Chapter 779: I'm Really Angry! (Fourth Update!) )

The cheers at the scene exploded directly.

Mitchell's one-on-one hit Simmons not only scored, but also 2+1!

And the way of scoring is also quite difficult!

The war of words off the field, the mutual soaring between the two in the first half, all of which were not directly powerful by this ball!

Although not everyone can hear the phrase "I am the best rookie", the wild and arrogant expression fully reveals his character.

At this moment, Mitchell is the best rookie in their hearts!

George came over at this time to high-five Mitchell, and this goal not only boosted Mitchell's self-confidence, but also the morale of the entire Nets team.

Judging by the reaction of the audience, the Nets have begun to gain momentum.

Mitchell hit a free throw, and the Nets went on a 5-0 run to stretch the margin to 15 points.

This is a very dangerous statistic.

McConaughey controlled the ball to the frontcourt, less than a minute before the end of the quarter.

The ball went to Embiid in the low post, and Embiid singled Oden, turned and hit a shot from a back.

The 76ers finally broke the scoring drought.

The Nets' frontcourt offense, George's three-point shot to catch the ball was off, Embiid received the defensive rebound, and the 76ers played the fast break directly.

Simmons received the ball in the frontcourt and galloped, started to accelerate against George's three-point line, and rushed to the interior to fly to the basket.

"Smack!"

But the moment he picked up the ball, George made a quick shot and broke the ball in his hand.

Simmons made a flying dunk in the air, but the ball in his hand was gone.

George dribbled directly after breaking the ball, and the Nets directly countered a fast break.

The 76ers rushed through half court, and it was a little too late to react, as George raced to the front court and dunked the ball into the basket before the final whistle.

81-68, the Nets scored 31-18 in the first quarter, leading by 15 points to end the third quarter.

During the intersectional break, the scene used slitting shots to give Mitchell and Simmons respectively.

Mitchell looked excited while listening to Tang Tian's tactics in his jersey, while Simmons sat on the bench in a training suit, his expression was not too good.

Aside from Mitchell's direct confrontation with Simmons, Simmons played worse than Mitchell in the second half.

Of course, it has a lot to do with the players they play against, with Mitchell playing Belinelli most of the time and Simmons playing against George.

But that's what they each need to face, who called the 76ers without George!

The 76ers struggled to catch up in the fourth quarter, but they struggled to close the score once George found his groove.

In the end, the two sides tied in the final quarter, and the Nets also won 106-91 against the 76ers.

Butler got a team-high 23 points, 5 boards and 5 assists, George picked up in the second half, with 16 points, 7 boards and 3 assists, Jokic 15 points, 9 boards, 9 assists and 2 blocks, Mitchell got the most 20 points and 3 assists from the bench, and Oden also had a good performance of 8 points, 7 boards and 3 blocks.

On the 76ers' side, Embiid scored 25 points, 15 rebounds and 2 blocks, Redick and Saric each scored 18 points, Simmons performed well in the first half, but was limited by George in the second half, and the full-court statistics were fixed at 10 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

Despite the upturn, Simmons still lost the battle against Mitchell.

And after the game, many media took Mitchell's 2+1 against Simmons as a news picture, "Who is the best rookie?" Such a title is also full of salivation.

Simmons declined media interviews, and the team's individual performance in the loss was not good, so it is not surprising that he had such a reaction.

However, what is surprising is that Mitchell also refused to be interviewed after the game, leaving the reporters who were stunned in place a little overwhelmed.

Fortunately, George came over to take over and said that Mitchell was now only focusing on the court, which alleviated the embarrassment.

Later, news broke that Mitchell practiced at the Barclays Center after the game, which also made fans evaluate him more and more.

Judging from the regular season statistics alone, Simmons is indeed better, but that has a lot to do with the team's role positioning and ball possession, and from the perspective of playoff performance, Mitchell is not necessarily worse than Simmons.

In previous years, the best rookie had already been announced at this time, but because Xiao Hua was engaged in a Hollywood-style awards ceremony, some people really began to discuss whether Mitchell was more worthy of the honor of best rookie.

The fans discussed hotly, but the game between the Nets and the 76ers did not stop.

After the first two games, the series moved to Philadelphia to resume the game.

Back at home, the 76ers are in good shape, and the Nets' side of Irving and Butler are not feeling good, and the 76ers pull one back at home.

Embiid recorded a playoff high of 30 points and 15 rebounds, and Covington also hit six three-pointers to score 21 points, but Simmons' performance against George was still average, with 11 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

Suffering the first loss in the playoffs is a wake-up call for the players, there is no weak team in the playoffs, and if you are not careful, you may be eliminated from the competition.

The players are more focused and hardworking in practice, and that is a good thing for the Nets.

In the next two games, the Nets were 100 percent focused, Jokic and Oden's top defense against Embiid, Butler and George's two-gun pressing, and they started from defense and pressed the 76ers almost the whole time.

108-91, 89-73, the Nets won two games in a row on the road and at home, eliminating the 76ers 4-1 to advance to the Eastern Conference finals.

With both talent and squad upgrades, their path to the cut is significantly easier than in the previous two years.

The Nets' advance was expected by most people, and the performances of Simmons and Mitchell were more noteworthy in comparison.

After five games, Simmons averaged 30 minutes per game, 10.6 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists, shooting 45% from the field and 0% from three-point range.

Mitchell's play is just the opposite, and even from the regular season to the first and second rounds, his performance has been a step-by-step increase, averaging 15.7 points and 3.2 assists per game in five games, shooting 49% from the field and 38% from three-point range, which is the Nets' third scoring point behind Irving and George.

As a rookie, and in a four-star team like the Nets, it's really not easy or even incredible to be able to do this level.

This performance also proves that Tang Tian made the right choice in the offseason, although Mitchell has less game experience and may be older than Booker, but in terms of functionality, he is much better off the bench than Booker, and he is more trustworthy on the defensive end than Booker in the very defensive playoffs.

"Maybe we should really talk about the possibility of Mitchell being the rookie of the year, you know the 76ers' journey in the playoffs is over, and the Nets are going on, and Mitchell is even likely to appear on the Finals stage as a rookie." On TNT's latest show, Smith said seriously.
