Super Role Player

Charlotte, this small city in North Carolina, because of the presence of Michael Jordan, the Bobcats can exist here.

For his hometown team, Michael Jordan spared no effort to support his hometown team. Although he failed several times, the overall goal was to allow the Bobcats to have a year-round competitiveness. Therefore, he signed Al Jefferson this season, plus With the growth of Kemba Walker, they once again made the playoffs.

However, the two losses in Philadelphia in the playoffs made them understand that the Bobcats may only be as strong as making the playoffs. Facing the 76ers, their gap is still all-round.

So at Time Warner Arena, this game, which was the most critical battle for the Bobcats, began quickly.

Michael Jordan did not go to the away games, but he came to the home games and sat on the sidelines to watch the games.

Before the game started, Michael Jordan whispered a few words in Kemba Walker's ear, and then after the game started, many people began to notice the difference between Kemba Walker and the previous two games.

"Kemba Walker! He once again rushed into the 76ers' interior. He seemed to be very determined! No one can stop him!"

This was the resolute play of Kemba Walker at the beginning of the game. Later, Turner Sports commentator Mike Breen continued to exclaim, because after consecutive breakthroughs and scoring, Kemba Walker became hot and scored from outside the three-point line. , he also opened fire.

"Three-pointer! Kemba Walker's first three-pointer of the game! The 76ers can't guard him at all!"

"Another three-pointer! The 20th point of the game! The first quarter is not over yet! Kemba Walker broke out! Is he going to defeat the 76ers on his own?"

As the commentator of this game, Mike Breen, continued to exclaim, at the end of the first quarter, Kemba Walker scored 22 points in the first quarter, single-handedly leading the Bobcats 33:25 in the first quarter, leading the 76ers by 8 points.

After the first quarter, Kemba Walker dragged his tired steps off the court. Michael Jordan walked up and patted Kemba Walker's butt, and then said something in Kemba Walker's ear.

This scene happened once before the game started, so McBrin couldn't help but speculate. He always felt that Kemba Walker's style of play in this game was guided by Michael Jordan.

Sure enough, after Michael Jordan whispered, Kemba Walker chose to continue playing in the second quarter. He made a sudden shot at the beginning and scored 9 points, extending the Bobcats' lead to 15 points.

The game ended at halftime,

Kemba Walker scored another 15 points in the second quarter and 37 points at halftime, a complete explosion...

Also because of Kemba Walker's 37 points, at halftime, the Bobcats led the 76ers by 18 points 70:52.

"The God of Basketball has shown his power. Although he has retired a long time ago, he can still influence the players on his team, Kemba Walker. Maybe this game will be his battle to become a god! This Anxi University teammate , and perhaps will rely on this game to move towards the road of superstardom..."

On the 76ers side, listening to the crazy cheers of the Charlotte fans, Anxi walked into the locker room and sat down on the bench.

The door to the locker room was closed, finally blocking out the disturbing cheers.

At halftime, the 76ers were not going well. Not only were they trailing the Bobcats by 18 points at halftime, they also allowed Kemba Walker to score 37 points. They were about to step on the corpses of the 76ers and walk towards the throne.

Although Anxi still performed well, scoring 14 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists at halftime, there was still a gap compared to Kemba Walker, and the team's lag was real. Anxi took a look at this game and was beaten by Kemba Walker. A little confused, McAway shook his head.

McAway's defense has always been a big problem. It seems that if you want to turn defeat into a victory in this game, you have to make some changes.

"Coach, let me guard Kemba Walker in the second half."

Brett Brown was considering changes in the second half. Anxi was about to switch to guard Kemba Walker when he opened the door. Brett Brown subconsciously refused because the team still needed Anxi's offense. If Anxi were to defend Kemba Walker, who had already exploded in this game. , will inevitably consume more energy.

After thinking carefully, Brett Brown still shook his head: "No, An, Kemba can let Jay defend, you have more important tasks."

Anxi frowned, not allowing himself to mark Kemba Walker. Maybe Brett Brown had his own reasons. Anxi thought about it and stopped talking, listening to Brett Brown continue.

"In the second half, we will play a lineup with one big and four small, with An as the point guard, James, Jay, and Francisco. You play positions two to four. Paul will play the five position. We speed up and use our best strength. Use fast speed to recover the 18 points behind!"

"An, your task is very simple. Use your speed advantage to protect the basket on the defensive end and launch quick counterattacks on the offensive end."

Now Anxi understands that Brett Brown prefers to participate in assisting defense instead of simply marking a certain person.

During the halftime break, in the commentary box on the sidelines, McBrin was still discussing the possibility of the Bobcats winning with his commentary partner Tracy McGrady.

