Super Role Player

Anxi didn't pay much attention to the first ball in the opening game. He started to control the ball at the top of the key.

On the second goal of the game, Anxi started dribbling from the outside with his hips, and then, with a sudden change of direction during the dribble, he passed Jimmy Butler directly.

Jimmy Butler's defense was very good, but when faced with Anxi's rapid change of direction, he was still a step too slow to react. He could only watch Anxi rush into the paint.

On the Bulls' inside line, Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson teamed up to form an inside blockade. Anxi rushed over. Joakim Noah did not leave his position, but Taj Gibson on the other side rushed over waving his long arms. .

At this time, Anxi's best choice is to pass the ball to Ronny Turiaf.

But Anxi did not choose to pass the ball. On the one hand, he did not know Ronny Turiaf very well. He did not know whether Turiaf's current baseline mid-range position was within his shooting range. On the other hand, he did not know much about Ronny Turiaf. On the other hand, Anxi has been holding back its fighting spirit for six games.

Facing Gibson's defense, Anxi not only did not stop, but accelerated and rushed straight towards Gibson.

Gibson soon discovered that Anxi was looking for a foul!

In the game when Anxi was suspended, that is, the game where the Oracle incident occurred, Anxi once demonstrated his ability to draw fouls. Therefore, many defensive players also understood that the real Anxi is not just a back-up player on the offensive end. This move.

Gibson guessed Anxi's intention, but Anxi rushed so fast that he had no time to dodge, so he had no choice but to push forward.

Anxi posed for a dunk. At this moment, he was like a bow and arrow with a full string. The moment Gibson rushed over to cover, Anxi ejected and started.

Then, the two met in the air. Facing Anxi's unstoppable strength, Gibson had no choice but to pull Anxi in the air. The referee's whistle then sounded.

Anxi lost his balance, but the ball was still in his hand.

At this time, he stretched out his other hand to hold Gibson, maintaining his balance for a short time, and then threw the basketball away with his hand.

The next second, Anxi and Gibson flew out of the baseline together, but the basketball hit the backboard and bounced into the basket!

Gibson lay on the floor in a daze. He never thought that he would pull Anxi, making Anxi lose his center of gravity. Anxi's subsequent swing of the ball,

He actually managed to score a goal.

Thunderous applause erupted from the scene. Anxi's goal was very beautiful, making it a 2+1.

Then, he stood on the free throw line and hit the extra penalty, 3:2. In the first game of his comeback, Anxi scored 3 points first.

Then came the Bulls' offense.

Due to the improvement of Jimmy Butler and the return of Derrick Rose, the Bulls' offense has made some progress this season. However, Tom Thibodeau is still a coach who is not good at building offense. The Bulls' offense often relies on the isolation of stars. .

With this ball, after the Bulls picked and rolled from outside, Anxi switched defense to Derrick Rose who broke through.

Derrick Rose broke through and Anxi covered up in front of him. Facing Anxi, Derrick Rose chose to force a layup. At this moment, he seemed fearless, but the next moment, Anxi stretched out his long arms and blocked it just right. Derrick Rose's layup.

The dropped basketball was picked up by Jimmy Butler on the other side. Facing McAway's defense, Jimmy Butler also rushed inside and made a pull-up jumper. It missed, but caused a foul on McAway's beater.

Then, Jimmy Butler stepped to the free throw line and began to execute free throws.

"Anxi's defense is still so good. He did not neglect defense because of his outstanding offensive end." Bald Jeff Van Gundy, the commentator of this game, commented on Anxi's defense, but then he changed the subject. "But the opposite is the 76ers' McAway. His defense was a big problem in his rookie season. This season is already his second season, and his defense is still so bad. The Bulls scored twice in the opening game. , all started from McAway."

After criticizing McAway's defense, Jeff Van Gundy continued: "If I were talking about Sam Hinkie, I would trade McAway. A true championship team still needs defense, especially Point guard is an increasingly critical position."

As he was talking, Jimmy Butler stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws to take the lead again.

At this time, the ball returned to the hands of the 76ers. Anxi took control of the ball again. He glanced at the Bulls' inside line, and then saw Gibson, who had just committed a foul.

