Super Role Player

Anxi worked hard to prevent the Heat's counterattack, but the effect of this goal was not that great. ?

Anxi was originally trying to make up for its own mistakes. In other words, this attack was originally an opportunity for the 76ers, but because of Anxi's mistakes, they almost missed this opportunity, and Anxi's strong defense in the backcourt only helped the 76ers. He saved this opportunity and then used a three-pointer to narrow his deficit to 12 points.

The game continued with the Heat's offense and Anxi continuing to face LeBron James on the defensive end.

At this moment, LeBron James has a cold face, because he just took a big shot from Anxi, so forget it. Chris Bosh also took a big shot from Anxi, two consecutive big shots, LeBron James felt that he had been humiliated by Anxi again, and he was determined to get back the block he just had.

LeBron James opened his hand to signal his teammates to pull away, and he also assumed a singles stance.

When his teammates completely emptied the penalty area, LeBron James did not delay and started to break through directly.

Facing Anxi's defense, LeBron James pulled the basketball to the other side, then turned sideways, holding the ball and making a breakthrough inside!

The speed from slow to fast is like a bull who has just started shooting. James' breakthrough has always been fierce, but for Anxi, he has seen enough similar breakthroughs by LeBron James. Nicolas Batum once said that the most difficult player to defend in the league is LeBron James, because after playing against LeBron James, your bones will be broken by LeBron James.

But now Anxi has gained some experience in defending James. Instead of confronting LeBron James, he entangled LeBron James sideways, waiting for opportunities to interfere with or even risk LeBron James's shots.

When LeBron James rushed into the penalty area, he leaned directly on Anxi beside him, and then jumped into the air!

LeBron James's right hand is holding the basketball with one hand, and his left hand is stretched out to try to block Anxi's take-off and block. This action is somewhat foul, but the referee usually turns a blind eye.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Anxi has entered the league for three seasons and has already understood how to fight within the referee's penalty scale.

Facing LeBron James' left hand reaching out to try to block him, Anxi jumped up, stretched out his right hand and pulled hard, getting rid of LeBron James's blockage.

Two people collided in the air,

Anxi did not give in, and LeBron James was naturally not to be outdone. At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the 76ers penalty area, and the two roared almost at the same time!

LeBron James tried his best to keep his right hand away from himself and Anxi, while Anxi stretched his right arm to try to block LeBron James' shot.

The basketball was eventually thrown to the basket by LeBron James, but with Anxi's best efforts to interfere, the ball could not go any further.

The basketball hit the edge of the basket hard and then bounced out.

Cole Aldridge, who was waiting aside, got stuck and grabbed the rebound.

Throw the ball! Fast break!

James Anderson and Francisco Garcia stepped up their pace in the frontcourt, but the Heat were ready to get back on defense when LeBron James rushed into the paint and beat Anxi's defense for a layup. The one-goal fast break was also defended by the Heat.

Unable to make a fast break, Francisco Garcia, who was holding the ball, was experienced. He stopped and waited for the arrival of Anxi from the backcourt.

Anxi quickly rushed to the frontcourt and caught the basketball at the top of the key. LeBron James also rushed to the frontcourt at the same time to face Anxi.

LeBron James failed to score a layup despite a strong confrontation, but he was still a little emotional inside. So when he came to the frontcourt to face Anxi's offense, he directly got in front of Anxi, and his movements on the defensive end were very large.

The referee didn't mean to call a foul. After all, Anxi's actions on the defensive end were not small in the ball just now. The penalty scale in this game is like this. The referee cannot be inconsistent. LeBron James also seized this loophole. , venting his dissatisfaction on the defensive end.

But these hard pulling and tearing movements gave Anxi a chance to break through quickly. He quickly leaned on LeBron James, turned around and broke through, directly overtaking LeBron James.

Of course, LeBron James couldn't just let Anxi leave like this. He pulled Anxi's jersey and held Anxi in place.

