Chapter 74 Advance Evolved Death Coil

One of the biggest highlights of the Knicks vs. Spurs is the duel between the Knicks ace small forward Carmelo Anthony and the Spurs' new favorite small forward Kawhi Leonard.

Well, but judging from the current situation, Leonard feels a bit defeated in front of Anthony, who has changed his style of play.The offense can't attack, and the defense can't stop Anthony, who has slowly changed his style of play.

This, it's still too early, Leonard is far from mature, and he and Anthony are not at the same level at this time.

"Greg, why don't you ask Qin to help? Kawhi feels too strenuous." The off-court assistant coach couldn't stand watching Leonard being bullied by Anthony, so he quickly suggested to Popovich.

"Wait a minute." Popovich did not agree.

"Why? Are you going to continue to embarrass him? His confidence will be destroyed by Cameron!" The assistant coach didn't understand.

"Kawhi is much stronger than you think." Popovich gave the assistant coach a blank look. "Moreover, if Qin is asked to help now, it can only show that we no longer trust him. For him, this is the biggest blow to his self-confidence."

The assistant coach doesn't speak. Indeed, if he does that, it will really deal a big blow to the players. The blow brought by the opponent is far less than that brought by the coach's distrust.

"Qin can survive facing Kobe. I believe Kawhi can do it too. Cameron's lethality will not be greater than Kobe." The hands on the chest are tightly grasping his sleeves.Obviously, Popovich's heart is not so peaceful. This time, it is obviously a big gamble for him.

On the court, Anthony and Leonard faced off again.

"Hey, kid, don't you give up?" Anthony hit several times in a row, and his vigilance towards Leonard was slightly relaxed.

Leonard didn't answer. His forehead was already sweating, but he didn't bother to wipe it off. Facing Anthony, he really couldn't be careless.

Of course, Leonard is calm on the surface, but his heart is still fluctuating a lot.

When the offense and defense were switched just now, my good buddy Qin Yan came over and asked if he wanted help. Although he refused, he had to say that it would be much easier for him to have Qin Yan's help.

After all, their cooperation successfully prevented Durant, who is also a top three small forward in the league.

Another reason why Leonard refused Qin Yan's help was that Qin Yan did not escape in the duel with Kobe.

There is no option to help.In the end, Qin Yan learned a lot in the duel with Kobe, so Leonard also hopes to rely on his own strength to persist until the end in today's duel with Anthony.

Only by facing super masters alone can you become stronger.

Anthony didn't care what Leonard thought, spread his legs apart, bent over and squatted down, held the ball in front of his legs with both hands, and stared at Leonard.

This is a very common offensive move, but in Leonard's view, this is a murderous move.

"Don't be overwhelmed by his momentum, you have to strike first!" Leonard's brain was running fast, and he suddenly wanted to pounce forward, and his right hand popped out like lightning, aiming at the ball in Anthony's hand!
"Naive." Anthony sneered, took the ball with his left hand, quickly came behind him with his right hand to catch the ball, made a standard crotch dribble and then took a small jump, directly giving way to Leonard's steal, and again with a mid-range shot Add two points to the Knicks.

Tsk, still not working?Leonard clapped his hands in annoyance, and there were also big emotional fluctuations on his usually calm face.

"Xiao Ka, are you okay?" Qin Yan came up to comfort his good buddy.

"Kawhi, cheer up, you are the core of our defense." Parker came up and patted Leonard's ass.

"Calm down, don't mess up." Duncan whispered while holding Leonard's head.

At this time, Popovich quickly called a short timeout to let them adjust their emotions.

"Sorry, I couldn't guard him." Leonard was a little disappointed.

"Hey, Xiaoka, it's okay. I was beaten into a sieve by Kobe last time." Qin Yan comforted him with his own experience.

Indeed, in the original historical trajectory, Leonard really matured after going through two finals, especially after winning the FMVP for the second time.

In the original history, the starting small forward of the Spurs this season was "Wu Sheng" Jackson, but now due to the arrival of Qin Yan, Jackson was traded, and Leonard had to take the position in advance, which puts too much pressure on him .

"It's okay, you just have to defend yourself. I believe Anthony is not a problem for you." Qin Yan has great confidence in Leonard. After all, this is someone who can guard even James. How could he not be able to guard against him? What about Anthony?
It's just that he hasn't grown up yet, and it will take time.

"Kawhi," Duncan said suddenly.

"Today you just have one task, to prevent Anthony from killing you. Don't worry about the offense, just leave it to us." Duncan said in a tone of "I'm the boss and listen to me".

"Tim..." Leonard didn't know what to say. His teammates believed in him, but he almost gave up just now.

"Hey, you just let go to defend, and now he gets the points, we will help you recover." Qin Yan promised, patted his chest.

Others also looked encouraging.

Leonard only felt a little sour in his nose.

"Okay boy, let's go on the field and show the opponent some color!" Popovich didn't say much just now, and now the players in the team are really good, and he hardly said too many words of encouragement.But he timely reminded his disciples that the competition is still going on, so don't get too moved.

Back in the game, sure enough, the rest of the Spurs were trying their best to create opportunities for Leonard, blocking the others while defending, so that Anthony could only choose singles in the end, and the offensive end continued to rely on the smooth operation of the team's machine. Keeping the score, the Knicks have been unable to widen the point difference.

Anthony has no other way for the time being but to continue to blow Leonard's defense.

Leonard was sweating more than ever, he still couldn't, he still couldn't block Anthony, he should move faster, even faster!

He can see everything the teammates around him do for him. Every time Anthony gets points from his own side, his teammates will work hard to get them back from the offensive end.

However, if it continues like this, it will be impossible for the team to catch up to the point difference. They can only keep catching up but cannot overtake, and they will eventually lose the game!
Anthony once again put on a three-threat move.

"Boy with facial paralysis, since your team has so much confidence in you and insists on letting you and me single out, then I can only blow up your defense."

Ah, yes, it is because I am too weak. If my defense can be stronger, the team will not fall behind.

Anthony is not talking nonsense, he has already started to return to the basics of his movements. He just made a continuous crotch change and turned around, and he passed Leonard again!

"The Spurs are all stupid, isn't this obviously giving me points?" Although Anthony was a little puzzled.But the movement of his hands did not stop, he adjusted his position with a small jump, and he was ready to raise the ball to shoot again.

However, at this moment, a big black hand suddenly appeared from behind, like a black lightning, quickly and accurately cut off the ball in his hand!The chipped ball bounced straight off the baseline.

"My impression of you is that you like to play tricks, so you subconsciously slow down when you make a steal." A calm voice suddenly came from behind.

"When I realized that you had started to change your style of play, I realized that the reason why I couldn't guard against you and slowed down a little every time was because I was thinking too much."

"As long as you are faster, and faster, I can prevent you!"

Anthony turned his head expressionlessly, and Leonard's confident and calm face came into his eyes.

He didn't see how the facial paralysis cut off his ball for the first time, but the replay on the big screen just now clearly told people.

Leonard, when he was passed by, did not turn around and chase, but directly put his hand behind him, and then just as Anthony was about to raise the ball to shoot, he stretched out his hand and cut off the ball in Anthony's hand!

Is this a coincidence?

Anthony stared at the paralyzed kid in front of him, feeling a little surprised.

At that moment, Leonard felt as if he had realized something.

Everyone else thought it was a miracle.

Only Qin Yan is very calm, because he knows that Leonard's stunt has been practiced in advance!

The unique skill that should have been completed under the stimulation of James was completed ahead of schedule today under the pressure of Anthony!

The nightmare of all forwards and guards in the future, the defensive stunt - "Death Coil", see it!
