In December, the 76ers, who were in hot form, continued to win, Anxi's quasi-lore defeated the Bobcats, and the winning streak came to 4 games, and the winning streak in December alone also came to 3 games, and the 76ers who won in a row also began to surpass the opponents in front of them, and they surpassed the Bulls in the first place. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After four straight wins, the 76ers' record became 12-8, and a 12-8 record helped them overtake the 11-9 Bulls by one win to become fourth in the East.

After becoming the fourth in the East, the 76ers' ranking has once again gone up a ladder, in the ranks of the NBA playoffs, the top four and the bottom four are obviously very different, the top four in the first round of the playoffs are the home court advantage, and the home court advantage in the playoffs is so big, there is no need to say more, so after the top four, the 76ers shouted the slogan, they have to do their best to keep the top four.

On December 7, the 76ers returned to their home court to face the incoming Nuggets.

Although the Nuggets sent Andre Iguodala away this season and changed the head coach, they still played well in the 20 games at the beginning of the season, with 11 wins and 9 losses in 20 games, ranking seventh in the West, and it seems that former Lakers assistant coach Brian Shaw is doing a good job with the Nuggets.

However, the Nuggets were defeated by the 76ers in this game.

In the game against the Nuggets at home, McCarvey did not play due to injury, so Tony Roten started in place of him, and as a result, in the first quarter, with Anxi having all the ball, the 76ers directly played a wave of 42:19, leading the Nuggets by 23 points in the first quarter!

Anxi scored 13 points, 5 assists and 4 steals in an explosive single quarter, and the Nuggets were directly beaten.

And the starting Tony Rotten also showed extremely good form, scoring 11 points in a single quarter, plus Jack Crowder's three three-pointers, and the new starting outside trio scored 33 points, directly tearing the Nuggets.

Then, in the second quarter, Evan Turner played a tie with the Nuggets with the bench, and then Anxi led the team to break out again in the second half.

The lead was extended again in the third quarter, 33:22, and the lead was extended by 11 points again in the third quarter, plus 23 points in the first quarter, and after three quarters, the 76ers led the Nuggets by 34 points.

As a result, the game entered garbage time early, and Anxi scored 22 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 6 steals and 2 blocks in the third quarter......

In this way, the 76ers won 5 consecutive wins on their home court, and the team's record became 13-8, this time once again completing the overtaking of the top four teams, and the Hawks, who are third in the East, have a record of 13-9 after December 7, a half-game gap, so that the Hawks have to give up the third place in the East.

In this way, the 76ers have become the top three teams in the East, the first is still the Indiana Pacers, who have been in great form this season, and so far, under the leadership of Frank Vogel, they have an 18-2 record, and have only lost two games so far this season. And the Heat, who are second in the East, also played 20 games, with 15 wins and 5 losses in 20 games, and can only be in second place.

After getting the third place in the East, the 76ers once again shouted the slogan of keeping the top three in the East, but unfortunately, they only sat in this position for 2 days, on December 9, still in Philadelphia, the Los Angeles Clippers came from afar to challenge the 76ers away.

The Clippers should be the strongest opponent encountered by the 76ers during this time, the new coach Doug Rivers in exchange for draft picks took office, plus the introduction of JJ Redick and Darren Collisson, the Clippers are in hot form in the new season, with 16 wins in the first 21 games, only losing 5 of them, and currently ranking third in the West, behind the Spurs and Thunder.

As a strong team in the West and a strong contender for the championship, although the Clippers are playing on the road, their goal is to completely aim for victory.

And from the beginning of the game, the Clippers used their offensive attack to break down the 76ers' defense, JJ Redick hit 3 points in a row, Chris Paul played Tony Roten in a row, fortunately, the 76ers' offense was not bad, the first quarter ended, the two teams played a 36:32, and the Clippers led by 4 points.

Then, in the second quarter, Blake Griffin on the inside also began to exert his power, and the empty city continued to stage violent dunks at the Wachovia Arena, and in the second quarter, the Clippers played the 76ers again 27:25, and after halftime, the 76ers trailed by 6 points.