Although they led by 18 points at halftime, the score was not enough for the Bobcats to seal the victory. In the second half, the 76ers were bound to launch a counterattack, and both the Turner Sports commentators and the fans watching the game were all Looking forward to the 76ers' counterattack in the second half.

"Do the 76ers still have a chance to win this game? For the Bobcats, is this game a clarion call for their counterattack?"

The second half of the game started quickly, but when everyone saw the 76ers' lineup for the second half, they were surprised.

"The 76ers put together a strange lineup. Neither McAway nor Shaun Livingston played, so who is the point guard?" McBrin frowned. "In addition, Pau Gasol should be a guest center, but they let Pau Gasol play center. Are they completely giving up on the inside?"

McBrin clearly expressed his disdain for the 76ers. After all, the Bobcats took the lead in the first half by relying on a strong inside attack. Now the 76ers actually did not let Asik play, nor did they let Cole Al. When Delic comes on the court, who will protect the inside frame?

Pau Gasol? Although Pau Gasol averages more than 1.5 blocks per game, his ability to protect the frame can only be said to be average. After all, he is still an All-Star insider who prefers offense.

With doubts, the second half of the game began.

The 76ers had the ball in the opening game. Anxi held the ball in the backcourt and advanced to the frontcourt.

As soon as the two teams were in position, Anxi directly called Pau Gasol, and a pick-and-roll screen came from the high post. It was still Mikey who defended Anxi. He quickly squeezed Pau Gasol, ready to retreat at any time.

But Anxi suddenly feinted a shot, instead of taking a cover, he accelerated and broke through from the other side of Maijiji.

At this sudden moment, Gerald Henderson immediately double-teamed him from the other side.

After all, because of Anxi's fake move, McGeege's defense was basically out of position. Without Gerald Henderson to make up for it, Anxi went straight in.

As soon as Gerald Henderson made up for it, the Bobcats missed James Anderson. James Anderson, who had been waiting on the wing, seemed very patient. He was waiting for the opportunity, and Gerald Henderson pounced on Anxi, which was his opportunity.

As soon as Henderson left, James Anderson immediately moved towards the bottom corner, where he was most confident in shooting.

Anxi also noticed James Anderson. He passed the basketball directly. Although Josh McRoberts tried his best to cover up the defense, James Anderson's movement towards the bottom corner made Josh McRoberts move further and further away from James Anderson. .

In the bottom corner, James Anderson made a three-pointer!

With a bang, the ball was scored, 55:70. At the beginning of the second half, the 76ers relied on Anxi's strong breakthrough to attract the defense and score. After three points, the point difference between the two teams was reduced to 15 points.

"The 76ers scored a goal, but this is not surprising at all. With Anxi's personal ability, it is normal to score in the second half, but the key is their defense..."

McBrin was still questioning the 76ers' defense. Tracy McGrady had been silent until then, and he put forward his own thoughts: "It is true that Omir Asik and Cole Aldrie were removed from the field. After the odd game, the rim protection is indeed a bit worrying, but the 76ers' opening style of play is also very clear. They want to speed up, so I think it doesn't matter who they use to protect the rim. What matters is whether the 76ers can Play the quick counterattack they want.”

McGrady's words explained Brett Brown's thoughts to a certain extent, and on the court, the Bobcats' offense quickly started.

Through the defensive position, McBrin discovered the 76ers players involved in protecting the frame: "Anxi stood near the bottom line of the penalty area. Could it be that the 76ers have given him the task of protecting the frame?"

McGrady also nodded: "It seems like this. The defensive end Anxi is facing Josh McRoberts, and he should be responsible for protecting the frame."

Sure enough, the Bobcats' offensive round began, with Pau Gasol stationed inside, while Anxi expanded its defense. As soon as Kemba Walker broke through, Anxi defended, blocking the Bobcats' offense.

Facing Anxi's defense, Kemba Walker could only choose to pass the ball, but he also wanted to pass it inside in order to find an opportunity to score easily.

He lowered his center of gravity and passed a ground-breaking pass, but it went directly to Anxi's legs.

Anxi quickly bent down and grabbed the basketball. Kemba Walker also reacted and knew that he had made a mistake. He quickly went to grab the basketball and both of them hugged the basketball.

Beep beep beep!

A rapid whistle sounded, and the referee interrupted the fight between the two and then awarded a penalty.

Anxi smiled. He competed with Kemba Walker for the ball. Wasn't this a gift?

Kemba Walker had a serious look on his face. Of course, he was definitely not in a good mood. He was hit by a three-pointer from the 76ers at the beginning, and now he had to lose the ball. Looking at Anxi who looked proud, Kemba Walker gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be proud. , the ball is definitely still ours!”

