Playing at home, in the cheers of the fans, the 76ers defeated the Pistons 119-104 and won two consecutive victories, and Anxi scored 25 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 5 steals in the whole game, and performed well.
Although Andre Drummond had a big double-double of 23 points and 22 rebounds, his teammates performed badly, and under Anxi's defense, Josh Smith only hit 3 of 17 shots, plus Blanton Jennings on 10 shots and Caldwell Pope on 7 of 23 shots, the Pistons lost on their own offense, and the former Eagle King Josh Smith struggled, and the Pistons are said to have plans to cut him off his stop-loss.
A day later, the 76ers continued to host the Knicks, the Knicks had just come out of the bottom of the East, and they broke out with great resilience and fighting spirit in this game, and the two teams played until the end of the fourth quarter, with the Knicks leading by five points, and finally the 76ers fouled the tactics, but they were powerless to recover.
In the end, the 76ers lost to the Knicks 101-108, ending a two-game winning streak, and the team's record became 24-13, and the 76ers remained firmly in third place in the East.
The Hawks, who could still compete with the 76ers, have entered a bottleneck period recently, losing consecutive games, and have slipped to fifth in the East, and the fourth place in the East was won by the Bulls, and behind the Hawks, the Raptors, who sent away Rudy Guy but played a wave of consecutive wins, are also in hot pursuit.
Time into 2014, the situation in the east is fierce, fortunately, the position of the 76ers is quite stable, and then you just need to do your best, the top four positions in the east are worry-free.
On January 15, the 76ers faced the Bobcats, who have performed well this season and still retain the hope of qualifying for the Eastern Conference playoffs, with Kemba Walker and Al Jefferson propping up the team, but facing the 76ers, the Bobcats still lost.
At 100:88, the Bobcats lost by 12 points, and Anxi scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, hand-handing a loss to his former college teammates.
Two days later, the 76ers stepped on Chicago soil, and at the Union Center, the 76ers lost again, 78:103, Anxi did not perform well, but he was still the best performance on the team, with 20 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 4 steals in the whole game, but the shooting percentage was a bit dismal, hitting only 7 of 19 shots, and the shooting rate was only 37%.
Losing again, or losing to fourth place in the East, the 76ers were a little irritable, and in several consecutive infighting games in the East, the 76ers lost, they lost to the Knicks, they lost to the Bulls.
The record has also changed to 25-15, and the Bulls and Raptors behind the 76ers are gradually catching up, while the Hawks are starting to fall behind, and now, they are sixth in the East.
The playoff situation in the East has also suddenly become intense, 11 of the 15 teams are competing for a playoff spot, and these 11 teams are divided into three levels, the first level is the Pacers and the Heat with the best record in the East, the Pacers are currently 31-7 and continue to rank first in the East, while the Heat are 28-11 and ranked second in the East, and the 76ers can barely squeeze into this level, their record is 25-15, 3.5 wins behind the Heat.
The Bulls, Raptors, and Hawks are the second tier, and their records are all around 20-50% win percentage.
Then there are the Wizards, Nets, Hornets, Knicks, and Cavaliers competing for the remaining two spots, of course, just over the halfway point of the season, the playoff situation in the East is not easy to say, the top four of the 76ers are worry-free, but the Bulls, Raptors and Hawks are not easy to say, they may decline at any time, and the Wizards Nets also have a chance to go further.
Soon, on January 24, 2014, the Knicks broke out first, or Carmelo Anthony.
In the New York Knicks vs. Charlotte Bobcats, Carmelo Anthony erupted.
In this game between direct competitors in the Eastern Conference playoffs, Carmelo Anthony got into the groove from the beginning, hitting 8 of 10 shots and scoring 20 points in the first quarter, and no one noticed anything unusual, because it is not uncommon for Anthony to explode in a single quarter.
But then, in the second quarter, Anthony continued to play, shooting 7 of 11, and then cutting 17 points, after halftime, Anthony slashed 37 points, leading the Knicks to lead the Bobcats by 21 points, a must-win victory, about to be bagged by the Knicks.
Mike Woodson chose to keep going, keeping Anthony on the floor in the third quarter.
Then in the third quarter, Carmelo Anthony scored another 19 points, taking his single-game score to 56 points with a full quarter remaining.
People are beginning to think of the game when Anxi scored 66 points not long ago, Anxi scored 52 points in the third quarter, but that game was very intense, and the winner was not decided until the end of the fourth quarter, and on the Knicks' side, after three quarters, they were already 35 points ahead of the Hornets, so now it depends on whether Anthony can pull down his face and brush the score.
