Super Role Player

On November 1, US time, the 76ers stepped onto the floor of the Verizon Arena in Washington, ushering in their first away game of the new season.

This is John Wall's fourth season in the league and the last season of his rookie contract. Derrick Rose, a third-year student, became the league's regular season mvp. John Wall, who just entered the league, uttered wild words. He said : What Derrick Rose can do, he can do it too, and he can also become the league mvp during the rookie contract period.

But two seasons have passed in a blink of an eye, the Wizards have been spinning outside the playoffs, and John Wall is becoming more and more anxious. He urges the team to sign up.

This season, the Wizards kept their starting lineup from last season, then traded Emeka Okafoga for a protected 2014 first-round pick to Marcin Gota from the Suns on a dwindling expiring contract. Te, Shannon Brown, Kendall Marshall and Malcolm Lee have strengthened the team's center and bench.

Coupled with the joining of third-round pick Otto Porter, the Wizards of the new season are heading straight for the playoffs, and Zach Lowe also ranked the Wizards sixth in the Eastern Conference in his season preview. It can be said that Zack Lowe changed 76 After qualifying, the two teams are evenly matched opponents.

But Brett Brown is very aware of the Wizards' weakness. The Wizards' weakness is that they rely too much on John Wall. Although John Wall is now a well-known big talker in the league, this does not mean that John Wall has no strength. On the contrary, the current John Wall should be the top five point guards in the league.

Brett Brown chose to let Anxi defend John Wall. This game only needs to lock Wall to win the game.

After the game started, the 76ers suppressed the Wizards with a more reasonable tactical arrangement.

The 76ers took the lead at the beginning, and then the 76ers played steadily, gradually expanding the point difference. At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers had already scored 10 points with a score of 30:20.

The excellent state of the 76ers won them a lot of praise. At the end of the first quarter, Anxi scored 11 points. The defensive Wall made 0 of 4 shots and only got 2 points and 4 assists. Anxi once again proved himself.

However, Randy Whitman is not an easy coach to deal with. At the beginning of the second quarter, he arranged counterattack tactics and shifted the Wizards' offensive focus to the inside. Then, in the second quarter, he directly beat the 76ers with a 33:21. At the end of the game, the Wizards led the 76ers by 2 points.

During the intermission, Brett Brown made another adjustment and replaced Cole Aldridge to strengthen the inside defense. In the second half, the performance of the 76ers finally recovered and regained the suppression on the field. In the third quarter, 23: 21, regaining a 2-point deficit.

Then in the decisive battle in the fourth quarter, Anxi broke out,

Scored another 12 points in a single quarter and led the 76ers to a 35:28 final quarter. The final game ended with 109:102 and the 76ers won.

Anxi scored 29 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in the game, and was elected the best player again.

For the 76ers, McAway, who has received much attention, has declined to a certain extent. This game encountered John Wall's strict defense. In the end, he made 6 of 15 shots and scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. .

Evan Turner, one of the pseudo-big three, continued to perform well, scoring 23 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals on 10 of 18 shots from the field.

For the Wizards, John Wall was strictly defended by Anxi. In the end, he scored 12 points on 4 of 13 shots, 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals. The overall performance was not bad, but the Wizards performed the best. The new aid was Marcin Gortat, who made 10 of 19 shots in the game, scored 26 points and 14 rebounds, and completely abused the 76ers inside.

And it was after this battle that Brett Brown came up with the idea of ​​a change.

The 76ers do not have a chief assistant coach this season. According to Brett Brown, this is what he learned from the NFL. The team does not need a chief assistant coach, only a clear division of labor for each assistant coach. The team does not have a chief assistant coach, but Lloyd Pierce is the real chief assistant coach of the team. He led the team to participate in the summer league. In addition, in terms of external interviews, Lloyd Pierce often went to participate .

