Super Role Player
Chapter 95 Continuous Changes of Direction
In the second quarter, the situation stabilized after Anxi came on the scene.
The 76ers seized the opportunity and expanded the score.
Leading the Cavaliers by 13 points at halftime.
Immediately afterwards, in the third quarter, Pau Gasol was substituted on the court again, and Gasol played as a substitute for a while.
Then the score difference gradually expanded to 20 points.
At the end of the third quarter, Anxi came on the scene, and the two stars came together. Together with the first half of the fourth quarter, the point difference was directly expanded to 25 points.
As a result, the game eventually evolved into a game without any suspense.
After the game, the 76ers beat the Cavaliers by 22 points.
Anxi scored 27 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. Pau Gasol also scored 22 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks. The two stars totaled 49 points, 13 rebounds and 15 assists. 5 steals and 4 blocks. After Pau Gasol joined, the 76ers gradually showed their strength.
Anxi didn't spend much energy to win this game, and they didn't even make a few breakthroughs in the game.
It's still the same old style of play, get the ball with your back and then create a threat.
Even so, the Cavaliers were unable to cope with the threat posed by Anxi on the offensive end.
After playing this game, Brett Brown began to think about how to formulate the team's rotation. This game against the Cavaliers still exposed many problems of the team.
Sending away Evan Turner and Thaddeus Young has indeed improved the team's strength to a certain extent, but accordingly, the team has also lost the ball-handling point of the second team. The newly joined Troy Daniels will definitely be the last one. Asik may be the starter, but he will replace Cole Aldridge. At most, Cole Aldridge will strengthen the defense of the substitute lineup, and the offensive help will be too little.
Another veteran who joined the team, Antawn Jamison, has a brilliant resume. However, after experiencing leg-hugging tours with the Lakers and Clippers, Jamison has long lost his former courage.
So, Brett Brown considered asking McAway to substitute, but then rejected the idea.
"It's not okay for Michael to be a substitute. Without Anxi, Michael won't be able to play very well. So... this is the only way..."
Brett Brown circled the roster and finally decided to rotate the main players and play with substitutes.
However, in order to fulfill the promise that everyone has a chance to squeeze into the rotation, on February 21, in the home game against the Mavericks, three new players arrived. Brett Brown repeated what he said before, and then again during the game A substantial rotation was carried out. Except for Hollis Thompson and Henry Sims, who did not perform well in the last game, all other players got playing time.
But soon, the 76ers suffered the consequences.
The Mavericks are not a bad team. Led by Dirk Nowitzki and Monta Ellis, the record is pretty good. With a record of 32 wins and 23 losses, it can only be ranked at the bottom of the playoffs in the Western Conference, but in the Eastern Conference , this record is only a little bit worse than the 76ers.
Therefore, after replacing all substitutes in the second quarter, even if Anxi and Pau Gasol were put on to take turns leading the team, the team was still defeated by the Mavericks' sharp shooting tactics from outside.
After three quarters, the 76ers were 19 points behind. No matter how Brett Brown adjusted, even if he replaced the main force directly at halftime, it would be difficult to narrow the point difference.
However, the 76ers still did not give up the game. In the fourth quarter, Brett Brown gathered all the starters: "Okay, we are now 19 points behind. This point difference can still be chased, so in the fourth quarter, we continue to start, Ann, Paul, the fourth quarter is up to you. Use your talents and talents to tie the score. In addition, James, Jay and Omer, defend well. In addition, if the ball is passed to you, open the space. If so, just score decisively!”
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Anxi continued to play.
Anxi's state in this game was average. Rick Carlisle was a wily coach. He used a double-teaming tactic against Anxi at the beginning of the first quarter, and then Anxi added breakthroughs in the second quarter.
Rick Carlisle allowed the defense to expand outside again, directly locking Anxi down through double-teaming from the outside.
Then, the 76ers fell behind by a big score at halftime, trailing by 26 points at halftime.
In the third quarter, Anxi tried its best to chase points, chasing 7 points in a single quarter, which was a bit inefficient.