At this time, LeBron James, who was attending an event in Miami, learned about it and tweeted: "I'm attending an event and I've heard that Anthony has scored more than 50 points in three quarters!"
Then, there was also a call for Mike Woodson to keep Anthony on the pitch.
As a result, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Anthony continued to play.
After playing six minutes, Anthony's fitness began to decline, and he only made 1 of 5 shots in the final quarter, scored 6 points on free throws, and then improved his score to 62 points, and then Mike Woodson replaced Anthony.
As a result, Carmelo Anthony's scoring was frozen, 62 points, a new career high, 62 points, 13 rebounds in the game, and a foul, but other than that, the rest of the stats were zero.
After the game, LeBron James continued to tweet for Anthony, who he thought could have scored more.
And Anxi, who had finished training, was also stopped by reporters and asked this question.
Anthony scored 62 points, Anxi naturally paid attention, the reporter asked this question, Anxi also talked about his opinion: "Mero is a strong scorer, he has the ability to score 62 points or more. ā
Anthony scored 62 points, but not long ago, Anxi scored 66 points, and Anthony seemed to be more efficient when he only took 35 shots, but in fact, Anthony's shooting percentage was 54.5%, which was a little lower than Anxi's 60%, and the reason why Anthony was able to score more points with fewer shots relied on free throws and more three-pointers.
Carmelo Anthony's 62 points excited the NBA for a while, and during this time, the 76ers' games continued to win and lose, and the game went on until the end of January.
Samsinki informed Anxi in advance, and he told Anxi that there would be a deal for the team, and if Anxi did not agree, the deal would be canceled immediately.
"Spencer Hoyse went to the Cavaliers in exchange for two future second-round picks. ā
An Xi frowned: "It's just two second-round picks?"
Samsinki nodded: "Yes, Spencer has played half a season, has always been a bench, although he can still average 10 points and 6 rebounds per game, but the value of the trade is not so great." ā
"If it's just two second-round picks, there's no need to trade, right?" An Xi couldn't help but question, Spencerhaus's tactical value is still there, as a center who can shoot three-pointers, if it's only two second-round picks, it's better to keep it.
Samsinki let out a wry smile: "Ann, this deal from Spencer involves the next deal. ā
"Can you tell us about the next deal?"
Samsinki nodded: "I have already negotiated with the Lakers that Thaddeus Young will add two second-round picks in exchange for Pau Gasol, and now I just need to wait for these two second-round picks to be in place, and the deal can be completed." ā
Pau Gasol?!Anxi was shocked.
If he can really win Pau Gasol, Anxi is confident to take the team to the next level, after all, Pau Gasol is also an All-Star level player, although he has struggled with the Lakers this season, his playing time is not guaranteed, and he has been mired in trade rumors, but Anxi understands that a player like Pau Gasol lacks a good environment, and if he changes teams, he can contribute immediately.
Just like Pau Gasol's transfer from the Grizzlies to the Lakers back then, after the transfer, the team's combat effectiveness was immediately improved.
When he heard that the team was interested in Pau Gasol and basically agreed, Anxi could only nod his head, and a strong reinforcement was coming.
ā¦ā¦
While Anxi happily waited for the Paul Gasol deal to finally complete, LeBron James also broke out.
In a game at the end of January, it was still the Charlotte Bobcats who became the background, LeBron James scored 11 points in the first quarter, and the Heat also led the Bobcats.
Then, in the second quarter, James scored another 13 points, and the Heat continued to extend their lead, and after halftime, they led the Bobcats by six points.
In the third quarter, LeBron James exploded, he hit five three-pointers in a row, scored 25 points in the third quarter, plus 24 points in the first half, and after three quarters, James scored 49 points! But at this time, the Heat had already led the Bobcats by 21 points.
When everyone was talking about whether James would continue to play, LeBron James played resolutely.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, he hit a mid-range shot to score more than 50 points, and then until there were 5 minutes and 46 seconds left in the fourth quarter, LeBron James scored six points, breaking his personal single-game scoring record, and the Heat still maintained a 17-point lead at this time.
LeBron James is still not out of the court, and he continues to score after scoring 57 points.
After two consecutive three-pointers, LeBron James did not leave the court, and the Heat's lead was narrowed as a result.
Until the end of the game, LeBron James hit a 2-pointer, and then caused a foul on Kemba Walker, scored four straight points on both free throws, and the score also broke through 60 points to 61 points.
At this time, the Heat led the Bobcats by 16 points, and with the last 1 minute and 35 seconds left in the game, the game was completely out of suspense, and the Heat made consecutive substitutions to replace LeBron James.
So, near the end of the game, LeBron James's score was also frozen, 61 points, and he also completed a 60+ scoring performance...... (To be continued.) )