With a beep, the referee's whistle sounded. This ball must have been a foul.

LeBron James didn't complain. He walked directly to the side, and because the number of fouls had not yet reached, the 76ers could only restart the ball from the sideline.

At this time, Anxi pulled Pau Gasol and whispered something, and then stood at the bottom corner on the other side. Pau Gasol was standing at the top of the key when the referee handed the basketball to James Anderson who was on the sideline. , Anxi started directly. He rushed to the top of the arc, used Pau Gasol's screen to get rid of LeBron James half a step, and caught the basketball at the top of the arc.

When LeBron James had just arrived at the top of the arc, Pau Gasol moved half a step again, and Anxi even took a step sideways, setting up another pick-and-roll!

The person didn't change, but he just blocked it again!

Pau Gasol separated LeBron James and gave Anxi a space to shoot.

Anxi took a three-point shot from the outside. No one interfered with him. There was no doubt that this three-pointer went in! Very strong!

After the three-pointer, the point difference was narrowed to single digits, 9 points. After playing in Anxi, the 76ers scored two three-pointers in a row, and the momentum of narrowing the point difference was extremely fierce.

In the next round of the Heat's offense, LeBron James continued to attack Anxi alone. He began to regain the court again and again, and this time, he succeeded. Anxi's defense was not invincible. LeBron James succeeded in a layup and scored. The difference expanded to 11 points again.

For Anxi, his teammates were in pretty good shape in this game, and when chasing points, Anxi also chose to believe in his teammates.

After LeBron James used a layup to widen the point difference to 11 points, Anxi also assisted Pau Gasol on the offensive end to complete a mid-range shot, but unfortunately, the mid-range shot failed.

The basketball hit the edge of the basket. Fortunately, Anxi rushed into the paint and grabbed the basketball.

When the Heat saw Anxi grabbing the basketball inside, they immediately surrounded the inside like a beehive. Anxi's threat on the offensive end was so great that as long as Anxi got the ball inside, a lot of people would rush forward. containment.

Anxi still didn't want to take credit. He once again chose to pass the ball to the outside. This time, it was Francisco Garcia who received the ball.

For a three-point opportunity from the outside, Garcia hesitated and took the shot.

The basketball flew around in the air, then hit the inner edge of the basket, and still managed to get into the basket.

In! The moment Francisco Garcia saw the basketball go into the hoop, he raised his hand and started celebrating again.

Three consecutive three-pointers! After Anxi came out, it rained three points for the 76ers!

As a result, the point difference continued to be narrowed, with only the last 8 points left!

The Heat's offense and LeBron James' breakthrough. This time, he continued to force the shot and hit a mid-range jump shot. Anxi's defense was not a vegetarian. He once again interfered with LeBron James' mid-range shot.

Then, he turned around and launched a counterattack fast break. After forming a two-on-two in the frontcourt, Anxi attracted the defense of all two Heat players and passed the ball to James Anderson. James Anderson did not waste the opportunity and rushed into the penalty area for a dunk.

With a score difference of 6 points, Anxi was very efficient. At the end of the half, the score difference was narrowed by Anxi.

But in the next round, LeBron James continued to beat Anxi hard, but this time, he chose to pass the ball.

LeBron James is not a serious person. He also knows that the efficiency of continuous singles is actually very low, and the threat he passes after a breakthrough is still very huge. This pass passed an opportunity and directly tore it apart. It opened up the 76ers' defense and allowed Ray Allen to get a three-point opportunity.

Ray Allen also seized this opportunity and hit a three-pointer, and the point difference became 9 points again.

However, after going back and forth to chase points and widen the point difference, the 76ers still reduced the score to 3 points before halftime.

On the last ball of the second quarter, in 6 seconds, Anxi took the ball from the backcourt, rushed to the frontcourt and shot a long three-pointer. After the basketball flew quickly, it bounced directly into the basket!

