Evan Turner took the bench to the Bulls side of the bench led by Aaron Brooks and Nikola Mirotic, compared with the starters, the Bulls' bench firepower is very sufficient, point guard Aaron Brooks, scoring guard Itovan Moore, small forward Doug McDermott, big forward Nikola Mirotic four have a good three-point, plus center Joaquin Noah is on the court, the Bulls actually played last season's center to respond to the offense, and the play is still good.
After more than four minutes in the second quarter, the Bulls launched a 14-2 offensive wave and led the 76ers by 12 points.
The Bulls' four outside shooters all fired, and the 76ers couldn't even defend themselves with three-point shots, so they were shot into a sieve.
The 76ers' own bench still lacks outside three-point firepower, whether it is point guard Shaun Livingston or small forward Evan Turner, they are not qualified three-point shooters, just like that, the 76ers can only watch the Bulls soar, but their own offense can't be opened.
Brett Brown couldn't sit still and replaced Anxi in advance.
Anxi replaced Evan Turner, and the other positions on the 76ers remain unchanged, which are point guard Shaun Livingston, scoring guard Troy Daniels, small forward Anxi, power forward Channing Frye and center Cole Aldridge.
The game soon restarted with Shaun Livingston receiving the ball from the back and advancing to the front.
On the first ball Anxi came back, he directly asked for a good position in the high post and reached out to ask for the ball.
Sean Livingston didn't hesitate and just stuffed the ball over.
Anxi received the ball and hit it with his back in the high post, and defending him was Itovan Moore, a 3-and-D scoring guard of average strength.
After Anxi's back, a jumper with a back turn dodged Itovan Moore's block, but in the end it was still a little off.
The rebound was picked up by Joakim Noah, and the Bulls still played a high-post strategy at the center, with Itovan Moore and Doug McDermott switching back and forth at the top of the arc to disrupt the 76ers' defensive rhythm.
After Itovan Moore changed positions with a cover, he received the basketball directly from Joaquin Noah, he shook off Troy Daniels, and was about to shoot directly, at this time, An Xi rushed over from the other side, and the head and face were covered with a big hat, and the basketball was fanned.
Anxi's fifth big hat in this game, the hot pot feast continued to be staged.
The basketball was picked up by the 76ers, and Sean Livingston counterattacked with the ball, and after advancing to the frontcourt, he made a ground-hitting pass and assisted Troy Daniels to score a fast-break dunk.
At 32:42, the 76ers trailed by 10 points and the game continued.
The Bulls' offense, Aaron Brooks slowly advanced to the frontcourt, and then handed the basketball to Joakim Noah.
The Bulls continued to grind their positions on the offensive end, but this time, the Bulls' offense was relatively fast, Aaron Brooks received the ball in a screen, and then rushed inside, this time it was Cole Aldridge, who was in time to reach Aaron Brooks.
But in the face of Cole Aldridge's supplemental defense, Aaron Brooks not only did not retreat, but accelerated, taking advantage of the advantage of playing small and big, directly accelerated past Cole Aldridge and rushed into the penalty area.
Just as Aaron Brooks was about to go to the basket, Anxi once again came out of the corner, jumped up, and went straight to the basketball from behind.
Then, at the moment when Aaron Brooks made a layup, An Xi gently rubbed the basketball from behind Brooks, and another hot pot was in his hand......
The basketball changed its original trajectory, directly deviating from the basket, and was picked up by Channing Frye, who was waiting under the basket, and then he threw it directly and passed the basketball to Anxi.
At this time, there was already a roar in the commentary seat: "The sixth hot pot of this game, before the half game is over, Anxi has already won six hot pots!"
On the field, Anxi has already held the ball and went straight to the frontcourt, the Bulls kept retreating, their defense showed its strength at this time, the Bulls defense led by Joaquin Noah returned to the defense in time, Anxi could only slow down the rhythm and slowly advanced to the frontcourt.
Soon, Anxi made a gesture, Cole Aldridge withdrew from the inside, and at the same time brought Joaquin Noah out of the restricted area, and on the other side, Channingfrye has also been in position at the bottom corner three-point line, Nikola Mirotic naturally followed aside, in this way, Cole Aldridge a single block, Anxi accelerated and rushed into the inside, against Joaquin Noah's supplemental defense, another change of direction, directly past Joaquin Noah.
