After the first battle, the discussion about the 75 points in the third quarter of Anxi was like a surging river, endless, and like the flooding of the Yellow River, it was out of control.

It's only been a year since last season's finals, and last season, Anxi also single-handedly led the team to win the Spurs in some games, and this season, Anxi, who is more powerful personally, is obviously not something that the Warriors can stop.

So, the fan media began to constantly mock the Warriors of this game.

"Oh my God, what did I see? Jordan's Law? Did Steve Cole burn out his brain?"

"Steve Cole must not have watched last year's Finals, otherwise he would not have used Jordan's rule so impulsively, and last year's Anxi had already proved that he can beat a team alone. ”

"The 76ers won this game very easily, there is no way, there is an undercover Steve Kerr on the other side, does he want to give this O'Brien Cup directly to the 76ers?"

……

And the headline on the front page of ESPN is - "Anxi scored 75 points alone, and the 76ers won the first game of the finals!"

The headline article was written by Bill Simmons, in which he wrote: "In the three rounds of the Western Conference playoffs, Steve Kerr showed his wisdom, and as a rookie head coach, he has done everything he can in the first three rounds of the Western Conference playoffs, and after reaching the Finals, he has an opportunity to make history." ”

"No one knows if Steve Cole suddenly lost his mind, and in the first game of the finals, he suddenly fainted. ”

"The Jordan rule was implemented for Anxi, but in fact, the Spurs proved Anxi's ability to beat a team by himself with a few losses last season, and one or two of those games were even narrated by Steve Kerr himself, could it be that when it came to the finals, he suddenly lost his memory?"

In addition, throughout the game, the Warriors are using different players to defend Anxi, but they don't know that this is also the wrong approach, defending Anxi still needs the kind of physical player who does not suffer a single defense, supplemented by another player who moves faster to assist in defense, such a defense is correct, and throughout the Warriors, the most suitable for frontal defense of Anxi is the substitute Andre Iguodala, if Andre Iguodala can be used to defend Anxi, supplemented by other players to assist in defense, such a defense can really limit Anxi, rather than all kinds of useless changes of defense。 ”

Bill Simmons criticized Steve Kerr, and after the first-game defeat, the Warriors began to self-criticize, identify mistakes, and make timely adjustments.

Steve Cole first admitted his mistake in the first game, completely overturned the tactical play of the first game, abandoned the Jordan rule, and adopted Luke Wharton's suggestion, using Andre Iguodala to defend Anxi alone, and other players to pinch and assist in defense.

After the first game of the finals, Steve Cole no longer dared to relax his defense against Anxi.

So, in the second game of the finals, everything was back on track.

At the Wachovia Arena, the game kicked off, and Anxi once again enjoyed a wrap-and-roll defense from start to finish.

Charles Barkley on the commentary bench lamented: "That's the defensive treatment that a superstar deserves, and Steve Kerr finally realized that. ”

Andre Iguodala Glaklay Thompson's pinch defense, Anxi only then felt a trace of pressure.

Fortunately, the pressure is not too big, in the last game, Anxi scored 75 points, this game, Anxi also changed with the change of the opponent's defensive strategy, and Anxi did not obsess about individual offense at the beginning, but threatened the opponent's defense by holding the ball, and organized more of the team's offense.

In this game, Anxi played more towards the whole.

And the Warriors started the game very well, with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson regaining some touch and making consecutive perimeter shots in the opening game.

The 76ers were not to be outdone, and Anxi also led the 76ers to play an extremely efficient offense.

In the first eight minutes of the game, the two teams played to a 16-16 draw, and Brett Brown called a timeout.

The first eight minutes of the second game surprised many people, and on the 76ers' side, Brett Brown didn't expect that after the wild win in the last game, the Warriors could still find their rhythm and play with the 76ers in the first eight minutes of this game.

On the Warriors' side, Steve Kerr was also a little surprised, he didn't expect that after a solid defense, the team's offense also opened up, and the opening game actually tied with the 76ers.

It looks like it's going to be a good game, and there's every chance of winning this game.

