Chapter 162: Killing by leaning back

Anxi fell into the quagmire of the Heat's defense. For more than two minutes in the first quarter, neither team scored. The two teams were always playing hard at the beginning.

During the Heat's offense, Chris Bosh held the ball in a high position and turned to pass the ball to Wade who was diagonally entering the penalty area at high speed. This caused Pau Gasol to move towards the penalty area. At this time, he suddenly turned sideways again. Mid-range jump shot.

With a bang, in the third minute of the first quarter, Chris Bosh scored the first point of the two teams' opening game.

At this time, Anxi had already taken one shot, missed, and made another mistake.

The difficulty of the fourth game between the two sides in Chengdu was beyond Anxi's imagination. The Heat seemed wholeheartedly unwilling to let Anxi score, and after Bosh scored, Anxi's stubbornness began to take over his brain.

Looking back, Anxi didn't believe in the 76ers' offense, so he decided to continue playing singles with the ball.

After settling into position at halftime, Anxi faced LeBron James in the high post and played a post-up single.

This move has been rarely used by Anxi when facing the Heat. Before that, this move was Anxi's killer move. Whenever the game failed to open up, Anxi would use his back in the half. Singles, fadeaways, or breakthroughs can always score at critical moments.

The reason why it was useless against the Heat is because when Anxi faced LeBron James, the possibility of pushing behind the back was too small. When used, the move of turning around and shooting is somewhat threatening, which is considered a bit useless.

But now, Anxi has to use it too.

The Heat were too strict on his defensive blockade. As soon as he broke through, he would immediately be double-teamed and help on defense.

After taking the ball with his back, the Heat would not double-team immediately, and Anxi's opportunity came just like that.

Anxi still has a certain degree of confidence in his fadeaway jumper.

Facing LeBron James' defense, Anxi made a fake move to the right, then turned to the left and shot a fadeaway jumper.

LeBron James also jumped up and tried his best to interfere with his long arms.

With a clang, Anxi's shot hit the edge of the basket and failed to score.

However, Anxi did not give up this style of play. He knew that this was the first goal of the game.

Now he is still in a state of finding his touch.

Therefore, after defending against an attack by the Heat, Anxi made a comeback.

Still the same position, still the same style of play. After facing LeBron James with his back, Anxi did not seek to advance with his back. He just used his back to protect the basketball in his hand, and then looked for opportunities to turn around and shoot a fadeaway jumper.

"Anxi once again received the basketball in the high post. He continued to play in the post. The Heat did not have the idea of ​​double-teaming Anxi for the time being. The post in the high post was a move that Anxi often used before. Combined with this move, Anxi often played in the high post. He made a fadeaway jumper and the hit rate was very impressive, but now the Heat seem to have not realized the threat of Anxi in this position, and they have no intention of double-teaming." Kenny Smith raised a question.

Charles Barkley shook his head: "The Heat's idea is very simple. They don't think Anxi can continue to shoot from this position and kill the game. No matter how impressive the high-post fadeaway jumper is, the shooting rate will not be incredible. , unless Anxi’s touch is incredible in this game.”

Craig Sager nodded in agreement.

After all, the fadeaway jumper is an offensive method that combines four fadeaways with three irons, so the efficiency will definitely not be too high.

But Anxi on the court refused to admit defeat and kept making the same fake moves. However, LeBron James's defense was very solid and Anxi was not shaken away.

So, when Anxi turned around again and made a fadeaway jumper, LeBron James also jumped up, and then stretched out his big hand to cover Anxi's sight.

Bang, still missed.

"Anxi once again made a fadeaway jumper. Now he is a little obsessed with individual singles!"

Charles Barkley shook his head, and at this time, Asik inside grabbed the offensive rebound and passed the basketball again.

Anxi continued to hold the ball and played post-up singles.

At this moment, everyone was speechless.

After two consecutive irons, Anxi still refused to give up his previous offensive method.

