Super Role Player

The fourth game of the Finals at Wachovia Arena began, with all the main players of the two teams out.

At the beginning of the game, Anxi felt the Spurs' strict defense against him, and the intensity of the defense was even higher than in the previous game.

As long as Anxi gets the ball, there will be a double team immediately. If Anxi breaks through hard, the Spurs will even use a crazy three-person attack to stop Anxi.

This completely means not giving Anxi any singles chance.

However, Anxi ignored this level of defense in the opening game, constantly taking the ball with his back in the mid-range, and then made tough fadeaway jumpers against two defenders.

It's just that this style of play is still much lower in terms of offensive efficiency compared to the changeable offensive method in the previous battle. And the consumption of physical energy is also huge.

So after seven or eight minutes in the first quarter, the score continued to be anxious, and Anxi began to increase his passing. With the Spurs constantly double-teaming themselves, passing was obviously the better choice.

In this way, the game looked a bit like the first two games of the Finals. In the first two games of the Finals, Anxi held the ball to attract flankers and then passed the ball, but the 76ers lost both games.

In the second quarter, when the Spurs' offensive became more intense, Anxi continued to withstand strong defensive shots and hit points. The game continued until the beginning of the third quarter, and the two teams were still tied.

But from the beginning of the third quarter, Anxi left the court to rest. The Spurs seized the opportunity and launched a fast-break counterattack. They opened the third quarter with a 17:8 score, widening the point difference in one fell swoop.

In the third quarter, the 76ers suddenly collapsed. Although Anxi came back on the court in the middle of the third quarter, the Spurs' fast break had already taken off, and the momentum was somewhat irresistible. Moreover, the 76ers' outside shooters were collectively inaccurate in this game. James Anderson and the others seemed to be completely unable to find the basket.

In this way, Anxi's appearance was in vain. Manu Ginobili's two points widened the point difference to 2 points. Then, Anxi also scored, narrowing the point difference to 9 points again.

But Danny Green turned around and responded with a three-pointer, and then used double double teams to prevent Anxi's fadeaway jumper.

Although the score expanded very slowly, by the end of the third quarter, the Spurs still had a 15-point lead.

Then in the fourth quarter, the Spurs took advantage of the 76ers' weak period to further widen the point difference.

The game continued until there were 4 minutes left before the end of the game, and the 76ers were already 22 points behind.

Brett Brown replaced Anxi, who had been resting for two minutes, on the field again, hoping to chase the score, although it seemed that the 76ers had no hope of winning this game.

After Anxi came on the field, he held the ball from the outside and beat Kawhi Leonard for a goal. After taking the ball with his back, he shot backward.

The basketball drew a perfect parabola and fell cleanly into the basket.

"Beautiful goal, the point difference was reduced to 20 points!"

"This goal was scored very cleanly. Although it has no impact on the outcome of the game, in this game, we have to lament that Anxi seems to have improved again. His fadeaway jumper looks sharper."

Director Zhang and Yu Jia continued to praise Anxi. Regardless of whether the 76ers lost this game, Anxi was the one who should not be criticized after the game.

So far in this game, Anxi has taken 33 shots, hit 13 goals, and scored 34 points. His personal score has exceeded 30 points.

But obviously, compared to the previous game, Anxi's efficiency in this game was not that high, and even a little lower. The number of shots was the same, but the scoring and shooting rate was far behind, and the shooting rate was not even 40%. , and the score dropped a lot as a result.

The reason for all this is because of the Spurs' closed defense against Anxi in this game. They left almost no room for singles in Anxi. In this way, they could face the opponent's double attack and make all kinds of strong shots. , the efficiency naturally cannot be too high.

In addition, the 76ers' outside shooters failed to shoot accurately.

In the final stages of this game, it is not surprising that the Spurs led by 20 points.

With three and a half minutes left in the game, the 76ers launched another wave of offense. Anxi continued to make strong backward shots, but failed to hit this time.

With 34 points on 34 shots, Anxi's efficiency in this game is indeed not good.

Then, the Spurs attacked and scored another 2 points, and the point difference widened to 22 points.

Then, when the 76ers served from the backcourt, McAway handed the basketball to Anxi and prepared to start another attack.

The game time came to the 9th minute of the fourth quarter, which means that there are only the last 3 minutes left before the end of the game.