In the second half, the Clippers continued to exert their power, extending their lead by 2 points in two consecutive quarters, and in the end, the score was 122:112, and the Clippers won the 76ers by 10 points on the road, while ending the 76ers' five-game winning streak.

The 76ers who lost were in a bad mood, because in addition to losing, the Hawks behind them also caught up, the 76ers lost, the Hawks won, so the Hawks relied on this victory to regain the 76ers and become third in the East.

The 76ers, who were depressed about losing, soon went on an away trip, their first opponent was the Minnesota Timberwolves in the West, the Timberwolves who have been lottery for many years, the Timberwolves have finally improved this season, the 10-11 Timberwolves are currently ranked ninth in the West, and still retain the hope of making the playoffs, and this game against the 76ers is regarded as a must-win game, because they need to use this victory to increase the winning rate to 50%.

However, it backfired, the 76ers, who had just lost a game, were still depressed, and they came to Minnesota, but they unceremoniously vented this depression on the Timberwolves.

Under the resentful gaze of the Timberwolves, the 76ers continued to play small highs and tides, and offensive waves such as 10:2, 7:0, and 6:0 were not uncommon.

By the end of the third quarter, the 76ers, who did not give face at all, directly turned the score into 88:56, leading by 32 points in the third quarter.

The super score difference of 32 points in the third quarter of the game made the Timberwolves completely lose the idea of chasing points, and they replaced all the main forces and gave up the game directly.

The 76ers finally vented their frustration at the loss of the last game, and several main players talked and laughed on the bench in the fourth quarter, and the Timberwolves fans on the sidelines who watched were depressed for a while, and soon sent a burst of boos.

In this way, after the full game, the 76ers won again, and the 76ers, who were 14-9, tied the Hawks in terms of record......

After playing the Timberwolves, the 76ers rushed to Toronto, the last time the two teams met, the 76ers were at a low point, so they lost the game, this time the two teams met, the 76ers were not relentless at all, and took the lead from the beginning of the game, and the lead was maintained until the end of the game, and finally, the away 108-100 small victory over the Raptors, another two-game winning streak appeared.

And the 15-9 76ers also surpassed the Hawks again because of one more game and enjoyed the third place in the East.

This time, though, the 76ers' winning streak didn't last long, and when they returned to their home game, they were defeated by the Trail Blazers, and the two-game winning streak came to an end.

Fortunately, the Hawks also lost, and the records of both teams remained the same, both at 16-10.

Then, on December 16, the 76ers continued to play at home, and their opponent in this game happened to be the Hawks.

……

The Hawks arrived a day early, and Mike Budenholzer appeared directly in the 76ers' training hall, but fortunately, the 76ers' training was over at this time, otherwise Brett Brown would have reprimanded him for a charge of spying on military intelligence.

Anxi also stayed in Brett Brown's office after finishing training, and then watched as Mike Budenholzer and Brett Brown bickered.

The content of the bickering is naturally related to the game, and Mike Budenholzer is ruthless, saying that the Eagles will definitely win at Wajovia Arena, and he will take the Eagles to complete the double kill against the 76ers.

In this way, Brett Brown was not convinced.

"Don't dream, Mike, there's only one winner in the end, and that's the 76ers."

"Come on, tell me your reasons, Brett." Mike Budenholzer waved his hand, as if asking Brett Brown to let him go.

An Xi sat on the side and shook his head and smiled, and the two old guys behaved like two children at the moment, fighting with each other.

Brett Brown knew very well that Mike Budenholzer was teasing him, so he waved his hand directly: "No, Mike, I'm not like you, I'm not a child, I'm not going to argue with you about anything, Ann is here, the reason I won is because we have Ann and you don't." ”

Mike Budenholzer scratched his hair, which was the thing he regretted the most, but now that Brett Brown took it out and said it, Mike Budenholzer was a little annoyed: "What about Ann! Demaret will make Ann completely dumb! ”

An Xi didn't speak, and this time he really couldn't listen to it, because he didn't know who this Demarai was.

