Chapter 182: Fighting with Wounds (Merry Christmas!)
(Today is Christmas, I wish you all a Merry Christmas, and thank you for the reward of the students, today's three watches, all kinds of requests!)
"What? I'm hurt?"
"Hey, boy, don't be nervous, it's just a small injury. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
An Xi looked at the messy bearded team doctor and comforted herself, a little speechless.
"No, I'm not nervous, I know it's a minor injury, but I want to know if I can play in the next game......"
"If you insist on fighting, it's fine, it's just a cramp in your back, and you can fight with injuries. ”
An Xi breathed a sigh of relief, he finally made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, and he didn't want to withdraw from the game because of injury.
However, the team doctor glanced at An Xi, who seemed to be relaxed, and asked helplessly, "Are you really ready to fight with injuries?"
An Xi began to tidy up his clothes, and said lightly while tidying up: "No way, the Pacers are not so easy to deal with, I have to play." ”
"But the back spasm is not a major injury, and it is almost recovered after two rests. ”
An Xi still shook his head: "No, if I take two breaks, it will be too late." ”
Indeed, in the face of the Pacers, a strong opponent, if Anxi rests for two games, the total score will definitely become 0:2, don't look at the 76ers winning the Heat, but whether it is bench depth or team strength, once Anxi is missing, the 76ers are even inferior to this year's Lakers.
An Xi rejected the team doctor's suggestion to take a break, and he had to play in the East Finals.
This season, the Pacers are strong, with a high regular season record in the East, and the regular season against the 76ers is also a mutual win/loser, and the game between the two teams has always been very anxious, but the 76ers have a slight advantage.
Of course, this is in the presence of Anxi, the 76ers have a slight advantage, if Anxi is not present, the 76ers will lose miserably.
In the playoffs, the Pacers went quite smoothly, defeating their opponents 4:2 to advance to the next round, compared to the 76ers, they swept 4:0 in the first round, but they were dragged into a tie-break by the Heat in the second round, which was a slight physical disadvantage before the Eastern Conference finals.
And now, Anxi has been upgraded several times, and even the system has been promoted to perfection, which has greatly improved Anxi's strength.
But now for the 76ers, the hidden worry is Anxi's sudden injury, although it is only back cramps, but back cramps are equivalent to back cramps, the pain is still very scary, it will definitely affect the state, and once the two sides are offset, Anxi's strength is similar to the regular season.
Therefore, for the 76ers, the series against the Pacers is still relatively difficult to play, especially in the first two games.
For the next round of the series, Brett Brown has also done a lot of homework, the biggest opponent in the East, the Heat has been killed by the 76ers, and there is only one Pacer left before the Finals, in the face of the temptation of the Finals, the 76ers must be excited, and they are also determined to win, because after winning the series with the Heat, in terms of strength, the 76ers have surpassed the Pacers a little.
But Brett Brown also knew about Anxi's back spasm, and when he heard that Anxi was going to fight with an injury, his first reaction was a little hesitant, but he soon agreed, because the current 76ers are indeed inseparable from Anxi.
As for the Pacers, Brett Brown focused on the defense of Paul George, and the biggest strength of the Pacers now is Paul George, scoring and assisting, but in terms of personal ability, Paul George is still a little behind Bianxi.
However, the advantage of the Pacers over the 76ers is that in addition to Paul George, the Pacers have many first-class scoring strengths, such as David West on the inside, and Lance Stephenson, who broke out this season.
Roy Hibbert was also selected as an All-Star this season, but Roy Hibbert is just a product of this era of weak centers, and Roy Hibbert can abuse a dish in the face of a team with a poor interior line, such as against the Heat in the first two seasons.
But against the 76ers, a team with Asik and Pau Gasol on the inside, Roy Hibbert is not so strong.
Therefore, the most important thing for the 76ers to pay attention to is Paul George, for Paul George, Brett Brown was originally going to let Anxi go to the opposite defense, but considering Anxi's injury, he made a change and let Jack Crowder defend Paul George, and the injured Anxi only needs to focus on the offensive end.
As for the tactical play, it's even simpler.
