Super Role Player

In the second quarter, Brett Brown came on as a substitute and put Anxi on the bench to rest.

Evan Turner led the bench against the Bulls' bench led by Aaron Brooks and Nikola Mirotic. Compared with the starters, the Bulls' bench had a lot of firepower, with point guard Aaron Brooks and shooting guard E'Twaun Moore, small forward Doug McDermott, and power forward Nikola Mirotic all have good three-pointers. With center Joakim Noah on the court, the Bulls actually started to play well. The center used last season to support the offense, and he played well.

For more than four minutes in the second quarter, the Bulls launched a 14:2 offensive wave, leading the 76ers by 12 points.

The Bulls' four top outside shooters all fired, hitting consecutive three-pointers, and the 76ers couldn't even defend themselves, so they were shot into a sieve.

The 76ers' own bench still lacks three-point firepower from the outside. Neither point guard Shaun Livingston nor small forward Evan Turner is a qualified three-point shooter. In this way, the 76ers can only watch the Bulls roar. , but his own offense couldn't be opened.

Brett Brown couldn't sit still and replaced Anxi in advance.

Anxi replaced Evan Turner, and the other positions of the 76ers remained unchanged, namely point guard Shaun Livingston, shooting guard Troy Daniels, small forward Anxi, power forward Channing Frye and center Cole Aldrie. strange.

Play soon resumed with Shaun Livingston receiving the ball from the back and advancing upfield.

The first ball back from Anxi, he directly took a better position in the high post and reached for the ball.

Shaun Livingston didn't hesitate much and stuffed the ball directly.

After Anxi received the ball, he played in the high post. The person guarding him was E'Twaun Moore, a 3D shooting guard with average strength.

After Anxi's back-up, a back-turning jumper escaped E'Twaun Moore's block, but in the end it still missed a little.

The rebound was taken by Joakim Noah, and the Bulls still played a high-post support tactic with a center. E'Twaun Moore and Doug McDermott switched positions back and forth at the top of the key, trying to disrupt the 76ers' defense. Rhythm.

After E'Twaun Moore changed positions on a screen, he directly received the basketball from Joakim Noah. He shook off Troy Daniels and was about to take a shot. At this time, Anxi rushed over from the other side and hit a head-on big shot. hat, and the basketball flew away.

Anxi's fifth big goal in this game, the hot pot feast continues.

The basketball was picked up by the 76ers,

Shaun Livingston counterattacked with the ball. After advancing to the frontcourt, he passed the ball and assisted Troy Daniels for a fast break dunk.

At 32:42, the 76ers were 10 points behind and the game continued.

In the Bulls' offense, Aaron Brooks slowly advanced to the frontcourt, and then handed the basketball to Joakim Noah.

The Bulls continued to grind their ground on the offensive end, but this time, the Bulls' offense was faster. Aaron Brooks caught the ball with a screen and then rushed into the paint. This time it was Cole Aldridge, who reached Aaron in time. In front of Brooks.

But in the face of Cole Aldridge's supplementary defense, Aaron Brooks not only did not retreat, but accelerated, taking advantage of using small to defeat large, directly accelerated past Cole Aldridge and rushed into the penalty area.

Just as Aaron Brooks was preparing for a layup, Anxi came out of the corner again, jumped up, and hit the basketball from behind.

Then, at the moment Aaron Brooks made a layup, Anxi gently rubbed the basketball from behind Brooks, and got another hot pot...

The basketball changed its original trajectory and deviated directly from the basket. It was caught by Channing Frye who was waiting under the basket. Then he flicked it and passed the basketball to Anxi.

At this time, there was a loud roar from the commentary box: "The sixth hot pot of this game. Before the half game is over, Anxi has already scored six hot pots!"

On the field, Anxi had already held the ball and went straight into the frontcourt. The Bulls kept retreating. Their defense showed its power at this time. The Bulls' defense led by Joakim Noah returned to the defense in time. Anxi could only slow down. The rhythm slowly advanced to the front court.

Soon, Anxi made a gesture, Cole Aldridge withdrew from the inside, and at the same time took Joakim Noah out of the penalty area. On the other side, Channing Frye also kept landing at the three-point line in the bottom corner. Position, Nikola Mirotic naturally followed. In this way, Cole Aldridge made a single block, Anxi accelerated and rushed inside, facing Joakim Noah's defense, and another change of direction. Passed by Joakim Noah.