So, the fans and commentators in the American Airlines Arena watched Anxi once again post up LeBron James in the high post, and then... in the same way, he shot a fadeaway jumper...

This time...swish! The crisp sound of net wiping sounded! The American Airlines Arena exploded with exclamations of surprise!

This time! The ball went in!

"I actually scored! But it's not surprising that I scored on a fadeaway jumper. It's impossible not to score forever."

"Yes, in general, Anxi's fadeaway jumpers are not very efficient. From the beginning to now, Anxi has taken four shots and only made one hit."

After hearing this explanation, domestic fans immediately smiled knowingly: Isn't this the four-back triathlon?

Anxi scored 2 points, which was also the 76ers' first point of the game. At this time, the score difference on the field had become 2:2. The two teams were tied, but the Heat had the ball for the next attack.

LeBron James started to hold the ball on the offensive end. He has not scored in this game. The Heat only scored two points through a single from Bosh in the high post. After Anxi scored, LeBron James' offense was almost overflowing.

He held the ball and launched an attack from the backcourt. After rushing to the frontcourt, he didn't stop for a moment and went directly towards the 76ers' interior.

Anxi entangled LeBron James sideways, but LeBron James rushed into the penalty area for a layup, but Anxi still did not block it.

The basketball spins around the basket and eventually falls into the basket.

The ball was scored, 4:2, and the Heat took the lead.

In the 76ers' offense, when everyone once again saw Anxi stuck in the high post and receiving the basketball, everyone was speechless.

"It's still post-up singles. How long will Anxi's post-up singles last?"

Some commentators had already begun to question Anxi's professional attitude, but the next second, he was slapped in the face.

On the court, Anxi turned around in the same way, facing LeBron James' defense that was completely out of position, and shot a fadeaway jumper.

Then, the basketball swished and gracefully got into the basket!

Come in again!

Anxi raised his hand excitedly!

"Go in again! Hit two consecutive fadeaway jumpers! Has Anxi found his touch?" This was Charles Barkley, his last question, because Anxi's two consecutive fadeaway jumpers made him feel a little bit... With killing intent, it seems that Anxi really found the feel of his jump shot after he found the high position.

At 4:4, the two teams continued to tie.

However, in the next round, the Heat's offense failed to score.

The defensive quality of both teams in this game was pretty good. The Heat blocked Anxi, and the 76ers' defense was also in place.

Wade's breakthrough jump shot was interfered by Jae Crowder. Asik was still inside. He steadily protected the rebound and then passed the basketball directly to Anxi on the outside.

The 76ers wanted to play a fast break to break the current tight defense of the Heat. The Heat retreated quickly. They guessed that the 76ers wanted to counterattack with a fast break. The moment Wade missed the shot, there was a hive. retreated.

So, by the time McAway rushed to the frontcourt, the Heat were basically in position at half court.

Anxi passed the basketball to McAway, and once again ran to the 45-degree high position on the right, then turned his back against LeBron James and opened his hand for the ball.

"Anxi is once again asking for the ball in the high post. Let's see how the Heat defend this defense. Will they double-team?"

Before Craig Sagel finished speaking, Anxi was about to turn around with the ball when Dwyane Wade rushed over.

Double team!

Anxi has already made two consecutive fadeaway jumpers, and the Heat have also felt this threat. At this time, they cannot allow any mistakes and must take every ball seriously.

After Anxi encountered a double team, he directly chose to pass the ball because an opportunity had already appeared on the other side of Jack Crowder.

Anxi passed the ball and Jack Crowder received the ball, but Jack Crowder failed to make the open mid-range shot, which was a direct hit.

Birdman Anderson grabbed the rebound, the score was still tied at 4:4, and the Heat had the ball on the offensive end.

This time it was still LeBron James. He passed through a pick-and-roll screen, got rid of Anxi, and hit a jumper from the mid-range, giving the Heat the lead again.

As for the 76ers' next round of offense, there is still no change... (To be continued.)
