Chapter 35: The Hot Pot Feast in Section 1

The first ball of the opening game hit the iron, An Xi didn't pay much attention to it, and he began to control the ball at the top of the arc. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the second ball of the opening game, Anxi began to dribble under his crotch on the outside, and then, a sudden change of direction in a crotch dribble directly passed Jimmy Butler.

Jimmy Butler's defense was very good, but in the face of Anxi's rapid change of direction, he was still a step slower and couldn't react, so he could only watch Anxi go straight to the inside.

The inside line of the Bulls, Joaquin Noah and Tajibson teamed up to form a blockade gate on the inside line, Anxi rushed over, Joaquin Noah did not leave his position, but Tajibson on the other side rushed over with a long arm.

At this time, Anxi's best option is to pass the ball to Roni Turyav.

But Anxi didn't choose to pass, on the one hand, he didn't know much about Ronnie Turiaf, he didn't know whether Turiaf's current mid-distance position on the bottom line was within his range, on the other hand, it was naturally Anxi's fighting spirit that he had held back for six games.

In the face of Tajibson's defense, Anxi not only did not stop, but accelerated one step and rushed straight to Tajibson.

Tajibson soon found out that Anxi was looking for a foul!

In the game where Anxi was banned, that is, the game of the Oracle incident, Anxi once showed his ability to make fouls, so many defensive players also understood that the real Anxi is not only the trick of backing on the offensive end.

Tajibson guessed Anxi's intentions, but Anxi rushed too fast, and he didn't have time to dodge, so he could only go up hard.

An Xi put on a dunk pose, and at this moment he was like a bow and arrow full of strings, and at the moment when Tajibson rushed over to make up for the defense, An Xi ejected.

Then, the two met in the air, and in the face of Anxi's unstoppable momentum, Tajibson had no choice but to pull Anxi in the air, and the referee's whistle sounded afterwards.

An Xi lost her balance, but the ball was still in her hand.

At this point, he reached out his other hand and grabbed Tajibson, maintaining a brief balance of his own, and then shook his hand and threw the basketball out.

In the next second, Anxi and Tajibson flew out of the baseline together, but the basketball smashed the rebound and wiped the board and bounced into the basket!

Tajibson lay on the floor in a daze, he never thought that he pulled Anxi, making Anxi lose his center of gravity, and Anxi's subsequent throwback actually scored a goal.

The scene erupted in thunderous applause, and Anxi's ball was very beautiful, and it became a 2+1.

Subsequently, he stood on the free throw line, hit a free throw, 3:2, and in the first game of his comeback, Anxi scored 3 points first.

Immediately after, the Bulls' offense.

Due to the improvement of Jimmy Butler and the return of Derrick Rose, the Bulls' offense has improved to a certain extent this season, but Tom Thibodu is still a coach who is not good at building offense, and the Bulls' offense is still relying on the singles of stars a lot of the time.

This goal, after the Bulls blocked and dismantled from the outside, Anxi switched to the front of Derrick Rose, who broke through.

Derrick Rose broke through, Anxi made up for it in front of him, facing Anxi, Derrick Rose chose to force a layup, at this moment, he seemed fearless, but the next moment, Anxi stretched out his long arm and covered Derrick Rose's layup just right.

The dropped basketball was picked up by Jimmy Butler on the other side, and in the face of McCarvey's defense, Jimmy Butler also rushed inside, a dry pull-up jumper, did not score, but caused McCarvey's beater to foul.

Jimmy Butler then walked to the free throw line and began to take free throws.

"Anxi's defense is still so good, he didn't neglect the defense because of his excellent offensive end. The game's commentator, bald Jeff Van Gundy, commented on Anxi's defense, but then, he changed his tune. "But it's the opposite of the 76ers' McCarvey, his defense was a big problem in his rookie season, this season is his second season, his defense is still so bad, the Bulls' opening two points, both from McCarvey opened the situation. ā€

After criticizing McCarvey's defense, Jeff Van Gundy continued: "If I were talking about Samsinki, I would trade McCarvey, a real championship team, there is still a lot to defend, especially the point guard, which is an increasingly critical position. ā€

As he spoke, Jimmy Butler walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws to put the score in the lead.