At this time, there is an empty space in front of him. He can face the basket directly and no one can stop him.

Of course, when Anxi took a few steps forward, the Bulls sent someone to defend Anxi. Doug McDermott rushed over, but in the face of Anxi's impact, McDermott was a little unable to stop Anxi, so he pulled Anxi. , Anxi also took advantage of the situation and made a shooting action.

Beep! The referee blew the whistle and called a foul on Doug McDermott.

Subsequently, Anxi went to the free throw line and made two free throws. The score reached 34:42, and the point difference was narrowed to 8 points.

Then, the Bulls requested a timeout.

Tom Thibodeau is a head coach who likes to kill the main players. Under normal circumstances, the main players of his team have to play for about forty minutes, which is terrifying. Now, seeing Anxi play, the team's lead After being continuously shrunk, he immediately became the main force.

Jimmy Butler came on and replaced Doug McDermott, who had little effect on the defensive end. Taj Gibson came on and replaced Aaron Brooks, which strengthened the team's interior strength.

As a result, the Bulls' lineup on the field became point guard E'Twaun Moore, shooting guard Jimmy Butler, small forward Nikola Mirotic, power forward Taj Gibson and center Joakim Noah.

Taking advantage of this timeout, the 76ers also made substitutions. Lou Williams came on the court and replaced Shaun Livingston. The 76ers immediately turned into an offensive lineup.

As the timeout ends, play resumes.

In the Bulls' offense, Jimmy Butler, who had just been substituted, began to try to play his role on the offensive end, but soon he encountered Anxi's blockage.

Anxi defended Jimmy Butler one-on-one, and Jimmy Butler attacked with the ball, but he just took two steps and wanted to break through Anxi. Anxi directly aimed at the opportunity, stretched out his hand, and bang! The ball was stolen!

This is his second steal in this game. Compared with the six blocks he has already made, Anxi has always been a strong stealer, but there were a little less in this game.

But soon, in the next few minutes of the game, Anxi stopped blocking shots and switched to steals. He made two steals in a row, one to steal Jimmy Butler's breakthrough, and the other to steal a pass from E'Twaun Moore to Jimmy Bart. Le, was intercepted by Anxi in the middle. Two or three minutes later, Anxi's steal data also reached 4 times.

The game reached the middle of the second quarter, and the 76ers narrowed the point difference to less than 5 points. Tom Thibodeau couldn't sit still, called another timeout, and replaced Derrick Rose.

The main players played continuously, and the intensity of the Bulls' game increased. Derrick Rose was in good condition in this game. After re-appearing, he continued to grasp the defensive shortcomings of the 76ers point guard position, making continuous single breakthroughs, even at the expense of his old Injury, continuous breakthroughs in different directions, and actually hit a 6:0 climax near the end of the second quarter, once again widening the point difference to 10 points.

The Bulls won the first half at 52:62. They scored 62 points themselves, leaving the 76ers with only 52 points. The first half of the game largely demonstrated the toughness of the Bulls' defense.

After the first half of the game, Anxi's evaluation of the Bulls also changed. He felt that if Derrick Rose could maintain this performance, the Bulls would not even be worse than the Cavaliers because the Bulls' defense is too strong. , What is lacking is offense. If Derrick Rose was there in the first half, the Bulls' offense would not have any problems.

In the first half, Anxi scored 21 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals and 7 blocks, a very comprehensive and luxurious data, but the team was still 10 points behind, which means Anxi did not do enough. .

The intermission ended quickly, and the two teams re-entered the field. The Bulls once again played their main lineup, and the 76ers sent a semi-main lineup, point guard Ishmael Smith, shooting guard An Xi, and small forward Jack. Lowder, power forward Channing Frye and center Nerlens Noel.

The point guard sent Ishmael Smith. Brett Brown's idea was also very simple. Derrick Rose was about to go berserk. Obviously the 76ers needed to restrict him. Anxi needed to defend Jimmy Butler, so his best way was to replace him. Ishmael Smith, who is good at defense, directly marked Derrick Rose.

