Chapter 180 Bite Like a Hungry Wolf

It's just that before the end of the first half, Anson didn't think of a good way to stop Kevin Durant. In the half, Kevin Durant scored 19 points on 53 of 51 shots.Leading the Thunder to a two-point lead at [-]:[-] away.

Fortunately, Kevin Durant is not like LeBron James who combines offense and defense. After possessing the top offensive power in the NBA, his defense can only be regarded as mediocre. Got a lot of points back.

Facing the tall and long-armed Kevin Durant, CIC is obviously not a good idea. Even if Dirk Nowitzki's golden rooster is used independently, he will not get much benefit from him.

The reason why the Mavericks were able to make the Thunder suffer in the Western Conference Finals last season has a lot to do with Dirk Nowitzki being unstoppable. Whether it is Serge Ibaka or Kevin Durant, they There is absolutely no way to face Dirk Nowitzki, and he scored 48 points in the first game.However, Anson is not as tall as Dirk Nowitzki, and his shots are relatively easy to guard.

Therefore, Anson’s offensive methods are more air cuts and breakthroughs. There is not only a gap between Kevin Durant and him in terms of speed, but also in strength. In the 210 draft, it was the lowest rank among the rookies in that class, and it was ridiculed by many rookies. The aspect that An Sheng was not good at became an advantage.

At the beginning of the second quarter, he directly broke through Kevin Durant. Although his pace was not as big as Kevin Durant's, Anson's center of gravity was obviously more advantageous. He changed direction twice in a row and then found an opportunity to accelerate directly. You can enter the restricted area.

And in the middle of the second quarter, Anson directly leaned against Kevin Durant and then pushed Kevin Durant back again and again, and squeezed Kevin Durant with his body one step ahead of the free throw line. Then he made a mid-range throw. An undisturbed shot from this distance has no pressure on An Sheng at all.

Scored 8 points on 5 of 13 shots. Anson's answer sheet was also excellent, but it was far from enough to complete the task. He needs to do more, especially on the defensive end, to score better than Kevin Durant Higher, the defensive end must have a better way to limit him.

"Anson! Your defense is too gentlemanly. This is a basketball court, not a party. Aren't you the king of steals? Why don't you make a move?" Mark Evaroni frowned. He had always recognized Anson's defense before, but Today's first half made him very dissatisfied. Anson was afraid of foul trouble at home. Maybe it was because of Kevin Durant's beautiful fast break 2+1, which made Anson a little scared, but it wasn't him should do.

An Sheng didn't even bother to listen to the halftime summary. He frowned, completely thinking about what Marc Evaroni had said to him, whether his defense was really too gentlemanly.

The second half of the game began, and the Thunder wanted to continue to expand their lead. Two points are dispensable for halftime, and they can also allow Kevin Durant to rest early, so they chose to let Russell Wayne Sbrook, James Harden, and Kevin Durant, the three strongest attackers, stayed on the court and wanted to defeat the Clippers in one fell swoop.

Kevin Durant's outstanding performance in the first half allowed the players to continue to believe in him, and they tried to open up so that Kevin Durant could complete the singles.

It is still a mid-range face frame. Anson is very close this time, and he no longer gives Kevin Durant a chance to pull directly. This is a good defense. Kevin Durant has no speed when facing Anson. advantage, direct force is not a good choice.

He turned his back and pushed several times, but unfortunately his core strength is well known, not to mention Anson, he has no advantage against his teammates Russell Westbrook and James Harden, his back is generally used to take advantage of his height Turning over and jumping directly, this move is okay against small guards, but it is not so comfortable facing An Sheng.

Although his jumper is accurate, it is still difficult to guarantee the hit rate under the interference. After the iron strike, the Clippers switched, and Chris Paul assisted Anson who had just completed a successful defense.

15 points, only 19 points away from Kevin Durant's 4 points, and the Clippers' score has also been tied.

After halftime, Kevin Durant directly recruited the ball like Russell Westbrook. Anson's defense was still very hard. He was directly at the moment Kevin Durant received the ball It's glued on.

This physical contact made Kevin Durant feel very uncomfortable. The referee frowned, but chose to whistle An Shengdi for three fouls.

At the re-kick-off, An Sheng didn't hand in his body pressure because of his three fouls. He was still very aggressive, and the defense still maintained enough body pressure.

At this time, the home field advantage was reflected, and the referee frowned. He didn't call a penalty for this foul. He didn't have enough courage to call the core defensive player at home for a fourth foul at this time.

Kevin Durant made a breakthrough with the ball. His height is an advantage when he shoots the ball, but he is undoubtedly a disadvantage when he breaks through. What's more, he is facing An Sheng. In the third quarter, the basketball tracking system was already used at the beginning of the second half.

Kevin Durant's dribbling in front of some inside players who are seriously a bit dazzling is not much different from some high school and college students.

Reaching out and stealing, An Sheng's hand was very fast. This steal made Kevin Durant's face full of surprise. He didn't chase An Sheng back at the first time. He was intercepted by An Sheng at this position, and everyone in the world was shocked. At the beginning, I have given up chasing back.

"It's a foul, sir, he violated my cylinder while I was dribbling." Kevin Durant was very angry, his face was full of doubts, the first foul was blown, but the second Two of the same scales did not give a foul, which puzzled him.

The referee shrugged his shoulders with a blank expression, saying that this was not a foul, it was normal physical contact, but Kevin Durant's still indignant thoughts made him get a T for the restless, An Sheng executed the technique Foul free throws, there was still a 6-point gap in the first half, but with the dunk and a free throw just now, it was reduced to [-] point in an instant.

The 5:0 climax and the Clippers' overtake made the fans at the Staples Center start to cheer for Anson. These two rounds made people see a different Anson, biting like a hungry wolf!
