Super Role Player
Chapter 139: Consecutive steals
The second quarter ended in anxiety.
67:66, the Spurs led by 1 point and entered the intermission time.
The fifth game of the two teams was so entangled, which surprised everyone. After all, from the previous three games, the Spurs have fully grasped the initiative of the series, and the three big victories also made the Grizzlies helpless. As a result, in this game, the Grizzlies were very tenacious from the beginning. When they fell behind, they chased points again and again until the end of the half. They were only 1 point behind.
Zach Randolph scored 18 points on 8 of 12 shots in the first half. OJ Mayo came off the bench and scored 15 points on 7 of 11 shots. The breakout of the two directly contributed to half of the Grizzlies' points. The individual is leading.
The locker room of the home team was very quiet. Anxi Geyou was lying on the leather padded chair, his head raised, enjoying the cold breeze from the central air conditioner above his head.
In June, San Antonio has entered the summer. The hot temperature makes the arena even if there is air-conditioning. Everyone is sweating so much that as soon as they enter the locker room, they ask the staff to turn the center. The temperature of the air conditioner is lowered, and the wind speed is adjusted higher, and then the air blower above everyone's head blows out a refreshing cold wind.
Popovich didn't have much to adjust. He walked to the center of the locker room and said a few words about the substitution in the second half, and then sat aside and went blowing.
Although the Spurs are currently only one point ahead, Popovich is not in a hurry, slowly holding on to the game, and the Spurs will definitely win in the end. There is no doubt about this. After all, the Grizzlies played the entire first half with the main force. The Spurs have long been replaced by the bench, the bench is the main force, and still leads by one point, think about it, there is really nothing to worry about.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Anxi played the first half and rested. The Spurs sent point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Danny Green, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward DeJuan Blair and center Tim. Duncan's lineup.
The Grizzlies also made substitutions. They replaced the main players who played in the first half, and then kept OJ Mayo on the court with a bunch of substitutes against the main players of the Spurs, namely point guard Gilbert Ali. Nas, small forward Quincy Pondekst, power forward Maris Speights and center Hamad Haddadi.
The game restarted. Tony Parker took control of the ball to the front court, broke through and failed to make a layup. The rebound was picked up by Hamad Haddadi. At the beginning of the second half, Tony Parker had to find a sense.
Off the court, Anxi glanced at Hamad Haddadi. This Iranian center is considered an old opponent of the Chinese national team. This year’s Olympics is nothing Iran’s. In next year’s men’s basketball tournament, Anxi may play against Hamad. Haddadi fought.
After Hamad Haddadi grabbed the rebound, he passed the ball to OJ Mayo. A few of the main players were not on the court, and Mayo became the ball-handler on the court. Of course, generally speaking, the ball was given to Gilbert Arena. The former No. 0 agent, but Mayo was in good shape in this game, he unceremoniously grabbed the ball in his hands.
Danny Green defended Mayo, he posted a bit tight Mayo, it should be said that the defense is still good.
But Mayo's state is really good today. He turned around to strengthen the line change and shook Danny Green. The outside shot succeeded and scored 3 points. The Grizzlies actually took the lead directly!
Popovich saw that the momentum was not right. This Mayo's state is a bit similar to that of Kobe's back then. Popovich did not dare to take any risks. He found a chance to die and replaced Anxi.
"China Ann is back, Gregg Popovich replaced him, the target should be aimed at O.J. Mayo."
"Yes, O.J. Mayo has almost scored 20 points. Without restrictions in this state, it will be very difficult for the Spurs to win."
played again, Anxi took the task of restricting O.J. Mayo, the Grizzlies' offensive round, Anxi stood directly beside Mayo.
The Grizzlies serve from the touchline, O.J. Mayo bypasses the screen and receives the basketball.
Anxi also stuck it up, holding the ball in both hands, and after observing the situation of the inside line, he started a slow dribble on the spot.
One hand dribbles the ball, and the other hand stretches out to direct his teammates. He didn't notice Anxi's strangeness at all.
At this time, An Xi slowly lowered his body and stared down at the basketball in Mayo's hands. Then, leaning forward, he suddenly stretched out his right hand and knocked the basketball in Mayo's hands with his fingertips!
"Steal!" Mike Tirick yelled, An Xi flew to pick up the ball and steal it! This was Anxi's third steal in this game. O.J. Mayo did not expect Anxi to reach for a steal. When he turned his head, Anxi had already flew to the frontcourt with the ball.
Facing the empty frontcourt, Anxi did not hesitate at all, rushing to the inside and pulling up was a dunk and scored two points!
The Spurs and Grizzlies tied, but in Popovich's view, Anxi's steals and dunks mean not a tie, but more leads.
The Grizzlies’ offense restarted. O.J. Mayo still can’t change the bad habit of sticking the ball, but this time he has been more careful with the dribble.
Bowed his head down, looked around, observing the situation on the field, Mayo still stared at Anxi from his side.
Just when he looked at Anxi from the side of light, he found that Anxi had stretched out his hands again, with long arms, directly towards the basketball in Mayo's hands.
Mayo was so frightened that he hugged the ball with both hands and stopped dribbling.
But Anxi's right hand kept on, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com became faster!
Snap! Anxi directly cut the basketball in Mayo's hands! The action was very clean, Anxi's hand first touched the basketball in Mayo's hand, so the referee did not call a foul.
Anxi grabbed the basketball and rushed to the front court again!
No one was defending, Anxi showed another wave of dunks and scored two more points. The Spurs led by two points.
Popovich clapped on the sidelines, then backed down and sat on the bench.
The game continued, Mayo didn't seem to learn his lesson, he still asked for the ball from Maris Speights and slowly took control to the frontcourt.
However, OJ Mayo was more careful with the ball this time, and Anxi did not reach out at will. At this time, Mayo was already concerned about Anxi's steal. Maybe Anxi fouled or something, it would not be worth the loss. Up.
In the defense, An Xi deliberately put a flaw, so Mayo found this flaw and rushed into the post.
An Xi was not so happy either. He was clinging to Mayo. When Mayo rushed outside the penalty area, he suddenly stopped. An Xi followed the emergency brake, holding his hands high, and placing them on Mayo's head.
Mayo did not force a shot. Faced with the tremendous pressure from Anxi, Mayo chose to break through, dribble under the crotch, take a half-turn, and then make a dribble with both hands behind him, ready to go from Anxi. Breaking through his side, slipped to the basket.
But this set of actions stopped abruptly when it was done halfway.
When Mayo turned halfway around, he dribbled the ball behind his back. This gave Anxi a chance. He stretched out his right hand and took it lightly, and another steal was done!
