Chapter Eighty-Four: Continue to Sweep
In the next two road games, the 76ers did not win any more honors, and the Most Improved Player award was won by Jimmy Butler, so the 76ers watched a Bulls celebration at the Union Center. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But then the main game began, and Bulls fans once again had to feel despair.
As soon as the game started, Anxi started to play singles, and Jimmy Butler went up to Anxi and was under pressure from Anxi.
In the first goal of the opening game, Anxi hit with his back in a high position, turned around to throw, and clicked on Jimmy Butler, after adjustment, Lin Xing took a step sideways and hit the shot.
2:0。
Then, Jimmy Butler took the ball and pushed it directly to the front court to force Anxi's defense.
But obviously, Jimmy Butler thought too much, and the continuous feints never broke through Anxi's defense, and the final strong shot was slapped by Anxi.
An excited roar sounded from the commentary seat: "Beautiful! Jimmy Butler was completely eaten to death by Anxi, this is a crushing of personal strength, the bull has no way, and Jimmy Butler has no way!"
The basketball flies off the sideline, and the Bulls have the ball.
Jimmy Butler didn't dare to try to attack anymore, and the ball came out and ended up in Derrick Rose, who missed the ball and Nolan Snoll protected the rebound.
Then, with a flick of the ball, Anxi got the basketball and launched a fast attack.
Anxi rushed to the front court, no one could stop him, and it was a strong burst that took advantage of the opponent's lack of defense in place, burst into the basket, and hit a violent dunk, 4:0!
After 4:0, the Bulls were still difficult to score, and Anxi tried his best to prevent another wave of Bulls' attacks.
Immediately afterwards, it was still the same old routine, a fast attack, Anxi hit a three-point shot, 7:0.
The Bulls started to get anxious, and Tom Thibodo stood on the sidelines, shouting for the team to play as hard as they could.
But the 76ers strengthened their defensive intensity, and Anxi switched to assisting in the defense, and hit the Bulls by surprise.
As a result, the Bulls' attack did not score again, and Anxi continued to exert his power, this time it was a breakthrough to attract three people, and after the ball, he assisted Jack Crowder to hit a three-point shot, 9:0.
The Bulls' offense continued to miss.
An Xi also continued to score, another low-post single, turned and scored 2 points for a layup, 11:0.
At the beginning, the 76ers beat the Bulls 15:0, and directly broke the Bulls, no one thought that the Bulls were so fragile, they were still receiving the award just now, and then they were defeated by the 76ers led by An Xi.
After 15:0, the Bulls can no longer set off any wave of counterattacks, after all, there are too many behindrs in the opening, and it is too difficult to chase points in front of such a strong 76ers.
In the end, Anxi scored 22 points in the first quarter and led the 76ers to play the game in the first quarter, 37:16, the 76ers led by 21 points in the first quarter, and the Bulls had no power to fight back, 3:0 in sight.
In the second quarter, the 76ers continued to work hard, leading by as many as 37 points at halftime, and the suspense of the game was completely gone.
The Bulls fans at the Union Center began to leave the court after halftime.
Therefore, Charles Barkley in the commentary box teased: "Eastern Conference semifinals point game, after halftime, the game is over, this is probably the fastest game I've ever seen, Kenny, can we get off work?"
Kenny Smith also smiled: "Charles, isn't it too early to leave work? Why don't we play a few rounds? After all, it's the same for whoever is replaced." ”
In the second half of the game, the Bulls were powerless to resist, and Anxi also left the game early, his data was fixed at 33 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, which was a statistic he won in the small half of the game, and the data is still very beautiful.
This had to make Charles Barkley exclaim: "The current Anxi is too strong, in terms of pure strength, he is already stronger than Michael Jordan, maybe the hearts of Bulls fans are very complicated at this time, there is another Michael Jordan in the league, or even a stronger Michael Jordan, but this Michael Jordan does not belong to the Bulls, and the era of the Bulls is long over." ”
At the end of the game, the 76ers won one more victory, 3:0, and the 76ers were only one win away from two consecutive series of sweeps.
The third game between the Cavaliers and the Hawks also started on the second day, and in this game, the Cavaliers who found their form did not give the Hawks any chance, leading by 20 points in the fourth quarter of the game, and won the game cleanly.
After four quarters of fierce battle, the Warriors finally won the Grizzlies by 2 points.
The Clippers also played well, leading by 24 points in the third quarter and eventually winning 124-99 against the Rockets.
After the other three games, the Cavaliers 2:1 Hawks, Warriors 2:1 Grizzlies, and Clippers 2:1 Rockets.
Two days later, the fourth game between the 76ers and the Bulls started, and the 76ers still didn't give the Bulls any chance in this game.
After another victory, the 76ers swept their opponents again in four games!
Sweeping their opponents in two consecutive series, the 76ers' strength this season has been unmistakable, and they are determined to win the championship, and if there are no surprises, two consecutive championships look fine.
Of course, there are also those who expect other teams to pose some threat to the 76ers.
For example, the Cavaliers, LeBron James returned to the Cavaliers, so he has a group of younger teammates, and the strength is stronger than the Heat, although many people are not optimistic that the Cavaliers can beat the 76ers, but no matter how you look at it, the only one in the East who has the best chance to beat the 76ers is the Cavaliers.
Whether the Cavaliers have a chance or not, many people don't know, but the Cavaliers' Eastern Conference semifinals are very tough.
After 2:1, in Atlanta, the Cavaliers lost one more game, and after four games, the two teams actually played to a 2:2 draw.
In the West, the Warriors played well, although it was difficult, but on the road, they won another game with a 10-point advantage and won the match point 3:1.
The Clippers also performed well, winning another big 128-95 away game, and it seems that the Rockets are no match for the Clippers at all, with two big wins in a row, and it is not far from Chris Paul to realize his dream of the Western Conference finals.
The 76ers, who swept the opponent early, began to wait and see the changes in the other three groups of matchups, the Cavaliers will undoubtedly be the strongest opponent in the 76ers East, but judging from the performance of the Cavaliers' struggle in the Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cavaliers will only be a small stumbling block on the way for the 76ers to advance to the finals, and will not have much impact on the 76ers.
On the Western side, the Warriors performed well, facing a strong opponent like the Grizzlies, they were able to get three wins and win the match point 3:1, which shows the strength of the Warriors.
The Clippers also played well, winning two big games in a row, and it seems that the momentum is even stronger than the Warriors, and among the eight teams in the second round, the state is only worse than the 76ers, and if they can play all the way to the end, they will be the biggest opponents of the 76ers.