There is a big difference between the Bulls' starting inside line and the backup inside line. The starting inside line is more focused on defense, while the backup inside line is more focused on offense. Anxi will definitely be on the offensive end in this game, so he took one look and was already there. Gibson, who had received a foul, had an idea pop into his mind.

He decided to continue attacking the inside and try to send Gibson off the court early by drawing fouls.

So, Anxi dribbled the ball and rushed into the inside from the right. This time, Jimmy Butler's defense kept up. Anxi rushed into the inside and was entangled by Jimmy Butler. He could only make a back movement and followed closely. Then he was ready to turn around and rush into the penalty area.

But at this time, Jack Crowder appeared at the right time. He diagonally inserted into the penalty area from the other side. This was an opportunity!

Anxi did not just focus on his own offense to vent his ego. When his teammates had a great opportunity, he did not let his teammates run in vain.

Anxi's passing was almost perfect. When Jack Crowder took a step outside the penalty area, Anxi used a ground pass to bypass Taj Gibson's defense. The basketball appeared in Jack Crowder's hands.

Gibson quickly turned around to defend Jae Crowder, but at this time, he had already committed a foul. Faced with Jae Crowder's impact on the basket, Gibson did not dare to reach out. After pretending to interfere, he could only watch. Jack Crowder completed a layup.

5:4, the 76ers lead by one point.

But soon, the Bulls attacked, Derrick Rose broke through and found an opportunity, and Gibson, who also assisted inside, dunked and scored two points, 6:5.

The Bulls' offense was simple, but effective. They took advantage of McAway's defensive loopholes and scored consecutively.

The Christmas battle has been going on so far, the score between the two teams is still anxious, and many people have begun to cheer for this battle.

In the other four Christmas games that started at the same time, the game between the Knicks and the Nets was just a novice fight with all kinds of mistakes. The Clippers had already beaten the Lakers, and the Spurs against the Heat were even more boring in the half-court offense and defense. Practice, another game between the Cavaliers and the Warriors. The game only started for 3 minutes. The Warriors scored four three-pointers in a row. They beat the Cavaliers 12:2 in the opening game. The game entered the Warriors' rhythm from the beginning.

Such a game with no suspense is obviously not interesting to watch.

On the other hand, the 76ers and Bulls started with a suspenseful start. No one expected that the Bulls would be so tenacious in Anxi's first game back. After Anxi scored a goal, they immediately returned the goal.

On the court, the 76ers attacked and Anxi got the ball from the high post.

After a familiar triple threat posture, Jimmy Butler involuntarily took a step back, preparing to defend Anxi's breakthrough.

But this retreat directly gave Anxi a chance.

Anxi immediately stepped back and withdrew from the three-point line. He directly held the ball with both hands and pulled up. He made a pull-up from outside the three-point line and took the shot.

Stepping back and pulling up for a three-pointer, Jimmy Butler's defense made a mistake. The basketball passed through the sky above the arena and accurately hit the basket.

With a swoosh, the ball goes in!

Tom Thibodeau roared from the sidelines: "Jimmy! Stick to him! Don't give him space!"

Jimmy Butler was also very helpless. He indeed made a mistake on this ball. When he was defending this ball, he didn't think too much. He just saw Anxi assuming a triple threat posture. In addition, the first two goals were breakthroughs. He took a step back as a matter of course, and as a result, Anxi was given the opportunity to step back and shoot a pull-up jumper.

But sometimes, such mistakes are fatal, especially since Tom Thibodeau is an extremely defensive coach. Jimmy Butler will definitely have to bear his wrath if he makes such a mistake.

At 8:6, the 76ers took a 2-point lead.

In the Bulls' offense, Jimmy Butler took the ball and wanted to return a goal to Anxi. He ran to the high post to get the ball and faced Anxi's defense.

He leaned against Anxi and played singles in the middle, but soon he felt the pressure Anxi put on him. Anxi's defense was excellent. Jimmy Butler, a newly evolved scorer averaging 20+ per game, was under Anxi's defense. In front of him, there was only a half-hearted attacker.

Jimmy Butler doesn't have many offensive methods. He only has a top-notch mid-range shot, unstable three-pointers, and average ball handling. Therefore, Anxi's defense is relatively easy.

