Chapter 14: The Whirlwind of Death
In half a quarter, the 76ers are the semi-main lineup, and the Heat are also the semi-main force, although outsiders don't feel anything, Anxi himself knows that the decisive battle was staged in advance. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The 76ers are aiming to widen the margin in one wave, and the Heat are aiming a little smaller, and they just want to maintain the current scoreline.
The score of the two teams was tied at 42-42 with the 76ers having the ball.
There is no doubt that the basketball was given to Anxi at the beginning, and the biggest question now is what kind of method Anxi will use to end this offense, and whether James Ennis, the rookie who defends Anxi, can prevent Anxi.
Everything is unknown.
Anxi held the ball one step from beyond the three-point line and put on a three-threat pose.
Then, taking a step forward, James Ennis immediately took half a step back, and the shortcomings of his rookie inexperience nature appeared.
An Xi immediately retracted his probe steps, pulled out directly from the outside, and made a three-point shot......
Bang!
Three-point hit!
At 45:42, the 76ers immediately took a three-point lead.
Then, the Heat's offense missed under Anxi's interference, and Nolen Snoll on the inside grabbed the rebound, but then the 76ers' fast break didn't score, Anxi passed to Jack Crowder, Jack Crowder made a few hasty layups, and the result was not scored.
The Heat grabbed the rebound and in turn beat the 76ers.
Noris Cole rushed to the front court and threw a chase three-pointer!
With a bang, the whole audience exclaimed, and the score was equalized again.
Alex Poelstra clapped his hands in satisfaction, and the next few balls, Eriks Poelstra was even more satisfied.
The 76ers offense missed again, and the Heat played another wave of counterattacks, this time they played a fast-break tactic that broke through the interior, and it was Noris Cole who held the ball.
In this way, the Heat's bench was boiling, and the Heat relied on this counterattack to score and overtake the score!
They are two points ahead of the 76ers.
"The Heat are so tenacious......"
"Look at this situation, that Jianzhang Yulin is going to be sprayed miserably."
When some fans saw the Heat score continuously and even overtook the score, they couldn't help but have doubts about the strength of the 76ers.
Of course, there are also fans who believe that the 76ers have just made substitutions, and it is too early to say anything.
"Don't rush to conclusions, it's too early."
The game continued to start, and was continuously beaten by the Heat into a counterattack and fast attack, and An Xi also played carefully and steadily, he controlled the ball past half court, looked around and began to look for opportunities.
James Ennis carefully wrapped up in Anxi, the first two defensive rounds, James Ennis did a good job, so, James Ennis also became confident, sometimes self-confidence is a good thing, but sometimes, self-confidence can become very bad.
Anxi held the ball and accelerated, and he wanted to pass Ennis directly.
It was difficult for Ennis to block Anxi's strong breakthrough alone, so he called for the help of his teammates, and Ruerdeng outflanked him from the other side, wanting to cooperate with Ennis to contain Anxi.
Anxi also played very smart at the moment, and directly handed the ball to Jack Crowder on the other side, so that Ruhr Deng could only go back.
But at this time, Anxi suddenly accelerated, shook off James Ennis by a step, and then accelerated to the other side, reaching out for the ball.
Jack Leod has also been teammates with Anxi for a season, and they have a tacit understanding, at this time, he is very clear about Anxi's intentions, and a very timely return pass is passed back.
Anxi took the ball and threw it.
Without hesitation!
Although James Ennis caught up, Anxi had already aimed at the basket at this time, and the opportunity had already come out, and James Ennis's interference was too late.
Swish! Anxi's three-point direct hit! The direct score difference overtook back!
The Wachovia Arena was jubilant, Anxi clenched his fists, and then gave a high-five to Noren Snorr, who had withdrawn from the inside.
The Heat team began to organize the offense again, and they just managed to overtake by two points and take a hard-won lead, but they were quickly completed by Anxi with a three-pointer, and they were obviously not convinced and wanted to overtake the difference again.
Noris Cole gave the basketball to Chris Bosh on the inside.
Bosh faced Channingfrye and made a tough face-to-frame attack, and finally made a high jumper.
The main flaw of the 76ers' lineup is still revealed, their defense is obviously not up to the mark, once the Heat get a one-on-one opportunity, especially a one-on-one opportunity with Louis Williams or Channingfry, their defense can be easily torn apart.
