The 76ers are now full of excitement, and after the team changes its tactics, even a strong team like the Rockets has the ability to play a wave of climaxes, and if they play other teams, it will naturally be no problem.

Within a few minutes of the opening game, the 76ers had already taken a six-point lead, and the morale of the whole team was high, and they had to continue to expand the score in one go.

On the Rockets' side, they already know the intentions of the 76ers, and now the 76ers, on the linkage, do a good job of Simmons and Embiid, as for the connection between Foltz and the two, it is not very tacit, if they really let them achieve the kind of cooperation of the Spurs, maybe the Rockets will be really difficult to play.

"Foltz, you're going to have to be a little bit more aggressive and cut inside, I guess, when the timeout comes up, their defense will be very targeted." Embiid said.

"Don't worry, I'll support you!"

"Everyone has to be ready to defend with all their might, the Rockets are likely to start fighting back after they get on the court!" As the team's boss, Embiid cautions everyone not to get too complacent.

Okafor looked at Embiid, now this team is more and more like Embiid's team, and his status is getting lower and lower.

On the contrary, he now hopes that the team is behind and can give himself a little more time to show himself, at least, to sign a good contract with another team in the future.

The timeout ended, the two sides returned to the pitch and the game resumed.

The Rockets are now on full alert, and everyone's faces look very serious, and at the beginning, it's like a different team.

As the defensive gate of the Rockets, Ariza has fierce eyes and always keeps an eye on Simmons.

Simmons still appeared in the old position, Ariza stared at him with a serious face, and the position had changed, jamming Simmons's left side and releasing some right side, forcing him to no longer break through to the baseline.

Simmons also felt the pressure from the defense, but I didn't just break through to the baseline, I would let my right hand break through, and I would underestimate myself.

Ariza hit Simmons' waist with one hand very covertly, and the whole person was firmly attached to Simmons, Simmons's shooting was not stable, as long as he blocked his breakthrough, his threat would drop a lot.

Simmons pressed down on his shoulders and took a big and quick step with his right foot to test Ariza.

Ariza is a veteran of defense, how can this kind of action deceive Ariza, always firmly stuck in position.

After two probes, Simmons suddenly started to kick in, one accelerated, half of his body pressed Ariza, and forced a break towards the free throw line.

Embiid saw Simmons move and immediately walked towards the free throw line to prepare for the pick-and-roll.

Capela ran in front of Embiid first, and the two faced each other without the ball, just not letting Embiid get close to the free throw line smoothly.

Seeing that the pick-and-roll was too late, Simmons dribbled under his crotch and swayed his body to find the best breakthrough route, and during the hesitation, Ariza regained a favorable defensive position.

"This way!" Foltz shouted towards the inside cut.

"Here's your chance!" Ariza's eyes lit up when he saw that Simmons' toes were already pointing towards Foltz and he was ready to pass.

Ariza made a sharp effort at his feet, and the whole person jumped out, and at the moment when Simmons shot the ball, one of Ariza's fingers had already touched the ball, changing the flight path of the ball.

"Harden grab the ball!" Paul shouted at Harden.

On the 76ers' side, Redick also ran towards the ball at the same time.

Or take a step ahead of Harden and take the ball down.

It was originally a good chance to break the ball, but it didn't work out, but the 76ers' offensive time was also about to go.

"Reddick, hurry up!" Embiid shouted as he looked at the screen with three seconds left in the twenty-four seconds.

Redick immediately turned around, dribbled, took a step outside the three-point line, and threw the ball.

DUANG!

The ball didn't go in, and although the Rockets didn't succeed in breaking the ball this time, the defensive tactics still worked.

Switching offense and defense, all members of the Rockets began to run actively, and just after halftime, after three leads, the ball went to Anderson, who was ambushed in the bottom corner.

Anderson made a three-point shot and the score became 8-5.

The 76ers' offense still adopts the same tactics, and Simmons has become more resolute in breaking through the middle this time, but he has not found any good opportunities under Ariza's winding defense.

As for Embiid, he was defended by Capela again and again, and there was no good opportunity to block and dismantle at all.

Foltz cut in and Simmons passed the ball straight towards Foltz.

"This ball is high, Foltz may not be able to catch it!" Ariza thought.

Foltz didn't jump up to reach the ball as if he didn't see the ball coming, but continued to run towards the baseline, Foltz ran over, and Ariza saw clearly that Redick was standing outside the three-point line, and his vision was completely blocked by Foltz.

After Redick received the ball, before Harden rushed over, he made a three-point shot directly and also scored.

"Ray, warm up and get ready to play!" D'Antoni shouted at Cheng Lei.

The opposing offense is now demoralized and needs to be suppressed with tough defense, while Harden's defense is a little loose.

The Rockets had the ball, and it was a rapid advance, and Harden faced Redick's defense, stepped back, shot in the middle, and also scored.

"Ariza, you can stop me, but you can't stop our entire team!" Simmons said with a slight smile.

"yes, I don't think so!"

The Rockets replaced Cheng Lei, and the defensive intensity came up all of a sudden.

The old routine, but this time, Simmons didn't find anyone who could pick him up, and every one of his teammates faced this Rockets' death defense, and none of them were in a good position.

I can only choose to take a risky high toss and want to give the ball back to Embiid.

Capela was ready, clicked the ball in the air, and then jumped again and took the ball down.

Cheng Lei was already running back quickly, and he was caught off guard by beating the 76ers.

Capello also made a long pass directly and threw it to Cheng Lei, Cheng Lei dribbled all the way and ran wildly, and Redick chased Cheng Lei desperately behind.

As soon as he took a step into the free throw line, Cheng Lei jumped directly, and the whole person flew up, his abdomen was hard in the air, and his body was raised, so that Redick behind him could only stop, helplessly looking at the empty Cheng Lei.

Bang dang!

Cheng Lei violently dunked the ball into the basket!

After dunking the basket, Cheng Lei did not pretend to hang on the basket, and after coming down directly, he was ready to start defending.

At this time, Fultz made a very beautiful dribble and deceived Paul, Foltz was taller than Paul, and under Paul's strict defense, he chose to press Paul sideways, and sat down little by little to hit inside.

This makes Paul have no good way, no way, the difference in height and arm span is difficult to completely eliminate.

When no one came up to help, Foltz sat down and beat Paul, pushed two steps inside the three-point line, and then raised the ball with one hand and made a motion to make a throw.

Paul pounced with all his might, and when he was about to hit the ball, Fultz made a direct shoulder back pass, a very small gap, and stuffed the ball to Embiid on the inside.

Embiid licked the basket easily and scored two points.
