Chapter 103: First in the East (Ask for Recommendation Votes)

On March 10, the 76ers continued to play on the road, this time from the West back to the East, away against the New York Knicks. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

After trading Tony Rotten, the Knicks' record recovered, but they still lost to the 76ers, who won the Jazz and their morale was high.

Anxi performed well, and when he tasted the sweetness in the last game, he continued to hit the interior in this game, getting 9 free throws, all 9 free throws, plus 8 of 14 shots, Anxi used a very low shot in exchange for a high score of 27 points, plus 5 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals, leading the team to easily defeat the Knicks 123-100.

After two consecutive wins, the 76ers gradually got into the groove.

But next, the 76ers will face a strong opponent in the East, the Indiana Pacers, who are currently the first in the East.

It's still an away game, and it's a back-to-back battle, so no one is optimistic that the 76ers can win, and the impact of back-to-back battles is huge, but Anxi doesn't feel this way, he played too easily in the last game, Anxi didn't make much effort, and the Knicks lost.

So in an interview with reporters before the game, Anxi said quite relaxedly: "The Pacers are indeed a strong opponent, but in other words, it is the same, in comparison, we are also a strong opponent for the Pacers, so this game will be very exciting, the Pacers have a chance to win, and of course we have a chance." ”

And Brett Brown directly began to talk about tactics: "Frank Vogel is a good coach, I guess he will use the defensive tactics of shrinking the inside line to deal with us in this game, because An's breakthrough state is too good during this time, Coach Vogel will definitely make a targeted arrangement, but we are not afraid of such a targeted arrangement, because we will also change the tactics, Anxi's breakthrough is very strong, but at the same time he is also an excellent shooter......"

It looks like Bret Brown has leaked all of the team's tactical changes, but in fact it was deliberately done by Bret Brown, who was setting off smoke bombs.

Frank Vogel is not a fool either, and naturally understands that Brett Brown is luring himself into making the wrong tactical arrangement, so before the game starts, he did not make too many changes to the team's tactics, but just told Paul George to pay attention to the defense of Anxi in the game.

Frank Vogel didn't make too many changes because of Anxi, of course, he also has this confidence, the Pacers' defensive system is already very complete, Roy Hibbert on the inside is the big gate in the restricted area, and Paul George and George Hill on the outside are players with strong single defense strength.

And in this game, Frank Vogel is ready to hand over Anxi to Paul George for single defense, on the one hand, he has confidence in Paul George's defense, on the other hand, Frank Vogel thinks very simply, Anxi is the star of the 76ers, and Paul George is the star of the Pacers, even if Paul George can't prevent Anxi, the big deal is that the two of them explode each other, the Pacers have a more complete system and better players, and it is the Pacers who win in the end.

In the evening, the Conseco arena was already in full swing, with Pacers fans waving towels, cheering cards and cell phones to cheer for the Pacers and 76ers.

Indiana is one of the best states in the country with the best basketball atmosphere, and there are too many talented NBA players from high school leagues here, and the crazy Indiana Championship is the best high school league in the country, and McConley, Greg Oden, and Gordon Hayward are all from this tournament.

Also because of the heat of the high school league, the Pacers have a crazy group of fans on this land.

After the 76ers played, a group of fanatical Indianas in the back row of the arena wore Indiana's unique costumes and let out a strange cry of "woowoowoo", which caused a whistle in the arena.

In terms of atmosphere alone, the Conseco Arena is enough to compare with the Devil's home court of the Jazz team back then.

An Xi walked to the sidelines, tidied up his jersey, and then hugged Paul George and talked a few words.

This was the first meeting between Anxi and Paul George after the All-Star, and the two naturally let out a few cruel words, and then each beckoned their teammates to play.

The 76ers' starting lineup has not changed much, and the current two-game winning streak proves that their tactical run-in is basically in place, and the team's starting lineup will naturally not change much, with point guard McCarvey, scoring guard Anxi, small forward Jack Crowder, power forward Pau Gasol and center Omir Asik.

The Pacers' starting lineup was also unchanged, with twin guards George Hill and Lance Stephenson, small forward Paul George, power forward David West, and center Roy Hibbert.

Turner Sports temporarily adjusted the number of live broadcasts in the United States, making the matchup between the first and third in the East a national broadcast, and sent Reggie Miller and Steve Kerr to narrate the game.

As the greatest star in the history of the Pacers, although he did not leave the team with a single championship trophy, Reggie Miller still relied on his indomitable fighting spirit and tenacious fighting spirit to win the love of Indiana.

