Chapter 482: Facing the Heat! (1/3)
The preseason forced the Warriors like this, which also shows that the 76ers are still somewhat prepared this season.
The Warriors and their opponents all gave up in the third quarter.
The preseason entered the practice time again, and the third quarter finally ended with 86:81!
In the final quarter of the game, the main players of both sides were all off the court, watching the benches and this year's rookies finish the game.
115:101! The Warriors won easily.
At the end of the game, the camera was also given to Kuzma, who was sitting on the bench.
He was the brightest of the newcomers in Philadelphia tonight.
Cole: "I'm looking forward to meeting you in the regular season right now~"
Brown: "With more than 10 games left in the preseason, this season looks like a long one."
Cole: "Although there is a lot of controversy about Li Feng right now.
But I feel like your team spent $23 million to snatch Li Feng, and it's all worth it."
Without waiting for Brown to respond, Cole left with a smile.
The players were quite casual, and the Warriors managed to maintain their dignity in the end.
And the 76ers players didn't care.
Simmons left the arena early and went straight home.
In this game, West had 18 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists! Bell had 8 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists, and Nick Young had 26 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists! Curry 19 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists! Thompson 20 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists!
After the first preseason game, Nick Young was the most eye-catching!
After the Warriors got him, they felt that if Curry and Thompson were to rest in the future, they could let Nick Young play to replace either of them!
Bell is a player that the Warriors have also taken seriously this season, and his style is similar to Green's.
Expected to take Green's place at a later date.
On the 76ers' side, Embiid has 16 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks! Kuzma 24 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists! Belinelli had 6 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists, and Bayless had 12 points, 1 rebound and 7 assists! Li Feng 21 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists!
Li Feng didn't want to make a move, but the Warriors forced them to play seriously, and there was no way for Li Feng to play.
The best game for the 76ers was Kuzma.
Although it was a preseason game, Kuzma's star stats made Brown feel relieved.
Embiid: "Hello? Simmons? Why didn't I see you after the game?
You don't shut yourself up because of a preseason game, do you? ”
Simmons: "No...... But I didn't do very well in this game. So just came back first."
Embiid: "Kuzma is a really good player! Let's see how he plays in the next game.
Out at night? Tell your parents that you're not going back tonight~"
Simmons: "Cut." I didn't live with my parents for a long time ~Just kidding~"
Embiid: "I told you, don't play in the preseason. When to play?
Hurry up and pack your things and go out in the evening! As a player who must revive Philadelphia, the burden on his body is very heavy~"
Simmons: "No one can save the 76ers!" I said it! Do you know how we've been here for the past few years?! ”
Embiid: "Are you Ah Wei?" It's pretty cute~"
Simmons: "You're talking a lot today?!" I can't shoot well tonight, but if I fight, you're not necessarily my opponent! ”
Embiid: "Thanks to you being a man, you are my brother~"
Simmons: "??? ”
Embiid: "I'm still on my rookie contract!" My phone bill! Send a private message, hang up quickly! ”
……
Li Feng took the money to invite the team once, and the new season was put on the agenda.
Although there are still negative elements in the team, they are actually looking forward to the new season.
The intentions of the team management are clear.
They believe in Li Feng's ability, and this season can't help but be Li Feng's proof journey, but also the team's proof journey!
The team is not very demanding this season, and it is enough to be able to reach the second round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
But Li Feng is a player who can bring miracles!
All the teams he went to won the championship!
The 76ers don't hope that Li Feng will also be able to lead the team to win the championship, after all, this is unrealistic.
Game 2 of the preseason, 76ers vs. Miami Heat!
The whole team travels to Miami. This season, the Heat signed rookie Adebayo.
It's excellent in terms of defense, physical confrontation, speed, etc.
The camera moves away from Adebayo's side to Wade.
The fans at the scene immediately burst into cheers.
Then there was Riley's side, and Riley was looking at Li Feng at this time.
The two then said hello, and every season you don't want any player you can get directly.
Riley then sighed and returned to his seat.
It didn't take long for the starters from both sides to be on the pitch tonight.
