Super Role Player

The Spurs returned to defense like a tide, and on the Thunder side, Russell Westbrook brought the ball to the frontcourt.

This season, Westbrook has completely controlled the overall situation of the Thunder. Adu started to play without the ball more, so Anxi has been closely following Adu, for fear that when Adu runs without the ball and throws Anxi away.

This time Anxi's opponent is Kevin Durant, an old opponent. Anxi failed to defend the first two times. After having a top single defense this time, Anxi only has a little confidence. Adu is too difficult to defend. Tall, Anxi has no advantage, long wingspan, Anxi still has no advantage, coupled with super accurate jump shots and increasingly sophisticated off-ball running, Anxi feels that Adu is more difficult to guard than Carmelo Anthony.

In fact, Anxi knows that his defense is a sticky defense. Generally, it is more effective against holding the ball, and it is not so against the sky against off the ball. Therefore, Anxi thinks that the effect against Adu will not be very good.

The Thunder took the ball with Westbrook, and Adu withdrew to the bottom corner first, and the Thunder pulled away, as if to let Westbrook play singles.

Facing Tony Parker's defense, Westbrook tried to break through a few times, but there was no good opportunity.

At this time, Adu suddenly moved, took a step, and quickly circled to the penalty area.

Anxi also hurried to follow. At this time, he was defending Adu without the ball.

Running to the penalty area, Kendrick Perkins lowered his hands and blocked Anxi firmly. In order to bypass the obstacle of Kendrick Perkins, Anxi took a little time, but it didn't take much, Jeff Horner Seck let Anxi do special training around the pile, and now it doesn't improve Anxi's off-ball skills, but it makes Anxi's speed of breaking through pick-and-roll screens increase a lot.

Quickly catching up with Adu, Anxi thought that this wave of off-ball was over.

However, at that moment, Adu suddenly turned back and killed Anxi with a carbine. Anxi couldn't react in time, and Kendrick Perkins appeared again on the only way Anxi was chasing Adu. In such a split second, Anxi lost track.

Adu received a pass from Westbrook at a 45-degree position on the left, shot a piercing arrow, hit the basket, and scored 2 points.

Didn't defend the first ball? Popovich on the sidelines subconsciously took two steps. He didn't know if Anxi was really unable to defend or was just looking for a feeling. In fact, Anxi was often unable to defend the first defense when he came on the court. It took 6 games. , Anxi had 4 games where the opponent made the first goal, and then the opponent who defended missed consecutively, Popovich Anxi.

The game continued, and the Spurs took a good position in the frontcourt. Anxi's position was the same as Adu's position in the Thunder's half.

What’s different is that the Spurs’ top position is a screen coordination. Boris Diaw made a pick-and-roll screen for Tony Parker. After attracting the Thunder’s double-team, Diaw began to run back, but Parker’s ball did not come out. , the offense had to be reorganized again.

Anxi knew that he had to play at this time. He moved and quickly circled from the free throw line. With the help of Boris Dior's cover, Anxi circled to the top of the arc, and Adu followed Anxi all the time. At this time, Tony Parker cut into the inside, and Tim Duncan, who ran to the other side, got a chance. Tim Duncan caught the ball from the middle distance and made a hit!

From this attack and defense, the gap between Anxi and Adu came out. Adu easily ran out of an open space, but Anxi was followed by Adu. You know, in terms of defense, Anxi is better than Adu. It means that Adu's off-ball is more than one level better than Anxi's.

The game continued, and the Spurs' offense had nothing to do with Anxi. His role was to attract the defensive attention of a Thunder player. On the defensive end, after the first ball failed to defend Adu, Anxi defended Adu's next singles, and then missed the ball without the ball.

Anxi was a little depressed. Sure enough, his defense was very effective for holding the ball.

Without the ball, the effect is not good.

Of course, this is also related to Anxi's own poor off-the-ball skills. If Anxi's off-the-ball skills reach Adu's level, Anxi may be able to guess Adu's running. The most important thing now is Adu's running. Anxi couldn't figure it out, and Kendrick Perkins' cover effect was good.

In the middle of the first quarter of the game, Anxi's defense against Adu finally had some effect.

In the Thunder's offense, Adu is still without the ball. In the previous few offenses, Adu found that he was very uncomfortable when he met Anxi's defense in singles with the ball. After running without the ball, he caught the ball and shot. Even if Anxi caught up, he would It’s very comfortable, so he’s learned to be smart now. Every ball is off the ball. Anyway, Westbrook’s pass is good. In addition, Harden also came up at this time. The pass of this guard duo is already very good for Adu. enough.

Standing at 45 degrees on the right side for a while, Serge Ibacara came out, but not as a pick-and-roll for Westbrook, but as a screen for Adu. The meaning of this running is too obvious, Anxi hurriedly followed , The ground is very tight. After all, the quality of the 28-card pick-and-roll is average, and it is not as good as Perkins.

But Adu rushed all the way to the penalty area, circled under the basket, and passed the cover of Perkins. This time Anxi took a lot of time.

Adu thought so too. He didn't even look behind him. He ran to the left corner of the three-point line, turned around and received Harden's transfer ball. This position was originally Harden's, but Harden directly withdrew. Going out would free up a large open space for Adu.

Seeing that Adu is about to make a move...

Anxi suddenly appeared! This time, he was not delayed too long by Perkins, and rushed in front of Adu, directly blocking Adu's shooting angle.

Bang... No entry!

Gregg Popovich on the sidelines shook his hands excitedly. Anxi actually blocked the ball, broke through the double screen, followed Adu's running, and then blocked the ball.

This is the first ball that Adu catches and throws under Anxi's defense. Originally, Popovich was going to call a timeout to adjust the defense, and was going to play a rotation defense. The focus was on Adu's off-ball. Looking at it now, it seems that There is still hope?

There is indeed hope. Anxi immediately found the feeling. It was the feeling Jeff Hornacek gave him, or the slalom. Anxi found that slewing is not the same as stalking people. People can block themselves and slow down their speed. Yes, but the stakes are not good, and why Anxi can't catch up with Adu, because Perkins slowed down Anxi's speed, so now, Anxi simply bypasses Perkins' cover completely, Perkins can't move to block himself Bar?

Wouldn't that be a mobile pick and roll?

Therefore, Anxi would rather slow down when chasing Adu at the beginning, and leave enough space for himself to bypass the next obstacle to cover. In this way, Anxi's defense was successful this time...

Then, Adu, who was defended by Anxi in the same way, missed another mid-range shot, and Popovich was relieved.
