Brett Brown did not pursue the responsibility of which player, because the 76ers actually lost 18? in experience since the opening game. They were led by the veteran eagle and the eagle with a more mature system.

Brett Brown is also very clear that there is only one way to solve the current dilemma.

"Ann, next you step up your personal offense, play more singles, and create opportunities for your teammates through singles." Brett Brown’s approach is simple, is to let Anxi strengthen his personal offense and let Anxi play more. At least Brett Brown believes that Anxi’s. The point is still very stable.

As for defense, Brett Brown didn't seem to be able to do much, he could only emphasize man-to-man defense again, and then ended the timeout.

After the timeout, the two teams did not change. An Xi held the ball directly from the backcourt. He wanted to strengthen his personal offense according to Brett Brown's arrangement.

Demare Carroll posted it. This is the first point Anxi has to solve.

Anxi beckoned and signaled his teammates to pull away. Soon, his teammates dispersed and cleared the inside line.

The threat of Anxi’s offensive end is still quite big. Demarais Carroll is a little nervous. Anxi noticed this tension. He stretched out a probing step and tentatively shook Carol. As a result, Carol stepped back. After retreating to the three-point line, Anxi was not polite, and directly took back the probing step, leaped one step at a time, and shot the three-pointer.

"Anxi's three-pointer!" Charles Barkley yelled. The ball was an open three-pointer, and he felt basically there.

With a scream, sure enough, the ball was scored!

"A three-pointer! After the timeout, Anxi directly used a three-pointer to help the 76ers narrow the gap!"

Anxi thumped his chest to celebrate, and walked towards the backcourt, and the Wachovia Arena burst into a huge cheer again.

As the cheers stopped, the Eagles' attack began.

The Hawks are still unhurried, all sorts of frontcourt transfers, organizing the offense.

On the left, DeMarre Carroll and Al Horford did a ball-free pick-and-roll. After the pick-and-roll, it was a direct match. Jeff Teague scored the ball directly to Al Horford. Horford defended against Jack Lauder. He made a CIC with a sound.

At 13:7, the Eagles continue to lead.

With the 76ers' offense, Anxi continued to do it on his own. The Eagles strengthened their defense against Anxi. They always have another player on the flank that threatens Anxi's offense.

However, Anxi didn't care, and he accelerated and broke through DeMarre Carroll's defense. Although Carroll continued to cling to Anxi, Anxi turned around and made a successful hook for the basket.

Then, the Eagles finally hit the iron, the score was still 13:9, the 76ers bit the score.

After the timeout, Anxi scored 5 points in a row, and Mike Budenholzer began to shout from the sidelines, asking his players to increase their defense against Anxi.

So this time, after Anxi broke through, Kyle Korver doubled over.

Double teamwork! Anxi did not choose to pass the ball. Instead, relying on his own physical advantage, he continued to squeeze into the penalty area, and then directly defended against DeMarre Carroll and Kyle Korver.

With a snap, the basketball flew out!

"This? Is it a shot?" Charles Barkley on the sidelines didn't see much clearly, but the referee Lauren Holtkamp of the bottom line saw it clearly and blew the whistle directly.

With a beep, Lauren Hotkamp signaled Kyle Korver for a foul.

Now Kyle Korver quit.

He spread his arms and walked toward Lauren Holtkamp aggressively with questions.

As a rookie referee who has just enforced two NBA games, Lauren Hotkamp is a bit nervous, but she is sure that Kyle Korver fouled. When he shot the basketball, he directly shot Anxi's arm.

Just as Lauren Hotkamp wanted to explain something, Anxi directly grabbed Kyle Korver. Now Lauren Hotkamp became more nervous, and with a whistle in his mouth, he was about to blow.

Anxi grabbed Kyle Korver and showed her arm: "Hey, buddy, my arms are all red."

At this moment, Kyle Korver had nothing to say, turned around and left.

Lauren Holtkamp breathed a sigh of relief, and then showed a grateful look at Anxi. As a rookie referee, especially a female referee, Lauren Holtkamp is most afraid that others will question her judgment.

