Super Role Player

Chapter 138 What level of player is Anxi?

"Three points! Anxi!" With a whoosh, the ball went in! The DJ shouted as Anxi hit his fourth three-pointer of the game, extending the team's lead to 5 points.

In the Bobcats' offense, Cody Zeller played in the low post, attracted a double attack and then passed the ball to Biyombo, who was under the basket. Biyombo jumped up after receiving the ball and dunked successfully.

With a 3-point difference, the 76ers attacked. This time, Anxi did not get the ball again. Shaun Livingston controlled the rhythm and held the ball at the top of the key.

Anxi came out from the bottom corner and cooperated with each other at the top of the key. The Bobcats also switched defenses, and Kemba Walker directly defended Anxi.

Kemba Walker has become more and more confused about his former college teammate. Anxi has always been a defensive engineer in college. No one thought that after entering the NBA, Anxi would grow all the way and is now a long way ahead of everyone. .

Among the players who participated in the 2011 draft, the one with the best development so far is Anxi, who was picked second to last that year. Kemba Walker himself has also developed well, but now compared with Anxi, he is simply far behind.

After switching defenses, he also faced Anxi for the first time...

Anxi continued dribbling and fake moves from the outside, and soon waited for Cole Aldridge to screen. After the screen, Anxi directly took a step laterally and came to the position outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side. Kemba Walker was blocked solidly by Cole Aldridge. After Anxi moved sideways, he still had to shoot a three-pointer!

Biyombo rushed forward, but Anxi still took action. He met Biyombo's defense and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air, fell directly into the basket, and hit a three-pointer!

Seeing Anxi hit consecutive three-pointers, the 76ers fans at Wachovia Arena seemed to be going crazy. They roared and cheered loudly, and cheers came one after another. And this three-pointer was also Anxi's game. The fifth three-pointer of the game, his consecutive three-pointers, has helped the 76ers widen the point difference to 6 points.

You know, before Anxi came on the court in the second quarter, the Bobcats, led by Kemba Walker, beat the 76ers' bench 10-0. However, as soon as Anxi came on the court, he scored two three-pointers in a row. The three-pointer actually pulled the 76ers back from the near-collapse momentum, and gradually began to expand their lead. It was completely single-handedly able to reverse the situation on the court.

The 76ers fans cheered wildly, and the atmosphere reached its peak. When the Bobcats attacked, a deafening chorus of "Defense!"

Kemba Walker was hit by Anxi, and he wanted to fight back. Although he had a good relationship with Anxi, that was an off-court relationship, and tit-for-tat was still needed on the court.

So as soon as the half was passed, Kemba Walker dribbled the ball directly towards Anxi. After passing his own half, Anxi was ready early. He also took the initiative to switch to defend Kemba Walker, trying to get in the half. Before the end of the game, the score difference widened, so the team's defense must be better.

Kemba Walker dribbled the ball and flew in front of Anxi. After only making a fake move, he wanted to directly use his own speed to beat Anxi.

Obviously, Kemba Walker was impulsive. They didn't realize how strong Anxi's defense was, and they didn't realize that he was fast, but Anxi was faster.

So, Kemba Walker broke through quickly. The first time he accelerated, he was directly blocked by Anxi. Then Anxi put his chest against Kemba Walker's arm, and then reached out and grabbed a handful from Kemba Walker's hand. of basketball and want to steal.

Kemba Walker finally realized what he was doing. He quickly dodged and let Anxi's steal miss. But for Kemba Walker, the problem that followed was that he was caught in the three-point arc by Anxi. In the top position, he has wasted too much time at this time, and the team's offense has not made any progress.

"Pass! Pass!" It wasn't until there were six seconds left in the attack time that Steve Clifford reminded Kemba Walker off the court. Although the voice was completely drowned out by the chorus of 76ers fans, Ken Bavok still heard Steve Clifford's roar.

He raised his head in surprise and glanced at the timer in front of him. There really wasn't much time left!

Just when Kemba Walker wanted to pass the ball, Anxi found the opportunity, suddenly leaned forward, aimed at the basketball in Kemba Walker's hand, and slapped the basketball down!

"Steal!" This was Reggie Miller's voice, and on the court, Anxi had already cut off the basketball and started a fast break.

