Chapter 137: The First Promotion in the Playoffs (2-in-1)
The rest of the attributes that can be upgraded seem like a lot, but the three back attributes overlap, and the real ones you can choose from are one without the ball, one pull-up jump shot, one back and one low post. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Four attributes, the highest value is the back body and low post, and if you choose the back body, there are three to choose from, think about it carefully, Olajuwon's back is biased towards the steps under the basket, Karl Malone is biased towards physical confrontation, and Kobe Bryant is the outside back skills, so if you really have to choose, it is best to choose Kobe Bryant's back skills, which are more suitable for Anxi.
But if you think about it carefully, Anxi's back attribute of 80 points is enough now, and the other three attributes are all at 70, and if it is lower, it needs to be improved.
Further, considering that the low-level attribute is not important to Anxi, the choice is simple.
Choosing between a no-ball and a stop-and-go jumper, Anxi didn't think much about it and chose a stop-and-go jumper.
On the one hand, the pull-up jump shot has a bonus value of 3 points higher.
On the other hand, Anxi now needs more offensive means with the ball, which can make him more dangerous when he has the ball.
Therefore, Anxi chose a stop-and-go jump shot.
After choosing to upgrade, An Xi is thinking about more things, and now, he finds that he has too few options for upgrading, especially now that he needs a few skills for interior attack, think about it carefully, at this time, where should he find someone to learn?
An Xi used his brains, and there was a candidate in front of him, Jeff Hornacek, who also had a season with an average of 20+ per game, but obviously Jeff Hornacek was a shooter, and his interior offensive skills were also lacking, and it was useless to count on his father-in-law.
After thinking about it carefully, An Xi could only sigh, maybe he could only count on Pau Gasol.
Pau Gasol's hook is good, the attribute of the bonus may be 80, but the layup is not good, at most about 70, but think about it carefully, it would be good to have it, Anxi will not pick, after thinking about it, Anxi is planning to ask Pau Gasol for advice.
After the first playoff game, the 76ers only had one day of rest, and they did not arrange training, but all the players also went to the training hall for warm-up training, which also gave Anxi a chance.
The morning training was spent carelessly, and in the afternoon, after a nutritious meal, James Anderson proposed to go to the court for a three-on-five game to digest lunch, but Anxi shook his head and refused.
Turning to look at Pau Gasol, he made his request without turning around at all: "Paul, there is something I want to ask you. ”
Pau Gasol has been with the 76ers for two or three months, and on the whole he has been very humble and has no quarrels, but after the end of the game or practice, he has not crossed paths with the team much.
Therefore, when Anxi asked for something to ask, Pau Gasol was also startled, thinking that something was wrong.
But when he arrived at the arena, An Xi asked: "Paul, I heard that your inside hook is very good, can you guide me." ”
Pau Gasol breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and nodded: "Of course." ”
Pau Gasol knows that Anxi is a hard-working player, just like Kobe Bryant in Los Angeles, who often trains himself, and now hopes to learn the inside hook, the purpose is naturally to continue to strengthen himself, as a teammate Pau Gasol is naturally very happy to help Anxi, he also hopes to make contributions in the 76ers, and this requires Anxi's continued progress, in Pau Gasol's view, the current Anxi, from Kobe Bryant back then, there are still some gaps.
……
After the rest day, the first playoff game of the first round of the East and West was all over, the Pacers lost to the Hawks 93-101 in the first game, they lost in an upset, Paul George was in a very bad mood, and the second game had to be won, if he didn't win, the Pacers' strength to challenge the Heat would be greatly reduced.
The 76ers' 26-point home win over the Bobcats proved the strength of the 76ers, and the media believes that the 76ers may really become the biggest opponent of the Heat in the playoffs.
The Heat faced the Nets, who killed them four times in the regular season, but the game was relatively easy, and the game ended at the end of the game, 107:86, the Heat won the Nets by 21 points, and they proved with their actions that the regular season is really different from the playoffs.
The last group of matchups in the East, the Bulls vs. the Raptors, the two teams are logically equal, but the first game was also spent, and it was the Raptors who won, they brutalized the Bulls by 19 points in the third quarter, and let some points difference in the fourth quarter, and finally defeated the Bulls by 102:93, 9 points.
However, the Bulls recovered 10 points in the final quarter, which still made people doubt the gold content of the Raptors' victory.
On the West side, the Spurs beat the Mavericks by 5 points in the first game 90:85, although it was the eighth to squeeze into the playoffs, but the Mavericks performed no worse, if it wasn't for the bad luck in the final quarter, it was hard to say who won and who lost this game.
