Chapter 163 Sudden downturn

"Anxi continues to get the ball with his back in the high post, but now the Heat have taken precautions and they have begun to double-team Anxi. Is it necessary to continue this kind of offense?"

Anxi didn't know the various questions in the commentary box. He only knew that at this stage, the best way to score was to shoot a fadeaway after playing with his back, or pass the ball. Nature’s Novel⒉

This time, Wade's double-team came again. Anxi continued to pass the ball. The opportunity in front of Jack Crowder was not very good, so he chose to pass again.

After another pass, the basketball came to McAway's hands. There was a large open space in front of McAway. He could choose to shoot a three-pointer directly or break through.

McAway hesitated and chose to shoot a three-pointer directly.

The three-point shot was a bit slow, but fortunately there was no problem in the process.

When it comes to three-pointers in wide open spaces, McAway still has some accuracy.

With a swish sound, a three-pointer! 6:7, the 76ers reversed the score.

The Heat quickly launched a wave of attacks in the frontcourt, and LeBron James broke into the paint and scored again, turning the score back.

8:7, the score between the two teams was a bit anxious.

But at this time, the 76ers' offensive rounds became important, because whether Anxi's back-up ball can still be effective has become a question.

Anxi continued to take the ball with his back, and Wade's double-team came a little slowly. Perhaps he felt that Anxi had not made a move for two consecutive rounds. More importantly, Anxi had just opened the scoring with a pass in the 76ers' last round. Heat's defense.

Taking all things into consideration, the Heat decided to let LeBron James try to defend Anxi alone for one goal.

Since the Heat had no intention of double-teaming Anxi, Anxi was merciless. After a while of hitting the high post without making any progress, Anxi suddenly turned his back and pulled up, shooting a fadeaway jumper!

LeBron James was also taken aback. He did not expect that Anxi would suddenly take action after a while of relying on the ball. Therefore, James' interference was also delayed. In the end, he could only watch the basketball accurately fly into the basket again.

At 9:8, the 76ers reversed the score again.

In the middle of the first quarter, Anxi took the ball with his back and took fadeaway jumpers. He made consecutive hits. By the second half of the first quarter, Anxi had already made 6 of 11 shots and scored 12 points.

It's a pity that in the second half, the Heat began to feel the threat of Anxi taking the ball with his back in the high post, and began to continuously strengthen the double-teaming of Anxi, no longer caring whether Anxi's pass was an opportunity.

However, the game started with Anxi constantly getting the ball behind his back.

The 76ers were not opened up by the Heat at the start. With more than 2 minutes left in the quarter, the 76ers were only 1 point behind.

At 27:28, Anxi's 12 points are crucial here. Although there are only two assists, if indirect assists are included, there should be five or six.

However, Anxi's constant back-up play and fadeaway jumpers were a test for his physical fitness. Anxi also took a lot of shots in the first quarter, 11 shots, which was really too much for him physically. Therefore, in this game, Anxi's first shot was Replaced by Brett Brown in the first quarter.

With more than 2 minutes left in the first quarter, the Heat called a timeout, and Brett Brown took advantage of this opportunity to replace Anxi with James Anderson.

But this change gave the Heat a chance.

The Heat used the last 2 minutes or so to play an 8:2 run. At the end of the first quarter, the Heat led the 76ers by 7 points at 36:29.

Anxi did not play at the beginning of the second quarter, and McAwee came on as a substitute.

But still the same, Anxi and Pau Gasol were not present at the same time, and the Heat seized another opportunity to open the game with a 12:6 score, widening the point difference to 13 points.

As Chris Bosh hit a three-pointer and the score reached 48:35, Brett Brown replaced Anxi.

Pau Gasol did not follow, and James Anderson and McAwee were paired in the backcourt. Anxi played the three position, and the inside was a combination of Jae Crowder and Cole Aldridge.

On the Heat's side, point guard Norris Cole, shooting guard Ray Allen, small forward LeBron James, and inside are Chris Bosh and Chris Anderson.

