Super Role Player

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, Anxi and Manu continued to play.

The cooperation of the two helped the Spurs continue to maintain their lead. Although the Clippers were the main players, they still couldn't narrow the point difference.

It wasn't until Anxi and Manu left the field and the Spurs played with all their main players that the Clippers got a chance to narrow the point difference.

Perhaps it was because the state of the game was really bad. Tony Parker missed another mid-range shot, then his dribble was interrupted, and he was hit by the Clippers twice. The point difference narrowed all of a sudden.

"Concentrate! Concentrate your attention!!!" Popovich couldn't help shouting from the sidelines.

After Popovich yelled, the Spurs improved slightly in the next few waves of offense, but soon, Duncan missed two shots in a row again. The Clippers seized the opportunity and scored consecutively. The Spurs' lead was once again left 2 points.

In desperation, Popovich paused and looked at the players on the bench: "Ann, Manu, you go out and replace Kawhi and Danny."

Popovich replaced Anxi and Manu again. In this game, Anxi had scored 27 points, while Manu also had 19 points and 8 assists. The two substitutes became the leading scorers for the Spurs. At the last moment of the game, Popovich still has to rely on the offense of Anxi and Manu to win the game.

When Anxi and Manu played, the Spurs still maintained a 2-point lead, and the situation was not too bad, so △②Long△②Feng△②Wen△②Study, ww♂w.cf＠wx.n≦etSpurs The attack is still playing slowly, not in a hurry.

Manu Ginobili dribbled the ball slowly, and Anxi started a crazy run. He ran from the top of the arc to the bottom corner, and then circled from the penalty area. After he came out, he rushed directly to the 45-degree angle position , The Clippers' defense was messed up by Anxi's running. Manu cut into the interior through a screen, stepped on the free throw line and made a mid-range shot, and the Spurs regained their lead by 4 points.

Chris Paul speeds up his dribble, and time is running out for the Clippers, who must race against the clock the rest of the time.

Quickly advancing to the frontcourt, Jamal Crawford took a step back from Anxi, and Chris Paul's pass arrived.

Crawford's jumper from outside the three-point line, Anxi jumped over and completely interfered with Crawford, and the three-pointer shot out of the frame!

"Rebound!" Manu shouted, and Kawhi Leonard on the inside grabbed the rebound!

Tony Parker, who was running towards the front court, also yelled: "Pass the ball! Fast break!"

Between the wind and the lightning,

Anxi and Tony Parker roared to the frontcourt, and Kawhi Leonard quickly passed the basketball.

The basketball came into Parker's hands, and Chris Paul quickly retreated to defend, but the frontcourt formed a two-on-one, so he could only retreat all the way to the basket, waiting for the Spurs to hit the basket...

However, Anxi suddenly ran towards the bottom corner, and Tony Parker also directly gave the ball to Anxi the moment he rushed to the penalty area.

Anxi in the bottom corner! Three points!

An exclamation sounded from the Staples Center!

Anxi has already thrown the ball!

"No way?"

"Damn it, the opportunity of the fast break actually made a three-pointer directly!"

"Can I get in? If I get in, Anxi will get 30 points!"

On the other side of the ocean, a group of fans staring at computers and TVs showed disbelief and anticipation in their eyes.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the basketball. The orange basketball threw a perfect high-throw line in the sky, and then, when it reached the range of the basket, it dived into the basket!

"Go in!!!" Yu Jia yelled, and then said at a very fast speed: "Anxi's counterattack and fast-break three-pointer, his score in this game has reached 30 points, which created his personal breakthrough. The highest score in his career! There are 4 minutes left in the game, and he still has a chance to score more points!"

30 points, Anxi's personal milestone, breaking through this score, Anxi can be regarded as entering a new level.

After 30 points, Anxi continued to score. First, on the defensive end, he defended against Chris Paul's layup, and then on the offensive end, he made a deft move, ran out of an open space, and scored another 2 points!

The Spurs played a 7:0 spurt, and the point difference came back to 9 points.

Then, the Clippers paused, but Popovich waved his hand, and Kawhi Leonard replaced Anxi!

An Xi was stunned, but seeing Popovich's indifferent look, he didn't dare to ask why he replaced him at this time, and when he thought that he had already scored 32 points today, he didn't hesitate to ask. No more tangling.

Anxi was replaced by Popovich with 4 minutes left in the game. In the next game, Kawhi Leonard replaced Anxi, but the Spurs failed to continue to expand the point difference and only maintained around 9 points. lead until the end of the game.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Clippers 122:109 and won another big victory.

In this game, Anxi, who played as a substitute, scored 32 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 3 steals, and was directly elected the best player in the game. And Manu Ginobili, who also played off the bench, also scored 24 points and 10 assists. Tony Parker in the starting lineup did not perform well, only 3 of 13 shots, and finally scored 11 points and 5 assists. Tim Duncan's performance was average 15 He scored 16 points and 9 rebounds on 7 shots.

It is precisely because of the poor performance of Parker and Duncan that the Spurs will have a scene where the main force digs holes and the substitutes fill holes in this game.

For the Clippers, Chris Paul had 27 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 4 steals, Blake Griffin had 19 points and 12 rebounds, DeAndre Jordan had 6 points and 14 rebounds, and Jamal Crawford had 6 points and 14 rebounds. In the end, they scored 23 points and played excellent data again. However, compared with Anxi, both data and efficiency are much worse.

At the end of the game, Popovich participated in the post-match press conference. A special reporter from Tencent Sports asked a question: "Mr. Greg, with 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Spurs have not yet completely sealed the victory. At that time, Anxi, who scored the highest score in the game, had already scored 32 points, and he was also involved in the offensive climax in the fourth quarter. May I ask why you chose to replace Anxi at this time? He can obviously score higher. "

Faced with this question, Popovich gave a positive answer: "No, I disagree with your point of view. With 4 minutes left in the game, we have already led by 9 points. This point difference is enough for us to maintain until the end of the game. In the end, so I chose to replace Ann, he had played enough for this game, he was tired."

Then, another reporter from China stood up and asked: "Then Coach Greg, why did Ann suddenly become a substitute in this game?"

Popovich continued to answer positively: "This season, Ann has made some changes and some transformations. He is now more inclined to attack, so I think he is more suitable to play as a substitute now."

Popovich did not avoid talking about Anxi's problems at all. It seemed that he was giving Anxi an explanation through the media. (To be continued.)
