Anxi executed the additional penalty, and the penalty was steadily slammed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This brings the difference to 11 points.

With a beep, the referee blew the whistle again, and the Pacers called a timeout.

After a pause to set up a tactical play, Frank Vogel replaced the full main force, while the 76ers also replaced Jack Crowder and Omir Asik on the inside, and Gasol stayed off the court to continue to rest.

In fact, everyone forgot because of the strong performance of the 76ers, the 76ers actually played back-to-back games in this game, but because the team was in good shape, Brett Brown let Anxi rest for a whole quarter in the third quarter, and let Pau Gasol play a whole quarter, so in the crucial fourth quarter decisive moment, Brett Brown also took a risk and let Pau Gasol continue to rest.

And the replacement of Asik and Jack Crowder is obviously aimed at strengthening the defense.

The team already has an 11-point lead, so if you defend well, you can basically win this game.

The 76ers quickly did just that, stepping up their intensity on the defensive end and then holding the 11-point deficit until the end of the game.

In the end, with Pau Gasol not playing in the fourth quarter, the 76ers defeated the Pacers 105-94 away and won a wave of three in a row.

And this four-game consecutive road trip is finally over, the 76ers are 3-1, and their performance is not bad, and next, they will return to their home court and continue to fight after recuperating.

After the game, Anxi and Paul George said hello and chatted a few more words.

In the end, the two agreed to meet in the playoffs.

"See you in the playoffs, Ann, and hopefully you can beat Miami and make it to the Eastern Conference Finals."

An Xi scratched his armpits: "Why don't you face Miami?" ”

"Because Miami or we are not going to fall to third or fourth."

"And what if you fall to second place? Aren't we going to meet in the Eastern Conference semifinals? An Xi's eyes widened and he continued to ask.

"No, that's not possible, we're going to lock up the first spot in the East until the end of the regular season."

"Alright, then let's meet in the East."

"East showdown, one point of victory or defeat!"

……

After the game, Anxi was interviewed by the media, and in this game, he scored 37 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, and performed well, comprehensively suppressing Paul George.

In the face of a series of questions from reporters, An Xi also replied accordingly: "Yes, we played well in this game and suppressed the Pacers from beginning to end. ”

"Paul George? He's a good player, he's one of the top 10 stars in the league. ”

"Me? Maybe I'll be a little bit better than him (laughs), well, in the top five in the league. ”

"What do you think about the MVP rankings that have never been in the top five? I don't think much, it's just a leaderboard. ”

"yes, that's right, the playoffs are coming and our goal is simple, to get to the end as much as possible."

……

In the face of the media, An Xi coped with it easily, and laughed at the right time, signaling that this was a joke and not to take it seriously.

After the interview, the 76ers did not stop at all, and directly boarded the plane back to Philadelphia, and then they will have a three-day break.

And during these three days, the 76ers did not relax and continued to start their training day.

For the 76ers, this streak does not mean that they do not need to make changes, and in order to achieve what Anxi said in an interview with reporters to go as far as possible in the playoffs, Brett Brown and Lloyd Pierce continue to improve the team's offensive and defensive playbook.

The improvement is simple, Lloyd Pierce has made improvements to the team's defense, he has made more demands on Anxi in the team's training, he has asked Anxi to make up for it more, and to appear more in the position between the box and the three-point range, to help the team control this position.

As for Jack Crowder, Lloyd Pierce decided to make Jack Crowder functional, which means that Jack Crowder will become a single defensive weapon on the team's perimeter, focusing on the arrowhead player who can defend the opponent alone.

For example, in the last game against the Pacers, if Lloyd Pierce was followed in the latest changes, then it would not be Anxi who defended Paul George, but Jack Crowder.

The advantage of this is that Anxi, who is also excellent in helping defense, can focus more on improving the team's overall defense, and Jack Crowder's defense is also very good, and focusing on individual defense may also have an effect.