On the Heat's side, Whiteside, Bam Adebayo, Winslow, Ellington and Dragic are in that order.
The 76ers' starters today are Embiid, Kuzma, Roport, McConnell and Ball.
If the Heat continue to play well this year, this team will still play well.
When Wade wasn't with the Heat last season, the team was also consistently in the top eight!
Whiteside went straight to the basket and then passed it to Dragic.
Ellington immediately jumped after receiving the ball, but the basketball hit the iron, and Adebayo got the ball and threw it to Winslow.
The latter scored with a close-range jumper!
It's not like Philadelphia doesn't want to win, but what Brown wants to see is a preseason win for rookies and new players this season.
Bauer did a lot of preparation today!
The intensity of the NBA game is really different from that in college!
Ball was wrong before he came to the league, and now he needs to adapt to the game again.
Getting the ball, he carefully crossed the half-court and then immediately passed the ball to Kuzma.
Against a strong Adebayo, Kuzma immediately dodged his defence.
This guy can't fight against him!
McConnell, who was on the outside, had just shaken off Ellington's defense when he received a pass from his teammate and then got up and hit a three-point shot!
Continuing the form of the previous game, Kuzma was still very calm in handling the ball in this game.
Brown was so happy at this time!
That's what they're lacking right now!
The rest of the players need to be developed at the moment.
Kuzma seems to have been born with this ability, and his technical aspects are basically average.
But in the game, Kuzma is very good at taking advantage of some ready-made conditions to play!
Dragic held the ball past half the court, and Hassan immediately turned around and scored points after receiving his pass!
Ball escorted the basketball to the frontcourt, and Embiid got his pass and attracted the defense to pass the ball again!
Kuzma makes a three-point shot from the corner!
Unlike the Warriors' game, the intensity of this game was much weaker.
The 76ers were seriously preparing, Winslow carried the ball to the frontcourt, and then was defended by Embiid when he went to the basket.
Ellington hit a jumper after receiving the basketball in time!
......
19:16! So far in the game, Wade of the Heat and Li Feng of the 76ers have not played.
The same goes for Simmons, who has been preparing from the sidelines.
Dragic got up straight and hit a three-point shot!
Ball then hit the first 2-pointer of the game!
Adebayo catches the ball again and hooks up! 24:18!
The first quarter of the game is over!
In the second quarter of the game, Wade replaced Ellington on the Heat side, Booker from Philadelphia, Li Feng and Simmons on the court!
Wade: "Riley told me we might meet this season.
But your team management still snatched you away. I think you'll come to Miami sooner or later, right? ”
Li Feng: "Maybe." I generally listen to my agent."
Wade: "Let's play in the second quarter?" You may come to the Heat, but maybe I'll be retired by then~"
The two briefly talked and laughed, and Brown didn't ask Li Feng to listen to his arrangement.
Because Li Feng doesn't need it either. Nothing new.
Simmons listened to the coach's arrangement with his hands on his hips.
I was a little angry in my heart.
Li Feng, this guy is too arrogant......
When he thought about it, Simmons felt a little weak. This is one of the main reasons why he has been very uncomfortable lately.
He was jealous of the treatment, salary and fans' support for him.
But there is nothing that can be done about it.
Because Li Feng is indeed much stronger than him in terms of ability.
When I came back from an injury last season, I felt like I was starting to be out of place, and I couldn't play on the field.
The performance was very inconsistent and there were good moments, but not much.
At this time, the second quarter of the game begins, and the Heat can say that this quarter will become more difficult to play.
The two came to the arena talking and laughing, and Wade and Dragic also said a few words.
Then the game started with Simmons holding the ball to face Dragic.
The two were entangled for almost 20 seconds, and in the end, Simmons did not pass the ball but directly forced past Dragic and then made a pull-up jump shot!
Bam Adebayo rushed to block Simmons' ball before passing to Winslow.
The latter rushed to the front court and scored points with one hand without defense!
Li Feng: "Look at some people, I said~"
Simmons: "I don't need you to teach me!!" ”
Embiid: "Calm down. ”
After seeing Simmons suddenly shake off Li Feng's arm, Embiid immediately walked over and said to Simmons.
