Chapter 12 Winning streak at the beginning of the game

As for the true strength of the Knicks, Anxi saw clearly through this match.

After several major overhauls, Amarestadamire has long lost the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the ground. Now he is almost no longer even capable of starting.

Dalembert inside and Jose Calderon at the point guard position are not very strong. They sent away Tyson Chandler in exchange for them. This transaction is obviously a big loss. The Knicks have no They were able to exchange for a point guard above a level, but they also lost the inside gate.

Relying solely on Carmelo Anthony, the Knicks' prospects this season are not optimistic.

But Anxi will definitely not say anything more. Time will test whether he really sees clearly.

Defeating the Knicks at home, the 76ers ushered in a two-game winning streak at the start of the season.

Then, the 76ers rested for a few days, and when the time entered November, they ushered in the third game of the season.

They played this game on the road, and their opponent was the Indiana Pacers who lost Paul George.

This season, the Pacers, who have lost Paul George, are not ready to take advantage of the situation. At least team president Larry Bird is still continuing to recruit. They have introduced C.J. Miles and Chris Copeland to fill the vacancy of Paul George. , welcomed Rodney Stuckey to supplement the back line, and retained the main players such as Roy Hibbert, David West and George Hill. In the new season, the Pacers still aim at the postseason. On the game.

In the first two games, the Pacers also achieved a record of one win and one loss, beating the Bucks, losing to the Grizzlies, winning against the weak teams in the Eastern Conference, and losing to the strong teams in the Western Conference. There were no unexpected results, and the results of these two games were Win or lose, it is obviously difficult for people to see the true strength of the current Pacers.

Of course, in front of the 76ers, no matter how strong the Pacers are, they cannot match the 76ers.

Soon, the game began.

With the power of two consecutive victories, the 76ers did not give the Pacers any face, and they broke out at the beginning.

McAway scored 4 points and 4 assists in the opening game, which forced Anxi to play without the ball. The team was in good shape, and Anxi was happy and relaxed.

Therefore, this gave McAway, who was in excellent form in this game, enough room to play. He continued to score through breakthroughs. In the first quarter of the game, due to McAway's explosion, the 76ers led by 29:20. Defeated the Pacers by 9 points.

Without Paul George, the Pacers' perimeter defense has become riddled with holes.

Under the 76ers' fast-break offensive tactics, it became difficult for them to resist any of the 76ers' attacks.

Frank Vogel is also very depressed. The Pacers always memorize words. Every time they get better, the team always has accidents. It was not easy to cultivate a Danny Granger before, but it didn't last two seasons. Danny Granger has been suffering from constant injuries and cannot support the team at all.

Then Paul George appeared and the Pacers were on track again, but before the start of this season, they suffered a frightening broken leg injury.

The two core players were injured at critical moments, or were seriously injured for the season. This made Frank Vogel have to wonder whether the Pacers were cursed.

But now he has no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the Pacers to fight for every victory.

Falling behind by 9 points in the first quarter, in Frank Vogel's view, this is a score that can be chased.

So, in the second quarter, he made a desperate move and deployed a completely offensive small lineup with the goal of chasing points.

But coincidentally, the 76ers also put up a small lineup.

Anxi, who did not exert much force in the first quarter, was continued to be put on the court by Brett Brown, plus Lou Williams, Francisco Garcia, Channing Frye and Cole Aldridge.

Anxi, which only scored 7 points and 2 assists in the first quarter, then exploded in the second quarter.

He scored 18 points in a single quarter and added 5 assists, helping the 76ers score 43 points in a single quarter, dashing the Pacers' idea of ​​chasing points in the second quarter.

In the second quarter, the 76ers beat the Pacers 43:27, widening the point difference by 16 points in a single quarter. With Anxi as the core and multiple three-point shooters on the outside, this tactic is obviously the most successful for the 76ers so far. Let's talk about a tactic. Let's not talk about defense first. The offense alone is somewhat invincible.

At halftime, the 76ers led the Pacers by 25 points at 72:47.

Obviously, for the 76ers, this is another unsuspicious victory.

