Super Role Player

The 76ers lost the fifth game of the series, and the situation became not optimistic.

Brett Brown is a rookie coach. This is the first time he has coached a team alone. Moreover, Brett Brown has been living in Australia before. He has few connections in North America. The team does not even have a chief assistant coach, only Lloyd. Pierce, the assistant coach, takes over the duties of the head assistant coach.

Therefore, at a critical moment, Brett Brown didn't even have an experienced assistant. In the playoffs, he couldn't ask Veach for advice like he did in the regular season.

As a result, Brett Brown could only think hard on his own, and then before Game 6 at the American Airlines Arena, the 76ers also made changes.

A change in response to the Heat's changes, Pau Gasol was pushed to the center position, Anxi was pushed to the power forward position, James Anderson started, and other positions remained unchanged.

It seems that this is also a small lineup. Among the small players, the height of the inside is also taken into account. Coupled with Anxi's role in assisting defense on the defensive end, the defensive end will not be too bad. This change of formation is considered a good one. responded.

But whether the response can be effective depends on the situation in the game.

"The game started, the two sides competed for the ball, Chris Bosh grabbed the ball, and the Heat attacked first." For this game, Turner Sports still sent three commentators: Craig Sagel, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith. group of people.

Not only did the 76ers make changes in this game, but even the Heat continued to make changes after summing up the shortcomings of the previous game.

Chris Bosh returns to the starting lineup, but the center position is Greg Oden, who made his Heat playoff debut in the last game. Oden showed a pretty good inside frame protection ability in the last game, and he has both height and height. He is obviously a better candidate for the starting center inside.

Therefore, just when the 76ers changed into a smaller lineup, the Heat returned to a very normal starting lineup.

Mario Chalmers at point guard, Wade at shooting guard, LeBron James at small forward, Bosh at power forward and Oden at center.

Therefore, the Turner Sports commentary trio had different opinions on the 76ers' lineup changes and the Heat's changes to the starting lineup.

"The 76ers chose to change their formation. They arranged a smaller lineup. This is obviously a measure for the 76ers to deal with the Heat's change of formation, but will such a change of formation really be effective? Anxi appeared at the power forward. In terms of position, Anxi obviously needs to take care of the protection of the basket. Is it really okay to put all the defensive and offensive pressure on Anxi? Judging from the 76ers' lineup changes,

The 76ers may still lose in this game. "

Charles Barkley is obviously not very optimistic about the 76ers' lineup changes. The Heat used a small lineup to win a big victory in the last game, but in this game, the 76ers were forced to make the same lineup changes. It's really hard to say what the effect will be.

Craig Sagel noticed the Heat's starting lineup at this time: "Greg Oden replaced Chris Anderson in the starting lineup, and Chris Bosh also returned to the starting lineup. Are the Heat not going to continue this game?" Speeding up?"

Charles Barkley shook his head: "Oden's speed is not slow, and the Heat's fast offense and defense still have a chance."

Kenny Smith didn't speak until Craig Sager and Charles Barkley finished speaking, and then he began to express his opinions: "The 76ers' lineup change does mean that they are trying to win in a dangerous situation, but there is nothing much to say. If the 76ers don't change their formation, they will still lose this game, so they might as well win after changing their formation."

Kenny Smith's argument was not opposed by the other two. After all, judging from the process and results of the last game, the 76ers would definitely not be able to withstand the Heat's rapid impact under the regular lineup.

While the three of them were talking, the Heat and the 76ers had already played several offensive and defensive games on the court, interacting with each other, but neither scored a goal.

After the two teams changed formations, the offense did not improve much, but the defense did better. The defensive end moved faster, which accelerated the pace and intensity of the game.

After playing for more than two minutes, the Heat got their first point of the game when LeBron James broke through and caused a foul on Jae Crowder. He went to the free throw line and made two free throws.

Then the 76ers opened the game, and Anxi continued to play without the ball. This time he ran back to catch the ball, made a mid-range jumper, and also scored 2 points.

However, after both teams scored two points each, silence fell into silence again.

