The 76ers have added another person this year, a guy nicknamed Simmons. Another person who is known as the "Second Magician". Now he is really a "Magician" at every turn. Compared with last year, this year's 76
People are no longer prepared to continue to be a weak team, and their front office team has also decided to enter a period of improvement starting from this season, and rush to the front one by one.
The goal is first the Eastern Conference Finals, then the championship!
This season, the Cavaliers' Big Three disintegrated, and the newcomers they introduced were not very compatible. The Eastern Conference teams all saw hope. Otherwise, in the past, the Cavaliers' dominance of the Eastern Conference was really invincible. It was disappointing.
Zhan Badong is not called Zhan Badong for nothing.
Emperor Embiid naturally started to brag on various tweets again. It took about 30 minutes this season, but he produced extremely beautiful data. This guy is really good at brushing up data in a short period of time.
.In 30 minutes, he can average almost 23+11+3+2 per game, which is quite awesome. Converted into 36 minutes of normal star time, he averages 27+13+4+2 per game. In fact, the original
One year later, he really did it. And it only took 33 minutes per game.
When it comes to brushing up data, Embiid is really not targeting anyone.
Among insiders in this era, he is definitely the top insider efficiency.
Tang Qian even feels that if he was given a historical level of physical fitness and a body that can withstand exercise, his statistics will explode now. Unfortunately, this aspect is Embiid's shortcoming. The 76ers also have a lot of problems with him in this aspect.
, are very careful, for fear that problems will arise again and their hopes of revival will be dashed.
Embiid improved his confrontation and mid-range stability during the offseason, so when facing the Lakers, he once again started warming up in advance on Twitter, posting the headline: The battle between the Eastern and Western Emperors begins again! This time
Who do you stand for?
Damn, he really knows how to entertain and promote himself. Embiid is very popular in the United States, and it’s not without reason.
In tonight's game, he also showed his energy. The first thing he said when he saw Tang Qian was: Tyrant, I won't let you have the same life tonight as you did last season. Although this guy likes to talk about gambling.
Eyeballs are crazy, but his strength is there, especially in the regular season. He is very familiar with the game and does not look like a sophomore at all. Furthermore, Tang Qian also saw real battles in his eyes.
desire.
Yes, although he is a bit talkative, when it comes to the court, he is still a role model for a generation of young insiders.
Versatility is also one of Embiid's selling points.
At least, he looks much more reliable than Towns.
At the same time, this guy is very good defensively and can be used as the team's rim protector.
Even inside players, stars who can combine offense and defense are extremely rare nowadays. They usually attack the strong and defend the weak.
"Then let me see your progress. Mr. Emperor of the West, don't let me fail to warm up this time." Tang Qian also spat out trash talk with Embiid, which was actually a change of direction.
He has high regard for Embiid, otherwise, he would not have said a word of nonsense to Embiid. At the beginning of the game, because Randall was injured, the Lakers could only play Gasol at the 4th position. But on
Gasol was replaced, but the effect was not good. Gasol is now one year older, and he is also moving slower. The 76ers seized this point and started to play. Several of their positions can shoot 3-pointers.
If Gasol can't be pulled out, he will be shot. In fact, no one knows that Simmons can be released when playing against the 76ers, but because he is still a newcomer and has only played ten games, no one has noticed.
At this point, how do you know that a skilled outside player can't shoot three-pointers now? No, let alone three-pointers, he doesn't have any baskets at all. He doesn't have any baskets.
He just relies on his tall body to create mismatches when hitting other team's defenders, and then chooses back-up play and strong breakthroughs. His shooting percentage is really not low. But because he is similar to players like Giannis Antetokounmpo James, he is a basketball player.
The vast majority of shots are taken from the bottom, which is why the offensive efficiency is so good. In the future, when people play against the 76ers, they will let go of Simmons' shooting, but now, this rule has not been fully explored.
Naturally, the Lakers don't know much either.
The regular season is too intensive, and you can't study every team. Plus, he's just a rookie, who knows what it's like. During training, Simmons can shoot, so it's hard to say.
There are too few games, so it’s hard to see anything. But you have to admit, Simmons really has a big advantage when playing small. Especially in the regular season, when he breaks through and hits, Rondo can’t stop him.
The difference in height and confrontation is too big.
Simmons is full of strength and explosive power. Rondo can't stop him even at his peak. This is a hard gap in physical condition. It cannot be easily made up by your defensive skills. Just like O'Neal, you know what he will do.
Fighting, but...what's the use? People will still break the defense directly, leaving you powerless. The 76ers seem to have made certain arrangements. The Lakers are a team in the dynasty year, and they are also the target of research and blocking in the league.