Brett Brown made an adjustment at the first timeout, allowing Anxi to take the ball more and play alone, hoping to use Anxi's individual ability to regain the advantage and take the lead.

This adjustment is very effective, Anxi's personal ability is still very strong, Andre Iguodala has tried his best, but in the face of Anxi's crazy individual singles, Andrea Iguodala was still beaten into a sieve.

In the last 4 minutes of the first quarter, Anxi continued to play high-level singles, using his physical advantage to force Andre Iguodala, and scored 9 points in the last four minutes, stretching the difference to 5 points in one wave.

In this way, the first quarter ended, and the 76ers led the Warriors by 5 points.

The difference of 5 points is not too big, but for the 76ers, they already have the advantage in this game.

Next, in the second quarter, the Warriors entered the stage of chasing points, the disadvantage of 5 points is really not big, and two or three goals can be chased back, but the 76ers are not the kind of team that can let the Warriors chase these two or three goals, as long as the Warriors bring a wave of chasing points, Anxi will immediately stand up, a wave of singles, and directly beat the Warriors back.

Steve Kerr is starting to get impatient again, and this season the Warriors have a small lineup that is the highest scoring in the league, including point guard Stephen Curry, scoring guard Klay Thompson, small forward Andre Iguodala, power forward Harrison Barnes and center Draymond Green.

Therefore, in the third quarter, when the point difference could not be narrowed, Steve Cole waved his hand and directly replaced this lineup to grab points.

With more than 6 minutes left in the third quarter, the Warriors were desperate, and Brett Brown also saw what the Warriors were thinking, and he made a counterpoint adjustment, replacing Pau Gasol with Louis Williams, and Anxi was given unlimited fire.

Brett Brown's idea is simple, use Anxi's individual ability to score, and then use the same small lineup to withstand the impact of the Warriors' score-chasing lineup.

As long as it can withstand the impact of the Warriors, with the current 10-point difference led by the 76ers, this game can be won directly.

……

The game restarted, the Warriors' offense.

Stephen Curry held the ball, got to the front court and handed it directly to Draymond Green.

Draymond Green took the ball and hit it quickly, and it was clear that the Warriors' pace had been played and they began to move the ball quickly.

Anxi's reaction was also very quick, Brett Brown had already made the setup, and the 76ers also started their rotation defense in an instant.

Anxi went directly to Stephen Curry, he knew very well that the biggest offensive threat to the Warriors was actually Stephen Curry, and the entire Warriors only had two scoring points of 20+, one was Stephen Curry and the other was Klay Thompson.

But Klay Thompson has been defended by Anxi for a whole game, and the feeling of this whole game is not good, and now there is Jack Crowder to take over the defense, and the 76ers are still not afraid of Klay Thompson's sudden outburst.

Anxi defends Stephen Curry, and this defense is very solid.

He went straight in front of Stephen Curry and followed Curry at a slower pace than Stephen Curry.

The Warriors' quick pass failed to find a chance at one point, and they had to pass the ball back into Curry's hands, and Stephen Curry took the ball and threw it.

With Stephen Curry's shooting ability, his shot has a high probability of hitting even if it is facing defense.

But...... In the finals, he was against Anxi, Anxi's interference was extremely aggressive, and his height and bounce advantages allowed him to fly directly above Curry, forcing Curry to change his shooting posture and avoid Anxi's interference in a throwing way.

In the end, the ball was unmistakable.

Nolen Snoll takes the basket straight under the basket.

Anxi received the ball and counterattacked, hit three points in the counterattack, and once again widened the difference!

Then, Anxi opened the situation with absolute personal strength, the Warriors' idea of changing to a small lineup was to chase points, but it didn't come to fruition Anxi, in this fast-paced offense and defense, Anxi completely opened up his offensive firepower, and hit consecutive medium and long-distance shots.

In the last five minutes of the third quarter, Anxi scored 11 points, and his personal score in the game came to 47 points.

Three quarters later, the 76ers' lead also came to 20 points......

The game instantly went into garbage time......
