Anxi made 5 of 11 shots in the first quarter and scored 14 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. His performance was pretty good. However, his opponent Paul George also made 5 of 10 shots and scored 12 points. He also had 4 rebounds and 3 steals. Assists, the two were evenly matched in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the two teams continued to replace their substitute lineups. On the 76ers' side, McAway and Pau Gasol partnered to lead substitutes James Anderson, Francisco Garcia and Cole Aldridge. The Pacers also substituted Paul George, led by Lance Stephenson with backups Andrew Bynum, Danny Granger, Luis Scola and Donald Sloan.

The Pacers' lineup in the second quarter was almost a problem lineup. Lance Stephenson and Andrew Bynum were both troubled youths. Among them, Andrew Bynum had just been traded to the Bulls by the Cavaliers and was immediately waived. The Pacers, who aimed to take away the Heat's dominance in the Eastern Conference, chose to sign Andrew Bynum to continue to strengthen the team's internal strength.

The last game against the Celtics was Andrew Bynum's debut with the Pacers. Bynum scored 11 points, 10 rebounds and 1 block. He performed well and seemed to fit perfectly into the Pacers' system and lineup. .

However, Brett Brown believes that Bynum was able to perform well in the game against the Celtics because the Celtics were too short inside. Bynum still played as a substitute in this game, facing a team full of players. The dynamic Cole Aldridge was then silenced by Cole Aldridge.

The bench lineups of both teams were not very good. They hit the ball continuously at the beginning, but the rebounds were continuously picked off by Cole Aldridge. As a result, the 76ers took the advantage on the court.

Frank Vogel had to replace Andrew Bynum, who had average performance, and replaced him with David West, and the Pacers gradually recovered their disadvantage.

The game reached the seventh minute of the second quarter. The two teams were tied at 36:36. The 76ers had the ball. Brett Brown walked to the sidelines and called a timeout. Taking advantage of the timeout, the two teams replaced their main players. .

For the 76ers, Anxi came on the field to replace McAway. The other positions remained unchanged. The shooting guard was still James Anderson, the small forward Francisco Garcia, and the inside was the partner of Pau Gasol and Cole Aldridge.

On the Pacers' side, Paul George reappeared and replaced Lance Stephenson. In addition, the Pacers also replaced George Hill, and the lineup became point guard George Hill and shooting guard. Danny Granger, small forward Paul George, interior David West and Luis Scola.

After Anxi returned to the field, he still faced Paul George on the defensive end, although he was playing the point guard position at this time.

The advantage of Anxi playing point guard for the 76ers is that the distribution of ball rights will not be too complicated. They can play some simple offense and defense. For example, Anxi directly breaks through to attract defensive points, or Anxi holds the ball and uses a screen to break through to the basket. etc.

Anxi did exactly this on this shot. He broke through with the help of a screen, threw away Paul George in one stride, rushed into the three-point line, made another emergency jump shot, and quickly threw the basketball.

Without any interference, Anxi's hit rate is still quite high.

With a swish sound, the basketball entered the frame, the score became 38:36, and the game continued.

In the Pacers' offense, Paul George also wanted to hit Anxi with a ball, so he turned around and hit Anxi with a back-up shot. His turnaround jump shot was interfered with by Anxi.

In terms of offensive ability alone, Paul George is still not as good as Anxi.

Inside, Cole Aldridge grabbed the rebound. After Anxi took the basketball, he continued to press forward.

Continuing to face Paul George's single defense, Anxi made a quick breakthrough, attracted the defense and quickly distributed the ball. The ball passed to the hands of Pau Gasol on the other side. Pau Gasol scored again, and James Anderson in the bottom corner received the ball in an open position. The ball hit a three-pointer with a bang.

At 41:36, the 76ers widened the point difference.

Back in the Pacers' attack time, Frank Vogel once again stood on the sidelines and made a gesture, and Paul George no longer played alone.

In fact, the current lineup of the Pacers is a lineup with full offensive power. The inside duo are all power forwards with singles ability. Although Danny Granger has plummeted due to injury, his three-point ability is still there. George Hill also has a strong fixed-point shooting ability.

