Super Role Player

The reason why the Miami Heat appeared in second place in the East was because they played well in the preseason.

In 8 preseason games, they won 8 games, and they have a strong momentum. Ruel Deng averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in 8 games. It can be regarded as a successful replacement for LeBron James to a certain extent, but the most What surprises the Heat is that Ruel Deng and Chris Bosh are not as incompatible as LeBron James. With Ruel Deng averaging 20 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists per game, Chris Bosh also averages. 24 points and 7 rebounds.

With the strength of the Big Three in full play, it is not surprising that Zachlovi is more optimistic about the Heat.

The data of the 76ers in the preseason test tactics were very poor. The reason why Zachlowi ranked the 76ers in third was naturally because the 76ers had a plot to practice tactics, otherwise the ranking would be even lower.

Zachlovi has always been known for his authority, but his prediction rankings this time have made people surprised. Therefore, many people cannot understand the direction of the 76ers in the new season. After all, whether it is from signings or from tactical changes, the new The 76ers in the season seem to have not changed much. Even if there are changes, they are all changes with unknown effects. What is the record of the 76ers in the new season is still unknown.

After all eight preseason games are over, the regular season schedule for the new season is also released.

It's not a coincidence that the 76ers' opponent in the first game of the season is the opponent of last season's finals, Anxi's old club Spurs. However, in the first game of the season, the 76ers are away games. They have to finish the Spurs and then return to home to face the New York Nick It’s only possible to get the championship ring of your own when you are in the Sri Lanka team.

Although Anxi already has two championship rings, this does not prevent him from looking forward to the third championship ring. In order to celebrate this hard-won championship, Josh Harris specially invited someone to design and design. Except for a distinctive championship ring.

Before the first game of the regular season, the 76ers' 15-man roster was released.

Ismail Smith eventually stayed on the team, he stayed on the team relying on his active and defensive on the field.

In the end, it was Ronny Turiaf and Glenn Robinson III who were naturally out.

The final list of the Fifteenth National Congress of the 76ers is as follows:

Point guards: McAway, Louis Williams, Sean Livingston, Ismail Smith;

Shooting guards: Anxi, James Anderson, Troy Daniels;

Small forwards: Jack Lauder, Evan Turner, Francisco Garcia;

Power forwards: Pau Gasol, Channing Frye;

Centers: Norens Knoll, Cole Aldridge, Joel Embiid.

Samsinki decided not to use the injury exception for Joel Embiid for the time being, and the 15-man roster was filled.

Brett Brown also worked out the team's rotation plan for the new season.

The Sixers' signings in the new season are almost all around the team's bench. The newly introduced Louis Williams, Evan Turner and Channing Frye have all strengthened the team's bench depth.

Therefore, what worries Brett Brown is coming. Last season, the 76ers' main rotation did not lose. In the new season, there are three more players who can enter the main rotation. Obviously, Brett Brown needs to consider the new season. Who is the main rotation player?

For the time being, Brett Brown is ready to adopt the *change method, whoever plays well, who will play subtly, complete a streamlining of the rotation lineup.

Therefore, before the start of the first game of the new season, Brett Brown announced in the locker room.

"In this game, each of you has a chance to play. The first few games of the season will be your chance to prove yourself. I will determine an eight-man rotation or nine-man rotation after a few games."

Brett Brown said very clearly that the first few games of the season are opportunities for the rotation players to prove themselves.

Therefore, everyone is holding back their energy, ready to prove themselves in the next game.

At ATT Arena, the opening game between the 76ers and the Spurs begins here.

There are still two openers starting on the same day, namely Magic vs. Pelicans and Rockets vs. Lakers. So, in contrast, the 76ers vs. Spurs are the highlight of the day.

Before the game, after Anxi played at the Spurs home court, there was still a lot of noise, cheers and boos. Obviously, the Spurs and Spurs fans’ feelings for Anxi are complicated. On the one hand, they look back at Anxi’s presence in the Spurs On the other hand, they will not forget the painful defeat of last season.

Some people still remember Anxi's achievements, so they cheered Anxi; others only remember that Anxi defeated themselves last season, so they booed.

