Chapter 453 Mental collapse
Two points behind, An Sheng played!All these factors once again attracted the screams of the Staples audience at this moment. Anson's playing gave them the confidence to fight against Kevin Durant. In fact, in the final analysis, only in the second quarter In the first few minutes, Kevin Durant was a little uncomfortable, but in the first quarter and the two rounds just now, he had scored as many as 22 points in the first half.
Maybe Kevin Durant was still anxious about being double-teamed and making consecutive mistakes when he came on the court in the second quarter, but in the eyes of the audience at the Staples Center, he was undoubtedly a god of death, and in this In the first game, An Sheng's offensive performance at the beginning was definitely not as good as Kevin Durant, otherwise, he wouldn't be two points behind the away Thunder at this time.
Anson played against Kevin Durant once again. At this moment, Anson's face was full of smiles, whether it was Kevin Durant's off-the-ball movement in the first quarter or the counter-empty cut in the second quarter. Anson was excited by his excellent performance against Jason Richardson in the two rounds just now. His offensive performance in this round was not very prominent, at least far worse than before.
Of course, even if he is the MVP of the regular season, even if he is the number one in the world, there will be times when he feels bad, and there will be times when he makes mistakes. Tonight, he has more opportunities to help the team from another aspect. Defense!Unless there is a problem with physical function, a person's defense will not be as dependent on the state as the offense. What Anson has to do now is to freeze Kevin Durant's momentum on the defensive end.
1vs1 at the top of the arc, Kevin Durant's face is serious, Anson's defensive posture is not much different from Jason Richardson, the difference between them is more reflected in the quality of the two people , he can easily pass Jason Richardson, it does not mean that the same method will work when facing Anson.
The accelerated breakthrough was easily blocked by An Sheng at the first time, and the subsequent fadeaway jumper, maybe An Sheng could not block the ball, but also, he could not see the basket that should have clearly appeared in front of his eyes. The jumper missed.At this moment, the cheers erupting from the Staples Center became even louder.
"No problem! Ann's defense is very good, Kevin can't get a lot of points, he can't take away this victory that belongs to us at the Staples Center." At this moment, as an uncle of the Clippers fans So excited, I even danced at the Staples Center.
"It's a beautiful defense. Ann needs to play such a fierce aggressiveness on the offensive end. This is a very important point, because Chris has done enough on the offensive end in this game. Now it is Ann who has to stand up. time."
Similarly, although Chris Paul had a little problem on the defensive end, it has to be said that he absolutely revitalized the entire team on the offensive end, and now is Anson's time.
In the last game, the tired Thunder team was directly penetrated by Anson's quick counterattack and off-ball running. Anson's off-ball running skills acquired from Richard Hamilton were used in dozens of regular season With less than 10 playoff games, he has already reached a high level of proficiency. For such a performance, An Sheng himself was also very surprised.
But when there is no Chris Paul, what is needed now is him holding the ball, also at the top of the arc, and also accelerating the breakthrough, but it is obvious that Anson's breakthrough speed is faster.
After directly opening the distance at the top of the arc, he suddenly turned his back. Kevin Durant is very good at shaking others' center of gravity on the offensive end, but it has become a problem to control his own center of gravity on the defensive end.
After getting rid of An Sheng, he did not choose to go to the basket, the vicious Kendrick Perkins, and the coveted Serge Ibaka.Their eyes were all warning An Sheng not to step into Thunder's restricted area easily.
He succeeded with a direct pull-up jumper, and he is not interested in challenging the Thunder's inside defense. At least in the case of 100% getting rid of Kevin Durant's defense, a stable mid-range shot is what he wants to use more.
In the 1VS1 this time, it was obvious that Anson took the lead, and this also made Kevin Durant, who had a very bad mentality, unable to calm down for a long time. In the next round, he chose to let Serge Ibaka help him pick and roll , Anson blocked the shot from the line, and let Anthony Davis go off the line to stop Kevin Durant's attack.
Although Kevin Durant's mentality is a little bit wrong, now is his chance. Facing this overwhelming defense, the bounce is not the top. He performed a very difficult pull bar in the air.Dodged the hand of Anthony Davis in the air.
The Thunder's bench is all on their feet and ready to shout for their boss's beautiful goal. The shot is not high, but Anthony Davis' leaning forward body can't prevent the ball from hitting the backboard. It popped in.
As long as it hits the backboard, even if Jordan, who came over from the right to help defend, completes this, it can only be counted as an interference ball.However, it seems that everyone has forgotten An Sheng who was on the line to catch Kevin Durant's shot. At the moment when Kevin Durant dropped the ball and broke through, An Sheng even raised his center of gravity at that time.But he's only halfway behind Kevin Durant.
Very exaggerated and explosive jumping ability. At this moment, Anson's bullet speed and early jumping made him close to Kevin Durant's position in an instant. Before the basket touched the backboard, An Sheng's palm first touched the basketball and sent a pegboard cap.
"Jump the ball!"
"nice shot!"
Two different voices sounded on the benches of the two teams at the same time, but the baseline referee ignored it at all. Just now, his angle was very good, and he could clearly see that An Sheng hit the ball first, and the ball hit the backboard. .This time the block was quickly converted into a beautiful counterattack, giving the Clippers a further lead.
While the Thunder players were still arguing with the referee that it was an interference ball, Kevin Durant, one of the parties involved in the interference ball, was a little dazed. Destroying his confidence in scoring, he and An Sheng's 1VS1 script at critical moments has never been successful.