Obviously, the correct way for the Pacers to play is to pass the ball more. After all, their current lineup is a lineup where everyone can score. Passing can create threats, and passing can score easily.

Paul George broke through and scored, David West singled inside, attracted the defense and then scored again. George Hill on the other side scored empty-handed, received the ball and scored a layup. At 41:38, the point difference narrowed by 3 points.

Immediately afterwards, the 76ers made an offensive error. Anxi's pass passed to Luis Scola's legs. George Hill, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the basketball and immediately launched a fast break.

There was another counterattack. Paul George faced James Anderson's defense and hit a high throw.

At 41:40, the point difference was only 1 point.

The 76ers' offense stabilized. After Anxi controlled the ball for a while, he made another breakthrough, rushed into the three-point line, faced Paul George and made a fadeaway jumper directly, and hit the ball with a bang.

A smooth fadeaway jumper. After the shot hit, Anxi clenched his fist, celebrated a little, and turned back to defend.

The two teams still played very fiercely, with the point difference going back and forth. Soon the game came to the last 2 minutes of the third quarter, and the score was still very anxious. Paul George hit a two-point long shot to tie the score at 52: 52 square meters.

Then, when the 76ers attacked, Anxi held the ball from the outside. After a screen, the player defending Anxi became David West. He hit David West and then accelerated directly to pass. Luis Scola on the other side quickly made up for it.

While Anxi continued to break through, he quickly lifted the ball and passed it out.

Cole Aldridge, who was waiting for the ball under the basket, waited for the basketball. The basketball flew right into his hands. After getting the basketball, Cole Aldridge directly pulled it up and dunked the basketball into the basket with a bang. basket.

At 54:52, the 76ers continued to lead.

Looking back, the Pacers played a quick attack. After a simple cooperation from outside the three-point line, Paul George dodged Anxi's defense and shot directly. The basketball bounced off the rim with a bang and bounced directly out.

The 76ers continued to have the advantage inside, and Pau Gasol grabbed the rebound.

Anxi received a pass from Pau Gasol. This time he did not rush to attack. This ball was a good opportunity to widen the point difference. Anxi decided to play patiently.

After controlling the frontcourt, Anxi made a gesture and Pau Gasol pulled out from the inside. Anxi immediately passed the ball to Pau Gasol and started a high-post support tactic.

Anxi, who was without the ball, immediately started running, and a reverse run went around the baseline, continuing to attract Paul George's marking.

However, Anxi's running failed to bring excellent opportunities to his teammates. He looked for opportunities from the outside for seven or eight seconds. Seeing that time was running out, the basketball once again returned to Anxi's hands in the low post.

Anxi played Paul George in the low post. After two hits, he turned around and tried to shoot.

Paul George stuck close to Anxi and reached out to interfere, but Anxi made a fake move. Suddenly he changed hands and shot with his right hand. In an instant, it was replaced by a left hook. Paul George, who could not stop the car, also directly hit Anxi's right hand. .

"Beep!" The referee's sharp whistle sounded, and at the same time, Anxi made a left-hand hook shot.

The basketball made a big circle in the air, and finally got into the basket with a swish sound.

The ball goes in! Anxi scored 2+1! Fans at the Conseco Arena began to hold their heads and sigh. Anxi was too strong. Several consecutive singles goals showed the gap in personal ability between Paul George and Anxi. Obviously, Anxi is the better superstar.

Anxi went to the free throw line and completed the extra penalty despite boos.

The extra penalty was also hit. Anxi successfully scored 3 points, and the point difference widened to 5 points.

There are 48 seconds left in the second quarter. If 24 seconds are played, both teams will still have one attack time.

But the Pacers didn't think so. They controlled the time a little, and with 35 seconds left in the game, Paul George assisted David West and hit a half-ball.

In this way, there are only 35 seconds left in the second quarter. Unless the 76ers make a quick attack, the Pacers will have one more attack anyway.