The Thunder defeated the Grizzlies 100-86 in the first game, and the Grizzlies' defense brought a lot of difficulties to the Thunder, and the game was also very difficult.
The Clippers played the Warriors, the two teams also fought fiercely, and the final winner was the Warriors, who won 109-105, although they only won by 4 points, but this is also what many people did not expect, the Warriors also went down, the same as the Hawks, but the difference is that they defeated the Clippers as sixth in the West.
In the last group of matchups in the West, the Rockets beat the Trail Blazers, and they were also defeated by the Trail Blazers.
The game was played in a tight manner, and it was not decided until the last minute.
With 25 seconds left in the game, the Rockets led 120-119, but with 17 seconds left in the game, Damion Lillard drew a foul on Chandler Parsons, walked to the free throw line, and made both free throws to take the lead, 121-120.
Then, James Harden hit a three-pointer and the clock was fixed at 12 seconds.
The Rockets could only foul, sent Joel Freeland to the free throw line, and hit one of two free throws, 122-120, and then, it was the Rockets' final moment.
It was still James Harden who held the ball, he broke through in one step, made a two-point shot, and hit the iron with a bang.
Lore Failure!
As a result, the Trail Blazers completed a 122-120 victory.
After the first game of the first round of the Eastern and Western Divisions, the media also analyzed the prospects of the playoffs in a decent way.
Judging from the results of the first game, the 76ers and the Heat are worry-free in their promotion, after all, they are all big wins.
The four Western Conference matchups are all very anxious, and it looks like each matchup will have to play more than six games, including the Thunder and Grizzlies matchup.
In the East, the Pacers lost to the Hawks in the first game, but the media believes that the Pacers have a chance to break through from the first round of the East with a six-game victory over the Hawks; The matchup between the Bulls and the Raptors is the most unpredictable, it seems that the first game against the Raptors is very easy to win, but the Bulls' counterattack at the end of the quarter is also not blocked by the Raptors, so media reporters predict that the Bulls and the Raptors will play about five games to determine the final winner.
On April 23, 2014, the second game between the 76ers and Bobcats continued at Wachovia Arena.
Before the start of this game, the league officially announced that Michael Carter Williams became the best rookie in the regular season this season, so the pre-game Wachovia Arena became McCarvey's home stadium, and everyone was cheering for McCarvey, and in this crazy cheer, McCarvey received the best rookie trophy from Adam Shaw.
In the regular season this season, McCarvey averaged 15.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.9 steals per game, ranking first in the rookie in scoring, assists and steals, and also in the top three in rebounds.
In addition to McCarvey, those who are eligible to compete for the best rookie are Magic's Victor Oladipo and Jazz's Trey Burke, Victor Oladipo averaged 13.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game in the regular season, and the data was far behind McCarvey, and the team's record was far inferior, and it was impossible to compete with McCarvey.
This is especially true of Treyback, who averaged 12.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game in the regular season this season, and also trailed McCarvey across the board.
Overall, the quality of the rookies in 2013 was not high, except for McCarvey under the leadership of Anxi, who had a little star image, none of the other players performed well.
Before the start of the game, McCarvey received the trophy for the best rookie, and the protagonist of this game seems to have become McCarvey, and the pre-game footage has been giving McCarvey close-ups, but in the last game, McCarvey's performance was not too good, and while being completely blown up by Kemba Walker, his personal performance was also very poor.
The 76ers hope McCarvey can get back to his regular-season form with the Rookie of the Year trophy, and McCarvey thinks so.
Therefore, as soon as the game came up, McCarvey showed his strong fighting spirit, and in the face of Kemba Walker's strong attack, he went straight up, and the defense was extremely tough for the first time.
However, the tough result was that McCarvey was fouled by Kemba Walker.
Of course, even so, Anxi still applauded McCarvey, which is like a defense! It's about being tough, tough enough to make your opponent afraid!
Kemba Walker stepped to the free-throw line and hit both free throws, and the Bobcats opened the scoring game.
However, the 76ers' side soon returned to color, Anxi broke through with the ball, went straight to the basket, and then resisted Al Jefferson's supplementary defense, wanting to dunk once, but Al Jefferson's defense was also tough, he directly pushed An Xi down from the air, so the referee blew a whistle, and An Xi also made a foul on Al Jefferson.
He also stepped to the free-throw line and hit both free throws.
The opening game was tied 2:2, and then, the Bobcats' offense, Al Jefferson singled inside, turned around and made a jumper, and also returned a ball.
Subsequently, Anxi held the ball in the low post and found a low-post single, and it was McGee who defended Anxi, but Anxi's low-post singles were just to make a look, and the threat was great, forcing Josh McRoberts to move towards Anxi, but at this time, Anxi found an opportunity, a ground-hitting pass, and passed to McCarvey, who was cutting in the air, and McCarvey got the first chance to score in the game!