Anxi walked to the free throw line, Lauren Hotkamp blew a whistle, and then passed the basketball to Anxi.

Anxi began to execute the free throw, slapped the basketball twice, then held the basketball from top to bottom, tiptoes slightly up, and shot the free throw.

With a scream, he steadily hit the penalty.

There was a round of applause from the sidelines, Anxi gave a high-five with his teammates, and the sidelines also began to change.

Since the opening game, McAway’s performance is a bit bad. It can be said to be completely suppressed by Jeff Teague. The extremely fast Jeff Teague can almost pass McAway as soon as he accelerates. With such a bad defense, McAway's offensive performance also failed to play out.

Brett Brown thought about it for a while and replaced him with Sean Livingston.

The position of the point guard is currently the best position on the bench for the 76ers. The three point guards are very strong and have their own characteristics. McAway is all-around, Tony Roten is quite aggressive, and Sean Livingston is more aggressive than the other two. People, the advantage is the experience and the control of the rhythm.

Now Brett Brown replaced Sean Livingston, the purpose is to control the rhythm, and use Livingston's experience to block out Jeff Teague, who must advance every time.

After the substitution, Anxi began to execute the second penalty.

Still took two shots, and then directly shot a free throw, with a scream, and continued to hit accurately.

Two free throws were made and the score became 13:11. The 76ers were only 2 points behind.

However, the Eagles are still strong. After the 76ers replaced Livingston, the perimeter defense improved. Jeff Teague broke through and was directly stopped by Sean Livingston.

But then Al Horford mentioned the high position and directly screened for a pick-and-roll. Jeff Teague turned a large margin past Sean Livingston and made a throw to meet the defending Cole Aldridge.

When the basketball flew out, Cole Aldridge couldn't control his figure and directly slammed into Jeff Teague.

With a beep, it was Lauren Holtkamp on the bottom line again. She blew Cole Aldridge's foul.

Did not make the throw.

But this time, Lauren Hotkamp’s penalty is questionable, because Cole Aldridge crashed into Jeff Teague after Jeff Teague made a shot, so the foul of the ball is not admissible. Sentenced, but Lauren Holtkamp blew, there is nothing left to say.

But Cole Aldridge was not convinced. He felt that his defense was okay. It was the rookie female referee who made the wrong decision. She was tall and found Lauren Holtkamp.

This time Anxi did not intervene. He smiled and watched Cole Aldridge pressure Lauren Holtkamp and questioned the female referee's penalty, but the foul was an unchangeable fact.

So, soon, Jeff Teague got to the free throw line and made two free throws.

At 15:11, the Hawks continued to maintain a 4-point lead.

With the 76ers, Anxi continued to play singles. This time it was still a double-team, but Anxi turned around and missed a jumper, and there was a sigh from the Wachovia Arena.

This made Anxi a little depressed. Brett Brown yelled from the sidelines, demanding that Anxi score the ball after encountering a double-team. Anxi nodded to express his understanding.

The Hawks’ offense, a 4-point lead, obviously couldn’t satisfy them. Jeff Teague took the ball to the front court, and after observing the 76ers’ defense, he directly gave the basketball to Al Horford, who was in a good low post, and Horford’s low offense. Very good. After the back hit, Cole Aldridge didn't react at all with a small hook, and the basketball got into the basket with a scream.

At 17:11, the Eagles expanded their lead.

After switching to the 76ers' offense, Anxi took the ball with his back, and the Eagles directly doubled Anxi.

DeMarre Carroll and Jeff Teague leaned sideways to grab the basketball in Anxi's hands. Anxi looked up and protected the basketball in his hands. At this time, the Eagles had already filled up the defensive loopholes near Anxi.

Anxi made a high pass, and Sean Livingston raised his hand to receive the basketball. Facing Kyle Korver's defense, he directly dribbled the ball to catch a turn, and then turned over for a jumper.

With a scream, the goal was actually scored!

Charles Barkley was taken aback. He felt that Sean Livingston’s back and turn jumper was considered the best in the league for this shot alone. The movement was smooth, the turn was neat, and the shot was very high and difficult to be blocked. It looked very good. It is chic.

