Chapter 836: Reality Is Cruel (1/3!) )

With Redick and Korver, there hasn't been much change in the lineup for the 76ers.

Korver, like Redick, is dominated by off-ball running tactics on the offensive end.

Coach Brown's substitution shows that he doesn't want to adjust, but wants to keep the style of play in the first two games as much as possible.

His idea was right, but Korver, like Redick, was a defensive colander, although it was a little higher, but the confrontation was slow and was also slammed.

It was only two minutes before Mitchell and George made two hitters in a row, and gave the Nets four points for nothing.

Brown couldn't help but watch from the sidelines, and was forced to go to Covington.

Covington is standard 3-and-D, which allows the 76ers to solve problems on the defensive end.

But such a substitution also means that they have one less tactical initiation point on the offensive end, and the Nets can safely let Irving defend against Covington and Butler defend against Simmons.

Butler's help defense is much better than Irving's, and Simmons is wantonly making up for the three-point line, and the 76ers' offense is even more obscure, and they can only rely on James and Embiid's sporadic one-on-one scoring.

After the strategic suppression, Coach Brown really seemed to be a little helpless.

To put it bluntly, it's not just a matter of coaches' abilities, the 76ers' starters have obvious weaknesses that can be targeted, including Redick, Simmons, and even Covington.

But on the Nets' side, except for Irving, they all have both offense and defense, and it is this Irving, who is still against Simmons, who can be put down, or Covington, who has no ability to score on his own.

It's like what Tang Tian said at the beginning and Frank: They have weaknesses, but we don't have weaknesses for them.

The 76ers are in a stalemate, and James is a drop in the bucket no matter how capable he is, not to mention that his physical strength can no longer guarantee that he can play an efficient performance throughout the game.

103-86, the Nets finally beat the 76ers on the road, rewriting the big score to 2-1.

James had 28 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, Embiid had 21 points and 13 boards, Simmons had 10 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, and Saric had 11 points and 6 rebounds.

On the Nets' side, George scored a game-high 31 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals, starting five, plus Yi Jianlian on the bench, six scored double-doubles.

"We found the best way to win."

"We'll find a way to win."

At the post-match press conference, Tang Tian and Brown were completely two tones, and these two tones also represented the current situation of the two teams.

Redick could still remove the starter, but Simmons is removed, and the 76ers will be reduced by at least a third.

Two days later, the fourth game between the two sides resumed in Philadelphia.

Coach Brown removed Redick and switched to Covington as a starter, the only adjustment he could make.

Not long after the game began, Covington had a good three-point attempt.

He's got a quick shot.

"Bang!"

However, the first trial shot missed.

Irving changed direction in the frontcourt and shook Simmons to score a layup to give the Nets the lead.

Back in the day, James was caught and found Covington.

Irving's defensive awareness is still an issue, and Covington has another good opportunity after receiving the ball.

This time he glanced at the frame before making a move.

"Bang!"

Or striking iron!

The scene was in an uproar.

After James came, Coach Brown put Covington on the bench, and there was no consistent playing time, and his outside touch was always without it, with great ups and downs.

You can't expect a role player like him to be like a superstar who hasn't played much in a season and now come up and let him play.

This has been proven in the last game, and he was forced to play on the court on 0-of-4 shooting from beyond the three-point line, and this game does not seem to be improving.

However, the 76ers were also forced, and Redick and Korver were targeted worse than Covington's iron.

Jokic picked up a defensive rebound, the Nets pushed back, and George staged a flying dunk on a fast break.

The Nets got off to another 4-0 run.

The 76ers pushed to the front court again, and the Nets directly defended the 2-3 joint defense.

Simmons didn't shoot from the outside, and Covington didn't shoot it, and the shrinking defense was like a mockery.

The interior was overcrowded, James was caught with the ball, and Embiid had no room to catch the ball.

In the end, Simmons tried to shoot one with the condition that he was empty.

"Bang!"

The ball was outrageously off, smashed directly to the edge and popped up, and was reached out by George to take it down.

The Nets pushed back to counterattack, and Irving's flying layup caused James' pull foul.

James looked angry after being whistled for a foul, and yelled at the sidelines, not scolding the referee or the audience, but really upset.

Irving hit both free throws to give the Nets a 6-0 lead.

In the frontcourt, James leaned back against the bag and pulled one in, Embiid grabbed the offensive rebound and scored Simmons, and Simmons shot from outside the three-point line.

"Bang!"

With a crisp muffled sound, Simmons was incarnated as a little blacksmith in Milan, and Covington had a chord.

Coach Brown only shook his head on the sidelines.

The 76ers' offense was completely paralyzed by the outside, and by halftime, they were already trailing the Nets by as many as 20 points.

In the third quarter, he came back to Brown's side to make adjustments, took Saric down, got on McConaughey, and played a big and four small lineup.

This lineup has received miraculous results, although McConaughey is poor defensively, but has a stable outside firepower and three-point shooting, coupled with a four-small lineup to help defend well, the 76ers played a wave of counterattack climax led by James and Embiid, and at one point narrowed the gap to about 10 points at the end of the third quarter.

But when they were out of the game, Anthony went on a rampage in the bench period, and even singled Gortat and Saric to succeed, staging an old-fashioned teaching series, and Yi Jianlian also risked Fultz and Saric on the defensive end to give the opponent a group of little stars.

Just over four minutes into the fourth quarter, the Nets had a surge and widened the margin to more than 20 points.

Redick and Korver were unavailable in the starting period, and after their loss of functionality, the 76ers lost two important rotations that could play, but the Nets had too many people to play this season.

Last season, he was still forced to go to Wade, and this season's bench Antoni and Yi Jianlian's interior combination can play as a starter in an ordinary team.

The main team of the 76ers sat off the court for nearly a whole quarter, looking at the widening point difference, and his expression was quite confused.

has the intention to kill the enemy, but has no power to return to the sky.

In the end, the Nets defeated the 76ers 116-92 on the road, changing the score to 3-1.

No one expected that after four games, James' goal would become the only game the 76ers won.

"That's the difference in quality, when the Nets play on the 76ers' weaknesses, they look powerless, the 76ers make a big deal next season, and it's time for Simmons to think about what he should do this summer." Barkley spoke bluntly on TNT after commenting on the two games in a row.