He rushed inside and flew to the basket!
McCarvey's score immediately sparked a frenzy at the Wachovia Arena, after all, the pre-match award ceremony made McCarvey the absolute protagonist of the game, and McCarvey's every move would cause fans to support from the bottom of their hearts.
The game quickly fell into a stalemate, but in this game, the Bobcats showed a better state, and the 76ers' Anxi and Pau Gasol hit iron one after another, but the Bobcats seized the opportunity continuously.
The game played for more than three minutes, and the score came to 10:6, and the Bobcats led by 4 points.
The 76ers' offense, Anxi held the ball, and in the fourth minute of the first quarter, Anxi's scoring data was still only 2 points from free throws, during which he shot once, but did not score, and the two chances passed to his teammates, Pau Gasol and McCarvey also failed to hit.
Seeing that the score was gradually falling behind, Anxi decided to come by himself.
In the first ball, Anxi beckoned Omir Asik's blocking, and after the outside single block, Anxi was bold, and directly moved sideways and shot three-pointers.
With a loud "three" from the DJ on the scene, the Wachovia Arena resounded with a wave of cheers.
The Bobcats attacked, and Kemba Walker wanted to return a three-pointer from the outside, but in this game McCarvey's defense was much better than the previous game, at least his concentration improved a lot, and the ball directly found the opportunity and interfered.
Pau Gasol got the rebound, the 76ers didn't play a fast break, they could only enter the positional battle, and it was McCarvey who held the ball, and he controlled the rhythm of the 76ers.
McCarvey looked for an opportunity on the outside for a while, broke through to attract the defense, and then distributed the ball to Anxi.
As soon as Anxi got the ball, the Bobcat had a somewhat chaotic defense, and it was even more stretched, and in the face of Anxi's strong burst, they could only forcibly separate two people to attack Anxi, wanting to control Anxi in the first time, and then reorganize the defense.
But Anxi didn't stick to the ball at all, and when Gerrard Henderson and McGee pounced on him, Anxi split the ball.
Basketball gave Jack Crowder in the bottom corner, an undefended opportunity, Jack Crowder seized this opportunity, smacked, and hit a three-pointer accurately.
At 12:10, the 76ers overtook the score and hit two three-pointers in a row, and the atmosphere in the Wajovia Arena was completely high.
A brief cheer was followed by a deafening chorus of fans shouting: "Defense! ”
In the midst of this shout in unison, the Bobcats played more tenaciously than the previous goal, Kemba Walker burst into points, and McKiji beat Anxi, who had been out of position, and hit the basket to win, 12 draws!
The 76ers served in the backcourt, and the Bobcats quickly retreated.
McCarvey held the ball on the outside, Anxi pulled space without the ball, and soon, McCarvey gave the ball to Pau Gasol, who was mentioned high.
Gasol faced Josh McRoberts' defense, made a gesture to pass the ball, shook McRoberts, and then took possession of the ball with a big stride and smashed into the box.
The Bobcats were completely unprepared for this, and they originally thought that Gasol had retreated to a high position in order to organize an attack, but Gasol made a false shot and killed the inside......
At this point, the Bobcats' basket was empty, because Al Jefferson was also dragged out by Omir Asik, and Pau Gasol rushed inside, dodged Gerrard Henderson's defense sideways, and made a layup.
At 14:12, the 76ers regained the lead.
Next, Al Jefferson got stuck in the basket, and Kemba Walker passed the ball in, but Al Jefferson's low singles were completely interfered with by Omir Asik, and he didn't score, and the rebound was also taken by Jack Crowder.
Jack Crowder, who won the rebound, immediately passed the ball to An Xi, who rushed to the front court and directly hit a three-point shot.
With a bang, accompanied by the cheers of Vajovia's home court, the 76ers widened the difference!
At 17:12, the boiling Vachovia Arena resounded with cheers, and when the Bobcats got the ball, they began to shout in unison: "Defense! ”
"Kemba Walker pounds the basket! He's got the ball! Give Mikigie, Mikigi's chance is not very good, keep passing, Al Jefferson! He turns and lays! Still not entering! In the CCTV live broadcast room, after Yu Jia's series of explanations, Al Jefferson's layup continued to hit the iron.
But this time, Josh McRoberts rushed out, jumped high, grabbed the rebound in the air, and finally scored 2 points.
17:14, the 76ers' offense, the perfect cooperation of Anxi and Pau Gasol, after the middle block, the hand with the basketball came to Gasol's hands, but Anxi entered the inside line with an empty cut, and then received Pau Gasol's return pass, Anxi received the ball and dunked!
