Super Role Player

On March 10, the 76ers continued their away game. This time, they returned from the West to the East and faced the New York Knicks away from home. ｛ щww{suimеng][lā}

After trading for Tony Roten, the Knicks' record recovered somewhat, but they still lost against the 76ers who had high morale after winning the Jazz.

Anxi performed well and tasted the sweetness of the previous game. In this game, they continued to hit the inside. They got 9 free throws and made all 9 free throws. In addition, Anxi made 8 of 14 shots. Anxi used a very low shot in exchange for He scored a high score of 27 points, plus 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, leading the team to easily defeat the Knicks 123:100.

After two consecutive victories, the 76ers gradually entered the state.

But next, the 76ers will face a strong enemy in the East, the Indiana Pacers, currently ranked first in the East.

It's still an away game, and it's back-to-back, so no one is optimistic that the 76ers can win. The impact of back-to-back games is huge, but Anxi doesn't have this feeling. He played too easily in the last game, and Anxi didn't even No matter how hard they exert their strength, the Knicks will lose.

Therefore, in an interview with reporters before the game, Anxi said quite relaxedly, "The Pacers are indeed a strong opponent, but the same thing is said in other words. In comparison, we are also a strong opponent against the Pacers, so this game It's going to be a great game, the Pacers have a chance to win, and we certainly have a chance."

And Brett Brown directly started talking about tactics, "Frank Vogel is a good coach. I guess he will use the defensive tactic of shrinking the inside to deal with us in this game, because An's breakthrough state was so good during this period, Vogel Coach Geer will definitely make targeted arrangements, but we are not afraid of such targeted arrangements because we will also change our tactics. Anxi has a strong breakthrough, but at the same time he is also an excellent shooter..."

It seems that Brett Brown has leaked all the team's tactical changes, but in fact this is Brett Brown's deliberate move, and he is setting off smoke bombs.

Frank Vogel is not a fool. He naturally understands that Brett Brown is tempting him to make wrong tactical arrangements. Therefore, before the game starts, he does not make many changes to the team's tactics. He just tells Paul George to play the game. We should pay attention to the defense of Anxi.

Frank Vogel didn't make many changes because of Anxi. Of course, he also has the confidence. The Pacers' defensive system is already very complete. Roy Hibbert on the inside is the gate of the penalty area, and Paul George on the outside is and George Hill are both players with strong individual defense capabilities.

In this game, Frank Vogel is going to hand over Anxi to Paul George for single defense. On the one hand, he has confidence in Paul George's defense. On the other hand, Frank Vogel thinks very simply. Anxi is the star of the 76ers. ,

Paul George is the star of the Pacers. Even if Paul George can't guard Anxi, the worst they can do is fight each other. The Pacers have a more complete system and better players, and the Pacers will win in the end.

As the evening approached, the Conseco Arena was already in full swing. Pacers fans waved their towels, cheering cards and mobile phones, cheering to welcome the Pacers and 76ers on stage.

Indiana is the state with the best basketball atmosphere in the United States. There are too many talented NBA players from the high school league here. The crazy Indiana championship is the best high school league in the United States. Mike Conley, Greg Oden, Gordon Hayward all came out of this tournament.

Also because of the popularity of the high school league, the Pacers have a group of crazy fans in this land.

After the 76ers came out, a group of fanatical Hoosiers in the back row of the arena, wearing Indiana's unique clothing, made a weird cry of "woowoowoo", causing whistles in the arena.

In terms of atmosphere alone, Conseco Arena is comparable to the Devil's home stadium of the Jazz.

Anxi walked to the sidelines, adjusted his jersey, and then hugged Paul George and chatted for a few words.

This was the first meeting between Anxi and Paul George after the All-Star Game. The two naturally said a few harsh words, and then each greeted his teammates to come out.

The 76ers' starting lineup has not changed much. The current two-game winning streak proves that their tactical integration is basically in place. Naturally, the team's starting lineup will not change much. Point guard McAway, shooting guard Anxi, Small forward Jae Crowder, power forward Pau Gasol and center Omer Asik.

The Pacers' starting lineup has also remained unchanged, with double guards George Hill and Lance Stephenson, small forward Paul George, power forward David West and center Roy Hibbert.

Turner Sports temporarily adjusted the number of national live broadcasts, listing this matchup between the first and third in the East as a national live broadcast, and sent Reggie Miller and Steve Kerr to commentate on the game.

Returning to Conseco, Reggie Miller also received some welcome. As the greatest star in the history of the Pacers, although he did not leave even a championship trophy for the team, Reggie Miller still relied on his unyielding His fighting spirit and tenacious fighting spirit have won the love of Indiana people.

