Chapter 46: Embiid's Joint Reaction After Injury (Part I)
Sam. Kimchi vs. Brett. While discussing the Embiid trade, Brown
A trade for Embiid is also being discussed at the Jazz headquarters.
Kevin O'Connor said to Jazz head coach Quinn Snyder: "You saw in today's game, Embiid had 18 points and 10 rebounds in just 23 minutes on the court. He has a strong dominance on the inside, whether it is an inside attack, "dream foot", a mid-range jumper from a look around, or a three-point shot from the outside, Embiid can easily and freely play and play with opponents. In addition to his excellent offense, he is also excellent defensively, averaging 2.1 blocks per game. He's the kind of player we want. What do you think, Quinn? ”
Quinn Snyder said helplessly, "I know Embiid is a center with a lot of potential, but his injury is a hidden danger!" You saw it all in today's game, as soon as he fell, the 76ers were worried to death. I'm afraid Embiid will be the second Oden! ”
Kevin O'Connor said, "I understand, but if it's not. The 76ers are afraid that they will not easily put Embiid on the shelf! Hayward insisted on a move next season, when the Jazz lacked a key player. Gobert is good, but he can't afford a team. Embiid will be the cornerstone of our Jazz rebuild. It's a gamble to see who wins, us or the 76ers! ”
Quinn Snyder heard it and thought about it, and could only say helplessly, "There is still a period of time before the transfer deadline, let's observe it first, if Embiid is not injured, I agree to this deal!" ”
Kevin O'Connor nodded and said, "OK, okay, I'll keep an eye on Embiid!" ”
……
The other day, head coach Brett . Brown took the initiative to inform himself that the team might trade Embiid out and trade Gobert.
But I didn't think that today, the head coach told himself that Embiid had a knee injury and might have to recuperate for a while, and the trade would be postponed.
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Zifeng couldn't help but sigh, the world makes people.
Forget it, the coach and general manager of the team will deal with the transaction, and what they have to do is to train seriously and play seriously.
On January 06, back-to-back, the 76ers were going to Boston to challenge the Celtics.
Early in the morning, the whole team rushed to the flying field to take a special plane to Boston.
A third of the way through the season, it's now clear that the playoff teams and non-playoff teams are getting clearer, and it's just the final standings!
The Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers in the West, the Brooklyn Nets and Orlando Magic in the East are afraid of giving up early, and they are going to be signed for next year's draft.
The Warriors and Spurs in the West are far ahead of the rest of the team, and the final top spot in the West will be born from these two teams.
In the East, the performance of the Philadelphia 76ers stunned the eyes of a number of expert media.
Just one season apart, the Philadelphia 76ers have firmly dominated the top spot in the East from eighth place last season with 27 wins and 9 losses.
Among them, Zhang Zifeng is the number one contributor to the outstanding record of the 76ers this season.
As the current top scorer in the 76ers, Zhang Zifeng is also a strong contender for the league's MVP this season.
Behind the 76ers is the 23-14 Boston Celtics.
Although, the Boston Celtics are as many as four wins separating the top-ranked Philadelphia 76ers.
However, this is due to the fact that most of the opponents of the Philadelphia 76ers in the first half of the season are not strong, which is the result of such a huge disparity.
In the second half of the season, the Philadelphia 76ers will face a lot of strong teams, and the Boston Celtics still have hope of catching up with the Philadelphia 76ers.
The Boston Celtics could close that distance today, as they face the Philadelphia 76ers on their home court.
Isaiah Thomas has been in excellent form this season, averaging 28.9 points and 5.9 assists per game so far this season, and is known as the strongest 175 on the surface.
Thanks to Isaiah Thomas's outstanding performance, the Boston Celtics have also had an excellent season this season.
With Isaiah Thomas and Bradley on the outside and Horford on the inside, the Boston Celtics are very strong.
And Embiid, the 76ers' previously outstanding center, will be sidelined with an injury, which is one of the reasons why many people think that the Celtics will cause a lot of trouble for the Philadelphia 76ers in this game.
At the same time, the "devil" living under the floor of the TD Garden Arena, the home of the Celtics, is also a reason for the opponent to fear.
The Celtics are a tough bone to gnaw, not to mention that the Philadelphia 76ers are still back-to-back in this game, and their physical fitness will be a great test for the 76ers players.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the TD Garden Arena was overcrowded and the attendance was overwhelming.
Amid the cheers of the home fans, the Celtic showed their determination to win at home from the start, playing aggressively.
Even if Zhang Zifeng felt hot in the first quarter and hit 4 three-pointers, he couldn't pull away the score.
After the two teams tied several times, 9-all, 12-all, and 15-all, Jerebko and Bradley each hit three-pointers to lead an 8-2 spurt as the Celtics ended the first quarter with a six-point lead at 27-21.
Shortly after the start of the second quarter, Grant hit a three-pointer and Smart hit a jumper.
Rondo assisted on Noll for an empty dunk and Iasova hit another three-pointer to tie the score at 29.
Both teams scored a few points each, Zhang Zifeng scored seven points on offensive and free throws, but then Thomas and Smart responded with five points, and the Celtics led by one point at 51-50 at halftime.
Changing again, the "devil" under the floor of the TD Garden Arena began to wield its might.
Zhang Zifeng's hand suddenly lost, and he struck iron one after another.
The Celtics took the opportunity to launch a 10-2 attack wave to pull the score away in one fell swoop. At the end of the third quarter, 71-82, the Celtics led by 11 points.
In the fourth quarter, Zhang Zifeng reacted, reduced his shots, and increased his impact on the basket.
But at this time, the Celtics stepped up their interior defense.
Zhang Zifeng's offense suffered a setback, and back-to-back games caused a number of players on the 76ers to have physical problems in the fourth quarter.
The outside line can't be opened, and the inside line can't be attacked.
In the end, the Celtics defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 110-91 at home.
For the Celtics, Bradley had 26 points and nine rebounds, Thomas had 24 points and seven assists, Horford had 19 points, 12 rebounds, four assists and two blocks, and Smart had 14 points and eight assists.
For the 76ers, Zhang Zifeng had 27 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, Grant had 17 points and four rebounds, Noll had 13 points and eight rebounds, and Rondo had nine points, 14 assists and five rebounds.
Since the beginning of this season, the Philadelphia 76ers, who have been in the limelight, lost to the Celtics by a big score on this day, especially in the absence of Embiid.
It immediately aroused the discussion of countless expert media.
