Chapter 304: The Western Conference that quickly lost suspense

An Xi didn't know the discussion about himself on the coaching bench, and Popovich put him on the court in the second quarter.

Then, the Spurs came off the bench, and the Warriors collapsed in a wave.

The Warriors are under great pressure on the bench. After Anxi returned to the bench, the Spurs' offensive power and defense were much stronger than in the previous game. With Anxi's presence, the internal and external combination of the Spurs' bench has been very successful.

Anxi, Manu Ginobili, Patrick Mills, the three opened the Spurs’ offense. With the backup line of Anxi and Aron Baynes, the Spurs suppressed the Warriors regardless of offense and defense, and Mark Jackson had to advance. Put on Stephen Curry, but the situation is still bad.

With Anxi's three-pointer, the Spurs' lead came to 12 points, exceeding 10 points for the first time.

Then, the Warriors cramped for a while, narrowing the point difference, but the Spurs still stabilized the situation, and then the same method, through the suppression of the field, gradually expanded the lead again.

After halftime, the Spurs led by 15 points.

In the second half, the two main players played, the Warriors finally found some opportunities, once again narrowed the point difference, the point difference became about 10 points.

However, when the Spurs came off the bench and faced the Warriors, the situation of the game took a sharp turn. In this way, at the end of the three quarters, the Spurs led the Warriors by 17 points.

At the end of the three quarters, the Spurs led by 17 points. This difference is not enough for the Spurs to determine the victory of the game in advance. However, the main force of the Spurs in this game is always suppressed by waves of erupting Warriors, which makes Popovich wrinkle. Raised eyebrows.

Mike Budenholzer walked to Popovich's side and said softly: "Greg, at this time, let Ann enter the starter, the effect may be better."

Popovich shook his head: "But what about the offense? Ann overlapped with Kawhi on the offensive end."

"Just let Kawhi leave the field."

Popovich froze for a moment, and then nodded immediately: "It is indeed a good way, so let's let Ann and Danny partner on the wing in the fourth quarter."

Popovich is not the kind of head coach who doesn’t know how to work, otherwise he would not be able to get so high. Mike Budenholzer’s suggestion, he accepted it with kindness, so in the fourth quarter, Anxi continued to play, and Dan Niglin partnered on the wing.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs took a 17-point lead. The task of the Spurs in the fourth quarter was very simple, and it was enough not to be destroyed by the Warriors' next outbreak.

But it’s easier said than done, but it’s a bit dangerous to do. After all, what this warrior is best at is to rain a three-pointer anytime and anywhere, so Popovich has paid enough attention to this warrior. In the fourth quarter The lineup of the Spurs is the strongest lineup of the Spurs.

Center Thiago Splitter, power forward Tim Duncan, small forward Anxi, shooting guard Danny Green and point guard Tony Parker.

At the beginning of the game, the Warriors exploded in their adjusted state. Stephen Curry caught the ball from the outside and took two steps. After adjusting, he directly faced Tony Parker's defense and scored a three-pointer.

The three-pointer entered the net, and the Warriors' bench boiled again. Mark Jackson jumped up in excitement because he saw the Warriors' hope of recovering 17 points, although this hope is still a bit slim.

The Spurs slowly controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Anxi stood up at the bottom corner early. Harrison Barnes stared at Anxi. Anxi looked at this rather young small forward, smiled unkindly, and then suddenly. Speed ​​up and take a step towards the penalty area.

Harrison Barnes, who had been in a state of tension, took a step back, and then quickly chose to turn around.

An Xi smiled and withdrew directly, and then leaned on his side and galloped past Harrison Barnes. He did not run to the inside, but ran toward the top of the arc.

Anxi used his wisdom and speed to get rid of Harrison Barnes. Although Barnes chased him back quickly, his speed was definitely a step slower.

Anxi rushed to the top of the arc, received the ball directly from Parker, and then made a jumper on the spot with a scream!

"Three——!" The live DJ yelled, An Xi directly returned a three-pointer, and the Warriors bench was silent. This three-pointer was like a heart-piercing arrow, directly inserted into the Warrior's heart.

Stephen Curry made a three-pointer against the sky, but so what? The Spurs also made a score, the score difference remains unchanged, but there is less time.

The reduction in time means that the Spurs are more likely to hold the advantage, but the Warriors will certainly not give up the game so early, so the two teams continue to engage in the main confrontation.

The Warriors were still looking forward to winning, but the Spurs didn't give a chance. Stephen Curry continued to hurried three-pointers from the outside, but with a bang.

Mark Jackson's heart beat again, but he didn't pay too much attention to it. It's normal for three-pointers to make or lose.

However, in the next second, An Xi jumped outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer again with a scream!

ATT Arena burst into cheers, and the DJ on the scene kept yelling: "Three points! From Anxi! San Antonio is 20 points ahead!"

