Then suddenly he raised the basketball. Kawhi Leonard quickly took a half-step forward. He thought Anxi was going to hit another pull-up three-pointer. Just after Leonard took half a step closer to Anxi, Anxi Passing the ball directly behind his back, a cross-step dribbling behind his back, and then immediately accelerating, speeding past Kawhi Leonard.

Kawhi Leonard's defense has always been very solid. Even if he was shaken by Anxi's fake shot, Kawhi Leonard turned around in time and was only half a body behind Anxi. However, Anxi's shot was The handling was simple. He rushed into the paint and after half a step away from Kawhi Leonard, he made a pull-up jumper and threw the basketball to the basket in front of Kawhi Leonard.

"Bang!" The basketball hit the basket and then bounced into the basket!

"The ball went in! Beautiful! Anxi scored in a one-on-one attack! 6:6 tie, Anxi tied with Kawhi Leonard!"

Charles Barkley kept watching Anxi's movements on the court.

When Anxi stopped for a jumper, he knew the ball was going to go in.

Anxi's emergency stop jump shot can now be regarded as one of Anxi's killer moves. He can often catch his opponents by surprise and his hit rate is quite high.

Soon, after the Spurs' offense and Tony Parker controlled the ball in the frontcourt, people discovered that the 76ers' defensive positioning against the Spurs had changed.

Anxi switched directly in front of Kawhi Leonard. Obviously this was a tit-for-tat defense!

Kawhi Leonard was pestered by Anxi for a few times, and then he went around to a 45° angle on the right side and opened his hand for the ball.

Tony Parker was stunned for a moment because Kawhi Leonard's request for the ball did not meet the Spurs' tactical requirements. However, after thinking for a moment, Tony Parker still passed the basketball to Leonard. After all, his teammates wanted the ball. It’s really not good not to give.

Kawhi Leonard received the ball. He faced Anxi's defense on the outside and seemed to be preparing for a single.

Gregovich on the sidelines also stood up, crossed his arms, and watched Kawhi Leonard's singles against Anxi.

In fact, Gregovich does not want to see a one-on-one duel between Kawhi Leonard and Anxi. The main reason is not that such a duel will destroy the Spurs' tactical coordination, but that Gregovich Qi knew very well that the current Leonard was no match for Anxi.

And now, Anxi faced Kawhi Leonard for the first goal on the defensive end. Kawhi Leonard held the ball, his shoulders dropped slightly, his body suddenly turned to the side, and with a speed, he pushed away Anxi's defense and headed towards the inside. Speed ​​away.

Anxi has not been thrown away. Kawhi Leonard is not that powerful on the offensive end. Of the 6 points Leonard scored before, 4 of them were won by teamwork. This goal Kawhi Leonard Nader completely ignored his teammates and directly played Anxi alone. The success rate can be imagined.

Kawhi Leonard rushed to the inside, Anxi wrapped his body sideways around Kawhi Leonard, and then, in high-speed movement, Kawhi Leonard threw the ball towards the basket.

Anxi discovered Kawhi Leonard's intention. This was a throw, Tony Parker's specialty. It has to be said that Kawhi Leonard learned many essential moves from several seniors in the Spurs. , but Anxi clearly predicted this goal.

He stretched out his hand and cut off the basketball with a snap!

"Anxi cut off the basketball! Kawhi Leonard's singles failed!" Just when Charles Barkley was about to announce Anxi's victory, the cut basketball was snatched by Tim Duncan on the side.

The old man Duncan grabbed the basketball without making any adjustments and shot at a 45° angle.

There was a bang, then a crisp sound, and the basketball successfully entered the frame!

The Spurs still scored, and the score between the two teams was tied at 10:10. Anxi was a little helpless. He had completely held Kawhi Leonard in his hands, but unfortunately he still couldn't stop the Spurs from scoring.

McAway held the ball from the backcourt, and Anxi decided to play another single. He ran out from the low post and asked for the ball directly.

Without thinking, McAway handed the ball to Anxi.

This is the difference between Anxi and Kawhi Leonard in terms of team status. If Anxi wants the ball, the basketball can only belong to Anxi, but if Kawhi Leonard wants the ball, he may not be able to get the basketball. After all, Kawhi Leonard is not the number one ball possession pointer for the Spurs, not to mention that the Spurs have very high tactical requirements and do not allow players to play in isolation with the ball at will.

Anxi held the ball and hit Kawhi Leonard in isolation. This shot was even simpler.

With two consecutive swings on the outside and a cross-step, Anxi accelerated one step and suddenly broke through, forcing Kawhi Leonard to keep retreating.

But Anxi only took one step forward, then suddenly stopped, took a step back, and jumped up from outside the three-point line...

Under Anxi's series of actions, Kawhi Leonard was already far away from Anxi, and he could only watch Anxi throw the basketball while stumbling.

With a swish sound, the crisp sound of net wiping sounded, accompanied by a huge exclamation from the Att Arena.

"Step-back jump shot! Anxi hit a three-pointer! Kawhi Leonard was completely shaken away!" Charles Barkley showed some excitement. He had long known that Anxi's counterattack was coming, but he didn't expect Anxi's The counterattack came so quickly! "For three consecutive rounds, Kawhi Leonard was magically absent. He was completely suppressed by Anxi!"
