"Good ball! Come on!" Seeing Gerald Wallace successfully completing the steal, Catherine raised her arms excitedly like most fans on the scene. At this moment, she did not have any star airs at all, nor was she as noble and cold as she was on the catwalk.

She didn't know why she did this. The warm atmosphere on the scene and the performance of the Trail Blazers on the court made Catherine scream and wave her arms wildly as she followed others.

Of course, An Jie could not tell which one belonged to Catherine from the cheers of nearly 20,000 people at the scene, but he knew that the naughty girl must be one of the cheers.

It was not only Katherine who was infected by the warm atmosphere. Anjie, the person who was fighting on the court, was naturally excited by the cheers of the fans.

So this time, Anjie still fell directly to the low post. Felton once again passed the ball into the inside, but this time, Felton, who was careful, passed a high lob.

Sure enough, the Spurs shooting guard Danny Green, who defended Wesley Matthews, made a steal in the air. Felton's pass for Anger was very high, and it would only start to fall when he was about to reach Anger's position! And even if this ball fell, only a guy like Anger with a height and wingspan could receive it.

Danny Green is a player with a strong team sense. He knows the meaning of the word "team". However, this time, his defense that focuses on the overall situation has cost him.

After Anger received the ball, Danny Green had just landed. Green glanced at Anger and immediately rushed towards Wesley Matthews! Because Anger's eyes clearly showed that he wanted to pass the ball to Wesley Matthews, who was temporarily empty.

Although Danny Green was very active in making up for defense, his running speed was not as fast as the ball flew. After getting the ball, Wesley Matthews shot and Danny Green took off again. This time, his jump still brought him bad luck.

Matthews' shooting moves were just a fraud, and he deceived Danny Green's breakthrough afterwards was his real plan.

Matthews knew that his degree was not fast, and that was not what he was good at hitting the inside. So he broke through a few steps. When the Spurs were not too late to make up for defense against him, Matthews' pace suddenly stopped and he jumped and shot again, but this time, he really took action.

For a shooting guard who survives in nBa by shooting, an unmarked shot at the middle distance is the goal they must score!

Wesley Matthews did his job well. He made a mid-range and long-distance shot from the three-point line, and was accurately shot by Wesley Matthews!

"This is already the second assist Ann gave in this game, but both assists were completed at low posts. This is very different from the previous routine of him being at mid-range, while other Trail Blazers players got a chance to catch the ball through complex pick-and-roll without the ball. How to say it? I feel that the Trail Blazers' offense seems to be simpler."

"Simpler does not mean it is easier to defend." As soon as Kenny Smith finished speaking, O'Neal took over.

"It is the most difficult thing to make a simple attack efficient." O'Neal put himself in his shoes. Even in the situation just now, he might not be able to complete the assist. That old guy Divac accidentally created the most evil center in the nBa league!

"Those two goals were passed frivolously just now, but they lacked some confusion." Divac, who was watching the ball at home in Europe, could still pick out the problem from the two seemingly perfect assists.

Parker patted Danny Green on the shoulder and signaled him not to take this loss of position seriously. Young players always need comfort, and their mentality will greatly affect their performance.

After taking the baseline ball from Duncan, Parker turned around and pushed forward, but he was shocked to see that the Trail Blazers had completely stood up in the defensive lineup, so you couldn't find any gap!

The Trail Blazers may not easily make fast attacks, but they will save their running opportunities on defense.

When Matthews scored, all the Trail Blazers players ran back to their half to get back to defense quickly.

Parker, who is best at making trouble, can't get any breakthrough space now. The difficult battle seems to be the main rhythm of tonight.

It was still a series of transmissions that the Spurs used patient teamwork to tear the Trail Blazers' defense. But today, all the Spurs players on the court appeared, and their offense seemed to be much more difficult.

If it were the first two games, Leonard would have successfully gotten rid of the defensive breakthrough. But today, after he got rid of Gerald Wallace, there will always be another Trail Blazers player standing in front of him.

"Well... is it joint defense? It's quite bold." **Vic has seen the strategy used by Ricard at this moment. Joint defense can indeed effectively reduce the defensive blind spots caused by pick-and-roll delays. But in this way, the Spurs will get more shooting opportunities from mid- and long distances!

After some transmission, the ball finally hit Duncan. Duncan originally thought that An Jie would still hold the basket, but this time, An Jie rushed towards him desperately!

At this time, the Spurs' offensive time was only 5 seconds left. Anjie defended the basket again, which was meaningless. Because in this limited time, all Duncan could do was take action!

Seeing Duncan make a shooting move, Anjie was unmoved. He just continued to pounce and raised his hands high.

"I was guessed!" Duncan originally just hoped to deceive An Jie with a fake, but An Jie was not fooled!

If these were the first two seasons, Duncan might have tricked An Jie to jump long ago, and then broke into the inside to complete a dunk. Unfortunately, although An Jie is still very young now, he has accumulated some experience.

It’s no longer as simple as before to deceive An Jie.

Seeing that Duncan's intention was discovered, An Jie directly pressed on Duncan, and his long arms were always held high without putting them down.

