Super Role Player

Los Angeles, Staples Arena, this is the first time Anxi has been here after the transfer.

Coming to Staples again, the Lakers have long been dumbfounded.

Kobe Bryant returned at the beginning of the season, only played 6 games, and once again announced the reimbursement of the season. Now the Lakers can only rely on Nick Young to support the scene. Mike D'Antoni’s running and bombing tactics killed Kobe Bryant and Steve. Nash ran away Dwight Howard, and in this game, the only remaining Pau Gasol also truce due to injury, there have been rumors in the league that Pau Gasol will be traded.

In this game, the 76ers regarded the Lakers as a rehearsal tactical opponent. After the opening, they ran continuously and played the tactics they wanted.

And Anxi's performance in this game seemed very flat, there were no highlights, the game was also won very easily, and the fight ended in three quarters.

In the end, Anxi scored 21 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals. The data was also lower than usual. Facing this Lakers, the 76ers did not need Anxi to show the strongest strength.

109:78, the 76ers won easily.

After the victory over the Lakers, the 76ers ushered in a wave of 3 consecutive victories, 19 wins and 11 losses, the 76ers continue to bite the eagle in front of the front, there is always the possibility of overtaking the eagle to become the third in the east.

After the game, Anxi did not rush to leave the scene either. He hugged Kobe Bryant who was watching the game.

Kobe Bryant was wearing a suit, with a confident smile on his face.

"An, good job, but unfortunately, I didn't let you come to Los Angeles to play." Bryant finally patted An Xi on the shoulder, and then said goodbye to An Xi.

Not being able to come to Los Angeles to play, Anxi himself felt a little regretful, but it was just a pity. The Lakers’ young boss Jim Buss already regretted it. He regretted his intestines. During the offseason, the Lakers had been fighting for Germany. White Howard, their goal is to leave the league's first center Dwight Howard, the result directly left Anxi in the cold.

Even Mickey Kupchak did not even consider signing Anxi at all. Now, the Lakers have discovered that they, who have the best commercial development in NBA, have missed the cash cow of Anxi, and may also miss the best chance of revival in the post-Kobe era.

After playing the Lakers, time has come to the new year, and 2014 has come.

On January 1, 2014, the 76ers arrived in Denver Plateau. They wore the 76ers retro jerseys from the 1980s. Charles Barkley, who explained the game on the spot, looked at the 76ers jerseys of their era and suddenly felt a little emotional. .

The 76ers with 19 wins and 11 losses have re-emerged, relying on Anxi who was transferred from the San Antonio Spurs...

Before the start of this game, the league released two noticeable news one after another, both related to Anxi.

Anxi won the Player of the Month, and McAway became the Eastern Rookie of the Month again. Although there were occasional struggles, McAway’s data was still the best among the 13 rookies, and the record was the same.

The best coach of the month was won by Toronto Raptors’ Dwayne Casey. In December, the Raptors had a record of 8 wins and 6 losses, which was not as good as the 76ers. However, Dwayne Casey won this award, the biggest The reason lies in the progress of the Raptors.

They won six away games in December. In nine games, the Raptors won seven of them, and their status has improved significantly.

Under the leadership of Jeff Hornacek, the Suns will have fierce firepower in the new season.

Jeff Hornacek also became the first person in the history of the NBA to win the Player of the Month and the Coach of the Month on the same team.

22 years ago, that was the only season in which Jeff Hornacek was selected as an All-Star. As the Suns guard, Hornacek averaged 20.1 points per game.

Both Larry Bird and Larry Drew have won Player of the Month and Coach of the Month, but they won both honors on different teams. Among them, Larry Bird was playing for the Celtics, and his coaching career was for the Pacers. Larry Drew was in Kansas City as a player, and his coaching career was with the Hawks.

The Western Conference's Rookie of the Month was won by Trey Burke. This 2K "God" rookie finally broke out in reality.

The Western Conference Player of the Month was won by Kevin Durant. This is the second consecutive time he has won this honor this season. In December, Kevin Durant averaged 29.4 points per game, ranking first in the league. 9 rebounds and 4.5 assists.

