Chapter 222: There's Still a Chance
Scarlett really appeared, and the camera flashed by, and Scarlett's beautiful face appeared on the big screen above the arena. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The scene was full of exclamations, it turned out that the hardcore fan who was crazy about talking to Anxi on Twitter was Scarlett!
Hollywood superstar - Scarlett Johansson!
Henry Abbott was a little excited, and he felt a pang of excitement when he thought that it was actually Hollywood's big-name Scarlett Johansson who bet on him, and it was Scarlett Johansson who Kevin Durant wanted to drink bathwater.
If the Spurs win this game, Henry Abbott will not only get the equivalent of $500,000 of his own half-year's salary, but also win a lot of attention, which is enough for a journalist who wants to make a name for himself to make a name for himself.
Scarlett Johansson completely ignored the strange stares of the Spurs fans on the sidelines, and after loud cheers, she sat down on her own.
"I really didn't expect Scarlett Johansson to be a die-hard fan of Anxi, this is big news!" Kenny Smith on the commentary bench was also a little surprised, and Shaquille O'Neal, who is good at tricking players, continued with a wicked smile: "I really don't know what crazy things Kevin Durant will do after hearing about this......"
At this time, there are not a few fans who think of Kevin Durant, and Durant's Twitter is immediately full, what your goddess is about to be snatched away by Anxi, and why go to Anxi to help order Scarlett's bathwater, and other ridiculous replies are endless.
The game continued, and after the Spurs' timeout, the first thing was that their offense was more stable than before, and the success rate of the slow-paced offense was still very high.
Tony Parker broke through the ball, Danny Green received the ball to shoot, shook Jack Crowder, and after the breakthrough, he attracted the defense and made a grounded pass to the inside, and Thiago Split easily put the basketball into the basket.
At 12:6, the Spurs had stabilized the situation that was gradually collapsing in the opening game.
The game continued, and the 76ers played much smoother in this game, and Anxi also felt a rare sense of ease, he gradually rarely made strong shots, and when he encountered a bag, he shared the ball, and the 76ers played well.
The game ended in the first quarter, and the 76ers led the Spurs by four points, 26-22.
In the first quarter, Anxi scored 8 points, plus 3 assists and 1 steal, and his performance was relatively flat, but the team's lead was a good thing for the 76ers.
But from the second quarter, the Spurs, who were gradually getting into the groove, picked up speed.
After all, the speed of the 76ers will not be fast, and as long as the Spurs speed up, the 76ers will be a little overwhelmed.
In the first half of the second quarter, An Xi continued to play, and the development of the game was somewhat unexpected for him.
The Spurs started with a direct and quick attack, and the new Marco Belinelli received the ball and hit a 2-pointer to narrow the gap to 2 points.
turned around and defended the 76ers' offense, and then took advantage of the time difference between the offense and the rebound to play a wave of fast-break counterattacks from the 76ers to level the difference.
The Spurs suddenly picked up, and Brett Brown didn't call a timeout, after all, the game had just begun, and he didn't need to call a timeout immediately, but just waved his hand on the sidelines, signaling the team to pay attention to the success rate on the offensive end and pay attention to controlling the tempo.
In the second quarter, McCarvey was already on the court, because Anxi was also there, and after he dribbled the ball past half court, he handed the basketball to Anxi.
Anxi held the ball, and the Spurs' defensive strategy returned to the stage of resolute containment, because McCarvey was on the floor, and the 76ers had one less threatening three-point point from the outside.
Marco Belinelli and Cowai Leonard began to flank Anxi as they pleased.
In this ball, An Xi did not choose to pass, unless it was a great opportunity, An Xi felt that it was better for him to make a strong shot.
So after leaning on Kowai Leonard with his back, Anxi shook a little, then jumped up and threw a backward jumper.
Kowhi Leonard hurriedly pounced, and Marco Berinelli took a step slower, raised his arm and watched Anxi dodge Kowylenard's interference and throw the ball to the basket.
At the moment when the two of them landed, there was a bang, and the basketball went into the net.
The ball is in!
The 76ers regained the lead, and Scarlett stood up abruptly again, but this time she didn't dance, just clapped her hands and sat down again.
Anxi didn't celebrate, after all, the Spurs were the place where his career began, and at the ATT Arena, limited celebrations can be had, but too much excessive celebration will not work.
