Chapter 16 First defeat of the season

In the first month of the new season, the 76ers achieved a 17-game winning streak, ranking first in the league with a record of 17 wins and 0 losses.

December started. After announcing the best player and best coach in November, the league officially announced that the All-Star voting for the new season has begun. Fans can vote for their favorite stars through social networking sites.

Anxi, who was the league's top vote-getter last season, is sitting firmly on Diaoyutai this season and has no intention of canvassing for votes, because he knows very well that with his current status and popularity, even if he does not canvass votes, he will be included in the Eastern Conference's starting five. There is no problem either.

Last season Anxi's vote-leading victory was questioned a lot, but then he responded to these doubts one by one with his performance. This season, Anxi doesn't need to respond at all. He is the No. 1 among the current stars in the league. .1.

However, Anxi still canvassed votes for his teammates on several of his social networking sites.

In addition to Anxi, the 76ers' Mike Carter, Jae Crowder and Pau Gasol all have a chance to be selected for the All-Star Game.

In the 17 games in the first month, although McAway's performance did not meet people's expectations, he was still quite outstanding. He averaged 13.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.7 steals per game, with data of 13+5+5. Comparing Mcaway's data last season, it is obviously a step back, but with such data, there is still a chance to compete for a spot at the end of the All-Stars in the Eastern Conference.

Jae Crowder has made significant progress this season. He has become a surprise for the 76ers. He averaged 15.9 points per game and became the 76ers' third leading scorer. He averaged 2.6 three-pointers per game. Jae Crowder even more This season, he has become one of the 76ers' important three-point scoring points from the outside.

Pau Gasol averaged 19.1 points per game in November, plus 10.4 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.8 blocks. Not surprisingly, Pau Gasol, who scored 19+10+3 and has the European market behind him, is in the Eastern Conference. Entering the All-Star Game should be no problem.

However, the moment All-Star voting opens, the competition begins.

In the Eastern Conference, the first to canvass votes for their team's stars were the big-name fans of the New York Knicks. Spike Lee personally came forward to canvass votes for the Knicks' Carmelo Anthony.

Then, the Russian tycoon Prokhorov began canvassing votes for several "old giants" in the Nets.

Soon, the main event came.

The Cleveland Cavaliers also began to exert their efforts. First, the Cavaliers' official Weibo posted a canvassing post.

then,

LeBron James began to mobilize his connections to canvass votes for the team's other two stars, Kelly Irving and Kevin Love.

Boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, R\u0026amp;amp;B singer Jay-Z, etc. all helped Kelly Irving and Kevin Love canvass votes, but many NBA industry insiders regarded the Cavaliers' vote-seeking offensive as A kind of joke.

Because after November, the Cavaliers with the Big Three performed poorly, only achieving a record of 8 wins and 7 losses, barely among the top eight in the Eastern Conference. This Cavaliers exposed too many problems, including the lack of perimeter defense. , there are too few outside three-point scoring points and they are not stable enough, there are too many ball possession points on the outside, and of course there are also issues with the integration of Kelly Irving and LeBron James, etc. A series of problems led to the Cavaliers' poor record in the first month.

The Big Three also have a tendency to become a joke.

LeBron James has ordered general manager David Griffin to seek a trade. Obviously, if the Cavaliers don't make changes, it will be difficult for them to compare with the 76ers who have won 17 consecutive games.

The All-Star voting is open, and the 76ers' December games will soon begin. The 76ers' first opponent in December is the San Antonio Spurs, but the difference is that this time the 76ers are playing at home.

Because the 17-game winning streak in the first month has been achieved, Anxi did not receive any rewards. However, the Best of the Month in November gave Anxi a glory pool as a reward, bringing his number of glory pools to more than three and almost four. Anxi temporarily There is no need for these glory pools yet, so I don’t feel anxious as I watch the glory pools slowly accumulate.

Anyway, it won’t be used for the time being, so it doesn’t matter no matter how slowly it accumulates.

