Chapter 10: Victory in the First Battle

Throughout the preseason, Philadelphia's performance has been worrying. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info lost all four games in the preseason, such a record, so that the media from all walks of life are worried about this rookie team.

Yelenyu plus Simmons plus Okafor, such a lineup has played such a record, which is really worrying.

A Chinese sports website also claimed that "Ye Lunyu's entry into the Philadelphia 76ers was a mistake."

Ye Lunyu had already announced on Twitter before the game that his 2k18 ability value is 83, teammate Simmons is also 83, and Okafor is 85. With such an ability value, it is possible to form the "Big Three".

You know, Kobe Bryant's ability value in 2k16 is only 85.

……

After the defeat to Toronto, Ye Lunyu did not participate in the remaining three games for various reasons.

This could be one of the triggers for a four-game losing streak.

Under intense pressure, including head coach Brett Brown, he was in danger of being sacked in the preseason.

The whole team, from the players to the coaching staff, in the first regular season game, they are bound to win.

In the first game, they will host the Timberwolves from Minnesota.

The Timberwolves are a team that must be mentioned. They are also a team with a strong rookie roster: Wiggins, Towns, LaVine, these well-known players make up the bright future of the Timberwolves. Coupled with the likes of Rubio and George Hill, the Timberwolves will be a rising star in the NBA in the future.

Last season, they finished 8th in the West. However, in the first round of the playoffs, they were swept by the Warriors 0-4.

In the 2017-18 season, the Timberwolves are aiming for a top-six finish in the West.

……

Wells Fargo Center. The first regular-season game between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Minnesota Timberwolves will be played here.

This game is the largest number of Chinese fans ever received at the Wells Fargo Center. The No. 7 76ers jersey can be seen everywhere.

Locker room.

"Hey, guys, we've got to cheer up, we can't afford to lose anymore, we've got to forget the past and look to the future. We have to show our due strength and win a few battles!" Ye Lunyu said.

"yes, but what do you look to the future?" asked Simmons.

"By strength and courage. Ye Lunyu said firmly.

"Let's go first......" Simmons interrupted the conversation.

"Let's refuel first. Ye Lunyu said.

"I agree. Simmons said.

"76ers, come on!" the whole team yelled.

……

Screams came and went, and occasionally one or two Chinese "Ye Lunyu" were heard.

That's the case at the Wells Fargo Center right now.

It's been a long time since Philadelphia fans have been so passionate about their team.

Ye Lunyu, let them see hope.

I don't know why, Ye Lunyu always has some AI shadows on his body.

The game is about to begin.

Ye Lunyu is the starting point guard.

Opposite him was Ricky Rubio.

Scrum, Downs scrambled, dialed to Rubio.

Rubio led the offense with the ball, passed to LaVine, and made a scrambled shot to score two points.

Ye Lunyu took the ball to organize the attack.

As soon as he dribbled, he felt the defensive hardness of this team. Rubio, who was opposite him, was small and tightly defended, which made Ye Lunyu a little difficult to dribble the ball.

He passed to Simmons.

Simmons, a small forward with a wide range of passes, noticed an empty space in the left corner and immediately distributed the ball to Gerard Henderson, who was in the corner.

Three-point shot, popping out of the frame. Gerard Henderson is not a three-point shooter.

But after the Timberwolves grabbed the rebound, they did not first control the ball and slowly organize the offense, but launched a quick attack like a pack of wolves predatoring, and immediately put the prey to death.

Using the fast attack, another two points were scored.

They deserve to be called Timberwolves.

In the next offense, the 76ers' offensive efficiency was very high. The Timberwolves' high-tempo offense has been limited because of this, and the five "wolves" are still no match for the "76 people"!

12-4, Philadelphia started with a wave of offensive climax.

The Timberwolves hurriedly called a timeout.

"Play yourself, defend well, and look at the basketball you play......" Timberwolves head coach Sam Mitchell said angrily.

On the 76ers' side, Brett Brown is encouraging everyone: "You play well, but the opponent is not vegetarian, they will definitely come up with new tricks to deal with us, as long as you defend well, it is not a problem......

Two teams, two situations, naturally there will be different response situations.

Back on the court, the Timberwolves have changed slightly, they still need to play fast break, but at the same time, they have also strengthened their outside shooting.

But it's a pity that they don't feel good, and they don't get anything out of repeated shots.

On the other hand, in Philadelphia, there are still gains in sticking to positional warfare. They took advantage of their overall height advantage and frequently broke through to impact Minnesota's interior line, making the advantage more and more obvious.

At the end of the first quarter, the Philadelphia 76ers led the Minnesota Timberwolves by as many as 12 points, 29-17.

After a short break, the fuse of the second quarter was ignited.

