One of the biggest highlights of the Knicks vs. Spurs is the matchup between Knicks ace small forward Carmelo Anthony and the Spurs' new favorite small forward Kawhi Leonard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Well, but judging from the current situation, in front of Anthony, who has changed his style of play, Leonard feels a bit of a collapse. The offense can't be attacked, and the defense can't stop Anthony, who has slowly changed his style of play.

This is still too early, Leonard is far from mature, and he and Anthony are not at the same level at this time.

"Greg, do you want Qin to help, Kehuai feels too hard." The assistant coach off the field watched Leonard being bullied by Anthony, and he couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly suggested to Popovich.

"Wait." Popovich did not agree.

"Why? Are you going to continue to embarrass him? If this continues, his confidence will be destroyed by Cameron! "The assistant coach didn't understand.

"Kawhi is much stronger than you think." Popovich gave the assistant coach a blank look. "Moreover, if we let Qin help now, it can only mean that we no longer trust him, and for him, this is the biggest blow to his self-confidence."

The assistant coach doesn't speak, and it's true that if he does that, it really takes a big hit to the players, and the opponent doesn't deal as much of a blow as the coach's distrust.

"Qin can survive facing Kobe, I believe that Kohuai can too, Cameron's lethality will not be greater than Kobe." Popovich said it lightly, but if you look closely, you can see that his hands are clutching his sleeves tightly in front of his chest. Obviously, Popovich's heart is not so calm either, and this time, it is obviously a big gamble for him.

On the field, Anthony and Leonard faced each other again.

"Hey, boy, aren't you giving up?" Anthony played several times in a row, and his vigilance against Leonard relaxed slightly.

Leonard didn't answer, his forehead was already sweating, but he didn't bother to wipe it, facing Anthony, he really couldn't be careless.

Of course, Leonard is calm on the surface, but his inner fluctuations are still very large.

When the offense and defense were switched just now, the good buddy Qin Yan came over and asked if he wanted to help, although he refused, but I had to say that it would be much easier if there was Qin Yan's help.

After all, the two worked together to successfully prevent Durant, who is also a top three small forward in the league.

Another reason why Leonard refused Qin Yan's help was that Qin Yan did not escape in the heads-up with Kobe.

There was no option to help. In the end, Qin Yan learned a lot in the duel with Kobe, so today's showdown with Anthony Leonard also hopes to rely on his own strength to persevere to the end.

Only by facing super masters alone can you make yourself stronger.

Anthony didn't care what Leonard thought, his legs were spread apart, he squatted down, held the ball in front of his legs, and stared at Leonard with his eyes.

It's a very ordinary offensive move, but in Leonard's opinion, it's a murderous move.

"You can't be overwhelmed by his momentum, you have to strike first!" Leonard's brain was racing, and he suddenly wanted to pounce forward, and his right hand popped out like lightning, aiming directly at the ball in Anthony's hand!

"Naive." Anthony sneered, slapped the ball with his left hand, quickly came behind him with his right hand to catch the ball, dribbled under a standard crotch and then followed a small jump, directly conceded Leonard's steal, and added two points to the Knicks with a mid-range shot again.

Tsk, still doesn't work? Leonard clapped his hands with some annoyance, and his normally calm face also showed a large mood swing.

"Xiaoka, it's okay." Qin Yan came up to comfort his good buddy.

"Kehuai, cheer up, you're the heart of our defense." Parker came up and slapped Leonard's ass.

"Calm down, don't mess around." Duncan whispered as he pressed Leonard's head.

At this point, Popovich quickly called a short timeout to get them to adjust their mood.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop him." Leonard was a little lost.

"Hey, Xiaoka, it's okay, didn't I get beaten into a sieve by Kobe Bryant last time?" Qin Yan comforted him with his own personal experience.

Indeed, in the original historical trajectory, Leonard really matured after two finals, especially the second successful FMVP.

In the original history, the starting small forward of the Spurs this season was the "Martial Saint" Jackson, but now due to the arrival of Qin Yan, Jackson was traded, and Leonard had to take the position in advance, which put too much pressure on him.

"It's okay, just take care of it next, I'm sure Anthony won't be a problem for you." Qin Yan has great confidence in Leonard, after all, this is someone who even James can prevent, how can he not be able to prevent Anthony?

It's just that he hasn't grown up yet, and it still needs time.

"Kehuai." Duncan spoke suddenly.

"Today you have a mission, to prevent Anthony from death, you don't care about the offense, just leave it to us." Duncan said "I'm the boss and listen to me".

"Tim..."Leonard didn't know what to say, his teammates believed in him, but he almost gave up.

"Hehe, just let go and defend, now that he has scored points, we will help you recover it." Qin Yan patted his chest and reassured.

The others looked encouraging.

Leonard only felt a little sour in his nose.

"Alright boy, let's play, give the opposite side a little color!" Popovich didn't say much just now, and now the players on the team are really good, and he hardly says much encouraging. But he reminded his disciples at the right time that the game was still going on, so don't be too moved yet.

Back to the game, sure enough, the rest of the Spurs were trying to create opportunities for Leonard, blocking others when defending, so that Anthony could only choose to play alone in the end, and the offensive end continued to rely on the smooth operation of the whole team machine to bite the score, so that the Knicks have been unable to open up the difference.

Anthony has no other way but to continue to break Leonard's defense for the time being.

Leonard was sweating more than ever, still no, still can't stop Anthony, the action should be faster, faster!

He sees everything his teammates do for him, and every time Anthony gets a score from his side, his teammates try to get it back from the offensive end.

However, if it continues like this, it will be impossible for the team's point difference to catch up, and they can only keep catching up but cannot overtake, and they will eventually lose the game!

Once again, Anthony made a triple threat move.

"Facial paralysis boy, since your team has so much confidence in you and insists on letting you and me go head-to-head, then I can only blow up your defense."

Ah, yes, it's because I'm so weak, and if my defense can be a little stronger, the team won't be behind.

Anthony didn't talk nonsense, he had already started to return to basics a little bit, he just made a continuous crotch change of direction plus a turn, and he passed Leonard again!

"The Spurs are stupid, isn't that obviously giving me points?" Anthony was a little puzzled though. But the movement of his hands did not stop, a small jump adjusted the position, and he was ready to lift the ball and shoot again.

However, at this moment, a large black hand suddenly appeared from behind him, like a black lightning bolt, quickly and accurately cutting off the ball in his hand! The cut ball pops straight off the baseline.

"I've always had the impression that you love to play tricks, so you'll be subconsciously slower when you make a steal." A very calm voice suddenly came from behind him.

"When I realized that you had started to change your play, I realized that the reason why I can't guard you and slow down a little bit every time is because I think too much."

"Just be faster, faster, and I'll be able to stop you!"

Anthony turned his head expressionlessly, and Leonard's confident and calm face met his eyes.

He didn't see for the first time how this facial paralysis cut off his ball, but the replay on the big screen just now clearly told people.

Leonard, when he was passed, did not turn around and chase back, but directly inserted his hand behind him, and then just at the moment when Anthony was about to lift the ball to shoot, the outstretched hand cut the ball in Anthony's hand!

Is this a coincidence?

Anthony stared at the facial paralyzed imp in front of him, feeling a little surprised.

Leonard felt as if he had comprehended something.

Everyone else thought it was amazing.

Only Qin Yan was very calm, because he knew that Leonard's stunt had been practiced in advance!

The stunt that was supposed to be completed under the stimulation of James was completed ahead of schedule today under the pressure of Anthony!

The nightmare of all future swing guards, defensive stunt - "Death Entanglement", participate!