Anxi won the player of the month in December, but this is what Anxi deserves, but another news released by the nba has triggered a heated discussion in North America.

The vote for the first stage of the All-Star Weekend was announced. In the Western Conference, Stephen Curry won 5,49095 votes, and Anthony Davis, who won 544,623 votes, led the Western Conference. Kobe Bryant won 521,542 votes and became third in the Western Conference. Second in the field.

Kobe's Western backcourt dominance was shaken by Stephen Curry, which became a big news before this All-Star Weekend.

But the bigger news is yet to come.

After Kobe's serious injury, LeBron James's popularity thrived in the NBA, but LeBron James, who won 552,967 votes in the first stage, was not the league's top voter, not even the East's top voter!

On the throne of the alliance's ticket king, a short name is written impressively-"an-xi"!

709209! The votes in the first stage of Anxi exploded directly, leading the second LeBron James with 150,000 votes, almost a crushing lead!

People can't help asking: Is Anxi worthy of the throne of the vote king?

Thus, the 76ers’ 19-11 record and Anxi’s current position averaged 28.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 3.4 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. Anxi’s average per game data and performance are definitely a match. Won the throne of the ticket king!

However, in North America, many nativist fans expressed dissatisfaction. They believed that the reason why Anxi was able to defeat LeBron James to become the top voter was due to the vast number of Chinese behind him. They did not recognize Anxi's strength, and of course they did not recognize Anxi's strength. The identity of Anxi ticket king.

Among them, there were even radical reporters who ran to LeBron James and asked about the matter and asked LeBron James' thoughts.

In this regard, LeBron James, who has always been high in EQ, chose to avoid it.

However, the North American vote king controversy is not over, because a month ago, they discussed whether Anxi could squeeze Dwyane Wade into the All-Star starter because of Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, and a month later, Anxi was already It squeezed out LeBron James and became the top voter in the first stage of the All-Star. This gap made many fans in North America feel unacceptable.

However, the local media in Philadelphia said: The All-Star Voting King is nothing at all!

"In the history of the league, Yao from the East also won the All-Star vote in the 05 and 06 seasons, and Anxi performed better and more brilliantly. He can become the All-Star vote, which is nothing at all. What's more, Anxi became the vote king in the first stage of the All-Star, and has completely crushed the second LeBron James..."

But at this time Americans’ sense of national honor has come up. They began to constantly appeal on Twitter, Facebook and ig, calling on Americans to vote for LeBron James and not to let a foreigner of the yellow race become a vote for the NBA All-Star Weekend. king.

On the domestic front, through the reposts of several major portals, domestic fans have also learned about what has happened in the United States. A large number of posts have appeared on forums such as Hupu, Tieba, and Zhihu, screaming: "Brothers! The time for battle has arrived. Let's climb over that wall! Go vote for our Anxi! One vote every day!"

In this way, a big battle began.

As the client, Anxi felt dumbfounded. His idea was the same as that of the local media in Philadelphia. He was just an All-Star ticket king, no big deal...

...

On January 1, 2014, the 76ers challenged the Nuggets away. Because of the ticket king incident, the game attracted the attention of North American fans.

In the hope that the Nuggets beat the 76ers, Anxi scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, leading the 76ers to easily defeat the Nuggets.

After all, the Nuggets at this time are no longer the Nuggets in November. Just a month later, the Nuggets’ state began to decline, and internal problems also appeared. It is rumored that some players within the team were dissatisfied with coach Brian Shaw. , The record also declined like a meteorite.

In this game, the Nuggets played no better than the horrible Lakers, so the 76ers easily won a victory.

The American fans were disappointed, and the Chinese fans were happy. They cheered as if they had won a local war.

On January 2, 2014, the 76ers fought the King back to back.

After continuous back-to-back games, the 76ers’ main lineup was quite exhausted. Brett Brown, who came from the Holy City, naturally learned the rotation of the Holy City. Way, Thaddeus Young, Jack Lauder and insider Cole Aldridge have all been rotated.