With an exclamation from the American Airlines Arena, Anxi hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, and the 76ers trailed the Heat by 3 points 64:67 at halftime.

Anxi, which was still 50-50 with LeBron James in the first quarter, exploded in the second quarter and suddenly increased its defensive intensity, directly pulling away from LeBron James by half a body.

At halftime, Anxi scored 29 points, plus 3 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks. However, LeBron James's halftime statistics were slightly worse. He scored 23 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks. 1 block and zero steals.

Of course, LeBron James' performance at halftime was already outstanding. It can only be said that Anxi's performance was even better. For the Heat, the 3-point lead at halftime was actually a matter of one ball.

Therefore, David Fizdale was not careless. He made detailed arrangements during the halftime break.

But even so, when the second half began, the Heat were caught off guard by the 76ers.

In the second half, the two teams played their best, and the Heat had the ball in the opening game.

But maybe it was because of the 15-minute rest that they still needed to find their touch. Under the defense of Jae Crowder, Wade missed a mid-range shot. Gasol inside the 76ers grabbed the rebound, and the 76ers turned from defense to offense.

The Heat retreated quickly, but the 76ers failed to make a fast break. They could only enter a positional battle.

Anxi played without the ball, and he lurked in the bottom corner, waiting for opportunities.

At the top of the arc, McAway handed the basketball to Pau Gasol. Pau Gasol then turned around, as if he was going to play alone or to coordinate the attack. In this way, Pau Gasol attracted a certain degree of defense. .

Anxi also started to move at this time. He slipped from the bottom corner to the penalty area and ran with LeBron James. Then he stopped near the mid-range of the bottom line and won a rare opportunity for low singles.

Anxi opened his hand for the ball, and Pau Gasol immediately gave the basketball away.

Anxi faced LeBron James' defense with his back, played in the low post, and after two hits, he turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper.

With a swish sound, an arc was drawn in the air, and Anxi scored the goal perfectly.

The score difference was still 1 point away. In the Heat's offense, LeBron James chose to break through. After the breakthrough, he passed the basketball to Bosh inside. After receiving the ball, Bosh wanted to single out Pau Gasol, but Anxi followed LeBron James. When passing by Bosh, he reached out and stabbed the basketball away.

Pau Gasol got the basketball, and Anxi turned around and ran towards the frontcourt.

LeBron James also hurriedly turned back to defend, but his speed was ultimately one step slower than Anxi's. Anxi took the lead and rushed into the Heat's half. At this time, the Heat's half was empty. Only Anxi had LeBron James behind him. Defensive players.

Pau Gasol's pass arrived shortly afterwards. After Anxi received the ball, there was a sudden stop.

Then he raised the basketball above his head. LeBron James was shaken by Anxi. He didn't expect that Anxi would stop suddenly before he entered the penalty area. He couldn't stop the car and threw himself out. .

At this time, Anxi slowly lifted the basketball, as if he was about to take a simple shot.

At this time, Wade came out from behind Anxi again, stretching his arms to block Anxi's shot.

But Anxi retracted his hand again, feinted a shot, shook Wade away with another feint, and then slowly sent the basketball into the basket.

During a fast break, Anxi used two consecutive fake moves to get away from LeBron James and Dwyane Wade! If this were Wachovia Arena, it would already be in full swing.

But even in the away game, the visiting team's bench was in a state of excitement after Anxi successively drove away LeBron James and Dwyane Wade and scored.

"Well done! Ann!" Brett Brown jumped up from the bench and waved his fist.

There was also cheers in the Turner Sports commentary box.

Anxi's goal helped the 76ers complete the counterattack.

But this goal was just the clarion call for the 76ers' counterattack in the second half. They then spent another 5 minutes to shoot a 12:5 wave and gradually began to lead the Heat.

When the 76ers' lead reached 8 points, David Fizdale was forced to call a timeout. (To be continued.) 8
