Chapter 204 204, the last battle in October

On the last day of October, the Rockets will host the 76ers, the second meeting between the two teams this season, the last time the Rockets played away in Philadelphia, Embiid did not cause problems for the Rockets, fortunately, the champion Fultz did not fully integrate into the team, and now playing the 76ers again, it should not be as easy as last time.

Cheng Lei also likes the 76ers team, because it was Iverson's parent team, and for a while, Cheng Lei was very obsessed with Iverson's offensive skills, and often pulled Wu Chunlei to simulate.

The current 76ers team is young, energetic, and a gathering place of champions, and the future is promising.

At that time, Iverson almost made the 76ers a god by himself, but in the end, he was brought down in front of the powerful Lakers, which may also be the biggest regret of Iverson's basketball career.

After Iverson left the 76ers, the 76ers' results have been at the bottom of the league, and after years of rotten, they have the current team with outstanding talent.

"The 76ers have played well in the first few games, and this year, if Embiid is healthy, they have the ability to make the playoffs!" In the conference room, the main coach said with the 76ers' game materials.

"Foltz's performance in these games is relatively stable, everyone must not be careless!"

In this pre-match meeting, the assistant coach mainly analyzed the current strength of the opposing team and the technical characteristics of each position.

On the big screen in the conference room, the edited video materials are playing.

"Foltz's recent three-pointer seems to be back in confidence!" Cheng Lei looked at the clip of Foltz's goal in the video and said.

"Well, at the airport recently, his three-point shooting rate is above 40%!" The assistant coach agreed.

However, Simmons still seems to be the same, still without three points, but his positional play is also more inside, and he rarely appears outside the three-point line.

After the assistant coach helped the opponent explain the situation, head coach D'Antoni said: "Let's talk about what you think of the 76ers now!" ”

"It's no surprise that his core is still Embiid, and for this point, it will definitely not be completely limited if he plays the position!" Paul said.

"However, fortunately, he has just recovered from his injury, and now the playing time is strictly controlled, and it should only be twenty minutes!"

"If Embiid is removed, the rest of them still need to grow, especially this year's champion Foltz, although it is a little warmer and better than before, but there is still more run-in with the team!"

"At that time, Simmons, I thought he didn't have three-point ability, the shortcomings will be obvious, in the recent game, he still wants to break out, and the mid-range shooting is very stable!"

Paul has analyzed the current 76ers team in an easy-to-understand manner, and it can be seen that Paul is very familiar with this team.

Because they have played against the 76ers once, all the members of the Rockets are not very worried, and Embiid, who is the most threatening on their side, can only play for 20 minutes, and without Embiid's 76ers, the grade will drop a lot.

In the last race of October, everyone wants to win and come up with a perfect result to enter the competition in November.

"Actually, the 76ers have a lot of great people now, but, I don't know why, they always have a bad run-in, such as Okafor, if he can appear on the court at the same time as Embiid, then, for any team, it will be very uncomfortable!" Harden said lazily.

Maybe it's because the coach of the 76ers hasn't found a way to use Embiid and Okafor at the same time, so he can only separate the two players and put them on the court.

"I'm talking about it, the 76ers team as a whole is the situation you mentioned earlier, but don't be careless, they are young, and the biggest thing about young people is that they are motivated, so don't be careless!"

"Also, I always say every game, play our own rhythm, don't play with their rhythm!" Coach D'Antoni gave the final wrap-up.

After the pre-match meeting, everyone returned to the dressing room for final preparations.

On the Rockets' comment bench, this time we invited the same Rockets and 76ers defensive stalwart who played for the team, Mutombo, and as for the other, that is, Miller, who has hardly appeared on the comment bench this year.

As a generation of super shooters, Miller used to be infinitely beautiful, and his Miller moment is now also talked about, after retiring, Miller began to start his own work as a commentator, and he did it well, step by step.

Foltz of the 76ers, the whole person is very excited today, the recent state has rebounded, the shame of losing last time, this time must be a shame.

After the last competition, the news was overwhelming that he was a parallel commodity and couldn't get the two second-round shows, and this time, he wanted to prove why he became the champion.

As for the 76ers, there is another person who is very unhappy, and that is Okafor.

During Embiid's injury, he was a real main center, and the statistics were very good in all aspects, but the management of the 76ers still chose Embiid.

After Embiid returned, his factory time was greatly reduced, and the main position was also deprived, and it seemed hopeless that he wanted to seek a contract with a maximum salary.

The home court of the Rockets is still full, which makes the 76ers managers who accompanied the team envious, when will the attendance rate of their home court be so high.

After the players on both sides changed their clothes, they began to come out of the players' tunnel, and the big screen in the middle of the stadium began to play the list of starters of both sides.

As expected, nothing has changed.

The 76ers put out Foltz, Redick, Simmons, Saric and Embiid as the regular starting lineup for this year.

Cheng Lei is also thinking about whether this lineup will be more powerful if Okafor replaces Sharic.

"Foltz, are you ready for this game?" Simmons quipped.

"In this game, we have to try to win it with all our might, and if we can win, we will be in the top eight in the East! I'm full of energy right now! Fultz said confidently.

"Today, let Team Rocket see what we're really capable of!" Simmons said with his fists clenched.

The last time they played against the Rockets, neither of them played very well, and it was also the reason for the loss.

"They look like they're excited today!" Paul said as he looked at the 76ers' half.

Simmons actually came to warm up with a big windmill slam dunk in the air, which was rare before.

"Do you want to give them back?" Harden said.

"What do you say?" With that, Paul threw the ball straight towards the basket.

Capela under the basket knew Paul's intentions with a look, jumped up, and came to an aerial relay.

The warm-up dunk of both sides caused the audience to cheer, and the game had not yet started, and the audience was already very lively.
