Chapter 19: The Wave of Injuries and Illnesses Strikes (Part 2)

The game entered the second half, and the 25-point lead at halftime had already made this game uninteresting. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are also many fans on the sidelines who have begun to leave, anyway, this game is just an ordinary regular season, as Thunder fans, they don't want to see their team being abused by their opponents, so exiting has become the best option.

However, the first goal of the second half made the fans on the sidelines can't help but cheer loudly from the heart.

The first shot of the third quarter was the 76ers' possession, Anxi held the ball, and Andre Robertson, who was defending him, confronted him from outside the three-point line.

And the other players of the Thunder also leaned towards Anxi's side, there was no way, Anxi's threat on the offensive end was too great.

However, An Xi observed the Thunder's defensive position, and then glanced at the position of the basket, and then had an idea.

He suddenly came to a crotch dribble, and then a fake move with his right hand, but his feet accelerated to the left side, Andre Robertson, who defended Anxi, was the same as Anxi when he first entered the league, focusing on external single defense, but when he really faced the superstar-level outside attack kaleidoscope like Anxi, there was not much way to do it.

After An Xi shook him with a change of direction, in the face of An Xi's subsequent acceleration, Andre Robertson couldn't keep up at all.

The next thing is simple, Anxi rushed all the way to the inside line, but after only two or three steps, he saw Durant on the other side make up for it.

However, at this time, An Xi suddenly jumped up, startling people.

Because Anxi jumped from a considerable distance from the basket, jumping from such a distance, did Anxi want to jump to the basket from a distance?

"It doesn't look like a layup!" The Russian City fans who stayed on the sidelines were surprised to find that Anxi jumped very high, and it didn't look like a layup at all......

In the flash of light, Anxi jumped to the height above the basket, and was extremely close to the basket!

"Slam dunk?!"

Many fans already have an answer in their hearts, but they still find it a little unbelievable, almost jumping from near the free throw line, ignoring the existence of other players of the Thunder, and just like this, they actually want to complete a long-distance dunk in the crowd!

Bang dang!

An Xi smashed the basketball into the hoop fiercely and made a loud noise!

The entire Chesapeake Energy Arena fell silent, and only the 76ers bench was boiling!

"Unbelievable!"

"Incredible! Long-distance slam dunk! Anxi ignored the existence of all the Thunder players, this dunk will inevitably be the first of today's top five balls!

It was this one ball, plus the widening of the 27-point difference, that the Thunder was completely defeated.

In the third quarter, it lasted for about five minutes, and Scott Brooks replaced all the main players, especially the Thunder, after all, Westbrook and Durant had just returned from injury, and there was no hope of winning this game, so Scott Brook no longer insisted, replaced all the main players, and ended the game early.

In the end, the 76ers defeated the Thunder by 118-97, 21 points, and this victory allowed the 76ers to avoid a possible losing streak, and after losing to the Spurs, they won again against the Thunder and started winning again.

In this game, Anxi scored 34 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, and Louis Williams became the 76ers' second scorer in this game, after scoring 12 points in the second quarter, he scored another 11 points in the third quarter from the beginning to the end of the garbage time, plus 5 points in the fourth quarter of complete garbage time, and Louis Williams scored a 28 points in the whole game.

With 28 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in the game, Louis Williams played his best performance since his move to the 76ers.

Channing Fry is the same, three three-pointers in the second quarter allowed him to score 9 points, and in the second two quarters he made 4 more three-pointers, 7 three-pointers in the game, scored 21 points, and also a 20+, the explosion of two role players, plus Anxi, the three of them combined to score 83 points, plus Pau Gasol and Jack Crowder, who scored double-doubles, these five people alone scored more than 100 points.

Therefore, in terms of offense alone, the Thunder's loss is not unjust.

Because, the 76ers really played their best.

A big win, the team's role players also played so well, which made the North American media begin to frantically tout the 76ers, losing to the Spurs became an accident, winning the Thunder became a matter of course, the 76ers are already the most favored team this season, and the spinach company also raised the 76ers' championship odds in a timely manner, and the 18-1 record continues to make the 76ers rank first in the league.

And today's top five balls released that day, Anxi's dunk at the beginning of the third quarter, really became the first of the five best balls.

After the Thunder, the 76ers continued their campaign non-stop, and they rushed back to Philadelphia, back-to-back against the Hawks.

Against Mike Budenholzer's team, Brett Brown made some rotations, but Anxi was not rotated, which was also proposed by Anxi himself.