The Spurs then began to attack, Manuginobili, who played a cameo point guard, seductively dodged Francisco Garcia's defense, and then dodged Anxi's supplementary defense with a European step, and rushed into the interior to make a layup.
The margin is equalized.
The 76ers' offense, after Anxi held the ball to attract the bag, turned around and suddenly jumped, and seemed to be about to lean back again.
Kawhi Leonard hurriedly pounced, and Marco Berinelli jumped up in time this time, but Anxi in the air surprisingly threw the basketball into the penalty area.
In the penalty area, it was McCarvey who cut into the penalty area.
McCarvey performed badly in the finals, and this game fell to the bench, and the Spurs naturally didn't pay much attention to the 76ers' third scoring point in the regular season.
Anxi's pass was soft and went straight to McCarvey's hands.
McCarvey caught the ball, picked it up, and dunked the basketball into the basket.
McCarvey is also close to two meters tall, which is considered a tall point guard, and it is not too difficult to dunk under the basket, and after he dunked successfully, he got the first personal point of the game.
And then, the Spurs attacked again, Manuginobili broke through in Europe, attracted the defense, and then it was a horizontal pass, passed to Kowhi Leonard, who was also an empty cut into the penalty area, and Kowhi Leonard pulled up another violent dunk.
The atmosphere at the ATT Arena was brought to a climax.
The score was tied again, and the next game, as if repeating the process, the 76ers took the lead, the Spurs equalized, and Anxi continued to use his individual offense to get good scoring opportunities.
And for Henry Abbott, such a game is very uncomfortable to watch.
He gambled $500,000 in this game, maybe for Scarlett, $500,000 is really nothing, but for Henry Abbot, this $500,000 is his half life.
He would rather see a game in which the Spurs pull away from the point gap in waves, rather than a constant tie as they are now, with even the 76ers occasionally taking the lead.
In such a game, Henry Abbott was going to stop his heart beating.
Scarlett didn't feel this way, on the one hand, for her, $500,000 is really nothing, on the other hand, the main reason is that even the current game makes Scarlett very comfortable to watch, because the game is played like this, which is enough to satisfy her.
In the second half of the second quarter, the score was still anxious, and seeing Anxi's physical decline in physical fitness, Brett Brown hesitated for a while, but still replaced Anxi.
After all, McCarvey and Anxi played well on several balls in this game, and it seemed that the game was in good shape, and Brett Brown decided to hand over the second half of the second quarter to McCarvey and Pau Gasol.
But after the substitutions, the game restarted, and it was different.
The 76ers lost Anxi, the most threatening offensive point on the outside, and the Spurs' defensive pressure was greatly reduced, and they immediately put defensive pressure on McCarvey.
Then, within two minutes of Anxi's departure, the 76ers were overtaken by the Spurs, but they still struggled to maintain the situation on the court.
But soon, the Spurs counterattacked with a wave of fast attack, and after scoring the goal, they played their momentum, and a wave of 10:3 offensive climax expanded the difference to 8 points in one fell swoop.
The small climax of this wave of offense suddenly made Brett Brown a little anxious, and immediately called a timeout.
Looking at McCarvey and Pau Gasol, who were slowly walking off the court, Brett Brown shook his head, and sure enough, now the 76ers are suffering from Anxi dependence, and without Anxi being present, the 76ers' offense will collapse immediately.
Brett Brown looked at An Xi, who had just rested for more than 4 minutes, and waved his hand: "An, you go!" ”
Since the 76ers suffer from Anxi dependence, the best way to solve the current disadvantage on the court is naturally to replace Anxi.
Anxi also rested for more than four minutes, and his physical strength has recovered a little, and he is back on the line, but at this time, the Spurs are already 8 points ahead, and the situation is still a little unfavorable for the 76ers.
But Anxi didn't care, in this game, to be precise, he didn't have much strength.
In this game, before falling behind, the 76ers played very smoothly, and they didn't need Anxi to exert their strength at all, but now, the team has reached the time when Anxi needs to stand up.
During the timeout, Henry Abbott felt a little excited, the Spurs starting to take the lead, and he felt that the 76ers were about to collapse.
And seeing Anxi take off his training jacket again, Henry Abbott didn't care, he felt that the Spurs were starting to exert their strength, and this game, like the previous games, was gradually losing suspense.