When we came to the hometown, Anxi naturally had some exchanges with old friends.

Last season, Anxi defeated the Spurs personally, and the two teams are considered to have forged some beams, but the relationship between Anxi and the old players of the Spurs is still very good.

After talking a few words on both sides, the game began.

In the new season, a newcomer has appeared in the 76ers' starting lineup, but compared to the previous season, the overall change in the 76ers' lineup is not big, with only a center forward.

The point guards are still McAway, shooting guard Anxi, small forward Jack Lauder, power forward Paul Gasol and center Norens Knoll. The only change is Nollens Knoll. The 76ers value Knoll very much. Knoll The lower limit is at least a qualified starting center.

On the Spurs side, their starting lineup is also very fixed, with point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Danny Green, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Boris Diaw and center Tim Duncan.

The original starting center Thiago Splitter missed the game due to injury, so the Spurs allowed Dior to appear in the starting lineup. Therefore, for the 76ers, the biggest challenge they have to face in this game It was the Spurs' offense.

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the Spurs won the jump ball. After Tony Parker held the ball, an unexpected pass was passed to Boris Dior, who cut into the interior. Only with this pass, the 76ers' defense was completely destroyed. Ripped apart.

Boris Dior rushed into the penalty area, attracted the defense and scored the ball.

Duncan, who turned to the middle distance, received the ball, made a mid-range shot, and made a successful hit with a scream!

The Spurs scored, and this wave of defense of the 76ers also caused some fans to complain: the defense of the 76ers is papery?

The 76ers' defense is indeed too bad. The Spurs pass in two passes, which is an opportunity. Fortunately, the next is the 76ers' offense. The 76ers can hit the ball back on the offensive end.

Amidst the cheers of the fans on the sidelines, McAway passed the half-court with the ball and then handed the basketball to Anxi.

Anxi opened the singles. This is his first singles of the season. Everything is familiar. The defender he faces is still Kawhi Leonard. The two have played against each other several times in the finals. Now, one summer has passed, Kawhi Leonard continued to improve, and the progress of Anxi at its peak was not so great.

So, for the first singles in the opening game, Anxi was unexpectedly defended by Kawhi Leonard. Anxi broke through, then turned back and slipped directly backwards, then turned back and shot, but at the moment Anxi turned back. , Kawhi Leonard quickly shot out and snapped the basketball directly.

There was an exclamation in the ATT Arena first, and when the Spurs fans saw what was happening on the field, cheers suddenly sounded.

"Kawhi Leonard defended Anxi's offense! Beautiful cut! Offensive and defensive conversion!"

The live commentator Sean Elliott was very excited. This was a successful defense.

Immediately afterwards, the game continued.

After Kawhi Leonard cut the ball, the Spurs grabbed the ball and the counterattack began immediately.

After a quick counterattack, the Spurs scored 2 more points and opened 4:0.

The 76ers' offense still gave the ball to Anxi.

Kawhi Leonard’s defense began to put Anxi under pressure. An Xi clearly felt Kawhi Leonard’s progress compared to last season’s finals. Kawhi Leonard’s defensive pressure on Anxi seemed to be Bigger.

However, Anxi did not back down. The 76ers' tactical play was determined at the beginning of the game. The pick-and-roll tactics were the mainstay. Brett Brown also asked Anxi to pass more.

Therefore, Anxi sought a pick-and-roll screen for this ball, and with the help of Pau Gasol's screen, an accelerated rushed in.

Kawhi Leonard entangled Anxi to death. He showed his improvement over the past summer. Anxi's pick-and-rolls were excellent, but he could not completely pass Kawhi Leonard all at once.

After Anxi rushed into the inside in three or two steps, he realized the pressure that Kawhi Leonard was putting on him behind him. An Xi gave up the idea of ​​making a strong shot. The inside jumped up, avoiding Kawhi Leonard's interference, and passed the basketball. Got out.

Split the ball! Pau Gasol was given a high post, and Gasol didn't make a mid-range jumper.

The scene was cheered again.

Although Kawhi Leonard did not defend An Xi's attack head-on, An Xi passed the ball. In many people's eyes, An Xi felt the pressure from Kawhi Leonard to avoid his edge.

