Super Role Player

Nolens Noel got the rebound, and Anxi received the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

On the perimeter, Iman Shumpert mainly defends Anxi. This Cavaliers new aid played well in his rookie season. At that time, he was compared with Anxi at that time. After all, their rookie season statistics were similar, both were about 10 points. Other statistics are not high, and his roles in the team are basically the same - defense and three-pointers.

But after three seasons, the status of the two is very different.

Iman Shumpert was very nervous at this time. He knew the power of Anxi on the offensive end, so he became very careful.

But Anxi played a little unreasonably. He directly took the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left side, hit it hard with his back, then turned around directly, made a turn-over jumper, and hit a two-pointer. 2:0, the 76ers took the lead.

Anxi used his best method to score a goal. The role of the Cavaliers' new aid Iman Shumpert failed to show up. LeBron James was also helpless. He knew that he might not be able to defend the ball if he was asked to defend it. , not to mention Iman Shumpert.

Subsequently, in the Cavaliers' offense, Kelly Irving and Mozgov played a pick-and-roll, and Ishmael Smith was very close, so he was passed in the first step after the pick-and-roll.

Fortunately, there was Anxi on the inside. Anxi directly defended and blocked Kelly Irving's subsequent pull-up jumper. Nerlens Noel got the rebound again, and the 76ers' counterattack followed.

Anxi received the pass and rushed to the frontcourt with all his speed.

All the Cavaliers' defense immediately tilted towards Anxi, and almost everyone thought Anxi was going to pass the ball.

"Frontcourt! Jack Crowder's chance! Anxi passes the ball!"

Turner Sports commentator Reggie Miller yelled, and then he discovered that Anxi did not pass the ball, and he was a little anxious at the moment.

"Pass the ball!"

He shouted again, but Anxi on the court was a little determined. He did not pass the ball, but chose to do it himself.

Anxi accelerated in one step and passed Iman Shumpert. Then, against LeBron James's defense, he rushed inside and made a layup!

"Beautiful! Anxi ignored the Cavaliers' defense and broke through the Cavaliers' defense alone!" At this moment, Reggie Miller didn't care whether Anxi's play was reasonable or not, because Anxi's ball was too tough, and it was simply unavailable. Can block it.

4:0, the Cavaliers had to score, so LeBron James took the ball himself.

Beat up Jae Crowder.

This season, Jae Crowder has made significant progress. Not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end, he can also defend the opponent's arrow players. However, when facing a scorer of LeBron James's level, Jae Crowder's defense is also somewhat weak.

LeBron James broke through with all his strength, bulldozed away Jae Crowder, rushed to the three-point line, made an emergency stop jumper, and sent the basketball into the basket before Anxi could defend.

4:2, the Cavaliers finally scored.

The 76ers were not in a hurry. Anxi slowly slowed down the rhythm and continued the positional battle.

He controlled the ball into the frontcourt and then motioned for his teammates to pull away.

As a result, Jack Crowder and others spread out and formed a trapezoidal position, leaving all the space in the middle for Anxi.

Anxi set up a singles stance, and now it was time to test Iman Shumpert again.

Iman Shumpert became more and more nervous. In this state, it was difficult for him to guard Anxi's singles.

"Anxi is going to play alone again. His desire to attack is a bit high in this game. He scored 50 points in the last game. Maybe he can score a high score in this game too!"

Three consecutive singles, Anxi rarely played like this this season, so Reggie Miller noticed the difference.

Then, the singles in Anxi began...

With a very quick first step, Anxi passed Iman Shumpert almost as soon as he took it.

Iman Shumpert's defender's instinct made him turn around and keep up with Anxi, but then, Anxi rushed two steps and suddenly braked to a sudden stop. Iman Shumpert couldn't keep up with this step.

Anxi made an emergency stop and took a step back jumper.

Uh-huh!

The crisp sound of net wiping sounded. Anxi scored three goals in a row and scored 6 points, 6:2. The Cavaliers fans in the stadium suddenly fell silent.

The excitement before the game no longer existed. Anxi was so unbelievable that Cavaliers fans had never seen Anxi like this live.

After all, the Cavaliers in previous seasons were weak teams and there was no need for Anxi to explode like this. This season, facing the Cavaliers with LeBron James returning, Anxi went all out at the beginning and completely exploded.

Only then did the Cavaliers fans realize how powerful Anxi was. He scored three goals in a row, a turnaround jumper, a fast break that used physical talent, and the last step-back jumper. Each of the three goals was simple.

The simpler the offensive scoring, the more powerful Anxi is shown. He can score easily without making too flashy moves.

In the Cavaliers' offense, LeBron James hit a high post and accelerated to push Jae Crowder into the paint.

This time Anxi failed to defend, and LeBron James found the opportunity, rushed inside and dunked successfully.

All of a sudden, Quicken Loans Arena exploded.

When Anxi scored three goals in a row, the entire audience was silent and everyone was suppressed, until LeBron James' dunk knocked back all the Cavaliers' morale.

Facing the atmosphere at Quicken Loans Arena that was getting intense again, Anxi was indifferent. However, after LeBron James dunked, he glanced at him, which inspired Anxi's fighting spirit, and Anxi decided to return the ball.

He hasn't played answerball for a long time, but when he saw LeBron James, who can be said to be his biggest enemy, Anxi's fighting spirit came back.

In the same high post, Anxi also completely passed Iman Shumpert, and finally rushed into the penalty area with the same dunk!

With a bang, the Cavaliers fans at the scene immediately stopped.

"Eight points in a row! Anxi's explosive state is so awesome!"

"Without a three-pointer, is this the same Anxi that broke the three-point record before?"

As soon as Reggie Miller finished speaking, the Cavaliers' shot missed. The 76ers counterattacked again. Anxi hit a chasing three-pointer during the counterattack. He was two steps away from the three-point line. There was no one to defend him and he hit it with one hit. !

At 11:4, the point difference was widened to 7 points by Anxi, who was in great form!

The Cavaliers attacked, and LeBron James' face was as dark as water. He broke through again, rushed to the inside, attracted Anxi's double-team, and distributed the basketball to the outside. Kelly Irving caught the ball, shook Ishmael Smith, and headed towards the three-point line. He took a step inside and hit a jumper.

11:6……

Anxi's hand was completely hot. At this time, he rushed to the inside and hit another three-pointer three steps away from the three-point line.

The moment the ball was released, Reggie Miller shouted: "In! Another three-pointer!"

Then the next second, there was a swish sound, three points in the bag!

At 14:6, Anxi scored 14 points in a row in the opening game, and the offensive end completely exploded.

Then, he continued to show off his power and scored consecutively, completely opening up his scoring account in the first quarter.

The Cavaliers also quickly regained their form, and under the leadership of LeBron James and Kelly Irving, they gradually took advantage of the score.

The two teams fought an offensive battle in the first quarter, and the scene was exciting, which made Reggie Miller in the commentary box also cheered.

Soon, the first quarter ended with the 76ers leading 38:32. Anxi made 10 of 14 shots in the first quarter and scored 27 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. It completely exploded. In contrast, LeBron James was completely defeated by Anxi. Completely crushed, LeBron James scored 13 points in the first quarter.

Normally LeBron James's 13 points are not low, but unfortunately, in this game he encountered a monster like Anxi, and his 13 points became dim.

At 27 points in the first quarter, Anxi's score in this game rushed to a high score. The Cavaliers felt bad. David Blatt scratched his head anxiously, trying to stop Anxi.
