Super Role Player

The Pacers' offense was also their first positional offense of the game. ?w.suimeng.lā

As the team's point guard, George Hill was once favored by the Spurs' old man, George Hill, to replace Tony Parker and become the next generation point guard of the Spurs. During that time, the rumors surrounding the Spurs were that the Spurs wanted to trade Tony Parker and strengthen George Hill. you.

However, in a subsequent trade, the Spurs unexpectedly sent away George Hill, and then acquired Kawhi Leonard, who is now gradually coming to the forefront.

George Hill, who moved to the Pacers, has gradually lost his performance and his organizational skills are average. His strengths lie in his athletic ability, scoring ability and outstanding defense.

Therefore, in the Pacers, organizational tasks are handed over to the newly emerged Lance Stephenson or Paul George. The same goes for this ball. After advancing to the frontcourt, the basketball is handed over to Lance Stephenson.

Facing Jae Crowder's defense, Lance Stephenson made a gesture and directly used the pick-and-roll to get into the three-point line. After getting out of the way of the defense, he made a mid-range jumper and missed with a bang.

Asik showed off his power inside, blocking his position and grabbing rebounds.

Immediately afterwards, the offense and defense transitioned, and the 76ers wanted to play a fast break. However, the Pacers retreated quickly enough and the attack failed.

The fast break failed, so they naturally entered the half-court position to attack and defend. The Pacers' defense was still the same, shrinking the defense and double-teaming Anxi.

Anxi fell to the bottom line at halftime and did not participate in the offense at all. They just waited at the bottom line for seven or eight seconds. After several cooperations in the frontcourt, they still could not find a chance.

Anxi was also helpless and immediately ran out from the bottom line.

Running to the outside to catch the ball, Anxi faced Paul George's single defense, and the offensive time was running out.

Therefore, this ball is considered a catch ball.

After taking the blame, Anxi didn't waste any time. He accelerated directly, squeezed Paul George and rushed inside the three-point line. Then he made an emergency stop jumper and faced Paul George before the timer turned on the red light. defense and shot the basketball.

There was a bang, but it didn't come in either.

Paul George has interfered with this ball in place, and it is normal not to score.

There was a fight in the penalty area, but Asik came out with a roar, directly grabbed the rebound, and succeeded with a putback dunk!

Just looking at the first two goals,

Omer Asik's individual performance was to suppress Roy Hibbert, the All-Star center.

Needless to say, a defensive rebound. This offensive rebound was obviously grabbed by Asik under pressure from Roy Hibbert. After grabbing it, he also completed a put-back dunk and scored 2 points.

Then, in the Pacers' offense, Lance Stephenson held the ball and tried to break through for a while, but failed. Finally, he handed the ball to Paul George, leaving Paul George six or seven seconds, so this was also a transfer. ball.

Paul George made a lateral breakthrough, and Anxi immediately made up for it.

Then, Paul George carried Anxi and rushed for two steps. Compared with Anxi, Paul George still had more time.

After taking two steps, it was time for Paul George to take action, and Anxi directly reached out to interfere.

Sure enough, Paul George rode an arrow and threw the basketball. At that moment, Anxi also stretched out his long arm and blocked the basketball with a snap.

"Block!" Reggie Miller yelled.

At the same time, the timer buzzed for 24 seconds. The Pacers ran out of time, and Anxi's block helped the 76ers get the ball.

Then, in the 76ers' offensive round, McAway held the ball.

Facing the Pacers' strict defense, Anxi played without the ball, passed through the screen several times, and finally caught the basketball. He shot directly after receiving the ball. Paul George's interference was a step slower, and with a swoosh, the basketball passed through the net frame. , the ball goes in! Anxi finally scored.

After scoring without the ball, the Pacers' defensive pressure became even greater. On the offensive end, Paul George faced Anxi's defense and hit a mid-range shot again. Omer Asik in the paint also beat Roisi again. Burt grabbed the rebound.

After grabbing the rebound, the 76ers immediately launched a fast break. McAway broke through with the ball. All the Pacers' defensive attention was focused on McAway. As a result, after McAway broke into the inside, he passed a no-look-pass directly to Anxi, who was open on the outside.

