Super Role Player

After the memorable opening moment, Anxi became full of fighting spirit.

This game must be won!

The 76ers' opponent in this game was the New York Knicks. Carmelo Anthony waited until the championship rings were awarded before appearing on the court to warm up.

The New York Knicks are also considered a strong team. This season they invited Phil Jackson as president, Derek Fisher took over as head coach, and retained Carmelo Anthony. Although a series of operations are confusing, overall There has not been much loss of strength, so as long as Carmelo Anthony remains healthy, the Knicks are still quite optimistic.

They were ranked seventh in Zach Lowe's preseason predictions and were considered a team in the Eastern Conference playoff ranks.

In this game, the Knicks are also under a lot of pressure, but Carmelo Anthony has set his goal to win, and he wants to disrupt the 76ers' celebration ceremony.

Carmelo Anthony moved his hands and feet on the sidelines for a while, and the game was about to begin.

Anxi walked to the sidelines and said hello to Carmelo Anthony. The two hugged. Anxi lowered his head and closed his eyes for a while on the sidelines. When the referee walked to the center of the court with the basketball, Anxi changed from a posture similar to meditation. Breaking away from the state, he turned to look at Abby behind him with a smile.

Abby waved towards Anxi, and the corners of Anxi's mouth curved even more.

Then, shake hands and hug your teammates and opponents on the court one by one.

In this game, the 76ers' starting lineup remained unchanged, with point guard McAway, shooting guard An Xi, small forward Jae Crowder, power forward Pau Gasol and center Nerlens Noel.

For the Knicks, the starting point guard and the most controversial signing this summer, Jose Calderon, came to the Knicks in the Tyson Chandler trade, before Phil Jackson sent him away. The best defensive player was finally exchanged for an aging Spanish point guard Jose Calderon. It must be said that this transaction was very irrational.

The starting shooting guard is Iman Shumpert, a 3D combo guard, Carmelo Anthony is at the third position, and the interior is a combination of Amar'e Stoudemire and Samuel Dalembert.

This starting lineup seems to be lacking nothing, but many experts doubt the strength of several of the main players. For example, Sam Amick believes that the aging Jose Calderon and Samuel Dalembert Without the ability to start, Amar'e Stoudemire, who is suffering from injuries, may not have the ability to start.

But of course, everything still needs to be tested by competition.

There was a beep,

The referee throws the basketball into the sky and the game begins...

Young Nerlens Noel jumped up and stole the basketball from the aging Dalembert to win the ball for the first possession of the game.

Anxi reached out for the ball at the beginning. In this game, Anxi's desire to attack was unexpectedly strong.

Facing Iman Shumpert's defense, Anxi directly took the ball inside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side, took a step, looked up at the basket, and Anxi didn't even look at Iman Shumpert. Pull-up mid-range shot, direct shot.

Iman Shumpert also jumped up, but because Anxi's pull-up was sudden, his interference did not seem threatening.

With a swish sound, thunderous cheers and applause sounded, in!

Anxi clenched his fists, and on the first shot of the game, he shot a pull-up jumper that tested his hand, and finally made it. For the Knicks, the situation of this game was very difficult.

Derek Fisher took a few steps back and forth on the sidelines, then folded his arms in silence and watched the Knicks' offense.

Jose Calderon holds the ball, and Amarestadamire on the inside pulls up to the high post, receives the ball and starts to organize the offense. The Knicks' offense is a triangle offense, which is the fundamental tactic that Phil Jackson relies on to survive in the league. , Therefore, after coming to the Knicks, Phil Jackson asked the team to stick to this set of tactics.

Carmelo Anthony quickly moved, reversed, threw away Jae Crowder, and caught the basketball.

And using a pick-and-roll screen, a small-to-large mismatch was formed. He faced Pau Gasol. This is the role of the triangle tactic. Through some changes of positions, star players can get better singles opportunities.

With this ball, Carmelo Anthony also assumed a triple-threat posture. Then, with the same probing step, he took a step away from Pau Gasol, then suddenly accelerated and broke into the inside.

With Pau Gasol's somewhat reluctant follow-up defense, he got a layup.

