Chapter 271: The 76ers of Philadelphia

Before the game began, the 76ers locker room, next to the locker room, Ben Simmons and Josh Jackson were changing into game jerseys together. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, Josh, is Ye Hai really as good as rumored? He's just a Chinese player. Simmons asked.

"When you meet him on the pitch, you'll understand that he's a player who does wonders all the time on the pitch!" Jackson put on his bracer with a blank face and replied solemnly.

"Hey, even so, he's definitely not going to be Ben's opponent in a 1v1 situation, in the East, no, in the entire league, only James is Ben's only opponent at the small forward position." Hearing the conversation between the two, Noren Snoll, one of the 76ers' interior triumvirate, with a Akagi Goken hairstyle, said.

"Don't underestimate this rookie, he was the best rookie in the East last month!" Jahir Okafor, one of the other big three inside who is also changing jerseys, said.

Hearing Okafor's words, a gloomy expression suddenly appeared on Ben Simmons' face, "This game, I will prove to everyone how stupid they are to only rank me in the second place in the rookie East!" (Since Ben Simmons was injured last season before the game started, he is still a rookie when he returned to play this season, which is the same as Blake Griffin of the Clippers that year.)

Before the game began, 76ers coach Brett Brown walked into the locker room, clapped his hands, and began to mobilize: "I believe that there are people on the team who have been looking forward to this game for a long time, but I hope everyone can focus on the team and avoid falling into individual matchups." Celtic are a good team, but it's just a stumbling block in our way, do you have the confidence to beat them! ”

"There is !!" A fierce roar erupted in the 76ers' locker room!

After finally ushering in Simmons' return from injury, plus the selection of this year's top pick - Josh Jackson, the No. 1 high school student in the United States, plus the inside triumvirate Embiid, Okafor, and Noel, the 76 team held its breath and wanted to impress the outside world!

So far, they have done just that, and so far they have won about the same number of games as last year, and seven more than last year! It is currently ranked eighth in the East with a win rate of just over 50%! Linked to their starting lineup this season, with two players from injuries, as well as one rookie and one new signing, it's great for a team that is still in the run-in period to achieve such results!

In this game, 76ers coach Brown lineup is:

Center: Joel Embiid, 2.13m;

Power forward: Noren Snoel, 2.11m;

Small forward: Ben Simmons, 2.08m;

Shooting guard: Josh Jackson, 2.03m;

Defender: Sergio Rodriguez, 1.91m.

The Celtics reverted back to their regular starting lineup, with Amir Johnson back in the starting lineup.

Before the start of the game, Ben Simmons stood beside Ye Hai and looked at the Chinese young man who was half a head shorter than himself, showing a contemptuous and disdainful expression. Contrary to Simmons, Josh Jackson didn't pay special attention to Brandon Rush, who was opposite him, but focused all his attention on Yahai, who was opposite Simmons!

"After half a year, we finally met again!" Jackson silently thought to himself, "This time, I must wash away the shame of losing to you at the World Junior Championships!" ”

The two sides fight for the ball, and the game officially begins!

Compared with the 76ers' twin towers with a height of more than 2.10 meters, Al Horford, who is only 2.08 meters tall, and Amir Johnson, who is only 2.06 meters tall, are obviously at a loss in terms of size, and the other two are young players, so there is an obvious disadvantage in the competition for the highest point!

Embiid dialed the ball before Horford, and Knoll quickly grabbed the ball in his arms before Johnson could make a move!

Knoll didn't put the ball in the hands of Rodriguez, but directly into the hands of Ben Simmons at the small forward position!

Simmons slowly dribbled to the front court in front of Ye Hai and began to organize the team's offense!

Facing Simmons standing in the position of the organizational guard, Ye Hai is still a little uncomfortable, because this defensive position is too far away, and the team's organizational guard usually stands here when defending, and this is the first time that Ye Hai has stood on the outside to defend at the beginning!

Since it is already such a defense, Ye Hai can only open his arms as much as possible to interfere in front of Simmons, but Simmons is 7cm taller than Ye Hai, ensuring that his vision is good, in this case, Simmons of the 76 team sent wonderful passes in 3 consecutive attacks, scoring by Embiid, Noll and Jackson respectively!

Stevens looked at the opening tactics of the 76ers and couldn't help but be a little worried, Embiid and Knoll's height occupy an absolute advantage on the inside, Jackson's opposite Rush is not good at defense, and Ye Hai and Paul, who have the best defense in the starting lineup, one is facing Simmons, who is mainly organized in the opening stage, and the other is facing Rodriguez, a point guard who does not need to hold the ball, are all powerful, and the team's defense may suffer if it continues!

At this time, Simmons broke through again, and under Ye Hai's close defense, he once again relied on the height of Ma Da's vision advantage to send a wonderful pass, Jackson immediately broke through the defense of his Rush after receiving the pass, at this time Paul finally couldn't help it, and immediately made up for the past to prepare for a steal, but Jackson, who was quick-eyed, took advantage of Paul's disposition, and immediately saw the ball and distributed it to Rodriguez who was standing on the outside! From beyond the three-point line, Rodriguez hit the first three-pointer for the 76ers!

The Celtics only scored 4 points in the opening stage by Paul, who is a playmaker, and Ye Hai's only shot was interfered with by Simmons and missed, and with the 76ers hitting a 3-point shot, the Celtics started the game 4-11 behind!

Ye Hai was ready to start attacking, facing Simmons in front of him, Ye Hai used a very fast first move to get rid of Simmons, but on the way to break through, he met Jackson who came to wrap up! This tactic is the same as the previous tactics of Wiggins and LaVine of the Timberwolves to defend Yahi!

"Humph!" Ye Hai snorted slightly in his heart, thinking, "Don't you know the truth that Shibei should be impressed for three days?!" ”

The reason why Wiggins and LaVine were able to defend successfully last time was completely due to the defect that Ye Hai would not be able to play with his back and was firmly grasped by the opponent, but now Ye Hai is completely different from the last time, under the guidance of the famous teacher Paul Pierce, the back-to-back singles skills have improved by leaps and bounds!

Ye Hai saw that the road to the frontal breakthrough was blocked by Jackson, and at this time he could choose to pass the ball to Rush on the bottom line, but Ye Hai did not intend to do so, a beautiful back turn, using the back after the stop, the side to Jackson who was in the bag, and at the same time the back back, resisted Simmons twice, turned around directly, wiped to the basket, a wonderful two-handed back buckle, and won the first goal of his sports battle!

"Ye Hai has improved again!" Seeing that Ye Hai still sent the ball into the basket very smoothly under the defense of himself and Simmons, Jackson felt a little uncomfortable! In high school, he enjoyed the feeling of being like an emperor, and for the first time, he felt that he would look up at a player of his age! (To be continued.) )
