Super Role Player

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith appeared on the sidelines. As the two instigators of the vote-leading incident, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith took their seats in the commentary box, and then began to discuss whether Anxi was worthy of the vote-leading throne.

Since ancient times, the vote king has been the exclusive preserve of NBA superstars. Since the 21st century, Vince Carter has won the vote king four times with his explosive dunks. He is also nicknamed Demigod.

Then, Kobe Bryant also won the All-Star vote king three times. He also had a nickname, Peter Pan.

Then there is LeBron James, who has won the All-Star vote twice. He just entered the league and is that special one.

The dissatisfaction of North American fans is that LeBron James is at the peak of his popularity, and Anxi suddenly comes out and directly crushes James. He leads LeBron James by 150,000 votes in the first round. Even if Yao became an All-NBA player that year. The star vote leader did not crush the second place, which made many American fans dissatisfied. Coupled with the hype of Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, radical fans in North America suddenly began to oppose Anxi.

However, Kenny Smith still insisted on his original idea that Anxi was worthy of the top vote.

"Averaging 28.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 3.4 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game, shooting 49.8% from the field, and 45.5% from the three-point range. Such a performance is not worthy of the All-Star vote-winner? Maybe these fans are biased. Looking at the 700,000 votes in Anxi." Kenny Smith talked to the camera.

Charles Barkley quickly snatched the words away: "Yes, Anxi's average per game statistics are very good, and the team's record is also very impressive, but some radical fans in the United States just don't like him. The reason may be very simple, Anxi He is a Chinese, he is a yellow race!"

Kenny Smith was shocked. Charles Barkley defined the Anxi voting champion controversy as the racial discrimination of radical American fan groups!

However, he was used to hearing Charles Barkley's shocking words, so Kenny Smith didn't pay attention and continued to listen to Charles Barkley's tirade.

"Last season, Anxi won the Most Improved Player, the Best Sixth Man, and a valuable Finals MVP. In addition, the title of the strongest dunker among the yellow race has long been eliminated by Anxi. Anxi's game He seems to be full of passion. Can a single vote leader deny Anxi's strength? As I said..."

Charles Barkley continued, in Miami, in a small room that was small enough to fit only a bed, William Hunter was scrolling through his mobile phone while cursing.

William Hunter is a white man who looks very fair, as fair as a baby. He graduated from Florida State University with a journalism major.

He is currently unemployed and is trying to find a job as an NBA reporter. When the news emerged that Anxi became the top vote-getter, this LeBron James fan couldn't help it. He repeatedly tweeted to denounce Anxi. As a result, he received a lot of money. fans.

And now, William Hunter was scrolling through Twitter while listening to Charles Barkley criticizing himself, and then a few seconds later, he sent out another tweet, continuing to use the Anxi Voting King incident to attract fans.

He was still muttering: "You actually stole the King's throne, yellow-skinned monkey, you deserve to die!"

Then the next second, William Hunter's phone rang, and it was a call from the Florida Courier-Times. Their editor-in-chief strongly invited William Hunter to work for the Florida Courier-Times, but William Hunter's current goal is no longer this kind of tabloid. William Hunter prefers to work in national media such as ESPN and USA Today.

So after briefly dealing with it, William Hunter hung up the phone.

On the TV, the Blazers' home game against the 76ers was about to begin. Anxi had already taken off his outer training clothes and stood in the middle of the field.

The game is about to start, and the starting lineups of both sides have already appeared.

The 76ers still have point guard McAway, shooting guard Anxi, small forward Jae Crowder, power forward Thaddeus Young and center Cole Aldridge. The Trail Blazers' starting lineup has not changed, and point guard Damien Lillard, shooting guard Wesley Matthews, small forward Nicolas Batum, power forward LaMarcus Aldridge, center Robin Lopez.

The Blazers' starting lineup is very strong. At least Anxi can't see the weaknesses of the Blazers' starting lineup at a glance.

They are all capable of outside three-pointers, cuts and even mid-range. Lillard, Matthews and Batum are all super three-point shooters. LaMarcus Aldridge's mid-range is very stable. Likewise, although he is a sophomore, But Damian Lillard's breakthrough has been quite sharp.

On the defensive side, Robin Lopez provides a strong frame protection, and what is even more frightening is that the Trail Blazers have two defenders above the perimeter level, one is Wesley Matthews, and the other is Nicolas Barber. Tumu.

This starting lineup can be said to have no blind spots or weaknesses in all aspects. Judging from this starting lineup alone, this game for the 76ers will be very difficult.

