Super Role Player

The progress of the Warriors this season is also obvious to all. Stephen Curry and Andrew Bogut are back. One of them is the offensive core of the Warriors, and the other is the defensive core of the Warriors. The Warriors have 23 wins and 14 losses in the first 37 games.

Of course, Klay Thompson's progress this season is also huge, from the bad team's starting shooting guard who averaged 12 points per game last season to the top starting shooting guard who averaged 16 points per game this season.

Moreover, Klay Thompson has also developed his single defense, which is still the core of the Warriors' perimeter defense. He can defend three positions alone. Klay Thompson's body.

Outside Curry and Thompson formed a combination of one-on-one offense and one defense, while the inside line was also a combination of one offense and one defense between Andrew Bogut and David Lee, plus Harrison Barnes, the No. 5 pick at the third position , The Warriors' book strength this season is still quite strong. David Lee on the inside and Curry on the outside are already considered star-level players, plus the scarce big man Bogut in the league, and super substitutes such as Carl Landry and Jared Jack on the bench, it is no wonder that Ben The Warriors were able to achieve such good results this season.

Therefore, the Warriors should not be underestimated, and the Spurs are also very clear. Before the game, Vicki made detailed arrangements and specially adjusted the team's starting lineup.

"The starting lineup for this game is point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Manu Ginobili, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Tim Duncan and center Thiago Splitter."

In Vicki's opinion, when fighting against a team like the Warriors with a balanced internal and external strength, it is necessary to use offense to defeat the opponent, and at the same time ensure the inside rebounds, so the Spurs put on such a team with outside offense and inside height. starting lineup.

The game is about to start, because this game is the home of the Spurs, so under the passionate shouts of the DJ on the scene, the Spurs will appear one after another...

After the appearance ceremony, Anxi stood on the sidelines warming up, doing the press down, Stephen Curry made a few three-pointers in the other half, swished in, and after the shots, he also ran to this position, lay down, and started to do Sit-ups.

Anxi raised his leg and continued to press in another direction, but the direction was changed in the wrong direction, and his right foot was directly next to Curry's nose.

Curry turned his head sharply, and then called out: "Hey, Ann, what are you doing? Interfering before the game?"

Anxi froze for a moment, then laughed: "Stephen, it's not my fault, you shouldn't have warmed up here, because you have crossed the line." Anxi pointed to the other half of the court: "You should go there."

Stephen Curry gave Anxi a vicious look, but Anxi felt that it was a stare from a kid.

Anxi smiled and didn't care. Anxi was still a substitute in this game, so Anxi put in a little bit of weight when warming up. Otherwise, if he sat on the court for too long, then even a little warm-up would not be enough.

After the warm-up, the game started. The starters of both sides played, the referee whistled, and the basketball flew into the air.

Thiago Split and Bogut scrambled for the ball. The healthy Split won without pressure. After several serious injuries, Bogut’s voice was not as good as before. He started playing on the floor. Only relying on various small means to gain a foothold in the interior, perhaps the dirty work of the Australian national team began with Bogut.

Tony Parker took the ball to the frontcourt, and Stephen Curry immediately posted it. Because of Manu Ginobili's start in this game, the Warriors' perimeter defense was a bit stretched.

But there is no big problem. Warriors head coach Mark Jackson also carefully studied the game. The Spurs, who are transitioning to attack, are indeed not so easy to defend. It can be said that wanting to completely prevent the Spurs' offense is basically a dream, so Mark Jackson thinks , The key to winning this game lies in offense.

So at the beginning of the game, Mark Jackson shouted loudly from the sidelines: "Expand the defense, pay attention to protecting the rebound!"

This sentence is easy to understand. Mark Jackson's idea is to defend the outside, defend the Spurs' outside shots, relax the breakthrough of the Spurs, and then protect the rebounds, combined with the front defensive expansion, and strive to play the Warriors. Wanted fast offense.

The Warriors want to play fast offense, but the Spurs are unwilling. The reason is simple. If you play fast offense, what about my two big men inside? What should I do about the inside height advantage I am after? Facing the Warriors, what about the Spurs' own positional advantage?

So **Vich also shouted from the sidelines at the same time: "Slow down! Slow down!"

So from the first second of the game, the fierce competition began to emerge...

The Spurs' first ball, although Curry's physical fitness is poor, but his defense is actually not that bad, because his stalking skills are still very strong, he stalked Parker tightly, and Parker only got rid of Curry through a screen. In the game, he rushed to the three-point line and scored the first point of the game.

However, the Warriors quickly retaliated. Stephen Curry rushed to the frontcourt, and after a pick-and-roll screen, he scored a three-pointer and made a hit with a swish!

The arrogant Stephen Curry directly raised his hand amidst the boos of the at\u0026amp;amp;t arena...

With 2 minutes left in the first quarter of the game, the Spurs had gradually taken the initiative on the court. The score between the two teams was 23:18, with the Spurs leading by 5 points.

**Vitch called a timeout, then replaced Anxi and Patrick Mills.

"Anxi is here!" Ke Fan yelled loudly in the Sina live broadcast room that broadcast the game. During this time, the three major domestic broadcasters have taken turns to broadcast almost every game of the Spurs, such as today's game , Sina broadcasted it, and CCTV just broadcasted the Spurs game two days ago, so today it changed its taste and broadcasted the game between the Thunder and the Mavericks.

As for Tencent, they still don't have the complete rights to broadcast the NBA, and the number of games they can broadcast is limited, so they can only select important games to broadcast.

Anxi played at the small forward position, and he was facing the Warriors' backup forward Drummond Green. This rookie who looks a lot like Brandon Bass of the Celtics is a second-round rookie this year. But so far this season, Drummond Green has also won many opportunities in the Warriors.

In fact, the Warriors in recent years have always been very suitable for the growth of rookies, such as Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green this season, Festus Ezeri, and pushing forward, last season's Charles Jenkins, Jeremy Taylor, Klay Thompson, and last season's Alpeyudo and Asilau, but there is only one Klay Thompson who has really played, and maybe Harris Barnes is also one.

As soon as Anxi played, it was the Spurs' offense. He stood around the bottom corner, and then faced Draymond Green's close defense. Anxi suddenly discovered that this unremarkable second-round forward had such great strength that he was directly crowded. strenuous. (To be continued.)
