Chapter 175: Into the Array
"Ann, the best team has been announced, and your name is in the first team. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
During the break after training, Brett Brown walked into the locker room and gave Anxi good news, but looking at Brett Brown's appearance, he didn't seem to be so happy.
"Really?First lineup?" But Anxi was in a good mood now, he asked in surprise, and then turned on his mobile phone.
I flipped through the phone, and I did find it.
The league today announced the All-NBA selections.
The All-NBA First Team includes point guard Chris Paul, shooting guard Anxi, forward Kevin Durant, forward LeBron James, and center Joakim Noah.
There are no surprises in the selection of the first team from the No. 1 to the No. 4 position, the biggest surprise is Joakim Noah, this season has become the most successful season of Noah's career, averaging 12.6 points, 11.3 points, 5.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game, and has already won a DPOY (Best Defensive Player) trophy, as well as the best defensive team for a while.
Now he is beating Dwight Howard and becoming the center of the All-Star team.
If you look at the honors selected by the best team, the first center this season should be Joaquin Noah, and the first quarterback should be Anxi.
The combination of the Rockets' first quarterback and first center, which was wildly boasted by the media before the season, has become unworthy of its name by the end of the season.
The All-NBA Second Team, point guard Stephen Curry, shooting guard James Harden, forward Blake Griffin, forward Kevin Love, and center Dwight Howard, preseason first quarterback and first center, appeared on the second team.
All-round Third Team, guard Tony Parker, guard Damion Lillard, small forward Paul George, power forward LaMarcus Aldridge and center Al Jefferson.
An Xi roughly skimmed it, smiled, and then prepared to tweet and celebrate.
When he opened the Twitter client, a large number of messages popped up.
An Xi was stunned for a moment, then didn't care, and sent a tweet to himself first.
"Congratulations on being selected for the best team in the first team, and you will win by stealing seven!"
Then An Xi slowly opened the big string of news.
Most of the news is scolding Anxi, losing two games in a row, the pressure of the 76ers in public opinion is very high, and a large number of fans involved in gambling in North America have lost a fortune, so they spread their grievances on Anxi, and they came to Anxi's Twitter one by one to scold them.
An Xi swept away all these swearful news, but he soon saw a somewhat sassy tweet.
It was Floyd Mayweather who posted the tweet, and Anxi only paid attention to this tweet when he saw the conspicuous Mayweather profile picture.
"The Heat will win the seventh, the 76ers are no longer good, I want to make a lot of money! Thank you to the 76ers! Thank you Anxi! It is your weakness that gives me the opportunity to make a lot of money! Thank you, thank you, thank you very much!"
A taunting tweet with a large number of Etanxi's followers below.
Seeing this tweet and the following thread, An Xi sneered.
Clicking on Floyd Mayweather's Twitter homepage, An Xi found that the American boxing champion had posted another tweet and posted his bet again.
"On May 16th, the sixth game is over, and the bet is 5 million dollars again! Miami is already sure to win, and the money is for nothing!"
The following post pointed out: "It's already $30 million, if the Heat wins, Floyd Mayweather will make a profit of about $20 million, and he will make a lot of money!"
Seeing this, Anxi sneered again, in the next battle, he will let Floyd Mayweather lose all his money!
……
On May 17, the day before the Heat and 76ers tie-breaker, the second round of the playoffs in the East and West was basically over.
In the West, the Spurs easily defeated the Trail Blazers 4-1 to advance to the Western Conference Finals, and after a tough win in the first round, the defending champions finally began to show their strength, and the Spurs were also the first team in the East and West to advance to the division finals.
The Thunder, on the other hand, won two games in a row in the first four scorching situations, defeated the Clippers 4-2, and once again shattered Chris Paul's dream of a Western Conference showdown.
In this way, after the Thunder experienced last year's injury nightmare, they returned to the Western Conference finals again this season, and the process may be difficult, but the Thunder's second junior plus Reggie Jackson, the strength of the Thunder this season should not be underestimated.
The Western showdown against the defending champion Spurs without Anxi, and it is still unknown who will win and who will lose in the series.
In the East, the Pacers also won two games in a row after a 2-2 draw in the first four games, and finally defeated the Raptors 4-2 and entered the Eastern Conference Finals first.
After making the first cut, Paul George was also asked about his opponent in the next round.
"Who will advance between the Heat and the 76ers? I think it's the 76ers, I believe in Anxi, he will lead the 76ers to beat the Heat and advance to the next round, which is also my agreement with him, we hope to meet in the East finals, and then have a showdown. ”
But Paul George's answer was questioned.
Sports Illustrated reporter Lee Jenkins wrote in his column: "Paul George thinks the 76ers will win the tiebreaker, maybe he was too busy with the Pacers and Raptors to follow the Heat and 76ers game, and if he did, he wouldn't have said that." ”
ESPN reporter Henry Abbott even mocked Paul George directly on Twitter: "Paul George actually thinks that the 76ers can win the tiebreaker, maybe he is picking an opponent, he thinks that if the 76ers advance, the Pacers have any hope of winning the series." ”
Even Zach Lowe, another ESPN who is known for his objectivity, also said in his column: "Judging from the state of the Heat after changing formations, the probability of the Heat winning the tiebreaker is as high as 80%, Paul George may just wishful thinking hope to be able to play with Anxi in the middle of the Eastern Conference finals, but the fact is that the Heat, who have won two games in a row, are stronger than the 76ers in terms of strength, state, and mentality." ”
Before the game began, the entire North American community was unanimous in the belief that the Heat would beat the 76ers to advance to the Eastern Conference finals.
Even experts or fans who are a little more objective and cautious have given probabilities, believing that the lowest probability of the Heat winning is as high as 75%.
This is true not only in North America, but also in the Celestial Empire.
The majority of fans in Anxi in China account for the majority, but there are also a lot of fans of the Heat, after all, the number of wins has increased dramatically in the past two years, and the obvious team that can win the Heat Big Three has naturally gained a large number of fans.
When the 76ers led the Heat 3-1, the Heat's winning game was shrunk in the corner.
But when the Heat won two games in a row, the winning fans rushed out in a honeycomb.
A series of posts on the Tiger Pounce forum, with roughly the same title, such as:
"The Heat have won two games in a row, what do you say about the situation in the 76ers and the Heat series now?"
Under the post of this title, there is a group of Heat winners shouting that the Heat will win, quoting scriptures, and quoting the remarks of American experts, in short, the Heat won the battle for seven.
There is also a headline: "Will the Heat have a chance to beat the Spurs and win the championship after the change?"
Looking at this title, the goal is already aiming for the Finals, and the 76ers and even the Pacers in the next round are no longer in sight.
There's also a headline that even elevates the Heat to all-time heights: "Are the fast-breaking Heat already a team in history?"
The specific content in the post is: "The Heat of the fast break beat the 76ers in the fifth game, and the offense and defense are a bit invincible, it is said that this style of play is the style of play recommended by Pat Riley, so the question is, can LeBron James be equal to the Magic Johnson during the showtime period, is Wade James Worthy, can Chris Bosh replace Abdul-Jabbar?
As a result, in this post, not only the 76ers, but also the Spurs and Thunder in the West were completely ignored......
The day before the Game 7 began, the Heat arrived in Philadelphia.
The warm-up for the tiebreaker has officially begun, with major media and TV stations in North America and even around the world arriving in Philadelphia one after another, and hotels around the Wachovia Arena are filled with reporters from all over the world.
As the last game of the second round of the playoffs in the East and West, and because of the excitement and twists and turns of the first six games between the Heat and the 76ers, this tie-break battle has become the first game in the NBA this season to attract global attention.