, the 76ers used Simmons to start the game tonight and scored a few fierce shots. When the Lakers changed their formation and needed someone else to help Rondo defend, they instantly... released the ball.
This guy Simmons is so talented in vision and organizational skills???
This is something the Lakers didn't expect. After all, it was the first time they faced this guy, so they still underestimated this rookie. How can Simmons pass the ball so well? Coupled with his height and wingspan, plus his 230+
With a tonnage of 1,000 pounds, this ordinary No. 1 position cannot be stopped. It is too misplaced. Rondo has a good wingspan, but Simmons’s wingspan is not bad. Coupled with the huge advantage of height, in this kind of offensive and defensive battle, Rondo has a good wingspan.
There is no way to easily interfere with Simmons' pass.
In fact, there are few people in the entire league who can interfere with it. This is also an advantage of Simmons' extremely stable passing. This season, his number of passes and receptions ranked first in the league! He averaged 17.1 times per game.
of potential assists per game! These are incredible numbers! Since joining him, the 76ers' team rhythm has suddenly improved to the top four in the league!
Think about it.
The Lakers were a little confused by the 76ers' tactical arrangement. Gasol frequently started to get into trouble. In addition, the bench was also short of major generals. In the first quarter, the Lakers were actually led by 10 points by the opponent.
In the past, 23-33, the 76ers were leading in the first quarter. Seeing this, Larry Brown had no choice but to replace Gasol, because Gasol's presence on the court also hindered the Lakers' defensive counterattack and speed.
Gasol had this problem in the 12-13 season, and he and D'Antoni were irreconcilable. Now that he is so many years older, it is even more true. If you ask him to participate in a quick full-court return run, it is completely embarrassing for him.
When Gasol was young, he actually had very good footwork and high flexibility. Just look at his games during the Grizzlies period. He didn't have this concern or problem at all, but European big men all have this problem. That's
Once you are over 30 years old, your athletic ability will immediately decline. Gasol cannot avoid this aspect. Therefore, he started from the power forward position when he joined the NBA. Now, he plays more like the 5th position.
It's law.
At the 4th position, the spatial requirements are getting higher and higher now. Gasol is old and is really powerless.
Replacing him with Yi Jianlian, who has much better athletic ability, solved the problem immediately.
Now that Yi Jianlian specializes in space inside and shooting, his shooting is more stable and he can help open up more space.
But Tang Qian was off the court for a moment, and the 76ers were inside the Lakers. Gasol was completely unable to suppress Embiid, who was starting to grow up rapidly. There was no way, the Lakers used a defensive position, thinking
They need to pinch their opponents and buy more time for the main players to rest. And now on the bench, the Lakers are a little short of manpower, which is completely different from last year's abundant resources. In addition, they have sprained the contract of inside defense and blocking.
Smith and Beverley were not here, so the game was very uncomfortable.
On the other hand, the 76ers used the combination of Embiid and Simmons to attack the inside, coordinate the ball, and revitalize the whole team. The 76ers actually maintained the lead until the second half. At the end of the half, the Lakers were 45-54, trailing by 9 points.
In the second half, the Lakers returned to their main lineup, but without Gasol. The 76ers are now too capable of speeding up, and you can't suppress their engine, Ben Simmons. This will be difficult. If
The defensive intensity and standard in the playoffs were okay, but in the regular season it was very difficult.
Basically no No. 1 can stop him head-on one-on-one.
If you can't stop the engine, it will be difficult for you to hold on to the 76ers' speed increase. Their speed increase is different from that of the Warriors. It is more like the one used by the Suns and the Thunder last season. They rely on the core engine to force the speed increase, and the engine
If you can't suppress it, it will be difficult for you to suppress their fast style of play. And if you want to use defensive suppression now, it is also difficult, because the Lakers' defensive manpower has begun to show an obvious shortage. The main lineup is not bad, once they enter the rotation
, there will be many loopholes.
Tang Qian was able to fight to the end with good physical fitness and the physical crystal brick was maxed out, but the others couldn't do it.
The 76ers also saw this, so they felt free to use Simmons to speed up, and were not afraid of the Lakers' defense at all. Because your Lakers are no longer the Lakers last year. We are scared. Larry Brown also saw it.
76ers head coach Brett Brown's plan and decision were decisive. He waved his hand and accelerated the attack.
This is the way out now.
Otherwise, you can't guard against their speed-up engine, and you can't maintain iron defense throughout the whole process. How can you suppress the opponent's rhythm? You can't suppress it. In this case, you can only use another way. Fortunately, the Lakers
Last year, especially in the playoffs, I had already figured out this style of play, and I was not afraid at all. Rondo received the order and immediately began to speed up the attack. Both sides started to speed up, and the scores suddenly increased.