At this time, there was already an empty area in front of him, he could face the basket directly, and no one could stop him.
Of course, when Anxi rushed up a few steps, the Bulls still divided people to make up for Anxi, and Doug McDermott rushed over, but in the face of Anxi's impact, McDermott was a little unstoppable, he pulled Anxi, and Anxi also made a shooting move.
The referee's whistle blew and a foul on Doug McDermott was blown.
Then, Anxi walked to the free throw line and hit both free throws, and the score came to 34:42, and the difference was narrowed to 8 points.
The Bulls then called a timeout.
Tom Thiabodo is a head coach who likes to die CAO's main force, under normal circumstances, his team, the main players have to play for about forty minutes, which can be called a horror, and now, seeing Anxi play, the team's lead has been continuously narrowed, and he immediately replaced the main force.
Jimmy Butler came on to replace Doug McDermott, who didn't do much on the defensive end, and Tajibson came on and replaced Aaron Brooks, adding to the team's interior hardness.
As a result, the lineup on the Bulls court has become point guard Itovan Moore, scoring guard Jimmy Butler, small forward Nikola Mirotic, power forward Tajibson and center Joakim Noah.
Taking advantage of this timeout, the 76ers also made a substitution, Louis Williams came on and replaced Shaun Livingston, and the 76ers immediately became an offensive lineup on the court.
With the timeout over, the game resumed.
The Bulls' offense, Jimmy Butler, who had just been substituted, began to try to play his role on the offensive end, but soon, he was blocked by Anxi.
Anxi defended Jimmy Butler one-on-one, Jimmy Butler's ball-holding attack, but he just dribbled two steps, and when he wanted to break through Anxi, Anxi directly aimed at the opportunity, stretched out his hand, and snapped!
This was his second steal of the game, and compared to the six blocks that have already been made, Anxi has been a strong steal, and this game is a bit less.
But soon, in the next few minutes of the game, Anxi stopped blocking, changed to steals, and made two steals in a row, one to steal Jimmy Butler's breakthrough, and the other was Itovan Moore's pass to Jimmy Butler, and was intercepted by Anxi halfway, and two or three minutes later, Anxi's steal data also came to 4.
Midway through the second quarter, the 76ers narrowed the deficit to within five points, and Tom Thibodo couldn't sit still, called another timeout, and replaced Derrick Rose.
After re-playing, he continued to grasp the defensive shortcomings of the 76ers point guard position, continuous single breakthroughs, and even did not hesitate to lose his old injuries, continuous change of direction breakthroughs, and actually played a wave of 6:0 small climax at the end of the second quarter, and once again stretched the difference to 10 points.
At 52:62, the Bulls won the first half of the game, they scored 62 points themselves, allowing the 76ers to only score 52 points.
After playing the first half of the game, Anxi's evaluation of the Bulls has also changed, he feels that if Derrick Rose can maintain such a performance, this Bulls team will not even be worse than the Cavaliers, because the Bulls' defense is too strong, what is lacking is offense, if Derrick Rose is there in the first half, the Bulls' offense will not have any problems.
In the first half, Anxi scored a 21 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals and 7 blocks, a very comprehensive and luxurious statistic, but the team was still 10 points behind, which means that Anxi did not do enough.
The halftime break ended quickly, the two teams re-played, and the Bulls once again played their main forces, and the 76ers sent a one-and-a-half-main lineup, point guard Ismael Smith, scoring guard Anxi, small forward Jack Crowder, power forward Channing Frye and center Noren Snoll.
The point guard sent Ismael Smith, Brett Brown's idea was also very simple, Derrick Rose was about to go berserk, obviously the 76ers needed to limit him, Anxi needed to defend Jimmy Butler, so his best thing to do was to replace Ismael Smith, who is good at defense, and directly target Derrick Rose.
The ball at the beginning of the second half was in the hands of the Bulls, and Derrick Rose received the ball directly, and after advancing to the frontcourt, he began to attack the 76ers' interior.