On the field, Anxi gave Sean Livingston a thumbs up, because the first 11 points of the game were taken by Anxi, and Sean Livingston's 2 points broke the scoring shortage of other 76ers.

The Hawks’ offense came quickly. They once again caught a defensive error by the 76ers. After rotating the defense, the 76ers missed Demare Carroll, Demare Carroll’s three-pointer, and Anxi pounced. It passed, but it was still a step too late.

With a clear sound, the basketball hits, 20:13! The Eagles continue to maintain the lead.

Anxi watched the eagle who celebrated wildly and played vigorously, and immediately passed the basketball in the backcourt.

Holding the ball to the frontcourt, Sean Livingston gave Anxi a pick-and-roll screen directly at the top of the arc. Anxi moved a step laterally with the help of the screen, stepped on the three-point line and shot directly. DeMarre Carroll didn't interfere with it. To work.

With a scream, An Xi's jumper hit, and the referee judged it was a long-range two-pointer.

After the two-pointer hit, the point difference still didn't mean to narrow. The Eagles continued to attack. Paul Millsap's mid-range face-to-face attack, moved one step away from Thaddeus Young's defense, and made a mid-range shot at 22:15. The point difference is still 7 points.

And this 7-point difference lasted until the end of the first quarter. After the first quarter, the Eagles led the 76ers by 7 points 35:28, and the 76ers scored very concentrated in the first quarter.

Anxi scored 18 points, Sean Livingston hit 3 goals in 5 shots, and two free throws. A total of 8 points were scored. Anxi and Sean Livingston alone scored 26 of 28 points. The other two points were a dunk from the inside of Cole Aldridge, including Thaddeus Young and Jack Lauder. James Anderson, who played in the first quarter, did not score.

During the break, regaining the touch became Brett Brown's most frequent words.

In the second quarter, the 76ers chose to continue to let Anxi play to ensure the score on the court. Tony Roten and Evan Turner partnered with Anxi on the outside, plus Spencer Hawes and Byron Mullens on the inside. The 76ers launched a chasing offensive in the second quarter.

The Eagles replaced Al Horford and Jeff Teague, who had performed well in the first quarter, and replaced them with Louis Williams, the former best sixth man and backup center Gustavo Ayong. As a result, these two substitutions were made. It directly gave the 76ers a chance to chase points.

In this game, Louis Williams's state was a bit poor. He missed a three-pointer at the beginning of the second quarter, and then was quickly broken by Tony Roten with the ball and hit a 2+1 layup. The penalty was added and the point difference was straightforward. It was reduced to 5 points.

Then, the 76ers seized this opportunity, played fast breaks again and again, and continuously narrowed the points difference, forcing Mike Budenholzer to make a new substitution.

The Hawks replaced Shelvin Mark and Al Horford, replaced Kyle Korver and Paul Millsap, and then used another main force to fight the 76ers. In this way, the Hawks gradually stabilized the situation.

However, after halftime, the 76ers still narrowed the point difference. At 57:60, at halftime, the 76ers were only behind the last 3 points.

However, in the second half, the Hawks set off another counterattack. Al Horford and Paul Millsap on the inside showed off and directly beat the 76ers by 8 points in the third quarter, including the remaining 3 points in the first half. After three quarters, the 76ers fell behind. It scored 11 points for the Eagles.

Anxi didn't play much in the first half of the third quarter. Although he scored 8 points in the second half of the game, he still failed to help the team recover from its decline.

After three quarters, Anxi scored 35 points alone, but the team was still 11 points behind, so in the fourth quarter, Anxi continued to play.

Brett Brown is not at all surprised that he is still behind after three quarters of the game. There is still a big gap between the 76ers and the Hawks in terms of strength. At least the Hawks' tactical system has been formed, and the 76ers have more experience. To reach the current level of the Eagles, it will take a long time to change.

But this does not mean that the 76ers have to admit defeat. In this game, the goal of the 76ers is still victory. Although the strength can not be compared with the Hawks, the 76ers have at least one variable, that is, Anxi.