"Who is Dermare?" Anxi asked this sentence coldly, Mike Budenholzer choked, he didn't know what to say, Brett Brown let out a loud laugh, and then gave Anxi a thumbs up.

Mike Budenholzer could only reply "viciously": "You know it in the game!" ”

In the evening, the three of them had a meal in a restaurant in downtown Philadelphia, and the three old friends who had not seen each other for a long time had a good get-together, and after dinner, Anxi drove Mike Budenholzer back to the hotel.

On December 16, 2013, the Wachovia Arena was once again brightly lit.

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith appeared on the sidelines, they dressed up and signaled the director to turn on, and the next second, Charles Barkley began the commentary of the game.

"Dear viewers, welcome to the live broadcast of the NBA's 2013-2014 regular season brought to you by Turner Sports, I'm Charles Barkley, and my partner is still Kenny Smith." Charles Barkley said a long opening sentence, and then pointed to Kenny Smith next to him, Kenny Smith nodded towards the camera, and then Barkley continued: "The two teams in this game are the Philadelphia 76ers and the Atlanta Hawks, both teams have the same record, both are third in the East, and the head coach is also an assistant coach of the Spurs, and both play blocking tactics from the Spurs. ”

Charles Barkley turned to look at Kenny Smith, "Kenny, can you find anything else in common?" Charles Barkley looked teasing, he felt that he had said everything he had in common with the 76ers and the Hawks, and he wanted to see how his old partner would deal with his troubles.

Kenny Smith shrugged, "Charles, first I'm going to point out one of your mistakes. ”

"A mistake on my part?" Charles Barkley was stunned for a moment.

Kenny Smith continued: "After the 76ers lost five in a row, they changed their style of play, and now their style of play is more like a pass-and-cut tactic, mainly relying on Anxi's personal ability to open up the situation, and it has nothing to do with blocking and pick-and-roll, so it is not a blocking tactic. ”

Charles Barkley looked embarrassed, and he began to pull away from the topic: "I see, okay, let's take a look at the referee of this game." ”

"The NBA referee committee sent Stephen Javey as the referee of this game, and the two assistant referees are Lauren Holtkamp and John Gerbull, and this game will also be the second time in the career of Lauren Holtkamp, a beautiful referee, who has just signed with the NBA referee committee, has caused heated discussions in North America......"

Kenny Smith looked at Charles Barkley helplessly, I have to say that this flying pig's ability to change the topic is very strong, as the current topic figure in the NBA, Lauren Holtkamp has become the most beautiful referee in the NBA, and as soon as Charles Barkley mentioned this most beautiful referee, people's attention suddenly shifted......

On the court, Anxi was already preparing to play, and Stephen Javi walked to the center of the court with a basketball and signaled the two teams to start.

"The starters of the two teams have not changed, on the 76ers' side, the point guard is McCarvey, who has just returned from injury, the scoring guard Anxi, the small forward Jack Crowder, the big forward Thaddeus Young and the center Cole Aldridge, the Hawks, the point guard Jeff Teague, the scoring guard Kyle Korver, the small forward De Marley Carroll, the big forward Paul Millsap and the center Al Horford."

And it wasn't until before the game started that Anxi didn't know who Demarai Carroll was in Mike Budenholzer's mouth.

Like Jack Crowder, De Marley Carroll was the most recent starter for the Hawks, the previous starter Louis Williams, and De Marley Carroll became the Hawks' starter with a three-point shot from the outside and a defensive hand.

The two sides jumped the ball, Kerr Aldridge won the ball back, and the game officially began.

The 76ers attacked, McCarvey controlled the ball, and it was Jeff Tig who defended him.

And Anxi was stabbed to death by Demari Carroll as soon as he started, this kind of close defensive treatment Anxi has to enjoy almost every game this season, Demarai Carroll's defense is quite aggressive, and Mike Budenholzer's reliance on Demarey Carroll is not completely unreasonable.

