Chapter 30: The Opening Battle (4)
In the second quarter of the game, the 76ers replaced Anxi to rest, allowing McCarvey and Evan Turner, who were in excellent condition, to play with the bench lineup. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the Heat side, because of the need to chase points, they only replaced Wade in the Big Three, let James and Bosh continue to play, and the goal is to chase points, their task is very heavy, after all, they are as many as 19 points behind.
However, on the first shot of the opening game, McCarvey gave the Heat a slap in the face.
He controlled the ball to the frontcourt, Noris Cole quickly posted up, Evan Turner cut into the air, directly pulled away part of the defense, substitute Jack Crowder cameo shooting guard, he also went around the bottom corner, given his three-point threat, Ray Allen also followed, so all of a sudden, the entire arc to the penalty area was empty.
McCarvey quickly dribbled with two crotch dribbles and then crossed to break through Norriscoll's defense.
Norris Cole stepped back and Chris Anderson quickly pulled back into the box.
But suddenly, McCarvey took a step back, stepped directly outside the three-point line, jumped high, and stood in front of Norry Scole.
Then, with a bang, it directly triggered the tsunami of the mountains in Vachovia.
"Three-point! Michael Carter Williams hit a three-pointer! Didn't he say he didn't have the ability to shoot from a distance?" Steve Cole suddenly felt that his worldview was shattered and could not be broken anymore, first he preconceived that McCarvey was a parallel commodity, but then McCarvey proved himself with his excellent performance, but Steve Kerr still believed that McCarvey didn't shoot from a distance, but now, McCarvey suddenly scored a three-pointer single......
Reggie Miller smiled: "One or two three-pointers don't mean anything." ”
Steve Kerr nodded, and it is true that although McCarvey scored a single three-pointer, this does not prove that McCarvey has a long-range shot, but McCarvey's three-point shot still has a huge effect, because after this three-point shot, the 76ers led the Heat by 22 points, and this is the beginning of the second quarter.
Heat's offense, LeBron James played very resolutely, Jack Crowder defended a little hard, LeBron James rushed into the interior with the ball, shook off Jack Crowder, a violent dunk, and scored 2 points.
With 20 points remaining, McCarvey's three-pointer still earned the 76ers a one-point advantage.
However, the development of the situation was not so smooth, the 76ers still held the ball on the side of McCarvey, he faked a real pass, passed a chance, Evan Turner's mid-range shot did not go in, and Chris Anderson on the inside grabbed the rebound, which directly allowed the Heat to play a wave of counterattacks.
Norris Cole assisted James to complete another violent dunk, and the difference was narrowed to 18 points.
Then, McCarvey made another three-pointer from the outside, this time it was an absolute big vacancy, but unfortunately it didn't go in, and Steve Kerr was basically sure that McCarvey did not have the ability to shoot from three-point distance, and the three-pointer that came up in the second quarter was blind.
The 76ers didn't score again, but fortunately this time the Heat didn't score either, Chris Bosh faced Thaddeus Young's defense, couldn't make a mid-range shot, and Cole Aldridge on the inside grabbed the rebound.
The difference is still 18 points, and then, the two teams have been entangled for a while, LeBron James suddenly burst into power, first stealing Evan Turner on the defensive end, winning a fast-break dunk, and then defending Thaddeus Young's mid-range shot, LeBron James completed another layup, Jack Crowder's three-point iron, LeBron James caused a foul in the frontcourt, two free throws and one hit, two or three shots, and the point difference was rapidly approached.
In the 7 minutes of the second quarter, LeBron James attracted the defense from the middle distance, a behind-the-back pass, Ray Allen received the ball and made a layup, smack, scored 2 points, Anxi looked up from the court, and the 76ers were only 11 points ahead at this time, that is, after a few rounds, the Heat narrowed the gap by 7 points.
McCarvey's performance was not bad, contributing two more steals in the second quarter and making a mid-range shot, but it was clear that McCarvey's performance alone could not withstand the impact of the Heat's big two, and the Heat had already played a wave of small high-tides.
So, when there were 11 points left, Brett Brown called a timeout, and at this time, it was clear that in order to maintain the 76ers' lead, it was time for him to replace Anxi.
"Ann, Sean (Livingston), Byron (Mulens), you guys come on and take on Michael [McCarvey], Evan [Turner] and Thaddeus (Young). ”
In the seventh minute of the second quarter, McCarvey left the court, and his first-half stats were basically frozen, with 11 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 steals without turnovers......
"The 76ers took a timeout, they made substitutions, and they replaced Ann Creek, Shaun Livingston and Byron Mulens, and it seemed that they were ready for Ann to play a little longer with the bench. Steve Kerr looked at the technical desk and saw the substitutions, and the Heat also made substitutions, and he continued: "The Heat also made substitutions, LeBron James and Norris Cole left, Dwyane Wade and Shaun Battier played, and should be ready to let Dwayne Wade take a bench." ”
Substitutions were made on both sides, and the 76ers still had 11 points left in the lead, and Anxi was tasked with maintaining that 11-point advantage.