19:14!
In just a few minutes, the 76ers played a wave of 13:4 offensive mini-climax, directly from 4 points behind, to 5 points ahead of the Bobcats!
Steve Clifford was helpless and was forced to call a timeout again.
Steve Clifford's timeouts have always been effective, and this one was no exception, and after the timeout, the Bobcats played a double-screen combination on the outside.
Josh McRoberts' cover allowed Kemba Walker past McCarvey, but Jack Crowder made up for it and seemed to be going to block Kemba Walker's break.
Subsequently, Gerard Henderson made a cover on the spot, blocked Jack Crowder, and Al Jefferson on the inside, after constantly covering, finally created an easy scoring opportunity for Kemba Walker.
Then, Anxi passed the ball to Pau Gasol, who hit the iron from mid-range, and the rebound was won by Josh McRoberts.
The Bobcats played another multi-screen combination, but this time it was Al Jefferson who went down after the pick-and-roll.
After two goals in a row, the difference was reduced to one point.
It seems that the bobcat is quite tenacious, constantly falling behind, and can keep chasing back.
And after being beaten twice by the Bobcats in a row, An Xi couldn't help it, held the ball in person, and rushed to the front court, without waiting for the players on both sides to settle down, and directly scored a three-point shot.
In the midst of everyone's astonished eyes, there was a bang! Three points and more!
After this three-point shot, Anxi's score in the first quarter has come to 13 points, and his three-point shot quickly helped the 76ers stabilize their position. So far in the first quarter, Anxi has already scored 3 three-point shots alone, and each three-point is a three-point shot against the defense, and it seems that Anxi's hand is very hot.
At 22:18, the 76ers led by four points.
Next, the 76ers seemed to have opened a three-point account, and not only Anxi, but even McCarvey also made a three-point shot.
At the end of the first quarter, he continued to hit two three-pointers in a row, and at the end of the first quarter, the 76ers led the Bobcats by 8 points at 28-20.
Anxi scored 13 points in the first quarter, plus 3 assists, the 76ers were on fire, McCarvey also scored 7 points, the second highest score on the 76ers' side, and in the entire first quarter, the 76ers actually hit 6 three-pointers, and a small three-point rain fell.
In the second quarter of the game, the two teams went to the bench, but the 76ers' bench lineup actually continued the three-point firepower of the main lineup, hitting three points in the opening game, and then scoring through fast breaks, and played a wave of 8:4 in the opening game, expanding the difference to double digits.
The Bobcats immediately replaced the main force, and after Kemba Walker played, he actually led the team back to a wave of 8:0, although the Bobcats' substitute center Spleen Smebiombo did not attack, but when he was there, the 76ers' offense was really a little difficult to play, so as to give the Bobcats a wave of opportunities, allowing them to directly narrow the difference to 4 points.
Brett Brown soon began to prepare for the substitution, and he called Anxi.
Anxi got up from the bench and walked to the technical table, waiting for the Bobcats to finish this wave of attacks and be about to play.
Anxi's last attack before the game, the Bobcats continued to seize the opportunity, Kemba Walker burst into the interior line, and hit the mid-range jumper again!
So, when Anxi played, the 76ers' lead was only 2 points, and during this time, the Bobcats directly played a wave of 10:0, which seemed to have a strong momentum.
Reggie Miller, the commentator of Turner Sports in this game, couldn't help but sigh: "The Bobcats played too tenaciously, chasing back after falling behind, chasing back after falling behind, although this game has only played for a quarter and a half, but this kind of plot has been repeated many times." ”
After the Bobcats finished this wave of offense, Anxi played, but because it was not a chance to die, the 76ers also called a long timeout to interrupt the momentum of the Bobcats by the way.
After the timeout, the 76ers' offense, the lineup on the court is point guard Shaun Livingston, scoring guard James Anderson, Anxi plays the third position, the fourth position is Francesco Garcia, and the center is Cole Aldridge, which is a small lineup.
In the first ball, Anxi controlled the ball to the top of the arc, and at the same time was replaced with Anxi McKigie, who was replaced on the court, Anxi had already made three three-pointers in this game, and McKiji didn't dare to let Anxi have an easy chance to shoot from the outside.
Anxi gestured to the inside, and Cole Aldridge pulled it out directly.
McGee also noticed this, and in order to prevent Anxi from forming a small and big offensive, he started to move early, trying to avoid Cole Aldridge's cover.
But Anxi suddenly took advantage of this opportunity to retreat to the left, directly distanced himself from McGee, and then threw the basketball in his hand under McKegie's frightened gaze. (To be continued.) )