Although Anxi scored 12 points in the first quarter, Anxi also took 11 shots. Counting the scoring efficiency of each shot, it was only one point, which is not very efficient. So in general, the Heat's defensive strategy is still correct.

Anxi re-entered the game, and David Fizdale also implemented the quarter's defensive strategy and continued to let Chris Anderson guard the inside.

After Anxi reappeared, he attempted a breakthrough, but was still resolutely double-teamed by the Heat.

Anxi missed a forced shot and the rebound was picked off by Birdman Anderson.

The Heat launched a quick counterattack, during which LeBron James caused another foul on Anxi.

James went to the free throw line and made two free throws, widening the point difference to 15 points.

In the 76ers' offense, Anxi continued to take the ball with his back in the high post. This offensive method that had been tried and tested in the first quarter encountered disadvantages when he just came on the stage in the second quarter.

After Anxi turned his back, he pulled up directly, and LeBron James also jumped up. This time, LeBron James desperately pounced on Anxi, forcing Anxi's shot to deform.

In the end, Anxi made a three-pointer, which caused an uproar on the scene, followed by cheers, the kind of cheers that took pleasure in one's misfortune.

"Anxi made a three-pointer. After re-appearing, he seemed a little at a loss under the defense of LeBron James and Ray Allen." This is Craig Sagel's explanation.

The commentator on the scene was not so polite: "Anxi threw an air ball and he was dead! Did he shoot a pistol during the first quarter break? Did he make himself weak? Haha!"

Anxi frowned. After re-appearing, the feeling in the first quarter was a bit hard to get back.

However, after defending against the Heat's attack, Anxi continued to insist on taking the ball with his back in the high post. This time, Anxi suffered another setback. The Heat made timely defense and Ray Allen cut off the basketball in Anxi's hand. This not only Anxi made a mistake, which caused the Heat to launch a wave of fast breaks.

LeBron James succeeded in a dunk in the frontcourt, and the point difference widened to 17 points...

"Anxi made another mistake. His condition after re-appearing was indeed worrying. An air ball, a mistake, and a foul allowed the Heat to widen the point difference to 17 points. It seems that the betting company's odds before the game were justified. The Heat have started to extend their lead."

"Anxi is completely guarded. Even Anxi can't fire. Who can the 76ers count on?"

"The overall situation of the game has been decided. The Heat will win this game and equalize the total score!"

The anxious commentator has already determined the outcome of this game. Although the first half of the game has not yet been played, Anxi's struggling performance can be seen by everyone.

So far in the first half, Anxi has taken a total of 12 shots and hit 6 goals, a hit rate of just over 50%. However, in terms of scoring, Anxi has only scored 12 points, one point per shot, which is extremely inefficient.

After coming off the bench in the second quarter, they made mistakes again and again. It seemed that if Anxi couldn't do this, the 76ers would no longer have any hope of winning this game.

Turner Sports is relatively professional, and Craig Sager is not that anxious, but now, he is also worried about Anxi's state: "Anxi played pretty well in the first quarter, and the threat of getting the ball behind the back is great. But Anxi’s performance suddenly began to decline in this quarter. There may be many reasons, but the most critical question now is, can Anxi adjust back?”

On the court, during the 76ers' attack, Anxi continued to take the ball with his back. This time, he successfully completed a fadeaway jumper. However, facing LeBron James's defense, Anxi's shot continued to fail.

The Heat grabbed the rebound and quickly counterattacked and scored two more points.

With a 19-point deficit, Brett Brown walked to the sidelines and called another timeout.

"Compared with the last game, LeBron James and Anxi have lost their positions. Anxi scored 12 points on 6 of 13 shots, which is extremely inefficient. As of now, LeBron James has scored 16 points on 7 of 12 shots. It’s divided! The one who performed better in this game is undoubtedly LeBron James!”

The commentator on the scene began to praise James. At this time, the 76ers faced a serious situation of being 19 points behind.

What's even more serious is that Anxi's state is terrible and the team's offense is a mess... (To be continued.)
