In the game on the same day, the Pacers defeated the 75ers 122:115 in overtime at home, giving the 75ers their eighth consecutive loss to start the season.
For the Pacers, Jeff Teague scored 30 points, George contributed 28 points and 8 rebounds, and the two combined for 9 points in overtime to win.
On the 75ers side, the most anticipated player is Joel Embiid, who has been injured for two years and is also nicknamed the "Twitter King".
After announcing season reimbursement for two consecutive seasons, Joel Embiid, who was the third overall pick in the 2014 draft, finally made his NBA debut in the 2016-17 season.
The results proved that Embiid did live up to the expectations of Philadelphia fans for two years.
In the 75ers' opening game, Embiid played 22 minutes as center and scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks on 6-of-16 shooting. His performance was quite impressive.
Although Embiid played in and out in the next seven games, he still showed quite good immediate combat ability.
In the second game against the Hawks, he played 15 minutes and scored 14 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 2 blocks;
In the third game against the Magic, he played 25 minutes and scored 18 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks;
In the fifth game against the Cavaliers, Embiid directly faced off against the current second center DeMarcus Cousins. He played 25 minutes and made 7 of 13 shots, 4 of 4 three-pointers, and efficiently scored 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 assists.
1 steal and 4 blocks.
The only flaw is that there were 6 turnovers, but from the perspective of a "rookie" player, Embiid's performance is undoubtedly quite amazing.
It can be said that after this battle, Embiid succeeded in stepping on Cousins' shoulders and gained recognition from a large number of fans.
If in the past two years, fans were purely teasing and ridiculing him as the "Twitter King", then after these games, the word "Twitter" has been removed, and only the word "Great King" is left.
Joel Embiid is the emperor in the hearts of the people of Philadelphia!
In this battle with the Pacers, although the 75ers unfortunately lost and it was difficult to win a win at the beginning of the season, Embiid's performance was still quite conspicuous.
He played a total of 26 minutes in this game, setting a career high, and scored a double-double of 28 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks, earning the first double-double in his NBA career.
Although five turnovers in a single game may be a bit eye-catching, for the 75ers management and fans, Embiid completely impressed them with his performance game after game.
Embiid has become the new King of Philadelphia!
As for Jahlil Okafor, who performed well last season and averaged 17.5 and seven rebounds per game, he has been ruthlessly abandoned by them.
So far in the new season, the 75ers and Okafor's small theater is roughly as follows:
Philadelphia 75ers: "Okafor, please don't call me again. I'm afraid Embiid will misunderstand."
Okafor: "No~~~"
…
In addition to the game between the 75ers and the Pacers, there are 9 games today.
In the New York Derby, the Nets came to Madison Square Garden to challenge the Knicks away from home. With Jeremy Lin injured, the Nets had to face back-to-back games.
Fortunately, Anthony chose to leave the team in the summer, and the Knicks were severely damaged. In the end, the Nets were able to defeat the Knicks 110:96 away from home and win the New York Derby.
The Bulls and Hawks compete against each other in the Eastern Conference.
In the end, the Bulls relied on the new Big Three combination of Rose, Wade, and Davis to easily defeat the Hawks 115:101, ushering in a wave of 4 consecutive victories.
The team's record improved to 7-2, ranking second in the Eastern Conference behind the 8-1 Cleveland Cavaliers.
Yes, although it was two months later than Wang Zelin remembered, Wade finally left the Miami Heat, where he had played for 13 seasons, and chose to join his hometown team, the Chicago Bulls.
At the signing ceremony with the Bulls, Wade said he made the right choice this time.
This is the team he dreamed of as a boy, and this time he has fulfilled his boyhood dream.
Of course, Wade's return home was not only driven by the realization of his dream, otherwise he would have put on a Bulls jersey a few years ago.
Although it was two months late, the reason why Wade left the team was exactly the same as Wang Zelin.
If the NBA team is regarded as a company, then there are two reasons why players choose to leave the team. One is that the money is not paid, and the other is that they feel wronged.
There is no doubt about the Flash's loyalty to the Heat. In the past thirteen years, he has devoted all his efforts to this team and helped this team win three championship trophies. However... this summer, he faced the 1,000 offer from the Heat management.
With an annual salary of 10,000 yuan, Wade didn't feel a shred of respect.