At the beginning, Cole Aldridge used his better bounce to grab the ball for the first attack.

Anxi took the basketball directly from Cole Aldridge, and there was an overwhelming boo from one side of the arena. They even cursed Anxi. This group of fans were wearing tough ripped uniforms, and their bodies were full of boos. There are tattoos everywhere, and it is obvious that these fans are the most radical hooligan fans of the Trail Blazers. They were affected by the voting king incident and booed Anxi crazily.

Anxi took a deep breath and glanced at Wesley Matthews, who was defending him.

Wesley Matthews is an undrafted rookie. He entered the league in 2009 and was signed by the Utah Jazz. Then he became a member of the Jazz rotation by virtue of his active defense.

After the contract with the Jazz expired, the discerning Trail Blazers directly offered Matthews a five-year, 30 million contract. The Jazz did not want to renew, so Matthews came to the Trail Blazers and continued to grow. , averaging 16.8 points per game this season, has made significant progress on the offensive end, and has not fallen behind on the defensive end. He has quick reactions and strong stealing ability.

Therefore, Anxi's opponents in this game are still very strong.

For the first ball, Anxi chose to play in singles. He held the ball and observed the Trail Blazers' defense from the outside. In addition to Matthews guarding him, Batum and Robin Lopez were also watching eagerly.

After thinking about it for a while, Anxi immediately found the opportunity, accelerated and rushed to a position one step inside the three-point line.

Matthews retreated quickly, and Anxi stopped suddenly, preparing to take action.

Matthews was shocked and rushed over.

Anxi collected the ball, shook Wesley Matthews away, and continued to break through with the ball. Nicolas Batum made up for it, and Jae Crowder was empty and raised his hand for the ball.

Anxi didn't seem to notice it. He took a step in front of Batum and made another sudden stop.

This time, Batum hesitated. He didn't know if Anxi's emergency stop was a fake move. This hesitation gave Anxi a chance.

After the emergency stop, he took a step back and made a pull-up jump shot!

The basketball was thrown in a perfect arc and fell directly into the basket. The shot was so accurate that it didn't even touch the net.

The Moda Center (formerly known as the Rose Garden Arena) let out a huge exclamation, followed by overwhelming boos from the audience.

Anxi hit the first shot, and he was determined to kill him in this game. He showed a very good state from the beginning.

In the Trail Blazers' offense, Damian Lillard quickly controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Under the leadership of Terry Stoutes, the Trail Blazers played a quick outside ball transfer tactic, allowing the shooter to get space through outside pick-and-roll screens. Shoot.

And on the first goal of the game, they did the same thing. LaMarcus Aldridge directly pulled down the high post in the frontcourt, and he and Damian Lillard had a cross-running cooperation. McAway and Thaddeus Yang went to block Lillard, but missed Aldridge.

From the high post, the ball was within Aldridge's shooting range. He jumped slightly and directly shot a long mid-range shot.

With a bang, he hit the basket!

Come in too! The Moda Center burst into cheers of great excitement.

After scoring, Aldridge gave a high-five to Lillard, who passed the ball to him, and then rushed to the backcourt to defend.

Anxi took the ball to the frontcourt, and then called on his teammates to start running.

The ball still came to Anxi on his own, an accelerating breakthrough, Wesley Matthews stuck to Anxi, Anxi turned around, took a turn-up jumper, and shot the basketball directly before Batum could double-team him. .

With a bang, the basketball hit the backboard first, and then bounced into the basket!

Enter again! Anxi made consecutive hits and scored 4 points in a row in the opening game!

The Moda Center continued to boo Anxi. Charles Barkley couldn't stand it anymore and joked: "Anxi is about to become a public enemy in the United States. The inexplicable boos from the Moda Center are reminiscent of the sexual assault case that year. Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James after the decision, were always booed everywhere they went.”

Kenny Smith nodded: "The Blazers' boos are unreasonable, but this game is good to watch. Judging from Anxi's resolute personal attack in the opening game, he is going to explode in this game."

"Only against LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard." Charles Barkley then summed it up. On the court, the game continued.

Lillard held the ball, and there was another pick-and-roll in the frontcourt. Lillard then used his speed to pass McAway, and made a pull-up jumper from the mid-range, and hit again!

4:4, the two teams played very anxiously from the beginning. Anxi scored 4 points, while LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard each scored 2 points for the Trail Blazers. It seemed that just as Charles Barkley said, Said that in this game, Anxi will be able to fight Aldridge and Lillard on his own. (To be continued.)
