Super Role Player

On October 25, 2013, the Philadelphia 76ers held a press conference in their training facility. Before that, they had officially announced the layoff of three players.

And this press conference is to announce the signing of a non-guaranteed formal contract with other remaining players.

The three players who were cut were shooting guard Lorenzo Brown, power forward Brandon Davis and center Dewayne Dedmon.

In this way, among the remaining players, Elliott Williams, James Anderson, Hollis Thompson and Byron Mullens signed a one-year contract with the 76ers under the auspices of Sam Hinkie. The guaranteed basic salary is temporarily kept in the team, because the contract is a non-guaranteed basic salary, so they may still be abandoned.

The 15-man roster of the 76ers was also announced.

Point guards: Michael Carter-Williams, Sean Livingston, Tony Roten;

Shooting guards: Anxi, James Anderson, Elliott Williams;

Small forwards: Evan Turner, Jae Crowder, Francisco Garcia, Hollis Thompson;

Power forwards: Thaddeus Young, Henry Sims;

Centers: Spencer Hawes, Cole Aldridge, Byron Mullens.

Finally, Nerlens Noel, who has been reimbursed for the season and applied for an injury exception, is added.

The 15-man roster was released, and doubts about McAway appeared again, but this time, the doubts appeared about the strength of the 76ers. The point guard line composed of McAway, Sean Livingston and Tony Roten, No matter how you look at it, you are a weak chicken.

Facing the reporter's question of who is the starting point guard for the 76ers in the new season, Brett Brown did not answer, but in fact Brett Brown already had the answer. Kawhi is back, so the starting point guard for the new season can only be Kawhi.

McAway regained his confidence, and at the same time understood how to use his strengths to avoid weaknesses. Throughout the team training game, McAway used his breakthroughs, his ball control and his passing to completely abuse Tony Roten.

Brett Brown didn't answer, just because he had to consider the thoughts of other players. He said before that the starting lineup needs competition, and everyone has the opportunity to start, so Brett Brown can't say that the starting lineup must be McAway's. .

But Brett Brown's reluctance to answer, in the eyes of Henry Abbott,

But it turned out that the 76ers couldn't find a qualified starting point guard. Therefore, before the start of the season, Henry Abbott's final prediction ranked the Philadelphia 76ers in the twelfth place in the East, which is the third from the bottom in the East.

His reason is simple. The 76ers can't even make up a starting lineup, so they don't have to think about the playoffs. The twelfth in the Eastern Conference is the most likely position for the 76ers.

In his rookie prediction rankings, McAway ranked 62nd among all rookies, which is basically the bottom of the list. Even some undrafted rookies and older rookies have overwhelmed McAway.

Another important ranking, in the league player rankings, Anxi is ranked 56th by Henry Abbott. He believes that Anxi in the new season will be an All-Star, but only an All-Star.

And McAway, who ranks 62nd among rookies, is directly the bottom of the league's player rankings. He ranks 441st out of 446 players in the league, and only 5 players in the league are worse than him.

...

Henry Abbott's ranking has been recognized to a certain extent, because the strength shown by the 76ers in the preseason is like this, and the strength shown by McAway is like this. On the other hand, Zach Lowe's preseason preview is also the same. It was released soon, but the pre-season preview of this authoritative data expert has attracted countless controversies.

First of all, Zach Lowe believes that the Brooklyn Nets that make up the Big Five are not the top three teams in the East. Clovis believes that the Knicks in the new season will be a team on the fringes of the playoffs.

The ranking of these two New York teams has attracted countless controversies for Zach Lowe. After all, one formed the Big Five and the other was the second in the Eastern Conference last season. The main lineup did not lose much; The 76ers are ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference, which is the edge of the playoffs, just like the New York Knicks.

In addition, Zak Lowe also believes that Anxi is the most unpredictable player in the new season. Anxi’s playing time in the preseason is insufficient, which is difficult to calculate. In addition, Anxi still has a performance of 56 points in a single game, which makes Zach Lowe didn't know where to rank Anxi. In the end, he could only give Anxi the 30th ranking in the league, and added a sentence after the 76ers' ranking.

"The 76ers have a chance to enter the playoffs, but it depends on Anxi's performance."

In other words, Zach Lowe ranked the 76ers ninth, which is actually just his conservative ranking. If Anxi performed better, he even thought that the 76ers should be ranked higher!

However, in this way, his colleague Henry Abbott was dissatisfied. In his opinion, Zaklowy's ranking was completely different from his. Burt made a statement on his social media, targeting McAway and Zach Lowe...