Wade missed a mid-range shot after a quick breakthrough. Anxi, who had been guarding the basket, grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break.

But the Heat were well prepared, and during the fast break, they blocked McAwee's layup again.

Instead, they played a fast break with the 76ers. Fortunately, Anxi hadn't retreated yet and gave Chris Bosh a big shot in the backcourt.

Just like this, they fought with each other and made mistakes in various fast attacks.

But the game was inevitably controlled by the Heat. After all, the Heat's counterattack and fast break were of better quality. After the first quarter, the Heat took a 5-point lead at 25:20.

Starting from the second quarter, the 76ers replaced Cole Aldridge, finally freeing Anxi from the inside.

The 76ers also launched a counterattack.

At halftime, the 76ers trailed the Heat by 3 points, 49:52.

Judging from the score, the 76ers have done their best in this game, and they still have hope of winning the game.

The game continued until there were 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter. The score between the two teams remained anxious and did not open up. Although the Heat maintained the lead, their lead was only two or three points. The game continued until there were 2 minutes left in the game. , the Heat only led the 76ers by 2 points, 99:97, but the ball was still in the hands of the Heat.

For the 76ers, they must prevent the Heat's next attack so that they can have a chance to equalize or even overtake.

The game was so tense that the Heat fans on the sidelines were not willing to see this scene. They wanted to see the team be able to secure the victory with overwhelming force. After all, it was the Heat who were lagging behind by a big score. If they lost this game, the Heat would lose. It's time to go home.

Of course, the Heat are at home now.

When it came to the Heat's offense, they immediately set up their stance and chose to break through without stopping.

LeBron James held the ball himself and accelerated to get rid of Jae Crowder, and the American Airlines Arena suddenly burst into wild cheers.

LeBron James strode into the penalty area. Anxi, who was guarding the basket in the penalty area, had to let go of Bosh and pushed forward.

But LeBron James didn't take credit, he chose to pass the ball.

The basketball was given to Chris Bosh on the other side, and Bosh took a mid-range shot. With a whoosh, cheers rang out from the American Airlines Arena and throughout Miami.

"On a crucial goal, Anxi's defense gave the Heat a chance to take a 4-point lead. Let's see how the 76ers handle the next goal!"

The 76ers' offense was running out of time, and they needed to hurry up, so McAwee made a gesture after taking possession of the ball after halftime.

Anxi in the bottom corner understood and started running.

"McCaraway's breakthrough, he took advantage of Pau Gasol's pick-and-roll and rushed in! Oh no, he distributed the ball, Anxi! He caught the ball and shot, it was a three-pointer!"

Anxi jumped up from the three-point line, faced Wade's defense, and shot the three-pointer.

"The ball went in! Beautiful goal! Anxi's key three-pointer, the point difference was reduced to 1 point! This is an effective way to chase points!"

The 76ers had just narrowed the point difference to 1 point, and the Heat immediately seized the opportunity and launched a counterattack in just 10 seconds.

During the counterattack, Mario Chalmers caught the ball and shot. McAway's defense made a major mistake. When he returned to defense, he kept retreating towards the inside. As a result, he missed Chalmers, who was counterattacking with the ball from the outside. Moss took a three-point shot and hit a chasing three-pointer! The Heat once again widened the point difference to 4 points.

On the court, McAway held his head, while Anxi frowned. There was only one minute left in the game and time was running out.

But then, the 76ers' offense failed. Anxi's reverse run caught the ball, but he missed!

At this time, Craig Sager began to announce the 76ers' death penalty.

"Anxi's mid-range shot! Missed! At the critical moment, the 76ers relied too much on Anxi's offense, but Anxi was severely defended by the Heat. He needed to run to catch the ball, and then shoot after catching the ball. This was too difficult! "

"The ball didn't go in. Maybe the 76ers will lose this game and the series will enter a tiebreaker!"

With 41 seconds left in the game, Anxi gritted his teeth and shouted to his teammates: "We still have a chance to defend against the next goal!" (To be continued.)
