Chapter Ninety-Six: Chasing (Twilight Star Ten Thousand Rewards)
The Mavericks attacked, Anxi faced Monta Ellis, and Ellis's performance in this game was also average, under Anxi's defense, Ellis only scored 8 points on 3 of 9 shots. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, the Mavericks relied on Dek Nowitzki and Sean Marion, as well as DeJuan Blair on the bench, to take a big lead.
The Mavericks' ball is still the same, Jose Calderon controlled the frontcourt, and then directly stuffed the ball to Dek Nowitzki, the king of the Nuo Tianwang singled Gasol, since the beginning of the 10 season, the king of the Nuo Tianwang can beat Gasol every time, this time is no exception, the first three quarters have used too much golden rooster independence, ignoring Gasol's defensive score.
This time, after Nowitzki got the ball, he feinted with the ball, attracted the defense and then gave the ball to the other side.
After Jose Calderón received the ball, he had another burst of possession, cut into the penalty area and threw it, and the ball went in with a bang.
The margin returned to 19 points.
Shaun Livingston was a bit soft defensively and couldn't defend it.
The 76ers immediately served in the backcourt and played a wave of quick offense, and it was Anxi who took the ball.
And the Mavericks' defense is still the same, the defense is expanded, hoping to control Anxi outside the three-point line.
However, Anxi also learned well, and directly changed direction outside the three-point line, squeezed Marion away, and then faced Montaellis's bag, Anxi chose to play with his back, two hits, and pushed towards the three-point line.
Marion rushed over and wanted to snatch the basketball in An Xi's hand, but An Xi dodged directly, then turned around and squeezed Monta Ellis to break through again.
There was a scene of Anxi hitting two on the field, and for this feat, there was an immediate uproar on the sidelines.
But soon, Anxi showed with practical actions that he was not a god, and after controlling it for a while, under the pressure of the two people's defense, Anxi was also unstable in dribbling.
Dodging Marion's yet another steal attempt, Anxi held the ball with both hands and passed it out.
At this time, the Mavericks' defense had been disrupted by Anxi.
So the pass was a direct chance.
Gasol, who was in the middle distance, received the ball and adjusted his shot, and with a bang, the difference was reduced to 17 points again.
Not to be outdone, the Mavericks found an opportunity, and the same mid-range shot was made, and with a bang, he also went in.
Then, this back and forth lasted for a few minutes, and the difference was stunned.
The difference is like a stubborn stain, you can't get rid of the slightest bit, and it's time to change the laundry detergent.
It's just that Brett Brown doesn't have many ways now, and the Mavericks are not a bad team, the 76ers' offense is fine, the problem is defense.
Then the problem comes again, the 76ers' defense is quite good now, but the Mavericks' outside line is not very good at defense, and it is easy to vacancy, so after thinking about it, Brett Brown called a timeout again, emphasizing the defense.
However, after this timeout, Brett Brown also had little confidence in the team's victory.
The Mavericks are in good shape, and it is too difficult to chase 19 points in a single quarter.
So the game played until the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, and the score difference still did not change much, hovering between 17 points, 18 points, and 19 points.
In the end, the 76ers lost 112-124 to the Mavericks at home.
In the first game of the arrival of new signings, they did not play well, but the integration of new signings was not too much of a problem, Omir Asik got 5 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block, and his performance was not bad. Another new signing, Troy Daniels, from the Rockets, also made a three-pointer.
It's the veteran Antoine Jamison, who didn't have a too bright performance on the offensive end, and Marion didn't explode on the defensive end.
And after this game, Brett Brown also confirmed the team's new rotation lineup.
Three days later, when the 76ers host the Bucks, Brett Brown has already settled on a nine-man rotation system.
Point guards McCarvey and Shaun Livingston, point guards Anxi and James Anderson, small forwards Jake Crowder and Francisco Garcia, and interior Cole Aldridge, Omir Asik and Pau Gasol, the main playing time will be divided between these nine, and the rest of the players will also get some playing time, but not much.
After the rotation lineup was determined, the 76ers began to run in.
Against the Bucks, there is no surprise in this game, the Bucks' record this season is only 10-45, and they went to the lottery area early, facing the 76ers, the Bucks have little fighting spirit, and the 76ers relied on Anxi's power to take the lead in the first quarter of the game, and McCarvey's comeback also brought a new core to the 76ers' second lineup, after the lead.
The 76ers then gradually extended their lead and eventually won 130-110 at home.
After this victory, the 76ers' record also changed to 36-20.
Two days later, the 76ers continued to play at home, but this time, they lost unexpectedly, facing the Magic, the 76ers let the Magic score a six-man double-double, three scored 20+ data, and finally lost the game 117-98.
In the two games after losing to the Mavericks, the 76ers won one and lost one, and considering that neither opponent is too strong, this record is obviously not good.
The biggest problem exposed in the two games was the defense, the winning game gave the opponent 110 points, and the losing game also lost 117 points, obviously the defense went wrong.
However, it is precisely because of the defensive problem that the 76ers are not too worried, because the team has changed to a new center, and Pau Gasol has not been here for long, and the defense needs longer to run in, and after the run-in is completed, the defense will always return to normal.
After playing the Magic, the February 2014 game was over.
In the first game of March, the 76ers challenged the Wizards away, but the 76ers lost this game again.
They allowed Trevor Ariza to score 40 points, John Wall to 17 assists, and finally allowed the Wizards to score six double-doubles and score a whopping 122 points, while the 76ers themselves scored 118 points and lost by just four points.
After losing to the Wizards, the 76ers ushered in a wave of 2 consecutive losses, and the Heat also changed the state of stumbling before the All-Star break.
The 76ers are still third in the East, with a record of 36-22, while the Bulls, who are fourth in the East, are 32-26, and they are in hot form in the second half of the season, gradually narrowing the gap, and they are still 4 wins away from the 76ers.
On March 2, the 76ers ushered in back-to-back games, in this game, they finally adjusted their defense, defeated the Magic 96-81, completed revenge, ended their two-game losing streak, and improved their record to 37-22.
And this record also indicates that the 76ers are about to lock up a playoff spot. (To be continued.) )
