(New week, please collect and recommend! New books need the support and encouragement of book friends!)

Since the Thunder moved to Oklahoma City in 2008, this agricultural and mining city in the central United States has gradually developed its own basketball culture. Watching a group of teenagers gradually grow up, the basketball atmosphere in Oklahoma City has also gradually grown. It's hot.

The game has been going on for a while. On the court, whenever Kevin Durant or Russell Westbrook gets the ball, there will be a wave of cheers from the sidelines. The head star who came here has proved his prowess through last season, and now he has won the reputation of a king bomb combination.

Facing the Thunder's explosive combination, the Spurs' response was also very sophisticated. Danny Green defended against Russell Westbrook, and Kawhi Leonard defended against Kevin Durant. Through the efforts of two single-defense masters, they strangled Thunder's two trump cards.

Of course, it’s easier said than done. The reason why the trump card is the trump card is definitely not so easy to be strangled to death. Therefore, facing the Spurs, although the Thunder Spurs played hard, they have always been with the Spurs. .

Anxi knows that if this situation continues, it will soon be his turn to play. After all, Kawhi Leonard is not a god, and he cannot defend Kevin Durant alone for a whole game.

Anxi also knows something about his next opponent-Kevin Durant.

Kevin Durant, his rookie season was still the Supersonic Thunder at the time, he got a lot of shots, and he could shoot infinitely in every game. In this way, after a season of dismal performance, Kevin Durant broke out Well, from the parallel importer in the media last season, he suddenly became a super scorer, and continued to improve in the next few seasons, winning consecutive scoring titles, the highest honor in the scoring field.

Durant's scoring style is completely different from Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. This is a tall shooter superstar. He has a real height of 211cm and a super long wingspan of 228cm. His shooting ability is extremely strong. Shooting is his most stable scoring ability.

It can be said that Kevin Durant will be the strongest opponent Anxi has ever met. The previous Blake Griffin and his ilk were at best an All-Star, but Kevin Durant is different. This is a superstar , and a future Hall of Fame player, both in terms of strength and status, are far higher than the All-Star level.

On the field, facing Kawhi Leonard's defense, Kevin Durant held the ball and observed for a while. After a few fake moves, he directly made a jumper on the spot. The posture was very beautiful, the shot was smooth, and the basketball rubbed into it. Basket, 2 points in hand.

A series of technical actions are very standard, from which we can see Durant's strength. Even though Kawhi Leonard has stretched his hands and interfered with Adu, Adu's shot still made it. This is already a This is a very powerful state. It is the kind of state that you cannot guard against. Anxi thinks that this state may only appear in superstars. Only players with this ability can be called superstars. Finally stood up to save the team.

The Spurs' offense was fast, perhaps because they knew that the Thunder's physical condition was even worse. In this game, Popovich specifically asked the team to speed up the offensive rhythm. After a few picks and cuts, Tony Parker made a layup and also scored two points.

Conversely, the Thunder was unambiguous. Adu took the ball to the frontcourt, directly hit a three-pointer, and made a successful hit.

Popovich immediately called a timeout, and Kawhi Leonard was already a little bit unable to guard against Adu. At this time, adjustments must be made, and they need to establish an advantage as soon as possible.

Although the Spurs have an advantage in physical fitness, they cannot be delayed at this time. The further the delay, the more complicated the situation, and the more unpredictable the outcome.

"Everyone is playing well, take a break, let's make some adjustments, Ann,

You play, replace Thiago, play power forward, Curry replaces Tony, play point guard, after you play, pay attention to the defense and defense against Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant on the defensive end Double-team, don't give them more opportunities, and if necessary, you can also do some defense changes with Danny and Kawhi to let them rest. "

The game has reached the fourth minute of the second quarter. Popovich quickly announced two substitutions, both of which are related to defense. Anxi moved to the power forward position to help defend Adu and Corey Joseph. Replacing Tony Parker is obviously going to take advantage of Joseph's youthful vigor against Russell Westbrook.

As soon as he played, the Spurs' offense, Anxi made a pick-and-roll for Corey Joseph steadily, and then watched Tim Duncan catch the ball and hit a rebound shot. The Spurs' offense was still not slow.

Then came the Thunder's offense. I don't know if the Thunder took stimulants in this game or what happened. Knowing that their physical fitness is not as good as the Spurs, the Thunder still speeded up along with the Spurs in this game.

Russell Westbrook dribbles the ball upfield, Cory Joseph puts it up, and he switches defenses with Danny Green.

Anxi also ran a few laps here, and after a few rotations, he finally switched defenses with Kawhi Leonard, and the opponent in front of him became Kevin Durant.

Russell Westbrook passed the ball to Kevin Durant, and the Thunder team opened up. This is going to be a singles.

Anxi stood firmly in front of Adu, but he was still a little nervous, because Anxi found that Adu was different from those he had defended before. Whether it was Blake Griffin or Paul Millsap, Anxi had a physical advantage, but this time when he faced Adu, Anxi found that Adu was not only much taller than him, but also had a pair of long arms. Scary, just from the body, Anxi felt that Adu was very difficult to guard against.

"Kevin Durant faced the Spurs' defense, and he was defended by the Spurs' outside shield, China Security. He made a tentative step and directly pulled it out!"

On the court, Kevin Durant jumped high, and in front of his slender body was Anxi who also jumped high. An Xi jumped higher, but he still couldn't reach the basketball.

In fact, Anxi jumped along with Kevin Durant's shot, but Adu's height and wingspan quickly made Anxi desperate, and he couldn't interfere with Adu at all.

With a dry pull, Adu scored 2 points again!

The Thunder cheered at home, Anxi was very helpless, how could he defend against this? He has never defended against such an opponent! At this moment, Anxi's lack of experience was exposed. Although he has defended many players, he has always performed well on the defensive end and looks very sophisticated. But facing a super giant like Adu, Anxi's experience problem arises.

Unable to guard Adu, Anxi didn't have time to think, and the Spurs' offense quickly started.

Amidst the shouts of his teammates speeding up, Anxi rushed to the frontcourt.

After running to the penalty area and following Tim Duncan to make a cross-screen cooperation, Anxi pulled all the way beyond the three-point line, and the cooperation between Corey Joseph and Danny Green in the high post has also ended, and no good opportunities were found. So the basketball was immediately passed to Anxi who was already beyond the three-point line.

Ibaka, who was defending Anxi, followed, but Anxi didn't even think about it when he was one step away. He made a three-pointer and hit it!