Duncan was forced to take action, but Duncan was not McGrady. He was so old that he could not achieve a beautiful pull-up shot like McGrady. Under Angel's interference, Duncan's shot deviated from the basket again!

With his height advantage, Aldridge protected the backcourt rebound under the push of Burris Dior.

"Is this the fuck man-to-man or joint defense?" Even **Vic, who was off the court, frowned. Could that guy Ricard have softened these two defense methods to the same? It is actually understandable to do this, but the players' physical energy consumption on the defensive end will be very huge. Look at the running range of the Trail Blazers players when defending, this is definitely greater than when defending by man-to-man.

It turns out that the reason why the Trail Blazers' offense is very simple today is because they want to devote more energy and energy to the defense!

So, the Trail Blazers are determined to win by defense!

He is worthy of being the best coach of this year. After a few steps, **Victz analyzed Ricard's intentions thoroughly. But analysis is useless, **Victz must think of a way to solve the problem.

While thinking, the Trail Blazers led by Anjie once again scored in the Spurs' penalty area.

This time, An Jie was no longer the assist, but became the guy who completed the final blow.

Felton's sudden breakthrough made the Spurs' defense shrink. At the same time, Anjie, who was originally fighting with Duncan, suddenly made a comeback and stood on the free throw line.

Felton broke into the basket and jumped and prepared to make a layup. However, just as the basketball was about to take action, Felton threw the basketball back, allowing An Jie, who was standing behind the free throw line, to catch the incoming ball steadily.

After receiving the ball, Anjie was about to shoot, but Duncan had already made up for it. I have to admire the veteran's defensive consciousness. Even Anjie himself may not be able to do it if he makes up for defense so quickly.

Although he lost an open shot, Anjie was not upset. He decided to create opportunities by himself!

Taking advantage of the moment when Duncan moved his center of gravity forward due to the backup defense, An Jie suddenly put away the basketball raised above his head and dribbled through!

Duncan's movement is very fast, making you unable to tell that he is a 36-year-old veteran. Duncan's performance over the past decade is exactly why he is called the "No. 21 rookie". After so many years, Duncan's performance is still as positive as a rookie.

Although consciousness and lateral movement are still there, there is a fact that has to be admitted, that Duncan's current body is indeed not as good as Anjie after strengthening.

An Jie pressed Duncan's chest with his shoulders, gritted his teeth, and forcibly broke through!

"Damn young man!" Duncan chased back unwillingly. He and An Jie were just one quarter of their size!

Just when An Jie arrived at the basket and was able to dunk, An Jie suddenly stopped urgently. Then, he turned around and faced the frame again after he leaned back and jumped slightly and shot!

An Jie's stopping made Duncan go over his head. Although he tried his best to interfere with An Jie's sight, doing so would be useless to An Jie.

The basketball hit again, and this goal is still related to An Jie. But this time, the goal scorer became An Jie himself.

6-o, as soon as the game started, the Trail Blazers showed their strong side. They not only locked the Spurs on the defensive end, but also played simple and smooth cooperation on the offensive end.

The game continued like this. Under the Trail Blazers' desperate defense, the offensive efficiency of Spurs players has greatly decreased. Therefore, the Trail Blazers have been able to maintain the lead.

It was not until 5 minutes left in the first quarter that the situation on the field finally changed.

Ricard won the two core teams Angel and Aldridge, and sent Marcus Cambi and Cote Thomas to withstand the defensive pressure.

Replaced the team's two leading stars in advance, which was also Ricard's helpless move. After all, this kind of high-intensity defense game is more tiring than the previous two games. Especially An Jie, who needs to take into account multiple places, is already breathing heavily.

This is the price that high-efficiency defense needs to be paid. Ricard now is just paying for the team's excellent defense just now.

There is no lack of Angel and Aldridge. Although the Trail Blazers' defensive plan has not changed on the surface, their defensive quality has long been greatly reduced.

The Spurs substitute small forward who is only two years younger than Duncan, veteran Stephen Jackson naturally took a fancy to the gap where Angel and Aldridge are not there. He kept breaking through to the most dangerous inside line just now. Camby, who was slow to walk, did the most of the most defensive fouls.

On the other hand, Jamal Crawford's appearance also made the Trail Blazers' offense a little messed up. So the Spurs' second team rushed to catch up, and finally achieved a lead before the end of the first quarter with more free throws.

24 to 22, the Trail Blazers did make a big improvement, but the Spurs still took the lead. However, the gap between two points is not worth mentioning.

Anjie scored 6 points in 3 of 3 shots in the first quarter and sent 3 beautiful assists. Most importantly, Anjie's active area-marking defense made the Spurs' offense fail again and again.

Stephen Jackson was just an accident. In the second quarter, Anger was confident to completely turn the situation around and let the advantage return to the Trail Blazers!

Don't be arrogant. Angel and Aldridge didn't play for more than six minutes in the first quarter? When they were brought up by Ricard, the Spurs would not be so relaxed.
Chapter completed!
