Super Role Player

After the adjustment, the Spurs trailed by 15 points. Now the Spurs don't want to win, but to recover the score.

Tony Parker was firmly in control of the ball from outside the three-point line. Anxi set a screen for Tim Duncan in the low post, and then followed the screen to the bottom corner. A layer of cover.

Using the cover, Tony Parker rushed to the inside and made a drop shot, but the basketball tragically spun twice on the rim and missed!

And because of Tim Duncan's withdrawal, no one grabbed the rebound inside, and the rebound was taken by the Thunder again. The Spurs failed again. Tony Parker hurried back to the defense annoyed, and Anxi in the bottom corner was the first to return. Defensively, the moment Tony Parker made a shot, Anxi knew that if he didn't score the goal, he might be called a fast break.

Sure enough, the Thunder who grabbed the rebound launched a fast break, and Westbrook, who got the basketball, ran all the way with the ball. Adu also made a fast break, and Anxi was the only one who returned to the defense in time for the Spurs...

"Thunder's fast break, two-on-one in the frontcourt, China An faced the Thunder Twins alone!"

Anxi retreated quickly, all the way to the basket, and then waited for the arrival of Adu and Westbrook. Westbrook rushed into the three-point line and passed the ball to Adu, because Adu was one step faster.

Adu received the ball, but stopped directly at the free throw line, and made a jumper on the spot. Anxi could only curse inwardly, watching the basketball fly into the basket. Adu ended the game in an unconventional way. The first fast break allowed the Thunder to expand their lead. Before the end of the first quarter, they led by 17 points.

This lead is already very large. If this performance continues, the Spurs will stage a tragedy.

Tony Parker stood on the sidelines and was pulled over by Popovich for a while. Obviously, he was in a bad state in this game, and Popovich had to adjust the team's style of play.

Tony Parker wasted a little time, the referee had to intervene, and the Spurs served from the baseline. According to Tony Parker's gesture, Anxi found that the Spurs had changed their style of play.

Originally, after the substitution, the Spurs were still dominated by Tony Parker. Looking at it now, they should be ready to let Anxi and Manu be the main attackers.

Sure enough, after halftime, Boris Diola reached the high position, and Tony Parker passed the ball to him, and he entered an off-ball state. Obviously, Tony Parker would not take the ball again if it was not for an absolute open opportunity.

Anxi also started running quickly. This is his chance, and there is room for him to play in this game.

Running to the restricted area, and cooperating with Duncan to come up with a cross screen, Anxi was very smart and didn't go directly to the outside line, but suddenly turned back and ran back, and passed the screen set by Tim Duncan again, just like that, kept following Anxi's defender Kevin Durant was stunned, and Anxi ran back and went out to the bottom corner. This position was unguarded!

The French magician's pass arrived quickly, and Anxi made an unguarded shot from beyond the three-point line! With a bang, a successful hit!

The point difference narrowed to 14 points, and the fans in the audience began to cheer, and Popovich on the sidelines also applauded, obviously very satisfied.

Anxi played this ball very smartly. With Duncan covering a back run, he directly threw Adu away. This back run also reflects Anxi's golf quotient. Although his limbs are well developed, Anxi is not a simple mind. Man, on the contrary, his golf quotient is very high, it's just that Anxi's skills may be a bit weak, but he has been improving, isn't he?

The Thunder attacked, they were the leading side, so Westbrook dribbled the ball unhurriedly on the outside, looking for opportunities, after five or six seconds, Westbrook started to start, forcibly broke through Parker's defense, and rushed to the three-point line Inside, Anxi didn't come over to change defenses. He knew he had to guard Adu to death, and the others had nothing to do with him, even if the Thunder is currently in the best state is Westbrook.

Westbrook rushed all the way to the free throw line. He was in excellent condition and directly chose to shoot. With an emergency stop jumper, the basketball bounced out of the frame.

Did not enter.

Duncan, who had been guarding the paint all the time, grabbed the rebound, ignored the Thunder's pressure, stabilized a bit, and then handed the ball to Parker.

The Spurs' offense started again. After Parker advanced the ball to the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Anxi. This is another tactic, because Anxi's ball control has improved a lot, and he now has a certain ball-handling task. up.

Anxi passed Boris Diao's pick-and-roll with the ball, cut inside, attracted the defense and passed the ball to Manu, Manu cut inside through another screen, but Anxi came out at this time, tearing the Thunder away. Boris Diao picked up a leak in the middle distance, received a pass from Manu, and successfully hit an open mid-range shot.

The difference is 12 points. In these two waves of offense and defense, the Spurs performed well, and it can be seen that Anxi, Diaw, and Manu are all in good condition. Now only Parker and Duncan are in poor condition, so Popovich is firm. The idea is to play like this, and the 12 points will always be recovered.

However, although the Spurs played well offensively, it was difficult for the defense to completely limit the Thunder. Westbrook missed the ball just now, and he found it again in the next wave of offense.

Facing Tony Parker's defense, Westbrook forced a breakthrough again. During the breakthrough, he made a forced turn and made a layup and scored 2 points. One hit and one accurate.

Then, the Spurs insisted on their offensive strategy. Anxi, Manu and Diaw became a three-person team on the field. Through continuous support and continuous movement, the Spurs gradually found their rhythm on the offensive end and hit the success rate on the offensive end. It was actually higher than Thunder, and the point difference slowly narrowed like this.

As for the Thunder, Scott Brooks also adjusted quickly. He chose to replace Sabo Seforosa, who did not have much offensive ability, and replaced him with James Harden. times, the offensive end barely tied with the Spurs.

In this way, halfway through the game, at the end of the half, the Spurs narrowed the point difference to 2 points, and trailed the Thunder by 2 points 67:65. At this time, this point difference is no longer called a point difference.

And throughout the first half, Anxi was not replaced again. He helped the Spurs get a lot of open opportunities through his running position. It can be seen that Anxi is in very good condition. Usually his running position is not so erratic. Not so sharp.

Anxi, who played the entire first half, made 7 of 11 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 3 of 5 mid-range shots, and 1 of 2 free throws. He scored 19 points, plus 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 steal. Blocking shots, if you continue to play, it is foreseeable that Anxi will play the best performance of his career, which is a bit sad to say.

At the end of the half, the Spurs chased the points well, and Popovich's mood improved. However, Anxi, Manu and Diaw all played full in the first half. There will definitely be physical problems in the second half, so the Spurs will definitely have to make substitutions in the second half. , So Popovich began to think about how to maintain the team's performance in the second half.
