Super Role Player

Before the jump ball, Anxi stood quietly at the end of the starting five. When he looked up, he saw Carmelo Anthony pulling Lance Thomas and saying something.

Anxi showed a smile. He guessed what Anthony was talking to Lance Thomas, so after the game started, Anxi faced Lance Thomas' defense. He said hello to Lance Thomas, and then smiled: "I heard this Your mission is to seal me off in this game? I'm looking forward to it."

Lance Thomas broke out in a cold sweat immediately. In this game, he was chasing a duck. Against Anxi, how could he dare to say the word "kill".

But it's obvious that Anxi has already determined this. Lance Thomas will be miserable in this game. Even Tony Allen can't guard Anxi one-on-one. How can he guard Anxi?

Therefore, when the basketball was passed to Anxi's hands, Lance Thomas couldn't help but become nervous.

Anxi got the ball at the top of the arc, and in the commentary box, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith started a discussion.

"Anxi has the ball. It seems that he will start his personal mode at the beginning of the game."

"This is not surprising. In the last seven games, Anxi has turned on the personal mode from the beginning. In this game, Anxi's goal is 50 points. It is normal to turn on the personal mode at the beginning. His scoring task is very heavy, and he must It exploded from the opening.”

On the court, Anxi was short with the ball and looked like he was about to start attacking.

He turned his back and pushed directly in front of Lance Thomas. Lance Thomas began to observe Anxi's moves from behind Anxi. After Anxi squeezed two steps inside, Lance Thomas made his final guess. He believed that Anxi would choose to turn over and shoot a jump shot to end this wave of offense.

Because he saw Anxi's pre-turn movement, it must be said that Lance Thomas observed it very carefully.

When Anxi turned around and prepared to take a jump shot, Lance Thomas jumped up and flew to interfere.

However, Lance Thomas observed carefully, and Anxi reacted quickly. He discovered the interference from Lance Thomas' flying body. Then, he stopped, took back the basketball, and after a fake move, Anxi slowly took off. Mid-range shot.

With a backward shot, his left elbow touched Lance Thomas' hand, and with a beep, the referee's whistle sounded.

Then, with a swish sound, the basketball accurately got into the basket, 2+1. A wave of cheers broke out at the Wachovia Arena at the beginning, and Anxi also raised his arms in the cheers.

Live DJ passionate broadcast,

The enthusiasm in the arena was instantly ignited.

Anxi walked to the free throw line and after steadily hitting the extra free throw, he said to Lance Thomas: "Your defense is very good, you almost guarded me."

Lance Thomas's face almost turned black after a piece of trash talk that looked like a compliment.

In the Knicks' offense, Carmelo Anthony started to hold the ball. In order to prevent Anxi from breaking the record, Carmelo Anthony, who knew that his defense was poor, finally handed over the responsibility of defending Anxi to his teammates, and he will be on the offensive end. and Anxi, so in this game, Carmelo Anthony also played very resolutely on the offensive end.

A low post, turnaround jump shot.

But obviously, Carmelo Anthony's touch is not that good yet, and the ball was struck due to the interference of Jae Crowder.

In fact, this reflects the gap between Carmelo Anthony and Anxi. The two are both kaleidoscopes on the offensive end, but Anxi does not need to warm up his touch, while Carmelo Anthony must find his touch to explode. Therefore, the gap between the two starts from It showed in the opening scene.

After Carmelo Anthony hit the iron, the rebound was collected by Nerlens Noel, and the 76ers attacked.

The basketball in the frontcourt was once again in the hands of Anxi. Anxi received the ball and directly hit the ball with a high post and made another turnaround jump shot. This time, Lance Thomas did not dare to pounce so hard. Anxi's shot was very easy and he hit the ball directly with a swish.

At 5:0, Anxi scored 5 points in a row in the opening game, and Anxi's scoring performance began.

"There is nothing wrong with Anxi's condition, and the Knicks' defense can't stop Anxi. Maybe Anxi's record of 50+ points in eight consecutive games can no longer be stopped..."

Indeed, after scoring 5 points in the opening game, Anxi's condition and feel were fine. Lance Thomas' defense seemed unable to stop Anxi's offense. Anxi's 8 consecutive games with 50+ points were within easy reach.

The ball was back in the Knicks' hands, and Lance Thomas breathed a sigh of relief.

Carmelo Anthony once again took the ball and played in singles. This time, he scored two points on a back-up single. Carmelo Anthony barely caught up with Anxi's scoring rhythm.

