Super Role Player

After defeating the Warriors, the 76ers' winning streak came to 4 games. With four consecutive wins in the first game, the 76ers became the only team in the league that has never lost. ~~щww~suimеng~lā『┡

Therefore, they naturally ascend to the top spot in the Eastern Conference and even the league standings. Of course, everyone knows that the 76ers' first place in the league is temporary. The 76ers' four consecutive wins have allowed the 76ers to show their strength, but their strength is far from being first in the Eastern Conference or even first in the league. The decline is For sure, even the 76ers themselves think so.

However, within the 76ers, the atmosphere is enthusiastic. They do not have too ambitious goals, only some small goals, such as continuing the winning streak as much as possible and winning one more game.

Therefore, on November 6, they continued to play at home and met the Wizards again.

The Wizards' state in the new season is a bit bad. John Wall's goal is the playoffs, but since the start of the season on October 30, they have lost consecutively, not only to the 76ers, but also to the Heat and Pistons. It has been three games since the start of the season. The losing streak, compared with the 76ers' four-game winning streak, is nothing short of a world away.

In this game against the 76ers, the Washington media shouted the slogan "Battle to the Bottom", which meant clearly that if they don't win this game, the Wizards will really have a problem.

But against the 76ers, the Washingtonians don't have much confidence. After all, the 76ers are in great shape now, especially Anxi. They scored another 37 points in the last game. Their status and feel are so hot that they are about to explode.

How to deal with Anxi has become the Wizards' biggest headache.

Randy Whitman was under a lot of pressure. The three-game losing streak at the beginning of the game was undoubtedly extremely bad for the Wizards, a team that aspired to the playoffs. Therefore, after the three-game losing streak hit the bottom, Randy Whitman lost everything he had. He put all his energy into this game, and he even prepared to play this game as a playoff game.

In the visiting team's locker room at Wachovia Arena, Randy Whitman also said this: "Boys, we have lost three consecutive games. This is an unforgivable record. We can't lose anymore. So we must win this game!"

"I hope you can show all your strength and condition and play this game as a playoff game."

…

This game is considered the focus of the Eastern Conference. The 76ers unexpectedly became first in the Eastern Conference and first in the league, and the Wizards unexpectedly became the last in the Eastern Conference. The performance of both teams was abnormal, so when will it resume? Normally, it becomes the focus of people's attention.

The battle between the Wizards and the 76ers attracted the attention of countless media.

The game will be televised nationally by Turner Sports, which has the commentary team of Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.

This was the first time Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley commented on the Anxi game after the Finals. Before that, they commented on the Spurs' opening game and mentioned Anxi. However, at that time, the 76ers' opening game had not started yet. A week later, Anxi led the 76ers to become the league's number one, and he also became the Player of the Week in the first week of the new season. Even Charles Barkley found it incredible.

"Anxi's progress is incredible. He was the Most Improved Player last season. This season, maybe the league's Most Improved Player award will have to be awarded to him." Charles Barkley said before the game started. "Kenny, who do you think will win this game? Can the 76ers continue their winning streak? Or will the Wizards end their losing streak?"

Last season, Kenny Smith was a big fan of Anxi because of his status as a role player. Kenny Smith also saw the transformation of Anxi this season. On the one hand, he was a little surprised. On the other hand, Kenny Smith also felt sorry for Anxi. Anxi is happy. He feels that Anxi has achieved the step that he failed to achieve back then.

Therefore, Kenny Smith is unconditionally optimistic about the 76ers in this game: "I think the 76ers will win this game. First, the 76ers are at their peak. Secondly, the last meeting between the two teams is just around the corner. The 76ers They completely defeated the Wizards, with only a slight disadvantage in the interior. In this game, the 76ers made some changes in the interior. Cole Aldridge entered. I believe that the 76ers' interior defense will be greatly improved, so in this game, the 76ers It has advantages in every aspect.”

Charles Barkley also nodded. Apparently he agreed with Kenny Smith and believed that the 76ers were more likely to win this game.

However, if Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley's approval was heard by Anxi, they would definitely wave their hands in rejection, and then say: "You are poisoning the milk!"

Before the game started, all the cameras on the sidelines were set up. Several reporters were debugging the machines, and there were also a group of reporters talking about the game.

Unlike Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley, reporters from all over North America are not very optimistic about the 76ers. They believe that the Wizards have hit bottom, and the 76ers have hit the top. It is impossible for either team to lose again. , the other one can't win anymore, so the Wizards have a greater chance of winning this game.

Who is right or wrong between the two sides will definitely depend on the outcome of the game.

Soon, players from both sides appeared. The 76ers' lineup was unchanged from the previous game, while the Wizards' lineup was unchanged from the last time the two teams played against each other. Point guard John Wall, shooting guard Bradley Beal, and small forward Trey Ariza, power forward Nene Hilario and center Marcin Gortat.

Marcin Gortat and Cole Aldridge stood in the center circle, and as the referee threw the basketball high into the air, the game officially began...

Marcin Gortat won the jump ball, and the Wizards controlled the rhythm of the game. On the first goal of the game, the Wizards started a positional attack. After continuous outside cross-running, John Wall broke through and cut into the penalty area with the ball. After attracting the defense, he distributed the ball to Nene, and Nene hit the jump shot. The Wizards' first wave of offense ended like this, and they consumed 22 seconds.

"The Wizards' slow offense may provide us with an idea for defeating the 76ers. The 76ers' first four games were all about fast breaks and quick counterattacks. But now the Wizards obviously want to slow down the pace. Give the 76ers the opportunity to play fast breaks and counterattacks. In any case, the 76ers are just a young team. Although they have won the first four games, they are just a dark horse now. Once other teams find their weaknesses, the next The game wasn’t that easy to play.”

Although it was only the first ball, Kenny Smith had already seen a lot of things, including Randy Whitman's careful arrangement and the 76ers' situation.

Nene's missed mid-range shot does not mean that there was a mistake in Randy Whitman's arrangement. It is just because the game has just begun and they still need to find their touch.

Since the Wizards were going to play a positional battle, the 76ers had to speed up the pace, so Brett Brown stood on the sidelines and waved his hand. McAway received the ball in the backcourt and quickly rushed towards the frontcourt.

Anxi also got instructions from Brett Brown. Not long after he took up his position in the frontcourt, he went directly to the outside and cooperated with McAway. After a pick-and-roll screen, McAway rushed inside, attracted the defense, and then looked back at the moon. , directly passed the ball to Anxi, who was still waiting at the top of the arc.

Wachovia suddenly exclaimed. Anxi received the ball and jumped high to shoot a three-pointer.

"Anxi's open three-pointer is here!"

With a swish sound, the basketball hit the net!

"Anxi's three-pointer went in! He doesn't need to look for touch! The 76ers scored first and the game continues!"

The Wizards continued their positional attack, and it was John Wall's breakthrough. After the breakthrough, a ball was passed to the outside. Bradley Beal, who received the ball, failed to find a good opportunity. Anxi's defense against him was too tight, so he came again at the moment. A cross screen was set and the ball was handed to Trevor Ariza.

Ariza, who was known as a scumbag in the Rockets back then, shot a long two-point shot from outside. It hit the inside of the basket with a clang and bounced in.

The ball goes in! The Wizards also scored quickly, but this attack still took up to 20 seconds of attack time. They still firmly controlled the rhythm. 8
