Super Role Player

Chapter 222 There is still a chance

Scarlett really appeared, the camera flashed past, and Scarlett's beautiful face appeared on the big screen above the arena.

Everyone at the scene exclaimed, it turned out that the die-hard fan who was crazily speaking for Anxi on Twitter was Scarlett!

Hollywood superstar-Scarlett Johansson!

Henry Abbott was a little excited. He felt excited when he thought that the person he was betting on was actually Scarlett Johansson, the big star in Hollywood. It was the Scarlett Johansson who Kevin Durant wanted to drink the bath water from.

If the Spurs win this game, Henry Abbott will not only receive US$500,000 equivalent to half a year's salary, but also gain a lot of attention. For a reporter who aims to improve his reputation, a bet will Such a harvest was enough to make him feel excited and excited.

Scarlett Johansson completely ignored the strange looks from the Spurs fans on the sidelines. After cheering loudly, she sat down on her own.

"I didn't expect Scarlett Johansson to be a die-hard fan of Anxi. This is big news!" Kenny Smith in the commentary box was also a little surprised, while Shaquille O'Neal, who is good at playing tricks on players, continued with a smirk. : "I really don’t know what kind of crazy things Kevin Durant will do after hearing about this..."

At this time, there are many fans who think of Kevin Durant. Durant’s Twitter was immediately flooded with messages. Your goddess is about to be snatched away by Anxi. What else can you do? Go to Anxi for help and order some Scarlett. Li’s bath water, and other teasing replies emerged one after another.

The game continued. After the Spurs' timeout, the first thing was that their offense was more stable than before. The success rate of the slow-paced offense was still very high.

Tony Parker broke through and scored the ball. Danny Green received the ball and wanted to take a shot. He shook Jack Crowder. After the breakthrough, he attracted the defense and passed the ball toward the inside. Tiago Split easily put the basketball into the basket.

At 12:6, the Spurs have stabilized the situation that gradually collapsed at the beginning.

The game continued, and the 76ers played much smoother in this game. Anxi also rarely felt relaxed. He gradually rarely took strong shots and would distribute the ball when double-teamed. The 76ers also played well.

At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers led the Spurs by 4 points, 26:22.

Anxi scored 8 points in the first quarter, plus 3 assists and 1 steal. The performance was relatively dull, but the team took the lead, which is a good thing for the 76ers.

But starting from the second quarter, the Spurs, who gradually entered the state, accelerated.

After all, the 76ers are not going to be fast. As long as the Spurs speed up, the 76ers will be a little overwhelmed.

In the first half of the second quarter, Anxi continued to play, and the development of the game was somewhat beyond his expectation.

The Spurs started with a quick attack. New Marco Belinelli caught the ball and shot, hitting a 2-pointer to narrow the point difference to 2 points.

He turned around and blocked the 76ers' attack, and then used the time difference between blocking the attack and grabbing rebounds to launch a fast-break counterattack by the 76ers, evening the point difference.

The Spurs suddenly accelerated. Brett Brown did not call a timeout. After all, the game had just begun. He did not need to call a timeout immediately. He just waved his hand on the sidelines to signal the team to pay attention to the success rate of the offense and control the rhythm.

In the second quarter, McAway had already played because Anxi was also present. After he dribbled the ball through half the court, he handed the basketball to Anxi.

With Anxi holding the ball, the Spurs' defensive strategy returned to the stage of resolute double-teaming. Because McAway was on the court, the 76ers lost a threatening three-pointer from the outside.

Marco Belinelli and Kawhi Leonard began to flank Anxi as they pleased.

For this ball, Anxi did not choose to pass the ball. Unless it was an excellent opportunity, Anxi felt that it would be better for him to force the ball himself.

So after leaning on Kawhi Leonard, Anxi swayed, jumped up, and shot a fadeaway jumper.

Kawhi Leonard rushed forward quickly, Marco Belinelli took a step slower,

With his arms raised, he watched Anxi avoid Kawhi Leonard's interference and throw the ball toward the basket.

The moment the two of them landed, there was a swish sound and the basketball hit the net.

The ball went in!

The 76ers regained the lead, and Scarlett suddenly stood up again, but this time she didn't dance, she just clapped her hands, and then sat down again.

Anxi did not celebrate. After all, the Spurs are where his career began. In the ATT Arena, limited celebrations are allowed, but too many excessive celebrations are not.