However, back at the Conseco Arena, Reggie Miller came as a commentator, and he also behaved very neutrally and fairly, commenting on the starting lineups of the two teams at the beginning, Reggie Miller actually thought that the 76ers had a better chance of winning the game.

"After the 76ers got Pau Gasol and Omir Asik, the team's interior strength has been greatly strengthened, on the contrary, on the Pacers' side, Roy Hibbert's performance this season has been mixed, and David West is old, so in terms of interior, the 76ers have an advantage. ”

In this game, Brett Brown is likely to put on a tactical style of attacking the inside, and the so-called Anxi before the game will make the Pacers shrink the inside, but Frank Vogel should not forget that Anxi is also a top shooter, in fact, it is a smoke bomb, the Pacers want to win, they must shrink the inside, and if the defense is expanded, the Pacers' interior will be collapsed by Anxi's breakthrough, Pau Gasol and Omir Asik's strong attack. ”

Frank Vogel naturally won't be fooled, and the Pacers' defense of the interior is still relatively good in this game.

After the opening jump ball, Asik won the jump ball, McCarvey advanced to the front court with the ball, Anxi ran empty-handed from the baseline, and the Pacers immediately retracted inside, not giving Anxi enough space.

However, Anxi still took the ball, ran out to catch the ball, and how to hold the ball and cut in.

But obviously, Anxi still underestimated the Pacers' determination to wrap him, and after breaking through, he immediately encountered a pack, and after the pack, Anxi immediately chose to pass, the intention of passing the ball was too obvious, and he was directly cut off by Paul George, and gave Anxi a mistake at the beginning.

After the ball was broken, the Pacers directly launched a fast-break counterattack, Paul George and George Hill held the ball quickly, and after the frontcourt split the ball, George Hill made a layup and scored first in the opening game!

After the Pacers launched a fast attack, the Conseco Arena immediately resounded with one cheer after another, one after another, which gradually made the entire Conseco Arena tremble.

After scoring on a fast-break counter-attack, Paul George and George Hill slapped each other and then stood next to Anxi again, with Frank Vogel holding his hands to his chest, and the opening goal basically proved that his defensive setup was effective.

On the 76ers' side, although they were counterattacked by the Pacers at the beginning, they still didn't get impatient, this time it was Anxi who held the ball, and then faced Paul George's outside defense.

Paul George's defense was well done, opening his long arms and blocking in front of An Xi, An Xi made several feints in a row, but the center of gravity of his body did not change much, so Paul George did not move with him, as if he saw through An Xi's feints.

Anxi made a gesture, and Pau Gasol pulled it out to block it.

Anxi slapped the ball violently, and then accelerated to the free throw line, David West quickly took a step sideways, let go of Pau Gasol, surrounded Anxi, and cooperated with Paul George to wrap Anxi dumplings.

Another bag clip!

This time, after Anxi was caught in the bag, the pass was very timely, and the moment Paul George pasted Anxi, Anxi made a quick pass and passed the basketball into the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Jack Crowder, who was in the air, took a big stride and directly received the basketball, and followed his Lance Stephenson's footsteps in confusion, and he was directly thrown away by Jack Leod. Then, I saw Jack Leod facing Roy Hibbert's defense, jumping, twisting his waist in the air and squeezing Roy Hiebert sideways, slamming his arms open, and pouring the basketball into the basket.

Jack Laude made a slam dunk!

Although the fans on the sidelines did not give cheers, the whistles also proved that this dunk was beautiful!

"Jack Crowder's slam dunk! Beautiful! Anxi completed an assist!" Exclaimed Reggie Miller, and then mentioned Anxi. However, the Pacers' strict defense of Anxi has been seen, and in this game, Anxi will encounter unprecedented challenges. ”

On the other side, CCTV, which also broadcast the game live, focused not on the defense suffered by Anxi, but on Jack Crowder's dunk.

"Jack Lauder's dunk is too good, this ball is almost one of the top five balls today, right?"

"Probably, after all, it's a dunk from another person. ”

"I didn't expect Claude's physical fitness to be so exciting......"

In this game, CCTV's two commentators were Sun Zhenping and Xu Jicheng, and the commentaries of the two made the fans in front of the TV helpless, but Tencent Sports did not broadcast the game live, and they could only listen to the commentary of the two veteran commentators.

The 76ers returned a shot to the Pacers, and Jack Clouder's dunk brought the score to a 2-2 draw. (To be continued.) )