With a beep, the referee whistled a defensive foul on Pau Gasol, but Anthony missed the subsequent layup.

Anthony went to the free throw line and made one of two free throws. The ball returned to the 76ers.

It was Anxi who still controlled the ball. He continued to take the ball inside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side, assumed a triple threat posture, and took another step. Iman Shumpert was unmoved and looked at Anxi intently. Basketball in hand.

Anxi immediately accelerated, broke through quickly, and rushed in.

The Knicks immediately double-teamed, and Anxi directly distributed the ball without thinking.

The moment Anxi distributed the ball, the Knicks immediately moved towards the outside to make up for it, but Anxi threw the ball towards the inside. Nolens Noel accelerated two steps from the mid-range, jumped up, caught the basketball in the air, and made a clang sound. Dunk the basketball hard into the basket.

With alley-oop cooperation, the 76ers scored two more points!

Wachovia Arena was jubilant.

Then, in the Knicks' offense, Jose Calderon controlled the rhythm and finally handed the basketball to Carmelo Anthony. Anthony started to single out Jae Crowder in the mid-range, a post-up single, and then turned over and shot a jumper with a swish sound. , in!

4:3, the Knicks trailed by 1 point.

Then, the game continues.

In the 76ers' offense, Anxi once again wanted to play basketball, another singles. The difference is that this time the singles started from outside the three-point line.

Anxi made a direct change of direction, trying to get ahead of others. After shaking away Iman Shumpert, he took a step back and took a step back jumper. The jumper was outside the three-point line. Iman Shumpert stretched. Long arms, but still failed to interfere with the ball.

With a snap, Anxi hit a three-pointer.

At 7:3, Anxi once again waved his long arms.

The Knicks' offense missed, Nerlens Noel grabbed the rebound and then passed the basketball to Anxi.

As soon as the game started, Iman Shumpert was sweating profusely. Facing Anxi, his defensive pressure was too great. The 76ers' first 7 points all came from Iman Shumpert. Then put it in.

Of course, it can't be regarded as a breakthrough. At least Anxi's pull-up was a forced shot. There is no big problem with Iman Shumpert's defense.

But now, Iman Shumpert's defensive pressure is even greater. If this ball continues to allow the 76ers to score, the score will be widened.

Anxi held the ball at the top of the arc, then suddenly turned his back, leaning on Iman Shumpert, and then began to advance with his back.

After advancing a few steps, the Knicks couldn't help it anymore and double-teamed them.

Anxi didn't hesitate at all. Taking advantage of the double team, he turned around and shot a fadeaway jumper.

Iman Shumpert impatiently stretched out his long arm to interfere. Anxi stopped in the air, aimed at the basket, and then pushed the basketball out.

With a swish sound, Wachovia Arena once again had a carnival.

The ball went in!

9:3, the 76ers led by 7 points at the beginning!

…

In the seventh minute of the first quarter, the 76ers led the Knicks by 12 points, 22:10.

Carmelo Anthony started to get impatient and fell behind by 12 points in the first quarter. The situation was not optimistic.

His goal is victory, but judging from the current situation, victory has become very difficult.

Anthony began to ask for the ball on the offensive end, hitting Jack Crowder in consecutive singles.

The first shot, a jump layup after a triple threat, was successfully hit.

But then, Anxi returned the favor with a three-pointer.

At 25:12, Anthony's second goal was another back-turn jumper, and he continued to hit.

Anxi then went into singles and returned another goal, this time a layup that broke into the paint.

The score became 27:14 again.

On the third goal, Anthony ended the offense with another mid-range jumper.

Anxi's subsequent answer ball, under the strong defense of Iman Shumpert, finally missed a shot.

27:16, 11 points left.

With the Knicks' offense, they are expected to narrow the point difference to single digits.

Anxi waved and then switched defense directly in front of Anthony.

Anthony has made all three shots at this time, and his hand condition has reached its peak.

Facing Anxi's defense change, he continued to pose as a triple threat.

Then, he turned his back and leaned against Anxi.

