Chapter 24 Lay off McAway?

The Knicks' counterattack quickly ended without a problem. Anxi made two consecutive mid-range shots, which directly ended the game with 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Finally, at the end of the game, Anxi scored 56 points and led the 76ers to a 117:109 victory, ending the two-game losing streak in the preseason and giving the Knicks a three-game losing streak.

After the game, Henry Abbott's pre-season warm-up was greatly questioned. Anxi hasn't proved himself yet, is he overrated? Is it still overrated to score 56 points in front of Iman Shumpert and Carmelo Anthony, hasn't he proved himself yet?

The 76ers are the third worst team in the league? Are the 76ers who beat the Knicks still the third worst in the league?

Obviously, Henry Abbott's pre-season warm-up has been completely overturned by the fact that the 76ers beat the Knicks...

Before Henry Abbott could speak, Zach Lowe said on his social network: "Three-game losing streak in the preseason, the strength of the Knicks is overestimated, maybe they should be on the edge of the Eastern Conference playoffs." team, not the top three teams; as for the 76ers, at present, their strength is definitely not the last one.”

Zach Lowe directly slapped his colleague Henry Abbott in the face. As a statistician, Zack Lowe’s prediction is obviously more authoritative, so all of a sudden, discussions about the performance of the 76ers in the new season became hot in North America. stand up.

Henry Abbott also admitted his mistakes. Anxi's 56 points are enough to prove himself, but he still believes that the 76ers will not do much in the new season. Maybe the 76ers will not be the bottom of the league, but at least The 76ers are also a team outside the Eastern Conference playoffs, and they are still a bad team.

Henry Abbott made a starting lineup on his social networking site: "Point guard Sean Livingston, shooting guard Anxi, small forward Evan Turner, power forward Thaddeus Young, center Spencer Hawes .”

"In this lineup, the point guard is Sean Livingston, who is only a substitute, and the center can only use Spencer Hawes, who has no ability to protect the basket. The biggest problem with this team is defense, and the second problem is that they are not qualified. The third problem is that there is no three-point firepower other than Anxi. The problem with this lineup is really too big. Maybe they are not the bottom of the league, but at least they are not a team in the playoffs.”

Henry Abbott's latest analysis has been recognized by many people. Henry Abbott changed the subject and directly turned to McAway.

"Michael Carter-Williams, the No. 11 rookie of this year, has performed sluggishly in three consecutive games. Perhaps he will be the first high-ranking rookie to be eliminated by the league in the new season."

All of a sudden, McAway received a lot of attention, and people did find that McAway's performance was a bit struggling. Needless to say, the performance of the two China games,

The 76ers won the last game, but McAway's performance was the worst in the 76ers. He made 1 of 4 shots and only scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists in the end.

When Henry Abbott turned his attention to McAway, some media even believed that the 76ers should choose to keep Eric Maynor and lay off McAway, because the performance of the veteran Maynor was much better than that of McAway.

McAway is under tremendous pressure. For him, this period should be the most difficult period in his career. The team cannot start, his performance is poor, the media is constantly criticizing, and even the local Philadelphia Fans don't like it...

"Philadelphia Daily News" sports reporter Bob Cooney wrote an exclusive report on McAway. As a reporter close to the 76ers, Bob Cooney is often allowed into the training hall to watch the 76ers practice. So, Bob Cooney knows McAway very well in the training game.

He believes that McAway will definitely be able to adapt to the NBA, and he will definitely be able to grow into a qualified NBA starter, but now that McAway's state has fallen into a downturn, he called on the fans of the 76ers to be patient.

But McAway's performance is there, and the local fans in Philadelphia will still question McAway, and they even questioned Bob Cooney. They believe that Bob Cooney was entrusted by the 76ers' management to Alleviate outside criticism of McAway...

In the center of Philadelphia, in front of a newsstand in the Central Plaza, several fans wearing the newly purchased 76ers No. 7 jerseys bought a new issue of the newspaper while showing their jerseys to their partners.

"It is said that the Wachovia Center has sold out of stock, and this is the last one for me."

His partner looked envious: "It cost a lot of money, Jim?"

"Of course, this is the last thing." The fan named Jim raised his chin.

Another friend of his has already bought a newspaper, and the headline is Anxi, a big photo, with 56 points and words bloody red.

"Jim, Tyron, do you think Anxi will become the next Allen?"

The fan who envied Jim just now was called Tai Lun, and he nodded: "Of course, Ann will definitely lead us to rise again like Allen!"

But Jim shook his head: "No, Ann is Ann, he is not Allen, and Ann will lead the 76ers to become the Bulls of the new century just like Michael Jordan did back then!"

"That's right! The bull of the new century!"

The three fans were a little excited. The fan holding the newspaper was named Kevin. He also smiled and turned the newspaper to the second page.

The fan named Tyron saw the headline on the second page at a glance: "Michael Carter Williams, a sleeping lion?"

Jim immediately sneered: "Hey, who wrote this article? Sam Hinkie chose a parallel importer, and he can actually become a lion?"

Kevin, who was holding the newspaper, frowned: "Bob Cooney."

"Bob Cooney? He's an old reporter, maybe he knows something inside?" Tyronn said hesitantly.

Jim immediately interrupted him: "Can there be any inside story, parallel imports are parallel imports, 1 of 4 shots in the preseason, this level is nothing to say, Michael Carter Williams, the name is good, it is Michael and Carter and Williams James's."

Kevin shook his head: "Let's watch the next game first..."

...

McAway fell into a slump. He didn't even know how to play. He performed well in the training game, but he began to make mistakes again and again. Brett Brown kept yelling at him, but the more he yelled, the performance of McAway became worse. The more sluggish.

Anxi even felt that he should talk to McAway, but Brett Brown told Anxi: "Ann, you don't have to worry about Michael. This is the path every rookie has to take. They have to learn to adapt to this league, no matter the field. On or off the field.”

So, Anxi could only watch McAway continue to struggle...

In the fourth game of the preseason, the 76ers played against the Knicks at home. For the Knicks, who have lost three games in a row, the importance of this game has increased a bit compared to the previous game.

The Knicks, who were striving for victory, finally got their wish at the Wachovia Arena. Of course, they won relatively easily, because the 76ers didn't want to fight at all in this game. Players on training camp contracts.

Then, after four preseason games, the 76ers once again announced the layoff of two players. Because Cole Aldridge performed well, the selection of inside positions was reduced a lot, so the 76ers chose to lay off the power forward. Arnett Moultrie, also waived veteran point guard Eric Maynor.

The move to lay off Maynor quickly caused controversy, because before that, Henry Abbott suggested that the 76ers should keep Eric Maynor and lay off McAway.

Speaking of the performance of the last game alone, Eric Maynor was much better than McAway. Maynor made 2 of 3 shots, including a three-pointer, scoring 5 points and 2 assists. Wei made another 1 of 5 shots, scored 4 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. His offensive performance was still terrible.

Comparing the two sides, it seems that the 76ers should cut McAway instead of Maynor.

But in fact, it is impossible for the 76ers to give up a No. 11 rookie. Henry Abbott has ulterior motives, and the fans are also agitated by him and become blind, so the call for cutting McAway suddenly became louder... (To be continued.)
