Joel. Embiid sits on the bench at the Phu Quoc Center Arena, where he has watched the team lose more than once this season. But none of those losses made Embiid feel too uncomfortable. Because even if the team loses, at least Embiid proves himself. The responsibility for the loss is not on his head.

But today, watching the 76ers step by step into the abyss, Embiid is extremely uncomfortable. Because of this game, the team could not win and he himself failed to prove his ability.

"Another three-pointer! This is already Bogdanovic's fourth three-pointer of the day! He has been very consistent since moving to the Pacers this season. Today is no exception, the Brooklyn Nets really gave the Pacers a big gift! ”

Just as Embiid reflected on today's bad experience, the sound of the Nets tumbling sounded again. Embiid swallowed, then looked up at the large screen above him.

Sure enough, it's already 30 minutes. The Pacers had a 30-point lead over the 76ers by the end of the game. At this time, it is 2 minutes away from the end of the game.

This means that Embiid has no need to play. This also means that Embiid has been unable to change the outcome of this game. One of the challenges he has to face now is how to deal with the media later.

There is no doubt that after the game, Embiid will definitely be mobbed by the media. He must pay a painful price and responsibility for his previous remarks.

Before the game, Embiid threatened to take out the Pacers. The result? Not only did the 76ers suffer a bloodbath today, but Embiid's news is not plausible.

In the game, Embiid played 30 minutes and had 18 points and 7 rebounds. It seems that Embiid's stats are not bad. But if you add a 33 percent shooting percentage, Embiid's performance isn't great.

A center with a shooting rate of less than 40%, such efficiency is undoubtedly not enough. His 18 points were completely piled up by the number of high shots.

Henson's two-man strategy left Embiid at a loss, and it was arguably the most struggling game Embiid has played since entering the league.

His performance, combined with his pre-match rhetoric, was inevitable that he would be harassed by the media.

Henson's silence before the game only highlighted this disdain. Although the game is not over yet, Embiid has already lost face.

Two minutes later, an electronic beep rang out. Before the start of the game, a carnival was brewing in the Phu Quoc Center Stadium. But after the game, the Phu Quoc Center Arena seemed to be back to the lifeless state it was in a few years ago.

130-101, the Pacers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers by 29 points on the road. At 130 points, this is the Pacers' new high in a single game this season. With 29 points, it is also the largest margin of victory for the Pacers this season.

Henson used two humiliating records to repay the loss four days earlier. Henson proved with practical actions that the 76ers were able to defeat the Pacers by luck. Because the gap in hard power between the two sides is really huge with the naked eye.

After the game, reporters directly ignored Antetokounmpo, who scored 28 points and 8 rebounds, ignored Bogdanovic, who shot three-pointers, and ignored Oladipo, who played like a fish in water on the bench, and went straight to Embiid and Henson.

No matter how well the others performed, both of them were the focal points of this match.

Seeing so many reporters gathering towards him, Henson did not panic. After all, it was the scene he expected.

"Coach Henson, you won this game beautifully! What do you think of Embiid's performance? Do you think his play deserves his pre-match remarks!? ”

"If you deserve it, you have to ask Embiid, I can only say that even if you say something that stinks like a toilet pit, you have to digest it yourself. So the first lesson I taught Embiid was, never talk too hard. Henson shrugged, knowing that he was all disdainful right now.

"And what about the Pacers? You're shooting 51.3% from three-point range today! Do you think your three-pointers were the main reason for the win today? "One by one, the reporters scrambled to ask questions.

"Of course, that's the main reason why we're able to win, and I'll admit we can't shoot that from three-point range every game. However, some teams just don't seem to want to admit it. ”

When Henson refers to "certain teams", he naturally refers to the Philadelphia 76ers. He used a three-point shot to slap the 76ers head-on.

In this game, the 76ers' performance at the three-point line was undoubtedly terrible. Embiid was 1-of-3, Henderson was 0-of-2, Covington was 2-of-9 and Rodriguez was 1-of-4......

So Henson was right that day, the 76ers couldn't have crushed themselves with an incredible three-pointer every game.

It's not just Henson who brags about himself, but the rest of the Pacers players have also praised Henson's performance.

"Coach Henson's strategy is very clever, and without him, we would have had a hard time limiting Embiid." Brooke. Lopez said.

"Our strategy is actually very simple, Lopez defends and I wait for the opportunity to interfere. Coach Henson knew how to deal with Embiid from the start, but he didn't like to respond with his mouth. Antetokounmpo proudly announced Henson's victory.

In the interview stage after the game, Henson was out of the limelight. Embiid, on the other hand, was very embarrassed.

"Excuse me, are you happy with your 33% hit today?"

“......”

"Joel, before the game you said you were going to prove that the 76ers' victory over the Pacers wasn't luck. So today, do you feel like you've proven success? ”

“......”

"Embiid, today you took the most shots on the team, but your shooting percentage was the lowest on the team. How much do you think you are responsible for the loss of this game? ”

“......”

Naturally, reporters won't let go of this opportunity to embarrass Embiid, don't look at the bunch of reporters clamoring to make Henson look good before the game starts. But when the game is over, they will only be on the side of the winner.

However, the sideline interview was just the beginning, and in the post-match press conference, Joel Murphy was the first to do so. Embiid knows what it means to be bombarded by journalists.

Throughout the press conference, reporters did not ask Covington and Brett. Brown any questions. The only person they asked was Embiid!

Embiid was upset by those repetitive questions, he was in a bad mood when he lost, and now he was forced to answer embarrassing questions, and Embiid couldn't bear it.

"Okay, don't ask, I'll make a summary in one sentence!" So in the middle of the press conference, Embiid suddenly yelled, causing the noisy media reception room to fall silent for a moment.

Under the curious gazes of countless cameras and reporters, Embiid lowered his head and then approached the microphone, "I apologize for my remarks the other day, the Pacers are really strong, and they have undoubtedly proved it." Coach Henson has made me suffer a lot, and I now know why they won championships before. ”

It wasn't until Embiid took the initiative to relent, that the reporters stopped asking. Of course, this also means that Embiid, who has never been convinced, also announced Henson's victory.

and Henson. What happened to Joe's right? Embiid became the first person in the league to "defy the law" after Henson's return.

Super genius, but he still can't be an experienced super coach.

That night, Henson whistled out of the Phu Quoc Center arena. Without a doubt, it was the best game he has ever won this season.

His coolness didn't just come from the win in this game, but it gave Henson a glimpse of the greater possibilities of the Pacers.

Brogdon, Oladipo, Channing. Frye, Bogdanovic ...... The strength of these people and their role in the team have already been shown for the first time. The depth of the Pacers' roster also makes Henson very satisfied.

Challenge the Golden State Warriors and win the championship, why not?

After all, Henson is different from Embiid, and if he releases it, it usually doesn't turn into a blank check......
