Three-point work doesn't work, so how did Simmons average 19.2 points per game last season?

There are three reasons for this: First, because of the natural mismatch advantage, Simmons can grab a rebound in the backcourt and then push the fast break directly to score a layup, and the stats show that he has scored a whopping 26% of all points this season.

Second, Simmons has a certain low-post offensive threat.

Due to the lack of shooters in the entire LSU team, the offensive space in the half-court positional battle is relatively dead, and Simmons has a lot of difficulty when holding the ball on the outside, so many times, he will receive the ball on the edge of the box to attack, and in this case, if the opponent's interior player is opposed, he will use his speed to easily break through the opponent, even if he encounters pinching and supplementing defense, he can use his strong body and the advantage of shooting with both left and right hands to complete the score.

In addition, Simmons made 9.8 free throws per 40 minutes in his freshman season, which is a respectable number.

Simmons, of course, has his weaknesses, and they're very stark. In addition to the aforementioned lack of range, his leadership has also faced some doubts.

This season, under his leadership, LSU only played 19-14 and failed to even break into the round of 68, and it was then that his draft market was in crisis.

In addition, although Simmons has excellent talent and good defensive instincts, and can average 2 steals and 0.8 blocks per game this season, there are also some signs of bad signs in terms of defensive attitude. Specifically, his defensive engagement is more obviously affected by emotions, most of the time, his concentration is not so concentrated, and he likes to gamble on steals.

All in all, Simmons has undoubted talent, but there are also a lot of problems that can arise with young players, and his run-in with Joel Embiid is also a problem.

However, their "duo" is still more exciting, the 76ers hope that the young man known as "the next LeBron" can lead the team out of the darkness, and Simmons also hopes to get enough opportunities in the 76ers. However, it now seems that the good wishes of both sides may not be realized in a short period of time. Because Simmons fractured his right foot during training on September 30 this year, it is unclear how long he will be sidelined. Now it seems that it is a bit difficult to see this pair on the Circle.

The 76ers' training camp was scheduled at Stockton University, and everything was going very well, knowing the final internal training game for the team. In this intra-team matchup, Simmons sprained his right ankle in a scramble.

The team immediately sent him for X-rays and MRIs, and the results were then sent to the 76ers' chief therapist, Christopher Moralitynson, and the team's chief medical officer, Jonathan Grashow, who confirmed that Simmons suffered a sprain that caused a fracture of the fifth metatarsal in his right foot. At present, the 76ers have officially announced the news of Simmons' injury and said that there is no clear timetable for the return of the champion.

For the 76ers, a team that has been poor and weak for many years, I am afraid that it will have to continue to wait for a revival. Originally, they drafted Simmons with the intention of developing him as a team leader to fight alongside young and talented players such as Embiid, Okafor, Noel and Saric . But with Simmons' injury, the 76ers have to go back to the same path as last year.

In recent years, the high-pick rookies selected by the 76ers seem to be unable to avoid injuries. After they drafted Noel that year, the big man missed his entire rookie season due to a cruciate ligament injury and only officially started playing in the NBA the following year. And then there's Embiid, the 2014 rookie who has only started playing for the team in the NBA since the 76ers drafted him.

Okafor, who was drafted by the team last year, also suffered a knee injury after playing 53 games. Now, on the 76ers' list, Ben Simmons also appears.

Let's call them unlucky...... It's a bit unlucky...... Choosing one to hurt one is like being cursed by someone.

Let's say they're not unlucky...... At least there are a lot of talented young players in the team right now...... Whether it's Simmons, Embiid or Okafor, they all have the potential to become star players, and Simmons and Embiid are enough to be the core of the team.

Holding Wang Fang in his hand, he couldn't hit it...... That's what the 76ers are talking about now.

But if he could, Xu Xuan still wanted to make a deal with the 76ers...... Especially Embiid.

Although everyone says that Embiid is blown out, his strength is average...... But he can play inside, shoot outside, and his ball quotient is quite high.