The ball was in the hands of the Bulls at the beginning of the second half. Derrick Rose directly received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. He began to attack the 76ers' interior.

Derrick Rose broke through with the ball, and Ishmael Smith's defense was also very tenacious, following Rose closely.

Rose broke through two steps. Seeing that he could not break through Ishmael Smith's clinging defense, he thought for a second. He had two options. One was to ignore the old knee injury and directly force a change of direction to speed up the pass. , but this option was quickly abandoned by Ross

After suffering a series of serious injuries, Rose knew very well that unless it was necessary, it was better to avoid doing such actions that hurt the body.

Therefore, he chose another method, stopping suddenly and then shooting a jump shot.

Ishmael Smith defended very well. When he saw Derrick Rose making an emergency stop, he braked in time and then turned around, directly interfering with Derrick Rose's jump shot.

With a bang, Derrick Rose hit a jumper. At this time, Anxi, who happened to be under the basket, picked up the rebound, and a counterattack was immediately launched.

Anxi took the ball and rushed to the frontcourt. Three or two Bulls defensive players had already returned to defend, but Anxi did not stop because of this. He continued to accelerate and rushed inside. Taking advantage of the Bulls' defensive footing, he rushed into the penalty area. , against Joakim Noah's defense, it was a layup.

With a swoosh, the ball goes in!

2 points were obtained, 54:62, and the point difference was narrowed to 8 points.

The Bulls' offense still had Derrick Rose holding the ball. He rushed to the frontcourt without any fake moves and directly hit a three-pointer. Ishmael Smith didn't expect this shot at all. Fortunately, Rose's shot was a little hasty. , the ball did not go in, the iron was struck.

Nolens Noel inside protected the rebound, and the 76ers counterattacked with another fast break, rushing to the frontcourt, and Anxi assisted Jae Crowder for a dunk.

Another two points were obtained, 56:62, with 6 points left.

In the second half of the game, the 76ers launched continuous defensive fast-break counterattacks, and then the Bulls' offense became cautious.

This time, Derrick Rose didn't take a shot casually anymore. He controlled it for a while and made another breakthrough. Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Ismael Smith's defense, he could only pass the ball to Jimmy Butler on the other side.

The Bulls' offense is actually a two-man game between Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler. If Derrick Rose can't open the ball, the ball will naturally go to Jimmy Butler.

Jimmy Butler played Anxi alone, and time was running out. He directly chose to attack from behind and beat Anxi hard.

But Anxi's strength was beyond what Jimmy Butler could do. Therefore, after two strong blows, Jimmy Butler had no choice but to see that time was running out. He could only turn his back and shoot a fadeaway jumper. Fortunately, he shot The position is within his shooting range, so Jimmy Butler is still very sure of this shot.

Jimmy Butler jumped up, and Anxi jumped up too. In the air, Butler twisted his waist and abdomen, trying to avoid Anxi's block.

But obviously, Jimmy Butler underestimated Anxi's jumping height. When he used all his strength to stay in the air, trying to dodge Anxi's block, Anxi continued to rise, and covered it with his big hand, bang!

A crisp sound resounded in the Wachovia Arena, and then, with a bang, the Wachovia Arena shook.

"The 8th block in a single game! Anxi is crazy! His hot pot feast has already been 8 times, and the bull is almost full!"

The basketball flew out of the baseline, and the Bulls had the ball, but there was only more than 1 second left in 24 seconds, and time was already insufficient.

The Bulls served from the baseline, and Derrick Rose took the ball and shot. With a bang, he didn't score. Instead, he got another rebound for Anxi.

After grabbing the rebound, Anxi rushed to the frontcourt and hit a chasing three-pointer. With a bang, the ball went in!

At 59:62, with several consecutive rounds of successful defense and subsequent successful counterattack, the 76ers directly reduced the point difference to 3 points, a goal difference.

But then, Derrick Rose began to show off his power. He had potential, but he was always afraid to use it due to his physical limitations. Now as the 76ers continue to chase points, Derrick Rose can't stand it anymore. For two consecutive games A single with a high-speed change of direction helped the Bulls stabilize the situation.

However, the 76ers evened the score at the end of the third quarter.

Tied at 80:80, the two teams played a draw and entered the fourth quarter of the game, which was also the real decisive stage.