At this time, the ball returned to the hands of the 76ers, and Anxi once again controlled the ball, he glanced at the Bulls' interior, and then saw Tajibson, who had just been fouled.

The Bulls' starting interior line and the substitute interior line are very different, the starting interior line focuses on defense, while the substitute interior line focuses on offense, this game Anxi must be grasped on the offensive end, so he glanced at Tajibson, who had already been fouled once, and an idea came into his mind.

He decided to continue to attack the interior and try to send Tajibson off the court early by making fouls.

So, Anxi rushed into the inside line from the right side with the ball, this time, Jimmy Butler's defense kept up, and Anxi, who rushed into the inside, was entangled by Jimmy Butler, he could only make a back-to-back movement, and then he was ready to turn around and rush into the penalty area.

But at this time, Jack Crowder appeared at the right time, he cut diagonally into the box from the other side, and it was an opportunity!

An Xi didn't just care about his own offense, venting himself, and when his teammates ran a great opportunity, he didn't let his teammates run empty.

Anxi's pass was almost amazing, and when Jack Crowder ran to the outside of the penalty area, Anxi used a ground-hitting pass to bypass Tajibson's defense, and the basketball appeared in Jack Crowder's hands.

Tajibson hurriedly turned around to defend Jack Crowder, but at this time, he had already committed a foul, and in the face of Jack Crowder's impact on the basket, Tajibson did not dare to reach out, and after pretending to interfere for a while, he could only watch Jack Crowder complete a layup.

At 5:4, the 76ers led by one point.

But soon, the Bulls' offense, Derrick Rose broke through and found an opportunity, and Tajibson, who also assisted inside, dunked and scored two points, 6:5.

The Bulls' offense was simple but effective, and they took advantage of McCarvey's holes on the defensive end to score in a row.

So far in this Christmas battle, the scores of the two teams are still anxious, and many people have begun to cheer for this big battle.

In the other four Christmas battles that started at the same time, the game between the Knicks and the Nets was simply a rookie pecking at each other, all kinds of mistakes, the Clippers have bloodied the Lakers, and the Spurs against the Heat, it is a boring half-court offensive and defensive drill, and the other Cavaliers vs. Warriors, the game has just started for 3 minutes, the Warriors scored four three-pointers in a row, and the opening game played a wave of 12:2 for the Cavaliers, and the game entered the rhythm of the Warriors from the beginning.

Such a game with no suspense is obviously not interesting to watch.

On the side of the 76ers and the Bulls, the opening was full of suspense, no one expected that Anxi would come back in the first game, and the Bulls were so tenacious, Anxi scored a goal, and they immediately returned a goal.

On the court, the 76ers attacked, and Anxi took the ball in a high position.

After a familiar three-threat stance, Jimmy Butler involuntarily took a step back, ready to defend Anxi's breakaway.

But this retreat directly gave Anxi a chance.

An Xi directly retreated from outside the three-point line, directly held the ball with both hands and pulled up, a dry pull outside the three-point line, and shot like this.

Jimmy Butler's defense made a mistake and the basketball swept across the arena and hit the basket with precision.

Bang, the ball goes in!

Tom Thiberdu roared from the sidelines: "Jimmy, hold on to him, don't give him space!"

Jimmy Butler was also very helpless, this ball was indeed his mistake, when defending this ball, he didn't think too much, but when he saw Anxi put on a three-threat posture, plus the first two goals were breakthroughs, he took a step back as a matter of course, and as a result, he directly gave Anxi a chance to step back and pull out a jumper.

But sometimes, such mistakes can be fatal, especially since Tom Thibodo is a coach who pays great attention to defense, and Jimmy Butler must have to bear his wrath for such mistakes.

At 8:6, the 76ers took a two-point lead.

The Bulls' offense, Jimmy Butler held the ball and wanted to return Anxi's ball, he ran to the high post to get the ball and faced Anxi's defense.

He had his back to Anxi and singled in the middle, but soon, he felt the pressure that Anxi gave him, Anxi's defense was excellent, and a scorer like Jimmy Butler, who had just evolved and averaged 20+ per game, was only a half-tone attacker in front of Anxi's defense.

Jimmy Butler doesn't have many offensive means, only one mid-range shot is top-notch, three-point instability, and average ball handling, so Anxi is easy to defend.