Twenty points...Mark Jackson stayed in a daze. If this continues, the game will soon enter garbage time...

In fact, the game has entered garbage time. With a 20-point difference, the Warriors want to play back in one quarter. Unless the Spurs are in a bad state, this is impossible to think about.

Next, Stephen Curry hit the inside and scored 2 points, and the Spurs made another three-pointer. This time it was Danny Green who made a three-pointer. Tony Parker attracted defensive points from the outside to Anxi. Anxi once again attracted the defense. Then he scored the ball to Danny Green in the bottom corner. Danny Green made a three-pointer and made a direct hit, which was 21 points away.

In the Warriors' offense, Stephen Curry made a fake three-pointer, and then the breakthrough attracted the defense. Klay Thompson circled the top of the arc and hit a three-pointer.

Mark Jackson slapped his thigh and stood up and cheered wildly.

But the Spurs served quickly, and while the Warriors were still celebrating the three-pointer, they suddenly hit a wave of fast breaks. Tony Parker rushed to the front court and shot a chasing three-pointer, which made a scream.

The boos all over the room instantly turned into cheers, and the Warriors' bench was dumb.

The point difference remained the same at 21 points. The Spurs were very tenacious in the fourth quarter. The Warriors hit a three-pointer and the Spurs immediately responded with a three-pointer.

In this way, in the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, the score difference became 25 points. With 8 minutes left in the final of the game, Mark Jackson silently replaced all the main players.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Warriors 112:85 and won the game, leading the Warriors by a big score of 2:0 in the Western Conference Finals.

The Spurs won again. This victory gave the Spurs an absolute advantage in the series. The Western Conference finals had a one-sided meaning, and the Warriors did not seem to be the Spurs' opponent at all.

The big mouth Andrew Bogut disappeared. Obviously, behind 0:2 and the second game defeat, Andrew Bogut has no reason to speak up in front of the media reporters again.

But at this time, before returning to Oakland, Mark Jackson accepted an interview with ESPN. In the interview, Mark Jackson still believes that the Warriors are capable of defeating the Spurs to enter the Finals because the Warriors still have the ultimate weapon to use.

In this regard, Popovich also rarely stood up and responded: "Mark is a good coach. Perhaps the Warriors do have the ultimate weapon, but whether the ultimate weapon is effective or not is unknown. Moreover, the Warriors have the ultimate weapon. This does not mean we do not have."

The Spurs also have the ultimate weapon. Anxi froze for a moment. He really didn't know, but after responding to Mark Jackson, Popovich frowned all the time. Obviously the Warriors' ultimate weapon still worries Popovich. Yes, but this worry will not be too serious.

The third battle began very quickly. At the Oracle Arena in Oakland, the third battle of the Western Conference was fiercely fought.

The Warriors really made a change in this game, but this change made Popovich laugh out loud.

"It's actually a tactic of outside screens and three-pointers. Is it always used like this? Didn't the Warriors use it before?" Mike Budenholzer opened his mouth in surprise.

"Maybe it's just Mark Jackson's gamble." Popovich smiled faintly. If it were just like this, the Warriors would really not threaten the Spurs~www.novelmtl.com~ Popovich would soon make it. After adjustment, a small lineup was put on the field, and then used to continuously rotate defenses to fill the gaps after the opponent's pick-and-roll screens. So after half the game, the Warriors found that they had lost even worse.

At halftime, the Warriors trailed the Spurs by 22 points, and the Oracle Arena was full of boos.

Mark Jackson shook his head helplessly, it was over, everything was over...

Indeed, as Popovich said, this tactic of outside screens and three-pointers is just a gamble by Mark Jackson. After seeing the surprise of the Warriors in the first game, he felt that after two defeats, the third game If he can't lose anymore, he should take out this tactic and take a gamble. If he succeeds, he will succeed, and he will be willing to lose.

In the second half, the Spurs continued to steadily control the situation of the game, and then when the final timer buzzed, the Spurs won the game. In the third game, the Spurs won another 27 points!

After two great victories in a row, the Western Conference Finals has lost its suspense.

In the three games, Anxi performed well, with 26 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks in the first game, and 17 points in the second game.

In this game, he scored 19 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 steals. In the Western Conference finals, the Spurs' victory Anxi made a big contribution.

For the Warriors, even though they lost three games in a row, they still have a player worth watching, Stephen Curry, who averaged 30 points per game in the playoffs. In the Western Conference Finals, this score still didn't mean a decline.

Scored 34 points in the first game, 33 points in the second game, 29 points in the third game, averaging 32 points in the three games, Stephen Curry is in hot form, but his team still can’t win... (To be continued.) Find this site and search for \"Biquge CM\" or enter the URL: www.biquge.cm
