Super Role Player

In the remaining 12 games in March, the 76ers lost two of them. Just like that, at the end of March, the 76ers had a record of 60 wins and 15 losses, locking in the first place in the Eastern Conference one step ahead.

In the remaining 7 games in April, the 76ers steadily won another 7 games in a row. Counting the winning streak in March, at the end of the season, the 76ers won another 10 or more games in a row.

Throughout the season, the 76ers achieved four consecutive victories of more than 10 games, which is an unusual feat.

In the end, the 76ers' record was 67 wins and 15 losses, ranking first in the league.

Anxi averaged 35.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 3.2 steals and 1.4 blocks per game during the season, winning the scoring and steals titles of the season. With such a record and personal data, Anxi is the regular season MVP.

In addition, Anxi also has the opportunity to compete for several other awards.

Most Improved Player Award. Last season, Anxi averaged 29.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 8.4 assists, 3.4 steals and 0.9 blocks per game. This season, Anxi's scoring increased by 6 points and rebounds increased by 3.8 compared to last season. , assists increased by 1.3, steals increased by 0.2, blocks increased by 0.5, and all five basic statistics increased, especially points and rebounds, which increased significantly.

Therefore, Anxi also has a good chance of winning the Most Improved Player Award.

The best defensive player, Anxi's defensive statistics, 8 rebounds, 3.2 steals and 1.4 blocks are all very high. He ranks first in the league in steals, top 30 in rebounds, and top 15 in blocks. position, the 76ers' overall defense is also good. This season, the 76ers' average points allowed per game can rank third in the league.

Coupled with Anxi's personal defensive performance on the court, Anxi is very likely to win this heavyweight regular season honor this season.

Needless to say about other things, a burst of defense, no one can squeeze Anxi down for these two honors.

The league's selection of several regular season awards began a week ago, and when the regular season ends, all selections will end, and the selection results will be announced one by one in the playoffs.

Anxi didn't pay much attention to the several awards in the regular season. He knew that no matter whether he paid attention or not, the awards had already been judged. If it belongs to him, it will still be his. If it doesn't belong to him, there is no need to think too much about it. What really matters It’s the playoffs that are about to start next…

In the playoffs, the 76ers are No. 1 in the Eastern Conference. In the first round, their opponent will be the Boston Celtics, ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference.

The Celtics performed amazingly this season. They were still in the rebuilding period, but they made consecutive trades in the middle of the season, sending away LaGarondo in exchange for Isaiah Thomas. No one expected that this transaction would directly cost the Celtics People took off.

Compared with LaGarondo, Isaiah Thomas is more suitable for the system of young coach Brad Stevens. In the second half of the season, Isaiah Thomas, who is known as the strongest 1.75 meter on the face of the earth, played 21 games and averaged 10 points per game. 19.0 points, 2.1 rebounds and 5..4 assists helped the Celtics lock in a playoff spot at the end of the season.

However, this matchup is considered to have no suspense. On the one hand, the 76ers are too strong. In the regular season, the 76ers easily won the first place in the league. Anxi's statistics are very gorgeous, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the regular season The Anxi competition is obviously not full Anxi.

What's more, Anxi was suspended for six games in the regular season. The 76ers lost 5 of those six games. If Anxi had not been suspended, and if Anxi had played harder in the regular season, maybe the Bulls' 72-win record would have been achieved. There's a chance it won't be guaranteed.

On the other hand, the Celtics' strengths and weaknesses are too obvious and easy to target.

The Celtics' strong point is Isaiah Thomas on the outside, but with a height of only 1.75 meters, Isaiah Thomas's performance in the playoffs is hard to be optimistic about.

The perimeter defense of Anxi and Ismail Smith alone is enough to drink Isaiah Thomas.

The Celtics' weaknesses are also obvious. They lack a strong inside line. The starting power forward is Jared Sullinger, who has never been able to fulfill his potential. The center is Olynyk and Tyler Zeller in rotation, but regardless of Olynyk Neither Tyler Zeller has the strength to start at the starting level. Facing the one-offense and one-defense inside combination of Nerlens Noel and Pau Gasol, such an inside combination is obviously easy to penetrate.

Therefore, in the first round matchup, the 76ers did not have much pressure.

In the second round, the 76ers will face the winner between the Chicago Bulls and the Toronto Raptors, who are fourth in the Eastern Conference.

The Bulls' performance this season is average. Although Derrick Rose is back, Rose's contribution on the court is more negative. He only performed at critical moments. But if they really encounter the 76ers, the Bulls may not even be able to reach the critical moment. , let alone play.

Many teams are very optimistic about the Raptors. The combination of Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan in the backcourt is favored by many people. Valanciunas is also very good in the paint. If the Raptors have anything If there are shortcomings, it must be the lack of an excellent defensive wing and the lack of a qualified starting power forward.

For the 76ers, if they can face the Raptors in the second round, promotion will become easy again, because Anxi can completely crush DeMar DeRozan who is in the same position as him.

In addition to these four teams, the second-placed Eagles in the Eastern Conference will face the seventh-placed Bucks in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks have made significant progress under the leadership of Jason Kidd this season. They have grown from last season in the league to a playoff-level team. team, but overall, the Bucks' young players have not fully grown up. Facing the veteran Hawks, the Bucks lack a truly powerful point. In this matchup, most people are still more optimistic about the Hawks.

The Cavaliers, who are third in the Eastern Conference, will face the Wizards, who are sixth in the Eastern Conference. The strength gap in this matchup is actually not big. The Cavaliers have the Big Three, but the Wizards also have John Wall, Bradley Beal and Marcin Gortat.

It's just that none of these three can compare with LeBron James. After several transactions in the middle of the season, the Cavaliers gradually entered the state. In addition to still being unable to defeat the 76ers, other teams are really not the Cavaliers' opponents. , so in this matchup, more people are optimistic that the Cavaliers will advance to the next round.

In the Western Conference, the 65-win Warriors rank first in the Western Conference, and their opponent is the New Orleans Pelicans, eighth in the Western Conference.

The second-place Houston Rockets in the Western Conference faced off against the seventh-place Dallas Mavericks.

The Clippers, third in the Western Conference, faced off against the Spurs, sixth in the Western Conference.

The Trail Blazers, fourth in the Western Conference, faced off against the fifth-ranked Memphis Grizzlies.

After the regular season officially ends, the playoffs begin for him...