Heat owner Mickey Arison is not short of money. He owns the world's largest yacht group. His personal assets reached 7.2 billion yuan in 2016, ranking fourth among NBA owners.
The top three are Clippers owner Ballmer, Trail Blazers owner Paul Allen and Nets owner Prokhorov.
It's just that they are unwilling to donate generously to Wade, the soul of the Heat!
In this way, Wade meets all the above two points.
Since I don't get respect in the Heat and the team is not strong enough to win the championship, it is better to return to my hometown team and play for my hometown team to fulfill my dream.
The Bulls showed great respect for Wade. Not only did they offer a two-year contract worth a total of 47.5 million yuan, the second year was also a player option.
Lang has love, concubine has intention, and Flash Wade quickly chose to return to his hometown team, forming a new Big Three with Rose and Davis, two young talents.
Even though Wade is already 34, he was still able to contribute an all-around average of 19 4 4 1 last season, and he has already proven himself in various big scenes.
During the playoffs last season, Wade's statistics in all aspects increased, averaging 21.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, and his shooting percentage also increased to 46.9%!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Whether it is Davis or Rose, they are strong, but strictly speaking, they have not seen a real big scene, and they are relatively inexperienced on the top stage.
Now, with the arrival of the legendary veteran "Flash" Dwyane Wade, who holds three championship rings, 2006 FMVP, and 10-year scoring champion, it has just made up for the Bulls' last shortcoming, giving the Bulls a new
The paper strength of the season has jumped to the top of the Eastern Conference.
The Bulls' strong performance since the start of the season has made the Bulls' championship probability continue to rise. Now they are on par with the Cavaliers. Both teams are already the first-tier teams in the Eastern Conference.
As the second-best team in the Eastern Conference, the "King of the North" Raptors came to the Western Conference away game today to challenge the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Thunder have a record of 6 wins and 2 losses since the start of the regular season, which is quite impressive. However, the Raptors unfortunately lost to the Kings in their last home game. This game is destined to be a fierce battle.
In the end, the Raptors relied on their star player, DeRozan, to show off his strength and score 37 points, helping the team defeat the Thunder 112:102.
In addition to the Pacers, Bulls, Cavaliers, and Raptors, which are recognized as strong teams in the Eastern Conference, there is also a new force rising strongly in the Eastern Conference this season.
That's...the Boston Celtics!
So far in the new season, if we were to pick a dark horse team from the East and West, the Thunder would have to be the West, while the East would be the Celtics, one of the two traditional powers in the NBA.
This summer, big players such as Durant, Anthony, and Wade left the team one after another, which turned the trade market upside down. There was muddy water everywhere, which led the Celtics to select a talented rookie Ingram in the draft.
Since then, there hasn't been any big news.
As everyone knows, the Celtics are the representatives who are quietly making a fortune in the trading market this summer.
The Celtics have strengthened through a series of transactions. In the new season, they have formed a backcourt duo of Thomas C.J. McCollum. On the front line, they have talented small forwards Ingram and blue-collar veteran Amir Johnson. In the penalty area,
The data seems to be ordinary, but in fact, Al Horford, who is the "ball blind evaluator", is in charge.
Unknowingly, the Celtics have formed a very sharp lineup, which requires offense and defense.
In addition, they also have this large group of bench gangsters, such as Jae Crowder, Marcus Smart, Kelly Olynyk, Gerald Green, Terry Rozier, Tyler Zeller
…
Each and every one of the above players is a high-quality puzzle piece.
From the main force to the rotation, the Celtics are very strong. No wonder they can suddenly emerge in the new season.
On the 10th, the Celtics faced the challenge of the Dallas Mavericks, one of the traditional powers in the Western Conference, at home. Center Horford took a rest in this game, and the situation was not good for the Celtics.
I thought it would be a game of sparks hitting the earth, but unexpectedly, the game was completely defeated by the Celtics in only three and a half quarters.
Celtics leader Isaiah Thomas played 33 minutes, made 3 of 5 three-pointers, scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, leading the team to the final easily with a score of 100:83.
The rest of the teammates performed well. CJ McCollum had 18 points and 3 assists, Olynyk had 12 points and 4 rebounds, talented rookie Ingram had 10 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists, and Amir Johnson had 7 points and 7 rebounds.
After this battle, the Celtics' record reached 5 wins and 4 losses, ranking among the top six in the Eastern Conference.
