Super Role Player

In the second half, the Heat worked hard and finally won the game.

The 76ers were not to be outdone. They originally had a 10-point advantage. In the second half, they were even more stable and continued to expand their lead. In the end, they defeated the Grizzlies 117:95 and also won.

With 53 wins and 25 losses, the regular season records of the 76ers and the Heat are still the same, but it is the Heat who should be anxious at this time, because relying on their mutual record advantages, the 76ers are ranked ahead of the Heat.

There are four games left in the season, and the Heat and the 76ers have a direct duel. The North American media believes that the Heat's last chance is that game.

At the end of the season, Anxi and his teammates were still conducting three-on-five defensive training, and there was a roar of cheers in the training hall.

"Defend, defend!"

"Pass the ball!"

Just like the previous times, the five-man group of McCaw, James Anderson, Troy Daniels, Francisco Garcia and Pau Gasol, and the three-man group of Anxi, Jae Crowder and Omer Asik.

They have been practicing three-on-five for almost a month. The trio occasionally succeeded in defending once, but the effect seemed to be average. However, Anxi still did not give up training. He felt that this kind of three-on-five training was very effective in building the team's defensive system. , although the effect has not been very obvious until now, the 76ers' defense is still unstable and can be easily beaten.

On the field, McAway passed the ball to Francisco Garcia. For the first time, Jack Crowder blocked Garcia.

Garcia made a breakthrough and passed the ball again to Troy Daniels, and Anxi rushed over.

On the third pass, Jack Crowder moved one step ahead and directly blocked James Anderson who was receiving the ball.

It looked like he was about to succeed. Anxi looked happy, but James Anderson didn't stick to the ball at all. After getting the ball, he immediately passed it out. McAwee took the ball again, hit the inside, faced Asik's defense, and hit the ball. Pass to assist Pau Gasol to score.

With five passes, the five-man offense narrowly won the game.

After winning the game, James Anderson breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Ann, you lost again."

Anxi shook his head. It was normal to lose. It would be strange not to lose. With five passes, as long as the offensive team planned well, they could always open up space for shooting.

Occasionally, when the defense team wins, it is because they are so lucky. Anxi and Jack Crowder happened to block all shooting points from the outside. For example, this time, Jack Crowder moved early, which almost caused the offense team to lose.

If James Anderson hadn't passed the ball without sticking, catching Anxi and Jack Crowder off guard, perhaps the defensive team would have succeeded this time.

The three-on-five practice was conducted by Anxi during their lunch break, so the other players either sat on the sidelines and watched the three-on-five game, or sat aside to rest.

After playing a three-on-five game, Anxi and the others also chose to rest. There was another match in the afternoon. If they continued to practice, they would not play in the afternoon match.

The Chinese people are rich in mobile phone users, and the United States is actually the same. As soon as they sit down to rest, everyone is too lazy to chat and takes out their mobile phones to scroll through Twitter.

Anxi was scrolling through Twitter and found many people. Aite himself frowned and clicked on it. It turned out that the latest issue of mVp rankings had been released. This issue of mVp rankings was also the last issue of the season. .

"An, look, the latest mVp ranking list on the nBa official website, you are ranked second!"

Teammates also received this news. In the latest mVp ranking list on the nBa official website, Anxi finally entered the top five, and directly surpassed Chris Paul, James Harden, LeBron James and Paul George, directly ranking in Du. Behind Rand, he came in second place.

The nBa official website’s evaluation of Anxi is – “Averaging less than 30 points per game, ranking in the top five in assists in the league, and ranking first in the league in steals, Anxi’s personal performance is extremely outstanding, and the team’s record is also quite perfect. This season Anxi will He is a strong contender for mVp in the regular season.

"

"Are you going to directly change the situation to praise and kill?" A question mark was written on An Xi's face.