In addition to the changes on the defensive end, on the offensive end, the team also made changes.

Brett Brown wants McCarvey to strengthen his off-ball ability, and he is now increasingly discovering how much of a threat Anxi poses with the ball in hand, and in almost every position in the half, as long as Anxi holds the ball, the opposing defenders will be terrified, and he has to completely bias the center of gravity of the defense towards Anxi.

So, Brett Brown plans to let Anxi get the ball more and McCarvey to cut more without the ball.

These changes are easier said than done, and require a long period of practice and practice.

And in between trainings, the players will also have some fun, such as playing some games or something.

After the morning of training, the players who had just eaten a nutritious meal and had yet to digest began to look for ways to digest the exercise, and James Anderson directly proposed.

"Ann, why don't we play a game of one-on-one multiplayer attack?"

"What?" An Xi didn't hear it clearly at first, so he asked again.

James Anderson added: "Why don't we play a game, we put five people to attack, how about you and Jay and Omir defense?" ”

"Three defenses and five? This ......" An Xigang wanted to refuse this proposal on the grounds of "is this not you looking for fun".

Lloyd Pierce walked out, clapped his hands and applauded: "James's proposal is good, Ann, I think you can try it." ”

The assistant coach spoke, and Anxi was also helpless, so he had to try.

On the court, James Anderson hand-picked his teammates and assembled a five-man lineup with athletic ability.

Point guard McCarvey, shooting guard James Anderson himself, small forward Troy Daniels, power forward Francesco Garcia, and center Pau Gasol.

Seeing this lineup, An Xi wanted to say: "James, did you kid do it on purpose?" ”

In this lineup, in addition to McCarvey and Pau Gasol, there are three people who can shoot from outside the three-point line, which means that no matter what, when Asik is guarding the basket, Anxi and Jack Crowder can't plug all the outside holes, and it looks like it's incomprehensible.

Therefore, An Xi had to speak out and make restrictions: "Your lineup is too laid, three can shoot three points, how can I defend myself and Jie?" ”

Lloyd Pierce walked out of this suit: "Well, make a limit, no three-point shooting is allowed from the outside, only impact the basket or mid-range shots." ”

Lloyd Pierce's restriction basically limits the range of activities of the offensive five-man group to the three-point line, so that at first glance, it is much simpler, Anxi and Jack Leud only need to run more, and there is still a chance to completely lock the offensive five-man group.

That's what Anxi thought, he felt he had a chance.

But after the game started, Anxi was confused.

McCarvey became a ball stop, barely taking the ball, James Anderson made a shot from the outside, and Jack Crowder made up for it.

Then James Anderson gave the ball to McCarvey, McCarvey made a breakthrough, and Anxi made up for it.

Then, McCarvey split the ball, Francesco Garcia on the other side received the ball, a break, Asik had to make up for it, Garcia shared the ball, and Gasol on the inside received the basketball and dunked it lightly.

In the first round, the five-man group scored easily, and the trio didn't even struggle.

An Xi was stunned, and then shouted fiercely: "Come again!" ”

Then, Anxi strengthened his running defense, the five-man attack method remained unchanged, McCarvey was still standing at the top of the arc, and when the ball reached him, he broke through, forcing Anxi Anxi to step forward to make up for the defense.

Then divide the ball and give it to Francisco Garcia, because Garcia's initial position is outside the three-point line, so he also needs to dribble, dribble two steps and then find an opportunity to shoot.

Anxi took two steps to make up for it.

Garcia didn't hesitate and continued to divide the ball.

McCarvey took control again, and McCarvey made a series of big strides towards the penalty area, and Asik met him.

In the end, McCarvey also shared the ball, and it was Pau Gasol who scored.

Pau Gasol gently put the basketball into the hoop, and there was a round of applause on the sidelines.

Seeing the ball go in, An Xi crossed his waist and shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's too difficult, three defenses and five." (To be continued.) )