Don't tell me about this game, this damn Western Emperor Embiid is actually in such good condition!!! Damn it, if you don't enter The.Zone state, I will eat shit!!! It's his
Was it the original state, or was it the inertial blessing of the original time and space? No matter what, it is the same for Tang Qian now. He has long lost the ability to predict the period. So for him, even history
Inertial blessing, it's the same thing. It's all an explosion, and he doesn't know it, so he just does it. And he is still a little bit right. In this game, Embiid really exploded in the original time and space.
This night he scored a quasi-quadruple-double of 46+15+7+7. And the scary thing is... it only took him 34 minutes!!!
This efficiency is really...unbelievable!
And the hit rate for this game was over 70%! He also had 7 assists and 7 blocks!
But now that the opponent's state has exploded, Tang Qian is trying hard. After he scored a goal, Embiid responded immediately, and cleanly, without any fear. This is also the character of this guy, he will never
Afraid of anyone. Otherwise, how could he be so flamboyant? The 76ers are also cunning. They know that the Lakers will definitely try to keep No. 29 inside and in the low post, so once they hold the ball in the low post area, they will definitely
Use someone else to defend. In that way, Embiid can naturally form a misplaced advantage. And if the Lakers go out on the 29th, they are not afraid. Embiid will pull on the outside and the others will rush to the basket.
Simmons is their breakthrough heavy cavalry.
Damn it, in this era where spatiality is becoming more and more developed, Tang Qian will indeed have to bear the fate of being pulled out more. Before the first 10 years of the 21st century, he would not have had many such opportunities. But Tang Qian
His abnormal athleticism allowed him to withstand all this perfectly without being at a loss. The score became stalemate. At this stage, Embiid and Tang Qian were completely at each other. Although Tang Qian was tough
Embiid, Embiid is playing a mismatched offense, but both of them are the main scoring points for both sides. This kid Embiid actually learned a "sticky clothes eighteen falls" during the offseason.
”.
Of course it's not about others, it's about yourself.
However, unlike Harden's kind of foul play, he still belongs to the ranks of fouls. Because it is not the kind of deliberate fouls, but relies on physical contact and excellent footwork to draw fouls. So you will
It is found that there are very few people who say that Embiid is wrong, because the way to get free throws is still very different. However, he has also learned more exaggerated flops, which has also made his whistle improve bravely this season. The Lakers'
Switching out at position 4, he made him extremely uncomfortable. Yi Jianlian quickly got into foul trouble tonight. The same happened with Covington. The Lakers were all going to be fined by Embiid tonight.
.
Damn, you were already suffering from a wave of injuries and were short of personnel. You ended up drawing fouls like this tonight. What else could you do??? The Lakers now don’t have a single useful big man.
.Substitute other short players, and Embiid can hit it accurately every time. His body is not limited. Although there are also problems with the bottom plate, compared to Towns, it is in the sky and on the earth.
Do you want Tang Qian to go out? No, Larry Brown did not do this tonight, because the 76ers have a strong breakthrough and killing ability, and doing so will make the opponent just right. So the old man came up with a change of tactics, and instead used force
Block the opponent's three-pointers and outside shots, allowing them to take more offensive shots to the basket.
From the beginning of the game, the Lakers had a hard time beating the Warriors and were a little depressed against the Hawks, who were feeling explosive. The rest of the team had not been in a hard fight. Tonight, the 76ers came out on top. The two teams entered the third round.
In the fourth quarter, the 76ers still maintained a 6-point lead. This was still the last moment of the third quarter. Rose forced a breakthrough and grabbed a final three-pointer with countdown. Otherwise, we would still be 9 points behind.
Embiid suddenly became proud. Last season he was ravaged so badly by the Lakers No. 29 that he was very depressed. This season, he finally found a chance to take revenge! He was always a big talker who couldn't stop talking. He liked
Shoot, now that you have the opportunity, how can you do it without spraying? How can you live up to the name of Embiid, the great emperor of the West? Right?
I'm the number one Twitter user in the NBA.
"Tyrant, tonight is the beginning of my defeat of you! I will fight against you in the future!!! Are you ready???"
Tang Qian glanced at him before leaving the field and responded quietly:
"Then you come to the basket and hit me."
"Me." Embiid thought for a while and then continued: "This is a new era. Winning is the king. I call this strategy. Do you understand?"
"Oh? Really? Then do you know?" Tang Qian said: "Only the weak use strategies. The strong..."