On this shot, Jimmy Butler turned around and slid down the baseline to break through, but the moment he turned around, Anxi retreated, blocking Butler's inevitable path into the paint.

At this time, Jimmy Butler was already very close to the basket. He didn't care about Anxi in front of him. He jumped up and raised his hand to dunk.

Of course, Anxi would not allow others to dunk over his head. He also jumped up at the same time and made a solid block, sending the basketball flying like a volleyball.

The basketball was quickly picked up by McAway, and Anxi quickly landed, withdrew from the inside and accelerated towards the frontcourt, a fast break opportunity!

Anxi rushed very fast. He quickly overtook the car and rushed in front of the Bulls insiders. The only ones standing in front of Anxi were Derrick Rose and Mike Dunleavy.

Anxi asked for the basketball from McAway. When he rushed to the three-point line in the frontcourt, Anxi changed direction and accelerated, passing Derrick Rose who was trying to block him. Then, Anxi took a big step, one step. Get rid of Rose and rush to the unguarded basket.

The inner line was empty and empty except for Anxi, so Anxi began his performance.

Holding the ball with one hand, he counterattacked with his crotch, and with a 360-degree turn, he turned around and slammed the basketball into the basket!

This goal set off another climax of the fans at the scene, and the shouts of MVP even sounded in the arena.

At 10:6, the score slowly opened up.

In the Bulls' offense, Jimmy Butler still didn't believe in evil and wanted to attack Anxi alone, but after holding the ball in the high post for a while, he really couldn't find a chance. Jimmy Butler could only turn around and make a hand-to-hand cooperation with Derrick Rose, and then Delhi Cross took the ball and faced Anxi after changing defense.

Facing Anxi, Derrick Rose hadn't suffered too much yet, so he chose to rush.

After forcing his way into the paint, Derrick Rose gradually felt the pressure Anxi put on him. Anxi opened his arms to block Derrick Rose's head. Derrick Rose could not complete the layup, so he forced a layup again. Eat the big hat of Anxi.

This time, the basketball was not picked up by his teammates, but was picked up by Nolens Noel who came from defense. The 76ers then counterattacked, but Anxi's pass assist was given to Ronny Turiaf. Ronny Turiaf's layup ended in a blackout.

In the end, Joakim Noah grabbed a rebound. Neither the 76ers nor the Bulls scored, and the ball returned to the Bulls.

After more than four minutes of play in the opening game, Anxi already had three big blocks.

But it's not over yet.

As if they didn't believe in evil, the Bulls continuously attacked the 76ers' inside line.

Many people are puzzled by this, but Anxi knows very well that the Bulls' strong shooting ability from the outside is weak. If they want to open up the offense in the opening game, they can only attack the inside through continuous attacks.

Therefore, Derrick Rose once again rushed into the paint against Anxi's defense, but this time, he did not choose to force forward, but passed the basketball to the other side.

At the same time, Anxi miraculously made a make-up defense. He threw away Derrick Rose and went directly to the other side, giving Gibson another big shot in time, who was about to dunk.

Wachovia Arena immediately exploded!

"Four consecutive big shots! The entire penalty area is almost dominated by Anxi!"

"Derrick Rose had two big shots, Jimmy Butler had one, and Gibson had one! Four big shots. Did Anxi have a hot pot feast in this game?"

Just as the commentators were discussing Anxi's four hot shots, Anxi Brick assisted Nolens Noel on the offensive end and completed a layup. The score between the two teams reached 12:6, and the point difference was widened. Arrived at 6 minutes.

At this time, many people noticed Anxi's personal data.

8 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists and 4 blocks, all-round statistics! At this time, the game had only started for 5 minutes.

Anxi's statistics often become very versatile, but this game is different. He occasionally blocks a lot of shots, but like this game, four blocks in five minutes has never happened before. If Anxi's assists and steals can keep up, maybe Anxi can really contribute a super all-around data in this game.

The game continued, and the Bulls gradually replaced bench players in the second half of the first quarter. Several shooters such as Mirotic came on the scene one after another. They also found some outside shooting touch, and at the end of the first quarter, they The score difference was evened.

The two teams tied at 28:28 in the first quarter. Anxi scored 14 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks in the first quarter. He produced extremely versatile statistics in the first quarter.