In addition, Lloyd Pierce is also the team's defensive coach, so Brett Brown found Lloyd Pierce after returning to Philadelphia, and carefully discussed the possibility of the team changing.

"Brett, if the team really wants to strengthen the defense, I suggest that Jack Crowder also start, so that Ann, Jack Crowder and Cole Aldridge can form a complete defensive lineup, The starting defense wouldn't be as bad as it is now."

Brett Brown put his chin in thought, then shook his head.

Lloyd Pierce also understands Brett Brown's concerns. It is nothing more than Evan Turner's outstanding performance in the two games and his offensive role is huge.

However, Lloyd Pierce still insisted on his thoughts: "Brett, you have to be clear that our current defense should be at the bottom of the league in the league."

Brett Brown nodded, he is naturally clear.

"If you let Cole Aldridge start, it is estimated that you can only improve three or four places."

Brett Brown nodded again.

Lloyd Pierce continued: "And if we let Jack Crowder start, then we can build an excellent defensive system, so that our defense can rank among the top fifteen in the league."

Brett Brown nodded again, and then shook his head suddenly: "Lloyd, Evan performed well, let's not let him go on the bench for the time being, that's the starting lineup, let Spencer go on the bench, Cole goes to start, we Build a defensive system with Kerr and Arn as the core."

Lloyd Pierce was a little depressed. After talking so much, he still failed to convince Brett Brown.

...

The 76ers returned to the third game in Philadelphia. They ushered in the Bulls at home, another strong team. According to Zach Lowe's authoritative ranking, the Bulls can be ranked in the top five in the Eastern Conference, which is considered to be a level higher than the 76ers. The team, so no one was optimistic that the 76ers would win before the game. Although they had won the Heat and the Wizards one after another, almost everyone believed that the 76ers would end their two-game winning streak in this game, and the odds of the gambling company were also It says it all.

Although the outside world is not optimistic that the 76ers can win, the 76ers themselves are quite confident.

Derrick Rose, who was seriously injured and rested for a season, finally came back. Under Rose's leadership, the Bulls had one win and one loss in the first two games, but Rose's performance was not very good. The Heat only scored 12 points on 4 of 15 shots in the first game. The Knicks scored 18 points on 7 of 23 shots, and the offensive end was completely out of shape.

Therefore, the confidence of the 76ers to win this game is also due to Rose's poor state. This is an opportunity for the 76ers.

However, at the beginning of the game, the Bulls relied on their high-pressure defense to get the 76ers to give up their armor. At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers fell behind by 12 points.

In the second quarter, the two sides replaced the bench lineup, and the 76ers left Anxi on the court. Seeing this, Tom Thibodu also left Luer Deng on the court.

But it turned out that Anxi completely defeated Luer Deng. In fact, counting the Olympics, Anxi had already defeated Luer Deng several times. In the second quarter, relying on Anxi's outstanding performance, the 76ers scored 33:19 in a quarter, which in turn led the Bulls by two points.

In the third quarter, the two teams fell into a dogfight again, and the scores were exchanged. After the third quarter, the Bulls led by 1 point, and the two sides entered the decisive stage of the fourth quarter.

In the decisive battle of the fourth quarter, the 76ers stood out from Anxi again, with 12 points in a single quarter, plus McAway's 7 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, the 76ers finally narrowly defeated the Bulls by 107:104, 3 points! Get a three-game winning streak!

The 76ers' victory was beyond everyone's expectations. Anxi scored 12 key points in the final quarter of the game, scored 28 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals in the game. With the excellent data of 26 points, 4 rebounds, 10 assists and 3 steals, plus Evan Turner's 20 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, it is not surprising that the 76ers won, because the pseudo-big three once again Qi broke out.

Of course, the 76ers can win the game, and it has nothing to do with Derrick Rose. In the third game after returning from a serious injury, Derrick Rose scored 13 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 8 turnovers on 4 of 14 shots. Normally, it is definitely not the 76ers who win this game.