"Quick attack, fast attack!"

James Anderson reacted early, and together with Shaun Livingston, he rushed forward immediately.

Anxi first passed the ball to Shaun Livingston, and after Shaun Livingston reached the frontcourt, he avoided Gary Neal's defense and passed the ball to James Anderson. James Anderson succeeded in a layup. The point difference widened to 8 points.

It's not over yet. The 76ers once again defended against the Bobcats' attack. Kemba Walker continued to play alone, and Anxi also continued to defend alone. Kemba Walker broke into the paint and then stopped for a jumper. Anxi turned around and jumped high to interfere. With a bang, Ken Bavok's pull-up jumper hit the ground running.

Anxi also became interested. After Cole Aldridge grabbed the rebound, he stretched out his hand to pass the basketball and control it to the front court.

After a pick-and-roll cooperation between outside players, Anxi faced Kemba Walker on the offensive end.

"Kemba, your pull-up jump shot is too bad, look at me!"

Anxi blinked his proud eyes, then ignored Kemba Walker's reaction and accelerated past Kemba Walker.

Kemba Walker was stunned for a moment, then reacted and immediately moved sideways to outflank Anxi. The Bobcats also withdrew Cody Zeller from the inside, trying to block Anxi.

But Anxi only took one step towards the three-point line, then made a sudden stop, shook everyone away, and made a long-distance pull-up jumper for a two-pointer.

With a swish sound, the basketball hit the ball cleanly.

10 points! The point difference once again stretched to double digits, and Steve Clifford also called a timeout urgently, and then replaced Al Jefferson to strengthen the team's interior offense.

After the timeout, the 76ers also replaced Jae Crowder and Pau Gasol. Both sides have a semi-main lineup, and the core players are all on the court. It is obvious that there will be a decisive battle at the end of the second quarter.

After the main players came on the scene, the Bobcats launched a combination of internal and external offense, which stabilized the situation for a while. The scores of the two teams began to rise alternately, and the point difference was always 10 points.

With 2 and a half minutes left in the third quarter, Anxi assisted Jack Crowder and hit a three-pointer, widening the point difference by one point.

But this three-pointer seemed to use up all the 76ers' shooting touch. In the remaining 2 minutes or so, the 76ers actually failed to score a goal, allowing the Bobcats to recover some points.

Al Jefferson's explosion helped the Bobcats start chasing points. He continuously beat Cole Aldridge in the paint until with 19 seconds left in the second quarter, Al Jefferson hit a turning hook shot and the score was over. It was a 50:50 tie.

The 76ers still had the ball for the final attack, but at the end of the second quarter, they really played poorly. Brett Brown was very dissatisfied and called a timeout.

"Where did your touch go? Was it eaten by a dog?" All of a sudden, Brett Brown got angry. No wonder, in the last 2 minutes, the 76ers didn't score a point, but the Bobcats scored 11 points in a row. , equalized the score.

In fact, not only the offense but also the defense was not done well.

After Brett Brown got angry, he didn't make any specific arrangements for the last ball. He directly let the main players come on and then handed the ball to Anxi.

Anxi did not refuse, and he should indeed handle the final attack.

Anxi dribbled the ball himself past half-court, and the Bobcats were still defending him with Mikey.

After halftime, Anxi controlled the time until there were six seconds left in the game. He suddenly accelerated and rushed to the left side of Maijiji. Maijiji noticed Anxi's strong thrust. He knew that Anxi would He was preparing to use his physical advantage to break through him forcefully.

Maijiji also knew that it was obviously unrealistic to push forward forcefully. He could only find a way to entangle Anxi and interfere with Anxi when he was about to take action.

On the right side of the free throw line, Mikey continued to pester Anxi, but Anxi suddenly stopped and jumped up. Although he was afraid that Anxi was committing a foul, Mikey still jumped up and used his hands to fight. Blocking Anxi's eyes.

But under Maijiji's surprised gaze, Anxi actually began to move sideways in the air, twisting his waist and abdomen, as if changing his body, teleporting to the other side in the air, dodging Maijiji's interference.

"Buzz!"

The moment Anxi threw the basketball out, the timer buzzed for halftime. The basketball easily got into the basket and brought up a burst of white net flowers. However, Anxi could not bear the inertia and fell down. on the floor.

