Chapter 271 Worry
Seeing Anthony who quickly returned to defense, Smith introduced with great interest: "Anthony is a representative of the '03 Golden Generation' and has grown into one of the best scorers in the league. He can kill opponents inside and outside. , and the low-post singles ability is the best in the league."

"Although his leadership is not very good, it is impossible to deny that his offensive skills are very comprehensive, and the offensive kaleidoscope is well-deserved."

Barkley nodded, and rarely echoed, "Also, I think that within 15 feet of the basket, as long as Anthony receives the ball, no one in the league is more lethal than him."

In the offensive and defensive transition, under the "defend" slogan of the fans in the audience, the Knicks players united as one, made the team's defense impenetrable, and once again blocked the Spurs' tactical cooperation again and again.

The tactics failed to be implemented again, and Neal had to stop outside the three-point line.Thinking of the predicament of the last round, looking at Bibby standing in front of him, and scanning his teammates who were still struggling to get in, Nilton paused, his eyes became resolute.

The frequency of dribbling accelerated in vain. Neil didn't want to wait until the end of 24 seconds to force a shot. He planned to break through in singles and try to see if he could take the initiative in his hands.

As a league-qualified guard, Neal's basic skills are very good, and his dribbling is smooth and free, so that Bibby dare not grab at will.

Neil slapped the upper left back of the basketball with his left hand, causing the basketball to bounce from the left side of his body to the right side, thereby achieving the purpose of changing hands and dribbling.

Lifting the center of gravity of the body, Neil stepped forward with his left foot at the same time, turned his upper body to the right, and used his shoulders to isolate the space, so as to better protect the ball.Subsequently, Neal took advantage of the situation and advanced to the right three-point line.

Neal uses a very standard front-to-back change-of-hand dribble, and he can't find any faults, but this is the limitation that many guards have.The technology is too rigid and lacks a little spirituality.

If Kobe, Ginobili and other guards do it, they will at least add some fake moves and feints in front of their bodies when changing hands and dribbling.While the offensive options are diversified, it will make the defensive players be wary.

Neal broke through to the free throw line, and Bibby followed one step behind. Just as Neal was about to make a sudden stop for a jump shot, a thunder rang in his ears.

"Gary, be careful!"

Before the words fell, an arm went straight in, and when Neal was unprepared, he easily cut the ball.

Kenny Smith's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "Here, Gary's breakthrough is very straightforward! He didn't even notice Cameron who stepped forward to help defend, and was intercepted for nothing."

Barkley did not analyze too much this time. He kept an eye on the situation on the court and said loudly: "Cameron started to counterattack! He charged up and had a clear view of the road ahead. This is an excellent opportunity!"

"So fast! Who is this? Spurs No. 2, oh, Kawhi Leonard. Although he followed up, he definitely couldn't stop Cameron!"

Soon, Anthony ran beyond the three-point line in the Spurs half, Leonard was only half a step behind, and the other players were still on the other half.

During the pursuit and defense, Leonard's eyes flickered with complex and hesitant expressions. He glanced at Anthony, who was within reach, and he finally made a choice.

Accelerating suddenly, Leonard stretched out his hand towards the basketball controlled by Anthony. Obviously he did not succeed, but his arm followed the inertia of force and hit Anthony's right hand.

It disrupted the latter's rhythm and forced him to slow down.At the same time, the referee, who was always watching the two of them, blew his whistle decisively.

"Di!"

Leonard stopped directly, and raised his hands blankly, indicating that he had committed a foul.But Anthony still completed the whole set of slam dunk actions. Although it was invalid, other players would do the same.

The referee ignored them, turned around and gestured to the technical table, and said at the same time: "The Spurs No. 2 fouled, and the Knicks No. 7 made two free throws."

"what?"

When he landed, Anthony, who saw the referee's decision, was puzzled, and hurried over, and argued, "Referee, this should be a physical foul."

The NBA has a clear rule: If a defensive player tries to stop a fast break, causing contact from behind or from the side of the opposing player, and there is no defensive player between the offensive player and the opponent's basket, it is an unsportsmanlike foul.

"I know the rules."

Amidst the boos of the fans, the referee on duty was very calm, and of course very politely said to Anthony, "I don't think Kawhi intentionally invaded you. He was just trying to grab the ball (normal basketball action) ), constitutes a foul, so it is not a physical foul."

The defender's foul to stop the fast break is itself a tricky defensive choice.Coaches, referees, and players all understand this. Generally speaking, as long as the action is not too big, the referee will not make a penalty in this case.

Unlike Woodson who was complaining there, on the other side of the Spurs bench, Ginobili calmly called Leonard to the sidelines and said, "Kawhi, the team needs you to restrain Cameron. "

"I know."

Leonard nodded, he understood that it is almost impossible to lock a player of Anthony's level.And if he wants to restrain Anthony today like he restrained Kobe last time, Leonard must do at least two things.

First, spare no effort to entangle Anthony; second, to guess Anthony's offensive ideas and avoid being shaken by fake moves as much as possible.

"..."

Ginobili was speechless for a moment. He originally wanted to talk about his technical analysis of Anthony, but now it seems unnecessary.

After a moment of silence, Ginobili turned to say: "Gary is not good at breakthroughs. He is more suitable for fixed-point shooting. On the offensive end, you should be more proactive. You can pass the ball and play singles directly. Your breakthrough ability has improved rapidly. , teammates are also willing to believe in you."

Leonard nodded and said, "Understood, I will strengthen my offense."

"..."

After a while, when he saw that Anthony was on the free throw line, Ginobili couldn't help asking: "Do you want to double-team Cameron?"

Looking at Anthony from a distance, Leonard shook his head when he heard the words, but said nothing.Then he turned around silently and walked slowly back to the field.

Watching Leonard leave, Ginobili raised his hand and scratched the hair on his head, which was not much at all, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his face was full of worry.

At this moment, Yang Ke, with a towel on his shoulders and a bottle of Gatorade in his hand, walked up to Ginobili and said softly, "Don't worry, Kahuai can do well, he has never let us down before." ?”
