Super Role Player

In the first game of the finals, Anxi once again entered individual mode. In fact, it was not that he had to enter individual mode to continue to play individual singles, but facing the Spurs, the team needed Anxi to step up and play singles and create opportunities.

Anxi scored like crazy throughout the game, and in the second half he continued to hold the ball to create space. Although he lost the game, Anxi proved himself. His score was the highest for the 76ers and the highest in the game.

The second-leading scorer for the 76ers was Pau Gasol, but he only scored 19 points, and also had 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks. His performance was pretty good.

As for the Spurs, everyone was on the same team, and everyone's score was not high. Duncan, the top scorer, scored 21 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, which was a rivalry with Pau Gasol.

Kawhi Leonard scored 19 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, Ginobili scored 16 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists, Tony Parker scored 15 points and 9 assists, and the top three in GDP, Leonard, scored 71 points together. Coupled with Tiago Splitter, Danny Green and Marco Belinelli who also scored in double figures, 7 Spurs scored in double figures, and finally defeated the 76ers with team efforts.

Although Anxi was a little disappointed after losing the game, overall, his mood was not affected too much. After all, this game was held at the Spurs' home court, so losing was not surprising, and the team fought until the end. In the end, the winner was decided at the end of the game, which shows that the 76ers still have a chance to defeat the Spurs.

After the game, Anxi chatted and laughed with several old Spurs teammates. The tense atmosphere of the game dissipated after the game.

Tony Parker invited Anxi to have a meal after the game, but considering that the two teams were still rivals and blatantly went out for dinner after the game, there was no guarantee that the media would not make some annoying reports, so Anxi declined the invitation. .

The Spurs won the game, and after the game, Anxi's name was written on the front page.

"43 points in the first game of the finals, but Anxi's incredible statistics failed to win..."

"The Spurs won at home, Anxi stole the show with 43 points."

"The Spurs team basketball won, and the lone hero swallowed the bitter fruit of defeat with 43 points."

Almost every headline carries Anxi's name. It can be said that the Spurs won the game, but the real attention in the first game of the finals was focused on Anxi.

Anxi's total statistics for this game are 43 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. Except for scoring, other statistics did not reach double figures, but such a statistic is still quite terrifying. 4 rebounds are not too much, but 9 assists are really a lot. This means that in the whole game, the 76ers got Among the 101 points, Anxi alone scored at least 61 points.

The data on the defensive end is even more terrifying, with 4 steals and 2 blocks, which means Anxi dominates the defensive end alone.

As for the defeat in this game, domestic fans believed that the 76ers lost as a whole.

"Obviously, the Spurs have become a whole. The Spurs as a whole, even Anxi who scored 43 points and 9 assists, cannot lead the team to win. Overall, the 76ers are more than one step behind the Spurs. , although coach Brett Brown also comes from the Spurs, it is obvious that he has not been able to build the 76ers into a whole. In many cases, the 76ers still rely heavily on Anxi's individual singles, and this is not enough when facing the Spurs as a whole. It seems inefficient.”

This is Hupu Da v Dusk Star's high-level argument, and I have to say that what he said is still very reasonable. Throughout the entire first game, the 76ers relied on Anxi's individual singles to seek opportunities.

Although the Spurs' play is a bit more complicated and requires precise cooperation between players, chances are more likely, and the offensive end is unfavorable.

As a well-known security guard, a fan named Huowu Lianxin with the ID of Hupu said: "43 points were scored from Kawhi Leonard's head.

This is not an easy achievement. You must know that Kawhi Leonard has shown his talent on the defensive end this season. Kawhi Leonard has defended too many super swingmen this season. Even LeBron James suffered at the hands of Kawhi Leonard, but Anxi scored 43 points under Kawhi Leonard's defense in the finals where the competition was more intense. Already..."

There was a lot of discussion after the game, but soon some fans discovered that although the Spurs won the game, Anxi received the most attention after the game. If Anxi is Chinese, major domestic forums will naturally pay more attention to Anxi. , this is not surprising, then in North America, there are only hundreds of thousands of discussions about the Spurs on Twitter, Facebook and IG, while there are tens of millions of discussions about Anxi.

ESPN's Mark Stein explained the reason for this phenomenon: "Anxi scored 43 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks in the first game. The overall data exceeded other players by two levels. The Spurs performed best. The player is Tim Duncan, and the 76ers' player second only to Anxi is Pau Gasol. The performance of the two of them is quite satisfactory. If one of them can score more than 30 points, maybe there will not be so many people discussing Anxi. too much."

"But now it is obvious that Anxi scored 43 points, a high score far higher than others. If this game does not count the result, it is a complete personal performance of Anxi!"

Just when the whole world was discussing the outbreak of the first game of the finals in Anxi, Time Magazine announced the cover of the latest issue of the magazine, with Anxi on the cover.

Anxi didn't know the picture chosen for the cover, but Time magazine's picture selection was still very good. They directly chose a poster picture of the 76ers defeating the Heat in the seventh game. At Wachovia Arena, Anxi held up his victory. Hands, surrounded by 76ers players and fans cheering wildly, and behind them are the backs of the Heat players who left lonely.

The title of the cover is - "Ask Anxi Again - The Growth Path of a Chinese Superstar"

Turning to the inner page, the content is divided into two pages. One page is the new Ten Questions Anxi, and the other page details the growth path of Anxi, from the functional players of UConn to the sudden rise of the Spurs. From a defensive defender on the perimeter, to the Sixth Man of the Year in the second season, and finally this season, Anxi grew into a superstar amidst the screams of exclamation.

With this announcement from Time Magazine, Anxi, which had just scored 43 points in the finals, became popular again.

"The growth path of Anxi's superstar! It's indeed a bit legendary. Kemba Walker was hired by Kemba Walker when he was at the University of Connecticut. It was predicted that he would definitely lose the draft. However, the Spurs recognized talents and selected Anxi. During the lockout period, After that, go directly to sign Anxi."

"Succeeded at the beginning of the season and became the league's top perimeter defender. In the second season, he became the best sixth man. In the third season, he became one of the top three players in the league. Such a growth path is really legendary. !”

On the domestic side, CCTV's NBA frontline program, the first Anxi special program, was also broadcast as scheduled.

The program was named "A Day Without Games in Anxi". From the interview with Time Magazine in the morning, when the honor showroom in Anxi was photographed, the online live broadcast was full of amazement.

Then when Anxi ate meat for lunch, domestic fans even screamed in surprise.

"Eat so much? No wonder your body is so beastly!"

Then, the crazy training in the afternoon made the domestic fans stunned. After thinking about it carefully, eating so much for lunch really requires a lot of training in the afternoon to digest it.

In the evening, Anxi ate much less. Just when everyone was surprised, it turned out that Anxi canceled the extra training plan that night and sat in front of the TV to watch Game 6 between the Spurs and the Thunder. He had no time to train, so naturally he couldn't train in the evening. Eat so much...
