New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks
Tang Tian couldn't laugh or cry when he heard Simmons' remarks after the game.
There are already many rookies in NBA history, or maybe there are no two rookies who have come and gone at all.
On the plus side, the two have also attracted a lot of attention for the playoffs.
Really speaking, in the previous life, the two were also-for-tat because of the best rookie, but now it is a little more direct than in the previous life, and the two are going to face each other directly on the stage of the playoffs.
Who is better Simmons or Mitchell?
This has actually been discussed a lot in previous lives.
Simmons is more well-rounded, but he also has the fatal shortcoming of not being good at projection.
Mitchell is a better scorer, but less talented than Simmons.
It was like this in the previous life, and it's pretty much the same now.
But if Tang Tianxuan were to choose, he would still choose Mitchell.
Mitchell's competitiveness is something that most rookies, if not most players, don't have, and that's important in the playoff arena, which is why Mitchell was able to lead the team to the second round in his previous life, and why he would choose the latter between Booker and Mitchell.
And Simmons's point of not being good at projection was too lethal in the small-ball era, as James was forced to practice projection in that era, let alone Simmons.
Of course, no one knows what the future holds, just like Griffin debuted in 2010 and suddenly fell in the end, Simmons looks like the next James, who can be sure that he won't be the next Griffin?
At least Mitchell can guarantee a better lower limit.
The 76ers won the tiebreaker, and on the other court, Simmons developed the ultimate version of James, slashing a big triple-double of 45 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists at home at the age of 34, and forced the Cavaliers into the second round.
So far, the eight teams in the semifinals of the East and West have finally been released.
In the West, the Warriors will face the Pelicans, who swept the Trail Blazers, and the Rockets will face the Spurs, who are missing Leonard.
In the East, the Nets face the 76ers, who are in a tiebreaker, and the Cavaliers, who stumbled into the second round, will face the Celtics, who have long been ready.
The Nets and 76ers are undoubtedly the most interesting.
Not just because of the feud between Simmons and Mitchell, but also because both teams are upstarts in the East.
Needless to say, the Nets' lineup is needless to say, on the side of the 76ers, Embiid, the "Emperor" who can finally play on the court, was 2072 last season, and this season is 22113, and the playoffs are 2212.63 so far, and the 76ers have been back for two years to wait for a final return.
Simmons also took a year off, with 1588 in his rookie season and 16.3 points, 9.4 rebounds and 7.7 assists in the playoffs.
Redick, who signed in 20 million a year, averaged 17 points per game and 42 three-point shooting.
Saric is also in his second year of rookie season, 1473 in the regular season, and averaged 17.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game in the playoffs.
and Belinelli, who was signed at the buyout deadline, was also able to score 13 points on 35 three-point shooting.
Plus the best 3D Robert Covington, Ilyasova who was traded, and TJ McConaughey from the Nets, as well as the top pick Lang Fultz.
The 76ers played a tie-break in the first round, but in terms of strength on paper, they have the capital to fight against the Nets.
On April 30, U.S. time, after two days of rest, the first game of the Nets and 76ers series finally kicked off in Brooklyn.
The Barclays Center was packed with people, with many fans holding signs in support of Mitchell.
"Defeat that man!" Donovan Mitchell, Rookie of the Year! "Mitchell: I don't pay attention to Simmons either. ”……
Slogans like these fully express the inner thoughts of New York fans, which is to see Mitchell and Simmons face off.
After the opening ceremony, the starters of both teams came on one after another.
On the Nets' side, the team ushered in Irving's comeback, and Tang Tian also put him in the starting lineup.
Irving and Butler on the outside, George and Yi Jianlian on the outside, Jokic on the center.
On the 76ers' side, Simmons and Redick on the outside, Covington and Saric on the front, and Embiid on the center.
In the midfield, Embiid jumped for the 76ers.
Simmons carries the ball to the frontcourt, directly on the outside of the playmaker.
At this moment, the Nets' defense left the eyes of the fans in the stadium wide.
The Nets' defense is systematic, and at this time, Irving has already switched to Covington, and it is George, who is directly against Simmons, and George is at least two meters away from Simmons, which is exactly the same as when other teams put Rondo!
Redick was guarded close to Butler on the weak side, Irving followed Covingtal to the bottom corner, Embiid and Saric played at the free throw line, but George was standing nearby, and their offensive space was compressed.
The Raptors and the 76ers played fast, Simmons was like a fish in water, but Tang Tian would not do this, he would only seize the point that Simmons was not good at projecting and target him to death.
When he coached the Rockets to play the Cavaliers in the Finals, James was hung at the three-point line for an entire series, and Simmons naturally couldn't escape.
And Simmons is standing in front of George, even if he wants to rush with the ball, George will not give him an easy layup.
Simmons is like a young James, but after all, it's not like it's hard to press George one-on-one to score.
Simmons also knew this, so it was very embarrassing to stand on the outside for a long time with the ball, seeing that George had no sudden thoughts, but the passer couldn't run away.
After hesitating until the last half of the offensive time was still in his hands, he could only signal Embiid to drop low and hit the ball with his back.
But this step was also expected by the Nets before the game, Jokic reached out to interfere at this time, and did not give Embiid an easy chance to receive the ball.
Simmons lifted the ball for a long time and was stunned that he didn't send it in.
In the end, he had no choice but to give the ball to Saric at the free throw line, which was for him to organize, and he ran without the ball.
George saw it and posted it directly, and he didn't give the opportunity to catch the ball.
Redick and Simmons ran for a long time without a chance, Saric could only hit Yi Jianlian hard, turned to the basket and barely missed the shot, and the defensive rebound was turned around by Yi Jianlian to accept it.
The forward line of Butler and George is really useful, and the 76ers can't fight at all.
Irving singled Saric through the front court, and hit a pull-up jump shot that changed backwards in succession.
Although he has just returned from injury, he has been in very good shape thanks to plenty of rest.
The 76ers sent the ball quickly in the backcourt, and Simmons ran forward with the ball, he wanted to take the initiative to speed up.
But the Nets retreated quickly, and by the time he rushed to the frontcourt, the Nets' positional defense was completely in place.
The live camera was given to Simmons, who glanced at George, who was standing two meters away from the free throw line, and his expression was a little overwhelmed.