No one would think that with the Heat gradually regaining their form, the 76ers could expand the point difference again, so almost everyone felt that Anxi's appearance was just to keep the 76ers' remaining 11-point lead, and it was best to keep it until the end of the game.
But Anxi didn't think so, he took Shaun Livingston out of the game, the first ball on the field, Shaun Livingston firmly controlled the ball on the outside, Anxi relied on the cover, rushed to the position, stuck a position, and reached out to ask for the ball.
Low-post offense, LeBron James off the court saw this, his eyes widened and he watched, Anxi's low-post technique has not been used much since it was practiced, so the Heat didn't pay much attention to it, and just let Sean Battier defend alone.
So, An Xi hit his back twice, and then directly jumped and appeared under the basket, took advantage of the momentum, pulled his arms, like a bow full of strings, and smashed the basketball into the basket!
There was a bang, the referee's whistle sounded at the same time, and with a beep, the referee pointed at Sean Battier, who fouled ......
The fans on the sidelines of Vajovia jumped up all of a sudden, cheered wildly, called Anxi's name in their mouths, and then waved the cheering cards in their hands.
"Anxi's low-post singles caused Sean Battier's foul, 2 points are effective, and there are additional free throws!"
On the field, Anxi raised his hand, raised a finger, and pointed to the sky above the stadium, which was the big screen, and Anxi's goal was being replayed at this time, so seeing Anxi's arrogant celebration, the cheers on the sidelines were a little louder.
Walking to the free throw line, An Xi hit the free throw accurately, and the difference became 14 points.
Wade rushed forward with the ball, Anxi took a step sideways, directly blocked Wade, bang, the two collided together, and then, Wade turned around, dribbled behind his back, shook Anxi's defense, and squeezed into the three-point line by grazing Anxi's right shoulder......
Rushing to the three-point line, Wade jumped up in a riding archery position and held the ball towards the basket.
An Xi behind him sped up his pace, rushed a step sharply, rushed up is a big hat behind his back, snapped, and the crisp sound exploded directly in Wachovia, and the basketball flew off the court like a volleyball.
"The big hat on the back, Dwayne Wade is too careless! Anxi's back hat is very threatening!"
Steve Cole shouted, on the court, Wade shrugged, and then didn't care, directly re-serve the ball, after receiving the ball, there was not much time left, and he directly came to a mid-range shot against Anxi's defense, and hit it with a bang!
DJ shouted in a low voice: "Dwayne Wade's 2 points, hit ......"
And Wade, who was on the court, raised his shooting hand and silently provoked, and naturally there was a burst of boos on the sidelines.
Anxi took the ball directly from the bottom line, and the boos did not stop, he rushed to the front court with the ball, and a three-point shot flew out directly!
"Anxi! Three points against the sky, the 76ers are 15 points ahead!"
The game continued, Wade continued to shoot against the sky in the frontcourt, still against Anxi's defense, and then threw the mid-range shot, and the difference became 13 points.
It seems that both teams are playing a little hard, but the scene has gradually turned into a mutual competition between Anxi and Wade.
The 76ers' offense, Anxi took the ball again, and he appeared in the low post again, facing Sean Battier with his back.
The Heat still didn't pay attention to Anxi's low-post singles, and still let Battier defend Anxi alone, so Anxi slammed the ball twice, turned around, Sean Battier stretched out his hand, and with a beep, the referee whistled again and fouled again.
The basketball also crossed the basket and drilled into the penalty area with a thud.
Another 2+1!
Anxi walked to the free throw line and still scored free throws steadily, the same as the previous goal, Wade was 2 points, Anxi was still 3 points, so the difference became 16 points, and imperceptibly, the difference actually expanded.
However, after Anxi's continuous low-post singles became fouls, the Heat also paid attention to Anxi's low-post ball, Wade made a layup, and after scoring again, Anxi still had the same old routine, standing in the low post, and directly opened his hand to ask for the basketball from Shaun Livingston.
Bang bang
The moment Wade wrapped it over, Anxi made a back pass, and Jack Crowder, who had just been left by Wade, received the ball and threw it, with a bang, three points into the bag!
3:2!The 76ers extended their one-point lead again......
After Anxi came on the court, the situation on the court became a little wrong, Steve Kerr was stunned, and then said: "The point difference has been widened again, both sides are scoring, but the 76ers have to score one more point every time, and now, the point difference is back to 17 points." ”
Reggie Miller also nodded: "Anxi scored 9 points in a row, and the Heat obviously couldn't stop Anxi's impact." (To be continued.) )
