Super Role Player

With the Cavaliers' offense, Kelly Owen used Love's pick-and-roll to break inside.

However, the 76ers' starting point guard Ismail Smith is not a poor defensive player. On the contrary, Ismail Smith can stay in the 76ers by relying on his perimeter defense.

Therefore, Irving rushed to the inside against Ismail Smith's defense, and finally failed to find a good opportunity.

Irving also did not choose to be strong, but an outward ball, handing the basketball to LeBron James.

After LeBron James received the ball, he faced Anxi.

Anxi has already switched defenses in front of James. Anxi is very clear about the core points of the Cavaliers in this game. When the Big Three just completed the break-in, LeBron James was the only core of the Cavaliers. Therefore, if Anxi can be able to By staring at James on his own, the 76ers will have a chance to win.

LeBron James catches the ball, a fake shot trying to shake Anxi, but Anxi is not fooled.

With this degree of fake action, as long as Anxi is dedicated to defending, he will not be deceived into getting away from the defensive center of gravity. Therefore, Anxi still stands firmly in front of LeBron James.

Seeing that Anxi didn't respond, James glanced at the 76ers' defense and rushed to the basket with the ball. It seemed that he still wanted to take advantage of his physical condition to force Anxi a goal.

Although James is often ridiculed by fans for a six-step layup, his strength is very strong. Compared with a tank, many NBA players can't guard LeBron James because they can't stop LeBron James. Strong sudden.

However, today's Anxi is not an ordinary NBA player. He is also very powerful today. When James rushed to the basket, Anxi went up.

He didn't let it go all the way to the inside. James layup against Anxi's defense, but after rushing to the inside, facing Anxi's tough counterattack, LeBron James's layup was missed and missed!

The basketball hit the edge of the backboard and fell straight off.

Anxi grabbed the rebound and grabbed the rebound.

Then An Xi turned around and launched a counterattack.

The Cavaliers returned to defense very quickly, and Anxi launched the fast break at the backcourt, so when he rushed to the frontcourt with the ball, all five Cavaliers had returned to defense.

However, An Xi didn't stop, and just as the Cavaliers just returned to defense, an outside line accelerated and rushed in.

The Cavaliers quickly made up the defense. After attracting countless defenses, Anxi passed the ball to Jack Lauder, who cut around the bottom line. Jack Lauder rushed to the basket and slammed the basketball into the hoop.

At 8:10, there are only 2 points left.

Looking back, the Cavaliers attacked, LeBron James and Love played the pick-and-roll on the right side. After the split, LeBron James returned the basketball. Kevin Love directly stepped on the outside line and made a two-point shot.

On the 76ers, Anxi singled out Sean Marion and scored another goal outside.

Then, James and Love came to a pick-and-roll cooperation from the outside, staggered Anxi's defense, and rushed into the basket to succeed.

At 14:10, the Cavaliers have maintained a 4-point lead.

Another wave of offense by the 76ers, Anxi scored the ball after attracting the defense at mid-range, and Ismael Smith missed an open jumper from the outside.

Inside, Norens Knoll took off the rebound, and then passed the basketball to Anxi. Anxi's mid-range shot but failed to make it. This time the rebound is not for the 76ers. Andre Varejao protected it. A defensive rebound after a second offense.

The 76ers’ offense didn’t score, but the Cavaliers failed to make a fast break. Owen slowly controlled the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Then, he beckoned Love to pull it out and coordinated with him for a pick-and-roll cooperation. Went in.

This time Anxi was defending Love, so after Irving rushed into the inside of the pick and roll, Anxi followed.

Owen rushed into the inside, and soon he encountered Norens Knoll's defense, and Anxi was chasing him behind him. Owen quickly changed his direction while advancing at high speed, swaying Norens Knoll. After that, he slipped to the bottom line and rushed to the basket.

Immediately, he was ready to start his hands on the basket.

An Xi aimed at this opportunity, leaned forward, and then stretched out his right hand. Taking advantage of his height, he slapped the basketball fan.

A burst of cheers broke out on the scene. In this game, Anxi's defensive end was very good. He defended the Cavaliers' Big Three for several rounds of offense, and the defensive end was truly ubiquitous.

Many people are surprised. When has Anxi's defensive end been so active? If it's just that, Anxi is also active offensively, scoring consecutively.

Both offensive and defensive ends are extremely active, and Anxi's performance is amazing.

In fact, in this game, Anxi was able to take care of both offense and defense at the same time. It was also because of the 200% physical bonus that he could ignore the impact of physical fitness on himself, running around the court, making up defenses, and attacking in singles. ...

The Cavaliers failed to score and the basketball was snatched by the 76ers.

Anxi launched a counterattack, another fast break. He directly passed the basketball to the front court. It was Jack Lauder. He rushed to the Cavaliers' half court for the first time. After receiving Anxi's pass, the front was empty and he was suffocating. Rush into the restricted area, and then jump up in one step.

The shot seemed to smash the basketball towards the hoop.

Clang, dunk!

There was a blast, and the Wachovia Arena was boiling.

At 12:14, the score was chased to only 2 points left.

But until now, the Cavaliers are still in the lead, so the Cavaliers' offense is still not impatient, Kelly Irving pushed the ball to the frontcourt, and then handed the basketball to LeBron James.

LeBron James was another pick-and-roll offense. After staggering Anxi's defense, he rushed into the post, faced Norens Knoll's defense, made a tomahawk-style slash and returned a goal.

But soon, with the 76ers' offense, Anxi began to hold the ball alone on the offensive end. He singled out Sean Marion, and then quickly used Jack Lauder's pick-and-roll to accelerate into the interior.

Jack Lauder's pick-and-roll quality is not high, and Sean Marion who defended Anxi still followed.

However, it was reluctant to follow, forcing the Cavaliers to double-team Anxi who hit the basket.

When Anxi saw LeBron James double-teaming, he took another step. When James was close, he suddenly hit the ground and passed the ball behind LeBron James.

It was Jack Lauder again. After giving Anxi the pick-and-roll, he started air-cutting and rushed to the basket. When Anxi attracted LeBron James’ double-team, he became unmarked and extremely unmarked. Close to the basket.

So, after receiving Anxi's ground pass, Jack Lauder's handling was very simple.

With another bang, Jack Lauder dunks the basketball into the hoop and scored another 2 points.

At 14:16, the 76ers are still 2 points behind.

And until the end of the first quarter, the 76 talents struggled to completely return the 2 points difference.

At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers tied the Cavaliers with 25:25.

For the team's performance in the first quarter ~www.ltnovel.com~ Cavaliers coach David Blatter is not satisfied, and for the 76ers, Anxi is also not satisfied with his own performance.

In the commentary, Kenny Smith felt that the 76ers played very well in the first quarter, but Shaquille O'Neal was disappointed. He felt that he did not see the Cavaliers open the points, but did not meet his expectations.

So, during the break, O'Neal began to keep saying: "I really didn't expect the 76ers to perform so well in the first quarter, especially Anxi, he can be seen on both ends of the offense and defense. , He did a great job! LeBron James is somewhat limited by him, and he has to get a chance through the pick and roll offense. LeBron James like this is not the LeBron James I am familiar with..."

In short, the 76ers performed well in the first quarter, and the Cavaliers did not perform as expected in the first quarter.

But at the end, Shaquille O’Neal added another sentence: “Of course, the later the game is, the more the Cavaliers dominate, because Anxi can’t run the entire game all over the court...”

Obviously, Shaquille O'Neal is still not optimistic about the 76ers.

But at this time, on the bench, Brett Brown was already silently reviewing himself...