He uttered a classic line: "I have time to rest after I die, don't let me rest now, I want to play all the games!"

This sentence made Brett Brown laugh all the way, but in the end, he also agreed to Anxi's request and let Anxi play the regular season.

In this game, Bret Brown's rotation was mainly aimed at Louis Williams and Channing Frye, who broke out in the last game, and after the Whirlwind of Death lineup gradually showed its effect, Louwe and Channing Frye became the team's main substitutes and played a lot of games, and in this game Brett Brown simply let them rest and replaced them with another batch of substitute players.

But this rotation, there is something wrong with the rotation......

The first quarter was a bumpy, and the 76ers took the lead, albeit by a small four points.

In the second quarter, because Louis Williams and Channingfrye were not available, Brett Brown changed the rotation lineup, and McCarvey and Pau Gasol partnered to maintain the competitiveness of the second quarter.

As a result, McCarvey was in excellent condition in the second quarter, but he used too much force, and in the process of hitting the basket, he sprained his foot and was directly pushed out by the team's two staff members, and it looked like the situation was not optimistic......

And after the 76ers won this game and won another two-game winning streak, after the game, McCarvey's injury report was also released, with a sprained ankle and a two-week sideline......

There was nothing they could do, and after losing McCarvey at home, the 76ers were back on the road, this time against the Grizzlies in the West.

The Grizzlies are not easy to play, the defense is grinding, and the offense has also improved under the tutelage of Dave Jogle, and the biggest feature of this type of team is that it is easy to upset, especially easy to overcome the strong with weakness.

As a result, in this game, Anxi suffered his first Waterloo this season.

At the beginning, he faced Tony Allen's defense, and Tony Allen's continuous oppressive defense made Anxi feel the pressure for the first time, but in the first quarter, Anxi still played a 4-of-8 shot and scored 10 points.

However, from the second quarter, Anxi felt the rapid loss of physical energy.

On the one hand, during this period of time, Anxi has not rested against strong teams, such a continuous rotation is still very physical, on the other hand, it is thanks to Tony Allen's oppressive and confrontational defense, Tony Allen's defense makes Anxi feel great pressure.

Of course, you can't ignore the two big men on the Grizzlies' interior line, who cooperated with Tony Allen to limit Anxi together.

Anxi shot 5-of-11 in the second quarter, and after scoring another 11 points, his physical fitness was almost exhausted.

So, in the second half, Brett Brown began to rest Anxi, and he asked Pau Gasol to take the substitute to face Gasol's brother Mark Gasol, but the accident happened again in the second half.

In a back-to-back single, after Pau Gasol squeezed away Marc Gasol, he turned around and dunked violently, his feet were unstable, and he directly dunked himself to the neck of the basket, so Pau Gasol was knocked to the ground by the rebound force of the basket's neck.

After falling to the ground, Pau Gasol covered his thigh, and his brother Marc Gasol hurriedly bent down to check on Pau Gasol's condition.

But apparently, the situation was a little bad, and the team doctor, carrying a stretcher, carried Pau Gasol down.

……

The final result was that Anxi was difficult to support alone, and the 76ers lost by 5 points.

And Pau Gasol's injury report was also released after the game, with a thigh root strain that required a month's rest......

And just like that, the regular season entered December, and the first wave of injuries for the 76ers began to erupt.

In the next few days, James Anderson was also injured in training, but fortunately, it was only a minor injury, and Anxi also had back soreness because he played several strong matchups in a row, but fortunately, it did not affect the next game.

The arrival of the injury wave means that Anxi, who can continue to play, needs to take on more responsibilities, and then, they are against the Knights......

Heading into December, the Cavaliers regained their form, playing six games, losing just one, 5-1, and starting to pick up form.

Of course, there are also people who believe that the Knights Big Three have passed the initial run-in period and are beginning to enter the state......

And this game against the 76ers, who encountered a wave of injuries, one side is the state is picking up, the other side is the state is declining, a matchup that is not considered an equal, but it still attracts the attention of the United States and even the world.

"Since the start of the season, the 76ers have shown excellent form, and their current record of 19-2 is still the first in the league, on the other hand, the Cavaliers have not been in good form in the first month, with only an 8-7 record, but after recovering their form in December, they are already 13-8. The 76ers and Cavaliers have obviously become the only two strong teams in the East, and teams such as the Heat have begun to decline after the start of the season. ”

"So the situation in the East from now on, it must be the 76ers and the Cavaliers two tigers fighting, and who of the two is stronger, you can see something from this game......"
