Continue to play in the third quarter, the Spurs' goal is to continue to expand the point difference.

Tony Parker held the ball through half court, and then Anxi came out from the baseline and took the ball.

Anxi received the ball, and the Thunder's inside line began to move outward. Obviously, the Spurs' outside shooting tactics in the first half made Scott Brooks make a decision to expand the inside defense.

Durant switched defenses to Anxi, and Anxi observed the Thunder's inside line. He felt that there was an opportunity, so he held the ball with both hands and raised it high above his head, as if he was about to shoot.

Adu quickly took a step forward, stretching out his long arms to interfere. Anxi's shooting can't be let go. In the second quarter, the Spurs relied on Anxi's shooting to open up the point difference all at once.

But at this time, Anxi suddenly lowered his body and jumped forward. The shot was a fake! Breakthrough is real!

Anxi, who suddenly accelerated and broke through, directly threw Durant away. Durant couldn't even see Anxi's tail smoke, let alone catch up to defend.

Anxi's speed is fast, the Thunder's inside line has just expanded, and the defensive position is not stable yet. Anxi breaks through all of a sudden, making Thunder's inside line suddenly chaotic. Serge Ibaka keeps retreating, but Anxi doesn't charge After a few steps, he made an emergency stop, and made a jumper two steps away in front of Ibaka.

"Anxi's going to shoot...no, fake! He's driving...Serge Ibaka is stepping back and trying to protect the rim...Anxi shot straight away! He didn't continue into the paint! This is a Remember the pull-up jump shot!"

"Come in! Beautiful!"

Yu Jia shouted excitedly, Anxi's emergency stop jumper hit, and his 20th point, the Spurs also expanded the point difference to 18 points.

Sitting next to Yu Jia, Director Zhang couldn't help sighing: "Anxi's basketball IQ is really high. In this game alone, I played several smart shots. It's not reckless at all. How easy it is."

Yu Jia also nodded. Anxi played really smartly. For example, in this shot, Anxi took advantage of Thunder's change of defense and turned to shooting for a breakthrough.

In the first half of the third quarter, the Thunder let the two juniors play together. They were a little impatient after being behind by nearly 20 points. Anxi's emergency stop jump shot made Durant frown even more. Now it is the Thunder's chasing stage , Every defense is crucial, and he failed to defend, so when it comes to the offensive end, Durant directly wants to pass the ball, ready to return a shot.

Durant took the ball and shot directly from the outside. Leonard was defending Durant. Leonard's long arms and big hands put a lot of pressure on Durant.

This direct shot missed, the basketball bounced out, and the rebound was grabbed by Anxi.

After Anxi grabbed the rebound, he began to rush forward with the ball. The Thunder's five players also ran back to the backcourt early. However, when Anxi rushed over, they hadn't completely settled down, and the defense inside was still a mess.

Anxi rushed to the frontcourt without stopping for a moment, continued to hold the ball and rushed towards the inside.

Serge Ibaka hurried over and lay in front of Anxi. But Anxi had no intention of slowing down at all. He continued to accelerate, and when he rushed in front of Ibaka, he suddenly made a cross step and added a dribble under his crotch, passing Ibaka with absolute speed!

Ibaka turned around in a hurry, but Anxi didn't continue to run because there was still a Perkins inside.

After one step past Ibaka, Anxi made another emergency stop jump shot!

"Anxi! This is the Spurs' fast break...pass Ibaka! It's still an emergency stop jump shot...!"

"Again! Anxi, scored 4 points in a row in the third quarter!"

With a bang, there was a burst of cheers in the ATT Arena, and the on-site commentator shouted loudly: "China Anlian scored 4 points! The Spurs lead by 20 points! Victory! Go for victory!"

The Thunder played 4:0 in the opening game. Scott Brooks yelled anxiously on the sidelines. The Thunder began to stabilize their offense slowly. Russell Westbrook slowed down the offensive rhythm. After dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, Start looking for opportunities slowly.

The result of slowing down the offensive rhythm is that the Thunder found an excellent scoring opportunity through patient conduction of the ball. Durant threw off Leonard's defense and hit a jumper.

With this goal scored, the situation on the Thunder field has finally stabilized.

However, what lies ahead of the Thunder is a huge 18-point difference. If they want to win, they have to chase points.

And if you want to chase points, you have to defend against the Spurs' offense.

But the Spurs, who played with all the main players, did not give the Thunder any chance at all. After Durant hit a long-lost shot, the Spurs quickly returned the ball. Leonard hit a short-range jumper from outside the penalty area, and the point difference returned to 20 points. .

"The Thunder can't defend against the Spurs' offense now. In fact, after sending away James Harden, the Thunder's outside offense does not have to be the same as before. Although Kevin Martin seems to be an outstanding scorer, compared to Harden, his The downside is that Kevin Martin simply doesn't have the ability to chase points with the bench lineup. So the Thunder have to play more doubles, so that the Thunder's offense can continue."

"And Kevin Martin's weak defense is also a major reason why the Thunder are difficult to chase points. Although Harden's defense is not good, at least Harden can defend, but sometimes his defensive attitude is mediocre, and Kevin Martin He can't defend at all, he doesn't have the basic defensive ability, and today's game fully demonstrated all of this, the Spurs only used the perimeter to attack, and they blasted the Thunder."

Before the game was over, Yu Jia began to analyze the reason for the Thunder's loss. The departure of James Harden really hurt the Thunder. From the process of this game, it seems that the Thunder has nothing to compete with the Spurs High and low capital.

The Thunder stabilized their offense, but as Yu Jia said, the Thunder couldn't defend against the Spurs' offense. They were beaten into a mess by the Spurs' sharp offense. The point difference did not mean to shrink, but slowly , Slowly expanding.

In the third quarter, Anxi played for about 8 minutes before being replaced by Popovich. From the last two minutes of the first quarter until the eighth minute of the third quarter, Anxi has been on the court. Feeling a bit tired.

Popovich replaced him. In less than two quarters, Anxi made 12 of 17 shots and scored 28 points. The Spurs also extended their lead to 25 points.

The 25-point lead is enough for the Spurs to win the game without a doubt, but Popovich still did not send all the substitutes. It was Popovich who felt that the current Spurs really needed a wild victory to stimulate them. (to be continued)).
