Vol 3 Chapter 203: Mentality imbalance

In the sixth minute of the game, the two teams played 16:12. The 76ers were the leader. They led the Spurs by 4 points.

Many people did not expect this situation. In Anxi's counterattack, the 76ers actually led the Spurs. This was beyond the expectations of many people, and it was also unexpected by Greggwich. He quickly called a timeout. After coming down, Vitch looked at the reluctant Kawhi Leonard, knowing that the team's six-minute lag in the opening game was mainly due to Kawhi Leonard's current mentality.

Of the 16 points scored by the 76ers, Anxi scored 11 of them alone. Kawhi Leonard’s defense suddenly became vulnerable. For this sudden situation, Vitch made a very impressive Surprised choice.

"Kawhi, you can come down and rest for a while, Marco (Bellinelli), you go on, replace Kawhi." Then Vitch turned his head to look at Danny Green. "Danny, Ann will leave it to you, lock him up."

Danny Green was also very surprised. It is generally impossible for Kawhi Leonard to be replaced in the first quarter when he hits average, because the Spurs did not prepare Leonard's substitute at all. They usually use Marco Bay. Linelli replaced Danny Green, and then Danny Green played for Leonard after a century.

And now, Vitch actually replaced Leonard directly, obviously dissatisfied with Kawhi Leonard's performance in these six minutes.

Kawhi Leonard is a speechless person. Even if Vicki takes a break for disciplinary reasons, he has nothing to say. He sat down on his seat, and then ignored everything, staring at the front in a preoccupied manner. Look, I don't know what I'm thinking.

On the 76ers side, Anxi continued to play, but after the Spurs replaced Kawhi Leonard, who was seriously dysfunctional in the second half, the 76ers were a bit unable to withstand the Spurs' offense, especially the old Spicy Vicky also made targeted After the Spurs came back from the suspension, they suddenly accelerated.

Relying on the fast offense in the second half of the first quarter, the Spurs turned the score back in a wave, and finally led the 76ers by 3 points with a score of 27:24 at the end of the first quarter.

But the Spurs fans are not satisfied with the team's lead: "It's only a three-point lead, and the 76ers are likely to overtake the difference again at any time..."

The three-point difference and the back-and-forth disparity is not that big. Spurs fans suddenly became a little worried. Kawhi Leonard's performance in the first half of the first quarter was mediocre, and he didn't play at all in the second half, which even made the Spurs. The fans of Brazil feel worried, they always feel that the game will be controlled by the 76ers, until they themselves upset and lose.

In the second quarter of the game, Vitch still said nothing, and put Kawhi Leonard on the court with a cold face.

On the 76ers side, An Xi also continued to play.

Anxi and Kawhi Leonard got together again.

With the first ball in the second quarter, the 76ers got the ball, Sean Livingston took possession of the ball and advanced to the front court, and then handed the basketball to Anxi on the other side.

Kawhi Leonard stretched his arms again and blocked Anxi. Obviously, after half a period of rest, Kawhi Leonard has returned to normal mentality.

However, in the face of Anxi's offense, Kawhi Leonard's defense still seemed to be unable to do anything.

Anxi dribbled two consecutive crotch dribbles from the outside, and then, one accelerated, leaning against Kawhi Leonard.

Immediately after turning around, a step-back jumper made a 3-pointer.

With a scream, only a clear sound of wiping the net was heard, and Anxi's backward jumper just made it again!

This ball made all Spurs fans not know what to say. It was a very bad goal, even if Kawhi Leonard reacted, but under the double dodge of retreat and backward, Kawhi Lun Nader still had nothing to do, his interference whip was beyond reach, and he couldn't reach Anxi at all.

After the goal was scored, the three-pointer was reached and the score was tied.

The development of the game really is a bit unexpected. The 76ers are very tenacious and it is difficult for the Spurs to open up the score difference.

After Anxi hit a three-pointer, the Spurs launched a counterattack. Their speed was very fast. Patrick Mills dribbled the ball, and after taking control of the frontcourt, it was an accelerated breakthrough that instantly defeated Sean Livingston's defense, and then another point. The ball is distributed to the outside.

Marco Belinelli received the ball, James Anderson turned around and counterattacked, but Marco Belinelli's three-pointer was too accurate, and he made a direct hit!

The Spurs also scored a three-pointer, which was unexpected by the Spurs fans at the scene, so after the crisp sound of wiping the net, the whole arena began to cheer.

This season, Marco Bellinelli replaced Anxi’s original position. Compared with Anxi, the Italians have a poor defense, but under the Spurs system, Bellinelli’s three-pointers began to play the most important role in the regular season. Belinelli averaged 1.6 three-pointers per game and a 43% three-pointer percentage. Considering that he didn't get as many opportunities as Anxi in the Spurs, such three-pointers are still outstanding.

To a certain extent, Marco Belinelli replaced the outside firepower that Anxi contributed to the Spurs.

After hitting a three-pointer, the att arena was applauded, but soon Anxi's counterattack came.

While the whole arena continued to cheer, Anxi took the ball from the backcourt and rushed all the way to the frontcourt. Kawhi Leonard had already been waiting at the top of the arc, but Anxi rushed to a step beyond the three-point line and slammed into it. Stopped, then pulled up to shoot.

Att Arena exclaimed for a while. Their cheers were interrupted by Anxi's sudden three-pointer. No one could think that when they turned around, Anxi made a three-pointer to chase after him!

The basketball leaped in the air, enlarged in everyone's pupils~www.novelmtl.com~ and finally plunged into the basket!

Go in! An Xi raised his shooting right hand, and he made a three-pointer! No mercy!

Kawhi Leonard frowned, and Vicky on the sidelines yelled. Kawhi Leonard couldn't prevent Anxi at all. Vic thought it was Kawhi Leonard's mentality problem, and he was constantly on the sidelines. Shouted and made a request: "Close to him! Close to him! Don't be afraid! What are you afraid of!"

Obviously, Vitch felt that Kawhi Leonard's defensive actions were too small and he dared not make any actions. How could such a defense prevent Anxi...

Kawhi Leonard had a serious face. After the Spurs once again scored a goal and lead in a wave of offense, he turned to Anxi and continued to hold the ball from the outside. To interfere with Anxi's ball control.

But for this shot, Anxi played more easily. He directly leaned on Kawhi Leonard with his back, then turned around and slapped the basketball with a bang, a sudden acceleration, and just passed the post. Kawhi Leonard who is tight to himself...

On the sidelines, Vicki shook his head helplessly. Kawhi Leonard in this game was indeed out of balance. (To be continued.)
