Chapter 841: The Tiger's Ass Can't Be Touched

Joel. Embiid didn't have the slightest advantage in the interior hand-to-hand combat, and Gobert's tough style surprised him a little. Drummond is also the league's top interior defender, but he can't do anything about it. But Gobert, a Frenchman, is like a mad dog on the defensive end today, biting Embiid to death.

Unwillingly, Embiid pushed back hard, and this time, Gobert took a slight step back. But before Embiid could find an opportunity, Gobert quickly adjusted and pressed back on.

Gobert is much more aggressive on the defensive end than Drummond in the last game. Embiid had no choice but to hook his shot, which is the least likely way to be blocked and interfered with. Even small guards like Thomas Jr. and Curry often use small hooks to score goals on the heads of big men after breaking.

However, Gobert didn't give Embiid any space, and he disrupted Embiid's rhythm with a tough block, and the hook was a fraction of a millimeter away from the basket, but it still knocked out of the frame.

15 points, 2 minutes and 18 seconds to go before the end of the game, Embiid has scored 15 points. Gobert assured Yiyang that he wouldn't let Embiid score more than 15 points. That is, from now until the end of the game, he can no longer let Embiid score!

In fact, even if Gobert allowed Embiid to score more than 15 points, Yiyang would not be unhappy. But Gobert himself won't allow that to happen, he won't get into a verbal altercation with Embiid, let alone get into a physical altercation. He wants to use basketball to respond to Embiid's provocation!

The 76ers' offense missed again, but that won't make Jalen any longer. Ross fussed. Since being beaten 11-0 in the opening game, the 76ers have not played well.

In the third quarter, Simmons and Embiid's fiery form allowed them to narrow the gap to four points! However, at the beginning of the fourth quarter, after the Mavericks re-strengthened their defense, the 76ers' offense became inefficient again.

Yiyang walked leisurely through the half, and the performance of the young team was easily affected by emotions. When you're behind, the 76ers' defense can get frizzy. Now, it's easy for the Mavericks to break down the 76ers' defense. Therefore, Yiyang is not in a hurry at all.

He only called for a pick-and-roll, drew the defense and passed the ball to Mitchell, who cut inside. In this way, Yiyang completed the assist, and the Mavericks also scored easily.

Baylors had no way to take Mitchell, and this was already Mitchell's 19th point of the game. As a rookie who almost fell out of the lotto zone, Mitchell's performance was intimidating enough. Embiid and Simmons, two supernovas, were overshadowed by Mitchell today.

"Donovan. Mitchell, and Yi's another beautiful pass to match. This guy is simply Dwayne, who won two O'Brien Cups that year. Wade! He perfectly replicated Wade's role with the Mavericks, and no, he will definitely become stronger than Wade in his twilight years in the future! ”

At this point, the 76ers have trailed by 14 points. In the face of the defense of the Dallas Mavericks, it is impossible to tie the 14-point score in 2 minutes.

What's even more terrifying is that even though they have taken so many leads, the Mavericks have no intention of relaxing. Looking at Gobert's gritted teeth on defense, the belief that Embiid can't score more than 15 points has been ingrained in his mind.

Hayward did a good job of keeping Simmons out of the three-second zone, and Embiid was stared to death by a red-eyed Gobert. Brett. Brown called a halt to the game at this critical moment, but when he returned from the timeout, Brown found that Carlisle had replaced Yiyang with Moodier and Rudy with Kuzma. Guy.

What does this mean? This represents Rick. Carlisle has sworn that he has won the game!

As it turned out, Carlisle was not blindly arrogant when he replaced the main team early. As he planned, as long as Embiid and Simmons are choked, the 76ers' offense is no threat.

In the final two minutes, Kuzma and Moodier used their talents to the fullest, while Simmons and Embiid, two awe-inspiring supernovas, could only learn from one defeat after another.

When the full-game electronic beep sounded, Embiid covered his head with his hands in disbelief. 15 points and 9 rebounds, this statistic is actually not bad. But compared to the 30+10 in the last game against Drummond, it is obviously a little inadequate.