After all, neither Louis Williams nor Channingfrye defended well.
After the Heat scored, the margin was reversed, and they turned to a one-point lead.
"Give me the ball!"
After Louis Williams controlled the ball and passed the half, Anxi directly opened his hand to ask for the ball. Louis Williams didn't hesitate much and gave the ball directly to Anxi.
Anxi faced James Ennis again, and he got a one-on-one singles opportunity.
Anxi faced Ennis, he still used his old move, a three-threat move, stretched out a probe step, and then, without waiting for Ennis's reaction, he directly closed the step.
James Ennis immediately thought that An Xi was repeating the old trick, and he was about to reach out to interfere.
So, at this time, Anxi directly collected the ball, his right shoulder sank, his whole body was short, and he directly kicked the ground with both feet, like the wind, and passed James Ennis, who had been out of position defensively, from the right side.
Lu Erdeng hurriedly moved sideways to make up for the defense, but Anxi, who rushed to the inner line, changed direction sharply and passed Lu Erdeng neatly.
Then, Anxi came to the penalty area, as the last line of defense in the Heat penalty area, in the face of Anxi's impact, Sean Williams made up in a panic. Sean Williams is not a defensive center in the first place, and he can be on the court, more because he has an outside three-point hand, but the interior defense is completely unexpected.
Therefore, Anxi took advantage of the situation to lean on Sean Williams, stretched out his right hand, and sent the basketball to the basket.
His hand touched Sean Williams' hand, and in that moment, Anxi threw the basketball to the basket!
With a bang, the basketball went through the net.
Beep! The referee's whistle also sounded in time, and the crisp whistle and the crisp sound of wiping the net sounded at the same time, causing a splash in the Wachovia Arena, and finally evolved into a tsunami of cheers.
The 76ers fans on the sidelines and the 76ers fans in front of the TV stood up excitedly at this time and shouted frantically.
Then, Anxi walked to the free throw line amid the cheers of the whole court.
With a bang, there was another crisp sound of wiping the net, and Anxi hit the penalty!
Two plus one hit, the 76ers lead the Heat by 2 points!
Then, the Heat's offense, Bosh singled inside, and James Ennis on the outside found an opportunity, ran back to catch the ball, and was about to shoot directly.
An Xi saw the opportunity, made up for it, and with an arrow step, he pounced and covered the ball with a slap.
"Smack!"
The crisp and loud sound of the cap exploded in James Ennis's ears, and his shot was blown away by An Xi, if there is a cold hand icon in reality like in a 2K game, then James Ennis must be full of this kind of icon at this moment.
However, it must be said that it is a wrong decision to let James Ennis, a substitute rookie, go to Anxi, even those old balls who have been in the league for many years will be beaten by Anxi, not to mention James Ennis, an inexperienced rookie.
So, at this time, Mickey Allison, who was sitting in the away box, was full of iron, and before that, he was still very satisfied with the team's performance, but the last few consecutive rounds made Mickey Allison very annoyed, especially Josh Harris next to him who was still applauding there.
Alex Poelstra soon realised that something was wrong, and he walked to the sidelines, ready to call a timeout.
However, the 76ers grabbed the basketball that Anxi covered on the court, and a wave of counterattacks to prevent the opponent's offense came immediately.
Alex Poelstra also didn't care about calling a timeout, so he could only keep shouting from the sidelines: "Ruhr, go defend Ann!" Go Defend Ann! ā
But in the fast attack, it was difficult for Ruer Deng to touch Anxi, he ran all the way from the backcourt, and as soon as he rushed to the frontcourt, he could only see Anxi rushing all the way to the frontcourt, and then assisted Louis Williams, who was also on the fast break, to make a layup.
The margin was extended to four points, and there was applause from the sidelines.
"Well done!"
"The 76ers scored two more points, and the margin was extended to four points."
The game continued, and the Heat launched another offense, and at this time, Anxi decisively increased his running on the defensive end, and James Ennis was almost no threat on the offensive end, so Anxi could put more energy into supplementing and assisting defense.
The Heat's offense was very slow, because they really couldn't find too good opportunities, and in the end they could only find ways to pass the basketball inside, and the basketball passed to Chris Bosh, the 76ers had already changed their defenses, Bosh made a layup against Nolen Snow's defense, but the result was off, and Anxi picked up the rebound from behind.
The 76ers had an opportunity to continue to expand the score.
