Chapter 145: Best Manager Sam Singki (Pirate Mosquito Ten Thousand Rewards Plus Change)
On May 6, 2014, with three hours left before the start of the Eastern Conference semifinals, the 76ers' pregame press conference was underway in the press room at Vagiovia's home court. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There were a lot of reporters present, because of this pre-match press conference, Adam Xiao Hua also arrived.
At the press conference, Adam Shaw personally announced: "The winner of the 2013-2014 regular season manager of the year is Mr. Sam Sinki, general manager of the Philadelphia 76ers!"
To a round of applause, Samsinki lifted the 76ers' second individual trophy so far this season, the first being McCarvey's Rookie of the Year trophy.
"Over the past season, Mr. Sam Singki has done a lot of brilliant things, including selecting Michael Carter Williams in the draft, signing Anxi, trading for Jack Crowder, trading for Pau Gasol and Omir Asik, all of which have proven to be shrewd and right. ”
The host counted the transfer operations of Samsinki this season, and at the end of a season, looking back, every transaction of Samsinki was indeed very shrewd and correct.
Sending away Jrue Holiday, the 76ers got Noren Snoll and a second-year first-round pick, Noren Snoll doesn't need to mention it again, although he has been recovering from injuries this season, but it is also worth betting on the identity of the top pick before the injury, and that second-year first-round pick is also beginning to highlight his value.
The Pelicans didn't make the playoffs, they finished 12th in the West, and this first-round pick has top-five protection, which means that the top five are drawn, and this pick has to be returned to the Pelicans, but considering the Pelicans' ranking this year, the chances of winning the top five are not very high, which means that the 76ers will definitely get a lottery pick.
So, to dismantle the transaction of sending away Zhu Holiday, it is to use Zhu Holiday, a quasi-All-Star player, in exchange for a Noren Snoll, a former top pick, and a lottery pick, which seems to have been earned.
Signing Anxi is even more profitable, which goes without saying.
Two second-round picks in exchange for Jack Crowder have also proven himself, and this season, Jack Crowder is already the 76ers' starting small forward, with a tough outside defense and a maturing outside three-point hand.
A few signings at the beginning of the season, although not mentioned above, are actually very bright, and Shaun Livingston gradually proved himself, with a beautiful one-handed high turnover jumper and good accuracy.
Francesco Garcia and James Anderson were stable three-point firepower points on the bench, and Cole Aldridge played well as a starting center before Omir Asik's arrival.
Needless to say, the deal for Gasol was equivalent to trading Spencer Hawes and Thaddeus Young for an All-Star power forward, and the Asik deal made up for the 76ers' interior shortcoming, although they lost Evan Turner.
After one trade after another, the 76ers won a wave at the end of the season, and finally ranked second in the East, which was a surprise in terms of results.
At the end of the press conference, Samsinki smiled and said thank you to everyone, and then, he saw Anxi, and Samsinki and Anxi came to hug: "An, thank you as well, I hope I can see a victory tonight." ”
Anxi nodded, and Sam Xinki continued: "By the way, I forgot to say it, Boss Josh Harris will also come to the scene tonight to watch the game, play hard, and win this game!"
……
In the passionate roar of DJs at the Wachovia Arena, the 76ers fans created a warm atmosphere, and the whole arena became lively.
The referee of this game walked to the center of the court with the basketball, and the game was about to begin.
Both teams started on the floor of the Wachovia Arena and the on-site Turner Sports commentators got to work.
"Hello everyone, this is the 2013-2014 playoffs Eastern Conference semifinals 76ers vs. Heat game, this is the first meeting between the two teams, the 76ers' home game, the Heat away game, I'm Craig Sager, and I'm with Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith today. ”
The camera pans towards Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, and the two also say hello to the camera.
Then the camera pans to the center of the field.
"The game is about to start, and the starting lineups of both teams have been released, and the 76ers have not changed much from the starting lineup, with point guard McCarvey, scoring guard Anxi, small forward Kowhi Leonard, power forward Pau Gasol and center Omir Asik. ”
Instead, the Heat made a number of changes in this game, with David Fitzdale opting to put Sean Battier in the starting lineup and Chris Anderson off the bench, currently with a small lineup of point guard Mario Chalmers, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, small forward LeBron James, power forward Sean Battier and center Chris Bosh. ”
Omir Asik and Chris Bosh stood in the 76ers logo in the center circle, and the referee for tonight's game was bald lottery Jock Clifford, who threw the basketball into the air as soon as the whistle blew.
Bosh and Asik jumped up at the same time, and Chris Bosh, who was more responsive, grabbed the basketball first and dialed the basketball to the Heat halfcourt, where Mario Chalmers took the basketball and the Heat won the ball for the first offense of the opening game.
Before this game, LeBron James put a lot of big words, but perhaps because the situation in the playoffs this season is really good, LeBron James's confidence has also improved a lot.
After the cover of Chris Bosh in the frontcourt, LeBron James went straight into the penalty area and hit the first goal of the game with a board shot to get off to a good start.
The game was unfavorable to the 76ers from the beginning, LeBron James got rid of Anxi's defense at the beginning by blocking and dismantling, and got an easy chance to score, and Anxi also knew very well that if you want to win the game, you must make LeBron James struggle on the offensive end, but this point, they failed to do well from the beginning.
"Well, was it scored by the Heat in the opening game? It's not going to be good, Sam. ”
In this game, Josh Harris sat in the front row near the 76ers bench, and Sam Sinki also accompanied the owner to watch the game.
In the face of Josh Harris's opening emotion, Sam Singki could only say vaguely: "Yes, the Heat are very strong, and we may not be able to win." ”
Josh Harris was reasonable, and he nodded, taking it for granted.
"Let's hope we don't lose this game too badly. Josh Harris muttered in a low voice, but it startled Samsinki, and quickly looked around, fortunately, this sentence was a small win, and it was not heard by fanatical 76ers fans, otherwise it would be over if people heard that the owners of the 76ers were not optimistic about their team winning.
On the court, the 76ers' offense began, McCarvey controlled the tempo, Anxi played without the ball, he ambushed to the bottom corner, ready to go around at any time.
McCarvey controlled the outside for a while, and then had a hand-to-hand cooperation with Pau Gasol, who was pulled to the high post, but McCarvey failed to break through with the ball, so he could only hand over the basketball to Pau Gasol for a high position.
Seeing that time was running out, the 76ers still didn't find any good opportunities, and Anxi started.
rushed to the top of the arc, he also had a hand-to-hand cooperation with Pau Gasol, and then an acceleration shook off LeBron James, who was delayed by Gasol's cover, rushed into the interior with the ball, made a quick stop jump shot, shot directly, and hit a 2-point shot!
In the opening 2:2 draw, Anxi and LeBron James scored separately, and the way of scoring was very similar, both of which were easy scoring opportunities through teammates' blocking and dismantling and covering, throwing off the defense, and getting easy scoring. (To be continued.) )
