Super Role Player

"Well, after 8 games, we have reached the Western Conference Finals. I think you should also know what kind of stage this is. Most of you have played such games." In the locker room, Popovich was giving pre-match remarks. "Everyone said that the Warriors are a dark horse, and everyone said that the Warriors end here, but in fact, the team that can reach the Western Conference Finals, how can there be any dark horses, the West is not the East, and the team that can reach the Western Conference Finals. It's a strong team! So I hope you can get serious."

Popovich paused and continued: "Of course, I will be serious myself. For example, I made some adjustments to the starting roster for this game."

With that said, Popovich began to announce the start of the game: "Point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Anxi, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Tim Duncan, and center Thiago Splitter ."

Anxi was stunned for a moment. He actually entered the starting lineup, so he listened carefully. Since Popovich put himself in the starting lineup, there will definitely be special arrangements in the follow-up.

"In this game, our offensive play is the same as usual, blocking and cutting tactics, looking for good opportunities. However, with a slight change on the defensive end, we will expand the defensively." Popovich made a gesture of pushing outward, and then continued. Said: "Tim, you protect the rim, Ann and Kawhi, you are responsible for the defense, Ann, especially you, go to the weak side more defense, in addition, the most important point is that when defending the opponent's three-point shooter, Pay attention to close defense and don't give them easy three-pointers."

Popovich is obviously a little scrupulous about the Warriors' three-pointers, but think about it, if the Warriors are really allowed to shoot their three-pointers, the Spurs will not be far from being shot to death.

Anxi nodded, protecting the weak side. This task is not easy, because the Warriors are also a team that likes to grab your weak side and hit hard. Through various pick-and-roll coordination, rush to the weak side to shoot.

The game started quickly, and with the sound of the whistle, the two teams started the game.

Andrew Bogut won the jump ball, so in the first round after playing, Anxi faced Klay Thompson.

This season, Klay Thompson's improvement is also obvious. He has accurate three-pointers and tough defense. He has turned into an important player on the outside of the Warriors, both offensively and defensively. But on the offensive end, Klay Thompson's task is to cut the ball without the ball, his ability to hold the ball is not good, and now the Warriors have the ball in control of Stephen Curry.

Stephen Curry held the ball for a while, then made a breakthrough, rushed to the inside and completed a layup, scoring 2 points.

Tony Parker took the basketball from the backcourt and advanced to the frontcourt. Stephen Curry quickly posted it. Curry’s poor defense was purely due to his physical fitness, but he was really defending it. The flexibility is still very troublesome.

Tony Parker was a bit annoyed by Curry's post, but thinking of Popovich's arrangement before the game, he accelerated his pace and made a quick cut, bringing Curry into the three-point line.

After rushing inside, Tony Parker threw the ball directly to the back, Anxi bypassed Duncan's screen and directly received the basketball at the top of the arc.

Klay Thompson was stuck, Anxi took the ball and shot directly, there was no defender within two steps in front of him, and cheers were already on the sidelines.

"Anxi, a three-pointer with no defense!"

Swish, come in!

"——!" The live dj yelled amidst cheers, Anxi waved his hand excitedly. He made the first goal in the opening game, and some of them were played in this game.

With the Warriors' offense, Stephen Curry took the ball to the front court unhurriedly, and Tony Parker stood on the three-point line, waiting for Curry to come over.

Curry stepped on a foot two steps beyond the three-point line and suddenly took off. Tony Parker was shocked and rushed up.

However, with only a scream, Stephen Curry scored a long-range three-pointer two steps away!

Stephen Curry shook his head and started celebrating, and the att arena rang out with hiss.

Anxi ran towards the frontcourt while looking up at Curry's return defense. He stepped directly on the three-point line two steps away, and then the three-pointer was launched like a precise missile, and finally it was drilled. Entering the basket, the visual effect is very shocking. An Xi is also thinking, does he have this ability?

After thinking about it, he still doesn't have it. If he really makes a three-pointer two steps away from the three-point line, Anxi may be able to score one or two goals, but his shooting percentage must be terrible.

So he shook his head and started to throw himself into the offense. His three-pointer is already very good, and there is no need to compare with Curry.

Tony Parker took possession of the ball from the outside. Just when everyone thought Parker was going to play an answer-ball, Parker suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball to Tim Duncan on the inside.

Duncan got the ball in the penalty area, turned around one step at a time, and took a step towards the inside. David Lee, who defended Duncan, quickly retreated to defend. As soon as he retreated, Duncan immediately pulled it back, moving quickly and slapped the ball twice at the same time. , And then jumping up is a close shot.

