The Godfather of Basketball

The Nets are completely targeting him.

Redick and Saric on the weak side had no chance to run. He held the ball at the top of the circle for a while, and chose a frontal breakthrough with the ball.

When George saw it, he leaned close to him immediately.

Simmons was caught before he got up to speed. He forced two steps forward and had no room to shoot. He was directly forced to a dead ball. Fortunately, he had a good vision. After stopping the ball, he threw the ball to Saric on the right without passing the ball. kill.

But in this way, the 76ers didn't play tactics in this offense.

Saric dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line to reorganize. After seeing Simmons and Redick still being stuck, he directly signaled Embiid to drop low.

Embiid stuck in position this time, reached out and got the ball.

But as soon as he hit his back, George released Simmons and double-teamed him directly.

Embiid returned the ball to Simmons, who was emptied beyond the three-point line.

With little time left in the attack, Simmons was forced to take a three-pointer.

"boom!"

The ball was shot obviously crooked, and after hitting the edge, it popped up high. Jokic turned around and easily received the defensive rebound.

The fans at the scene couldn't help booing, Simmons was struggling a bit.

The Nets played in the frontcourt. After George missed the ball and met Redick, he turned around and made a fallback jumper.

The Nets striker is really all-around offensive and defensive.

Simmons dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and George still defended in the same way.

He had no advantage in trying to hit George, and reached out to signal Covington to come over for the pick-and-roll, preparing to hit Irving in a misplaced position.

But they had been prepared for a long time, and they changed players twice. Irving changed to Redick, but they just couldn't make it through.

The 76ers' tactics ran for a long time and still had no chance.

Halfway through the offensive time, Simmons also realized that it was too difficult to launch an offense from him. After giving the ball to Saric, it fell outside the three-point line on the right.

The ball was in Embiid's hands again, and Embiid turned around and hit Jokic with his back. As soon as he turned around, George's defense came again.

Because Simmons has no outside shooting ability, George's double-teaming is unscrupulous.

Embiid wanted to pass, but the intention was too obvious. As soon as the ball was shot, it was cut off by George with a "snap".

The Nets played a fast break, and Irving caught the ball in the frontcourt and made a fast break layup, causing Redick to pull people and stand on the free throw line.

Made two free throws.

The Nets started 6-0.

There were whistles and cheers, and fans who supported Mitchell shook their logos back and forth.

A KT board with Simmons' "failing" expression is particularly eye-catching.

New York fans are never polite.

Embiid's breakthrough from the high post finally won a foul and got to the free throw line.

At this time, the scene shot was shown to Simmons on the outside line. Simmons leaned over with his hands on his knees and shook his head helplessly.

Can't get in, can't score the ball, can't make a shot, and can't create space. His role on the field from the beginning to the present is almost zero.

This shot appeared on the big IED screen at the scene, and the fans booed even louder.

Mitchell hasn't played yet, and he doesn't know what he will do, but Simmons has played like shit in this game.

Embiid made two free throws and finally broke the deadlock for the 76ers, but there are really not many such scoring opportunities.

The opening period also became the epitome of the first quarter of the two teams.

Simmons stands on the outside, and the Nets' defense is five defenses and four defenses, but as soon as he holds the ball in, the Nets can force him to pass the ball as soon as they shrink. Soon, the fast break pass that he is best at has no room to play.

In the final analysis, he is still weak. If James is really young, no one can completely limit him without shooting one-on-one.

More than 9 minutes into the first quarter, the score on the court was 21 to 11, and the Nets took a double-digit lead.

The 76ers can't open the offensive end at all, even more constipated than the Bucks.

Simmons has made 0 of 2 shots since the beginning of the game. In all statistics, there are only 2 backcourt rebounds, and his performance is terrible.

At this time, both sides entered the rotation one after another. The 76ers replaced Simmons, Embiid and Redick, and replaced them with TJ McConaughey, Belinelli and Ilyasova.

For the Nets, Tang Tian left Yi Jianlian on the court, and Rondo, Mitchell, Tucker and Oden replaced him.

McConaughey's organization in the frontcourt, Saric cut and scored a goal.

Compared with Simmons, McConaughey has outside shooting ability, and the offense of the 76ers is obviously much smoother.

Rondo took the ball to the frontcourt, gave the ball to Mitchell, and then signaled to open the space.

It was Covington who marked Mitchell, but after the Nets blocked twice, Mitchell faced Ilyasova.

This is the biggest difference between the two teams.

Simmons wanted to play Irving before, but he couldn't change it, because the Nets' starting defense was very strong except for Irving, so it was relatively easy to protect Irving, but now it's just the other way around, except for Covington, who will Mitchell play against? All advantages.

The space was opened, and Mitchell suddenly accelerated after changing directions continuously.

Ilyasova's speed is good, but he is still a little bit reluctant with Mitchell.

Mitchell rushed to the free throw line and made an emergency stop, and Ilyasova was half a beat behind the ball.

"Shua!"

Mitchell's mid-range hit.

There were bursts of cheers.

This straightforward goal is in sharp contrast to the previous scene where Simmons either made a shot or didn't make a shot.

The 76ers sent another second pass from Saric in the frontcourt, but Belinelli failed to make the ball from the outside line, and Oden received the rebound.

Rondo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, stretched out his hand to make tactical gestures, and Mitchell and Yi Jianlian made an empty cut.

Belinelli's defensive pace was a little slow and was blocked by Oden. Mitchell came out to take the opportunity, and Rondo gave the ball immediately.

Mitchell received the ball and made a fake three-pointer to sway Saric, who was defending, and then took the ball and rushed to the basket.

Ilyasova didn't have time to return to the defense, so he could only watch Mitchell rush to the basket and leap up.

"Boom!"

Mitchell seized the opportunity, jumped up and scored a slam dunk with both hands. He even swung around the basket, showing off his physical fitness.

The whistle on the scene suddenly exploded.

Mitchell was also very excited after dunking, ran to the bottom line and roared at the audience, which completely aroused the fans' emotions.

The 76ers organized the frontcourt, and McConaughey assisted Ilyasova to score a layup.

Looking back, after Mitchell was double-teamed, he scored the ball to the basket and Oden dunked one.

The two teams failed to score in several offenses after that, and the score in the first quarter was fixed at 27 to 15.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the quarter, the live camera showed Simmons, and Simmons wrapped his head in a towel.

Compared with Mitchell's excellent performance and the relative smoothness of the 76ers' offense in this period, it is not only a problem with Simmons' performance, but it seems that he is completely negative on the court.

After being patted by Embiid on the shoulder and stood up, he was still in a low mood. He looked up at the score, smashed his mouth and shook his head. This is really hard to say.
