On the court, the game continued, and the 76ers attacked. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Pau Gasol took the ball high, Anxi circled from the sideline, went around to the high post, and with a hand-to-hand cooperation at the top of the arc, Anxi dodged Patrick Beverley's entanglement and hit the inside.

In terms of rockets, Motai Yunas immediately changed defenses and kept up with Anxi, but at this time Anxi had formed a situation of small fighting big, and in the face of Motai Yunas's defense, Anxi accelerated with a simple and easy change of direction, and directly passed Motai.

Rushed into the penalty area and slammed it into the hands.

5:2, the 76ers fans at home cheered, but the Rockets didn't care too much about Anxi's violent dunk, but quickly served in the backcourt, with James Harden taking the ball, and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

The core of the Rockets' lineup is James Harden, the head coach is the chicken soup coach Kevin McHale, who has nothing, and the general manager is Darryl Morey, who is often complained about by domestic fans.

What many people don't know is that Morey has a magic ball theory, derived from the famous American reportage writer Michael Lewis, which involves all aspects of a sports team's trading, operation and tactical play.

In terms of tactics, it is to despise defense, completely ignore the mid-range shot, and pay attention to three-point shooting on the offensive end, requiring players to either finish the offense close to the basket or end the offense with three-point approach, so the Rockets didn't take the 76ers' goal to heart at all, and then focused on attacking with the ball.

James Harden rushed to the frontcourt and hit the 76ers with a time difference, and he directly hit a three-pointer.

Boom!

The court was quiet as James Harden turned around and began to celebrate the three-pointer, holding it in one hand and sprinkling something like salt in the other.

Jack Leud was angry because he knew the meaning of Harden's celebration, and Harden had said in front of reporters before that the meaning of this celebration was: The guy who defended me on the other side was a rookie, and you need to cook him.

To put it in an easy-to-understand way, it is: change someone to prevent me!

An Xi stood aside, he had to admit that on the offensive end, James Harden's offensive talent is still very strong, all kinds of European steps, three-point and weird fouls, and the passing is also very good, perhaps at this stage, James Harden's only problem is his defense.

Therefore, Anxi turned around and gave the ball to Jack Crowder on the offensive end, giving Jack Crowder a chance to play an answerball.

After more than half a season's progress, Jack Crowder has also begun to have a few singles skills, among which the most powerful emergency stop and retreat jumper is already a relatively accurate one, this ball Jack Crowder also used this trick, after the emergency stop, the step back jumper, James Harden was completely shaken away, and the basketball bounced into the basket with a bang!

Jack Leod returned the ball, and he waved his long arms excitedly, and even threw up the long tail pigtails at the back of his head.

The 76ers fans screamed and cheered, and fans wearing the 76ers' No. 99 jersey kept showing their numbers on their chests on the sidelines.

Then, on the Rockets' offense, Jack Crowder made a ruthless attempt to defend James Harden, but Harden rushed into the interior and made a foul.

Jack Crowder's anger was bad again, especially after Harden stepped to the free throw line and hit both free throws.

But Anxi can't continue to give the ball to Jack Crowder, he still has to ensure his scoring and offense, so in the next round, the 76ers' offense, Anxi once again took the ball in the high post.

It was still Patrick Beverley who was defending him, and Anxi didn't think about it, and started to play with his back again.

This kind of crushing in power is naturally unstoppable by Beverley, so the rocket chose to wrap the clamp for the first time.

But it was impossible for Anxi to pass the ball again, so before Trevo Ariza arrived, Anxi turned over and made a jumper, and with a bang, the second two points were scored!

In the next few rounds, the two teams had contacts with each other, and there were also a few iron strikes, and Anxi made various strong hits, but in the face of the Rocket's tight defense, Anxi still chose to pass the ball more.

The Rockets' tactics ignore defense, but they can't stand up to Patrick Beverley, Trevor Ariza and Dwight Howard, who are single-defense strongmen, and Cory Brewer and Josh Smith on the bench are also single-defense strong, relying on individual defense, the Rockets still do a good job of limiting Anxi.

Halfway through the first quarter, the two teams played a 15:15 draw, the score was still relatively high, Anxi got 6 of them, plus 3 assists, that is, in the next three or four minutes, Anxi only hit one shot and scored two points.

Therefore, Anxi was still relatively depressed, and the Rocket's tight defense against him made Anxi have to give more priority to defense.

At this time, the game entered an official timeout, and An Xi began to look for a way to break through the Rockets' defense off the court.

In fact, the method is very simple, Anxi can play without the ball again, this is a method that will always work, but this time, Anxi is not ready to do this.

After leaving the game, Anxi began to apply to Brett Brown for unlimited fire rights.

At the beginning of the season last season, Anxi's condition for joining the 76ers was unlimited firing rights, but after a season's success, this condition was not fulfilled, because of the final success, Anxi did not bother with this problem, but occasionally Anxi would ask for this right.

This time, Anxi made another request, and Brett Brown hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"No problem, but Ann, I want you to focus on the playoffs this season. ”

Anxi didn't care, he just wanted to play a historic regular season now.

And after getting the guarantee of unlimited firing rights, Anxi can brush indefinitely.

The 76ers made a substitution, McCarvey played, Pau Gasol on the inside was also replaced by Channingfrye, and on the Rockets' side, Josh Smith, who rejected the 76ers' offer, replaced Motai Yunas, and the Rockets also strengthened the team's interior defense.

The battle between the two teams resumed after the pause.

Anxi began to constantly attack from a medium distance, this position was abandoned by the Rocket's magic ball theory, of course, that was on the offensive end, and the defensive end of the rocket still arranged a tight defense in this position, but Anxi is now a strong attack, it is a variety of strong attacks, and it is simply ignoring the strong attack of the defense, so the Rocket's tight defense has become useless.

Anxi's low back shot, back turn jumper, opened the scoring.

Then he continued to play with his back in the low post, and scored another 2 points on a layup, and his score in the first quarter broke 10 points.

At this time, the Rockets' defense of Anxi also changed, from Patrick Beverley to Trevor Ariza, because it was obvious that Anxi began to stare at Beverley's size gap and tonnage gap and constantly back, and replacing the defender with Ariza was obviously a better choice.

Ariza's defense was also effective, and he then blocked a turnaround jumper from Anxi.

But then Anxi's chase three points, he still couldn't defend it.

In the end, the first quarter was over, and the 76ers led the Rockets by 2 points at 32:30.

Anxi scored 13 points in the first quarter, and the score was not high compared to the first two games, but the strong attack in the second half of the first quarter still made many people see Anxi's strong desire to attack.

In the second quarter, the two teams went on the bench, and Anxi continued to play strongly in the first quarter, and his physical energy was also consumed a lot, so he rested off the court as soon as he came up in the second quarter.

The 76ers added a point guard McCarvey, shooting guard James Anderson, small forward Evan Turner, power forward Pau Gasol and center Cole Aldridge.

But such a lineup was quickly collapsed by the Rockets' bench lineup, and the 76ers were hit by the Rockets with a wave of 7:0 offensive climax at the beginning, and the Rockets overtook the score in one fell swoop.

However, Brett Brown did not rush to replace Anxi, but held on until the sixth minute of the second quarter, and after the Rockets' lead reached 9 points, he called a timeout and prepared to replace Anxi.
