On October 30, 2013, U.S. time, the 76ers' regular season debut was held at the Wachovia Center Arena, and Philadelphia fans showed up on the sidelines of the arena with great enthusiasm, and the 20,444 seats were full. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Heat finished their game yesterday as they beat the Bulls, who still didn't have Derrick Rose, to claim their first win of the new season.
In the game to Philadelphia, although it was back-to-back, Heat head coach David Fitzdale was still full of confidence, and in the pre-game interview, David Fizdale said that they had already won the victory.
After all, the strength of the 76ers is not strong, and there are many arguments about the 76ers in the outside world, but on the whole, the evaluation of the 76ers has not reached the point of being a strong team, and they are basically bad teams, and the Heat is now a first-class strong team in the league.
Before the start of the game, Anxi also accepted an interview with the media, and responded to the questions asked by reporters: "Do you feel about facing the Heat for the first time after the finals?"
An Xi thought for a moment and said in an astonishing voice: "I'm surprised that David Fitzdale didn't get out of class." ”
So, the reporters who interviewed Anxi were in an uproar, and they couldn't care about asking Anxi other questions at the moment, David Fitzdale actually didn't get out of class? Although it seems that this sentence has nothing to do with this game, the reporters keenly discovered that Anxi's words are actually contempt for the Heat, and a defeated head coach actually dares to say that he has taken the victory into his arms, and Anxi is naturally going to fight back fiercely.
But in fact, Anxi didn't fight back, he was indeed a little curious about why David Fitzdale didn't get out of class after losing the finals.
In fact, what An Xi didn't know was that Pat Riley was ready to go into battle in person, but LeBron James saved David Fitzdale, obviously LeBron James also understood that once Pat Riley played in person, his life would not be as good as it is now, and the God Operator was not so easy to deal with.
Anxi's response to David Fitzdale can only be regarded as a small episode before the game, although the media also relayed David Fitzdale, David Fitzdale also responded, he believes that Anxi is just taking advantage of his tongue, but the game is about to start, this sentence can obviously only be put aside for the time being, and it can be left until after the game, if the Heat lose, then for these media reporters, Anxi's riposte can come in handy.
In the home dressing room before the game, Brett Brown announced his starting line-up for the game, and McCarvey was in the starting line-up, and he breathed a sigh of relief before a smile on his face.
Turner Sports broadcast the game, with Steve Cole and Reggie Miller partnering to narrate the game.
Before the start of the game, Steve Kerr had already got the starting list for this game, and McCarvey on the 76ers' side walked into the starting lineup, and the other positions did not change, while the Heat there, starting point guard Mario Chalmers, scoring guard Dwyane Wade, small forward LeBron James, power forward Luke Richard Bamot, and center Chris Posh.
After taking a look at the lineup, Steve Kerr said with a smile: "The 76ers' starters are actually Michael Carter Williams, a rookie who can't shoot, Reggie, how many points do you think the Heat will win in this game?"
Reggie Miller shook his head: "Steve, the game hasn't started yet, and the Heat won't necessarily win." ”
"Oh, why?" said Steve Cole, surprised.
Reggie Miller explained with a smile: "First of all, the Heat just finished a tough game last night, they defeated the Bulls, but they also consumed a lot of physical strength, and secondly, the strength of the 76ers is not bad, they have the Heat killer Anxi, and last season's finals didn't Anxi kill the Heat alone, didn't it?"
Steve Kerr nodded: "Maybe, both sides have chances in this game, but it's clear that the Heat have more chances." ”
This time, Reggie Miller also nodded: "Yes, the Heat have a better chance of winning, but I have a hunch that there will be a lot of unexpected things in this game, and it will also help us solve a lot of puzzles, such as how strong the 76ers are......"
What is Reggie Miller's trailer, Steve Kerr is still discussing with Reggie Miller, and on the court, the 76ers and the Heat are ready for the start of the game, a cheer rang out on the sidelines of the Wajovia Arena, and some fans raised cheering cards with Anxi's avatar, plus the crowds of fans wearing No. 7 jerseys on the sidelines, Anxi's Philadelphia is already visible.
When he came out, Anxi high-fived all his teammates, and then patted McCarvey on the shoulder, in fact, Anxi knew very well that in this game, winning or losing is not very important, what matters is McCarvey's performance, as long as McCarvey can show the performance in the training game, no matter whether the 76ers win or lose, they can break free from the storm of public opinion.
Players from both sides took to the pitch as Spencer Hoyse and Chris Bosh battled for the ball.
The referee blew the whistle, the basketball flew high, Chris Bosh won the jump ball, and the game officially began.
LeBron James kept controlling the ball outside the three-point line, and Evan Turner kept reaching out to interfere with James outside the three-point line, but James's desire to attack was very strong, and in the first shot of the opening game, he directly pushed Evan Turner, resisted Turner's defense, rushed inside, and completed the layup cleanly.
With two points, the Heat looked very good.
The 76ers served in the backcourt, and McCarvey firmly controlled the ball to the frontcourt, looking quite a general.
However, McCarvey's poor performance in the preseason was so ingrained that there was a burst of boos from the sidelines of Vajovia until Anxi circled to the top of the arc and took over the basketball.
It is Luke Richard Bamot who defends Anxi, and the player that LeBron James asked to introduce is not a 3D, because he does not have 3 but D, and the defense is very strong, but the offense is equal to nothing, so David Fitzdale asked Bamot to play the No. 4 position and defend Anxi.
The Heat have professional defensive players, but this ball, Anxi still played very resolutely.
Anxi took a step outside the three-second zone to dribble the ball, retreated and turned, then dribbled with his right hand to his left hand, turned his head to look at his left side, at this time, Anxi has completely attracted the Heat's defensive center of gravity, although there is no bag, but everyone's eyes are on Anxi.
McCarvey took an arrow step, passed through the left side of Anxi, shook off Mario Chalmers, who was focused on Anxi, and rushed into the penalty area!
At the same time, Anxi made a ground-hitting pass and caught up with McCarvey, who received the ball and jumped up directly to dunk, with a bang, and an explosive sound sounded in the Heat's restricted area.
Then, with a bang, Vachovia let out an exclamation, and the 76ers fans hadn't reacted yet, but when they reacted, they didn't cheer, because they couldn't believe it until now, such a beautiful air-cut dunk was actually completed by McCarvey and Anxi together!
"Michael Carter Williams made a beautiful air-cut dunk! Great! worthy of Carter Williams!" The DJ at the scene couldn't care so much, he directly raised his voice and shouted, and the scene finally cooperated with a burst of cheers.
McCarvey looked excited, this goal meant a lot to him, and he jumped forward and bumped his chest with Anxi, who assisted him, in celebration, and then raised his hand to the sidelines.
A few fans were infected by McCarvey and seemed to have forgotten that McCarvey was the parallel rookie they were squirting in the preseason.
As one fan put it: "At the end of the day, Michael is also our player, isn't he? ”
An air-cut dunk helped McCarvey conquer some of the fans who had sprayed him, while Steve Kerr in the commentary box kept saying one word - "Actually!"
"Michael Carter Williams actually made an air-cut dunk and he actually scored 2 points in the opening game, isn't his offense terrible?" Steve Kerr looked incredulous, obviously, he couldn't believe that this was McCarvey, who had been criticized as the biggest parallel commodity of the century before the game.
Steve Kerr hadn't watched McCarvey much of the game, and now, McCarvey showed a sense of generalism from ball control to key air cuts to dunks.
"How can such a rookie still water?" Steve Cole was a little puzzled, and he decided to keep watching. (To be continued.) )
