Chapter 205 Conflict
Anxi jumped up for a layup, and Marco Belinelli stretched out his hands...
Then, he suddenly pulled Anxi's jersey with one hand, and directly pressed Anxi's shoulder with the other hand.
With a muffled bang, Anxi fell straight to the floor, and he was pushed down from behind by Marco Belinelli.
"Oh no!" The Spurs fans on the sidelines opened their mouths in surprise. Some of the Spurs fans who were die-hard Anxi fans couldn't bear to close their eyes.
Beep beep beep~! The whistle sounded quickly and the referee ran to Marco Belinelli's side as quickly as possible.
On the other side, James Anderson also rushed to the scene and pushed Belinelli directly: "Are you playing basketball or what?"
Belinelli said nothing, and his attitude was still not good. He looked at James Anderson with arrogant eyes, but he kept retreating to avoid possible conflicts.
Other Spurs players also caught up. Patrick Mills and Boris Diaw stood in front of Belinelli. In front of them were a group of 76ers teammates, James Anderson, Shaun Livingston and Cole Aldrie. strange……
Marcobellinelli had no intention of admitting his mistake, and saw that the conflict further expanded. Suddenly, Anxi stood up from the floor and rushed out.
Anxi pushed Belinelli hard, and just when he wanted to knock Belinelli down further, Boris Diaw directly blocked Anxi.
Facing his old teammate, Anxi also restrained himself and did not take any further action.
The referee blew the whistle hurriedly again, and Boris Diaw exchanged a few words with Anxi at this time: "Anxi, you can stop. If you do it again, the referee will give you a technical foul..."
On the other side, after Marco Belinelli was pushed by Anxi, he immediately began to curse and curse. Boris Dio quickly patted Marco Belinelli, and Belinelli also responded. He came over and quickly stopped talking.
The referee made the penalty quickly, and the referee pretended that he did not see Anxi's subsequent actions, so the referee gave Marco Belinelli a technical foul and a common foul.
So, Anxi went to the free throw line and executed three free throws.
When the free throw was taken, there was a flood of boos at the ATT Arena.
Anxi felt a little emotional in his heart. No matter how successful he was with the Spurs before, no matter how good his relationship with the old Spurs players was, at this moment, on the court, they are all opponents. They are competing against each other. They will never give in, even if The conflict was caused by his own fault, and he never gave in during the conflict, nor did he care about his old relationship at all.
Because...this is the battlefield of the finals!
Anxi took a deep breath. In this case, in this competition, we should try our best to make him...explode!
With a swish sound, Anxi made a technical free throw amid shouts of exclamation.
Then, several players from both teams stood on both sides of the free throw line, and Anxi began to execute free throws for common fouls.
After making one of two free throws, Anxi scored 2 points again.
Then, Gregg Popovich called a timeout. At this time, the score of the two teams became 37:32, and the 76ers had already led the Spurs by 5 points.
Popovich also began to realize his mistakes, and he began to make up for his mistakes, using a long pause to specifically arrange the defense against Anxi.
Popovich emphasized these two points on double-teaming and assisting defense. He replaced Marco Belinelli, who had just committed a flagrant foul on Anxi, replaced Manu Ginobili on the court, and then let Kawhi Leonard returned to guarding Anxi and arranged subsequent double-teaming and assisting defense.
As for the 76ers, the unexpected lead made them happy. Assistant coach Lloyd Pierce came over and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Ann?"
Anxi nodded. He was naturally fine. Although he fell on his back, the injury was unlikely.
Brett Brown clapped his hands: "Well done, guys, everyone should have seen that the Spurs are not invincible.
They are not as powerful as the media said before. We can defeat them, which requires our full cooperation! "
"The Spurs will definitely have to strengthen their defense against Anxi next, so we..."
The 76ers have also made corresponding adjustments. Brett Brown asked Anxi to pass more passes. So far in this game, Anxi has made fewer passes. In more than one quarter of the game, Anxi only had three assists, while before. In several games with the Pacers, Anxi has assisted in double figures in every game. This was achieved in many games where he clocked out in the third quarter, which is enough to prove how outstanding Anxi's ability to help teammates score is now.
However, the reason why Anxi had fewer assists in this game is also very simple. The Spurs did not put so much defensive pressure on him. Anxi could play more by himself, so he naturally chose to play more by himself.
Next, it is foreseeable that the Spurs will definitely strengthen their defense against Anxi. The best choice for Anxi is naturally to pass the ball more.
The timeout ended quickly, and the Spurs replaced Manu Ginobili. The 76ers made no substitutions. Players from both sides stood together again, and the Spurs had the ball.
After replacing Ginobili, the Spurs' offense became even simpler. Ginobili is a very creative player. After he came on the court, he immediately cooperated with Boris Diaw inside. After the pick-and-roll screen, He rushed inside, attracted the defense, and then passed the ball directly to the 76ers' defense and sent the basketball to Aron Baynes.
Aron Baynes dunked and scored 2 points.
In the 76ers' offense, Anxi held the ball on the offensive end and was indeed flanked. However, Anxi's subsequent pass also created a good opportunity, helping James Anderson fly up for a layup and also scored 2 points.
The point difference did not narrow, and the Spurs' ball rights once again came to Manu Ginobili. Anxi chose to switch defense. At this time, Anxi believed that the most threatening offensive point on the Spurs' court should be Ginobili.
Ginobili faced Anxi with the same expressionless face. This was the finals, and both of them looked very serious.
Ginobili leaned against Anxi and turned around, seemingly looking for an opportunity to pass the ball.
But soon, while Anxi was not paying attention, Ginobili suddenly turned around and squeezed Anxi into the three-point line. Anxi hurriedly followed, but at this time Ginobili suddenly stopped again. , put away the ball, and tried to stop for a jumper, but Anxi could only stop.
The Argentinian Yaodao, who was becoming more and more demonic as he got older, turned around again at this time, unexpectedly shook Anxi away, and then slowly released the basketball.
Uh-huh! The shot was made.
Anxi was helpless. Ginobi used a series of fake moves to trick Anxi, but he was unable to guard the ball.
Turning the 76ers' ball, Anxi received the basketball and prepared to return the ball.
But when Anxi faced Kawhi Leonard's defense, he and Ginobili couldn't match up, which seemed a bit regretful. Fortunately, Anxi had another way. He directly leaned on Kawhi Leonard with his back and hit him twice.
Seeing that Leonard couldn't hold on, Ginobili immediately double-teamed him.
The moment Ginobili double-teamed him, Anxi suddenly turned around, turned to Ginobili's left side, turned around and made a fadeaway jumper, facing the basket and taking a decisive shot...
Fallback jump shot! This ball is obviously the answer ball. Anxi could have taken the shot after relying on the hit, but he waited until Ginobili's double attack before taking the shot. The meaning is too obvious.
Therefore, after Anxi turned over and shot a fadeaway jumper, everyone looked forward to the basketball flying towards the basket.
Can I get in?
