Chapter 177: The Great Shift
The Heat's first offense is unfavorable, but now the Heat's focus is on fast offense, and they don't pay much attention to positional battles, so it doesn't matter if they fail to score, now let's take a look at the Heat's defense. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The Heat's quick counterattack was built on their excellent defense, and in this game, Chris Anderson returned to the starting lineup, and they naturally continued the defensive strategy of the previous games, implementing strict defense against Anxi.
The 76ers quickly advanced to the frontcourt, and they also played a quick counterattack in this game, but the first attack in the opening game, although they prevented the Heat's offense, but the quick counterattack was not able to play, and after the Heat's rapid retreat, the 76ers could only slow down the rhythm.
McCarvey controlled the ball outside the three-point line, and Anxi was defended by LeBron James.
However, Anxi's desire to attack was extremely strong in the beginning, and he knew that if he wanted to win this game, he had to stand up at the beginning of the game.
Therefore, Anxi went around from the inside line and directly opened his hand to ask for the ball.
McCarvey didn't hesitate, since the team's offense entered a positional battle, giving the ball to Anxi was also a good choice, so McCarvey quickly passed the basketball to Anxi.
The moment Anxi received the ball, not only LeBron James forced the defense, but other Heat players near Anxi also began to move towards Anxi, although they did not directly wrap up, but the meaning was also obvious, as long as Anxi moved, there would be Heat players on both sides immediately.
Obviously, the Heat are leaving no stone unturned in their defense against Anxi.
But the Anxi of this game is obviously not the Anxi of the previous games, and under the bonus of the glory pool, Anxi is unstoppable!
In the face of LeBron James's defense, Anxi did not hesitate, he directly dribbled under his crotch, and then accelerated to break through.
Dwayne Wade immediately wrapped up, rushed to Anxi, and formed an encirclement with LeBron James from two directions.
As expected, Anxi's breakthrough was heavily defended by Miamians. ”
Charles Barkley calmly described the situation on the field, and it was clear that he thought Anxi was going to pass the ball next.
But at the moment when An Xi and Wade made contact, An Xi suddenly dribbled the ball with a snap, and when everyone didn't expect it, he took a step back, and then quickly pulled up a shot from one step away.
"Step-back jumper!"
Wade and James were stunned for a moment, and then they pounced on Anxi in surprise, but they were a step late, and Anxi's step-back jumper had already been shot.
Bang, the ball goes in!
2:00!76ers opened the scoring.
David Fitzdale, who was standing on the sidelines, was stunned for a moment, and then he was very surprised, and stepped back to shoot a jumper? He never seemed to have seen An Xi use this trick, but now An Xi used it unexpectedly, and he caught the Heat off guard.
Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley on the commentary bench were not as surprised as David Fitzdale, who often commented on the 76ers game, they knew that Anxi still used the step-back jumper, and occasionally watched Anxi use it once, and this time, they also thought it was Anxi's occasional use.
So they didn't find it strange.
But soon, the Heat attacked the frontcourt, because they failed to defend the 76ers, their fast break still didn't come out, and they could only enter the positional battle, and after LeBron James controlled the ball for a while, he handed the ball to Wade.
Wade accelerated to break through, and finally made a mid-range shot against Jack Crowder's defense, but still didn't score.
Pau Gasol protected the rebound, and the 76ers immediately began to fight back quickly.
This time, Anxi took the lead and rushed to the front.
McCarvey asked for a basketball from Pau Gasol, and also rushed to the frontcourt, and after rushing to the frontcourt, the frontcourt formed a 2-on-2, Anxi and McCarvey faced Mario Chalmers and LeBron James, while the Heat and other players of the 76ers also rushed behind him.
Time waits for no one, Anxi faces LeBron James' defense and directly opens his hand to ask for the ball.
McCarvey didn't waste any time, passing the ball directly to Anxi, and then ran to the other side, pulling away Mario Chalmers' defense.
Anxi faced LeBron James's defense, and then, still an acceleration, after rushing a step, suddenly took another step back and made a jumper.
"Huh!"