Including the Celtics, a new force, there are a total of five new and old forces in the Eastern Conference this year.
It seems that the media still underestimates the competitiveness of the Eastern Conference.
In addition to these teams, there are also several games worthy of attention in the Western Conference.
The first is the strong dialogue between the Houston Mosaic and the San Antonio Spurs away from home.
The game was extremely close, and the score difference was never widened beyond 5 points. From the beginning to the end, the lead alternated more than 10 times.
At the decisive point, with one and a half minutes left in the game, Mosaic led by 4 points. Then Harden went to the basket and caused veteran Ginobili to foul, but he actually missed two free throws.
But then, a more dramatic scene happened, and the Spurs failed to seize the opportunity. As Leonard missed the shot at the buzzer, at the end of the game, the Spurs lost to Mosaic at home 99:101.
Tonight, Harden played 41 minutes and scored a huge triple-double with 24 points, 15 assists and 12 rebounds. He scored the 10th triple-double in his career.
In addition, after this campaign, Harden had assists in double figures in five consecutive games. He also became the first Mosaic player to do this after Slippy Floyd.
In 1990, when Floyd played for the Mosaics, he had double-digit assists in five games.
For the Mosaic team, in addition to Harden, Melo is also full of firepower. He efficiently scored 38 points and 7 rebounds in 35 minutes of play, 5 of which came from Harden's direct assists.
Mosaic's twin guns shined, making the Spurs nervous at home all night, and finally witnessed the home team suffer a bitter defeat!
Among the role players, Birdman Anderson scored 20 points and 8 rebounds, Capela scored 12 points and 10 rebounds, Yuanlian Deng came off the bench to contribute 15 points, and Decker had 10 points and 7 rebounds.
For the Spurs, robot Leonard scored 34 points and 7 rebounds, and his performance was impeccable. Love was in average condition today, only recording 14 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.
The main reason why the Spurs lost is that the performance of the internal and external dual-core combination tonight was not as good as the Mosaic double-gun.
It is worth mentioning that Ginobili scored 8 points and 3 assists tonight, surpassing the scoring mark in his career and setting a career milestone.
But considering that the Spurs lost this game, it should be changed and called the mileage "sad".
Universe Yong also has a game today, facing a challenge from the Detroit Pistons at home.
Pistons stars Andre Drummond and Wang Zelin, Lillard also made his debut in the 2012 draft. After four years of his rookie contract, he has fulfilled his talent, and now he has grown to be second only to Wang Zelin and Cousin.
Sri Lanka's third active center.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is worthy of the 5-year 130 million maximum salary contract offered by the Pistons.
The Western Conference Finals in the past two years have made everyone see the Warriors' biggest shortcoming, which is the lack of interior strength.
Therefore, even though the Pistons knew that there was a high probability that they would not be able to beat the Warriors, they probably put their last chance at Drummond, expecting him to play the role of the third active center.
As a well-known rebounder in active service, if Drummond hadn't encountered Wang Zelin, he might have been the rebounding champion.
Unfortunately, as the old saying goes, where is the beauty?
Under the brilliance of Wang Zelin, Drummond could only condescend to be second in the single-season rebounding list for several consecutive years.
However, Drummond's opponent tonight was the Golden State Warriors, who were relatively weak at the center position, and he unexpectedly destroyed the Warriors' penalty area.
Played for 42 minutes, almost the entire game, making 9 of 19 shots and 4 of 6 free throws. While scoring 22 points, he also grabbed 25 rebounds!
Emmm, the rebounding data is more than the points. Apart from Drummond, who is a rebounding idiot, there should be no one in the current game.
At the same time, Drummond's 25 rebounds in a single game also set a new record for rebounds in a single game since the beginning of the season.
The previous record holder was Wang Zelin’s 22 rebounds in a single game when he played against the Kings!
Drummond had enough fun tonight, but the rest of the Pistons were beaten by the Warriors.
For the Warriors, Curry had 24 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds, Thompson had 20 points, 2 rebounds and 10 assists, Durant had 28 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, Green had 16 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists...
The Big Four scored 16 three-pointers and scored 88 points in total, beating their opponents to pieces!
In the end, the Warriors defeated the Pistons at home 126:95. The team's record reached 8 wins and 1 loss, ranking second in the Western Conference, second only to the Trail Blazers who started the season with 9 wins and 0 losses!