Anxi smiled and didn't respond. When they were fighting for the ball, he bounced out and grabbed the ball.

Sure enough, when it comes to fighting for the ball, Kemba Walker, a short point guard, is no match for Anxi.

The 76ers grabbed the ball, and they immediately picked up their speed and rushed to the frontcourt.

Taking advantage of the Bobcats' unsteady footing, they counterattacked directly to the basket.

Anxi rushed to the basket with the ball, faced the defense and succeeded in a layup, launching a quick counterattack.

2-point hit, 57:70, the 76ers narrowed the 2-point deficit. They are now only 13 points behind.

The Bobcats also showed their tenacity at the right time. Facing the 76ers' small lineup on the defensive end, they found an opening. Kemba Walker broke through and then hit the ground and passed to Josh McRoberts, who cut through the air. McRoberts caught the ball and dunked, scoring 2 points.

57:72, the score difference returned to 15 points.

The ball returned to the 76ers' side. Anxi held the ball past halftime, and started a pick-and-roll with Pau Gasol in the high post. After the pick-and-roll, there was hand-to-hand coordination. Pau Gasol held the ball and cut inside. Mike Gee immediately turned around. Along with Al Jefferson, double-team Pau Gasol.

Gasol didn't stick to the ball, so he passed the ball back without looking at anyone. Anxi received the ball behind Pau Gasol and directly created another unmarked three-point opportunity.

Anxi was outside the three-point line. Facing the hurried Gerald Henderson, he didn't give Henderson a chance. He jumped up from outside the three-point line and shot a three-pointer!

The basketball flew high into the sky, soaring into the air as if no external force could stop its trajectory. The fans on the sidelines once again focused their attention on the basketball.

Then, Charlotte fans once again saw something they didn't want to see.

The basketball was like a ballistic missile, drilling into the basket with incomparable accuracy!

Three points! Hit again!

This was the 76ers' second three-pointer in the third quarter. In an instant, the point difference was narrowed again, 60:72, with only 12 points left.

For the Bobcats, they already felt the danger. The score was approaching very quickly. Only 5 rounds were played in the third quarter, and the original 18-point difference was only 12 points.

So, back to the offensive end, the Bobcats attacked very resolutely. They continued to take advantage of their height advantage inside. After switching defenses on the outside, they formed a pattern of using the big against the small. Al Jefferson faced Francisco Garcia and backed up. After playing singles, he turned around and shot a jumper, and it hit with a bang!

60:74, the score difference was widened again.

In the 76ers' offense, Anxi played without the ball. He handed the ball to Pau Gasol who was in the high post, and then the four little guys ran wildly to the top of the key and rounded the bottom corner.

However, among the 76ers' four small players, Anxi is the player that the Bobcats focus on.

In the second half, Anxi has scored 5 points in a row and feels hot.

At the top of the arc, James Anderson came around. He directly cooperated with Pau Gasol hand-in-hand and received the basketball.

Anxi didn't move this round, but he was still restless at the bottom line. James Anderson moved laterally and continued to pick and roll with Pau Gasol in the high post, while Anxi took advantage of the Bobcats to focus all their attention on the basketball and cut along the baseline toward the penalty area.

Mikey did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly followed Anxi, and then he encountered Francisco Garcia's screen in the penalty area.

The moment Mikey was blocked, he loudly shouted to his teammates: "Hurry up and defend Anxi!"

Josh McRoberts on the other side also did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly threw away Francisco Garcia and followed. Anxi ignored Josh McRoberts and ran straight to the three-point line, asking for the ball.

Josh McRoberts followed, and James Anderson noticed Anxi. He found that Anxi had formed a small-to-big game, so he passed the basketball to Anxi without hesitation.

Anxi got the ball and faced the defense of Josh McRoberts. He had the advantage of using small to defeat the big. So Anxi lowered his center of gravity and assumed a triple-threat posture, seemingly ready to break through.

Think about it, facing McRoberts, Anxi has a speed advantage. If it is not used at this time, it will be wasted.

At this time, McRoberts was already in a state of complete nervousness. He knew that Anxi was difficult to defend, so he kept turning his head to signal his teammates to prepare for defense.

At this time, Anxi suddenly reached out and made a move to break through. McRoberts was so frightened that he took several steps back. Inside players are always afraid of being passed by their opponents on the outside, so these Actions are almost always subconscious.

Josh McRoberts was cautious, but his few steps back gave Anxi room to shoot. Almost the moment McRoberts stepped back, Anxi jumped up from outside the three-point line!

Without giving Josh McRoberts a chance to react, Anxi once again jumped up from outside the three-point line!

Josh McRoberts had no time to interfere and could only watch as the basketball flew over his head and then plunged into the basket.