With David West and Roy Hibbert on the interior and Luis Scola on the bench, it's obviously impossible for the Pacers to play fast and break quickly, and Frank Vogel's team has always been a traditional positional offensive and defensive team, with a more defensive style of play.
So against the Pacers, the 76ers just need to be themselves.
On May 20, 2014, the 76ers rushed to Indianapolis after only two days of rest after finishing the Eastern Conference semifinals and began the journey of the Eastern Conference finals.
This time, they are away and then home, and without home advantage, the pressure is still slightly higher.
The Conseco Arena is also the league's famous devil's home stadium, the energy scheme arena (Jazz) in the west, and the Conseco Arena in the east, the crazy nature of the Indianase people has given the Conseco Arena more madness.
Of course, Auburn Hills Palace used to be able to compete with Conseco, but with the decline of the Pistons in the past two years, as well as the recession and bankruptcy of Detroit's economy, Auburn Hills Palace's basketball popularity is not as hot as before.
At the Conseco Arena, when the first game of the Eastern Conference finals was about to begin, Anxi's ears were filled with boos and invective from crazy Pacers fans.
Before the start of the game, Anxi's injury also received attention, his back spasms were slightly better after the ice, but once he used a big move, he would still feel obvious pain, but Anxi insisted on fighting with the injury, and the team couldn't do anything.
Brett Brown could only tell An Xi more: "An, we don't need you to do too much in this game, just do your offense well, trust your teammates." ”
Regarding what Brett Brown said, Anxi naturally understood that before the start of this game, Anxi was ready to shoot only for the whole game, after all, the breakthrough is a big move, and there will definitely be confrontation when breaking into the inside, so it is even more of a big move.
He's playing with an injury now, not because it gets worse after two games.
"Ann, are you ready, this is a duel between me and you......" The game was about to start, and the starters of the two teams walked to the center of the field, and Paul George pointed to Anxi and said.
An Xi smiled: "Of course, let the horse come over!"
The game started when the two sides exchanged harsh words......
The starters on the 76ers' side have returned to the same, point guard McCarvey, scoring guard Anxi, small forward Jack Crowder, power forward Pau Gasol and center Omir Asik, as long as it is not a fast break, Omir Asik's protection of the basket is still very important.
The Pacers lined up point guard George Hill, shooting guard Lance Stephenson, small forward Paul George, power forward David West, and center Roy Hibbert.
In fact, looking at the starters of the two teams, the difference in strength between the two sides is not large, and the main gap should be presented here between Anxi and Paul George.
At the start of the game, Roy Hibbert won the jump ball and the Pacers attacked first.
George Hill carries the ball to the front court and beckons Paul George out of the corner.
By the time Paul George got around the top of the arc through David West's screen, George Hill made a ground-and-ball pass to the basketball.
In the face of Jack Crowder's defense, Paul George's first shot was very simple, and after signaling David West to make another block for himself, he rushed into the three-point line and made a pull-up jump shot.
That's what Paul George does best, jumping from inside the three-point line and then the basketball hollows into the net.
Paul George opened the scoring and the Conceco Arena erupted in cheers and cheers, and from the very beginning of the game, the crazed Indianas turned the Conceco Arena into a devil's home.
Immediately afterwards, the 76ers' offense, McCarvey advanced to the front court with the ball, Anxi ambushed to the bottom corner, and the defender of Anxi was Paul George.
The Pacers still attach great importance to Anxi, and the fact that Anxi fought with injuries has not been announced, and the Pacers still think that the current Anxi is Anxi who scored 45 points in the Eastern Conference semifinals and scored four doubles, so it is needless to say that the degree of attention is naturally needless to say.
On the first shot of the 76ers' opening, Anxi circled from the inside, and through the cover of Pau Gasol, he rushed to the outside of the three-point line to catch the ball and shoot.
Anxi's back ached when he jumped up from the floor, but he held back the pain and threw the basketball.
Paul George's defense was excellent, and when Anxi shot, he had already caught up and interfered with Anxi's goal.
The pain was mixed with interference, and with a bang, Anxi's first shot at the beginning ended in iron.
An Xi frowned, it seemed that the situation was not as smooth as he imagined, and the back spasms still had a big impact on him...... (To be continued.) )
