Chapter 220: Three-Minute Glory Bonus

The fourth game of the finals at the Wajovia Arena began, and the main players of both teams were all out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the beginning of the game, Anxi felt that the Spurs were guarding him tightly, and the intensity of the defense was even higher than in the previous game.

As long as Anxi gets the ball, there will be a bag immediately, and if Anxi breaks through strongly, then the Spurs will even use a crazy pinch attack surrounded by three people to stop Anxi.

This is completely a kind of meaning that does not give Anxi any chance to play singles.

However, in the opening game, Anxi ignored this level of defense, constantly taking the ball with his back in the middle distance, and then facing two defenders and making tough step-back jumpers.

It's just that this style of play, compared with the changeable offensive methods of the last battle, is still much lower in terms of offensive efficiency. And the consumption of physical energy is also huge.

So after playing seven or eight minutes in the first quarter, the score continued to be anxious, and Anxi began to increase his passing, and with the Spurs constantly wrapping himself, it was obvious that passing was the better option.

In this way, the game is a bit like the first two games of the Finals, the first two games of the Finals, Anxi just held the ball to attract the pinch, and then passed, but the 76ers lost both games.

In the second quarter, when the Spurs' offense became more and more fierce, Anxi continued to resist the defense and make strong shots, hitting and scoring, and the game was played until the beginning of the third quarter, and the two teams were still tied.

But from the beginning of the third quarter, Anxi left the game to rest, and the Spurs seized the opportunity, a wave of fast attack counterattack, and played a 17:8 at the beginning of the third quarter, which opened the difference in one fell swoop.

In the third quarter, the 76ers suddenly collapsed, although Anxi re-appeared in the middle of the third quarter, but the Spurs' fast break has already played a feeling, and the momentum is a little irresistible. And in this game, the 76ers' outside shooters collectively mismatched, and James Anderson seemed to be completely unable to find a place in the basket.

In this way, Anxi's appearance was also in vain, and Manuginobili's one-point two-point expansion of the difference to 2 points, and then, Anxi also scored, narrowing the difference back to 9 points.

But Danny Green returned a three-pointer in return, and then through the double package, he blocked Anxi's step-back jumper.

Although the score expanded very slowly, by the end of the third quarter, the Spurs still had a 15-point lead.

Then in the fourth quarter, the Spurs took advantage of the weakness of the 76ers to further widen the point difference.

The game was played until four minutes left, and the 76ers were already trailing by 22 points.

Brett Brown brought Anxi back on the court after a two-minute break, hoping to chase down the points, although it looked like the 76ers had no hope of winning the game.

After Anxi came out, he held the ball on the outside, beat Kawhi Leonard with a ball, and after taking the ball with his back, he leaned back and shot.

The basketball crossed a perfect parabola and fell cleanly into the hoop.

"Beautiful goal, the difference is reduced to 20 points!"

"This goal is scored very simply, although it has not affected the result of the game, but in this game, we have to sigh that Anxi seems to have improved again, and his backward jumper looks sharper. ”

Coach Zhang and Yu Jia constantly praised Anxi, no matter whether the 76ers lost this game or not, the last thing that should be criticized in the 76ers team after the game is Anxi.

So far in this game, Anxi has made 33 shots, hit 13 balls, scored 34 points, and his personal score has broken through 30 points.

However, obviously, compared with the previous game, Anxi's efficiency in this game is not so high, and it is even a little low, and the number of shots is also a lot, but the scoring shooting rate is a big difference, and the shooting rate is not even full of forty percent, and the score is also a big difference.

The reason for all this is because of the Spurs' blockade defense of Anxi in this game, they almost didn't leave any room for Anxi to play alone, so it is natural that the efficiency of facing the opponent's double attack and various strong shots is naturally not too high.

Coupled with the 76ers' inaccurate shooting from the outside, it is not surprising that the Spurs led by 20 points in the final stages of this game.

With 3 and a half minutes left in the game, the 76ers played another wave of offense, and Anxi continued to throw backwards, but this time he couldn't hit.

With 34 points on 34 shots, Anxi's efficiency in this game is indeed not good.

Next, the Spurs attacked and scored another 2 points, and the difference expanded to 22 points.

Then, when the 76ers served in the backcourt, McCarvey handed the basketball to Anxi, ready to start another offense.