The Spurs then started to attack. Manu Ginobili, who was a guest point guard, dodged Francisco Garcia's defense enchantingly. Then he made a European step and evaded Anxi's defense and rushed in. Successful layup inside.

The score difference was evened.

In the 76ers' offense, after Anxi held the ball to attract double-teams, he turned around and suddenly jumped up, seemingly about to take a backward shot again.

Kawhi Leonard rushed forward, and Marco Belinelli jumped up in time this time, but Anxi surprisingly threw the basketball into the penalty area.

In the penalty area, it was McAway who cut through the penalty area.

McAway performed poorly in the finals, and even fell to the bench in this game. The Spurs naturally paid less attention to the 76ers' third scoring point in the regular season. Who would have thought that McAway actually passed after coming off the bench? With his own running, he quietly reached the penalty area and then received a pass from Anxi.

Anxi's pass was very soft and went directly to McAway's hands.

After McAway caught the ball, he pulled it up and dunked the basketball into the basket.

McAway is also close to two meters tall. He is considered a tall point guard. His dunk under the basket is not too strenuous. After he dunked successfully, he scored his first point of the game.

Then, the Spurs launched another wave of offense. Manu Ginobili broke through with a European step, attracted the defense, and then passed a cross pass to Kawhi Leonard, who also cut into the penalty area with an air cut. Nader pulled up and made another dunk.

It brought the atmosphere at the ATT Arena to a climax.

The score was tied again, and the next game was like repeating the process. The 76ers took the lead, the Spurs equalized, and Anxi continued to use his personal offense to get good scoring opportunities.

For Henry Abbott, such a game was painful to watch.

He bet $500,000 on this game. Maybe for Scarlett, $500,000 is nothing, but for Henry Abbott, this $500,000 is half his life. .

What he would rather see in the game is that the Spurs widen the point difference in a wave, instead of constantly being tied like they are now, or even the 76ers occasionally taking the lead.

Watching such a game, Henry Abbott's heart would stop beating.

Scarlett doesn't feel this way. On the one hand, for her, 500,000 US dollars is really nothing. On the other hand, the main reason is that even the current game makes Scarlett very comfortable to watch, because the game Fighting like this is enough to satisfy her.

The game reached the second half of the second quarter, and the score was still anxious. Seeing Anxi's physical fitness declining, Brett Brown hesitated for a while and replaced Anxi.

After all, McAway and Anxi played well together on several goals in this game. It seemed that the game was in good shape. Brett Brown decided to hand over the second half of the second quarter to McAway and Pau Gasol. .

But after the substitutions and the game restarted, the situation was different.

The 76ers lost Anxi, the most threatening offensive point on the perimeter, and the Spurs' defensive pressure was greatly reduced, and they immediately put defensive pressure on McAway.

Then, within two minutes after Anxi left the field, the 76ers were overtaken by the Spurs, but they still struggled to maintain the situation on the court.

But soon, the Spurs counterattacked with a fast break. After scoring, they kicked off their own momentum. A wave of 10:3 offensive climax expanded the point difference to 8 points in one fell swoop.

The climax of this wave of offense suddenly made Brett Brown a little anxious, and he immediately called a timeout.

Watching McAway and Pau Gasol slowly walk off the court, Brett Brown shook his head. Sure enough, the 76ers are now suffering from Anxi dependence. Without Anxi present, the 76ers' offense immediately collapsed.

Brett Brown looked at Anxi, who had just rested for more than 4 minutes, and waved his hand: "Anxi, come on!"

Since the 76ers are suffering from Anxi dependence, the best way to solve the current disadvantage on the field is naturally to replace Anxi.

Anxi also rested for more than four minutes and regained some physical strength. He returned to the battle, but at this time, the Spurs were already 8 points ahead, and the situation was still slightly unfavorable for the 76ers.

But Anxi didn't care. In this game, to be precise, he hadn't exerted much strength yet.

In this game, before falling behind, the 76ers played very smoothly and did not need Anxi's efforts at all. But now, the time has come for the team to need Anxi's efforts to step up.

During the timeout, Henry Abbott felt a little excited. The Spurs began to take the lead. He felt that the 76ers were about to collapse.

Seeing Anxi take off his training coat and play again, Henry Abbott didn't care. He felt that the Spurs were starting to exert their strength and this game would gradually lose suspense like the previous games.

Anxi moved his muscles a few times after coming out, and then received the basketball from the backcourt.

