Chapter 124: There's a Problem with Your Lineup

In the second half, the Heat made a burst of effort and finally won the game. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Not to be outdone, the 76ers originally had a 10-point advantage, and in the second half, they were as steady as Mount Tai, continuing to extend their lead, and finally defeated the Grizzlies 117-95, also winning.

With 53 wins and 25 losses, the 76ers and the Heat still have the same regular season record, but it is the Heat who should be anxious at this time, because with the advantage of each other's records, the 76ers are ahead of the Heat.

There are 4 games left in the end of the season, and the Heat and the 76ers still have a direct matchup, and the North American media believes that the Heat's last chance is that game.

At the end of the season, Anxi and his teammates were still engaged in three-on-five defensive training, and there was a cheer in the training hall.

"Defend and defend!"

"Pass the ball!"

As on previous occasions, the quartet McCarvey, James Anderson, Troy Daniels, Francisco Garcia and Pau Gasol, and the trio Anxi, Jack Crowder and Omir Asik.

Three-on-five has been practicing for almost a month, and the trio occasionally succeeds in defense, which seems to have an average effect, but Anxi still hasn't given up training, he feels that this kind of three-on-five training is very useful for the construction of the team's defensive system, although the effect is not very obvious until now, the 76ers' defense is still unstable and easy to be blown up.

On the field, McCarvey passed the ball to Francisco Garcia, and on the first pass, Jack Crowder blocked Garcia.

Garcia made a breakthrough and passed the ball again to Troy Daniels, and Ann Creek rushed over.

On the third pass, Jack Leod moved a step ahead of time and directly blocked James Anderson, who received the ball.

It looked like it was about to succeed, Anxi was happy, but James Anderson didn't stick to the ball at all, and immediately passed it out after the ball was in his hand, McCarvey regained the ball, hit the inside, faced Asik's supplemental defense, and a ground-hitting pass assisted Pau Gasol to score.

With five passes, the five-man attacking group narrowly won the game.

Having won the game, James Anderson breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Ann, you guys lost again. ā€

An Xi shook his head, it's normal to lose, it's strange not to lose, five passes, as long as the offensive team plans well, it can always tear up the shooting space.

Occasionally, the defensive group won once, and it was lucky to burst, and it happened to be blocked by Anxi and Jack Crowder from all the shooting points on the outside, such as this time, Jack Crowder moved ahead of time, and almost let the offensive group lose.

If it weren't for James Anderson's non-sticky pass to catch Anxi and Jack Leoder off guard, maybe this time the defensive group would have succeeded.

The three-on-five practice was conducted by Anxi during their lunch break, so the other players either sat on the sidelines and watched the three-on-five game, or sat on the sidelines to rest.

After playing a three-on-five game, Anxi and they also chose to rest, there is still a confrontation game in the afternoon, and if they continue to practice, they will not play the confrontation in the afternoon.

Chinese people are rich in mobile phones and bow their heads, and the United States is actually the same, as soon as they sit down to rest, everyone is too lazy to chat, so they take out their mobile phones and swipe Twitter.

Anxi swiped Twitter, found a lot of people Aite himself, frowned, clicked in to see, it turned out to be the latest issue of the MVP rankings released, this issue of the MVP rankings, and it is also the last issue of the season.

"Ann, look, in the latest edition of the MVP rankings on the NBA official website, you are ranked second!"

Teammates also swiped this news, the latest MVP ranking on the NBA official website, Anxi finally entered the top five, and directly surpassed Chris Paul, James Harden, LeBron James and Paul George, directly behind Durant, ranked second.

The NBA's official website commented on Anxi - "Averaging less than 30 points per game, the league's top five assists and the league's No. 1 steals, Anxi's individual performance is extremely good, and the team's record is quite perfect, and Anxi will be a strong contender for the regular season MVP this season." ā€

"Is this going to be killed directly?" A question mark was written on An Xi's face.