Therefore, a group of people cheered in excitement.

Kawhi Leonard's successful defense is not over yet, two consecutive waves of offense are not good, Anxi has also moved to fight a wave of thoughts.

So, facing Kawhi Leonard's defense, Anxi pushed forward forcibly, then turned his back, shook Kawhi Leonard and rushed into the inside, and then made an emergency stop jumper.

But in the next second, with a bang, Kawhi Leonard rushed from behind Anxi, and directly shot the basketball off.

With a bang, enthusiastic cheers rang out in the ATT arena.

Kawhi Leonard also waved his arm excitedly, once again successfully defending! Compared to last season's finals, which was completely exploded by Anxi, he can be said to have won the first three duels of this game.

Sean Elliott is also very happy. Kawhi Leonard's improvement is in his eyes. Three successful defenses. Kawhi Leonard's restraint on Anxi is what the Spurs need now.

And Turner Sports commentator Magic Johnson called out a title at this time: "Anxi Terminator!"

"Three successful defenses, Kawhi Leonard may become the first Anxi Terminator!"

Every NBA superstar who has ruled a stage will have a group of terminator, such as Kobe terminator Shawn Battier, Lagabele and Aron Afflalo, and also such as the James Terminator, the former Anxi and JJ Barea .

Now, after Kawhi Leonard has successfully defended for three consecutive times, he is expected to become the first finisher in Anxi's career.

But at this time, on the field, the Spurs opened the 76ers 6-0, and Anxi's subsequent strong hit was also taken by Kawhi Leonard. At this moment, Anxi became serious, and of course he felt Kawhi. Leonard's improvement, but Anxi also knows that even if Kawhi Leonard continues to improve, he can also break through Kawhi Leonard's defense, because Anxi is now a kaleidoscope of offensive end...

The 76ers have 7 seconds left on the offense, and they serve from the sideline.

Anxi still resolutely asked for the ball, and the 76ers did not hesitate to continue to hand the ball to Anxi.

In 7 seconds, Anxi held the ball outside the three-point line. When the time was up to the last 3 seconds, Anxi slammed and shot directly!

Kawhi Leonard was naturally unable to cover Anxi with this ball, but his interference with his best efforts still had some impact on Anxi.

It's just that Anxi's current three-pointer is 99 points full, and the strength is strong, and it is not at all that ordinary interference can interfere.

So, after a while, there was a brushing sound, a crisp net wiping sound, and the ball was scored!

An Xi hit a three-pointer. He shot too strong for this one. After being defended by Kawhi Leonard in a row, Anxi chose a strong shot and scored!

There was no sound in the room, leaving only a boil on the 76ers' bench.

Goal in! 3:6, the 76ers are 3 points behind.

Then came the Spurs' offense.

Tony Parker gave the basketball to Kawhi Leonard. At this time Leonard faced Jack Lauder's defense, took the ball with his back, and after slowly advancing for two steps, he suddenly turned his back and shook his face for a while. , Only slowly jumped up and threw the basketball out.

This is a stand-up jumper after a card-frame version of the back-up singles. Although the action does not look smooth, it still makes it.

Only a scream was heard~www.ltnovel.com~ The basketball went through the net.

Goal in! 8:3.

Popovich on the sidelines clapped his hands. Kawhi Leonard's first autonomous attack of this game, the result was very satisfactory to him.

In fact, since the Anxi Finals exploded last season, Popovich has also begun to reflect on himself. Is he over-repressing the stars in the team? If Anxi was given more opportunities to perform, or Anxi hopes to leave At the time, give some promises on the ball, maybe Anxi can stay with the Spurs.

Unfortunately, there is no if.

Therefore, Popovich felt that he should cherish the present, and Kawhi Leonard is now.

No matter how good Anxi’s performance is now, even if Kawhi Leonard is completely blown by Anxi, Popovich always believes that Kawhi Leonard will become a historical superstar. Now, Popovich has decided, Give Kawhi Leonard more opportunities to develop his personal abilities, which is also one of Popovich's biggest changes this season.

From the beginning of the game, Popovich’s decision was correct...