Anxi had just received the basketball and was about to lean on Kawhi Leonard with his back, and when he started to post up again, a system that had never appeared in the game suddenly appeared in front of Anxi's eyes.

"Ding! There are 3 minutes left in the game, and the host is 22 points behind. Do you want to consume a glory pool and get a 200% attribute bonus for the next 3 minutes?"

Under a prompt, the option of Yes or No appeared. Anxi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. This may be one of the many ways to use the Glory Pool, but the 200% attribute bonus in the last 3 minutes... Anxi hesitated for a while and finally chose No.

There are 3 minutes left in the game. Based on an offensive round of 16 seconds, there are up to 12 offensive rounds, divided between two teams, each team has 6 times. Even in these 6 attacks, Anxi's shots are all three-pointers. , and if every shot must be scored, it will only be 18 points. Even if the Spurs cannot score a point in the next three minutes, as long as the Spurs honestly delay the attack time, the 76ers will not be able to recover from the 22-point deficit.

Therefore, Anxi rationally chose No.

As a result, the 76ers ultimately lost the game. There is no doubt that they fell behind by 22 points in the last 3 minutes. Unless there was a miracle, it would be impossible to complete the comeback.

119:102, the Spurs finally won by 17 points. In the last 3 minutes, the 76ers recovered 5 points, but this could not affect the Spurs' victory. Anxi made two more shots in the last three minutes, and both of them were successful. , the personal statistics of this game are also fixed, 15 of 36 shots, the field goal percentage returned to more than 40% at the last moment, scoring 38 points, another high score, although the efficiency is not high, but combined with the previous three games Contest.

Someone exclaimed: Anxi is performing the most powerful individual performance in the history of the finals!

In the first game, he had 43 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. In the second game, he had 34 points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks. In the third game, he had 64 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks. Blocks, plus 38 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in this game. In the first four games of the finals, regardless of winning or losing, Anxi averaged 44.75 points, 4.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 3.0 steals and 1.75 blocks is absolutely phenomenal data.

But unfortunately, the 76ers were already behind 1:3 in the finals.

At the end of the game, Micah looked a little frustrated. Throughout the playoffs, his performance rarely shined. In the finals, he even didn't perform well. In the four games of the finals, Micah Wei's shooting percentage is only 34.5%, which is very bleak.

At the end of the game, boos were everywhere in the Wachovia Arena. McAway lowered his head. Obviously, he began to blame himself. McAway performed well in the regular season and was once the 76ers' second-choice player at the beginning of the season. , even if Pau Gasol later joined, he was still the third offensive option in the 76ers, but in the playoffs, in some games, McAway's offensive performance was even worse than James Anderson on the bench.

Not to mention the defensive end, Tony Parker often performs one-step past McAway's floaters or pull-up jumpers, which is like a big loophole on the defensive end.

The frustrated McAway fell into complete self-blame, and Anxi walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Michael, we haven't lost yet, cheer up and play well in the next game."

McAway listened to Anxi's comfort and nodded.

…

The 76ers lost Game 4. The loss of this game meant that the Spurs got the match point in the Finals. They were only one game away from the O'Brien Cup.

"The 76ers were defeated at home, and the Spurs are on track to win three consecutive championships!"

"Anxi can't support itself, but the Spurs are in sight of winning the championship!"

"Team basketball wins, there is no future if you play alone!"

…

After the game, the media began to report on the results of Game 4 of the Finals. Without exception, after the Spurs won another game to get the match point, the media reporters' trend changed. After all, the Spurs were only one victory away from winning. They can win the O'Brien Cup, and in history, there has never been a comeback when leading 3:1 in the finals.

Therefore, after this game, the well-known gambling company BPI gave the latest probability of the Spurs 76ers winning the championship.

At the beginning of the series, BPI believed that the Spurs had a 60% chance of winning, and the 76ers had a 40% chance.

After the first two games, the Spurs' chance of winning soared to 80%, while the 76ers only had 20% left.

Then, the 76ers won the third game, and the Spurs' chance of winning dropped back to 60%, while the 76ers' chance of winning naturally became 40%.

