Chapter 37 Concatenation, Consecutive Assists

The Spurs were in excellent form in this game. An Xiaonan was replaced after playing for 6 minutes.In these 6 minutes, An Xiaonan contributed 4 points and 2 assists, which is not bad.

At halftime, the Spurs lead the Magic 57:49.

"Hey, buddy." In the player tunnel, Fournier said to An Xiaonan.

An Xiaonan looked at Fournier, Fournier seldom talked to him, and now that he took the initiative to find him, he must have something to say.

"I will partner with you in the second half. I feel good tonight. Are you interested in feeding me cake? I will definitely run out." Fournier is gearing up. He is the player with the highest shooting percentage in the team tonight, three-pointers There is even a 5% hit rate of 3 out of 60.00.

An Xiaonan was very interested in this: "Feed you cake? Interesting, can you escape?"

Fournier patted his chest confidently: "Of course, the team created a lot of tactics for me this summer. But you, can you accurately pass it to my hands?"

"Of course." An Xiaonan said lightly.Fournier felt that in this flat tone, there was a strong confidence.

The second half began, and the battle was changed. The players on both sides are:
San Antonio Spurs:
Point guard Brandon Paul,
Shooting guard Danny Green,

Small forward Kyle Anderson,

Power forward Jeffrey Lowinge,
Center LaMarcus Aldridge.

Orlando Magic:
Point guard An Xiaonan,
Shooting guard Arron Afflalo,

Small forward Evan Fournier,
Power forward Marreese Speights,
Center Nikola Vucevic.

The Spurs' point guard Paul dribbled to the frontcourt. Although the lineup was almost all substitutes, their style of play was similar to that of the first half.The pass started just after halftime, and everyone dared not stick to the ball. Only when the pass had a chance, they would break through resolutely.

It's very spurious.

"Dang!" Green missed a three-point shot, and Fournier grabbed the rebound and dribbled it directly to the frontcourt.An Xiaonan followed closely behind, and Fournier gave the ball to An Xiaonan when he came to the frontcourt.

……

"An Xiaonan, your task in the second half is to dribble the ball to the frontcourt, then observe Fournier's running position, and then pass the ball."

Vogel arranged An Xiaonan's tasks in this way.

……

An Xiaonan clearly saw that Fournier continued to pass the pick-and-roll of Vucevic and Speights to cross positions with Afflalo. There was also a bit of hustle and bustle.

Here's your chance!An Xiaonan was overjoyed. Fournier had already strode towards the weak-side three-point line at a 45-degree angle, and Green behind him had been thrown away by three positions.

An Xiaonan shook his hand quickly, and passed the ball with the greatest strength, the purpose is to let Fournier get the ball.

When Fournier received the pass, he was taken aback. This kid passed the ball too hard!
However, the momentum brought by the basketball also became hot to the hand.

Fournier received the ball, made an emergency stop, and jumped up on his toes almost on the three-point line.But the referee was sharp-eyed, and Fournier did not step on the line.

After jumping up, Green just arrived and it was too late.

Fournier shot the ball like he usually does in practice, and the ball arced a comfortable arc in the air and hollowed into the net.

57:52, only five points left!

"Wow, beautiful, I didn't expect you to be so accurate!" An Xiaonan laughed, seeing Fournier's wonderful running, catching and shooting, he was in a good mood.

"Just kidding, I'm the top scorer in the team!" Fournier laughed, he has scored 12 points tonight.

The Spurs attacked, and Aldridge formed a low single.

"Teaming!" An Xiaonan whispered, Efflalo immediately gave up defending Green and ran to double-team Aldridge.

But Aldridge's awareness was very advanced, and he passed the ball to Green when Efflalo came over.

Oops!On the sidelines, Leonard thought it was bad.

A big hand blocked Aldridge's pass halfway. This person was An Xiaonan. He had already expected that Aldridge would pass to their shooter Green, so he blocked the passing route first.

"Evan!" An Xiaonan roared, flicking the ball and rushing towards the frontcourt.Paul's return to defense was very quick, and he immediately stood in the penalty area and waited for An Xiaonan's arrival.

But An Xiaonan didn't fast-break alone, Fournier and him were beside him to form a two-person fast-break.Fournier ran towards the right corner, while An Xiaonanye attacked from the left.

Break through, involving Paul.

Fournier is in place.

An Xiaonan scored the ball.

The ball was passed to Fournier, and Fournier adjusted after receiving the ball, and made a completely open three-pointer.

"Swipe!" Hit two three-pointers in a row!
Fournier roared excitedly, 57:55, only two points left!

"Damn it." Paul murmured, sent the ball, and started attacking again.

Popovich frowned on the sidelines.

This time Aldridge formed a singles situation again, and the other Spurs pulled aside.

This avoids the situation of being double-teamed.

Aldridge held the ball in a high position and made a three-threat posture. Facing Speights, he took a tentative step.

"brush!"

Really stable.

Aldridge may be the most consistent scoring point in the Spurs.

59:55, but the Magic's offense wasn't over yet.

This time An Xiaonan made a change himself and chose to let Speights pick and roll for him.

Speights blocked Paul, An Xiaonan did not break through with the fastest speed, but chose to dribble steadily to control the rhythm and observe his teammates. Suddenly Fournier had another opportunity.

An Xiaonan rolled his eyes and smiled inwardly: Do you think you can fool me like this?
An Xiaonan saw that, except for Aldridge, who was pulled out by Speights' pick-and-roll earlier, the other four Spurs were staring at Fournier. It was obvious that Fournier had become their key defensive object.If the ball is passed at this time, there will be only one result.

As a result, An Xiaonan hit the ground and passed back, and the ball fell back into Speights' hands.

Everyone was taken aback, and so was the Magic's bench. No one thought that An Xiaonan would not pass the ball to Fournier, who was open for a chance.

Perhaps, the only ones who know why An Xiaonan did this are Fournier and himself.

Speights received the ball from beyond the three-point line and shot directly.

"Swipe!" Re-enter!
59:58, just one point away!

The Magic stopped the Spurs with three consecutive three-pointers, and Popovich reluctantly called a timeout.

An Xiaonan also received three assists in a row.