In the fourth quarter, the Hawks had the right to the first attack. Jeff Teague and Paul Millsap came with an outside pick and roll. Then Teague accelerated McAway’s defense and rushed into the inside. Hand, the basketball bypassed Cole Aldridge's hand and got into the hoop.

Cole Aldridge was a little depressed. In this game, he has always been-replenishing defense, replenishing defense, replenishing defense, and in the fourth quarter, he had to replenish defense, and the outside leakage was too serious.

Jeff Teague's throw hit, and his personal score of the game came to 27 points, completely blasting the 76ers' point guard line.

McAway advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, An Xi directly asked for the ball, and then signaled his teammates to pull away.

When the teammates were completely pulled away, Anxi took the ball directly with his back, Kyle Korver rushed over, and wanted to double-team Anxi.

An Xi immediately turned around and shot a jumper.

With a scream, the basketball slipped into the basket cleanly.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Anxi still maintained his good touch, and this turnaround jumper helped Anxi get the 37th point of the game, but the 76ers are still 11 points behind. If they really want to narrow the point difference, It must be defensive.

When turning back to defense, An Xi shouted: "Defense and defense! Keep your eyes on your people!"

But the Eagles’ offense has just begun, and the outside line is missing again. It is Jeff Teague and McAway’s defense. It is almost one step. Jeff Teague passed McAway. This game the Eagles rely on. With this fresh offense, the 76ers' defense was blown up.

After breaking through McAway's defense, Jack Lauder stepped forward to make up the defense and missed Demarai Carroll in the bottom corner. Carroll received the basketball and did not miss this opportunity.

With a light leap, three points fall into the bag.

With a score of 14 points, An Xi shook his head.

Turning to attack, Anxi faced double-teaming again after the singles. Fortunately, after the split, the air-cut McAway played a role. He received an air-cut pass from Anxi and made a direct throw.

The point difference became 12 points.

Back on the defensive end, Anxi took the initiative to apply for a defense against Jeff Teague.

But this time, Kyle Korver made a reverse run, matched Paul Millsap's off-the-ball pick-and-roll, and then accelerated to throw off Thaddeus Young, who changed his defense, and rushed beyond the touchline three-point line to receive it directly. Jeff Teague's quick pass.

Then, another three-pointer shot.

Kyle Korver, who is known for three-pointers, did not miss this opportunity, hit a three-pointer, and the contrast came to 15 points!

After two consecutive three-pointers, the 76ers' defense collapsed a bit at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Brett Brown reacted quickly and immediately called a timeout.

Then he considered for a second, and he decided to substitute immediately: "Evan, you play, replace Michael, Ann, you go to play the point guard, Evan go to the second position, play the speed, we want to chase points!"

Brett Brown shouted to chase points, the timeout ended, and the 76ers sent a weird lineup.

The 76ers originally had a relatively high starting lineup, but now Anxi is directly placed at the point guard position, and the main lineup is even higher.

The higher advantage was quickly played out. On the first goal after the timeout, Anxi directly used his height advantage to score a three-pointer on Jeff Teague's head.

Hit a three-pointer and the point difference was reduced to 12 points.

The Hawks’ offense. After the 76ers replaced Evan Turner, the outside colander was gone, and the defense was finally better. The Hawks’ offense failed to find a good opportunity. Jeff Teague faced Anxi’s defense. Shi Qiang shot the iron, the rebound was taken by Cole Aldridge.

McAway off the court saw this scene with a mixed mood.

But the entire 76ers didn't have any special views on McAway, and Brett Brown didn't mean to give up McAway, even if he suddenly became a defensive colander in this game.

In fact, poor defense is a common problem for many rookies, especially those rookies who play good numbers as soon as they enter the league. They are not unable to defend, but because they have to put their energy into the offensive end.

The Eagles missed the shot and the 76ers played another fast break. Anxi broke through to attract the defense. After the pass, Jack Lauder made a layup.

The points difference is further narrowed.

But at this time, Mike Budenholzer called a timeout directly.