A crisp sound of wiping the net, Anxi's jump shot hit again! This ball is even more surprising, not only a step-back jumper, but this ball is actually after an emergency stop, suddenly a step-back jumper, LeBron James was shaken clean by Anxi's feint, and he couldn't react at all.
Anxi hit two goals in a row, and both balls were step-back jumpers, but this ball was a fast-break counterattack, and the goal was a matter of course, and no one would wonder anything, although this ball Anxi played very beautifully, and a series of actions were very coherent and done in one go.
At 4:0, the game continued.
The Heat advanced to the frontcourt, and LeBron James held the ball to face Anxi's defense.
James tried to force Anxi, but as soon as he accelerated and rushed a step, he was unceremoniously blocked back by Anxi.
LeBron James frowned, and when the breakthrough failed, he could only pass the ball.
Relying on Anxi, LeBron James was ready to pass the ball to Wade, who rushed out from the other side, and handed it to Wade to end the ball.
But as soon as his pass was shot, there was a crisp snap, and Anxi jumped out and broke the ball directly!
But Anxi couldn't hold the ball, the basketball rolled on the floor, he had to chase the basketball, James also hurriedly followed, but the other players of the Heat retreated to the basket in time.
Therefore, when Anxi grabbed the basketball, the Heat had already retreated in time, and the 76ers' fast break was not completed.
Anxi was not in a hurry, the outside line stabilized the rhythm, and beckoned Gasol to block and dismantle him.
Then Anxi took a step to accelerate, grazing Gasol's shoulder and rushing to the inside.
The Heat's defense seems to have caught Anxi alone, Bosh blocked Anxi after moving sideways, and LeBron James also tried to bypass the cover and trap Anxi, so that the Heat would miss Gasol.
But the Heat don't seem to care about Gasol at all, they just want to lock Anxi.
Pau Gasol immediately dismantled it after blocking it, but when he opened it and turned his head to ask for the ball, he found that Anxi had jumped high and made a move outside the three-point line.
At this time, there was already an exclamation in the commentary seat, even LeBron James was standing behind An Xi, stunned.
"Anxi and Pau Gasol's blocking and dismantling cooperation, the Heat chose to surround Anxi, Anxi is about to pass the ball......" One second ago, Craig Sager's commentary was still bland, but the next second, he was like Charles Barkley at the beginning of the game, exclaiming: "Oh no, Anxi has stepped back and made a jumper again! This time it's three points!"
"Huh!"
Another crisp sound of wiping the net, An Xi stepped back and hit the jump shot again!
"What happened here? Anxi made three consecutive step-back jumpers!All hits!The Heat seemed completely defenseless of Anxi's step-back jumpers!" Craig Sager opened his mouth in surprise as he looked at the 7-0 score on the scoreboard.
"It's normal to be defenseless, the step-back jumper has never been Anxi's regular way to score, and the Heat were obviously caught off guard by Anxi, but after three shots in a row, the Heat must have been prepared......"
Charles Barkley explains.
However, more discussions began on the commentary bench, when did Anxi's step-back jumper become so strong, and why did Anxi use a step-back jumper in a row in this game......
On the court, after the Heat were beaten 7-0 by the 76ers, David Fitzdale called a timeout.
"LeBron, you have to pay attention to Ann's step-back jumper and don't give him another chance. After a pause, David Fitzdale first reminded LeBron James.
James nodded in understanding.
For the Heat, the opening was beaten 7:0 by the 76ers, such a bad start, before that, the outside world was unanimously optimistic about the Heat, and the Heat was also quite confident, it seemed that the victory of the game was none other than the Heat, but at the beginning of this game, Anxi used three consecutive step-back jumpers to give the Heat a heavy blow.
"We've got to get serious, we've got to win this game, give your 200 per cent attention, don't underestimate the enemy anymore. ”
Anxi's step-back jumper didn't attract much attention from the Heat, they just felt that Anxi's step-back jumper was something they didn't expect, and if they had been prepared, Anxi wouldn't have been able to hit it at all.
It's just a step-back jumper, not so magical.
Wanting to turn the series around with a step-back jumper, Anxi is obviously thinking too much...... (To be continued.) )