The final score between the two teams was 125:97, and the 76ers defeated the Pacers by 28 points.

In this way, all three games in the first week of the new season were played, and the 76ers achieved a three-game winning streak. They showed excellent form at the beginning of the game.

In the first game against the Spurs, Anxi scored 32 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. In the second game against the Knicks, Anxi scored another 46 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. In the game, Anxi clocked out in the third quarter and ended up with 33 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. In the three games, he averaged 37 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game.

So, at the end of the first week, Anxi's strong performance made him the player of the week in the first week of the Eastern Conference.

With their current three-game winning streak, the 76ers are naturally ranked first in the Eastern Conference. However, there is another team in the Eastern Conference that has not lost a game. They have defeated the Washington Wizards, Toronto Raptors and Milwaukee Bucks. The team's Miami Heat are indeed as Zach Lowe predicted before the season. Although the Heat lost Luol Deng, they did not suffer any major loss in terms of strength and still performed strongly at the start of the game.

Other teams in the Eastern Conference have more or less lost games. Like the Cavaliers, they only played two games, losing one to the Knicks and winning the other to the Bulls.

The Bulls' loss was naturally to the Cavaliers.

The Raptors lost to the Heat, and the Hawks also lost to the Wizards. In short, only the 76ers and Heat in the Eastern Conference ended the first week of the game with a complete victory.

There are also two teams in the Western Conference that have not lost a game. One is the Rockets led by James Harden and Howard. They defeated the Lakers in the first game, then defeated the Jazz back to back, and defeated the Celtics at home in the third game. , won all three games and unexpectedly occupied the first place in the Western Conference.

Many people shouted because of this, the combination of the first shooting guard and the first center in the Western Conference seems to be breaking out this season.

Another team that has won all three games is also surprising. The Warriors, who were ranked second in the Western Conference last season, also started the game with a strong performance.

Under the leadership of new coach Steve Kerr, the Warriors first defeated the Kings and Lakers in succession, and then defeated the Trail Blazers by 5 points. They also won a three-game winning streak at the beginning of the season. Klay averaged 30 points per game in the three games. Thompson became the best player in the Western Conference in the first week of the new season.

Then, time continued to advance, the season continued, and the 76ers also ushered in their fourth game. In this game, their opponent was the Bucks.

The Bucks have continued to suffer this season. New coach Jason Kidd has not been able to bring much change to the Bucks, at least in a short period of time. In the new season, they have lost all three games and continue to rank at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

However, the progress of second-place pick Jabari Parker and last season's rookie Giannis Antetokounmpo still gives the Bucks some hope.

Although the Bucks have a poor record in this game, the challenge to Anxi is still very strong. In this game, he must face the Bucks' young swingmen, Jabari Parker and Giannis Arter. Tokunbo, Khris Middleton…

Of course, for the 76ers, winning this game is no problem.

Facing this group of young forward and defensive swingmen, Anxi also performed a relatively outstanding performance.

In the first three quarters of the game, the 76ers did not give the Bucks too many opportunities. With the explosion of Pau Gasol, they maintained the lead, but the lead was not large until the final battle of the fourth quarter.

At the beginning of the decisive battle in the fourth quarter, Anxi broke out. He was not prepared to give the Bucks any more chances. The 76ers must win the fourth consecutive victory.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Anxi continuously shot cold arrows from outside the three-point line and scored 6 points in a row.

Then he defended Giannis Antetokounmpo's layup, grabbed the rebound, and then made a fast break and rushed to the frontcourt for a one-handed dunk, suddenly widening the point difference to double digits.

Two consecutive three-pointers and a dunk. At the most critical moment, Anxi showed his sharp fangs and started tearing apart the Bucks easily.

The 76ers expanded their lead, and the Bucks, led by Jason Kidd, launched a counterattack, but soon, the counterattack was extinguished with another three-pointer from Anxi.

When the final timer buzzed, the 76ers won another victory. They defeated the Bucks 111:98 with a margin of 13 points, winning their fourth consecutive victory since the start of the game.

In the whole game, Anxi scored another 38 points, plus 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 5 steals and 2 blocks. The average score per game has reached 37.3 points, ranking first in the league's scoring list.