The first ball in the opening game, Anxi didn't take the ball, McCarvey held the ball outside and attacked Jeff Teague, Jeff Teag's defense was not good, he was passed by McCarvey in one step, but McCarvey broke through to the inside, and when he got up to make a layup, he suddenly found that Al Horford's help defense had come up, and Jeff Tig was followed by the bag, and McCarvey was immediately surrounded.

He wanted to pass the ball, but as soon as the pass button was pressed, it was cut off by Jeff Tigue.

The 76ers' first offense was unsuccessful, and Jeff Teague, who cut the basketball, slowed down in the backcourt before advancing to the frontcourt with the ball.

The Hawks, who insist on the Spurs' blocking and cutting style of play, have also gained a rhythm advantage, that is, they can be fast or slow, against the 76ers, a team that plays fast and fast, the Hawks' style of play is completely slowing down the rhythm, trying not to let the 76ers play fast offense.

Jeff Teag's defense was average, and McCarvey's defense was even worse, so Jeff Tig hit the frontcourt, and after controlling the outside line for a while, he directly accelerated past McCarvey, rushed to the inside, and completed a layup before Cole Aldridge made up the defense.

The layup was hit, but it was the Hawks who scored first.

The 76ers started the second offense of the game, McCarvey advanced to the front court with the ball, Anxi came to a cross run with McCarvey at the top of the arc, and a hand-to-hand cooperation, and the basketball came to Anxi's hands.

An Xi, who was holding the ball, faced Jeff Teague, who was switching defenses, and shook directly with a cross step, shook off Jeff Teague, slammed a big stride to the right, and directly threw a dry pull-out jumper.

With a bang, Vajovia's long-suppressed cheers broke out directly.

Ball in! Anxi also scored two points in the opening game.

The game continued, the Eagles' offense, Jeff Tig carried the ball to the frontcourt, then broke through directly, attracted the defense, and distributed the ball to Kyle Cavour on the outside.

Korver catches the ball, and the league's top three-point shooter opens his hand to shoot a three-pointer.

Jack Crowder pounced hard, his big hand outstretched, pointing directly at the basketball, and Korver immediately changed his movements in the air and turned to passing.

Paul Millsap on the side of the basket received the basketball and pulled up the dunk directly.

There was an explosion, and the Wachovia Arena resounded with an exclamation.

"Paul Millsap's dunk, the Eagles played smartly at the beginning, found a chance by moving the ball, and it seemed like the tempo was controlled by the Eagles."

The 76ers continued to attack, McCarvey held the ball, and Anxi played without the ball.

However, Demarare Carroll followed Anxi to the death, which made Anxi have no chance to receive the ball at all.

McCarvey directly held the ball and began to break through, and then a split shot, Anxi received the basketball at the top of the arc, but there was still no chance, and Demarai Carroll did not leave an inch.

So Anxi continued to pass the ball, he passed the ball to Thaddeus Young in the middle distance, and then Thaddeus Young continued to transfer the ball, and Jack Crowder in the bottom corner received the ball and shot a three-pointer directly.

The ball didn't get away from the defender completely, and Jack Crowder was interfered with by Kyle Cornwall.

With a bang, the basketball popped out of the frame, Paul Millsap on the inside grabbed the rebound, and the 76ers' offense was once again in vain.

The Eagles' offense was not soft at all, Jeff Tig advanced to the frontcourt, and Paul Millsap pulled down the high post directly and responded with his back to the ball.

Jeff Teague ran to the basket on a counter-run, attracting most of the 76ers' defense, and at this time Paul Millsap directly distributed the ball to Al Horford, who put a mid-range cushion on his toes and made a light mid-range shot.

With a bang, it hit again.

An Xi outside the three-point line is a little helpless, the 76ers' defense is still a little worse, but fortunately, Lloyd Pierce has begun to transform the team's defense, defense is not a day to do well, at least now the 76ers' defense has a trend of development.

