Chapter 638: Fish Belly Team?

On January 1, 2014, unknowingly, An Jie had walked to 2014, which sounded very unfamiliar, accompanied by basketball. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 InfoWhen Anjie entered the world of professional basketball in '08, he never imagined what he would become in 2014.

At that time, he just wanted to survive in the NBA and just wanted to make a living by playing basketball. But now, AnJie has become one of the hottest stars in the world. At that time, when Ricard was on the street court, he felt that anything could happen to Anjie. It's not, MVP, championships, money, honors. Indeed, there are too many incredible things that have happened to An Jie.

Speaking of the regular season, last season's New Year's Day, the Trail Blazers' big game against the Knicks in New York was very gratifying. Thanks to the Chinese New Year's Day holiday and wonderful performances on both sides, David. It was also the first time that Stern had discovered that the ratings would be so gratifying that Chinese players were originally scheduled to participate during the New Year's Day in China.

So this year, Stern specially arranged a "New Year's Day fight" for Anjie and Chinese fans.

Full of Chinese-style match promotion, newly designed jerseys for both sides with Chinese team names printed on them. And the "lucky" to become the opponent of the Trail Blazers in the New Year's Day battle is the Philadelphia 76ers, who have started high and low this year.

Don't underestimate the 76ers, David. Stern believes that when a game is given a special meaning, even the weaker side will burst into good prowess.

The 76ers haven't had many games this season that have been broadcast live across the United States, let alone a huge crowd as far away as Asia. Therefore, everyone on the 76ers will definitely seize the opportunity to perform to the fullest. After all, playing in a small market and a small team, there are not many opportunities to be famous.

Who is going to have trouble with money? Especially for the 76ers players who have received little attention, the word honor has nothing to do with them for the time being. Wrapping up their popularity and money first is the first thing they need to consider now.

Therefore, for this New Year's Day battle, the players of the 76ers have prepared a lot. Even though the 76ers' current 11-21 record is far from the Trail Blazers' 29-3 record, isn't that what happens often in the NBA?

Miracles happen here, and the slogan is so apt for this game.

Michael. Carter. Williams, the guy with a very "domineering" name, is the biggest surprise of the Philadelphia 76ers this year.

At the start of the season, 76ers fans even called him Philadelphia's "new answer." On the day of the opening game, even Iverson, who was watching the game live, would give McCarvey a standing ovation from time to time.

In the first week, McCarvey led the 76ers to a three-game winning streak. The first phase of ESPN's power rankings ranked the 76ers in second place, second only to the Trailblazers led by An Jie.

Since then, however, McCarvey's results have gradually returned to calm. Although he can still play a shining moment, the 76ers are once again on the road of no return to losing.

The 76ers have gone from a glorified early season to a lack of interest, with Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center Arena leaving a large number of empty seats almost every game. Journalists are never keen to go to Philadelphia for interviews, after all, how much news can a team with the goal of being the first pick pick have to dig for you?

Therefore, when McCarvey, who was used to being left out in the cold, walked out of the team bus today and saw the current crowd of people, he wondered if he had been playing in the fake NBA.

The entrance of the Moda Center has long been surrounded by reporters, not only local media in the United States, but also many yellow-skinned and black-haired reporters. In the New Year's Day war, people came to Anjie and the pioneers. But I have to admit that the 76ers, who are the opponents of the Trail Blazers, are also stained with a lot of light.

It took a lot of effort for the 76ers players to squeeze through the crowd and walk into the Moda Center. Even Thaddeus. Yang, a guy who entered the league a year earlier than An Jie, has never seen such a big show.

"It's crazy." Thaddeus. Young's first words after entering the visiting team's locker room resonated strongly with his teammates.

"I've never seen so many foreigners in my life, and today, I can see what it means to have a population of 1.3 billion." The 76ers' second-year rookie who was traded by the Grizzlies and backup guard Tony Brown. Roten was surprised by the number of people outside the stadium just now.

"You idiot, the crowded formation just outside is all over the streets of China." 10 years list eye Evan. Turner took Tony. Luo Teng, after all, the number of 1.3 billion is really unimaginable for this group of guys.