Because Zach Lowe did not comment on McAway, and in Henry Abbott's view, the biggest weakness of the 76ers is McAway's No. 11 rookie this season, and Zack Lowe's pre-season preview The biggest problem in the movie is also ignoring McAway.

"Zak Lowe thinks that the Philadelphia 76ers have a chance to make the playoffs, but his remarks are a joke in my opinion. Maybe he ignored McAway, a No. 11 rookie who is destined to be a parallel importer. I also think that McAway will become a qualified starting point guard, but in fact, with the strength of McAway, it is difficult for him to gain a foothold in the league..."

...

In the training hall in Philadelphia, although autumn has arrived, the heat of summer has not dissipated. Brett Brown was sweating profusely shouting on the sidelines, and the players of the 76ers were conducting deeper tactical training.

"Quick, quick! Run! Michael, pass the ball! Pass the ball! Don't stick to the ball!"

"Ann, catch and shoot! Catch and shoot! Got it? Don't stick to the ball!"

In short, don't stick to the ball. Brett Brown hopes to see a team that can move the ball quickly. The game will be smooth when the ball is running, and the biggest advantage of the 76ers-passing will also be used.

McAway has gradually adapted to the team's tactics, and the only problems in the starting lineup are the lack of an excellent three-point shooter and the lack of a frame-protecting center. In the starting lineup, only Anxi has the ability to shoot from a distance. The firepower is relatively lacking, and Spencer Hawes's ability to protect the frame is relatively weak. If adjusted, Cole Aldridge can only be the starter. However, Brett Brown does not know how much the impact of these two problems will be. The competition has not yet started, and the actual combat test is the most important thing.

After the training, Anxi collapsed directly on the chair on the sidelines.

McAway handed Anxi a towel, Anxi smiled and said thank you.

On the other hand, James Anderson is not as tired as Anxi at all. After all, Brett Brown did not fuck all the substitutes like he fucked Anxi. After the training, James Anderson took out his phone directly, swiped it for a while, and then seemed to discover a new world The general cried out.

"Wow, ESPN's season preview is out, Henry Abbott and Zack Lowe are having a fight."

Anxi smiled: "It must be Henry Abbott who hacked us."

James Anderson immediately gave Anxi a thumbs up: "Anxi is right, Henry Abbott thinks we are the third-to-last team in the East, and Zach Lowe thinks we are the ninth team in the East, and even have a chance to break into the team." Playoffs."

Anxi nodded: "They are all wrong."

"All wrong?"

"We are already a playoff team!"

"Haha..." Everyone laughed. The current 76ers are quite optimistic. Under the leadership of Anxi...

Brett Brown on the side also smiled. This relaxed and confident team atmosphere is a bit like the Spurs, which is a good sign.

"By the way, also, Henry Abbott thinks Michael is the league's bottom rookie and the league's bottom player, haha! I think this is the funniest thing!" James Anderson laughed, and the other players of the 76ers also laughed up.

After the end of the preseason, the 76ers have team training games almost every day, and McAway's performance is getting better every day. In the last few team training games, he even played against Anxi, leading With another team, it drew a tie with the team led by Anxi, and the current state can be described as hot.

Henry Abbott actually said that McAway is the last rookie and player in the league, which is simply a joke.

An Xi grinned: "Henry Abbott thinks his face is not swollen enough, Michael, you have to perform well in the next game."

McAway's face was always filled with a smile, that kind of confident smile. After hearing Anxi's words, he nodded fiercely: "I will!"

The opponent of the 76ers in the first game of the regular season is the Heat. McAway has no fear. The opponent is very strong. The comeback Big Three met Anxi at the beginning of the season, who made them suffer so much last season. Obviously they will not let it go This opportunity for revenge, their goal is not victory, but a big victory.

The 76ers are already ready to go. Before the start of the regular season, Anxi summed up the benefits of the jersey system to himself.

"Three-point attribute bonus 90; mid-range shot attribute bonus 85; single defense attribute bonus 99; steal attribute bonus 95; off-ball attribute bonus 70; post-up attribute bonus 80; ball control attribute bonus 83; emergency The stop jumper attribute bonus is 70; the breakthrough attribute bonus is 60; the fadeaway jumper attribute bonus is 99; the low post attribute bonus is 70.”

Coupled with the fact that the dual consciousness attribute is around 85, Anxi is also well prepared for the new season, and he will start to kill the Quartet. (To be continued.)