In the past, Anxi was not allowed to enter the top five, but now he is directly ranked second, ahead of LeBron James. Anxi is speechless and pained. Now he can only say, fortunately, the reporter from the NBA official website He was not allowed to sit on the top spot, otherwise the media in Oklahoma City and Miami would collectively attack Anxi.

The teammates smiled and praised Anxi one by one. McAway believed that there was nothing wrong with Anxi being ranked second!

The original words are as follows: "An, I think the NBA official website suddenly realized that they ignored you, and then thought about it and found the most reasonable position for you to insert."

Jae Crowder also echoed: "Yes, there is no problem in ranking second. In terms of personal performance this season, the only one who has outstanding personal performance this season is Kevin Durant, right?"

"You're right."

"Jay's right."

Anxi looked at these natural teammates and was speechless for a while.

However, Anxi himself feels that there must be nothing wrong with him being ranked second. Anxi's personal data is better than James. Originally his record was slightly worse than the Heat, but now he has caught up. Isn't it normal to be ranked higher than James?

In the last few games of the season, Anxi and his team won consecutively. In order to surpass the Heat in the rankings, they were simply unwilling to let go of a victory.

First, they defeated the Bobcats in an away game, and then went hand in hand with the Heat, who defeated the Wizards.

Then they defeated the Bulls at home, and the Heat also defeated the Hawks.

In the penultimate game, after the 76ers defeated the Celtics at home, they were waiting for the result of the game between the Heat and the Pistons.

On the same day, Abby Hornacek also returned from Phoenix.

Because the Suns had been eliminated one game in advance and the Mavericks made it to the playoffs at the last minute, there was no playoffs to play in. Jeff Hornacek thought about it and stopped staying in Phoenix and flew with his family. Arrived in Philadelphia.

On the one hand, her daughter is pregnant and needs to rest. It is best to stay with her son-in-law Anxi at this time.

On the other hand, Jeff Hornacek felt that since he couldn't play in the playoffs, he might as well come to Philadelphia and cheer for Anxi.

So, Jeff Hornacek came, and Abby came back with him.

Anxi found a few laborers to move the large bags of luggage upstairs, and then watched Mrs. Hornacek and Abby pack their luggage and put things where they should be.

Anxi and Jeff Hornacek stood bored, so they walked aside and started chatting.

"Ann, do you and Abby have any plans to get married?"

Abby has been pregnant for more than a month, but the two have not mentioned getting married. Although there are many examples of people having children without getting married in the United States, and Jeff Hornacek doesn't care about getting married, but if Anxi has this plan, Jeff Hornacek also has to make good preparations, such as inviting a few old NBA teammates and friends to attend the wedding.

Anxi nodded: "Well, actually I have such a plan, but I have to play games in the regular season and playoffs. It would be too hasty to prepare for the wedding at this time, so I am going to wait for the end of the season to make preparations, or next year Get married, or get married this offseason."

Jeff Hornacek was relieved. He smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it himself. He knew Anxi didn't smoke.

"An, the next game is the last battle between you and the Heat. I heard that you are going to compete for second place in the Eastern Conference?"

Anxi nodded again: "Well, it seems that if we make it to the second round, our opponent will definitely be Miami, so grabbing the second spot in the Eastern Conference can help us win the home court advantage."

Jeff Hornacek blew out the smoke out the window, and then explained with a smile: "Abby is pregnant, and I don't even dare to smoke anymore."

"Let's fight. I think it will be difficult for you to beat the Heat in the playoffs. It would be good to have three kills in the regular season." Jeff Hornacek's last sentence was a bit unpredictive of the 76ers and Heat's playoff prospects. Match duel.

"Why?" Anxi was a little surprised. The game hadn't started yet, not to mention that the 76ers had an advantage over the Heat in the regular season.

"You have a problem with your lineup." Jeff Hornacek said vaguely.

Anxi wanted to ask what the problem was, but Jeff Hornacek didn't say anything. He just said: "Actually, I'm not sure. Let's wait until you face the Heat in the playoffs. If something like that really happens, I will help you analyze the situation." 8