With this ball, Jimmy Butler hit a turn and slipped to break through the bottom line, but the moment he turned around, Anxi followed and retreated, blocking the inevitable path for Butler to slip into the inside.

At this time, Jimmy Butler was already very close to the basket, and he didn't care about An Xi in front of him, he jumped up and raised his hand to dunk.

An Xi naturally wouldn't allow others to dunk on top of his head, he also jumped up at the same time, gave a big hat sturdy, and flew the basketball out like a volleyball.

The basketball was quickly picked up by McCarvey, and Anxi also landed quickly, withdrawing from the inside, accelerating to the frontcourt, a fast offensive opportunity!

Anxi rushed quickly, he quickly overtook and rushed to the front of the Bulls and the inside, and only Derrick Rose and Mike Dunleavy were left in front of Anxi.

Anxi asked for a basketball from McCarvey, and when he rushed to the front court outside the three-point line, Anxi directly changed direction and accelerated, passing Derrick Rose, who wanted to block him, and then, Anxi took a big stride, threw off Rose in one step, and rushed to the unguarded basket.

The inner line was empty, there was no one left, only Anxi remained, so Anxi began his performance.

Holding the ball in one hand, he fought back with his crotch, added a 360-degree turn, turned around and smashed the basketball into the basket!

This goal set off a climax of the fans at the scene, and even the MVP shouted in the stadium.

At 10:6, the score slowly pulled away.

The Bulls' offense, Jimmy Butler still didn't believe in evil and wanted to single Anxi, but he held the ball in the high post for a while, and he really didn't find a chance, Jimmy Butler could only turn around and give Derrick Rose a hand-to-hand cooperation, and then Derrick Rose took the ball and faced Anxi after the change of defense.

In the face of Anxi, Derrick Rose didn't suffer too much, so he chose to break through.

Forced into the inside, Derrick Rose gradually felt the pressure given to him by Anxi, Anxi just opened his arms to block the top of Derrick Rose's head, Derrick Rose couldn't complete the layup, so he forced the layup and ate Anxi's big hat again.

This time, the basketball was not picked up by his teammates, but by Noren Snoll who came from the defense, and the 76ers then counterattacked, but Anxi's pass assist was given to Roni Turiav, and Ronnie Turiav's layup ended in iron.

In the end, Joakim Noah grabbed the rebound, and neither the 76ers nor the Bulls could score, and the ball was back in the hands of the Bulls.

After playing for more than four minutes in the opening game, Anxi has already had three big hats.

But that's not all.

The Bulls are like not believing in evil, and they continue to attack the interior of the 76ers.

Many people are puzzled by this, but An Xi knows very well that the Bulls' strong shooting ability on the outside is weak, and if they want to open the offense at the beginning, they can only attack the inside line constantly.

So, Derrick Rose once again rushed inside against Anxi's defense, but this time, he didn't choose to be strong, but passed the basketball to the other side.

At the same time, Anxi magically made a supplemental defense, he threw away Derrick Rose, directly made up for the other side, and gave another big hat to Tajibson, who was about to dunk, in time.

The Wachovia Arena exploded in an instant!

"Four big hats in a row! The entire forbidden area is about to be ruled by Anxi!"

"Derrick Rose got two big hats, one for Jimmy Butler, and one for Tajibson!

Just when the commentators were discussing Anxi's four hot pots, Anxi bricks on the offensive end assisted Noren Snoll to complete a layup, and the score of the two teams came to 12:6, and the difference was stretched to 6 points.

At this time, many people noticed Anxi's personal data.

8 points, 1 rebound, 2 assists, 4 blocks, all-around stats! At this time, the game has only started for 5 minutes.

Anxi's data often becomes very versatile, but this game is different, his blocks will occasionally be a lot, but like this game, the situation of four big hats in five minutes has never been there, if Anxi's assists and steals can keep up, maybe Anxi can really contribute a super all-round data in this game.

As the game continued, the Bulls gradually switched to the bench in the second half of the first quarter, and several shooters such as Mirotic came out one after another, and they also found some outside shooting touch, and at the end of the first quarter, the margin was leveled.

The two teams played a 28-28 tie in the first quarter, and Anxi had 14 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 4 blocks in the first quarter, and played an extremely versatile statistic in the first quarter.