"The ball! It's in!"

Although it was just a buzzer-beater before halftime, Reggie Miller was still very excited and unbelievable because Anxi shot a drifting fadeaway jumper.

"Oh no! What did Anxi do? He shot a drifting fadeaway jumper! It's incredible!"

"There are many active players who can shoot in the drift, but I have only seen such a large drift like Anxi in Kobe Bryant. Now that Kobe Bryant is seriously injured, only Anxi can do this. It’s one o’clock…”

On the field, the referee signaled that the goal was valid, and the scoreboard flashed. 52:50. At halftime, the 76ers' lead was only 2 points.

In the second half, the Bobcats seemed to suddenly open up their Rendu second pulse, and suddenly became stronger. They continued their excellent form in the second quarter, constantly attacking the basket through Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson. , get the chance to score easily.

The 76ers also made timely adjustments and asked Anxi to switch to guard Kemba Walker, but Kemba Walker is not that easy to guard. In other words, Kemba Walker, who has gradually found the feeling, is difficult to completely guard.

As for the 76ers, they were confused for a while because of the Bobcats' strong attack at the beginning, but Brett Brown's timeout made timely adjustments.

But then, the Bobcats took this opportunity to bite the 76ers.

At the end of the third quarter, the two teams actually tied at 77. The Bobcats' tenacity was astonishing. No one would have thought that the Bobcats, who had lost by 26 points in the previous game, would continue to hold on in this game. score.

Even if they are hit by the 76ers for a small score, they can quickly return a small score and then recover the score.

The 76ers have been unable to widen the point difference. It seems that their performance in this game is very average, but Anxi's personal performance is still outstanding. After three quarters, Anxi has hit 7 three-pointers. According to Reggie Miller Generally speaking, Anxi's personal performance reminds people of the night in last year's finals when Anxi broke the playoff record for three-pointers made in a single game.

To this day, the record for the number of three-pointers made in a single game in the NBA playoffs is still held by Anxi. Ten, Anxi hit 7 in this game. If there are four more in the fourth quarter, he can completely break the record. record.

7 three-pointers brought Anxi 29 points in three quarters, plus 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. Anxi's personal performance was still the best in the game. Unfortunately, Anxi's performance was outstanding. , the Bobcats' performance was not bad either. Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson both showed great strength and looked unstoppable.

The game came to the winning fourth quarter.

The 76ers had a strong start, scoring 5 points in a row to take the lead, leading the Bobcats by 5 points at 82:77.

But the Bobcats are not a fuel-saving lamp. They replicated the plot of catching up after falling behind in the first three quarters. They continued to play efficient offense in the fourth quarter and closed the score to 88:91 with 5 minutes left in the game. The Bobcats were only 3 points behind.

The final five crucial minutes will determine the outcome of this game.

The Bobcats hoped to prevent this goal and then tie the score with a three-pointer, while the 76ers urgently needed a goal to ensure their lead. In this case, Anxi got the ball again.

Anxi dribbled the ball past half-court. Facing McGeeji's aggressive defense, Anxi stretched out a hand and directed the movement of his teammates, as if to open up space for him to play singles.

Therefore, Mikey defended even more seriously. He really wanted to defend against this ball. He lowered his body's center of gravity and guarded against Anxi's accelerated breakthrough at any time.

Anxi was indeed ready to break through. He quickly started dribbling under his hips and added some cross-stepping movements. Then, with a sudden change of direction, he rushed towards the inside.

However, Mike Ji's defense was not good. He saw through Anxi's fake move and moved sideways to block Anxi.

With a bang, the two collided. Fortunately, no one wanted to cause a foul by diving.

As for Anxi, being stopped by Maijiji was not a surprise. He had already planned for this.

He leaned directly against Mejiji, made a 360-degree turn, and then made another large change of direction!

This time, he completely defeated Mikey!

Rushing into the paint, Anxi directly made a pull-up jumper. Anxi also used a few pull-up jumpers in this game. The newly upgraded pull-up jumper attribute is still very comfortable to use, and it has a sense of surprise.

With a swish sound, Anxi hit another emergency jump shot. Anxi raised his hand high. After the hit, the point difference widened to 5 points.