The 76ers naturally became point guard Tony Roten, shooting guard James Anderson, small forward Evan Turner, power forward Byron Mullens and center Spencer Hawes.

Just when everyone took it for granted that the 76ers would lose the game, Tony Roton scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists on 6 of 13 shots. Evan Turner had 24 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists. Inside Spencer Hawes scored 28 points and 10 rebounds, plus James Anderson and substitute Francisco Garcia scored in double figures.

The 76ers actually relied on the explosion of a group of substitute players to win the game 113:106.

The 76ers' victory was surprising, and the group of aggressive fans in North America was also very disappointed.

The 76ers actually won?

"The Kings are too food, we need a better team to save the United States!" An American fan named William Hunt said on Twitter. Defeating the 76ers seemed to be promoted to the national level.

Anxi saw this tweet, which had been reposted millions of times, and looked helpless.

Because of Anxi, and because of the All-Star vote, the 76ers are now about to become the public enemy of the United States. Fortunately, it is just a group of radical fans. The 76ers' opponents did not regard the 76ers as enemies, and the game continued as usual. With.

On January 4, 2014, the 76ers arrived in Portland. In Portland, they will continue their road trip and challenge the Portland Trail Blazers away.

Portland in January is different from Philadelphia, which is also on the northern coast of the United States. The weather in Portland is as warm as spring. When the 76ers got off the plane, there was a light rain outside. The light rain made people feel that spring was already here. It's the same.

However, an oncoming icy wind made Anxi tighten his clothes tightly and walked off the plane quickly.

The last game was unexpectedly won, which allowed the 76ers to usher in a wave of 5 consecutive victories before challenging the Blazers, raising their record to 21 wins and 11 losses.

If this game is won, the 76ers will be able to usher in a six-game winning streak, tying the winning streak at the beginning of the season, but the opponents in this game are not so easy to provoke. The Blazers are in hot form this season and the team LaMarcus Aldridge and Damien Lillard both averaged more than 20 points per game. Together with Nicolas Batum, Wesley Matthews and Robin Lopez, the Blazers have one in the new season. A competitive starting lineup.

On the bench, Mo Williams can always contribute double points. Dorell Wright, who ran away from the 76ers, has also become one of the Blazers’ bench bandits, plus Anxi’s more promising cj McCollum and Will Button, the Blazers won 26 games in the West with this lineup, and only lost 7 games. The last time the two teams played against each other, the Blazers won.

Therefore, the 76ers' opponents in this game are a bit strong.

Turner Sports also temporarily listed this game as a national live broadcast. Countless North American fans who wanted to see the 76ers lose turned on their televisions and turned to Turner Sports.

If you add the live broadcasts of CCTV and Tencent Sports, the number of people watching this game may be hundreds of millions.

Before the game started, the fan named William Hunt sent another tweet: "Pioneer (blazer)! Come on! Beat that Chinese!"

Then he got tens of thousands of reposts and discussions again. This fan named William Hunt is already an internet celebrity.

...

After getting off the plane, the 76ers went directly to the arena and started the pre-match adaptability training ahead of schedule.

The Blazers haven't come yet, but there are already many fans on the sidelines, as well as many media reporters, fiddling with their own equipment, preparing for the upcoming game.

Because of the ticket king incident, this originally ordinary regular season has become hot, comparable to the Spurs’ battle of the century against the Heat last season.

The 76ers can’t tell. In fact, the strength gap in this game is quite obvious. The Blazers’ strength is obviously higher than that of the 76ers. The 76ers have only one All-Star-Anxi, and the Blazers directly There are only two-Damian Lillard and LaMarcus Aldridge, plus Batum and other powerful players, this game is almost an Anxi two or even more.

Therefore, the pressure on the 76ers is still great. On the one hand, they want to continue to win, on the other hand, the attention of North America makes them a little overwhelmed.

