Super Role Player
Chapter 201 Anxi and Leonard
Omer Asik grabbed the rebound, the ball was transferred, and the 76ers started their first attack in the finals.
Asik passed the basketball to Anxi, who advanced to the frontcourt and faced Kawhi Leonard's defense at the top of the key.
It is not surprising that the Spurs would let Leonard switch to defend themselves. Danny Green's defense is also good, but against Anxi, a strong man with physical fitness, it is obvious that Kawhi Leonard has better wingspan and body. More suitable for defending Anxi.
Facing Kawhi Leonard's defense, Anxi began to cross-step at the top of the key.
The Spurs did not implement a double-team defense against Anxi. They were comfortable letting Kawhi Leonard defend Anxi alone.
Facing Kawhi Leonard's outstretched arms for single defense, Anxi was not polite at all. He accelerated to break through and then stopped suddenly. Kawhi Leonard also braked the car and continued to pester Anxi.
Anxi turned around and leaned against Kawhi Leonard, swaying from side to side, then suddenly turned to the right and jumped up.
Relying on the explosive power of his waist and abdomen in the air, he leaned back, avoided Kawhi Leonard's long-arm block, and threw the ball.
Anxi used one of his killer moves from the beginning of the game, the fadeaway jumper. Facing Kawhi Leonard's one-on-one defense, Anxi was high-spirited and obviously had a belief in wanting to prove himself.
He ignored Kawhi Leonard's hands coming directly in front of him and shot the basketball directly.
Then, with all the Spurs fans watching, there was only a swishing sound, and after the clear sound of the net being wiped, the basketball entered the basket!
Go in, the first goal of the opening game, Anxi hit a fadeaway jumper right over Kawhi Leonard's head!
Kawhi Leonard turned to look at the basketball, a little surprised. Anxi's shot in this period was clean and neat, without any unnecessary movements. Kawhi Leonard thought that his interference was already in place, but Anxi's quick shot was still in the air. This shot, which was thrown without a warm hand in the opening game, obviously should not have been scored.
But Anxi just scored and showed his excellent form from the beginning.
Att Arena was quiet. Seeing Anxi slowly returning to defense, the Spurs fans felt mixed. Anxi, the absolute contributor to the Spurs' championship last season, is already the Spurs' opponent in the finals this season, and it is An opponent that even Kawhi Leonard couldn't guard!
Soon, the Spurs' offense started again. Tony Parker carefully controlled the ball on the outside, facing McAway's defense.
He accelerated directly and passed McAway. Even in the playoffs, McAway's one-on-one defensive ability was still terrible. The only thing he was good at on the defensive end was his steals.
But a veteran point guard like Tony Parker will obviously not give McAway a chance to steal easily.
Tony Parker rushed inside, made a pull-up jumper directly at the top of the free throw line, and successfully hit a mid-range shot.
2:2, the two teams were fighting back and forth at the beginning of the game.
The ball returned to the hands of the 76ers, and McAway took control of the ball and passed halftime slowly.
This ball was pulled to the bottom corner by Anxi, opening up space for his teammates. The ball did not pass through Anxi's hands. Mcaway directly passed through Pau Gasol's pick-and-roll screen, accelerated into the inside, and succeeded in the throw. It was considered a success. Scored a goal from Tony Parker.
4:2, the 76ers scored two goals in a row and seemed to be in better shape than the Spurs at the beginning. Then, the Spurs attacked.
They began to pass and cut at the top of the arc, but after passing the ball several times, Anxi seized an opportunity, jumped out, and directly intercepted Tony Parker's pass to Kawhi Leonard. The league's steal leader in the regular season, Anxi suddenly took action and completed a successful steal.
Then, amid the exclamations at the ATTS Arena, Anxi started a mad sprint, trying to rush to the frontcourt to complete a fast break.
Anxi rushed into the penalty area in the frontcourt, holding the ball for a layup. Kawhi Leonard followed Anxi, one step away, and reached out to take the basketball out of Anxi's hand.
But Anxi suddenly dodged in the paint, then changed hands, directly avoiding Leonard's block and sending the ball into the basket.
6:2! The 76ers had a perfect start. Anxi had 4 points and 1 steal, which was an outstanding performance, especially the fast break layup after the steal, which directly helped the 76ers establish a lead in the opening game. Even if the Spurs score next , they will also be 2 points behind the 76ers.
The Spurs' offense still seems unhurried. This is the strength of the Spurs. They never have mental problems due to changes in the situation on the field. Facing the 76ers' man-to-man defense, the Spurs still It was using their familiar pick-and-cut tactics.
This time, with the cheers of the Spurs fans on the sidelines, the Spurs completed a beautiful cooperation. Tony Parker and Splitter used high pick-and-roll screens to attract defenses. Tim Duncan suddenly cut and received the ball, directly focusing the 76ers' defense. Inevitable deviation, even Anxi has to make up for it in front of Duncan.
At this time, Kawhi Leonard's air cut from the other side was effective. Tim Duncan's pass helped Kawhi Leonard rush into the empty 76ers inside and dunk successfully.
For a moment, Kawhi Leonard's dunk made the entire AT\u0026T Arena cheer wildly. After the 76ers launched a wave of fast breaks, the Spurs fans were suppressed. This time because of Kawhi Leonard The dunk was a complete explosion.

With a bang, Omer Asik also hit a powerful dunk, and the 76ers scored two more points.
At 8:4, the game continues.
The Spurs' offense, after several passes and cuts, the Spurs handed the ball to Kawhi Leonard in the low post. Kawhi Leonard posted up Jae Crowder. After two slow passes, Kawhi Leonard He jumped up, turned around, and shot backward. The speed of the movement was very slow, but the amount of backward movement was still considerable, so Kawhi Leonard avoided the interference of Jae Crowder and shot a fadeaway jumper.
After a crisp sound of wiping the net, Kawhi Leonard scored his first single of the game.
Kawhi Leonard's fadeaway jumper also went in! It went in beautifully! Shaquille O'Neal shouted in the commentary box.
Charles Barkley on the side shook his head: The stuck version of the fadeaway jumper moves too slowly. Fortunately, the basics are pretty good and the fadeaway movement is pretty standard. Otherwise, the ball wouldn't be so easy to hit. Enter...
Compared with Anxi's fadeaway jumper, Charles Barkley seemed to look down on Kawhi Leonard's fadeaway jumper. However, Kawhi Leonard's fadeaway jumper is actually a newly developed scoring method. Once used, the effect is quite good.
At 8:6, the cheers on the scene became louder and louder. Kawhi Leonard scored two points in a row. In terms of personal score, he had already tied Anxi. Before the game, the media evaluated Anxi and Kawhi Leonard. Maybe Anxi Kawhi Leonard himself won't say anything, but in the eyes of fans, this comparison is very attractive for discussion.
They came from the same school, but Anxi has made greater progress with the 76ers. Many people will criticize the Spurs for making a failed choice, but in the hearts of Spurs fans, everything **Vitch did was right, so they I firmly believe that Kawhi Leonard will not be worse than Anxi.
