Super Role Player

(Today is Christmas, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and thank you Xiaoyao? Suixin’s classmates for the 10,000 rewards, the third update today, all kinds of requests!)

"What? Am I hurt?"

"Hey, kid, don't be nervous, it's just a minor injury."

Anxi was speechless as he watched the team doctor with a messy beard comforting himself.

"No, I'm not nervous. I know it's a minor injury, but I want to know if I can play in the next game..."

"If you insist on fighting, then of course there will be no problem. It's just back spasm. You can fight with the injury."

Anxi breathed a sigh of relief, finally reaching the Eastern Conference Finals, but he didn't want to withdraw from the game due to injury.

However, the team doctor glanced at Anxi, who seemed to be relaxed, and asked helplessly: "Are you really prepared to fight with injuries?"

Anxi began to arrange his clothes. While doing so, he said lightly: "No way, the Pacers are not that easy to deal with. I have to play."

"But back spasm is not a serious injury. I will almost recover after two games of rest."

Anxi still shook his head: "No, if I take two games off, it will be too late."

Indeed, facing a powerful opponent like the Pacers, if Anxi rests for two games, the total score will definitely become 0:2. Even if the 76ers beat the Heat, whether it is the depth of the bench or the strength of the team, once there is a lack of Without Anxi, the 76ers are not even as good as this year's Lakers.

Anxi rejected the team doctor's suggestion of a truce, and he must play in the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Pacers are strong this season, ranking first in the Eastern Conference in the regular season. They also have a win or loss against the 76ers in the regular season. The games between the two teams have always been very tense, but the 76ers have a slight advantage.

Of course, this is when Anxi is on the court, and the 76ers have a slight advantage. If Anxi is not present, the 76ers will lose miserably.

The Pacers went quite smoothly in the playoffs. They defeated their opponents 4:2 to advance to the next round. Compared to the 76ers, they swept the 76ers 4:0 in the first round, but were dragged into the tiebreaker by the Heat in the second round. They were considered in the Eastern Conference Finals. Before, I was slightly at a physical disadvantage.

But now, Anxi's strength has been greatly improved after several upgrades, and even the system was promoted to perfection.

But now for the 76ers,

The hidden worry is Anxi's sudden injury. Although it is just a back spasm, the back spasm is equivalent to a back cramp. The pain is still very scary, and it will definitely affect the state. Once the two sides are offset, Anxi's strength will be similar to the regular season.

Therefore, for the 76ers, the series against the Pacers is still relatively difficult, especially the first two games.

For the next round of the series, Brett Brown has also done a lot of homework. The Heat, the biggest rival in the Eastern Conference, has been killed by the 76ers. The only opponent before the finals is the Pacers. Faced with the temptation of the finals, The 76ers are definitely excited and determined to win, because after winning the series with the Heat, the 76ers have slightly surpassed the Pacers in terms of strength.

But Brett Brown also knew about Anxi's back spasm. When he heard that Anxi was going to fight with injuries, his first reaction was a little hesitant, but he soon agreed, because the current 76ers really cannot do without Anxi.

For the Pacers, Brett Brown focused on the defense of Paul George. The Pacers' biggest strength now is Paul George, who can score and assist a lot, but in terms of personal ability, Paul George is still somewhat behind Bianxi.

However, the advantage of the Pacers over the 76ers is that, in addition to Paul George, the Pacers also have many first-class scoring strengths, such as David West in the paint, and Lance Stephenson, who has exploded this season.

Roy Hibbert was also selected to the All-Star this season, but Roy Hibbert is just a product of this era of weak centers. Facing a team with poor inside lines, Roy Hibbert can abuse him, such as the former Two seasons against the Heat.

But against the 76ers, a team with Asik and Pau Gasol inside, Roy Hibbert is not so strong.

Therefore, the most important thing for the 76ers to pay attention to is Paul George. For Paul George, Brett Brown was originally going to let Anxi defend against him, but considering Anxi's injury, he made a change and asked Jae Crowder to defend. Paul George, the injured Anxi only needs to focus on the offensive end.

As for the tactical play, it is even simpler.