Gobert walked off the court sweating profusely, and he kept asking Carlisle to let him play until the last minute. The Frenchman kept his word and did everything in his power to limit Embiid's scoring to 15 points. You know, before that, Embiid averaged 22.9 points per game. Moreover, he also controlled Embiid's shooting percentage at 42.3%. For this interior player, such a shooting percentage is definitely not high.

Embiid also thought that he could overturn the river and sea in the center of the American route like bullying Drummond, but unfortunately, he ran into a "suffocating tower" with a stronger desire to win than himself!

"Well done Rudy, you're our MVP tonight." Yiyang happily took the initiative to give Gobert a high-five, the guy said that he would not let Embiid score more than 15, Yiyang actually didn't pay much attention to it at first. Unexpectedly, for the sake of commitment, he was so desperate.

What about Simmons? 13 points, 7 assists and 7 rebounds, which is still a close to triple-double. Yiyang's worries are not unreasonable, even if Hayward has done his best defense today, even if the Mavericks have deliberately blocked Simmons' pass today, he still cut a "quasi-triple-double" data.

Simmons, unlike Embiid, just left silently after the loss and didn't linger long. But Yiyang saw that the joints of the guy's palms had turned white from clenching their fists hard!

Embiid and Simmons have impressed Yiyang, and they do have the potential to make the 76ers the future league hegemon. But as long as I haven't retired, you don't have to pipe dream about it!

"Joel, what do you think of Rudy today. What about Gobert's defense against you? Embiid was about to walk into the players' tunnel, but his way was blocked by a Chinese reporter. Of course, he didn't know that what he was looking at was Yiyang's loyal supporter, Mougin.

"He had several fouls, but the referee ignored them. To be honest, he played too dirty. And all the people who play dirty are soft eggs in my opinion! Embiid replied to Mougins without blushing or heartbeat, thinking that this reporter was just as foolish as everyone else.

"Even though he only committed three fouls in this game, do you think Gobert didn't play clean?"

Embiid obviously didn't expect Mougins to ask, and his nonsense naturally couldn't justify himself. "I said it, the referee ignored it, so he didn't foul him. The next time we meet, I'll make the French pay! ”

After Embiid finished speaking, he left angrily. If you don't give yourself a reporter under the steps, the "Emperor" is the first time I've seen it.

It is precisely because of Embiid's successful defense that Gobert, the behind-the-scenes hero who has been silently protecting Yiyang, has become a favorite in the eyes of reporters today.

Accustomed to seeing the "Emperor" wreaking havoc in the alliance, the reporters were really a little surprised when someone suddenly stood up to restrain Embiid. Even if today's best player is Yiyang, even today Yiyang cut 29 points, 11 assists and 3 steals gorgeous statistics. But Yiyang has come up with this kind of performance, and everyone has become accustomed to it. Goebel's positivity shocked people.

"If Rudy can maintain this defensive form, it won't be surprising that he will win the Defensive Player of the Year award this year!" After the game, Jalen. Ross even gave Goebel such an assessment.

At the press conference, Mougins "secretly" told Gobert about Embiid's remarks, just to make Gobert respond to Embiid in front of the media.

But before Goebel could speak, Yiyang, who was sitting on the stage, rarely took the initiative to steal the right to speak.

"Playing dirty? IMHO, if Rudy gets dirty, that Embiid guy won't even get 10 points! ”

"Poof!" Simmons, who watched the live broadcast of the press conference on the team bus, almost laughed, if Embiid hadn't glared at Simmons, it is estimated that he would not have been able to hold back.

"It won't be like that next time I go back to home! Damn it! Embiid looked at the arena outside the bus window, what a hell it was here!

So far this season, the 76ers' record has become 5-1. But there was no game that made Embiid feel so desperate to lose. It seems that from the cold-blooded ultra-long-distance three-point shot in Yiyang's shot to widen the difference to 11 points, the outcome has been doomed.

Yiyang killed the game with the most steady ball skills, and then responded to the opponent's provocation with the most vicious language without dirty words.

Embiid hasn't been in the league for a long time, but he has already made countless enemies. But most of the time, the megalomaniacal Embiid has the last laugh.

Only this time, he touched the tiger's ass.

Defeating the talented 76ers, the Mavericks started the game with seven straight wins. Cuban has a hunch that this will be the start of another great season for the Mavericks.