Before, Anxi was not allowed to enter the top five, but now Anxi is directly ranked second, in front of LeBron James, Anxi is very speechless and painful, he can only say now, fortunately, the reporters on the NBA official website did not let him sit on the first throne, otherwise the media in Russia and Miami would collectively attack Anxi.

The teammates smiled and picked up Anxi one by one, McCarvey believes that Anxi is in second place, there is nothing wrong with it!

Here's what he said: "Ann, I think it was the official website that suddenly found out that they ignored you, and then thought about it and found the most reasonable position for you to insert it." ā€

Jack Crowder also echoed: "That's right, there is no problem with being second, this season's personal performance is as good as Bian's, and it is only one Kevin Durant, right?"

"That's right. ā€

Jay is right. ā€

An Xi looked at this group of rightful teammates, and was also speechless for a while.

However, Anxi himself also thinks that he is ranked second, there must be no problem, Anxi's personal data is better than James, the original record was slightly worse than the Heat, and now he has caught up, and the ranking surpasses James, isn't it normal?

In the last few games of the season, Anxi and his team won back-to-back games, and they were simply unwilling to let go of a victory in order to overtake the Heat in the rankings.

First, the away win over the Bobcats went hand in hand with the Heat, who defeated the Wizards.

Then they beat the Bulls at home, and the Heat also won against the Hawks.

In the penultimate game, after the 76ers defeated the Celtics at home, they waited for the results of the game between the Heat and the Pistons.

And on the same day, Abby Hornacek also returned from Phoenix.

Because the Suns had already announced their exit one game early, and the Mavericks broke into the playoffs at the last moment, and there was no playoffs to play, Jeff Hornacek thought about it, so he stopped staying in Phoenix and flew to Philadelphia with his family.

On the one hand, her daughter is pregnant and needs to recuperate, and it is best to be with her son-in-law Anxi at this time.

On the other hand, Jeff Hornacek felt that since he couldn't make the playoffs, it would be better to come to Philadelphia and cheer for Anxi.

So, Jeff Hornacek came, and Abby came back with him.

Anxi found a few laborers to carry the large bags of luggage upstairs, and then watched as Mrs. Hornacek and Abby packed their bags and put their things where they should be.

Anxi and Jeff Hornacek stood bored, so they stepped aside and chatted.

"Ann, do you and Abby have any plans to get married?"

Abby has been pregnant for more than a month, but the two have not mentioned marriage, although there are many examples of not getting married and having children in the United States, and Jeff Hornacek doesn't care about getting married or not, but if Anxi has this plan, Jeff Hornacek also has to prepare well, such as inviting a few old teammates and friends in the NBA to attend the wedding or something.

An Xi nodded: "Well, I actually have such a plan, but the regular season and the playoffs have always been played, if I prepare for the wedding at this time, it is too rushed, so I am ready to wait for the end of the season and prepare, either to get married next year, or to get married in the offseason this year." ā€

Jeff Hornacek was relieved, he smiled, took a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it himself, he knew that Anxi didn't smoke.

"Ann, the next game is your last battle with the Heat, I heard you are going to fight for second place in the East?"

An Xi nodded again: "Well, at present, it seems that if we break into the second round, the opponent will definitely be Miami, so grabbing the second place in the East can help us win the home advantage." ā€

Jeff Hornacek spat out the window on the smoke and explained with a smile: "Abby is pregnant, and I don't even dare to smoke anymore." ā€

"Let's fight, I think, in the playoffs, it's hard for you to beat the Heat, and it's not bad to have a three-kill in the regular season. Jeff Hornacek's latter sentence is a little unoptimistic about the playoff matchup between the 76ers and the Heat.

"Why?" An Xi was a little surprised, the game hadn't been played yet, not to mention that the 76ers had an advantage over the Heat in the regular season.

"There's a problem with your squad. Jeff Hornacek was vague.

Anxi wanted to ask what the problem was, but Jeff Hornacek didn't say anything, only said: "Actually, I'm not very sure, let's wait until you play the Heat in the playoffs, if that situation really happens, I'll help you analyze it." (To be continued.) )
