Defending against the Wizards' offense again, the score on the sidelines remained unchanged at 14:9. [w.SuiMеng.lā

Anxi slipped around from the baseline to the bottom corner. McAwee passed the ground pass to Anxi. Anxi broke through with the ball and opened a step away from Ariza. Then he made another emergency stop jumper. The basketball flew Towards the basket, there was a bang, and the iron was struck again.

This time Cole Aldridge failed to grab the rebound, Nene Hilario protected the rebound, and the Wizards continued to consume the game time.

Due to the Wizards' slow-paced play, the game was already over at half a quarter, and the 76ers were still lagging behind. At this time, even Anxi's shooting was unstable, and Brett Brown seemed a little anxious.

"Anxi missed his shot again. Now he is 3 of 6 and his overall shooting percentage is still at 50%." Kenny Smith took a look at the data and then said something. Charles Barkley then took over the topic: "But if Anxi continues If he misses the shot, his shooting percentage will definitely drop. Judging from these two goals, Anxi's condition is not very good."

Kenny Smith nodded and agreed. After missing two consecutive shots, Anxi's state was even a little sluggish. This was not like Anxi during the four-game winning streak.

Anxi continued to hit the ball, but it was not over yet. After the Wizards' attack failed, Anxi attacked with the ball and hit a three-pointer from the outside, finally scoring again.

But then there was another double iron, and the first quarter ended. Anxi made 4 of 9 shots in the first quarter, with a shooting rate of less than 44.4%, which was a little lower than Anxi's average shooting rate per game.

Fortunately, Anxi's three-pointer relieved the 76ers' urgent need and suddenly reduced the point difference to 2 points. Then, the 76ers relied on a sudden burst of defense to stabilize the situation. At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers 22:24, 2 points behind the Wizards.

Although Anxi, who made 4 of 9 shots from the field, had a poor shooting percentage, he scored 10 points in the first quarter and still carried the team forward.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Anxi, who had played the entire first quarter, was replaced and rested. The 76ers' bench played for 5 minutes, slightly losing to the Wizards' bench. Before Anxi came back on the court, the Wizards led the 76ers by 5 points.

The score difference was not big. In the second quarter, the two teams played in chaos. The offensive battle turned into a chaotic battle, and the shooting rate was not very high. If you only look at the data, this game looks more like a defensive battle, but the commentator Charles Barkley of this game even believed that this game was actually a game between rookies, especially when the substitutes were fighting against each other.

However, Kenny Smith put forward a different view: "The substitute lineup is a bit of a fight, but the main players of both sides still played very well, and the offense and defense were very organized. At least the main lineup's game was a defensive battle."

Charles Barkley later agreed with Smith's statement,

Because the main players of both sides reappeared, the game became rhythmic again, but the rhythm was still controlled by the Wizards.

Anxi's first goal as a substitute, he found an open opportunity on the outside, substitute point guard Shaun Livingston passed the ball to Anxi, and Anxi jumped up and shot.

"Anxi's open shots should not be hit again this time." Charles Barkley yelled, but then his crow's mouth worked.

With a bang, Anxi's three-pointer hit the backboard directly, then bounced off the rim and missed!

Charles Barkley touched his bald head and didn't know what to say.

"Anxi's open three-pointer actually missed. It seems that he has lost his touch."

Kenny Smith said lightly, and then went on to analyze: "This is Anxi's third consecutive iron. He has now hit 4 goals in 10 shots. His hit rate is a bit dismal, with only 40% hit rate left. And It looks like he won’t get his touch back in the short term.”

Anxi did struggle a bit, and his shooting touch was a bit bad. After this three-pointer, Anxi continued to hit the iron. In the first quarter, he made 7 consecutive irons, and his personal shooting data became 4 of 13, and in the second In the last few minutes of the second quarter, Anxi only relied on six free throws, and scored 5 points on 5 of 6 free throws.

Counting the 10 points in the first quarter, Anxi still scored 15 points after halftime.

Fortunately, although Anxi kept hitting the iron, the Wizards also kept hitting the iron. In the second half of the second quarter, the two sides really fought a defensive battle. Except for Anxi's opening three-pointer, Anxi's other shots were through breakthroughs. He worked hard to cause damage, so although Anxi's touch was not good, his condition was still very good.

Relying on Anxi's breakthrough inside kill, the 76ers were only 1 point behind the Wizards at halftime.

In the third quarter, Anxi continued to feel poor. He played for more than 5 minutes in the first half of the third quarter and only hit one goal in 3 shots. However, he committed three more fouls and scored 6 points in 6 free throws, helping the 76ers to tie. The Wizards were then replaced by Brett Brown to rest.

Evan Turner took over from Anxi and made sudden shots. He scored 11 points in the third quarter and clung to the score.

In the final decisive battle in the fourth quarter, the defense became even more fierce. Anxi was tightly defended by the Wizards. The first goal of the fourth quarter was the 76ers' possession.

Anxi holds the ball. Thaddeus Young sets a pick-and-roll screen for Anxi. Anxi uses the screen to shake off Ariza and rushes into the paint. Marcin Gortat, who is covering the defense, gets a foul in the face. With a beep, the referee whistle blows. Anxi Still couldn't score.

Marcin Gortat fouled, Anxi went to the free throw line, made two free throws, and the 76ers took the lead.

Then, John Wall missed a layup, and the 76ers went on a fast break. However, Evan Turner's emergency stop jumper failed to make a fast break. Trevor Ariza, who returned to defense, grabbed the rebound and took advantage of the situation to make a shot. A wave of fast breaks, and with a swish sound, John Wall hit a fast break layup, and the score returned to its original point.

At the free throw line, Anxi held the ball, shrugging his shoulders constantly, accelerating, then stopping, and shooting a jump shot!

There was an exclamation from the sidelines, and Kenny Smith also opened his eyes and shouted: "We have the ball!"

With a bang, the basketball bounced twice on the rim, and finally bounced out and missed...

Kenny Smith couldn't help but sigh: "Anxi hit the iron again, shooting 5 of 17, and the shooting rate has dropped below 30%."

On the court, Anxi waved his hands helplessly, then turned around to defend.

…

The game entered the end of the fourth quarter amidst all the sounds of iron. In the last 1 minute and 12 seconds of the game, the Wizards led by 1 point, but the ball belonged to the 76ers.

Anxi broke through and then made a point ball. The basketball flew into the hands of Evan Turner from a hidden angle. Turner made a mid-range jumper and hit it with a bang!

Charles Barkley shouted excitedly: "Evan Turner! The decisive goal!"

"There are 55 seconds left in the game!"

At 55 seconds, the game suddenly became tense.

"John Wall's breakthrough, they were not going to waste time, they came up quickly! It only took 11 seconds!" Kenny Smith took a deep breath, and then his voice suddenly rose: "The ball went in! John Wall, he He was the No. 1 pick in the 2010 draft, and Evan Turner was the No. 2 pick! At the critical moment, the No. 1 pick and the No. 2 pick broke out together!"

"44 seconds, let's see how the 76ers handle it..."

The 76ers didn't call a timeout, they only had one timeout left, so Brett Brown could only stand on the sidelines and keep yelling, asking his players to control the time.

McAway controlled time from the outside. In order to give himself a chance to make the last shot, with 35 seconds left in the game, McAway moved...

A breakthrough, reaching the basket, the Wizards immediately organized a cover defense, and McAway was locked in the penalty area!

He picked up the ball with both hands, flicked his right hand back, and the basketball flew out and reached Anxi!

"Anxi!"
