Super Role Player

"On the field, the Thunder's offense, we can see that the bottom corner is our Chinese player Anxi, and he is facing Kevin Durant. The Thunder's offense is very strong, and the four players are on the court at the same time." CCTV , Yu Jia introduced the situation on the court with a super fast speech speed.

Anxi entangled Adu, and the game had entered the last moment of the second quarter. At this moment, the Thunder still led the Spurs by 5 points.

Greg Popovich has to admit that the Thunder are very strong this season. The Spurs actually lost out in the three matches. Greg Popovich originally thought that the Spurs would have a good chance in this game. As a result, Anxi defended against Kevin. Durant's effect is not very good. Now that the four young players are together, the Spurs are a little bit overwhelmed.

"Westbrook broke through, he split the ball, Durant in the bottom corner has come to the top of the arc, Anxi followed him closely, the chance was not very good, but Durant still made a shot! The ball is there !” Yu Jia shouted loudly. "It actually entered! As expected of Adu, Anxi's defense is already in place!"

"That's right, Durant didn't play the ball very reasonably, but there's nothing he can do about it. Even if he has the strength, he can score unreasonably." Director Zhang echoed.

Anxi on the field was a little helpless. He blocked Adu's catch and shoot several times in a row, but he failed to defend the ball. It can only be said that Adu's shooting is too against the sky. It's not that you want to defend, you want to If you can prevent it, you can prevent it.

The Thunder made a three-pointer, and with 33 seconds left in the second quarter, the Spurs trailed by 8 points.

The point difference is actually not that big, but Popovich is still a little anxious. The four young players all went to the Spurs to show a decline, and the gap was slowly opened up by 8 points in the second quarter.

In the Spurs' offense, Tony Parker held the ball outside the three-point line to control the time, knowing that he only had one chance to attack. The Spurs tried to delay the time as much as possible to make the Thunder's last attack time shorter.

After a delay of sixteen or seventeen seconds, Tony Parker made a gesture, and Anxi quickly withdrew from the corner.

"Anxi ran from the bottom corner to the free throw line and made a pick-and-roll for Tony Parker. Tony Parker shot directly! The iron was hit, and the rebound was taken by Perkins!"

"Russell Westbrook received the pass. His speed was very fast. There were only 8 seconds left in the second quarter, and he rushed directly to the frontcourt! Three points!" Yu Jia quickly explained, directed by Zhang There was also a loud shout: "Hey! This ball is here! Westbrook's ball is so good! He actually scored!"

"Then the second quarter ended. At halftime, the Thunder led by 11 points, and with the outstanding performance of the four young men, they completely suppressed the Spurs..."

Yu Jia's voice of commentary became smaller and smaller, and Anxi followed his teammates back to the locker room.

In the first half, his defense against Adu was not good. Adu took 13 shots in two quarters, hit 6 of them, and scored 16 points. However, when he returned to the locker room, Popovich still praised Anxi's defense.

"In the first half, our defense was not very good, and we couldn't effectively control the Thunder's outside double guards, but Ann, the task I gave you, you did a good job, although Kevin Durant still got it 16 points, but you have defended very well, in the second half, keep working hard."

Although Popovich really hopes that Anxi can defend against Adu and miss a few shots, he also knows that a superstar like Adu is fine when he is in a normal state. Once the state is good, it is not bad to be able to defend Anxi like this up. After all, Adu, who was still defending Anxi, missed 7 shots. If he were replaced by other defenders, he would have to score four or five of these seven shots. By then, the Spurs might really be over.

While Anxi listened to Popovich's praise, he still couldn't believe it. He was thinking, isn't Coach Popovich talking ironically?

In fact, it is not. It can only be said that Anxi is too strict with himself. In the first half, Adu, who defended Anxi, had to do his best for every ball, and he missed 7 shots just like that. I can feel my hands are hot.

As a result, he still missed half of his shots. There are probably no more than three defensive players in the league who can defend Adu in such a state and miss more than half of his shots. Tony Allen of the Grizzlies counts as one, and Anxi now counts one already.

At the beginning of the second half, Adu went off to rest, and the Spurs also took Anxi off to rest. The Spurs sent Manu Ginobili to bring a substitute lineup to play, and the Thunder played Harden with Ibaka and a bunch of substitutes. , In the second half of the game, the Spurs' goal is to even out the 11-point difference.

Manu Ginobili is the most creative player of the Spurs. Anxi is convinced of this. Once on the court, facing James Harden, who is also developing towards the best sixth man, Manu changed his direction at an old age. Drive James Harden, rush one step inside the three-point line, make a super long two-point shot, and make a successful hit with a bang.

Then, back on the defensive end, Manu cut the ball again as an old man, and broke the ball in James Harden's hands. His rich experience was fully revealed. After stealing the ball, he directly shot a chasing three-pointer and scored again!

At the beginning of the second half, Manu Ginobili had a small climax.

The Spurs started chasing points, taking advantage of the absence of the four minorities on the court at the same time, to even out the 11-point difference.

On the court, after several more offensive rounds, the best sixth man of the old generation slowly suppressed the best sixth man of the new generation, and the point difference quickly narrowed to less than 5 points. Scott Brooks quickly reacted, Russell Westbrook was replaced, and the outside double guard played again.

Popovich didn't hesitate either, and all three veterans of GDP played.

In the first round after the substitution, the Thunder's offense, Westbrook and Harden completed a beautiful back line cooperation, Westbrook rushed inside to attract the defense, Harden followed up and received Westbrook's air pass Completed the layup, scored two points, and the point difference returned to more than 5 points, and the point difference was 6 points.

However, the performance of the three veterans of GDP was even more sophisticated. When the score was behind, Popovich replaced the three veterans, hoping that they could use their ten years of experience as a partner to open up the situation.

The three elders cooperated in a series of high positions. Tim Duncan screened, Tony Parker broke through with the ball, and Manu Ginobili made an air cut. The three of them disrupted the Thunder's defense at once. , Tim Duncan made a successful mid-range shot.

Back on the defensive end, Tim Duncan sat in the penalty area, James Harden's breakthrough layup was blocked, and the three veterans of GDP gradually controlled the situation on the court.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, the situation was reversed by the Spurs. The three elders did a very good job in offense and defense, and the remaining point difference was quickly smoothed out.

Scott Brooks has no good solution. In the final analysis, the Thunder is a superstar tactic. He can only put superstars on the field one by one. The outbreak of the GDP three elders forced Scott Brooks to replace Kevin Durant. Anxi then Also followed suit.