The game came to the 9th minute of the fourth quarter, that is, there were 3 minutes left until the end of the game.

Anxi had just received the basketball and was about to lean on Kowhi Leonard with his back, and when he was playing singles with his back again, a system that had never appeared in the game suddenly appeared in front of Anxi's eyes.

"Ding! With 3 minutes left in the game and the host trailing by 22 points, do you consume a glory pool and get a 200% attribute bonus for the next 3 minutes?"

Below a prompt, the option of Yes or No appeared, An Xileng for a moment, and then understood, this may be one of the many ways to use the glory pool, but the last 3 minutes have a 200% attribute bonus...... An Xi hesitated for a while, and finally chose No.

There are 3 minutes left in the game, according to 16 seconds of an offensive round, there are up to 12 offensive rounds, divided into two teams, each team is 6 times, even if these 6 offenses, Anxi shoots all three points, and every shot must be scored, it is only 18 points, even if the Spurs can't score a point in the next three minutes, as long as the Spurs honestly drag out the offensive time, the 76ers will not be able to get back the 22-point behind.

Therefore, Anxi chose No. sensibly.

As a result, the 76ers eventually lost the game, there is no doubt about it, trailing by 22 points in the final 3 minutes, and unless there is a miracle, it is impossible to complete the comeback.

119:102, the Spurs finally won the game by 17 points, and in the last 3 minutes, the 76ers recovered 5 points, but this did not affect the Spurs' victory, and Anxi shot twice in the last three minutes, both hits, and the personal data of this game was also frozen, 36 shots in 15, and the shooting percentage brushed back to more than 4 percent at the last moment, cutting 38 points, another high score, although the efficiency is not high, but combined with the first three games.

Someone exclaimed: Anxi is staging the most powerful solo performance in the history of the finals!

43 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks in the first game, 34 points, 5 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks in the second game, 64 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks in the third game, plus 38 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block in this game, in the first four games of the finals, no matter whether he wins or loses, Anxi can average 44.75 points, 4.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 3.0 steals and 1.75 blocks per game, which is completely phenomenal data.

But helplessly, the 76ers were already 1:3 behind in the big score of the finals.

At the end of the game, McCarvey looked a little depressed, throughout the playoffs, his performance was rarely bright, and when it came to the finals, he didn't even play well, and in the four games of the finals, McCarvey's shooting rate was only 34.5%, which was very bleak.

At the end of the game, the Wachovia Arena booed everywhere, McCarvey lowered his head, obviously, he began to blame himself, McCarvey performed well in the regular season, and was once the second leader of the 76ers at the beginning of the season, even if Pau Gasol joined later, he was also the third offensive option in the 76ers, but in the playoffs, in some games, McCarvey was even worse on the offensive end than James Anderson on the bench.

Not to mention on the defensive end, Tony Parker often plays a good play of one step past McCarvey throws or pull-up jump shots, which is like a big hole on the defensive end.

Frustrated, McCarvey fell into complete self-reproach, and Anxi walked over and patted him on the shoulder.

"Michael, we haven't lost yet, pick yourself up and play the next game. ”

McCarvey listened to Anxi's reassurance, and he nodded.

……

The 76ers lost Game 4, and the loss of this game meant that the Spurs got the match point in the Finals, and they were only one game away from winning the O'Brien Cup.

"The 76ers are losing at home, and the Spurs are in sight of a third consecutive championship!"

"Anxi is difficult to support alone, and the Spurs are in sight of winning the championship!"

"Team basketball wins, and there is no future in going it alone!"

……

After the game, the media began to report on the results of the fourth game of the finals, without exception, after the Spurs won another game to get the match point, the wind direction of the media reporters changed, after all, the Spurs are only one win away from winning the O'Brien Cup, and in the history of the finals 3:1 lead, there has never been a comeback.

So, after this game, the well-known spinach company BPI gave the latest Spurs 76ers championship probability.

At the beginning of the series, BPI thought the Spurs had a 60% chance of winning the championship and the 76ers had a 40% chance of winning the title.

After the first two games, the Spurs' chances of winning the championship soared to 80%, and the 76ers were only 20%.

Then, the 76ers won the third game, and the Spurs' chances of winning the championship fell back to 60%, while the 76ers' chances of winning the championship naturally became 40%.