Then, he controlled the ball for half the game and began to direct his teammates' movements.

Brett Brown turned the lineup into something similar to the one in the first quarter, with James Anderson and Francisco Garcia on the wings, and Antawn Jamison and Cole Aldridge in the paint.

But in fact, compared to the lineup in the first quarter, this lineup is still a little behind. The main gap lies in Antawn Jamison. Jamison is not as good as Gasol in terms of the quality of cover and personal offensive threat. .

Therefore, when Anxi was holding the ball from the outside, the Spurs did not double-team. When Anxi rushed inside with a cross step, Boris Diaw rushed over directly and cooperated with Danny Green to complete the double-team on Anxi.

Anxi chose to pass the ball. Now the 76ers have three three-point shooters on the field. Anxi feels that the passing option is better, and maybe he can pass the three-pointer opportunity.

After the ball was passed, he did get a three-point opportunity, but James Anderson, who made three three-pointers in the first quarter, missed the shot.

Anxi didn't care if he missed a three-pointer. No one can make every shot.

After the Spurs grabbed the rebound, the 76ers quickly retreated. However, after the instability in the first quarter, the Spurs' offense has now become very stable. Manu Ginobili held the ball and flew into the paint. , Anxi moved sideways to cover, but Ginobili passed the ball back.

After giving it to Boris Diaw in the high post, Boris Diaw moved laterally and passed the ball hand to hand to Danny Green who ran to the top of the arc without the ball.

Danny Green used Diaw's screen to shake off Jae Crowder and hit a three-pointer with a bang!

The Spurs played another wave of successful tactics and scored 3 points, opening the point difference to double digits in one fell swoop.

Henry Abbott cheered along with the Spurs fans in the stadium. Although the half was not over yet, it seemed that it was only a matter of time before the Spurs won this game and won the O'Brien Cup.

Anxi glanced at the scoreboard above his head. He once again held the ball from the backcourt. With this ball, Anxi did not hesitate. He made a very fast single, leaning on Danny Green, and before Boris Diaw's double-team arrived, he directly hit the ball. Turn around and shoot a fadeaway jumper - a personal stunt of despair, just like that.

Danny Green tried his best to interfere, but Anxi had already planned the shot. He aimed at the basket early, and the basketball naturally hit the net without any doubt.

Anxi scored and the point difference was reduced to 9 points.

Then, during the Spurs' attack, Manu Ginobili hit a mid-range shot, widening the point difference to 11 points again.

Anxi showed no sign of weakness and turned around to shoot another fadeaway jumper.

The score difference is back to 9 points.

Then, the Spurs continued to attack successfully, and Boris Diaw inside turned around and hit a layup.

Anxi turned around and used his back to hold the ball to attract the defense. After distributing the ball, he assisted Francisco Garcia to hit a three-pointer.

The score difference became 8 points.

In the next round, the two teams fought one after another.

In the end, at the end of halftime, the 76ers and Spurs tied at 58:50, with the Spurs still leading by 8 points.

In the third quarter of the game, Anxi played at the beginning and continued to help the team stabilize the situation. However, Anxi left the game to rest in the second half. The Spurs took advantage of this opportunity to widen the point difference to 15 points.

This 15-point lead was maintained by the Spurs until the fourth quarter.

Knowing that with 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Spurs still maintained a lead of about 15 points.

Henry Abbott's heart was about to beat out of his chest. There were only 5 minutes left before the Spurs won the game and he won the bet with Scarlett.

With a score difference of 15 points, Henry Abbott felt that there were no surprises in this game. This is not to say that this score difference is safe, but looking at the situation on the court, the 76ers had no chance to regain the score.

Henry Abbott looked at Scarlett Johansson in the distance, and he found that the Hollywood superstar was still sitting in his seat with a calm look.

Henry Abbott snorted coldly: "Huh, little girl, when the game is over, let's see if you can still be so calm!"

After thinking about it, Henry Abbott felt that it was not good enough. Amidst the din of the ATT Arena, he took out his mobile phone and sent a tweet: "Spurs! Championship!"

Then he called Scarlett and Scarlett's big number in the back, and directly asked Scarlett when she would cash in her bet. Obviously, although the game was not over yet, Henry Abbott already felt that he was sure to win.

At this time, Anxi was still fighting hard on the court. With a 15-point difference, there was still a chance!

Anxi also has a big trump card in his hand!