If you can trade him, even if it's Russell.

Except for Ingram...... It is not denied that Xu Xuan has always had relatively large expectations for Ingram, mainly because this guy's physical condition is too good, and he will be the next Du Lao Er after practice, who doesn't like this?

Embiid is powerful, can he be more powerful than Du Laodi?

And Russell also has high potential, but in Xu Xuan's perspective, he is not as developmental as Ingram, he can become an All-Star, but it is too difficult to become a supergiant further.

The upper limit of two people is not the same.

And people like Ingram, Embiid and others can be used as the cornerstone of the team to build the team, and Russell can be a second-in-command like Klay at most.

Of course, this can only be thought about...... Killing the 76ers won't trade Embiid.

The 76ers don't have much information about trading this season, and they also have such a group of talented young players, so Xu Xuan will not trade any older generation of All-Star players, there is no need for that, just wait for time to ferment.

It is worth mentioning that the 76ers signed Gerard Henderson, a swingman who played for the Trail Blazers last year, to a two-year, $18 million contract.

The 28-year-old Henderson was drafted by the Charlotte Bobcats with the 12th pick in the first round in 2009. He spent the first six seasons with Charlotte and gradually grew into the Bobcats' decorated captain. But in the summer of 2015, in exchange for Batum, Henderson was traded to the Trail Blazers and also lost his starting position. He played four and a half years as a regular for the Bobcats, playing in 391 games, including 292 starts, and averaging over 15 points per game in both 2011-12 and 2012-13. Last season, Henderson played in 72 games for the Trail Blazers, all off the bench, averaging 8.7 points and 2.9 rebounds in 19.9 minutes per game.

Henderson plays as a shooting guard and can occasionally make a cameo appearance as a small forward. As a physically stellar perimeter, Henderson's impactful singles ability can provide him with reliable scoring, and this season, Henderson has increased his long-range shooting, hitting 48 three-pointers for the season and a career-high 35.3% three-point shooting percentage.

During his time at Charlotte, Henderson was the team's undisputed captain and dressing room leader, and had a high reputation in the youth team. And last year, the Trail Blazers' locker room had this big brother, and it was also very harmonious and stable. Henderson, who has been a mentor to young players throughout his career, has also been favored by a number of teams.

The 76ers signed him for nothing else, a large group of young people must have a boss, otherwise it won't be messed up?

In addition to Henderson, the 76ers have also signed Spanish point guard Sergio Rodriguez, the heart of Real Madrid, who will wear the 76ers jersey to the NBA next season.

At just 30 years old, Sergio is 1.91 meters tall and participated in the NBA draft in 2006, when he was selected by the Suns with the 27th pick in the first round, but he was soon traded to the Trail Blazers and began his NBA career in Portland.

After three seasons in Portland, his performances did not impress the team, and in 2009-10 he moved to the Raptors, then he was traded twice this season, moving between the Kings and the Knicks, but he failed to find his place on either team, and at the end of the season, he chose to leave the NBA.

In the four seasons he played in the NBA, Rodriguez only averaged 4.3 points and 2.9 assists per game, which is indeed not a success.

After leaving the NBA, Rodriguez returned to his home country and joined Real Madrid for 3 years and 4.5 million euros, where he remained until last season. With his impressive performance in Madrid, Rodriguez was given the opportunity to return to the NBA, and by this time he had become a 30-year-old veteran.

He was signed for the same purpose as Henderson, the 76ers are too young and without veterans on their side, it is difficult to ensure consistency.

However, as far as their current record is concerned, 6 wins and 19 losses, it makes no difference if they are stable and unstable......

7 p.m.

Philadelphia, Phu Quoc Center Arena.

The Lakers' second game in a seven-game road streak began.

The starting lists of both teams were shown on the big screen before the game.

The Lakers, who were playing away, sent the starting lineup of Xu Xuan, Russell, Ingram, Randle and Zubac.