Now, after the Spurs won Game 4 and led the series 3-1, BPI believes that the Spurs have a 97% chance of winning the championship, that is, they believe that the Spurs have a 97% chance of defending the title, while the 76ers have only a 3% chance of turning the tables.

Even such a probability was ridiculed by ESPN, ESPN expert Henry Abbott jumped out again, he believed: "BPI is too high to look at the 76ers, there is no example of a successful 1:3 turnaround in the history of the finals, and the 76ers obviously can't do this, so I think the reasonable probability should be that the Spurs win the championship 99.9%, and the 76ers 0.01% turn the tables, and the probability of a comeback is negligible." ”

And the three games left in the finals, BPI believes that the chance of the 76ers winning in the fifth game is only 2%, the probability of winning the sixth game is even higher, reaching 8%, and the probability of the 76ers winning in the seventh game is a little lower, only 7%, all in all, after losing the fourth game of the finals, no one is optimistic about the 76ers.

And BPI's prediction of the next three possible games was once again ridiculed by Henry Abbott.

"Don't be funny, there are three games left in the Finals? Obviously, there is only one game left! Does anyone still think that the 76ers can win on the Spurs' home court? Don't be naïve! The probability of the 76ers winning in the fifth game is 0.01%, and it can't be more!"

After the 76ers lost Game 4, Henry Abbott acted like a spur of the moment, constantly mocking the 76ers on his social networking sites.

But this kind of ridicule is very unpleasant, because no matter how the 76ers lose, at least the 76ers can reach the Finals, which is already a success.

So many 76ers fans scolded under Henry Abbott's social networking sites, and some neutral fans also persuaded Henry Abbott not to laugh at the 76ers so much under various tweets sent by Henry Abbott.

But Henry Abbott obviously didn't mean to stop, he looked at his reply on Twitter, and tweeted again: "The 76ers are a loser, they were abused by the Spurs, why can't I laugh at them?

"Are you all the kind of fans who only look at the data? Indeed, Anxi's data is beautiful, but if you can't win the ball, what's the use?"

……

Scarlett had just finished her work, and half-lying on the couch began to scroll through Twitter, and after a while, she pulled out her second phone, logged on to a small Twitter, and quickly flipped through it.

"Is this Henry Abbott! is he-?" Scarlett couldn't help but be furious when he saw Henry Abbott's various tweets.

Hurriedly tweeted: "Henry Abbott, dare to bet with me? $500,000, in the next game, I bet on the 76ers to win!"

Scarlett went straight to Henry Abbott and waited for a reply.

Naturally, Henry Abbott ignored the request for a bet on Twitter that didn't seem to have many followers, so Scarlett waited for a while, but still didn't wait for the result.

Scarlett was a little angry, she probably guessed the reason, and in a fit of anger, she opened her tuba, and then, directly found her trumpet, and forwarded it......

After the tuba was forwarded, the popularity suddenly went up.

There were also a large number of fans to help Aite Henry Abbott, issuing various provocative words: "Henry Abbott, are you cowardly?"

"Don't even dare to take the $500,000 bet, it seems that you are just a keyboard warrior!"

Henry Albert looked at so many provocative words, he was also a little unconvinced, 500,000 US dollars, his salary for half a year, he can still get this money!

And after thinking about it carefully, Henry Abbott really couldn't think of what the 76ers could rely on to win the next game.

So, Henry Abbott replied to Scarlett's tweet and agreed to bet!

……

Scarlett is full of confidence, she believes in Anxi, and believes that the 76ers will not fall like this.

But for the 76ers, a home game loss that gave the Spurs a match point meant they had to make more changes......

For the next game, Anxi also thought a lot, he felt that he could accept that the team was behind in the fourth quarter, but the difference between the points behind should not be too big, Anxi had already put the idea on the two glory pools, three minutes of glory pool bonus, if it was a dozen points behind, he was still confident to catch up, and turn defeat into victory!

Meanwhile, Scarlett has reached an agreement with Henry Abbott to show up at the ATT arena on the day of Game 5 of the Grand Finals, watch the game, and cash in on his bet.

At this time, there was a lot of speculation about Scarlett's identity.

Who is this Anxi hardcore who can make a $500,000 reinvestment? )
