On the other side, Philadelphia 76ers did not choose to call Timeout, but continued to attack.
Embiid came out from the low post, went to the wing to receive the pass from Simmons, then Face-Up Triple Threat, then dropped the ball, broke through after an in and out, broke into Interior, and was about to fly and dunk against McGee.
Beng!!!
Basketball was slapped in the air.
Westbrook, who was assisting on defense from the side, jumped up quickly and caught up with Embiid with exaggerated bullet speed. Then he dribbled the ball with his hands and slapped it away.
Westbrook, who is a little emotional, has a good defensive focus. As we all know, Westbrook is not good at defending without the ball, but Help defense is still good when he applies Help defense to the ball holder.
Beep!!!
The whistle of Referee sounded, Embiid stood on Free-Throw Line.
Big Butt made two steady free throws, stabilizing the situation for the team.
The next Possession, Thunder still choose to serve Pick-and-Roll from the outside.
Westbrook borrows the cover from Grant, moves to the left, and then passes the ball to Grant.
Chen Xi on the other side ran to Baseline, then found Off-ball Screen of McGee, then went around from Baseline, then lifted up and ran past Grant. After Hand-off caught the ball, he moved Three-Point Shot.
Huh~~
Come on!
"Chris·Chen!! He made all five shots in the opening game and his personal score has reached 12 points!"
"Terrible offensive firepower! Who can stop him!"
This time Brett Brown couldn't stand anymore, raised his hand to signal Referee, and called out Timeout.
Who can withstand this? In the first five minutes of the game, he scored 12 points in a row with a 100% shooting rate.
I originally thought that with Embiid around, the team's scoring efficiency would be stable, and they just had to wait patiently for Chen Xi Touch to decline.
But looking at it now, before his Touch slides down, the score will be opened first.
This summer, Philadelphia 76ers also participated in the competition to recruit George and Anthony, but unfortunately, both failed. (Melo wanted to go to Lakers, and Nets gave George more money and promised team status and determination to recruit in the future.)
In this case, the overall strength of the team has not improved, and they have given away a qualified 3d Wing like Covington, which makes Brown itself very painful, plus Bench lineup who has no depth.
Starting Lineup If you can't win points, it will be very difficult to chase after you later.
After repeatedly emphasizing to Teammatess Chen Xi and Off-Ball's Chase Defense strength, Brown watched the Starting Lineup lineup come back on stage.
He didn't know if Chen Xi's explosion Touch tonight was related to the comments going viral on the Internet and Embiid's interview, but he had no choice. Regardless of whether it was, he had to face this Touch fiery super shooting guard.
Frankly speaking, although he kept emphasizing defense to his players, he actually didn't feel that he could defend Chen Xi in this way.
But there is no other way. As a Head Coach, even if there is no other way, you must show your determination.
Otherwise, how can I be a coach?
Now I can only pray that this time Timeout can make Chen Xi and Touch slide down.
The game starts again.
Philadelphia 76ers attack.
Simmons organized Top of the Key, and Redick used the cover to pick up Hand-off. After Shot Fake avoided the interference of Chen Xi, it passed back to Simmons on the other side.
Simmons caught the ball and broke through quickly. After rushing into Interior, he passed the ball without looking at anyone.
Chandler and Backdoor Cut on the other side received the ball and attacked the frame. Taking advantage of Simmons's gap to attract the defense, Layup finished.
I have to say that Simmons's organizational level is still very good. Interior's hand skills in passing and passing are also very good, and the creativity of passing is not low.
On the Thunder side, they continue to promote conversion.
After quickly dribbling the ball to Frontcourt, Westbrook then looks for Pick-and-Roll from Chen Xi.
One trick can be eaten all over the world.
Using the cover of Chen Xi to break through quickly, Westbrook noticed that the defensive center of gravity was attracted by Chen Xi and quickly stopped to shoot Mid-range's jump shot.
Basketball Swished Through the Net.
16 to 9.
The dual-core configuration has no greater advantage than this.
If there are enough players with the ability to handle the ball, the team's offense will be smoother.
This is also the strong point of the future Celtics team. The five members of Starting Lineup are all online and can handle the ball easily.
In fact, this is also due to the progress of the modern Basketball system.
As the Era Development training system matures, the level of role players is actually constantly improving.
More and more players are starting to become more comprehensive and more stable.
Players like Roberson, Tony Allen, or Korver, players with relatively single attributes will only become fewer and fewer in the future.
Maybe if you want to become the top star, you need enough talent support.
But becoming a qualified role player is much simpler.
Of course, no matter how simple it is, it is still relative. After all, they are NBA-level players.
After all, the NBA is still the top Basketball league in the world. The threshold here has always been very high.
If you don't have a League First Person father, then you must become Jordan in your own story~~
All rough guys and iron kings are at the level of the NBA.
Even if most players are stuck here without a ball and forced to leave the NBA, they can still easily survive in most other leagues.
Facts have proved that calling Timeout for Philadelphia 76ers was in vain.
Thunder's offensive firepower not only did not decrease, it even increased slightly.
Based on Philadelphia 76ers's insanely intense defense for Chen Xi, it actually liberated another All-Star in the team.
Westbrook said, my buddy is not old yet!!!
How long has it been since my brother enjoyed such loose defensive treatment?
Although starting from the 2017 season, due to the upgrade of the core configuration of the team, Westbrook has also given up a lot of ball rights, which has caused a considerable decline in scoring data, but he is the MVP after all, Scoring Champion! He is one of the most explosive scoring players in this League pg position.
Butler sacrificed his data for the team, doesn't he have it?
He hasn't had any surgery in 17 years, and his external line Touch is still there!
It's time for Philadelphia 76ers to recall the scoring ability of Regular season, the most valuable player in the 2016 season! (Getting fired up! Go downstairs and do a set of masseter muscle training!)
Westbrook, in the middle of the first quarter, took over the task of being a blaster, making sudden shots and beating Simmons, Redick, and the substitute Shamet in single combat.
After Chen Xi's short burst, Westbrook added firepower to the team.
As for Philadelphia 76ers, there is no way to restrict it.
Their outside leader only has one Simmons level online.