The 76ers, on the other hand, sent Sergio, Gerard Henderson, Robert Covington, Okafor and Embiid.

The Lakers' roster is floating, and there are five rookies in this game......

Well, Xu Xuan is also a newcomer.

...... He is only in his third year, and according to NBA regulations, those who do not have a rookie contract are called rookies.

Russell is the second year, Ingram is the first year, Randle and Xu Xuan are the third year, and Zubac is the first year...... Not even a single fourth-year player.

With such a young lineup, Frank also planned to wait until Xu Xuan played for 5 minutes to replace him......

The 76ers got angry.

What for?

Don't you look down on people?

You Xu Xuan played everyone else in the first quarter, how can it change that we are 5 minutes?

Looking down on people, is it looking down on people?

...... Really......

This 76ers is a patchwork lineup from the current point of view, looking at the record of 6 wins and 19 losses, and it seems good to be able to win 6 games, but in fact, I don't know how to win these 6 games......

If you're lucky, you might win, and if you're unlucky, you'll lose.

In Simmons' absence, the only core of the 76ers is Embiid right now.

The team's shooting power also fell on him.

At the end of a game, it takes nearly 20 shots.

Although the Lakers put on a strange lineup in this game, it was very intense.

The bayonets on both sides fought bloodily.

Especially on the inside, Frank first started with Zubac and then was blown up by the Emperor with various steps...... Then he got on Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian held on for a while, his inside line was quite hard enough, but the emperor saw that the inside line was difficult and directly turned to the outside line to shoot three points...... Watch as Embiid throws out a three-pointer and hits a ...... Xu Xuan admitted that he was sour.

The three center forwards of their own ...... The UAE is well-rounded enough, Zubac is young enough, and Tariq is fierce enough, but if you want to talk about three-point ability, the UAE has a little ...... It's just a point, and it can't be used as his regular weapon like the Emperor at all.

It's not just Xu Xuan.

Brother Alphabet, who was far away in Milwaukee, had envious eyes purple.

There's no way, he doesn't lack anything, he lacks this three-point shot, and he can't practice well, if he also has a three-point shot that can be taken out of one hand, he will really wake up laughing from a dream......

Xu Xuan only played for more than twenty minutes in this game before being replaced, according to Frank, a group of young people are fighting bloody battles on the field, you "old guy" don't float in it......

All right...... Obviously a third-year player, but in Frank's mouth, he has become an "old guy......

But Frank said this, and all the players and staff, including Randle, took it for granted...... It seems that Xu Xuan is the old guy......

Actually, he's not.

Xu Xuan was wronged.

And Randall...... You're meow, if I'm an old guy, aren't you, who was in my same class, also an old guy?

Well, you're a little fresh meat, I'm an "old guy......

Xu Xuan didn't bother with them, and sat down quietly to watch the play.

Philadelphia, as the fourth largest city in the United States, still has a strong basketball atmosphere, especially before there was a representative figure answer.

There were also a lot of people who came to watch the game today, and many of them were holding Embiid's signs.

It seems that the Emperor is very popular in Philadelphia......

From Xu Xuan's point of view, the steps under the emperor's basket are really good, very skillful, and very flexible between tossing and turning.

Compared with the current league's No. 1 center, Cousins, his steps are a little more floating, after all, his tonnage is lighter than his cousin, whose feet are gorgeous, but the impact is more fierce, and the styles of the two are a bit similar, but a little different......

Not to mention, looking at Xu Xuan, he really had the idea of trading Embiid over.

The Lakers have a lot of chips to get their hands on, and if Ingram and Galassell are included, this deal may not really happen.

Two-for-one, the 76ers would also consider the trade.

However, Ingram is not for sale here in Xu Xuan, and the only ones to pack are Russell and Randall or Zubac...... Two-for-one, or even three-for-one, but if this is a trade, the 76ers probably won't agree......
