Chapter 1041 Embiid: Dont bully young people into poverty!
No one knows what happened in the Trail Blazers locker room at halftime?
Everyone only saw that when they came back from the third quarter, the Trail Blazers used an unlimited defensive lineup that frightened teams across the league.
mmp! You think too highly of us. We are only ranked last in the Eastern Conference, but you are the defending champion of the dynasty. Can you give me some face?
75ers head coach Brett Brown was completely dumbfounded.
Looking back, the 75 players behind them all had their eyes widened, and each one was so frightened that they turned purple.
"Our defending champion is going to cause trouble by putting up this fight!"
Van Gundy Jr. looked at Philadelphia No. 21 with a look of gloating.
Why do you have to pretend to be okay when you say you're fine?
It's not good to offend anyone. You have to offend a man. Now okay, if you offend that guy, you will be in trouble next time.
This ultimate lineup made it very difficult to defend the 75ers. Even Covington, who barely contributed positive value in the first half, made frequent mistakes.
As for the offense?
Stop making trouble, everyone knows that when the Trail Blazers fielded this lineup, there was only one offensive point on the court, and that was Wang Zelin.
At the beginning of the second half, Wang Zelin started to take crazy shots because he already felt that the game was getting boring and it was time to end it all.
When the Trail Blazers No. 36 kept scoring crazy points from inside and outside, tearing apart the 75-man defense by himself, many old Philadelphia fans were suddenly in a trance.
Four people defend and one attacks!
Such a familiar style of play on the court suddenly brought the memories of many old fans to the beginning of the century, and a figure suddenly flashed in their minds...
That No. 3 fighter who is omnipotent on the offensive end - "The Answer" Allen Iverson!
Times have changed, Iverson is a thing of the past, and the 75ers have become a famously bad team in the league. Now the whole of Philadelphia can only place its hope on Embiid, hoping that he can really lead Philadelphia to rise again.
Facing an opponent like the 75ers, the Trail Blazers only needed to be a little serious and show off a hint of the terror of a war machine, and the game immediately showed a one-sided trend.
There is no way, the gap in hard power is really too big!
Wang Zelin scored 25 points in a single quarter. After three quarters, the Trail Blazers led the 75ers by 38 points, which was almost the same as ending the game early!
After the start of the fourth quarter, people discovered that Brett Brown kept Embiid on the bench.
When the game had completely lost its momentum, he didn't want Embiid to continue taking risks.
What's more, he also saw that Wang Zelin was deliberately targeting Embiid today. If he didn't realize it and let Embiid continue to play, the outcome would only be even more disastrous.
There is no shortage of cases in the history of the NBA where super rookies lost confidence once they were beaten and then turned into mediocre players.
The most typical example is Walter Bellamy, the No. 1 pick in the 1961 draft.
He scored more than 20,000 points and more than 10,000 rebounds in his career. Only 9 people in history have achieved this at the same time. In the end, he was selected into the Hall of Fame, but after all, he was just Chamberlain's background.
In his rookie season, Bellamy averaged an astonishing 31.6 points and 19 rebounds per game, which once made everyone think he would be the next Chamberlain.
Under endless adulation, this guy really lost his temper and chose to die to provoke Chamberlain.
As you can imagine, the offended Chamberlain brutally killed Bellamy in the first half of the last game.
Unfortunately, the league had not yet introduced blocking data at that time, but according to eyewitnesses, Bellamy had all 9 shots blocked by Chamberlain in the first half, with zero blocks in the half.
In the second half, Chamberlain, who was tired of playing, told Bellamy: Okay, you can score now.
How extremely humiliating is this?
At the end of the game, Bellamy only scored 14 points, 6 rebounds and 5 fouls, and his mentality collapsed on the spot.
On the other hand, Chamberlain scored 51 points, 24 rebounds, and at least double-digit blocks in that game.
From then on, Bellamy began to decline. He failed to recover. He was at his peak as a rookie. The super talent that everyone praised before was never fulfilled again.
This also reflects the horror of offending superstars, especially superstars at the same position like Chamberlain and Wang Zelin. Once they are targeted, the consequences can be imagined.
No matter how mature Embiid appears, he is still just a rookie who was "late" for two years. Brett Brown didn't dare to bet, and neither did Philadelphia.
They had been waiting for several years to finally get such a super star, and they didn't want to waste this hard-won hope of a comeback.
So, Brett Brown surrenders!
