Chapter 185 The Return of the King
The performance on the defensive end is very good, and An Sheng also needs to let his own feelings play out on the offensive end. After all, compared with defense, offense is still more able to catch the audience's attention and better reflect his presence on the court.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Chris Paul rested off the court. Anson's injury made the Clippers' uniform team have the necessary vigilance. Their goal is not to win many wins in the regular season, but to go further in the playoffs. Far.
Anson became the main ball-holding point of the Clippers in the second quarter, and on the opposite side of Anson was this year's No. 203 pick Derek Williams. This young man with a height of 109cm and a weight of [-]kg is strong enough. At the same time, his speed He's not slow either. Under such circumstances, he still has such excellent jumping abilities. The bug in his physical talent made the general manager of the Timberwolves fall in love with him at the first sight during the joint trial training.
Before the NBA draft, for the template of Derek Williams, the template given by many ball critics was Anson. You must know that Anson is only in his second year, and this has already become a template.Derek Williams also has a good air cutting ability, but his shooting ability has a huge problem. However, seeing that Anson can develop above-level shooting ability last season, so the Timberwolves' management is very concerned about Derek. · Williams has enough confidence.
Philip Sanders' idea is very simple. Since it is difficult to make a breakthrough at the small forward, they would rather let Derek Williams go up to strengthen the defense.
However, in the first round, he was deflated in front of Anson. Anson raised his hand outside the three-point line and directly shook the nervous Derek Williams. The season's 38.4% three-point shooting rate is already above the middle of the league. At this level, Derek Williams naturally didn't dare to let him shoot easily, but even so, his jump still seemed too young.Break through and go straight to the inside line step by step.
The strength of the two insiders of the Big Pyrenees type is still good in top defense, help defense?With the bounce of the matchbox and a pair of short arms like Blake Griffin, the hard-working Kevin Love looked at An Sheng who rushed in with a little despair. Anson's head is even finished with a flat frame. 2+1, Kevin Love also paid a foul for this.
The Timberwolves' offensive coordination is also very tacit. Ricky Rubio's ground pass has found Derek Williams beautifully. The pick-and-roll of the two big pyrenes can't catch up with his run even though Anson with the camera system bit.
However, the handling after receiving the ball seemed very unwise. Instead of passing the ball, he attacked the frame by himself, and went straight up and down in front of Jordan to complete a layup, which may be difficult for An Sheng.
This is the biggest gap between Derek Williams and Anson, who just entered the league last season. His vision and passing are not enough to serve as the second fulcrum of the team. When the basketball is in their hands, only the basket is left in their eyes.
The offensive end was blocked, making Derek Williams even more flustered on the defensive end.This time defending Anson's back at the free throw line, Ansheng completely mobilized his center of gravity when he turned left for the first time, and after turning back to the right, he no longer saw the shadow of Derek Williams in his eyes. jump shot hit.
In the second quarter, Derek Williams also failed to achieve his ideal effect. Anson scored 10 points on 7 of 17 shots in a single quarter and scored 25 points in the first half.
However, the score gap was not widened too much. The Clippers only lead by 8 points. An Sheng's comeback seems to have added a debuff to all his players tonight, that is, the shooting rate has dropped, except for only alleys. Jordan and Anson himself, no one on the team shot 50% from the field.
The fans at the Target Center are not yet disappointed. They don't believe that Anson can maintain such a fiery touch throughout the game. As long as Anson's shooting percentage drops, the Timberwolves will have a chance to tie or even overtake the score.
"Shua!" "Shua" was a clear and pleasant sound of brushing the net. I just returned to the stadium in the second half. Many Timberwolves fans who went out to buy snacks or go to the toilet have not returned yet, but fortunately they have not returned, so they will not see this scene. In a heartbreaking scene, An Sheng received consecutive passes at two 45-degree angles on the left and right, and directly scored two three-pointers against the defender, directly opening the point difference to double digits.
The Timberwolves, who were in a hurry, were busy recovering the score and also shot three-pointers, which seemed very unwise. Their three-point shooting percentage was only 33.2% per game, and in the normal rotation, the most accurate three-pointers The player's name is Kevin Love, this is a power forward, the second most accurate is Jose Barea, a guard who played only 15 minutes.
Consecutive misses of three-pointers resulted in a lot of long rebounds, and long rebounds are exactly what An Sheng, who has opened the basketball tracking system, is good at. After returning to the court, he has finally been generous, and long rebounds are also Timberwolves’ rebounds. Wang Kevin Love is the last thing he wants to see, because his rebounds are obtained more by relying on excellent card positions.
The long rebound is accompanied by a counterattack. Luke Ridnour missed a three-pointer. The basketball bounced off the back of the basket and flew directly over the palms of several people inside and flew to the free throw line. Anson took the lead with his "sharp" feeling When he got near the free throw line, he picked up the rebound, and when he landed, he avoided Jose Barea's steal and accelerated quickly.
Unstoppable, Michael Beasley had to follow Anson to eat ashes. Even if Anson was the one with the ball, the actual free throw line took off and glided for a dunk. This dunk made the center of the target silent.
This night was perfect for An Sheng. He came back from injury and almost single-handedly scored the game into garbage time in three and a half quarters. Points, fast-break counterattack, An Sheng gave a vivid lesson on the offensive end to the two second-best small forwards on the opposite side. He used various methods and scored 35 of 25 shots in only 16 minutes. Scored 43 points, 6 assists and 8 rebounds.
"The return of the king is really amazing. I would be satisfied even if I traded their two No. 18 places for An Sheng!" Philip Sanders was [-] points behind in the half quarter, and Philip Sanders had already given up the game. He said that he had nothing to say, did he say that he was not talented enough for this position?But these are two No. [-] picks!To say that the players are too young, An Sheng on the opposite side is only in his second season.