The Pacers have David West and Roy Hibbert on the inside, and Luis Scola on the bench. It is obviously impossible to play fast break, and Frank Vogel's team has always been a traditional team. For teams that play offensive and defensive positions, the team's style is more defensive.

So against the Pacers, the 76ers only need to be themselves.

On May 20, 2014, the 76ers only rested for two days after finishing the Eastern Conference semifinals before rushing to Indianapolis to start their journey to the Eastern Conference Finals.

This time, they played first as a guest and then as a home team. Without the home field advantage, the pressure was still slightly greater.

Conseco Arena is also a famous home stadium for the Devils in the league. It is the Energy Solutions Arena (Jazz) in the West and Conseco in the East. The crazy nature of the Indiana people gives Conseco Arena even more craziness.

Of course, the Palace of Auburn Hills could once compete with Conseco, but with the decline of the Pistons in the past two years, as well as the economic recession and bankruptcy of Detroit, the popularity of basketball at the Palace of Auburn Hills is no longer what it used to be.

At the Conseco Arena, as the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals was about to begin, Anxi's ears were filled with boos and abuses from crazy Pacers fans.

Before the start of the game, Anxi's injury also attracted attention. His back spasm pain improved slightly after applying ice, but he would still feel obvious pain once he made big movements, but Anxi insisted on taking care of the injury. Fighting, the team has nothing to do.

Brett Brown could only give more instructions to Anxi: "Anxi, we don't need you to do much in this game, just do your offense well and trust your teammates."

Regarding what Brett Brown said, Anxi naturally understood that before the start of this game, Anxi had been prepared to only shoot for the entire game. After all, a breakthrough is a big move, and there will definitely be confrontation when breaking into the inside, which is even more of a big move. .

He is fighting through injuries now, not just to make them worse after two games.

"Anxi, are you ready? This is a showdown between you and me..." The game was about to begin. When the two teams started walking to the center of the field, Paul George pointed at Anxi and said.

Anxi smiled: "Of course, come over here!"

The game started when both sides exchanged harsh words...

The 76ers' starting lineup has returned to its original form, with point guard McAway, shooting guard An Xi, small forward Jae Crowder, power forward Pau Gasol and center Omer Asik. As long as they are not playing fast breaks, Omer Asik Sigg's protection of the basket is still very important.

The Pacers have a lineup of point guard George Hill, shooting guard Lance Stephenson, small forward Paul George, power forward David West and center Roy Hibbert.

In fact, looking at the starting lineup of the two teams, there is not a big gap in strength between the two teams. The main gap should be between Anxi and Paul George.

At the beginning of the game, Roy Hibbert won the jump ball and the Pacers took the lead.

George Hill took the ball to the frontcourt and waved Paul George to come out from the bottom corner.

When Paul George reached the top of the arc through David West's screen, George Hill passed the basketball with a ground pass.

Facing Jae Crowder's defense, Paul George's first shot was very simple. After signaling David West to set a pick-and-roll for him again, he rushed into the three-point line and made a pull-up jump shot.

This is the way Paul George is best at scoring. After leaping inside the three-point line to shoot a jumper, the basketball goes hollow into the net.

Paul George scored in the opening game, and the Conseco Arena erupted in cheers. The cheers were piercing. From the beginning of the game, the crazy Indiana people turned the Conseco Arena into a devil's home stadium.

Immediately after the 76ers' attack, McAway advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, Anxi ambushed in the bottom corner, and the one guarding Anxi was Paul George.

The Pacers still attach great importance to Anxi. The fact that Anxi fought with injuries has not been announced. The Pacers still believe that the current Anxi is the Anxi who scored 45 points in the Eastern Conference semifinals tiebreaker and nearly quadruple-double data. Naturally, it goes without saying that they attach great importance to Anxi. .

On the 76ers' first kick, Anxi circled from the inside, passed the screen of Pau Gasol, and rushed to the three-point line to catch and shoot.

When Anxi jumped up from the floor, his back felt sore, but he resisted the pain and shot the basketball.

Paul George's defense was very good. When Anxi took action, he had already caught up and interfered with Anxi's goal.

Injured and disturbed, Anxi's first shot in the opening game ended with a bang.

Anxi frowned. It seemed that the situation was not as smooth as expected. The back spasm had a great impact on him... (To be continued.)
