Super Role Player

Anxi and Corey Joseph were replaced. There is nothing to say about Anxi's appearance. Anxi should have played at this time.

It is Corey Joseph. Since Patrick Mills came last season, Corey Joseph has gradually lost his position and was once sent to nbdl. His playing time has not improved this season, averaging less than 7 minutes per game. But now, **Vitch replaced him in the first quarter. The reason can be imagined. Darren Collison showed a very good state, so Corey Joseph, who had a better defense, got a chance to play.

The Spurs' lineup has become point guard Corey Joseph, shooting guard Manu Ginobili, small forward Anxi, and Diaw and Duncan are still inside. The Mavericks also made substitutions. Their starting lineup lacked three-point firepower, so they replaced Vince Carter in this period of time when they urgently needed to continue to expand their advantage.

The old Carter is no longer the half-man and half-god he was back then, but the current situation is slightly better than McGrady. At least in the Mavericks, Carter can get a stable playing time, basically equivalent to the role of the sixth man.

As soon as Anxi played, he faced Carter, but the offensive ball was in the hands of the Spurs, so as soon as he played, the situation on the court was that Anxi attacked and Carter defended.

The Spurs' previous offense was unfavorable, which was more or less related to the poor state of Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard. Of course, Tony Parker's touch was not very good, so he made several substitutions, and all three positions were changed. Finally, there is a little threat in the attack.

Anxi stayed in the bottom corner, and Carter never left. Anxi is not Danny Green. He has always been very accurate with three-pointers, especially open three-pointers, and has never been in a state.

After staying in place for a few seconds, Anxi came out from the corner, circled near the free throw line, and made a pick-and-roll for Ginobili who was holding the ball. Ginobili threw off Mayo through the screen and made a jump shot Get 2 points.

Manu's state is still very good, 2 points were easily hit, and the point difference was narrowed to 13 points.

The Mavericks attacked. Although Vicki did not emphasize defense, the Spurs still strengthened the strength of the defensive end. Anxi defended Carter. The old Carter had no chance to play at all. He could only run back and forth between the corner and the top of the arc .

Darren Collison was looking for opportunities on the outside. He dribbled a few steps with the ball, then accelerated and broke through from Corey Joseph. Joseph was close to Collison. Kaman quickly moved to the free throw line. Covering the pick-and-roll, Collison successfully throws off Joseph, rushes into the paint, strides out in two big strides, avoids Duncan's supplementary defense, holds the basketball, and sends it into the hoop!

Darren Collison, who was in excellent form, scored two more points, and the difference between the two teams was still 15 points.

Ginobili took the ball into the frontcourt, and Anxi also started running.

After all, old Carter is still old, and he followed Anxi closely, but Anxi's sudden reverse runs made old Carter a bit unable to keep up. After several rounds, Anxi ran out of an open space...

Inside the three-point line near the sideline! Anxi got a vacancy! At this moment, old Carter was still two or three steps away. Ginobili's pass seemed to have eyes. He made a quick pass from behind and directly passed it to Anxi's hands!

"Wow!" There was an exclamation from the American Airlines Center, but amidst the exclamation, Anxi jumped up and made a jump shot!

"Shua!" The ball went in! With a two-pointer, Anxi scored his first personal point of the game!

Yang Yi, who commented on the two-pointer, felt a little regretful: "Unfortunately, Anxi's shot this time was only a two-pointer. For the Spurs, a 15-point deficit is not so easy to chase, unless their three-pointer can be missed. .”

Yang Yi in the CCTV live broadcast room was still regretting, but Rick Carlisle on the sidelines started making small adjustments one after another through his hand gestures.

The Spurs couldn't understand it, but the Mavericks players could. Soon, the Spurs discovered that the Mavericks' offense had changed.

Darren Collison still got the ball, but it was Dirk Nowitzki who mentioned the high post, so the Spurs still tried to defend Darren Collison's breakthrough. When Collison broke through, two people directly Containment, as a result Nowitzki was directly missed.

After the pick-and-roll screen, Collison made a point, and Nuo Tianwang in the high position directly shot a jumper. After a crisp sound, the Mavericks scored another 2 points in offense, and the point difference remained unchanged at 15 points!

The last goal of the first quarter was Ginobili, who broke into the inside and made a layup. In the end, the Spurs narrowed the point difference to 13 points at the end of the first quarter.

Trailing by 13 points in a single quarter, for the Spurs, their performance in this game was a disaster level, but fortunately, in the second half of the first quarter, their offense has stabilized, and then they only need to defend against the Mavericks' offense , you can use the fastest speed to recover the score.

**Vich took advantage of the rest of the quarter and began to arrange the play style of the second quarter: "We will continue to maintain our offense in the second quarter, Patrick, you play and replace Corey, Aaron and Thiago come on, replace Tee Tom and Boris, next we have to strengthen our defense, stop the Dallas man's offense, and then make our shot to bring it back!"

On the Mavericks side, Rick Carlisle is indeed the head coach with the strongest on-the-spot adjustments in the league. He made another adjustment to the Spurs' offense in a few words: "Shrink the defense and focus on Manu Ginobili's breakthrough. "

The second quarter started quickly, the Spurs attacked first, the Mavericks sent their bench lineup, the point guard was Darren Collison, Collison was in good form in this game, Rick Carlisle must make good use of Collison In this state, Vince Carter switched to the position of shooting guard, and the small forward became another substitute for the Mavericks-Jake Crowder, a rookie this year, it is said that Anxi was the template when he entered the NBA. On the inside, Nowitzki continued to play, plus Elton Brand cameo as center.

Anxi faced Jack Crowder, who was also a defensive small forward with an unsteady three-pointer.

Anxi didn't know that Jack Crowder was the template when he participated in the draft, but Jack Crowder knew, so when he saw Anxi, he was excited. In addition, before playing, Rick Carlisle gave Jack Crowder the opportunity to let him Prevent Anxi from dying, don't let Anxi have an open three-pointer.

The first ball of the Spurs, the change of the Mavericks' defense made the Spurs' offense feel difficult. Manu's breakthrough became stagnant. With the help of Aron Baynes' cover, Manu cut into the inside and faced Brand's supplementary defense. Take a mid-range shot.

With a bang, the shot hit the iron.

Didn't even make it in... **Vichitch on the sidelines stood up, and he found that he had met a difficult opponent, Rick Carlisle, and every adjustment made by Rick Carlisle was aimed at the Spurs' sore spot!

"Defense! Defense!" **Vic shouted loudly. He missed the first goal in the opening game. The next defense must be done well, otherwise the Mavericks will further expand the point difference (to be continued .)