In the first game in December, although the opponent was the Spurs, Anxi did not attach so much importance to this game. If they lost, it would not be unacceptable.

At the beginning of the game, Anxi still tried his best to fight, but in this game, the 76ers' condition was obviously not that good. Even Anxi had a continuous phenomenon of hitting the iron, so that at the end of the first quarter, the 76ers Just 6 points behind.

This game was mainly about the three GDP veterans breaking out together. Parker scored after various coquettish breakthroughs. Manu Ginobili came off the bench and scored two three-pointers in a row. Duncan also did an excellent job in defending inside. In this way, after the 76ers changed to the Death Tornado lineup in the second quarter, the two teams only played a tie.

In the second half, the Spurs exploded and led the 76ers by double digits. Then, by the end of the third quarter, the Spurs locked in a 16-point lead.

In the fourth quarter, Anxi began to break out, scoring consecutively, and began to lead the team to chase points.

However, they chased until the end of the fourth quarter and failed to narrow the point difference to less than 5 points.

Anxi has not opened the glory pool. It is just a regular season loss, and it is not that important. There is no need to waste a glory pool just for a regular season victory.

So, at the end of the 48-minute game, the 76ers lost to the Spurs 102:109, their first loss of the season.

There is nothing to say about losing in the first game, especially the losing opponent was the Spurs. Fans of the 76ers were still convinced by the loss to the Spurs, because last season's finals, they were the only ones to reach the final game of the seventh game with the 76ers. , and the team that forced Anxi to score god-level statistics is the Spurs.

In this game, Anxi only scored 37 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists. In the end, they failed to win. Some people will also ask: Why can't Anxi break out like last season?

Someone gave an answer: Regular season games are not that important, and Anxi does not need to strive for every game.

The first loss of the season was at home. The 76ers were not too frustrated. Instead, they breathed a sigh of relief. The winning streak was over, the record was gone, and everything was relaxed.

The 76ers' schedule in December is still very cruel. They lost their first game against the Spurs and their winning streak ended. The 76ers continued to play with a relaxed attitude. Next, they have to face the Thunder in the West and the Thunder in the East. The Hawks, the Grizzlies in the West, the Cavaliers of the Big Three and the Warriors who have risen this season.

The Thunder's performance this season has been somewhat poor, with a record of only 5 wins and 13 losses at the start of the season. However, there are also some injuries. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook missed some games, which caused the Thunder to lose too many games at the start. ball, but a week ago, both of them had returned. Under the leadership of both players, the Thunder began to chase up the record rankings.

This encounter with the 76ers is expected to be another fierce fight.

The opponents we encountered in the next few games were also strong teams that were in good form this season.

The Hawks have fully entered the state this season. With a record of 9 wins and 6 losses since the start of the season, they are firmly ranked among the top eight in the Eastern Conference. Their fast-paced offense and defense and numerous outside passes have also made people think that the Hawks are called the Little Spurs of the Eastern Conference.

The Grizzlies have always been a strong team, and they are the kind of team that can always push the top teams in the league into danger even though their record data is not obvious. Such a team is obviously the most difficult to deal with.

Although the Cavaliers had a poor record in the first month, the foundation of the Big Three is there, and it is obviously not to be underestimated.

As for the Last Warrior, it can be called a dark horse this season.

The record of 14 wins and 2 losses at the start of the game ranks among the top two in the Western Conference, second only to the Spurs, who started the game with 15 wins and 2 losses. In addition to the record, the Warriors' team statistics are unexpectedly outstanding.

This season, the Warriors have the second-best offense in the league, averaging 110.0 points per game, second only to the 76ers who average 112.8 points per game, and averaging 27.4 assists per game, which is also second in the league, only behind the 76ers who are first. 0.4 assists less.

Judging from various offensive data, the Warriors have made huge progress on the offensive end this season.

Therefore, judging from the data alone, the showdown between the 76ers and the Warriors will obviously become a battle of spears and spears, and the game will definitely be very exciting and fierce.
