Chapter 43: Who is Embiid better for?

After landing on the ground, Embiid said proudly: "Jack, your pass is good, pass me more." I'll lead you to win this game! ”

Who are you, what are you?

Even if Zhang Zifeng is not there, there are still us. When is it your turn for the 76ers to talk!

Hearing Embiid say big things, the 76ers players, including Rondo, were a little dissatisfied.

Usually Embiid doesn't do this, but he was suppressed by Zhang Zifeng for too long, and he got carried away when he was proud.

Zhang Zifeng and the others are all a little dissatisfied, but the basic professional ethics are still there.

Since the head coach has decided to focus on Embiid, even if they are dissatisfied, they will follow the tactics according to the fire.

This time Embiid was full of energy, facing the Grizzlies in black and white.

With the cooperation of his teammates, Embiid played well and was not lacking in the court.

At halftime, the Grizzlies went into halftime with a 3-point lead at 47-44.

In the first 17 minutes of the first half, Embiid chipped in 19 points and five rebounds.

Because of him, the 76ers were able to bite the score. At least that's what Embiid thinks!

Gasol Jr. was no worse either, with 14 points and eight rebounds and four assists in the first half.

Sam Kimchi and Leon Rose, who were sitting in the VIP room, both smiled at Embiid's performance.

Embiid is doing well for their plan to succeed.

The first half was the stage for Embiid and Gasol Jr.,

Zhang Zifeng relied on 2 three-pointers to score 6 points, as well as 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

Such data is terrible for Zhang Zifeng.

Brett. Brown frowned when he saw Zhang Zifeng's data. Even if you want to pick up Embiid, you can't make Zhang Zifeng's data too ugly.

Otherwise, people who don't know think that the 76ers want to suppress Zhang Zifeng.

It would be a big deal to stir up the dissatisfaction of the fans.

Brett. Brown pondered how to change that.

After the third quarter of the game, the Grizzlies, who were playing at home, tried desperately to win the game.

They want to extend their lead and secure the win.

But the 76ers don't want to lose, especially Embiid, who doesn't want to lose the game when he is in charge.

Isn't this telling others that he Embiid simply doesn't have the strength to lead a team!

After the first half of the battle, he knew that it was not a good choice to beat Gasol Jr. with his current strength.

In order to win, Embiid also increased his interaction with his teammates at this time.

Zhang Zifeng and Grant each hit three-pointers, and they led the team to an 8-3 attack wave early in the third quarter to help the 76ers take a one-point lead.

Gasol Jr. and Randolph then combined for six points to help the Grizzlies regain the lead.

Embiid responded with a three-pointer, and Zhang Zifeng also hit a three-pointer.

With 2:25 left in the third quarter, the 76ers trailed by one point at 66-67.

After the two sides each played several offenses, the 76ers combined inside and outside, and the Grizzlies were inseparable.

With Embiid's layup in the final moments, the 76ers led by one point at 77-76 at the end of the third quarter.

During the break, Embiid sat in a chair and had just finished a sports energy drink.

But it wasn't enough, he was too thirsty.

Embiid asked the staff for another drink and gulped it down.

In the first three quarters, Embiid played 35 minutes, the longest playing time since joining the NBA.

Although he was physically tired, Embiid still didn't want to rest, he wanted to catch his breath and continue fighting.

Brett. Brown smiled at Embiid and said, "Joel, you're doing a great job. You are tired right now, and for the sake of your health, you need to rest. The rest of the game is up to your teammates! ”

Embiid was taken aback by putting me on the bench in the crucial fourth quarter.

Embiid hurriedly said, "Coach, I'm not tired, really." I can keep playing! ”

Brett. Brown patted Embiid on the shoulder and said, "No, no, no, I can't risk your health." Your task for today has been completed, sit back and rest in peace. Trust your teammates, they won't waste your efforts! ”

"No, Coach. I ...... "Embiid wants to stand up and ask to play."

But Brett. Brown put his hand on Embiid's shoulder to prevent him from getting up, still smiling and saying, "Joel, you still have a long career, don't take any chances." Trust your teammates! ”

"I ......"

"I'm the coach, didn't you hear. Sit down! "Brett. Brown shouted in some anger.

Seeing that the head coach was angry, Embiid didn't dare to speak again.

"Very good, rest in peace." Brett. Brown called out to Knoll.

In the fourth quarter, Embiid went down, and Knoll went on.

As soon as the game opened, Zhang Zifeng took the ball to the front court and made a blocking and dismantling cooperation with Noll.

Zhang Zifeng took advantage of the situation to enter the inside line.

The audience focused on Zhang Zifeng.

Facing Zhang Zifeng, who suddenly came in, Gasol Jr. posted on it.

Although the defense is still active, but after three quarters of fighting with Embiid, Gasol Jr. is not as physical as he was at the beginning.

Zhang Zifeng rested for nearly three quarters, waiting for work.

A change of direction connection accelerated, and Zhang Zifeng shook little Gasol. Hit the basket, a beautiful hand-changing lever, and hook the ball into the basket with the left hand.

Tony Allen defends well, but at the age of 35, his pace can no longer keep up with Zhang Zifeng's impact.

Under the leadership of Zhang Zifeng, the 76ers took turns to attack the Grizzlies' interior line.

The elderly grizzly bears, Gasol Jr. alone can't stop the firepower of the 76ers of the Youth Army.

When the full-court whistle blew, the Philadelphia 76ers won 99-91 over the Memphis Grizzlies.

Gasol Jr. of the Grizzlies had 26 points, 12 rebounds and four assists and three blocks. Randolph had 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Joel of the 76ers. Embiid played 33 minutes and scored 30 points, setting a new high for his playing time and scoring.

Compared with Embiid, Zhang Zifeng scored 22 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds today, and his performance was at best passing.

After the game, Embiid won countless Chen Zan, 30+10+5, a top center data, which made countless people's eyes shine.

……

Next, the 76ers followed the Pelicans, Pistons, Raptors, Lakers, and Nets.

Embiid continues to perform well, averaging 20+10+5 top centers per game.

But the only bad thing is that in these five games, Zhang Zifeng averaged 21.4 points, 6 assists, and 6 rebounds per game, which is completely incomparable with the beginning of the season, but it is also a passing grade.

The combination of Zhang Zifeng and Embiid helped the 76ers achieve a 3-2 record.

The 20-5 record beats the Cavaliers' 20-6 record and ranks first in the East, much to the delight of 76ers fans.

Recently, Embiid has performed well, getting the top center data, which has attracted countless media attention.

This made Sam Kimchi, the general manager of the 76ers, hesitate for a moment to consider whether to trade Embiid.

But it was only a moment of hesitation, and Sam Kimchi immediately strengthened his conviction.

Change!

Not to mention that Embiid did not recognize the reality and wanted to compete with Zhang Zifeng for power.

As for Embiid's greedy agent, the lion opened his mouth, and dared to open his mouth to ask for a four-year contract with a maximum salary of 112 million.

Who does Leon Rose think his player Embiid is?

After three seasons, he played less than 30 games before he dared to ask for the top salary.

You're a girl, don't say if you're worth the price.

Even if you're worth the price, Lao Tzu won't give it.

It's given to you, what will the 76ers do when Zhang Zifeng renews his contract?

Give a middle-class contract?

Nima's, as long as it is not the maximum salary when the contract is renewed, I am afraid that Zhang Zifeng will immediately turn around and transfer to other teams freely.

Not to mention that I will be made fun of by the whole league, and angry 76ers fans will dare to burn down my house.

Embiid is adamant about changing!

Just who is it better to exchange him for?
