61 points, 7 consecutive 50+ games, 15 consecutive wins......

The three numbers made Anxi once again the focus of the United States and even the world after the game. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Anxi is making history......"

A German media that originally only reported football caught up with the heat of Anxi at this time and typed the above headline.

Indeed, no matter how you look at it, the current Anxi is making history.

An unprecedented five-double, 13 three-pointers and 72 points in a single game, and 7 consecutive 50+ games...... This season, after Anxi's return from ban, he continued to explode, constantly shocking, and constantly conquering the world.

Some people say that without those 6 bans, Anxi's season would have been more perfect.

But some people also say that if there were no six bans, it is not certain whether Anxi's almost explosive state would have appeared after that......

And after Anxi completed 7 consecutive 50+ performances, there are also many fans who don't pay too much attention to and tout this achievement, and these fans are Anxi's domestic fans.

In the news at the top of the headlines, the comments are like this.

"I'm here, what do you say?

"You're welcome, I'll blow it first, Anxi is the strongest in NBA history!"

"Don't blow it, if you blow it again, it's milk, but don't kill Anxi's milk, he still has to break this record!"

"Yes, don't blow it now, it's not too late to blow it when Anxi gets the eighth 50+!"

"What if I can't get it?"

"Crow's mouth, how can you not get it?"

Then, the building was crooked, and everyone who followed the post was spraying the netizen who said he couldn't get it.

In the United States, Anxi's momentum has become bigger and bigger, and he has more and more fans in the United States, many people remember that last season Anxi was also boycotted by almost the whole United States because of the All-Star voting issue, and this season, no matter what kind of move Anxi makes, Americans will not boycott Anxi, because Anxi is the real strongest in the NBA.

In this world that believes in the strong, Anxi has firmly occupied the first place.

Before the game against the New York Knicks, many people were speculating about what kind of crazy data Anxi would cut, after 7 consecutive games of 50+, Anxi has every chance to occupy this consecutive record alone, the opponent Knicks is currently the penultimate team in the East, it can be said that as long as Anxi's state does not decline, in the next game, Anxi will get another 50+, which is almost at his fingertips.

Therefore, the most critical issue is the state of Anxi.

Before the game, the media suddenly became one-sided optimistic that Anxi could break this record.

After all, there is only one Knicks left in front of Anxi, the Knicks who are the bottom of the East, the suspense of the outcome of this game is not great, the probability of the 76ers winning is as high as 90%, and after sending away Tyson Chandler, Iman Shambaugh and others, this Knicks no longer have any defensive genes, obviously, they can't stop Anxi's impact.

The only doubt now is whether the Knicks can hold until Anxi scores 50 points, if the Knicks can't hold out at that time, Anxi may have to lose his face and force the court to score points.

However, the media believe that no matter what, Anxi will score 50 points in the next game, after all, it is the first level of data record in history.

Everyone believes that even if the Knicks can't survive the last moment, Anxi will continue to play and score 50 points.

Because of Anxi's 50+ consecutive game record, this game between the first in the East and the penultimate in the East was temporarily adjusted by Turner Sports to the number of live broadcasts in the United States, and three commentators were dispatched, Mike Bryn, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O'Neal.

Charles Barkley didn't come, but such a commentary lineup can already show how serious Turner Sports is about this game.

Turner Sports' strongest commentator Mike Brin, famous Kenny Smith, and Turner Sports' most popular Shaquille O'Neal, just the commentary lineup, is already a little star-studded.

And when Anxi was about to break Chamberlain's record, the 76ers also decided to invite several team celebrities to watch this important game.

Allen Iverson, Julius Owen, Deacon Bemutombo and others were all on the sidelines.

In the face of the unanimous optimism about Anxi's situation in the outside world, Carmelo Anthony is very unconvinced.

Anthony was arrogant, and he suddenly fell into such a situation this season, which he didn't expect, what he didn't expect was that Phil Jackson came, and the team forced the triangle tactics to practice, but the effect was not good, and the game was lost again and again.

Then, Anthony himself suffered an injury and missed a lot of games, and officially because of the injury, Phil Jackson made a direct decision that the rest of the season would be spent in a mess.

As a result, Iman Shambaugh and J.R. Smith left the team, and through a few trades, the Knicks' roster was suddenly filled with a large number of NBDL players, which looked extremely miserable.

Even Anthony's comeback can't stop the Knicks' losing streak.

But Carmelo Anthony still thinks highly of himself, and Anthony is very angry about the outside world's low opinion of the Knicks, but he is a person who is not good at expressing himself, but this time, in the face of the media, Carmelo Anthony still spoke.

He said in front of the media that he would not let Anxi score 50 points, and no matter what way he used, he would stop Anxi.

Regardless of such rhetoric, it becomes a joke to the ears of many NBA practitioners who know Anthony.

Carmelo Anthony wants to stop Anxi from scoring? Didn't Anthony know that his biggest weakness was his defense? So, almost everyone listened to Anthony's pre-game rhetoric as a joke.

Compared with Anthony's defense, many reporters think that Anthony's offense in this game may bring some threats to the 76ers team.

Before the game, Mike Brin carefully analyzed the matchup between the two teams.

After the Knicks sent away Iman Shambaugh, the outside line did not even have a qualified defensive player, and in this game, in the face of the strong challenge of the 76ers, the Knicks could only put a starting lineup of point guard Jose Calderon, scoring guard Langston Galloway, small forward Carmelo Anthony, power forward Luis Armondson and center Jason Smith.

Derek Fisher may fine-tune this lineup, for example, Lance Stallomas on the bench may start and take on the heavy responsibility of defending Anxi, but even Lance Stallmas, he is only a short man, and Lance Stallmas's defense can only be regarded as average, and he can't prevent a superstar like An Xi at all.

Therefore, Mike Brin's conclusion is: "Maybe the New York Knicks can consider the tactic of a five-man bag, directly use all the players on the court to clamp Anxi, and not let Anxi score at all." ”

Of course, this is just a joke, and the five-man wrap-and-go tactic is unlikely to appear on the NBA court.

But this joke reflects a reality, that is, no matter what, the New York Knicks can't stop Anxi's outburst.

At the Wachovia Arena, the game was soon underway.

The starters of both teams stood in the middle of the field, and Derrick Fisher really made changes to the team's starting line-up.

The sloppy Jose Calderon didn't start, Langston Galloway and Tim Hardaway II partnered in the backcourt, with Lanstomas at small forward and Carmelo Anthony and Jason Smith on the inside.

This starting lineup obviously enhances the hardness of the outside, and the intensity of the defense is not enough, so Derrick Fisher thinks about using hardness to make up.

On the 76ers' side, McCarvey has entered the transfer process, so he has no chance to play now, the starting point guard is still Ismael Smith, the scoring guard Anxi, the small forward Jack Crowder, the power forward Pau Gasol and the center Noren Snoll, a regular starting lineup.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began......