The score became 6:2, the 76ers attacked, and in this round, the 76ers had to score.

So An Xi took the ball himself, and he decided to play singles.

Demarley Carroll continued to cling to Anxi, holding Anxi's back with his hand, and as Anxi shook, Anxi began to find that this previously unknown Demarai Carroll was surprisingly well defended, at least comparable to his teammate Jack Crowder......

An Xi turned around, and then retreated, but he was not able to shake off De Ma Ray Carol completely, and De Ma Ray Carroll's outstretched long arm still interfered with An Xi.

With a bang, An Xi's turnaround and step-back jumper also ended in iron.

Al Horford picked up the rebound steadily, and at the moment the Wachovia Arena was silent, and at the beginning of the game, the 76ers were suppressed by the Hawks, and it looked like the situation of the game was very bad.

Jeff Teague holds the ball to the frontcourt, and the Eagles pull away with all the players, allowing your brother Jeff Teague to single McCarvey.

Anxi was ready to make up the defense, but Jeff Teague's speed was too fast, the first step was directly past McCarvey, and by the time Anxi rushed over to make up the defense, Jeff Tig had already completed a long-distance throw.

At 8:2, the Eagles opened with momentum, and the score difference further widened.

Anxi continued to come by himself, asked for the ball directly in the backcourt, controlled the ball and rushed to the frontcourt, without stopping for a moment, holding the ball and rushing into the inside.

The Hawks' interior line was suddenly in chaos, but Al Horford still guarded the basket steadily, and Anxi felt that there were not many opportunities, and he saw McCarvey who was completely empty on the outside, so he passed the ball over.

After McCarvey received the ball, he didn't shoot directly, and when the team couldn't score in a row, McCarvey was also a little anxious, but fortunately, he hadn't lost his mind, and he also understood that his outside three-point was very unreliable, so he could only continue to break through.

However, Jeff Tig did not appear in front of McCarvey in time, so McCarvey rushed to the free-throw line with the ball and shot a completely empty jumper, seemingly full of confidence.

It's a pity that the iron struck again.

There was a lament at the Wachovia Arena, and the 76ers fans seemed to see the margin widening again.

There was a hand-to-hand fight under the basket, and when Kerr Aldridge withstood Al Horford, Anxi suddenly struck, jumped up, directly grabbed the offensive rebound, and slammed the basketball into the basket!

There was a thud, and the Wachovia Arena was first filled with exclamations, followed by cheers like a tsunami.

"The 76ers finally scored! These 2 points are crucial! ”

The commentator at the scene shouted that Anxi's 2 points broke the 76ers' scoring drought, and next, they need to further maintain their current feel.

And just when the Wachovia Arena was cheering, the Eagles directly poured a basin of cold water, and Kyle Cavour turned around and scored a three-pointer directly, and the difference suddenly became 11:4!

"Kyle Korwal's three points! Entered! The 76ers' defense was too relaxed, and Kyle Korver directly found a vacancy, such a defense, even if it enters the playoffs, it won't go far! Charles Barkley shook his head, disappointed with the 76ers' defense.

Jack Crowder made a mistake on the defensive end, and Anxi walked over and patted him, telling him to increase his focus and keep an eye on his own man.

In Anxi's view, the 76ers' group of young players do need the experience of the game to gradually improve, Jack Crowder is not as good as he imagined, and now he can only be regarded as a qualified starter, although McCarvey has gorgeous data, but most of the time, he is unreliable.

This is especially true of Cole Aldridge on the inside, although with Cole Aldridge on the floor, the 76ers' rebounds and frame protection are guaranteed, but it is clear that Cole Aldridge's appearance has not brought a qualitative improvement to the 76ers' defense.

This is also the reason why Anxi once he and Evan Turner are partnered alone, the chemistry is better, and the 76ers can always beat their opponents in a few games when McCarvey is injured.

At 11:4, Brett Brown called a timeout, and in the opening meeting, the 76ers lost by a small margin.

(To be continued.) )