Derrick Rose broke inside with the ball, and Ismael Smith's defense was also tenacious, and he followed Rose in a hurry.
Rose broke through two steps, seeing that he had not been able to break through Ismail Smith's pestering defense, he also thought for a second at the moment, he had two options, one was to ignore the old knee injury, and directly force the change of direction to accelerate the pass, but this choice was quickly abandoned by Rose
After a series of major injuries, Rose knew very well that this kind of action that hurt the body was better to do less unless it was necessary.
So, he chose a different way, a one-step stop, and then a jumper.
Ismael Smith defended very well, he saw Derrick Rose stop suddenly, he also braked in time to stop, and then a reflex directly interfered with Derrick Rose's jump shot.
With a bang, Derrick Rose hit a jumper, and An Xi, who happened to be under the basket, picked up the rebound, and a counterattack was immediately launched.
Anxi took the ball and rushed to the frontcourt, the Bulls had three or two defenders back to defend, but Anxi did not stop because of this, he continued to accelerate, rushed straight to the inside, and took advantage of the Bulls' defensive foothold to rush into the restricted area, and against Joaquin Noah's defense was a layup.
Bang, the ball goes in!
2 points in hand, 54:62, the difference was also narrowed to 8 points.
The Bulls' offense, or Derrick Rose held the ball, he rushed to the frontcourt, without any feints, and directly flew a three-pointer, this ball Ismail Smith didn't expect at all, but fortunately, Rose threw a little hastily, the ball didn't go in, and the iron was hit.
Nolan Snoll on the inside protected the rebound, and the 76ers fought back with another wave of fast breaks, rushing to the frontcourt, and Anxi assisted Jack Crowder to dunk it.
Another two-point hand, 56:62, with 6 points left.
In the second half of the game, the 76ers played a series of defensive fast break counterattacks, and then, the Bulls' offense became cautious.
This time, Derrick Rose didn't make any more casual shots, he controlled for a while, broke through again, and seeing that he couldn't get rid of Ismael Smith's defense, he could only use a pass to stuff the ball to Jimmy Butler on the other side.
The Bulls' offense is actually a double turn between Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler, Derrick Rose can't open it, and the ball will naturally go to Jimmy Butler.
Jimmy Butler singled Anxi, time was running out, he directly chose to attack with his back and beat Anxi.
But Anxi's strength is not what Jimmy Butler can do, so, after two strong hits, Jimmy Butler has nothing to do, seeing that there is not enough time, he can only turn around and throw a backward jumper, but fortunately, the position of the shot is within his range, so Jimmy Butler's grasp of this ball is still very large.
Jimmy Butler jumped up, and Anxi jumped up, and in the air, Butler twisted his waist and abdomen, trying to avoid Anxi's block.
But obviously, Jimmy Butler underestimated Anxi's bouncing height, and when he used all his strength to stay in the air, trying to dodge Anxi's cover, Anxi continued to rise, and with a big hand, snap!
A crisp sound sounded in the Wachovia Arena, and then, with a bang, the Wachovia Arena shook.
"The 8th block in a single game! Anxi is crazy! His hot pot feast has been 8 times, and the bulls are almost fed!"
The basketball flew out of the baseline, and the Bulls had the ball, but there was only more than 1 second left in 24 seconds, and time was already insufficient.
The Bulls served from the bottom line, Derrick Rose took a shot after receiving the ball, and with a bang, he didn't score, but instead helped Anxi brush up a rebound.
An Xi, who grabbed the rebound, rushed to the front court and directly hit a three-point shot, and with a bang, the ball went in!
At 59:62, the successful defense of several consecutive rounds, coupled with the subsequent successful counterattack, the 76ers directly narrowed the gap to 3 points, a one-goal gap.
But then, Derrick Rose began to exert his power, his potential is there, but he is restricted by his body, and he always dare not use it, and now with the 76ers' continuous chasing points, Derrick Rose can't stand it anymore, and two consecutive high-speed singles helped the Bulls stabilize the situation.
However, the 76ers still tied the score at the end of the third quarter.
80:80 draw, the two teams played a draw, entering the fourth quarter of the game, which is also the real decisive stage.
