Super Role Player

The game entered the second half, and a 25-point halftime lead made the game uninteresting.

Many fans on the sidelines also began to leave. Anyway, this game was just an ordinary regular season game. As Thunder fans, they did not want to see their team being completely abused by their opponents, so leaving the game became the best choice. .

However, the first goal of the second half made the fans on the sidelines couldn't help but cheer loudly from the bottom of their hearts.

The first goal of the third quarter was the 76ers' possession of the ball. Anxi held the ball and faced off with Andre Robertson, who was guarding him, outside the three-point line.

The other Thunder players were also tilting towards Anxi side. There was no way, Anxi's threat on the offensive end was too great.

However, Anxi observed the Thunder's defensive position, then glanced at the position of the basket, and immediately had an idea.

He suddenly made a crotch dribble, then made a fake move with his right hand, but accelerated towards the left with his feet. Andre Robertson, who was guarding Anxi, was the same as Anxi when he first entered the league, focusing on perimeter defense alone. , but when it comes to facing a superstar-level outside offensive kaleidoscope like Anxi, there seems to be not much that can be done.

After Anxi changed direction and shook him, Andre Robertson was completely unable to keep up with Anxi's acceleration.

The next step was simple. Anxi rushed all the way to the inside, but after only two or three steps, he saw Durant on the other side making up for it.

However, at this time, Anxi suddenly jumped up, startling everyone.

Because Anxi's jumping position is still quite far away from the basket. With such a long distance, does Anxi want to jump for a layup from a distance?

"It doesn't look like a layup!" Oklahoma City fans who stayed on the sidelines were surprised to find that Anxi jumped to a very high height, and it didn't look like a layup at all. They were shocked to find that Anxi was getting more and more High, higher and higher, higher and higher...

In a flash, Anxi jumped to a height higher than the basket, and was extremely close to the basket!

"Dunk?!"

Many fans already have an answer in their hearts, but they still find it a bit unbelievable. They almost took off from a position near the free throw line, ignored the presence of other Thunder players, and actually had to complete a long-distance explosion in the crowd. buckle!

Bang!

Anxi slammed the basketball into the basket,

There was a loud noise!

The entire Chesapeake Energy Arena fell into silence, except for the excitement on the 76ers bench!

"Dunk! Unbelievable!"

"Incredible! A long-distance dunk! Anxi ignored the presence of all Thunder players. This dunk will definitely be the first among the top five goals today! It's so beautiful!"

With this one goal and the point difference widening to 27 points, the Thunder were completely defeated.

The third quarter lasted for about five minutes, and Scott Brooks replaced all the main players, especially the Thunder's two young players. After all, Westbrook and Durant had just returned from injury, and there was nothing to win in this game. Hopeful, Scott Brook no longer persisted, replaced all the main players, and ended the game early.

In the end, the 76ers defeated the Thunder 118:97 with a 21-point advantage. This victory allowed the 76ers to avoid a possible losing streak. After losing to the Spurs, they defeated the Thunder again and started winning again.

In this game, Anxi scored 34 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block. Lou Williams became the 76ers' second scorer in this game. After scoring 12 points in the second quarter, From the beginning to the last garbage time in the third quarter, he scored another 11 points. In addition to the 5 points scored in complete garbage time in the fourth quarter, Lou Williams scored 28 points in the whole game.

With 28 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the game, Lou Williams had his best performance since moving to the 76ers.

The same goes for Channing Frye. Three three-pointers in the second quarter gave him 9 points. In the next two quarters, he hit 4 more three-pointers. He scored 7 three-pointers in the game and scored 21 points, which was also a 20-point total. +, the explosion of two role players, plus Anxi, the three of them scored 83 points together, plus Pau Gasol and Jae Crowder who scored in double figures, these five people alone scored more than 100 points .

Therefore, in terms of offense alone, the Thunder's loss is not unfair.

Because the 76ers did play their best performance.

After a big victory, the team's role players performed so well, which made the North American media start to praise the 76ers crazily. Losing to the Spurs became an accident, and winning against the Thunder became a matter of course. The 76ers are already This season is the most promising team, and the betting company has also raised the 76ers' championship odds in a timely manner. The 18-1 record continues to rank the 76ers first in the league.

And among the top five goals released that day, Anxi's dunk at the beginning of the third quarter has indeed become the first of the five best goals.

After beating the Thunder, the 76ers continued their campaign non-stop. They rushed back to Philadelphia and faced the Hawks back-to-back.

Facing Mike Budenholzer's team, Brett Brown made some rotations, but Anxi was not rotated, which was also proposed by Anxi himself.