He also averaged 9.5 assists per game, second only to Chris Paul's 11.3 assists.

He averaged 3.5 steals per game, also ranking first in the league.

Therefore, the NBA official website released the first MVP ranking of this season. Anxi's strong performance made it impossible for everyone to ignore him. Anxi deservedly ranked first in the first MVP ranking.

In addition to Anxi's own heroic performance, the 76ers' four-game victory and unrivaled offensive power also triggered a lot of discussion.

"In the first four games, the 76ers averaged 116 points per game, and they staged explosive output of 30 or even 40 points in a single quarter several times. Obviously, the 76ers have improved faster this season with their offense. Their scoring points are higher than There was more last season, the offense became fast or slow, and the tactics were rich, so the offensive end naturally improved a lot. Such an improvement is naturally a good thing for the 76ers' journey to defend their title."

Su Qun, a well-known domestic commentator, made some comments on the 76ers' offensive performance this season. The comments were very pertinent, and this comment also triggered some discussions.

"The 76ers' performance this season is indeed outstanding. They have won all four games and are now No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. Among the four games, they have won two wildly and the other two games were locked early. The victory, especially the defeat of the Spurs in the opening game, the 76ers played very easily, which makes people feel confident in the 76ers' journey to defend their title."

"Anxi is too strong. This season, his control of the game has reached a new level. From now on, Anxi is a well-deserved candidate for the regular season MVP, and the 76ers are also the most powerful contenders for the championship. Even if the Cleveland Cavaliers form The new Big Three.”

The 76ers won all four games, but the Rockets in the Western Conference lost in the fourth game. It is worth mentioning that they lost to the Heat, who had not lost a game in the Eastern Conference.

In this game, Luer Deng made 13 of 19 shots, completely defeating Trevor Ariza who was opposite him. He scored 30 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists in the game. Luer Deng seemed to have no possession of the ball at all. Er Deng is the wing player more suitable for the Heat.

Dwyane Wade completely controlled the ball. He also scored 20 points, 3 rebounds and 10 assists in this game. Chris Bosh's shots were also guaranteed. For a period of time in the third quarter, he Continuous hits from mid-range helped the Heat seal the victory.

In the end, he scored 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists in the game.

After this victory, the Heat also continued their winning streak, and like the 76ers, achieved a wave of four consecutive victories.

It is worth mentioning that their next opponent is the 76ers...

This game was a home game for the 76ers, so the Heat arrived in Philadelphia the day before the game and stayed at the National Hotel in Philadelphia.

They held a press conference. Four consecutive victories allowed Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to completely regain their confidence. At this time, they had forgotten LeBron James. If there was not such a brotherhood, maybe they would both Starting to laugh at LeBron James, because the Cavaliers, who also played four games, only achieved two wins, losing to the New York Knicks and Golden State Warriors respectively. The second loss also gave the Warriors fourth place. A winning streak.

As a result, the Warriors, the Heat, and the 76ers became the only three teams in the East and West to win all the games.

The Cavaliers have 2 wins and 2 losses. Such a record is naturally not good, so Wade and Bosh are proud at this time. Of course, Luol Deng is even more proud. He feels that he has proved that he can do more than LBJ. Good star player.

At the pre-game press conference, a reporter asked a question: "Facing the 76ers who have also won four consecutive games, what is the Heat's goal?"

Luer Deng gave an unsurprising answer: "Of course it is victory!"

But when the reporter asked further: "But the 76ers are very strong, and they are also a team with four consecutive victories."

Luer Deng showed his complacent side: "Four consecutive wins? Sorry, we just defeated the Rockets, who have won three consecutive victories, and the 76ers, who have won four consecutive victories, will be no exception! What's more, in Zach In Lowe's preseason predictions, the 76ers were ranked below us."

Such words naturally reached Anxi's ears, and Anxi sneered in response.

In Anxi's view, whether the Heat is really as strong as Zach Lowe predicted, and whether the Heat's current record really reflects their true strength, everything still needs to be tested by the 76ers.