"Anxi received the basketball and no one was guarding it. This is a good opportunity!"

Anxi slowly took action after receiving the ball, wow! Three point hit!

9:2! The 76ers had a small climax in the opening game. The Pacers, who had made careful arrangements, were overwhelmed by Anxi's lack of the ball. On the contrary, their own offense was not hit at all because of Anxi's strong defense. come out.

Except for the opening fast break, the Pacers have not scored a point so far in the game.

Frank Vogel was also a little impatient. He didn't call a timeout. He stood on the sidelines and waved.

Fans and reporters who are familiar with the Pacers will understand that Frank Vogel means to let his team attack the basket more instead of shooting wantonly in the mid-range. If you think about it carefully, Lance Stephenson and Paul George fired continuously from mid-range. When the game has just begun, the shooting rate will naturally not be very high if they continuously shoot from the outside, especially when they encounter the 76ers' single defense duo on the outside. The case of Anxi and Jack Crowder.

After Frank Vogel made a signal, the Pacers' offense immediately made changes.

George Hill held the ball, hit the basket with the help of a pick-and-roll, and succeeded in a layup, finally solving the Pacers' current scoring drought.

On the 76ers' side, Anxi once again ran without the ball and then caught the ball and shot. With a bang, he missed again.

Immediately afterwards, the Pacers turned around and beat the 76ers. Lance Stephenson cut into the basket and succeeded in the throw.

The score gradually came back.

The defensive intensity of both teams at the beginning was not small. The Pacers devoted all their energy to the defense of Anxi, thus giving Pau Gasol many opportunities to perform. As for the 76ers, they faced off against the Pacers. The outside line is more of a one-on-one defense, so the Pacers soon stabilized the situation by constantly covering the basket and David West's continuous mid-range shots.

The game progressed to the second half of the first quarter, and the Pacers gradually entered the state. They were superior in strength and gradually found the long-range shooting feeling through the cooperation of outsiders Paul George and Lance Stephenson, as well as George Hill and other pitchers, and began to occupy the position. The lead on the field.

With 2 minutes left in the first quarter, Brett Brown was forced to call the first timeout of the game, because Paul George and George Hill scored two three-pointers in a row to overtake the score, 24:20, Pacers. Leading the 76ers by 4 points.

After the timeout, the two teams gradually changed into rotations, and Anxi continued to play.

The first ball after returning from the timeout, he broke through Paul George hard, hit the basket and caused a foul on Paul George, and also scored a goal.

After the extra free throw, there was still 1 point left.

With this 2+1, Anxi also increased its personal score in the first quarter to 12 points.

Anxi's efficiency was not high in the first quarter, hitting only 4 goals in 10 shots, including a three-pointer and 3 free throws.

However, his performance at critical moments still attracted praise from Reggie Miller, "Anxi's performance this season is really strong. Now it seems that he has a good chance to compete for the regular season vp trophy. The 76ers' record is not bad. Anxi's personal performance It’s even better. Combining the two, I even think that this season’s vp trophy already belongs to Anxi.”

Steve Kerr shook his head at the side, "But the media doesn't seem to be very optimistic about Anxi. As far as I know, Anxi has never been in the top five in the VP rankings launched by the NBA official website, and it was even more so in the first two months of the league. He has never been in the top ten, and has only gradually entered the top ten in the past two months, hovering at the eighth, ninth, and thirteenth positions. In comparison, Anxi's opponent in this game, Paul George, has always been in the top five. , once broke into the top three.”

Reggie Miller frowned. The vp rankings are basically the vane of regular season vp. Judging from the rankings, Anxi's ranking is indeed a bit low. It seems difficult to win the regular season vp trophy.

However, Reggie Miller looked at Anxi's personal data again. He averaged 287 points, 42 rebounds, 74 assists, 34 steals and 08 blocks per game. Plus the team's record of 41 wins and 23 losses. No matter how you look at it, Anxi is qualified to win this. vp trophy.

Compared with Paul George, Anxi's disadvantage is only the record, but regular season vp is a personal honor, and the record is up to standard. It stands to reason that it will not affect Anxi's other advantages, but the rankings of eighth, ninth and tenth are really low. Some. (If you like this work, you are welcome to vote on Qidian.