So in the fourth quarter, although Anxi still had fighting spirit, it had no hope of winning this game.
The 76ers served from the backcourt and the Mavericks were already in position in the half court.
It was still the same old defense, with the defense expanding outwards. Shawn Marion cooperated with Monta Ellis to block Anxi. Anxi's dribbling was a little difficult.
Therefore, Anxi could only choose to pass the ball.
And this is also the purpose of the Mavericks. Once Anxi passes the ball and does not have the ball in hand, the threat is much smaller.
However, in the fourth quarter, under the arrangement of Brett Brown, the 76ers' offense also underwent many changes.
After Anxi passed the ball, James Anderson, who received the ball, distributed the ball again. Pau Gasol mentioned the ball in the high post. The Mavericks continued their pressing defense. They began to pile up strong sides, making it difficult for Gasol to get the ball. got up.
In the fourth quarter, the biggest change for the 76ers was that Anxi needed to play more without the ball.
Pau Gasol caught the ball in the high post, Anxi ran back to get rid of the double-team defense, and then set a cross screen with Jae Crowder. After breaking through the screen, he rushed to the mid-range on the other side and immediately received the basketball.
Anxi received the basketball, and the Mavericks immediately wanted to double-team again.
Anxi naturally refused to let it go, so they broke through directly with the ball.
96's breakthrough is still very sharp, but it has to be misfired when encountering double teams.
Shawn Marion made up for it, and Dalembert on the inside also covered it up. At this time, Anxi had a variety of options, and what the Mavericks wanted to see was Anxi passing the ball, because they had already blocked the ball through running. If the passing route near Anxi is dead, even passing the ball is just a waste of time unless Anxi moves the ball in a large area.
Anxi can naturally move the ball in a wide range, but it is easy to make mistakes when moving the ball in a wide range. James Anderson, who is open on the other side, is also running on both sides. He is somewhat hesitant to leave this position and run to the other side to receive the ball.
Therefore, Anxi was in a dilemma, and he finally chose to play singles resolutely.
Facing Marion with his back, he retreated a little to the outside.
Marion also followed, while Dalembert stayed where he was. Although he didn't follow, he was still watching Anxi holding the ball in the paint.
Anxi retreated to the outside, and there was not much time to attack.
He thought for a while and still chose to break through.
There weren't many changes. He only made a fake move on the outside, and Anxi squeezed Marion and cut in.
Dalembert had been waiting on the sidelines. Seeing Anxi break through, he immediately double-teamed over again.
At this time, Anxi's 96-point breakthrough showed its power.
While traveling at high speed, he made a sharp change of direction, shook off Shawn Marion, and then faced Dalembert.
Double defense!
Anxi still seems to be stuck in the middle distance. Everyone thinks that Anxi is going to take action, because this position is Anxi's last chance.
But in the flash of lightning, Anxi smacked the ball twice, his ankle twisted, and another change of direction!
There was an exclamation from the sidelines! They discovered that Anxi’s series of breakthroughs didn’t look like Anxi anymore!
They saw the shadow of Allen Iverson!
After the second change of direction, Anxi directly passed Dalembert with exclamations, and the rest was simple.
Get rid of Dalembert, rush inside and finish easily.
"Change of direction in high-speed movement! When did Anxi's breakthrough evolve?"
"Powerful! Anxi with a breakthrough? It's unimaginable!"
In comparison, Anxi's final layup seemed unremarkable, but the previous consecutive changes of direction really surprised everyone, including the fans on the sidelines and Brett Brown.
It's not like Brett Brown has never seen Anxi's breakthrough, but Brett Brown has never seen such a continuous change of direction in high-speed movement. Now that Anxi has used it, Brett Brown can only attribute it to, Anxi is He has long had the ability to break through and change direction, but none of his previous opponents could allow Anxi to use such a breakthrough. After all, continuous high-speed changes of direction are very harmful to the knees.
Anxi broke through and scored, and the point difference became 17 points. (To be continued.)