At this time, the live camera showed a close-up of Wang Zelin. The latter looked a little regretful, then waved his hand towards Coach Terry and did not play again.
His statistics tonight were also fixed at 50 points, 19 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals. He was only one rebound away from completing the super achievement of 50 20 5 5.
Come on, it’s another day for obsessive-compulsive fans.
On the bench of the 75th team, Brett Brown saw this scene and was extremely grateful for his wise move.
…
At the end of the game, people saw such a disappointed expression on Joel Embiid's face for the first time.
Obviously, even Embiid, a big troll, doesn't seem to be as tough in his heart as he shows on his lips.
In the history of the super rookies who are at the peak of their debut, who is not a master with a high ambition? Faced with the ending of being mercilessly beaten by his opponent, it would be a lie to say that he is not uncomfortable.
145:101, the Portland Trail Blazers easily defeated 75 people in Philadelphia, with a score difference of 44 points.
As long as their opponents work harder, the Trail Blazers may be able to touch a certain mysterious number tonight.
The 75ers' longest two-game winning streak of the season was ended, while the Trail Blazers celebrated their 23rd win of the season, bringing their record to 23 wins and 2 losses, leading the league!
Before the game, everyone thought that the Trail Blazers might be able to upset the team if they put up a good fight with 75 players, given that they were having trouble with the Eastern Conference.
But the truth is cruel. Embiid's power is not enough to cause trouble for the Trail Blazers?
Even Wang Zelin only needed to make a slight move to know Embiid's limit. Again...
Michael Taylor looked at Embiid's expression on the TV and couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken.
This may be the first setback Embiid has encountered since officially entering the league.
Although the 75ers had lost less and won more before and could not change the appearance of a bad team, Embiid's personal performance is absolutely no problem. In only 25 minutes of playing time, he has already produced league all-star insider data, which can be said to be
Quite explosive.
Among the rookie players in the past 10 years, the rookie performances of Tyreke Evans in 2010, Blake Griffin in 2011 and Wang Zelin in 2012 were slightly better than him.
But today, Embiid was defeated, so defeated that he didn't even dare to play in the last quarter.
Don't keep saying that rookies are not rookies?
In competitive sports, everything still depends on strength!
Even if you say a thousand words, it can't cover up Embiid's current lack of personal strength when facing a truly strong team.
Now his strength level is only suitable for abusing players, and he can't play high-end games.
Embiid played for 26 minutes in this game. The original plan was definitely to play for more than 30 minutes. How could he expect that the Trail Blazers were so ruthless and had unlimited defense changes in the second half? How could he answer?
If the game continues, the 75-man management will have to worry about whether Embiid will suffer from psychological problems.
In the end, Embiid's personal statistics were fixed at 15 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block and... an eye-catching 7 turnovers.
In other words, Embiid only scored 2 points and 1 rebound in the second half, and then scored nothing more.
Of course, on the surface, this data looks quite satisfactory, after all, tonight he is facing the No. 1 player in active duty.
But if you think about it carefully, Embiid's data is actually terrible.
Among the 15 points, nearly half of the points came from free throws. With the bonus of the home whistle, Embiid's free throw power was amazing. After three quarters, he scored 13 free throws and made 7 of 13 free throws. Only then did he score.
Double-digit performance.
One thing that must be admitted is that Embiid's ability to draw fouls is indeed very fierce, and he is not the kind of player who relies on his excellent footwork, which makes people difficult to guard against.
In 20 minutes of playing time this season, he averaged almost 8 free throws per game, which is equivalent to about 11 free throws in 36 minutes.
It's really not an exaggeration. In his previous life, after his average time per game reached 33 minutes in his third season, his number of free throws per game immediately reached more than 10.
But tonight's free throw was obviously abnormal. The league's intention to create stars was so obvious that it was almost blind.
With the referee's help, he still played such an ugly game, so it's possible that Embiid would be so disappointed.
Embiid stood up in frustration and subconsciously glanced at Wang Zelin in the other half.
At this time, Wang Zelin was celebrating with his teammates and planned to be interviewed by on-site reporters.
Embiid pursed his lips and clenched his fists unwillingly.
What a shame for messing with Frank!
The young emperor secretly swore in his heart that he would remember today's game in his heart forever, until the day he personally asks Wang Zelin to regain his place.
Hum, don’t bully a young man into poverty, I will kill you in three years!