The Bobcats' offense still relies on Kemba Walker holding the ball. In this game, Anxi also felt a bit beaten. Kemba Walker always launched the offense from outside the three-point line, using pick-and-roll screens, switching defenses, or breaking through to make an emergency stop. Jump shot, or pass to Josh McRoberts in the pick-and-roll for further offensive support, or to end the offense.

But this time, it was still the same routine. Josh McRoberts, who had certain support ability from the outside, pulled up to the high post. After a high pick-and-roll screen, Josh McRoberts immediately followed down and then raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Because it seems that Anxi has blocked Kemba Walker and let go of Josh McRoberts.

Kemba Walker didn't hesitate and lobbed the ball directly into the paint. Josh McRoberts got the basketball and Omer Asik quickly went to make up the ball.

At this time, Mikey found a good opportunity and cut into the basket with his bare hands.

Josh McRoberts made a deft return pass, and the basketball was immediately in McGee's hands.

Mikey jumped up one meter in front of the basket, pulled up his whole body, and was ready for a dunk! It looks very powerful and scary.

But at this time, Anxi had already come to the basket. He came to defend. His keen sense of smell made Anxi speed up. Finally, at the moment when McGee was about to dunk, a big hand pressed hard on the basketball. superior!

With a bang, the huge impact directly knocked the basketball away!

Big hat! This is an absolute hat!

Although Al Jefferson quickly raised his hand to signal that it was a foul, the referee saw clearly that this was definitely not a foul, it was a very clean block!

Anxi's block made the basketball fly out of the sideline. The Bobcats still had the ball, but they needed to reorganize their offense.

After reorganizing the offense, time was running out. Kemba Walker's hasty outside shot missed due to Anxi's interference.

Pau Gasol inside grabbed the rebound and the 76ers continued to attack...

At the end of the fourth quarter, Anxi broke out, first hitting a pull-up jumper, then blocking Mikey, and then hitting a three-pointer, widening the point difference to 8 points.

Finally, in the 49 seconds before the end of the game, Anxi hit his ninth three-pointer of the game, widening the point difference to 10 points and sealing the victory.

In the end, the 76ers defeated the Bobcats 115:105 at home with a 10-point difference due to the explosion of Anxi. The total score in the first round was 2:0. In this game, Anxi, who performed best, scored 44 points alone in the fourth quarter. Scored 15 points to help the 76ers win this somewhat difficult game.

In addition to scoring, Anxi also got 4 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. The only pity is that Anxi only hit 9 three-pointers and almost broke his own playoff single game record again. Three points recorded.

After the game, before the game, Mcaway was once the protagonist, but as the game progressed, the Bobcats' tenacity and Anxi once again stood up and told everyone that in Philadelphia, in Wachovia, In the museum, the only protagonist can only be Anxi himself!

"Anxi scored 44 points, assisted in double figures, and had 3 steals and 2 blocks. His performance was as outstanding and critical as ever. If he scored 66 points in the regular season, it would be a key step for Anxi to become a superstar. If so, then the 44 points in this game have already declared that Anxi is the new generation of superstar in the league." After the game, Reggie Miller expressed his views on Anxi.

"Anxi is still very young. He has not yet reached the age of 26. For Anxi, he still has a bright future. Maybe we should consider Anxi's historical status. He is now a shooting guard. I think if If Anxi develops smoothly, he will definitely surpass me in the ranking of historical shooting guards..."

Reggie Miller's words caused a certain degree of surprise in North America. You must know that the older generation of stars have the kind of character that refuses to obey anyone. Reggie Miller even dissatisfied with Michael Jordan, but he now believes that Anxi can surpass him. On my own, this is quite bizarre.

Is Reggie Miller dreaming? Is he talking in his sleep? Obviously not, obviously, it was Anxi's performance that impressed Reggie Miller...

Also because of Reggie Miller's words, the NBA has discussed Anxi more.

In the first two games of the playoffs led by himself, Anxi averaged 35.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 12.5 assists, 3.5 steals and 2.0 blocks per game. The team won both games. The first game was a big victory, but the second game was a big win. It was a bit thrilling, but the 76ers still won the game with Anxi's explosion.

As a result, the discussion about what level of player Anxi is has begun to heat up in North America.
