Super Role Player

In the final game of the Devil's schedule in December, the 76ers went to Oakland to challenge the current No. 1 Warriors in the West.

The 76ers have lost two games with a record of 20 wins and 2 losses so far, ranking first in the league, while the Warriors have a record of 19 wins and 3 losses, losing one more game than the 76ers, which happens to be second in the league.

As a result, this direct confrontation between the two teams has become a battle for the first place among the East and West teams, and also a battle for the league's first place.

Before this game, the Warriors had a day off. Compared with the 76ers who had two battles and traveled long distances in two days, they had some physical advantages.

Oakland, adjacent to San Francisco, is rumored that the Warriors’ new owner has always wanted to move the team to San Francisco across the bridge. However, due to financial and arena constraints, it has not been able to take shape. In fact, even if the Warriors are in Oakland, it’s attractive. Most of the fans are also from San Francisco.

San Francisco is the largest Chinese settlement in the United States. It has the largest number of Chinese in the United States. In the past, Anxi came to San Francisco to play games and always turned the Oracle Arena into his second home. However, this season has been different.

As the Warriors' record progressed by leaps and bounds, the 76ers and Anxi became one of the Warriors' biggest opponents. The influence of American local thinking was very heavy. Therefore, in front of the Warriors, the 76ers and Anxi also became enemies.

With the appearance of Anxi, there were boos in the Oracle Arena, only a few cheers in the corner, showing the number of local Chinese.

And when An Xi waved at the group of Chinese, the boo in the arena was actually even louder. An Xi smiled and didn't care.

James Anderson, who had just returned from injury, smacked his lips: "These Golden State fans, are you afraid of you? Ann?"

An Xi shook his head: "Don't be kidding James, this game is not easy to play..."

Anxi saw the fighting spirits Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, as well as the Drummond Green who made great progress this season.

Anxi walked over, greeted Curry and the others, and chatted a few words.

"Stephen, you played well this year, a big dark horse." Anxi called the Warriors a big dark horse. The implication is obvious. Anxi does not recognize the Warriors as a strong team.

Stephen Curry didn't argue with An Xi either. He gritted his braces and looked like a bad boy. He whimpered and said, "Don't play word games with me, Ann!"

At this moment, Drummond Green came over from the other side. Drummond Green was so dark that when he grinned and smiled, he showed white teeth. It was funny. Anxi thought, Della Mondgrin can even advertise for black toothpaste.

Drummond Green’s trash talking ability is much better than Stephen Curry. As soon as he saw Anxi, he replied: "Ann, we will press you hard against the floor of the Oracle Arena for this game. of!"

Anxi waved his hand and ignored the Warriors' players. However, from the words of Stephen Curry and Drummond Green, he could see that the Warriors were vigorous and positive.

The starting players of both sides exchanged greetings, and they all got their positions on the court.

The Warriors’ success this season depends on their offensive and defensive starting lineup, starting point guard Stephen Curry, shooting guard Klay Thompson, small forward Harrison Barnes, power forward Drummond Green and Center Andrew Bogut.

Except for center Bogut, the other four players can shoot from beyond the three-point line. Except for Stephen Curry, the other four players have a certain one-on-one single defense ability and a certain degree of assistance. That's it. An excellent offensive and defensive lineup helped the Warriors achieve an outstanding record of 19 wins and 3 losses.

For the 76ers, McAway and Pau Gasol have not yet returned. This game Brett Brown gave the team a regular starting lineup, starting point guard Ismail Smith, shooting guard Anxi, small forward Jack Lauder, power forward Channing Frye and center Nourens Knoll, starting point guard with Ismael Smith, naturally considered the defense against Stephen Curry.

In the Warriors' offense, Curry's offensive with the ball is still very important. It is obviously the safest way to send Ismail Smith to guard all the time.

At the beginning of the game, Nollens Knoll and Andrew Bogut jumped the ball, but Andrew Bogut, who had evolved into a floor-flow inside line, first dialed back the basketball and grabbed the right to the opening first.

Anxi retreated quickly and faced Klay Thompson.

Klay Thompson also ushered in an explosion this season. The scoring data of 22.7 points per game so far means Klay Thompson is advancing on the road of all-star shooting guards. This also means that Anxi’s task in this game is to prevent death. Lai Thompson is the new star in the second position.

Klay Thompson's offensive ability with the ball is not strong, he is better at throwing the ball without the ball, and the Warriors Drummond Green and Stephen Curry are excellent passers, which gives Klay Thompson's good living space, of course, also greatly increased the defensive pressure on Anxi in this game.

The Warriors played a simple outside pick-and-roll tactic at the beginning of the game. After the pick-and-roll was opened, the ball was handed over to Curry. Curry took a step in, and directly stopped the jumper and shot, with a bang, and went out of the basket.

Norrence Knoll steadily protected the rebound, and then passed the basketball to Anxi.

And then, what Anxi has to face is the young and powerful wing of the Warriors. Klay Thompson and Harrison Barnes are both above-standard single-defense players. Anxi also knows that Andre is still sitting on the Warriors bench. Iguodala, this game he is destined to be beaten by the Warriors on the offensive end.

In the first offense, Klay Thompson defended Anxi. He was close to Anxi and didn't give Anxi too much room for display.

Anxi chose to fight with his back, he turned around and pushed forward two steps, and then suddenly turned over and shot a jumper.

Klay Thompson's defense is in place, and Anxi hasn't found a touch in the opening game, and the ball is also an iron.

The two teams hit the iron one after another, and the Warriors who grabbed the rebound started their offense again.

At this time, the Warriors coach Steve Kerr on the sidelines frowned. An Xi did not score his first goal, but he could tell that Klay Thompson was struggling to defend Anxi and Anxi’s back-up singles. Very strong, Steve Kerr even felt that Anxi's post-up singles was better than his No. 23 teammate.

Steve Kerr also knows that there are still many weapons in Anxi's offensive arsenal. Perhaps the most rare game for the Warriors is to prevent Anxi from being killed.

The Warriors’ offense, Drummond Green’s outside line is another high-quality screen, or Stephen Curry. He moved a step laterally to accelerate the breakthrough of Ismail Smith’s defense. This time, Stephen Curry’s breakthrough was very firm. After rushing to the inside, he avoided Norens Knoll's supplementary block and threw the basketball into the hoop.

After the goal was scored, the Warriors scored the first point of the game, and the Oracle Arena was boiling.

And then ~www.novelmtl.com~Norrensnoll reluctantly patted his hand, turned around to pick up the ball, and served in the backcourt.

Ismail Smith controlled the ball to the front court and then passed the basketball to Anxi. Anxi did not hesitate and started another wave of singles.

He took a three-threat pose from outside the three-point line, and then extended a probing step. After Klay Thompson shook his defensive center of gravity, Anxi accelerated and rushed toward the inside.

At this time, Harrison Barnes on the other side quickly assisted in defense.

Anxi didn't even look at Harrison Barnes, so he rushed for another step, and then directly passed the ball without looking at people, and threw the basketball to Jack Lauder, who was already open in front of him.

Jack Lauder leaped slightly and shot the basketball from beyond the three-point line.

Then, the white net flower turned over made all the Warriors fans on the scene open their mouths and the ball was scored! Three points!

Jack Lauder has been in a very hot state recently. An Xi assisted in the opening of this game, helping him to get three points straight! The excellent state of the two teams also made a good start for this game.