Now, after the Spurs won Game 4 and led the series 3:1, BPI believes that the Spurs have a 97% chance of winning the championship. In other words, they believe that the Spurs have a 97% chance of defending the title, while the 76ers have a comeback. The probability is only 3%.

Even this probability was ridiculed by ESPN. ESPN expert Henry Abbott jumped out again. He believed: "The BPI is too high to look at the 76ers. There has never been a 1:3 comeback in the history of the Finals." For example, the 76ers obviously can't do this, so I think a reasonable probability should be that the Spurs win the championship 99.9% of the time, and the 76ers make a comeback 0.01% of the time, and the probability of a comeback is negligible."

As for the three remaining games in the finals, BPI believes that the 76ers have only a 2% chance of winning in Game 5. The chance of winning in Game 6 is even higher, reaching 8%, and the 76ers have a chance of winning in Game 7. The probability of winning the ball is a little lower, only 7%. All in all, after losing the fourth game of the finals, no one is optimistic about the 76ers.

And BPI's predictions for the next possible three games were once again ridiculed by Henry Abbott.

"Don't be ridiculous, there are three games left in the Finals? There is obviously only one game left! Does anyone still think that the 76ers can win at the Spurs' home court? Don't be naive! The odds of the 76ers winning in Game 5 , 0.01%, no more!”

After the 76ers lost Game 4, Henry Abbott acted like a successful villain, constantly mocking the 76ers on his social networking sites.

But this kind of ridicule is very unpleasant, because no matter how the 76ers lose, at least the 76ers can reach the finals, which is already a success.

Therefore, many 76ers fans cursed Henry Abbott on social networking sites, and some neutral fans also persuaded Henry Abbott not to laugh at the 76ers so much under Henry Abbott's various tweets.

But Henry Abbott obviously had no intention of stopping. He looked at the replies on his Twitter and sent another tweet: "The 76ers are losers. They were brutally beaten by the Spurs. Why can't I laugh at them?" ?Some people say that Anxi should not be criticized, oh no, this is simply a joke, why can’t Anxi be criticized?”

"Are you all the kind of fans who only look at statistics? Indeed, Anxi's statistics are very beautiful, but if you can't win, what's the use?"

…

Scarlett had just finished her work. Half lying on the sofa, she started to scroll through Twitter. After scrolling for a while, she took out her second phone, logged into a small Twitter account, and quickly scrolled through it. got up.

"This Henry Abbott! Is he a piece of shit?" Scarlett couldn't help but feel furious after seeing Henry Abbott's various tweets.

He quickly tweeted: "Henry Abbott, do you dare to bet with me? For $500,000, I bet the 76ers will win the next game!"

Scarlett directly liked Henry Abbott, and then waited for a reply.

Henry Abbott naturally ignored the bet request from a Twitter account that seemed to have few fans, so Scarlett waited for a while, but still didn't get the result.

Scarlett was a little angry. She probably guessed the reason. In a fit of anger, she opened her large account, then directly found her own small account and forwarded it...

After the big number forwarded it, its popularity suddenly increased.

A large number of fans also came to help Aite Henry Abbott and issued various provocative words: "Henry Abbott, are you a coward?"

"You don't dare to accept a bet of 500,000 US dollars. It seems that you are just a keyboard warrior!"

When Henry Abbott saw so many provocative words, he was a little unconvinced. It was only $500,000, half a year's salary, and he could still afford this amount!

And after thinking about it carefully, Henry Abbott really couldn't think of how the 76ers could win the next game.

So, Henry Abbott replied to Scarlett’s tweet and agreed to the bet!

…

Scarlett is full of confidence. She believes in Anxi and believes that the 76ers will not collapse like this.

But for the 76ers, a loss at home gave the Spurs a match point, which means they must make more changes...

Anxi has also thought a lot about the next game. He feels that he can accept the team falling behind in the fourth quarter, but the point difference cannot be too big. Anxi has already set his sights on the two glory pools. Three Minutes of Glory Chi Jiacheng, if he is behind by more than ten points, he is still confident to catch up and turn defeat into victory!

At the same time, Scarlett has reached an agreement with Henry Abbott and agreed to appear at the ATT Arena together on the fifth game of the Finals to watch the game and cash in the bet.

At this time, there was also a lot of speculation about Scarlett's identity.

Who is this Anxi iron man who can make a huge bet of US$500,000?
