Super Role Player

Chapter 296: Decide the direction of the game

After the award ceremony, the official competition began.

0:2 behind the Grizzlies continue to put out their main lineup, and the Spurs played all the main force.

The Grizzlies who walked to the edge of the cliff burst out with a very strong fighting power. From the beginning of the first quarter, they bit the Spurs firmly, and even led the Spurs for a time. However, under Popovich’s several timely timeouts, the Spurs have always been in control of the game. Although they did not expand the lead, they have maintained a point difference of about 2 points.

The lead is not big, Popovich is not in a hurry, and then follow the usual routine for substitutions.

In the last quarter of the game, the two teams entered a decisive battle.

"After three quarters, the Grizzlies are still 2 points behind, but this is their best performance in the Western Conference semifinals. They can maintain the 2 point difference to the last quarter and the Grizzlies still have a chance to win, but the premise is, They can withstand the impact of the main Spurs after a half-quarter break." Turner Sports' Reggie Miller is still not very optimistic about the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies had a lasting fight in this game.

The point difference is also very small, but the Spurs' main force rested in the second half of the third quarter, but the Grizzlies' main force has not rested. Can Marc Gasol, who has returned from injury, hold it up? How about McConley and them?

The situation is not as good as expected.

However, the Grizzlies fans were optimistic. Before the start of the fourth quarter, they gave a huge cheer.

Both teams are the main players. The Spurs let Anxi and Leonard partner on the wing. Obviously Popovich is also serious. The advantage of Anxi and Leonard’s partner is that the wing defense and offense are comprehensive. This This advantage will be shown very clearly in the fourth quarter.

In the first offense of the fourth quarter, the Spurs had the ball. Tony Parker broke through and was blocked by McConley, so he forced a shot and missed. In the fourth quarter of the game, every offense was a hand-to-hand battle. The Grizzlies were unwilling to let go, and the Spurs also wanted to play three games in a row to avoid night dreams.

Tony Parker missed the shot and the Grizzlies found a chance to tie the score. McConley rushed to the frontcourt, turned around in two whirlwinds, and directly passed Tony Parker and Tim Duncan. Although Anxi made a layup, but also Tony Allen was omitted.

So, Tony Allen took the ball and shot, Anxi looked up and looked forward to the goal not to score because he knew that Tony Allen's shot was not good.

But things backfired, with a scream, the basketball hit! The Grizzlies evened the score.

The FedEx Arena immediately burst into cheers, rumbling, and directly turning the arena into a noise collecting field.

The game continued, and the Spurs began their offense amidst the noise made by the Memphis fans.

The noise made his ears a little bit painful. An Xi rubbed his ears. He wandered around the bottom corner for a while. The Spurs passed the ball several times, but they couldn't find any chance. Until the basketball came to Anxi's hands, he was in the bottom corner. After receiving this basketball, Anxi suddenly felt that if he came to singles for the next few shots, he would definitely win them all.

This feeling became stronger and stronger, so as time went faster and faster, Anxi chose to make a breakthrough.

Defending Anxi is Taixia Anxi, the former Pistons Five Tigers, and the long-arm defense strange on the outside, but Anxi knows that Prince is old, so Anxi made this breakthrough very resolutely!

After a sudden rush, Prince speeded up to follow up, but Anxi suddenly stopped.

With a loud bang, Prince stopped anxiously, and there was an unpleasant sound of friction of sneakers on the floor.

Anxi’s emergency stop was not over at all. He directly dribbled the ball under the hip, moved laterally, and accelerated again. He accelerated from Prince’s side, and Prince stretched his long arm, wanting Stopping An Xi, but An Xi didn't stop at all, rushing directly towards the inside, and throwing off Prince with absolute speed.

"Anxi! He broke through!" FedEx Arena exclaimed. Anxi's breakthrough broke the Grizzlies' defense!

Marc Gasol sat on the inside lane and looked at Anxi galloping forward. Gasol moved his legs to make himself stand firmer, and then stretched out his hands, seemingly ready to encircle the coming Anxi.

However, Anxi suddenly stopped one step ahead of the restricted area!

FedEx Arena once again rang out in exclamation, because Anxi was completely empty in front of him. With this ball, Anxi could make a sudden stop jumper!

The basketball was softly thrown by An Xi, and then there was a scream, clean and neat, An Xi directly used his own breakthrough to defeat the Grizzlies' defense.

Marc Gasol shook his hand a little depressed. He always felt that An Xi was going to rush into the inside basket, so he did not move to make up the defense, and Prince was even more depressed. He was eaten to death by An Xi. Dead, he couldn't help but sigh. Sure enough, it is now the world of young people.

Anxi scored and the Spurs' bench cheered. The Spurs regained their lead by 2 points. Popovich began to shout from the sidelines: "Defense, defense! Don't be ashamed! Pay more attention to defense!"

An Xi's heart jumped, wasn't he the one who missed the Grizzlies's last goal, but when he heard the last sentence, An Xi was relieved that he missed it just to make up for it.