Anxi stuck to Anthony and used all his strength to hold up Anthony's big ass, but Anthony turned around and squeezed Anxi towards the inside.

But at this moment, Anxi lowered his body and stretched out his hand.

Snapped!

There was a gasp from the sidelines!

"broken!"

"Melotuo is too big, he shouldn't force a breakthrough in front of Anxi!"

"The king of steals showed off his power! Melo's momentum of scoring three goals in a row was ended!"

Anxi took off the basketball, jumped out and picked it up in his hands.

Then he rushed to the frontcourt.

"Quick attack!"

Anxi dribbled the ball, rushed to the frontcourt, and jumped directly to the free throw line...

With a clang, he violently slammed the basketball into the basket.

The Knicks had no choice but to serve from the backcourt. The score between the two teams was already 29:16, and the point difference was back to 13 points.

Anthony once again singled out Anxi. He continued to use his back fake to look for opportunities, but his subsequent turnaround jump shot was pressed down by Anxi from the air.

Defended again!

Kenny Smith in the commentary box had to sigh: "Anxi is too strong! Too strong!"

"Where the team needs him most, he will always appear in time, whether it is the offensive or defensive end..."

"Carmelo Anthony's outstanding momentum has been curbed in this way. Obviously, this game is going to become difficult for the Knicks..."

Soon, the first quarter ended. The 76ers beat the Knicks 39:22 in the first quarter and led the Knicks by 17 points in the first quarter. This was such a huge point difference that many fans were already saying: "The game has lost suspense since the first quarter!"

In the entire first quarter, of the 39 points scored by the 76ers, Anxi scored 17 points alone and had 5 assists, which was an explosive performance.

In the second quarter, the 76ers came on the bench and continued to suppress the Knicks. Anxi came on the scene in the second half and scored 11 points in the second half. He had 27 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in the half, completely dominating. It focused on both offense and defense, and such a half-time data seemed to let people see Anxi in the finals.

However, at halftime, the 76ers already led the Knicks by 23 points, 72:49.

With a score difference of 23 points at halftime, the game was no longer in doubt.

The midfield whistle sounded, and Carmelo Anthony glanced helplessly at Anxi, who was guarding him. Starting from the three consecutive shots in the first quarter, Anxi turned to face Anthony on the defensive end. Under Anxi's defense, Anthony could no longer Unable to find the basket, the Knicks collapsed.

"An, you are very strong, but we will not give up in this game..."

Anxi smiled and did not respond.

Then, after the halftime break, with all the 76ers' main players out, Brett Brown demanded: "End all suspense in this game before the end of the third quarter!"

Anxi also clenched his fists. This game was the 76ers' championship celebration and a special day for him to propose. He must ensure victory in this game, and he must also ensure that no one takes away the headlines of this day.

So, in the third quarter, Anxi went berserk again.

He hit a three-pointer in the opening game, then hit two consecutive fadeaway jumpers and two breakthrough layups. Anxi scored 11 consecutive points in the opening game, directly helping the 76ers widen the point difference to 30 points.

The game is no longer in doubt.

However, the Knicks still maintain the main presence, and as time goes by, their persistence gradually becomes futile.

At the end of the third quarter, Anxi finally hit a three-pointer and scored 19 points in the third quarter. At the end of the third quarter, the 76ers also led the Knicks by 37 points, a very huge point difference.

The game also ended.

At the beginning of the season, Anxi was in full swing, and the 76ers also achieved A two-game winning streak, ranking first at the start of the season, and in hot form.

On the sidelines, Anxi began to be interviewed by David Aldridge.

"33-point victory over the Knicks. What do you think this victory represents?"

Anxi was inexplicably solemn: "This victory means a lot. I don't want to go into it one by one. I will only say the most important point. This victory is the last celebration of last season for the Phillies. Next, we will Our goal is completely focused on this season.”

"For the Knicks, Zach Lowe's pre-season prediction believes that they are a playoff team in the Eastern Conference. After this battle, what do you think the Knicks' true strength is?"

Regarding this question, Anxi really didn't want to tell the truth, so he ended the entire interview with an answer that expressed his confidence.

"The Knicks are strong, but we are stronger."