He said a classic line: "I will have time to rest after I die, don't let me rest now, I want to play all the games!"

This sentence made Brett Brown laugh wildly all the way, but in the end he agreed to Anxi's request and let Anxi play the full regular season.

Brett Brown's rotation in this game mainly targeted Lou Williams and Channing Frye, who broke out in the previous game. After the Death Tornado lineup gradually showed its effect, Lou Williams and Channing Frye became the team's core players. The main substitutes have also played many games. In this game, Brett Brown simply let them rest and replaced them with another group of substitute players.

But this rotation, something went wrong...

The first quarter of the game was uneventful. The 76ers took the lead, although it was only a small lead of 4 points.

In the second quarter, because Lou Williams and Channing Frye were unavailable, Brett Brown changed the rotation and paired McAway with Pau Gasol to maintain competitiveness in the second quarter.

As a result, in the second quarter, McAway was in excellent condition, but he used too much force and sprained his foot while attacking the basket. He was directly lifted out by two team staff members. It looked like the situation was not optimistic...

After the 76ers won this game and achieved another two-game winning streak, after the game, McAway's injury report was also released. He suffered a sprained ankle and was out for two weeks...

There was nothing they could do. After losing McAway at home, the 76ers embarked on an away journey again. This time their opponent became the Grizzlies in the Western Conference.

The Grizzlies are not easy to play, their defense is grinding, and their offense has improved under the guidance of Dave Joerger. The biggest characteristic of this type of team is that it is easy to get upset, and it is especially easy for the weak to defeat the strong.

As a result, Anxi suffered its first Waterloo of the season in this game.

At the beginning, he faced Tony Allen's defense. Tony Allen's continuous pressing defense made Anxi feel the pressure for the first time. However, in the first quarter, Anxi still made 4 of 8 shots and scored 10 points.

However, from the beginning of the second quarter, Anxi felt the rapid loss of physical energy.

On the one hand, during this period of time, Anxi continuously faced strong teams without taking a break. Such continuous rotation is still very energy-consuming. On the other hand, it must be attributed to Tony Allen's oppressive and confrontational defense. Tony Allen The defense put Anxi under great pressure.

Of course, we cannot ignore the two big men inside the Grizzlies. Together with Tony Allen, they restricted Anxi.

Anxi made 5 of 11 shots in the second quarter. After scoring 11 more points, his energy was almost exhausted.

Therefore, Brett Brown began to let Anxi rest in the second half. He asked Pau Gasol to take the substitutes and faced Gasol's brother Marc Gasol. However, an accident happened again in the second half.

In a post-up game, Pau Gasol squeezed Marc Gasol away, then turned around and dunked. His foot was unstable and he dunked directly onto the neck of the basket. As a result, Pau Gasol was beaten by the rebound of the neck of the basket. Fall to the ground.

After falling to the ground, Pau Gasol covered his thigh. His brother Marc Gasol quickly bent down to check on Pau Gasol.

But obviously, the situation was a little bad. The team doctor carried a stretcher and carried Pau Gasol off.

…

The final result was that Anxi was unable to survive alone and the 76ers lost by 5 points.

The injury report of Pau Gasol was also released after the game. He suffered a thigh root strain and will need to be sidelined for a month...

In this way, the regular season entered December, and the 76ers' first wave of injuries began to break out.

In the next few days, James Anderson was also injured during training, but fortunately it was only a minor injury. Anxi also suffered from soreness in his back because he played several strong matches in a row. Fortunately, it did not affect the reception. Down for the game.

The arrival of the injury wave means that Anxi, who can continue to play, needs to take on more responsibilities, and then they face the Cavaliers...

Entering December, the Cavaliers regained their form. They played 6 games and lost only one game, with 5 wins and 1 loss. Their form began to pick up.

Of course, some people believe that the Cavaliers' Big Three have passed the initial running-in period and are starting to get into shape...

In this game, they faced the 76ers who were hit by a wave of injuries. One side was in recovery, while the other side was in decline. It was not an equal match, but it still attracted attention from the United States and even the world.

"Since the start of the game, the 76ers have shown excellent form, and their current record of 19 wins and 2 losses is still the first in the league; on the other hand, the Cavaliers were in poor form in the first month, only achieving a record of 8 wins and 7 losses, but in December After regaining their form, they are already 13 wins and 8 losses. The 76ers and Cavaliers have obviously become the only two strong teams in the East. Teams such as the Heat have begun to decline after a hot start."

"So looking at the current situation in the Eastern Conference, it must be a fight between the 76ers and the Cavaliers, and who is stronger between the two can be seen from this game..."
