Super Role Player

"Anxi is so strong. This game is another 40+ score, and it's 40+ in three quarters. The assists are in double figures. The efficiency is off the charts!" Amy Johnson lamented the strength of Anxi.

On the sidelines, after the game, James Harden was being interviewed by reporters.

"Yes, I performed very poorly in this game. I don't want to find any excuse. I will definitely come back in the next game."

"An? He did a great job. He is a very strong opponent. I did not play well in this game, but that does not mean that I am not as good as him."

"Yes, I played poorly in this direct duel, but there are other reasons for that. I don't want to say more..."

"MVP rankings? An should indeed be in the top five."

"Myself? I refuse to answer this question..."

James Harden was a little bit tough. Faced with repeated questions from reporters, James Harden still believed that he and Anxi were equally powerful opponents. He also admitted that Anxi should be among the top five in the MVP rankings, but he was fourth in the MVP rankings. The location is not mentioned at all.

Anxi also answered a few questions in the visiting team's locker room, and then prepared to leave the arena.

Walking outside the locker room door, Evan Turner happened to come over and stopped Anxi: "Anxi, are you leaving Houston tonight?"

Anxi stopped and shook his head: "We will stay in Houston to rest for one night."

"Let's go then, let's go out and have a good time." Evan Turner pulled Anxi and left. Anxi didn't show any pretense. It was appropriate to meet old teammates and go out for a party.

Anxi said hello to the team's coach, and then got into Turner's car in the Toyota Center parking lot. In addition to Anxi, McAway and James Anderson also came with him, and the four of them appeared on the streets of Houston. , finally found a bar and sat in.

The four people chatted for a while, and Evan Turner mentioned the current situation of the 76ers.

"An, do you have a chance to compete for the O'Brien Cup this season?"

Anxi naturally nodded. Since Pau Gasol joined the 76ers, the 76ers' goal has become to compete for the championship.

"You also have a chance. Although the Rockets are in the Western Conference, they are at least a top-ranked team." Anxi also sighed. After Evan Turner transferred, his situation did not change at all, but so did the Rockets who joined. A strong team, Evan Turner has a chance to compete for a championship with the Rockets.

But after Anxi said this, Evan Turner shook his head: "The Rockets have no hope. James and Dwight lead the team. How strong do you think they can be?"

Anxi stopped talking, and like a novice, McAway asked why.

Anxi didn't explain, and neither did Evan Turner. Instead, James Anderson explained: "Neither Dwight Howard nor James Harden are good leaders. The playoffs are tough battles, and the Rockets can't go far."

"Okay, let's not talk about this topic anymore, let's talk about recent movies..."

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Anxi interrupted James Anderson and changed the topic.

…

In the colorful night of Houston, it was already late at night. Anxi stopped Evan Turner and refused to let him drive after drinking. He sat in the driver's seat without drinking and sent Evan Turner home first.

"Evan, I drove the car to the hotel. You can find time to pick it up tomorrow."

Before leaving, Anxi looked at Evan Turner and said one last thing.

"Evan, don't say anything else. If you are willing to come back, I will ask Sam to leave a place for you forever."

"If you come back, we will fight for the O'Brien Cup together."

When Evan Turner was sent to Houston, Anxi thought it was an opportunity for Turner, so he didn't think much about it or stop it. But now, looking at it, sending Evan Turner away, although it allowed the 76ers to get a qualified ’s starting center,

But for Evan Turner himself, he undoubtedly went to a team with fewer opportunities.

James Harden likes to take over, and at the third position, the Rockets also have Chandler Parsons, a small forward who looks promising, so Turner has very few opportunities, even less than when he was with the 76ers. Want less.

Now the 76ers also need a player who can lead the second team to play. If Evan Turner does not renew his contract with the Rockets after his contract expires, returning to the 76ers will naturally be the best.

…

After defeating the Spurs and Rockets on the road, the 76ers ushered in a 12-game winning streak, and their record reached 51 wins and 23 losses. On the same night, the Heat played against the Raptors in an away game, but lost 83:93.

DeAndre Jordan scored 20 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks. In the interior alone, the 76ers were blown away by the Clippers. dross.

This defeat shows that the 76ers still have problems. The inside combination of Pau Gasol and Omer Asik looks good, but in fact it is too slow and can easily be defeated by such a dynamic inside line, such as this one. DeAndre Jordan and Blake Griffin on the court.