David Lee jumped up and interfered, but when he jumped up, Duncan had already thrown the ball.

With a scream, the ball was scored and the Spurs equalized the score.

The Warriors' offensive speed began to accelerate. Stephen Curry urged Bogut to serve from the backcourt. After receiving the ball, he didn't even want to wait for Bogut. He rushed to the frontcourt and still had the last goal—beyond the three-point line. Two paces away, with a scream, another ultra-long three-pointer!

"Damn!" Anxi exploded directly.

Off the court, Popovich couldn't help shouting: "Tony! What are you doing! Post it! Post it!"

Stephen Curry shook his head and gritted his braces. For a while, the att arena was full of boos.

With 8 points in a row in the opening game, Stephen Curry is already a bit super superb, feels good enough to explode, and the Spurs also scored consecutive offenses, but unknowingly, the Warriors led by 1 point.

Popovich was a little anxious and kept shouting from the sidelines to direct the game, so that the referee also ran over to warn him.

And the first quarter of the game ended in the exchange between the Spurs and the Warriors.

At 31:27, the Warriors led the Spurs by 4 points. These four points are basically a pure three-point lead, so the Spurs are a bit wrong behind, but this should not hinder the excitement of some reporters off the court.

"The Spurs can't guard the Warriors' offense. Are they going to have their first defeat in the playoffs this season? Are the Warriors really going to be black?"

The Spurs' dilemma made them very excited. The second quarter started quickly. The Spurs replaced the bench, and the Warriors let Curry take Jared Jack and a group of benches to continue the second quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, after Mills missed a layup, the Warriors grabbed the rebound, Stephen Curry quickly rushed to the basket with the ball, and then gave the ball to Carl Landry, Carl Landry turned around and scored 2 points for a jumper.

The reporters off the court almost cheered, if it weren’t for the thought that they were at the Spurs’ home court...

The 6 points difference, the Spurs situation seems to be really a bit bad.

But the more this kind of time, the less anxious the Spurs, they still organize the offense slowly.

Boris Dior mentioned that he took the ball in the high post. After he got the ball, he squeezed into the inside through the gap opened by Manu Ginobili, and then he put the ball away and made a jump shot, cheating Carl Landry and the Warriors' substitute. Center Festus Azeri double-doubled.

After being double-teamed, Boris Diaw passed the ball directly, and the basketball turned around in the hands of Aaron Baynes, who was inside, and finally came to Anxi's hands.

Drummond Green, who was defending Anxi, was just about to make up for Aaron Baynes, but when he saw Anxi taking the ball, he immediately turned around and rushed towards Anxi.

Seeing Drummond Green, Anxi thought of the regular season. During the regular season, Anxi was a little uncomfortable being guarded by Drummond Green. But Anxi is not the Anxi it was at that time. Drummond Green quickly rushed over. Anxi drove the ball twice, adjusted it, and then quickly accelerated and whizzed past Green.

Drummond Green hurriedly wrapped Anxi, but Anxi only rushed for a few steps, and suddenly stopped. Drummond Green also abruptly stopped his footsteps, but Anxi's movements were not over yet, he was half and half. Turned around, followed by another step backward, the dribbling hand kept on, and then suddenly turned around again and broke through directly again!

Drummond Green couldn't keep up with this breakthrough. An Xi rushed for two or three steps again, and when he saw Andrew Bogut greet him, he knew he had to do it.

So there was a light jump in place, and the ball was thrown in with a scream.

During the entire breakthrough, Anxi played Drummond Green with his golf quotient. Before the game, Drummond Green didn’t talk less, what the Spurs and the Warriors, the winner will only be the Warriors~www.ltnovel.com~ What's more, although he is a substitute, he will be a man-defense Spurs substitute and all misfired. .

Now Drummond Green has been taught by Anxi.

Even Anxi can't guard against it, dare to scream like that before the game?

In response to the cheers from the scene, Anxi waved his hand frantically, bringing the atmosphere in the arena to a climax.

Seeing crazy Spurs fans, Stephen Curry wanted to make a fast break and destroy the morale of the Spurs, but he quickly held the ball to the frontcourt, and when he was just about to continue to break through, Patrick Mills took it directly. The ball broke.

Stephen Curry still didn't get rid of his old problems, and his careless dribbling learned a lesson at this time. Mills' steal immediately launched a fast break, and Ginobili rushed to the front court first and succeeded in catching the ball and making a layup.

The cheers continued, but the time was high and low, and the moment Manu Ginobili succeeded in the layup, he naturally reached the highest peak, rumbling, and shaking his ears.

However, in this hot and crazy atmosphere, the Spurs are getting better and better... (To be continued.)