The 76ers attacked, Ishmael Smith passed the ball to Anxi, and Lance Thomas once again began to face Anxi's post-up singles. This time the Knicks quickly chose to double-team, and the defensive Langston Gallo was good. Wei Bao came over, Anxi one-two.

He didn't force himself. Faced with a double team, Anxi chose to distribute the ball.

But the ball was passed out and was directly intercepted by Tim Hardaway II's quick hand. The Knicks counterattacked and Tim Hardaway II scored another 2 points with a layup.

The ball returned to the hands of the 76ers again. Ishmael Smith dribbled the ball past half-court. Anxi once again took the ball in the high post, played a post-up shot, turned around and made a step-back jumper. Whew, he hit again.

"In the third consecutive game, Anxi's post-up singles in the high post have been amazing, no matter how hard he shoots, he can do it!" Kenny Smith explained.

On the other side, Shaquille O'Neal provoked the Knicks' defensive problems: "The Knicks should double-team faster and defend more aggressively. They should force Anxi to pass the ball, or force Anxi to force a shot. .”

But soon, after the Knicks missed another attack, Anxi once again beat Lance Thomas offensively. This time, the Knicks did what Shaquille O'Neal did above, and Langston Galloway quickly double-teamed him. , and was quite aggressive. He forced Anxi directly in front of him and used his own strength to force Anxi to be unable to take action.

So in the middle of the defense, Shaquille O'Neal started to praise: "The Knicks defended well this time, Anxi had to pass the ball!"

But the next second, Anxi surprised everyone.

Anxi squeezed back hard, and after two tentative turns and feints, Anxi suddenly turned over and jumped up, throwing the basketball against Lance Thomas' defense.

Lance Thomas was too close. During Anxi's shooting, his arm touched Anxi's arm. The referee hesitated, but the moment the basketball touched the basket, he still blew the whistle.

A beep sounded together with the sound of the basketball passing through the net, another 2+1!

Lance Thomas already wanted to die. He committed two fouls just three minutes into the game. His important task of defending Anxi failed before he was even halfway through.

Anxi went to the free throw line, Lance Thomas also left the game, Derek Fisher was forced to make a substitution, Carmelo Anthony returned to the third position, and Quincy Essi came on.

With this substitution, the Knicks' already poor perimeter defense became even worse. They had to make adjustments, and then the 1.88-meter-tall Langston Galloway went to defend Anxi, because among the people on the court, Langston Galloway is the Knicks' best perimeter defender.

But the height disadvantage is still quite big. After scoring 10 points in a row in the opening game, Anxi took the ball directly from the outside on the offensive end. This time, he didn't even have to move his back. He just pulled up from the outside to bully Langston Gallo. Wei, who is short, shot a three-pointer.

Not long after, with a swish sound, the ball hit the net.

In the first three minutes, Anxi scored 13 points in a row. Shaquille O'Neal said in surprise: "Anxi scored 5 goals in a row. This state is amazing. It seems that scoring 50+ is too easy for him!"

"Let's see if the Knicks can hold on. If the Knicks can hold off the score, the game in Anxi may be able to hit a higher single-game scoring record." Kenny Smith thought about the higher single-game scoring record. Indeed, just looking at Anxi's performance in the first quarter, a higher single-game scoring record is indeed possible.

When the Knicks attacked, Carmelo Anthony no longer insisted on playing in singles. Obviously, his singles efficiency was not high in the opening game, which was far worse than Anxi who made consecutive shots.

He chose a pass for this ball and assisted Tim Hardaway II for a three-pointer.

Then, the 76ers attacked, and Anxi made another post-up single, but this time the position was a bit to the right, which added a lot of changes to this single.

Langston Galloway faced Anxi from the front, and Quincy Essi rushed over to help defend from the side. However, Anxi made a feint, took advantage of his position, broke through to the baseline, slipped to the baseline and hit the basket, and finally withstood Jason Smith's defense. Successful layup.

15:7, Jason Smith has nothing to do. He is not a long center who protects the frame. In fact, he is more like a power forward. He can shoot from long distances, protect the frame, and protect rebounds. Jason Smith is not the best. He is good at it, so facing the impact of Anxi, Jason Smith has nothing to do.

So, then, Anxi seemed to have found a new way to deal with the Knicks. After the Knicks scored two points in offense, Anxi once again attacked the basket. Jason Smith made a foul and sent Anxi to the free throw line.

Anxi went to the free throw line and made two free throws, 17:9.

The Knicks offense scored again, this time it was Carmelo Anthony who scored from mid-range. At 17:11, the Knicks gradually took advantage of the score.