McConley pushed forward. Marc Gasol made a pick-and-roll screen for Zach Randolph at the free throw line. Randolph threw Duncan a step away and rushed directly to the high post. At this time, McConley found the gap in time and passed directly. The ball passes.

Remembering to pay attention to the defense, Anxi immediately straddled the past, using his body to get close to Zach Randolph.

In the two games, Anxi's yan shot and buckle made Zach Randolph a little afraid of Anxi, so as soon as Anxi posted it, Randolph subconsciously took a step back, and then avoided Anxi and wanted to break through.

However, since Anxi took over Randolph's defense, he naturally couldn't let Randolph get a chance to score easily, so he immediately posted a fiercely towards Randolph.

Randolph was a little uncomfortable being forced by this force, so he had no choice but to pass the ball.

The Grizzlies’ offense was already difficult, and a dozen seconds was wasted. Now they have to reorganize the offense. In the end, the ball can only become a strong shot. Marc Gasol faced Split's strong shot and eventually didn't make it.

Duncan grabbed the rebound and the Spurs' opportunity to continue to widen the point difference came.

The Spurs launched a fast break. Anxi had already rushed towards the frontcourt. Duncan passed the ball to Parker. Parker was a half-court pass. Anxi, who took the lead in the frontcourt, received the basketball, and he was in front of him. There is only one defensive player left, and it is Tony Allen.

As the center of the Grizzlies' perimeter defense, although the Grizzlies have lost two games, Tony Allen's defense is the most troublesome point for the Spurs. He can always be the first to return to the defense and then choke off the Spurs' fast break.

At this time, Tony Allen was still retreating quickly, and An Xi also accelerated to the inside. The duel between the two was about to start.

"The duel between Anxi and Tony Allen! The duel between two outside strongmen!" Craig Sager shouted excitedly.

Although it was a duel between two perimeter single-defense strongmen, it was no less intense than the duel between two offensive masters. There was a muffled bang, and the two collided together.

Anxi never thought of avoiding Tony Allen to make an emergency stop jumper. With this shot, he wanted to play the morale of the Spurs!

Squeezing Tony Allen fiercely, An Xi forcibly jumped up under the basket, holding the ball in his right hand, and smashing it toward the basket.

"Don't think about it!" Tony Allen yelled, his hideous face suddenly appeared in front of Anxi, stretched out his hand, and moved towards the basketball hood.

An Xi yelled, it was a hysterical yell, he rallied all his energy and suddenly leaned towards the basket.

Clang!

"Dunk! Anxi! He dunked Tony Allen directly! The goal was scored!"

There was an exclamation in the FedEx Arena, and there was a cheering in a corner of the stadium, followed by boos all over the world.

"With a four-point lead, the Spurs are expanding their lead."

There is one more thing Craig Sager didn't say, that is, in the fourth quarter, Anxi suddenly emerged and began to dominate the game.

Anxi's offensive and defensive performance is very good, the balance of the game gradually fell to the Spurs, Anxi scored consecutively on the offensive end, and the Spurs gradually expanded their lead. In the next three minutes, the Spurs continued to expand. The point difference, three minutes later, the point difference came to 7 points.

Then, Anxi hit Prince with a squeeze from the back, and then a turnaround jumper scored 2 points, and the point difference came to 9 points.

Lionel Hollins made a timeout gesture and called out one of his only two timeouts.

The timeout was very effective. The Grizzlies stopped the downward trend, but only so. The Spurs maintained their 7-point advantage until the end of the game. Then, the Grizzlies defeated the Grizzlies 98:91 away and the Western Conference semifinals 3:0. Lead the Grizzlies.

With a big score of 3:0, the Spurs have almost rushed into the Western Conference Finals ~www.ltnovel.com~ on the sidelines, Craig Sagel sighed and said: "It's a pity that this game may be the entire Grizzlies series. At the end of the third quarter, they were only behind by 2 points, but no one expected that there would be an Anxi in the fourth quarter. Anxi’s offense and defense played a huge role, although Anxi’s was the first few games. The performance is also very good, but this kind of dazzling performance that determines the outcome of the game has never appeared."

Reggie Miller nodded: "Yes, this game should be the best chance for the Grizzlies. If they win the game, then they still have the chips to turn the entire series, but if they lose, then In a game, they can only shout slogans that they refuse to sweep."

He paused and continued: "Anxi’s outstanding performance is not only in this game, but just a few scoring and defense in the fourth quarter of this game. They are all too important. Those scoring and defense are directly related to Decided the victory of the game. Although he only scored 15 points in this game, anyone who really watched the game knew that Anxi was the best player in this game."

Craig Sager and Reggie Miller played Anxi wildly, but no one thought it was wrong. After all, Anxi’s key goals and defenses had only been in the past ten minutes, and they are still impressed, especially the dunk. The entire FedEx Arena was shaken three times! (To be continued.)