Li Feng was startled at first, and then immediately ran over to defend himself.
Embiid: "What's wrong with you?" If you keep doing this, the 76ers won't let you play like this all the time."
Simmons said at this time, "You helped Li Feng teach me a lesson?" Look at Embiid.
Embiid: "Li Feng didn't do anything wrong, he hasn't seen us all the time, why should you bother?!" ”
Simmons: "If you say that, don't talk to me!" ”
Embiid: "I'll just say it!" Champion?! Look at the champions in the league who still can't play! What are you!! ”
In the middle of the conversation between the two, Adebayo passed the ball to Wade, who hit a three-point shot!
27:18! Just now, the Heat hit three of five and completed another offense.
Brown: "??? ”
Embiid and Simmons just ...... Got into a fight? Should I suspend the two of them?
Li Feng: "Simmons preseason relaxed. You're still suffering from injuries, aren't you?
I think you are. I wouldn't have won the championship last season if I hadn't had my teammates finishing last.
At that time, Kobe Bryant and I were both injured and went down.
There are indeed a lot of highlights in the strong individual strength in the game, but after all, the game is still five people. You tell me? ”
Seeing that Simmons didn't speak for a long time, Embiid slammed him on the shoulder.
Simmons: "You...... Maybe I'll need ...... in the ring."
Li Feng: "I need your help, I need the help of my teammates in the whole team. I'm the only one who can't win against my opponent~"
This step made Simmons' heart soften a lot.
Embiid burst out laughing and patted Simmons on the back.
It seems that Li Feng has been winning the championship in the past few years, and it is not unreasonable.
The opponent scored three points again, and Li Feng immediately passed the ball to Simmons and asked him to feed himself the ball in the middle of the court.
Simmons didn't think much of it and immediately passed the ball at the right time, making it difficult for him to score now.
But in a game, if it takes a hard time to pass the ball, then you don't have to play.
Let's retire directly.
After Li Feng received the ball, he faked to shake off Peter Pan, and directly got up and hit a three-point back!
Brown saw that his players on the scene had already cooperated, so he gave up the idea of taking a timeout.
He really wanted to replace Simmons right away.
I don't know what's wrong with this guy, but he played well last season.
At least he can play the strength of a blue-collar ordinary defender. But now looking at him, let alone the strength of ordinary blue-collar players, he can't even compare to many rookies in this year.
For example, compared with Kuzma, Simmons, who can also play on the front line, performed far worse than Kuzma in the last game.
Winslow held the ball past half the court and was then defended by Roport, and Simmons got the ball and went back to the front court.
This time, Li Feng blocked Simmons, who got up and jumped next to Li Feng and hit a 2-point shot!
Simmons, who got the score, is not so tight.
The bench was cheering for him, and the Philadelphia fans were cheering for him.
The media still takes Simmons very seriously.
Wade immediately passed the half, and Adebayo received a feed from Peter Pan and scored a close-range jumper!
Li Feng passed half the court, and then hit the ground and passed to Simmons in the battle with Wade.
The latter got up and hit the iron with three points, but fortunately, Embiid made up for it in time to score 2 points!
Against the Heat, the 76ers were able to keep the difference within 10 points with the opposing team.
Li Feng passed half the court at this time, and while the other party was not paying attention, he decisively jumped up and hit a three-point shot!
32:28! The Heat generally hovered between 7-11.
This has been the case in recent seasons, so they can't compete with the Warriors, who are in the top three in the West.
In the game, it's hard for them to get rid of the players from Philadelphia's side right now.
Wade can only try to control the tempo in the game and let the young players and some teammates find more feeling.
Hassan then got a pass from Wade, but was nervous and dunked the ball away in front of Embiid.
Embiid got the rebound and threw the ball to Simmons.
After Li Feng went to the front court, he received the ball and jumped directly here for three points, hollow into the net!
Riley was about to take a timeout. 32:31!
The score of the 76ers is about to overtake!
Simmons felt much better at this point.
Brown saw Simmons at this time, and his spirit was also relaxed.
The 76ers still have a leader player this season, so that's why it has this effect.
Whether it is the rhythm or the confidence of the whole team, Li Feng can control it very well!