"Okay, we're not going to travel to China, so let's stop your fantasies about the Oriental country for the time being. In front of so many people, if we can win, it will completely change the outside world's perception of us! "76ers coach Brett . Brown closed the locker room door, and although management didn't give Brown any tasks, Brown couldn't let the 76ers lose like that.

"Look at the new jerseys in your closet, the Chinese characters written on your chests I don't even recognize. Everyone sees this game as a carnival between An Jie and the Chinese. But we are going to stir up the malice of the Yellow Alliance! The whole world is waiting to see Anjie slaughter us so that the Chinese can have a happy holiday. But we're an NBA-caliber team, not lambs to be slaughtered! "Brett. Brown's emotions are rarely so emotional, because the league's attitude towards this game has made Brown feel ashamed.

Everyone decided that the 76 determination had failed, and everyone waited to see An Jie complete the massacre. What about the 76ers? They're just foils. This kind of naked contempt is unacceptable to Brown.

After Brown said this, the 76ers players put away their hippie smiles. Yes, since when have they become accustomed to failure. Isn't victory what these lads were looking for in the first place?

Thaddeus. Yang is in good shape, and he has been in good form in training and competition recently. Evan. Turner's eyes have also become determined, and as a role model, he always wants to prove himself.

As for McCarvey, the guy looked at the jersey with Chinese characters printed on his chest. What rookie hasn't thought about becoming famous? What rookie doesn't want to make a name for himself?

In the first game of the season, he had already beaten James. Today, McCarvey is going to compete with Anjie, a guy who is on an equal footing with James! Anjie went from being an underdog, to now the league arranges games specifically for him and his country. McCarvey wants to be one of those players as well.

Fans have poured into the stadium, with lots of yellow-skinned guys occupying large swaths of the stands. Rickard is still controlling his volume, but what about Angel? As always, he encouraged his teammates to push forward before the game.

Everything looked as expected, with high ratings, high attendance, no pressure on opponents, and easy holiday games......

But at this time, in the visiting locker room, the 76ers are ready to break all the rules.

New Year's Day war, the 76ers don't plan to play the role of a clown who brings joy to others.

Speaking of the 76ers, An Jie's impression can be traced back to his first game in the NBA. In the 2008-2009 preseason, the Oklahoma City Thunder faced the Philadelphia 76ers. That day, Anjie learned for the first time what an NBA-level game is.

That game was Anjie's deepest memory of the 76ers. However, Iguodala, the star of the 76ers team at the beginning, has now become the right and left hand to assist Anjie.

Since changing the team logo and jersey, the 76ers can really be described as a blank in Anjie's mind. The change of team management and the reshuffle of players made Iguodala, a guy who played for the 76ers for five seasons, feel unfamiliar.

The current 76ers seem to be a brand new team with an old name, so before the game, Anjie did not greet or hug any players of the 76ers. It's not that An Jie looks down on each other, it's that he really doesn't know the group of guys opposite.

Prior to this, the Trail Blazers had played the 76ers twice. There is no doubt that in both games, the 76ers contributed to the Trail Blazers' 26-game winning streak.

Facing such a "harmless" opponent, An Jie also played quite easily after the opening.

He didn't talk nonsense with Hoys, because to deal with this kind of guy, there is no need for Anjie to spew trash talk.

In the first round, An Jie just relied on Howard-style brute force in the three-second zone to push off Hawes and dunk under the basket.

Anjie's offense like a fish in water under the basket made the Trail Blazers fans firm their determination to win.

"Damn, there's no way to defend it!" Hawes angrily smashed the basketball, and it bounced back into his hands. But this still could not alleviate the resentment in his heart.

"Don't be so anxious about Spencer, look at this scene, look at this group of guys cheering for Anjie. Let them be happy a little longer, and today, we're going to put on a good show for this damn Christmas war! "Thaddeus. Young patted Hawes on the shoulder and ran toward the front with his head held high.

Today, the 76ers must seize this rare opportunity to play a different game!

This is the New Year's Day battle, not the New Year's Day carnival!
