After five straight wins, the 76ers have grown in popularity, and they are now the No. 2 team in the East. With a 6-2 record, they are second only to the Cleveland Cavaliers in first place with 7 wins and 1 losses.

Who would have thought that such a super weak team could now rank like this and win five consecutive victories!

The most important thing is that if the 76ers win this game, they can replace the Cleveland Cavaliers and rise to the top of the East!

The super underdog team that had previously lost to the Spurs by 26 points and the Warriors by 37 points played such an amazing performance, which is indeed amazing.

It's hard to believe, that's what the knights think. Owen and Zhan Huang had praised Ye Lunyu before the season, and it seems that they have a good vision.

As for the lineup of the Cavaliers, I believe I don't need to repeat it. Only 25 years old has played extraordinary, comparable to Curry Harden in point guard, only 26-year-old Kelly Irving, "Basketball Emperor", single-core led the team to the Finals, the youngest Mr. 20,000 points in history, LeBron James, who won four championship trophies, 31 points and 31 rebounds in a single game, Kevin Love, who got a double-double in 53 consecutive games, and "Nerve Knife" JR Smith, the new interior rebounding expert "TT" Tristan Smith. Thompson and other outstanding players have built a terrifying luxury team.

Before the game, the 76ers didn't have too much pressure. After all, they have good momentum and a great teamwork. And the knights still maintain their kingly spirit of talking and laughing.

And the alignment between Owen and Ye Lunyu has also become the focus of media attention. Ye Lunyu shot 45% from three-point range in the first eight regular season games of the season, while Irving also shot 42%, which is bound to be a three-point matchup.

It has always been said that Ye Lunyu is the second Curry. Yes, his three-point talent does have the same as Curry's, but Ye Lunyu's playing style is still stronger than Curry's.

Irving can average 2.1 steals per game, while Ye Lunyu also has 2.0 steals, which is bound to be another point guard duel with both offense and defense.

And this season, there is the much-anticipated Zhan Huang vs. "Little Zhan Huang" Ben Simmons, and it can only be stopped.

In short, the title of "fear team" worn by the 76ers by the media can only make the audience wait and see in this game to see if the 76ers are the legendary chicken rib team.

Cleveland, Quick-Loan Arena. It's a buzzing place, and attendance never sits lower than Oracle Stadium.

The stadium was full of brown and yellow jerseys, with No. 23 and No. 2 being the most. There are a few banners that also mark the domineering logo of "BASKETBALLKING".

Zhan Huang's performance in the first part of this season is not eye-catching, at least in terms of data, averaging 18.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.2 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game, which does not reflect the strength that Zhan Huang should have. Although he is 33 years old.

Soon, the game began.

The first offense, belonging to Cleveland, Irving had the ball.

Against Ye Lunyu, Owen seemed to show a strong desire to attack. After the ball was in the hands of James and "TT" twice, he returned to Irving, he pulled up and shot, and came with an "Inyourfacetreythree" in front of Ye Lunyu, and most importantly, the ball also "swished" into the net.

3-0, Owen started the game very well. This is a clear indication that Owen will have a good performance in this game.

Ye Lunyu is facing Irving on the offensive end in this game, but on defense, he is facing JR Smith, because the coaching staff really doesn't want him to consume too much physical strength on the defensive end, and it is not a simple matter to play against Irving. Of course, it is not easy to defend against JR.

After a few more rounds, the score difference was not too big. The Cavaliers 107 million, known as the "most expensive starter" in history, started the five tigers, and did not make it difficult for the 76ers.

In the first quarter of the game, Ye Lunyu played for about eight minutes. It's already off, after all, without falling behind a large number of scores, there is no need to let Ye Lunyu play for so long.

The 76ers still didn't continue the good momentum until the end of the first quarter, and in the last two minutes, with Irving and JR's three-pointers each, as well as a 2+1 from Zhan Huang, the Cavaliers played a 9-0 momentum and widened the gap all of a sudden.

In the first quarter, the Cleveland Cavaliers held the 76ers 33-21.

In the second quarter, the 76ers used their "one small and four big" lineup, just Ye Lunyu is a short player, and the other four players are all players with a height of more than 2.05 meters.

