Super Role Player

On the court, after Anxi passed Kawhi Leonard in one step, he rushed directly to the basket.

At this moment, the Spurs only have one line of defense left inside, which is Aron Baynes who is sitting in the penalty area. Aron Baynes faces Anxi and stretches out his right hand to block Anxi's layup.

But Anxi suddenly slowed down and used a fake layup to point out Aron Baynes. Anxi took another step and reached the basket. At this time, the Spurs were already empty inside.

Facing the empty basket, Anxi easily put the basketball in.

Got two points! Anxi once again helped the team equalize the score.

Popovich couldn't stand it anymore. This time, Kawhi Leonard was indeed close to Anxi, but this was not the closeness that Popovich wanted to see. What he actually meant was to let Kawhi Leonard Degas made more defensive moves to press Anxi, instead of just sticking to Anxi like now. Anxi accelerated after a fake move, and Kawhi Leonard couldn't keep up...

Popovich seemed very angry about Kawhi Leonard's performance in this game. He called a timeout and then directly asked Marco Belinelli to defend Anxi and Kawhi Leonard to defend James Anderson. , reflect on yourself on the court.

Turning around, Popovich's words to Marco Belinelli were even more aimed at Kawhi Leonard: Marco, go defend Anxi and let Kawhi know what defense is!

Kawhi Leonard was silent, but back on the court, the Spurs' offense, Kawhi Leonard still faced Anxi.

However, this wave of Spurs' offense did not pass through Leonard's hands. Leonard only ran back and forth a few times, and then Marco Belinelli got an opportunity and took a mid-range shot.

Bang, missed.

Anxi rushed inside and jumped up to grab the rebound.

Immediately afterwards, he turned around and quickly advanced to the front court.

Holding the ball at the top of the arc in the frontcourt, Anxi was surprised to find that the Spurs had changed their defender again, and Marco Belinelli faced Anxi.

Although the defender was changed, Anxi didn't care at all. After all, judging from this game, it makes no difference no matter who defends Anxi. Anxi's offensive method does not need to change, he only needs to be himself.

Facing Marco Belinelli's defense, Anxi's offense became simpler.

It was almost an acceleration, and then Anxi used his physical advantage to crush Marco Belinelli and get inside.

After rushing into the three-point line, Anxi leaned against Marco Belinelli with his back. After shaking left and right, Anxi turned around and made a fake shot, which knocked Marco Belinelli away. Then Anxi directly threw the basketball without making any adjustments. go out.

Marco Belinelli, who was thrown away, hit Anxi in the air. With a beep, the referee decisively blew his whistle and Marco Belinelli committed a foul.

But at the same time, the referee looked at the basketball flying towards the basket, and in the next second, there was a crisp sound of wiping the net...

The ball goes in! Anxi fought a wave of 2+1!

Marco Belinelli looked cold. Not only did he fail to guard Anxi, he also allowed Anxi to score 2+1.

Not far away, Kawhi Leonard looked at Belinelli expressionlessly, which made Belinelli suddenly have a feeling: Is this kid laughing at me...

Although Marco Belinelli knew that laughing at his teammates was not what Kawhi Leonard would do, he still felt aggrieved. Popovich asked him to teach Kawhi Leonard what defense is, but he He felt like he was losing face by doing even worse than Kawhi Leonard.

Anxi went to the free throw line, steadily hit the extra free throw, and successfully hit a three-pointer to help the 76ers overtake the score.

In the first four minutes of the second quarter, the game became a one-man stage for Anxi. He opened with two pull-up three-pointers, then broke through to the basket for a layup, and just scored 2+1. The first four points of the second quarter minutes, Anxi scored 11 points. With less than 8 minutes left before the end of the first half, Anxi's personal score had soared to 24 points.

The Spurs obviously failed to prevent Anxi's explosion. In Charles Barkley's view, Popovich overestimated Kawhi Leonard's defense of Anxi, so that the Spurs did not double-team or help defend Anxi at all. This gave Anxi too many singles opportunities.

Anxi has received too many singles opportunities. Maybe Gregg Popovich still thinks Anxi is the same Anxi in the regular season, but it is obvious that Anxi has been further upgraded. Now Anxi is already a kaleidoscope on the offensive end, whether it is No one can try to defend Anxi one-on-one, because Anxi can use a variety of singles techniques to make it difficult for defenders to guard...

Some people think that Anxi now is more like Kobe Bryant in his peak period. He has many offensive methods and is extremely good at post-up singles and fadeaway jumpers. However, the defensive treatment faced by Kobe Bryant back then - no matter when, as long as If Kobe takes the ball in a threatening position, his opponent will definitely double-team him.

Obviously, Anxi should also receive this treatment. The Heat and Pacers had suffered losses before, and they quickly made changes and began to double-team Anxi.

The Spurs obviously haven't reacted yet, so Anxi broke out at the beginning of the game...

Marco Belinelli couldn't guard Anxi, and his turning attack was slapped down by Anxi who switched defense after the pick-and-roll.

And Anxi, who took the basketball, also caught the basketball on the floor in an instant, then lowered his body, suddenly accelerated and rushed out, launching a fast break.

Damn it! When did Anxi become so good! What is Greg doing? Why haven't you made changes? The Spurs fans on the sidelines became impatient, and Popovich also stood up. He found that he did underestimate Anxi. It's so powerful...

Whether on the offensive or defensive end, Popovich did not impose specific restrictions on Anxi, and the restrictions caused the Spurs to suffer in the first game of the Finals.

Popovich was already standing on the sidelines, ready to wait until the 76ers' fast break ended and then immediately call a timeout.

On the field, Anxi, who successfully stole the ball, rushed to the frontcourt. Marco Belinelli, who was blocked, tried his best to rush to the frontcourt empty-handed, but he could only stay one step behind Anxi. Therefore, Anxi, who rushed to the frontcourt, could easily see the basket, and then stepped in with one step, without caring about Marco Belinelli behind him, and was about to send the basketball into the basket...

Marcobelinelli gritted his teeth and shouted hysterically in his heart: No! damn it! I can't let you score anymore!

So, when Anxi jumped up slightly and was about to send the basketball into the basket, Marco Belinelli behind Anxi stretched out his evil hands...