Mike Budenholzer’s time-out seemed very clever. Not long after the 76ers’ time-out, after the 76ers’ continuous outstanding performance on the court, Mike Budenholzer called this time-out. On the one hand, his The timeout interrupted the offensive momentum of the newly emerging 76ers. On the other hand, Mike Budenholzer also had to make adjustments.

Mike Budenholzer's adjustment is very simple. He directly replaced Louis Williams, replaced Kyle Korver, and formed a double point guard combination. The outsider Xiaoling was against the 76ers. attack.

After the timeout, the Hawks played the offense they wanted.

Jeff Teague took possession of the ball, then passed it to Paul Millsap in the high post, then cut from both sides with Louis Williams, and a cross run came from the free throw line.

Paul Millsap hit Thaddeus Young with his back, and when the two guards ran out of opportunity, he passed the ball directly to the outside line, and Louis Williams received the ball and continued to break through.

Evan Turner, who originally defended Louis Williams, had already lost his defensive position. As a result, Cole Aldridge could only go up.

Louis Williams made a low pass, and Al Horford inside received the basketball and gently put the basketball into the hoop.

A 2-pointer hit, and the point difference was once again extended to 12 points.

The 76ers are still struggling to narrow the point difference. An Xi stormed DeMarre Carroll, hit a mid-range shot, and scored his 42nd point in the game.

However, the Eagles' offense was still sharp, Louis Williams rushed into the inside with the help of cover, and a horseback archery hit another 2 points.

The 76ers' offense, Anxi singled back, attracted a pass after the defense, and Evan Turner scored 2 points for a layup.

Then, the Eagles also scored 2 points with Al Horford's mid-range shot, and Al Horford also scored the 24th point of the game, showing a good performance.

In this way, the Hawks relied on the offense supported by their dual point guard system and directly fought the 76ers. As a result, the 76ers remained behind until the end of the game...

In the end, the 76ers lost 112:119 at home to the Hawks by 7 points.

The loss of this game was a bit frustrated. Anxi scored 47 points in the game, setting a new career scoring record. In addition, there were 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, but the team still lost. ball.

There is nothing wrong with the 76ers' offensive performance. Although some rely on Anxi too much, at least the offense that the 76ers want is gradually played out.

The problem on the defensive end was too big, McAway became a colander, and the replacement of Evan Turner in the final quarter made the defense slightly better, but the attack was still dragged by the Hawks and the game was lost. If the 76ers can do a good job defensively, this game will never end in a loss.

However, the improvement of defense has nothing to do with Anxi. Anxi's single defense is invincible, but his assisted defense is average. He can only improve the team's overall defense to a certain extent. The improvement of defense depends on the coaching staff. The defensive system just works.

After the game, Anxi swept away the depression and exchanged views with Mike Budenholzer on the sidelines.

The Eagles won this game, double-killed the 76ers this season, and overwhelmed the 76ers in the Eastern Conference rankings. Mike Budenholzer was in a good mood and gave Anxi some suggestions.

"Ann~www.novelmtl.com~ Your offense has indeed improved a lot, but there are also a lot of problems. I found that throughout the game, you didn’t make many breakthroughs, basically relying on back-up singles and outside pick-and-rolls. Screen to score, if you want to further improve your dominance of the game, you have to improve your breakthrough as soon as possible."

An Xi nodded. Breakthrough naturally requires improvement. An Xi knows very well that he has already started the breakthrough training. The guidance of Alan Iverson also benefited An Xi a lot.

"In addition, passing, your passing should have improved to a certain extent, but it is not enough." Mike Budenholzer looked at Anxi and said: "The 76ers' offense relies on you, but your passing It's difficult to create more opportunities for your teammates, especially for wide-range transfers."

"Finally, the most important point is that you have to add some defenses. The 76ers' defense is really terrible. Your single defense is good, and the defense should be good too? But it is difficult for me to see your defense in the game. ."

Hearing the last point, An Xi smiled bitterly in his heart. Mike Budenholzer took it for granted that his defense was good, but Anxi himself knew very well that his defense could not be compared with single defense at all. Perhaps the next step is to For the sake of the team's record, Anxi really wants to improve his defense... (to be continued.)