However, when he returned to Conseco Arena, Reggie Miller came as a commentator. He also acted very neutral and fair. When commenting on the starting lineups of the two teams at the beginning, Reggie Miller actually believed that the 76ers had a better chance of winning. The victory of the game.

"After the 76ers acquired Pau Gasol and Omer Asik, the team's internal strength has been greatly strengthened. On the contrary, on the Pacers' side, Roy Hibbert's performance has been good and bad this season, and David Way Steve is old, so the 76ers have an advantage in the paint."

"In this game, Brett Brown is likely to adopt a strategy of attacking the inside. Before the game, the so-called Anxi will let the Pacers shrink the inside, but Frank Vogel should not forget that Anxi is also a top shooter. The remarks are actually just a smoke bomb. If the Pacers want to win, they must shrink the inside line. If they expand their defense outside, the Pacers' inside line will be defeated by Anxi's breakthrough and the strong attacks of Pau Gasol and Omer Asik. of."

Frank Vogel will naturally not be fooled. In this game, the Pacers did a relatively good job of defending the interior.

After the opening jump ball, Asik won the jump ball, and McAwee advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. Anxi dropped to the baseline and ran empty-handed. The Pacers immediately retracted inside, not giving Anxi enough space.

However, Anxi still got the ball, ran out to catch the ball, and cut in with the ball.

But obviously, Anxi still underestimated the Pacers' determination to double-team him. After the breakthrough, he was immediately double-teamed. After the double-team, Anxi immediately chose to pass the ball. The intention of the pass was too obvious, and Paul George jumped up and intercepted it. , giving Anxi a mistake at the beginning.

After stealing the ball, the Pacers directly launched a fast break counterattack. Paul George and George Hill held the ball and went down quickly. After passing the ball in the frontcourt, George Hill succeeded in a layup and scored the first goal in the opening game!

After the Pacers launched a fast break, the Conseco Arena immediately burst into cheers one after another, each one getting louder and louder, gradually making the entire Conseco Arena tremble.

After scoring in the opening fast break counterattack, Paul George and George Hill clapped hands, and then stood next to Anxi again. Frank Vogel crossed his arms. This opening goal has basically proved that his defensive arrangement is effective. .

For the 76ers, although they were counterattacked by the Pacers at the beginning, they were still not impatient. This time Anxi still held the ball, and then faced Paul George's outside defense.

Paul George's defense was very good. He opened his long arms and stood in front of Anxi. Anxi made several fake moves in succession, but his body's center of gravity did not change, so Paul George did not move with him. He seemed to have seen through Anxi's fake moves. action.

Anxi made a gesture, and Pau Gasol pulled out the pick-and-roll.

Anxi swatted the ball, then accelerated to the free throw line. David West quickly took a step sideways, let go of Pau Gasol, surrounded Anxi, and cooperated with Paul George to cover Anxi. dumpling.

Another double-team!

This time, after Anxi encountered a double-team, the pass was passed in time. The moment Paul George posted on Anxi, Anxi quickly passed the basketball into the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Jae Crowder, who was cutting from the air, took a big step and directly caught the basketball. Lance Stephenson, who was following him, was confused in his footsteps and was directly thrown away by Jae Crowder's acceleration. Then, I saw Jack Crowder facing Roy Hibbert's defense, taking off, twisting his waist in the air and squeezing Roy Hibbert away, splaying his arms, and slamming the basketball into the basket.

There was a loud bang! Jae Crowder completed a dunk!

Although the fans on the sidelines did not cheer, the whistles coming from the court proved that this dunk was beautiful!

"Jack Crowder's dunk! Beautiful! Anxi completed an assist!" Reggie Miller exclaimed, and then mentioned Anxi. "However, the Pacers' strict defense against Anxi is already evident. In this game, Anxi will face unprecedented challenges."

On the other side, CCTV, which also broadcast the game live, focused not on the defense suffered by Anxi, but on Jae Crowder's dunk.

"Jay Crowder's dunk was awesome. This ball is almost one of the top five today, right?"

"Maybe, it's a dunk after all."

"I didn't expect Claude's physical fitness to be so strong..."

In this game, the two commentators of CCTV were Sun Zhenping and Xu Jicheng. Their explanations made the fans in front of the TV feel helpless. However, Tencent Sports did not broadcast the game live, so they could only listen to the two veteran commentators. member’s explanation.

The 76ers returned a goal to the Pacers. Jae Crowder dunked from behind, and the score was tied at 2:2. (If you like this work, you are welcome to vote on Qidian. Your support is my biggest motivation.