Anxi moved his muscles a few times after coming out of the court, and then received the basketball from the backcourt.
Then, he controlled the ball past half court and began to direct his teammates to run.
Brett Brown transformed the lineup on the court into a lineup similar to the first quarter, with James Anderson and Francesco Garcia on the wing and Antoine Jamison and Cole Aldridge on the inside.
But in fact, this lineup is still a bit behind the lineup in the first quarter, and the main gap lies in Antoine Jamison, who is not as good as Gasol in terms of the quality of coverage and the threat of personal offense.
Therefore, when Anxi held the ball on the outside, the Spurs did not cover it, and when Anxi rushed towards the inside line with a cross step, Boris Dior rushed directly and cooperated with Danny Green to complete the pinch attack on Anxi.
Anxi chose to pass, and now the 76ers have three three-point shooters on the court, and Anxi feels that the choice of passing is better, and maybe he can pass a three-point opportunity.
After the ball was passed, he did get a three-point opportunity, but James Anderson, who shot three three-pointers in the first quarter, missed the shot.
The three-point miss, Anxi didn't care, no one could score every shot.
After the Spurs grabbed the rebound, the 76ers quickly retreated, but the Spurs' offense has been very stable after the instability of the first quarter.
After giving Boris Dio to the high post, Boris Dio made another lateral move, handing the ball to Danny Green, who ran to the top of the arc without the ball.
With the help of Dior's cover, Danny Green shook off Jack Crowder, made a three-point shot, and with a bang, successfully hit!
The Spurs played another successful wave of tactics, scoring three points and stretching the margin to double digits in one fell swoop.
Henry Abbott cheered as the Spurs fans cheered, and although the half was not over yet, it seemed that it was only a matter of time before the Spurs won the game and lifted the O'Brien Cup.
An Xi glanced at the scoreboard above his head, he held the ball from the backcourt again, this ball, An Xi did not hesitate, a very fast single, leaning on Danny Green, before Boris Dio's bag did not arrive, directly turned around, backward jump shot - personal stunt desperate admiration, and shot like this.
Danny Green tried his best to interfere, but this ball An Xi had a premeditated shot, he aimed at the basket early, and the basketball naturally went into the net without a doubt.
Anxi scored, and the difference narrowed to 9 points.
Then, the Spurs attacked, Manuginobili hit a mid-range shot to reextend the margin to 11 points.
An Xi didn't show weakness either, turning around and throwing another step-back jumper.
The margin is back to 9 points.
Then, the Spurs continued to attack, and Boris Dio on the inside turned and hit a layup.
Anxi turned around and used his back to hold the ball to attract the defense, and after the ball, he assisted Francisco Garcia to hit a three-pointer.
The difference became 8 points.
In the next round, the two teams hit the iron one after another.
In the end, at halftime, the 76ers and Spurs were tied at 58:50, and the Spurs still led by eight points.
In the third quarter of the game, Anxi played at the beginning of the game and continued to help the team stabilize the situation, but in the second half of the game, Anxi left the court to rest, and the Spurs took advantage of this opportunity to stretch the difference to 15 points in a wave.
And this 15-point lead was maintained by the Spurs until the fourth quarter.
Knowing that with five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Spurs still maintained a lead of about 15 points.
Henry Abbott's heart was pounding out of his chest, and there were only five minutes left before the Spurs won the game and he won the bet with Scarlett.
With a 15-point difference, Henry Abbott feels that there is no accident in this game, not that this point difference is safe, but depending on the situation on the court, the 76ers have no chance to recover the score at all.
Henry Abbott looked at Scarlett Johansson in the distance, and he found that the Hollywood superstar was still sitting in his place with a calm appearance.
Henry Albert snorted coldly: "Hmph, little girl, when the game is over, I see if you can be so calm!" ”
After thinking about it, Henry Abbott didn't feel cool enough, and in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the ATT arena, he took out his mobile phone and tweeted: "Spurs! Overall Winner! ”
Then Aite in the back played Scarlett and Scarlett's tuba, and asked Scarlett directly when she would cash out her bet, apparently, although the game was not over yet, Henry Albert already felt that he had won.
At this time, Anxi on the field is still fighting hard, with a 15-point difference, there is still a chance!
In Anxi's hand, there is also a big hole card!