The next wave of offense The 76ers still played very fast, they quickly counterattacked to the frontcourt, Anxi broke directly into the inside, the Heat's defense was chaotic, and they could only encircle Anxi as much as possible, and as a result, a large number of vacancies leaked from the outside.
An Xi held the ball in his left hand, shook it slightly, and passed the basketball out.
In the next second, Channing Frye, who had just arrived outside the three-point line, made a three-point shot, and with a bang, hit accurately.
7 points difference! The 76ers directly beat the Heat 8:0!
So, just like that, the 76ers beat their rhythm out.
The Heat also scored quickly, but the 76ers scored more efficiently, and the 76ers' lineup is an offensive lineup, which can shoot from all corners of the court, and it is difficult for the Heat to defend.
As a result, at the domestic forum, Jianzhang Yulin was active again, because the 76ers took the lead, and soon a three-pointer from Jack Crowder stretched the difference to double digits.
Soon, at halftime, the 76ers took a 13-point lead at 68:55.
Such a lead can not be considered small, and in the second half of the second quarter, Anxi scored 11 points and 4 assists, which was the absolute hero of the 76ers' lead, and in the second half of the second quarter, the Heat also scored a 13 points, the score is not high, and it is obvious that the 76ers' defense is also doing its best.
In this way, with a 13-point lead at halftime, the 76ers entered halftime with a relaxed mood.
At halftime, Brett Brown made more arrangements, and a 13-point lead at halftime was obviously not enough to satisfy him, and Coach Brown wanted to see the 76ers take more leads.
"Three quarters over, that's what we're going to do next." Brett Brown held up three fingers and continued. "Before the game, everyone thought that the Heat, who had also won four in a row, were a close match for us, and now, I want you to prove that the Heat are not a team on the same level as the 76ers!"
Concerted chants rang out in the home dressing room before the door was pushed open and the second half was about to begin.
In the second half, the 76ers still put on a semi-main lineup, point guard Shaun Livingston, scoring guard Anxi, small forward Evan Turner, power forward Pau Gasol and center Noren Snoll.
On the Heat side, the main force is exhausted, and the new big three are all present.
And so the game started again.
Anxi is fully focused on Wade, he knows that although he has played four games this season, the Heat's Big Three have performed very well, but the core of the Heat is still Wade, especially in terms of organization, Lu Erdeng can only be regarded as a master of chaos, Bosh is just an endpoint, and the Heat needs Wade's organization and offense.
Now, Anxi is trying his best to cut off Wade's offense, which is equivalent to cutting off the Heat's offense.
On the first ball of the third quarter, the Heat's offense, Wade broke through with the ball and was quickly defended by Anxi.
Then he passed the ball to Bosh, who missed a shot in the face of Gasol's defense, and Noren Snoll on the inside grabbed the rebound.
But then, the 76ers also missed the shot.
Anxi broke through the ball, Evan Turner missed an open three-pointer, and the Heat grabbed the rebound.
Then the Heat's offense missed, and Anxi's defense of Wade was too good and didn't give Wade even the slightest chance.
Subsequently, Anxi continued to break through, this time it was Shaun Livingston who received the ball, but his three points still didn't score.
So, after two or three rounds, the two teams kept battling, and Brett Brown frowned, and he found out what the problem was.
The 76ers players on the court also saw what the problem was, and they began to attack the interior.
But the effect is mediocre.
In this way, after more than four minutes of play, the 76ers only slowly extended their original 13-point lead to 15 points.
Bret Brown spotted the problem, called a timeout, and re-switched to a couple of his team's outside three-pointers.
With this change, the 76ers' offense is alive again......
The main reason is that Anxi is alive, and there are many three-point shooters on the outside, so that he can play and break through as much as he wants, and create a threat.
"It seems that this lineup is very strong except for the center and Anxi, and the rest of the positions can shoot three-pointers......" Brett Brown couldn't help but think that the characteristics of this lineup are fast offensive and defensive speed, and the outside shooting is accurate, Brett Brown feels that maybe there are times when you can use this lineup more and use it to open up the situation at critical moments.
At this time, Charles Barkley on the commentary bench had already discovered the strength and characteristics of this lineup, and even named this special lineup of the 76ers: "Fast offensive and defensive speed, more outside projection, and often killing games, I think he can be called a whirlwind of death, how about it?" ā