After gradually solving the offensive problem, the most critical issue for the Knicks is the defense against Anxi. In less than 5 minutes of the opening, Anxi has already scored 17 points in a row. The Knicks can't stop Anxi's scoring at all. Derek Fisher He was also very anxious. After Anxi got the ball, he shouted on the sidelines and asked his players to double-team Anxi as soon as possible.

Anxi was double-teamed. This time it was not only double-teamed, but also Jason Smith, an inside man, was also standing against Anxi.

So, Anxi chose to pass the ball. He did not force it and passed the ball to assist. On the other side, Ismail Smith hit a three-pointer. At 20:11, the 76ers' offense was unstoppable.

Shaquille O'Neal expressed his opinion: "It's not okay to continue playing like this. If we continue to fight like this, the Knicks will definitely lose!"

Mike Breen smiled and retorted: "But the Knicks successfully limited Anxi's scoring."

Kenny Smith on the other side was unhappy: "Can double-teaming restrict Anxi? Mike, maybe you haven't explained too little about the 76ers' games recently. Next thing you know, Anxi's lack of ball cannot be blocked by double-teaming." living."

Indeed, every time he encounters a double-team, Anxi will use off-ball running to break the double-team. No matter how he runs, his opponents cannot guard against Anxi's various coquettish moves.

On the court, in the Knicks' offense, Carmelo Anthony took the ball in the low post, squeezed out Jae Crowder with his *****, then turned around and scored another 2 points.

In this game, Carmelo Anthony scored 8 of the 13 points the Knicks scored, and their offensive performance was still very good. But even so, Anxi did not switch to guard Carmelo Anthony. In this game, his task was to attack, bring some supplementary defense, and defend Carmelo Anthony alone. The effect must be very good, but the 76ers did not There is no need for Anxi to do this. With Jack Crowder here, Anxi only needs to concentrate on attacking. The score is leading anyway.

The 76ers had the ball. Anxi took the ball directly from the backcourt, rushed to the frontcourt and broke through directly.

This time, the Knicks' double team was a step slower, but Anxi accelerated, passed Langston Galloway, broke into the inside and dunked successfully, scoring another two points.

This goal helped Anxi score the 19th point of the game, and so far in the game, Anxi has not missed a goal.

Such powerful data shocked countless people, and Anxi, who was in full form on the offensive end, made people crazy!

The game continued, the Knicks' offense, Carmelo Anthony made a sudden jump shot, and the mid-range shot missed.

Insider Nolens Noel once again grabbed the rebound, and then passed the ball to Anxi. Anxi quickly advanced with the ball, rushed to the frontcourt, and launched a fast break.

He broke through directly from the top of the arc. Before the Knicks could gain a foothold, he made an extremely fast impact and the Knicks' originally not very good defense was immediately thrown into chaos.

At this time, Anxi rushed to the basket, made a layup, and scored two more points. He scored his 21st point in a single quarter. The game time of the first quarter was just over half. It exploded. Anxi's state was completely exploded...

21 points in the first half. If there is such a record, Anxi must have broken it at this time. After all, throughout the first half of the first quarter, Anxi has been playing in isolation. Except for Jack Crowder who missed one shot, Ismail made one. One, and all the remaining shots were taken by Anxi, and every goal was scored.

With this kind of scoring progress and this kind of feel, what record can't be broken?

Even Kenny Smith believes that if Anxi continues to play like this, it is possible to break the single-game scoring record of 100 points.

But soon Anxi also started to hit the ball. In the next wave of attacks, Anxi made a sudden mistake and could only make a jump shot. The jump shot missed, and Anxi got the first shot of the game.

The Knicks bench players on the sidelines were about to cheer, but then they immediately reacted and shut up.

If you cheer when someone hits the iron once, it's too unpromising.

But if they don't cheer this time, they have no chance.

Sure enough, in the next round, Anxi scored again. He hit a three-pointer from a long distance from the outside. He was determined to kill and scored 24 points in a single quarter...

However, after playing for a few more minutes, Anxi got tired. Playing singles continuously throughout the quarter would make anyone else tired, so after Anxi scored 29 points in a single quarter, Anxi was replaced.

This also made everyone in the commentary box regretful, because Anxi is only 4 points away from the record of 33 points in a single quarter. If Anxi is allowed to continue playing, even if it only takes a few shots, this record may be easily broken. .

However, scoring 29 points in a single quarter still brought Anxi infinitely close to the record of 8 consecutive games with 50+ points.