Enter again! Bobcats fans continued to lament that Anxi had already scored 8 points in a row!

Steve Clifford, who was standing on the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't care that this was the beginning of the third quarter and called a timeout because during this period, with Anxi's 8 points in a row, the 76ers had already The difference was reduced by 7 points.

The lead is shrinking so fast that no one can stand it.

"Anxi, good job!" When Anxi came off the field, Brett Brown patted Anxi on the shoulder.

Indeed, let’s not talk about defense. Just scoring three consecutive three-pointers on the offensive end is already a very outstanding performance. The role of frame protection on the defensive end has not been fully revealed, but the opening scrimmage can actually be regarded as Anxi’s frame protection. One of the functions.

On the Bobcats side, Steve Clifford's timeout was not for adjustment. In fact, the Bobcats' current lineup is already the strongest lineup of the Bobcats, and their style of play also continued the style of the first half. Logically speaking, there is no problem.

Steve Clifford's timeout is more about interrupting Anxi's current hot touch.

Therefore, he called a long timeout. After the timeout, neither team made any substitutions. The Bobcats' offense continued with Kemba Walker holding the ball and facing Jae Crowder's single defense.

In the second half, Kemba Walker had not scored yet, and when the team was in crisis, he also stepped up his offense. For this goal, Kemba Walker continued to attack with the ball, making a quick breakthrough and passing Jae Crowder.

Kemba Walker, who scored 37 points in the first half, still posed a great threat. After Jae Crowder lost his defensive position, Anxi immediately made up for it.

However, it may be that Kemba Walker was too confident in himself. Facing Anxi's defense, he still took action.

A sudden stop jumper was thrown against Anxi's defense.

There was a bang, and as expected, the iron struck.

Anxi's assisting defense and supplementary defense on the inside are beginning to show their prowess...

Pau Gasol grabbed the rebound. He stood in the paint with the purpose of protecting the backcourt rebounds. After getting the rebound, the 76ers immediately launched a quick counterattack.

Counterattacking to the frontcourt, the Bobcats' defense was still in chaos.

Jack Crowder received a pass from Francisco Garcia and rushed into the penalty area, and the Bobcats also huddled inside.

At this time, Jack Crowder passed the ball directly to Anxi who had just rushed outside the three-point line. Anxi received the ball and directly shot a chasing three-pointer!

"Three-pointer! Another three-pointer! Anxi's third three-pointer in the third quarter!" Before McBrin could finish his words, there was a crisp sound of net wiping!

Anxi on the court waved his fists and celebrated the goal crazily!

"Go in! Go in again! Anxi, the third quarter has just started, and he has already hit three consecutive three-pointers! He feels hot!"

66:74! The point difference was narrowed to single digits for the first time, only 8 points behind!

Although McBrin expressed his disapproval of the 76ers before the third quarter, but now seeing the 76ers' strong pursuit of points, McBrin couldn't help but applaud the 76ers: "Great! Great! Great! Anxi scored three consecutive three-pointers, plus James Anderson's three-pointer from the corner. In the third quarter, the 76ers scored four consecutive three-pointers. They have completely achieved the fast break counterattack they wanted. come out!"

"Anxi scored consecutively, and has already scored 11 points in the third quarter! It seems that he is unstoppable! The Bobcats have nothing to do with him. It seems that the 76ers are really likely to stage a desperate counterattack!"

When the conversation changed, McBrin was already more optimistic about the 76ers.

The game continued to start. At this time, in front of the 76ers, the remaining 8-point difference seemed to be nothing, and Anxi, who hit consecutive three-pointers, became more confident.

The Bobcats launched a wave of offense, and Kemba Walker's layup was once again interfered with by Anxi. He missed two shots in the third quarter, and it seemed difficult to regain his form in the first half.

Anxi grabbed the rebound and turned around to launch a fast break.

Fast break counterattack to the frontcourt, Anxi did not pass the ball, went directly into the penalty area, and did it himself!

Facing Josh McRoberts' block, Anxi roared and sent the basketball into the basket!

The 13th point of the third quarter! Anxi continues to score!

Immediately afterwards, Kemba Walker made a decisive breakthrough, and this time he finally scored. He hit the mid-range shot, and the point difference was still 8 points.

However, Anxi turned around and shot another three-pointer. He faced McGeege's defense and made this three-pointer.

The sound of swish is like the sound of footsteps, killing the bobcat step by step.

A three-pointer hit, Anxi's 16th point in the third quarter, and the point difference was suddenly reduced to 5 points!

Anxi's personal outburst directly caused the entire Time Warner Arena to explode. Amidst the boos everywhere, Anxi excitedly chest-bumped with Jack Crowder to celebrate.