Both sides sent a rotating lineup.

The Timberwolves' bench players came up and played well, helping the team to recover some of the disadvantage slightly.

But after about 3 minutes of play, Philadelphia's outside line suddenly opened, no matter who it was, how to shoot it, and shooting threes was like drifting a bottle into the sea on the beach.

This three-point rain stunned the "wolf pack" in Minnesota.

In an instant, Philadelphia was about 20 points ahead of the Timberwolves.

There was no way, the Timberwolves replaced the main force again.

Philadelphia also switched to the main force. See the move.

After the main force came up, the Timberwolves seemed to be aroused "bloody", and the offense was very aggressive. And Philadelphia, which just came on the court, played relatively dullly, without bold passes and singles, and still played "small balls" carefully.

That sent the Timberwolves to a small surge -- a 13-6 run.

With three and a half minutes left in the second quarter, Philadelphia led Minnesota by nine points, 51-42.

At this time, Simmons on the Philadelphia side seemed to be playing chicken blood and kept scoring points.

He scored a three-pointer with an open pitch and then scored on a dunk on a fast break.

Then, he took the initiative to ask his teammates for the ball, signaled them to pull away, and let himself play alone.

Miraculously, his hands seem to be hot, and step-back jumpers, break-throughs, and three-pointers have all become his means of scoring.

For the rest of the day, Philadelphia's offense was largely done by him.

No teammates have an opinion because Simmons has already controlled the game.

At halftime, Philadelphia had an absolute advantage of 64-48.

Simmons scored 19 points in the half, including 15 in the second quarter.

Ye Lunyu scored 7 points and 6 assists in the half.

The Timberwolves had a sluggish performance, with Wiggins scoring eight points at the best.

Either way, that's not what the Timberwolves should be.

……

The second half began.

The Timberwolves keep Rubio and Wiggins on the bench as they make sure the second tier can compete with Philadelphia.

As soon as he came up, Ye Lunyu, who was not restrained by Rubio's defense, took the initiative. With his skillful skills, he has repeatedly attacked the Timberwolves' interior line. Coupled with his natural passing spirit as a point guard, he can shoot and pass, which makes the Timberwolves look forward to him.

As soon as the third quarter came up, it was "beaten" like this, and it seemed that the direction of this game was clear at a glance.

The Timberwolves desperately need someone to step up and lead the team out of this predicament.

A loss for the Timberwolves is already imminent.

73 to 50, the difference is getting wider and wider. Sam Mitchell had no choice but to call a timeout that was somewhat futile.

For the rest of the game, it seems to be Philadelphia's showtime.

Try your best, the Timberwolves have to make that choice right now.

They switched to an all-main lineup.

Philadelphia replaced most of their main players, leaving only Ye Lunyu and Carl Landry on the court.

The Timberwolves are coming back with a lot of menacing, and now they're fighting hard and making a desperate bet.

After coming up, the Timberwolves didn't have any restraint and pressure, and they hit what they wanted. This makes the mentality of the Timberwolves players inadvertently flattened.

The 'wolves' who play with a normal heart are even more terrifying, and they use bold passing and receiving combinations to create a lot of good scoring opportunities.

The bench players led by Ye Lunyu are still too immature to resist the ferocious offensive of the Timberwolves.

But on the offensive end, the 76ers don't have much of a disadvantage. Ye Lunyu's distribution can always be accurately given to the hands of his teammates, coupled with the good feel of his teammates, they still haven't lost too much to the Timberwolves in terms of scoring.

They held on until the end of the third quarter. In this quarter of the game, Ye Lunyu scored 6 points and 5 assists.

At the end of the third quarter, Philadelphia led the Timberwolves by 17 points, 86-69.

As soon as the fourth quarter came up, the Timberwolves still sent the full main force. The 76ers only sent Simmons and Okafor as the two main players.

But that's enough. Simmons, who was hot throughout the game, once again played a big role, covering almost all of the 76ers' offense, although the success rate was not very high, but at least it ensured the 76ers' offensive output.

The Timberwolves' comeback still didn't work, and after half quarter, they still trailed Philadelphia by 15 points, 80-95.

Sam Mitchell swapped the main line, leaving Wiggins on the court.

The rest is garbage time.

Philadelphia switched to an all-bench lineup for the sake of training.

The substitutions on both sides are also in full swing.

With two minutes left, Philadelphia was 104-92. The Timberwolves replaced Wiggins as well, an action that would amount to abandoning the game.

106-97, in the end, Philadelphia got off to a good start to the season at home.

Simmons played well in this game, finishing with 35 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

Ye Lunyu also had a good record of 13 points and 14 assists. This is the highest number of assists ever received by an Asian player in the NBA.

The future of a new season is here.