Anxi is training with his teammates. A group of Trail Blazers fans are watching. Fortunately, there are no such aggressive Trail Blazers fans. No one makes trouble. Most of the fans just watched quietly, and then took out their phones. Take pictures.

At this time, a small fan, at most five or six years old, trot all the way and ran to Anxi's side.

Anxi was shooting a basketball. The shooting coach sent a quick and fierce pass. It happened that the little fan ran to Anxi and frightened Anxi. Fortunately, Anxi was quick to move the basketball aside, and then looked at this little fan. fan.

With yellow hair and dark skin, he looks like an Asian.

Anxi tried to ask in Chinese: "Little brother, are you here to find me?"

The little fan replied milkily: "Yes, Anxi, take a photo with me." Then he raised the phone in his hand.

Anxi laughed. The little fan was very cute. He called Anxi directly. He touched the little fan's head affectionately, and then nodded in agreement: "No problem."

At this time, the parents of the little fans also came over and looked at Anxi with an apologetic smile. They patronized taking pictures, but their children ran to Anxi next to them.

Anxi smiled, not caring, stopped training, took a photo with the little fan, and then gave another autograph.

Then, I chatted with the parents of this little fan.

It turned out that they came to the United States to travel from China. They are from Dalian in Northeast China. The husband is called Zhong Yu, the wife is Xu Yourong, and the child is Xiaomao. After chatting for a while, Anxi directly took a photo with their family of three and continued training.

When Xiao Mao went to the auditorium, he waved to An Xi. An Xi smiled and didn't care, turning his head to signal the shooting coach to continue.

The Blazers also quickly arrived on the scene and began the pre-match warm-up training. When Damien Lillard played, he won a lot of cheers. Now the second-year point guard is conquering the tearing with his outstanding performance. City (Portland), since ancient times, there have been many fans on the outside. In Portland, Damien Lillard's popularity has surpassed LaMarcus Aldridge, who has dragged the Blazers forward by himself in recent years. .

When the Blazers arrived on the scene, Anxi had stopped training, wiped his sweat, and then accepted an interview with Turner Sports host Doris Burke on the sidelines.

The interview before the game was originally not the turn of Anxi, but there was no way. Now the hottest basketball player in the United States and the world is Anxi, and Doris Burke stopped Anxi directly on the sidelines.

"Ann, can I ask you a few questions?" Anxi and Doris Burke are also old acquaintances. As the best player of the 76ers, Anxi has to participate in post-match interviews on the sidelines in almost every game. One of the well-known hosts of Na Sports, in most of the sessions, either Doris Burke or Craig Sager interviewed Anxi.

Therefore, facing the request of the old acquaintance, Anxi naturally refused, he nodded, and then stopped on the sidelines.

"What do you think of this game?" Doris Burke asked a very brief question.

An Xi raised his eyebrows. Although this question is simple, An Xi knows that it is not so easy to answer.

He thought for a while, and then slowly said: "The Blazers are a very powerful opponent. They are now third in the Western Conference, second only to the Spurs and Thunder. This game is destined to be a difficult game for us. Competition, but we will work hard to win ~www.ltnovel.com~ and will not give up until the last minute."

"What do you think of the controversy that some North American fans have about you?" Doris Burke finally asked this controversial question.

Anxi didn’t hesitate this time. He had already figured out how to answer: “The All-Star Voting King made them sensitive, but I don’t think this is the original sin. I will use my performance to prove that I am worthy of the Voting King. honor."

But after saying this, Anxi immediately regretted it.

Your performance?

Anxi thought for a while, except for winning the game, there was nothing left to perform.

And if this game does not win, it is conceivable that criticisms against Anxi will be overwhelming after the game. Although it is quiet now, the feeling of wind and rain is still very obvious.

But the difficulty of winning this game, Anxi couldn’t imagine. The Trail Blazers with 26 wins and 7 losses led the 76ers by a notch, and they were also in good shape. Anxi could only do his best. His last answer was, He has also pushed himself to the edge of the cliff, this game must be won. (To be continued.)
