Chapter 272: Taylor Zeller's Roar

With Yahi turning and successfully buckling both hands under the double bag of Ben Simmons and Josh Jackson, the Celtics rewrote the score to 6-11!

In the face of Ye Hai's offense, Ben Simmons found that the Chinese player in front of him was indeed as rumored, with top speed and explosiveness, but Ben Simmons is also worthy of being called the most comprehensive small forward after James in the American media, using his height of 2.08 meters and super long arm span, he also created a lot of trouble for Ye Hai's offense, and consumed a lot of energy!

At the end of the first quarter, the Celtics mainly relied on the outside offense of Yahai and Paul, while the 76ers relied on Simmons' combination of inside and outside the organization, and Joel Embiid on the inside and Josh Jackson on the outside became the main offensive points!

The 76ers' chaotic offense and defense in the past seemed to be offensive and defensive under the command of Ben Simmons on the court, and Embiid, who can be inside and out, is like a young version of the big Horford, which makes Horford also consume a lot of physical strength on the offensive and defensive ends. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

trailed by 4 points in the first quarter, but Celtics coach Stevens still replaced Horford with Kelly Olynyk to continue the offensive firepower on the court.

Crowder, who can defend the No. 2 to No. 4 position, did not disappoint the coach, and the first 1v1 defense caused Josh Jackson's mistake, Jackson's breakthrough dribble hit his own leg and bounced out of bounds under Crowder's defensive interference, exchanging the ball to the Celtics!

"Hey, Josh, you can be in charge of containment in this quarter, the offense is left to the inside, the Celtics are the third game in four days today, and their interior players are physically exhausted very quickly." During a break in the court, Ben Simmons came over to Josh Jackson and whispered.

Although Jackson's personality has always been self-serving, after playing with Simmons a few times, Jackson found himself gradually attracted to the opponent's ball skills, and if he was a pure scorer, then Ben Simmons was an all-round player.

In this league full of talents, even if he enters the league with the halo of the No. 1 high school student in the United States and the identity of the champion show, but just a 76ers' champion show can make up a starter, so Jackson still has great respect for Simmons, who is obviously one of the best in the team.

According to Simmons' command, Jackson reduced the number of shots and used his offense to contain Jack Crowder, the best defense of the Celtics, and then under Simmons' organization, the 76ers' three young potential interior lines used their physical and physical advantages to continuously impact the Celtics' interior.

Joel Embiid, Jahill Okafor, and Nolan Snorll take turns bombing!

By the end of the first half, Kyle Olynyk had already committed three fouls, and Horford was feeling physically exhausted!

4 days and 3 games, so that the captain of the Celtics also gasped for breath at halftime, after being entangled with Jackson, Crowder did not have extra energy to defend other players, Ye Hai under Simmons' defense every offensive score has to endure great attrition, Paul is the only player in the team who can fully exert his strength, but the crosshairs of shooting are certainly not comparable to the shots under the basket!

By the end of the first half, the Celtics were already 12 points behind, and the physical disadvantage began to show, especially for interior players who especially needed physical strength!

On the bench in the second half, Taylor Zeller couldn't help but clench his fists as he looked at Horford, Johnson and Yahi who were struggling on the inside. Although he started the last game, it was because of tactical needs, and the actual playing time was still ranked last in the team.

"Taylor, get ready, go up and replace Johnson." Stevens shouted into the corner of the bench.

Hearing his name in the nick of time early in the second half, Zeller thought he had misheard and looked at Stevens with a questioning expression.

Stevens felt no movement on the bench, looked back and saw Zeller's puzzled expression, and immediately shouted: "Don't be in a daze! Hurry up and get ready to play! ”

"It's... Yes! Zeller stood up excitedly, finally not because of tactical necessity or the time at the end of each quarter!

"Hey, Taylor, great, I need you!" Horford greeted Zeller, who had just come on the court, and muttered quietly.

Yahale is in favor of his strong scoring ability, and forced a step-back jumper to score under Ben Simmons' almost leaky defense! The 76ers are back immediately!

Embiid, who performed well in this game, stuck his position under the basket, and Horford no longer had the spare physical strength to compete for the position. After receiving the ball, Embiid hit his back twice, turned around under the basket and knocked Horford away, and was about to harden under the basket, when suddenly a hand reached over and slapped the ball that was about to be put into the basket in the air!

Embiid saw that it was Taylor Zeller, who had just played in this game! The 2.13-meter Zeller listened to Horford's tactics, and after Horford deliberately got out of the way, he immediately made up for the defense and sent a big hat!

"Well done!" Zeller's block, which followed the intended tactics exactly, earned Horford's praise.

The Celtics used the ball to win from this successful defense, and Branton Rush hit his first three-pointer of the game! In this way, Josh Jackson did not dare to make up for the defense and pack other players.

Turning around, Nolens Noll received a wonderful pass from Ben Simmons, and as his body activated, he slapped the ball to the ground with both hands and rushed towards Zeller.

"Don't underestimate me!" Zeller yelled and pressed the ball that Noll dunked towards the basket with one hand!

Noll looked at Zeller in surprise, as if the opponent was another person entirely!

With a "drink", Zeller actually stopped the dunk of Noll, who was jumping with all his might!

The blocked basketball fell in the air, and the energetic Zeller quickly bent down to pick up the ball and handed it to Paul, and immediately ran forward while the opponent was still in a state of surprise!

Paul didn't wait, immediately dribbled forward, and accurately passed the ball to Zeller, who was already running in the front, in the gap between the two players of the 76ers who retreated, Zeller roared, a rare one-handed dunk, although Ben Simmons behind him had already fouled his beater, but Zeller still dunked the ball into the basket!

The referee's whistle blew and it was a 2+1 goal! In the face of the boos of the 76ers fans at home, it was Zeller's long howl!

"I was wrong." Seeing Zeller's performance, Stevens made waves in his heart, since Olynyk is getting better and better, plus the already existing Horford and Johnson, Zeller's playing time has become less and less, but he has no complaints, and he does his best every moment on the court!

"Maybe it's because I don't have confidence in my coaching skills." Stevens remembered the Spurs' veteran coach Popovich, the kind of coach who can maximize the power of a player, and the 15 players on the team can all exert magical power in Popovich's hands under certain circumstances.

Seeing that there were still so many players sitting on the bench who did not play, but still showed fighting spirit and desire in their eyes, Stevens made up his mind in his heart, "I can do it like Popovich too!" ”

"Absolutely!" (To be continued.) )
