Super Role Player

Chapter 98 Super Single Defense

"Ann, you play, the task is to guard Klay Thompson." After thinking for a long time, Popovich finally made up his mind, smiled, why fight with these fans, the most important thing is to win the game.

On the Warriors' side, the players who paused were all smiling. Mark Jackson smiled and patted Klay Thompson who came down.

"Good job, Klay, but next, the Spurs will be replaced by Anxi, you have to keep working hard!"

Klay Thompson smiled: "Anxi? I ​​was thinking about meeting him!" Klay Thompson was confident enough to break through the defense of the Spurs' two perimeter defenders one after another. He wanted to challenge Anxi, who has been in a hot state recently.

"Then you have to work hard, Clay, Anxi is not so easy to challenge." Stephen Curry, who was wearing a suit, said with a smile.

"Of course!" Klay Thompson was confident.

With 2 minutes and 22 seconds left in the first quarter, Anxi played, and the Oracle Arena was filled with cheers.

Anxi finally played, and the Chinese fans in San Francisco held up special signs to cheer for Anxi, and the entire Oracle Arena seemed to have suddenly become Anxi's home stadium.

"Anxi! Come on! Anxi! Come on!" There was a cheer in Chinese from the sidelines, and Anxi waved towards the gathering area of ​​Chinese fans, causing another burst of cheers.

Klay Thompson has already stood on the opposite side of Anxi. Klay Thompson feels uncomfortable with the cheers Anxi has received. After all, this is the Warriors' home court. In his own home court, the opponent has received such a big cheer. Klay Thompson The mood is understandable.

In the Spurs' offense, Anxi made a screen for Patrick Mills in a high position. After attracting the defense, the blocker shot. Anxi's mid-range shot made a hard hit and scored 2 points as soon as he played.

Seeing the basketball go into the basket, Anxi raised the right hand that threw the basketball high, pointing to the sky, and cheers rang out from the sidelines.

Returning to the backcourt defense, Anxi faced Klay Thompson. He asked for the ball from Charles Jenkins and faced Anxi with a triple threat.

The action of the triple threat is to face the defensive player, bend down, hold the ball with both hands on the side of the waist, and keep shaking the body. This action is very convenient whether it is breakthrough, passing or direct shooting, so it is called the triple threat. action.

"Ann, I know your defense is very good, but today, my hands are hot and I'm going to blow you up!" Klay Thompson was very direct, blurting out trash talk.

Anxi was unmoved, he listened to a lot of trash talk, and when he was training single defense with Bruce Bowen some time ago, he didn't listen to too much trash talk.

Seeing Anxi's indifference, Klay Thompson curled his lips silently. Anyway, he just wanted to blow up Anxi, and now he is very confident.

How confident is Klay Thompson? It was enough that he wanted to hit Anxi with the ball first.

Holding the ball and posing as a triple threat, Klay Thompson took a step to test it, but Anxi didn't respond. Klay Thompson's test was too fake, and he didn't move his center of gravity.

Seeing that Anxi didn't respond, Klay Thompson didn't waste any more time. He took a stride and rushed forward. Anxi stopped in front of Klay Thompson steadily.

Klay Thompson then dribbled the ball under his crotch, shaking his shoulders sharply, and then suddenly changed direction and took a step from the other side of Anxi.

Anxi's defense was very stable. He took a few easy steps and entangled Klay Thompson. Klay Thompson couldn't get out of Anxi's defensive circle at all.

Klay Thompson continued to shake his shoulders, kept making fake moves, and swayed his feet left and right. His right foot suddenly took a step forward, and his left foot followed closely. Anxi took a step back. Bright, saw an opportunity.

He quickly withdrew his left foot and made a step-back jumper in place!

Anxi reacted immediately,

Anxi didn't pay attention to this distance at all. He stretched out his right arm and skillfully blocked Klay Thompson's shooting angle with his right hand!

If there is any difference between Anxi's defense and Kawhi Leonard's defense, Anxi thinks that Anxi's blocked shots may be more threatening. Many players have to adjust their shooting posture when facing Anxi's blocked shots. The result was a missed shot.

Anxi blocked Klay Thompson's shot, and the angle of the block was also very good. Klay Thompson had to adjust his shooting angle, and the final shot also ended in a hit.

The Spurs grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack. Patrick Mills counterattacked to the frontcourt with the ball. Before the Warriors could stand still, he rushed to the free throw line and made a throw, scoring 2 points.

A few seconds later, Klay Thompson faced Anxi again. This time he learned how to behave. He found that although Anxi was not as aggressive as Kawhi Leonard, he was even more difficult to deal with. Kawhi Leonard, especially the blocking of the shot at the end, almost made Klay Thompson feel that the ball must be missed.

So, this ball Klay Thompson learned his lesson. He chose to play off the ball and play the ball to avoid Anxi's strengths.

But Klay Thompson is not Kevin Durant. He can rely on his superior off-the-ball and precise shooting to make Anxi unable to defend. Klay Thompson is now at best a starting-level shooting guard. This game feels hot , There is no threat to Anxi's defense.

Still running back, Klay Thompson took a step away from Anxi, and Charles Jenkins' pass also arrived, catch and shoot!

Anxi rushed over, hitting the basketball with a pair of big hands, and it's crazy!

With a snap, the basketball fell from Klay Thompson's hands and onto the ground! Anxi, who landed, snatched the basketball. Seeing this, the other Warriors players frantically returned to defense.

Anxi was not in a hurry, and when Klay Thompson came back to his senses, he slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.

On the sidelines, Popovich sat back in his seat safely. Anxi's defense reassured him so much. Klay Thompson, who was killing all directions just now, was strangled to death by Anxi. There was a slight chance nothing.

The game was controlled by the Spurs in this way, and Anxi saved the Spurs again. After playing, he locked Klay Thompson, who scored 15 points in a row.

After Anxi played, Klay Thompson could no longer find his touch, and it was useless no matter how hot his hands were.

Soon, at the end of the first quarter, at 35:30, the Spurs took a 5-point lead in turn.

In the second quarter, because of the presence of Anxi, the Spurs began to exert force, and Klay Thompson began to sleepwalk. The Warriors' offense was chaotic and their defense was easily broken. At the end of the second quarter, the Spurs beat the Warriors 37:20 and took the lead at halftime. scored 22 points.

In this way, Anxi was put on the bench again by Popovich in the second half, and the game has stabilized, so let these San Francisco fans worry!