In terms of fast offense, there are no players who can keep up with the rhythm, and the defensive outside line is also more difficult, the 76ers coaching staff originally wanted to improve the guarantee of rebounding, but although the Cavaliers are a semi-bench lineup, Lefou, Channing Frye, Anderson These bench players are not bad at rebounding, and the 76ers only have so many more rebounds, and the Cavaliers' offensive efficiency is not low, and the 76ers do not take too much advantage.

The first half of the quarter was not bad, but in the second half of the second quarter, the main force of the Cavaliers returned to the battlefield, so it was not so optimistic.

The Cavaliers played fiercely in the second half of the quarter, and although Ye Lunyu and Gerald Henderson hit a few three-pointers from the outside in the last few minutes, they still fell slightly behind the Cavaliers in the second quarter.

At halftime, the Cleveland Cavaliers maintained their lead over the Philadelphia 76ers at 58-44. James had 11 points, four rebounds and three assists in the half, Irving also had 10 points and four assists, and Ye Lunyu had eight points in the half with two three-pointers, as well as three assists, along with three turnovers.

The 76ers' "fear of strength" seems to have been fulfilled in the first half.

……

In the third quarter, Ye Lunyu, who almost didn't get a break in the first half, didn't take the lead. And the Cavaliers didn't let James play.

The 76ers' 3 main players with 2 bench players are not at an excessive disadvantage. They have a good hand, and they can be described as "inside and outside" in the inside and outside lines, and the ball frequently goes into the net, shortening the score difference a lot.

And the Cavaliers, although they scored, played more piecemeal, both on the defensive end and on the offensive end. They are a bit underestimated.

The 76ers took advantage of this opportunity to completely tear apart the Cavaliers' defense with blocking, air cutting and other cooperation, and immediately gradually narrowed the difference.

Ye Lunyu didn't play until the end of the third quarter, after all, the bench players played so well, and the coaching staff could also wait for the opportunity to act.

Ye Lunyu didn't score after coming up, he mainly did the task of organizing the offense and passing and receiving, which also allowed him to save a certain amount of physical energy, allowing him to limit Irving on the defensive end (the coaching staff changed him to defend Irving).

At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers suffered a scoring drought because of the late part of the quarter, and the 76ers recovered a lot of scores at 77-73.

It's time to wake up.

That's what the Cavaliers players think, especially James.

In the fourth quarter, James couldn't take a break and immediately put on the line, he used his usual leadership style to lead the team, and he led the team to a wave of offensive climax. Ye Lunyu started the fourth quarter, but he didn't let the 76ers' offense benefit much. On the contrary, the Cavaliers' strict defense made Ye Lunyu make mistakes again and again, and the 76ers' hand was instantly dumb in the fourth quarter, and soon, the Cavaliers re-established their advantage.

Brett Brown called a couple of timeouts but didn't do much to help the 76ers.

In the fourth quarter, it has been interpreted as the Cavaliers beating the 76ers.

The "Fear of Strong Team" is worthy of its name, and the 76ers' usual "stubble (panic)" has appeared again.

76 in the fourth quarter. There is only parry, and there is no spare strength to fight back. Ye Lunyu is still trying to win a chance for the team, but he can't do anything, he shot only 1 of 6 three-pointers in the last quarter, Okafor did not score, Embiid performed well, he scored 8 points in a single quarter.

With a layup by Cavaliers rookie Kai Field at the end, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 105-89 at the Quick Loan Center, retaining their position in the first place in the East, and at the same time, they also ushered in a seven-game winning streak.

James Huang performed well, with a quasi-triple-double of 26 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, and Irving also scored 27 points and 7 assists.

Ye Lunyu's performance was mediocre, with only 12 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. Embiid is the scoring leader of the 76ers, with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks.

……

Public opinion made the 76ers enter a difficult stage again, and the title of "Fear of the Strong Team" was worn on their heads again, so that in the next game against the Toronto Raptors, they were unanimously looked down upon by the media.

Regardless, back at the Wells Fargo Center, the 76ers must win the game and reinvigorate their reputation.

They were full of fighting spirit and set out on their way home......
