Simmons and Embiid's performance today is simply one in the sky and one in the ground. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test

Simmons has excellent defense and smart offensive choices.

Where is Embiid? He has been caught by the Grizzlies for his own initiative twice in a row.

As one of the protagonists of this game, Embiid did not play the expected performance.

This made him look more like a soft egg who only knows how to type on the keyboard online without real material.

Of course, just one offense and one defense will not make Philadelphia fans lose confidence in Embiid.

The Grizzlies are only one point ahead, which is not even a substantial advantage.

When the 76ers attacked again, Embiid became much more honest.

This time he was just standing at the top of the three-point line to prepare for the response, and he had no intention of scrambling at the low position.

Seeing Embiid being crucified outside the three-point line, Link breathed a sigh of relief.

Embiid's average score drop this season has a lot to do with the 76ers' strategy this season.

Embiid is a player who likes to end offense at low posts, but because the 76ers have an outside line that can't shoot three-pointers at all, coupled with the joining of Al Horford, the 76ers' offensive space is compressed to an extremely narrow!

Among the five starters, three need to end the attack near the basket.

Looking at this weird configuration, there is only one in the entire league. Even the New York Knicks, which are crazy about hoarding power forwards, are not as narrow as the 76ers.

Of course, Embiid and Horford are indeed able to shoot three-pointers, and they can also end the offense far away from the basket.

But the three-point skill is just the icing on the cake for Embiid and Horford, and is not their main scoring method.

These two people still have to be at a low position to exert their maximum power.

But now, they have to treat their side jobs as their main jobs, and it would be strange if they can fight comfortably.

You can say that Embiid has made no progress this year, but he will never regress.

The average score per game has dropped so much, to put it bluntly, it is the fault of configuration and tactics.

Embiid is outside the three-point line, so he cannot exert his greatest power.

In this way, the Grizzlies' defense is at least half easier.

Although the verbal battle between Link and Embiid was very fierce a few days ago, from the bottom of his heart, Link recognized Embiid's strength.

That guy's back-to-body technology is like a living fossil in this era.

If Embiid is really determined to be hard at the low post and the 76ers also equip him with corresponding teammates, then this game is really difficult to play.

But now Link doesn't have to worry, Embiid has become a high-end anti-aircraft turret.

Even if he sits in a low position, with his current state of fever, he will not be able to perform too efficiently.

This time, Simmons still chose to break through and pass the ball, and the target was Harris.

Harris' second scoring point per game in Philadelphia this season.

At the same time, it is also the most important ball holding point outside Simmons.

After Harris got the ball, he flew away and tried to interfere with the shooting.

Brooks originally wanted to use his enthusiasm to make up for the gap in height and wingspan, but he didn't know that this was taken advantage of by Harris.

Harris was not polite and made a breakthrough immediately after a fake shot.

But this time, he found that Link was rushing towards him and preparing to assist in defense!

Seeing this, Harris had to pass the ball to Simmons, who was temporarily released during the process.

But Simmons was also standing at the basket, and Link just turned around and returned to Simmons.

Offensive space, this is the biggest weakness of the Philadelphia 76ers!

After receiving the basketball, Simmons made a layup on the spot, but was violently slapped into the audience by Link who turned around.

The audience exclaimed, and Allen Iverson stood up with his hands covering his head.

Simmons, who was 2.08 meters tall, was actually blocked by Link volleyball at the basket!

This kind of visual shock can only be experienced by personal experience.

"Oh my God, the basketballs flew to the second row of the stands! Link seemed to know Harris would pass the ball, turned around and jumped and completed the blocking."

As for the same thing, it is too simple for Link to predict the next move of a player who has no shooting ability.

The reason why Link dared to make up for Harris without scrupulously just now was because Simmons had no range.

If he retreats outside the three-point line, there is no threat even if he receives the ball.

If he doesn't retreat outside the three-point line and shoots directly near the basket, Link will be able to defend himself soon.

Third-year Simmons still failed to break through the 17-point average this season, and his career highest score was only 34 points, for a reason.

Simmons has hit a three-pointer so far in his career. It's really hard to imagine that he is an outside player from the 10s.

Simmons glanced at the sidelines in embarrassment, but fortunately Jenna was still applauding him...

It's great to dunk in front of your girlfriend, and it's even more sour to be overwhelmed in front of your girlfriend.

The 76ers' momentum took a sharp turn. This time, Simmons passed the ball to Richardson.

Facing Conley's defense, Richardson made a three-pointer with a jump shot.

Although Conley did not interfere with Richardson's shooting, Richardson's three-pointer still failed to hit.

After Josh Richardson came to the 76ers this season, his three-point shooting percentage dropped wildly, down from 37.5% last season to 32.7%.

With a 33% three-point shooting percentage as the passing line, Richardson's three-point distance passing standard is a bit worse.

The reason why Richardson's three-point shooting percentage was so high when he was with the Grizzlies was that most of his three-point shooting were shots from large open positions.

Those difficult balls were contracted by Link, and it was not Richardson's turn at all.

But this season is different. The core of the Sixers is a person who can't shoot. This summer they also lost sharpshooter j.j. Redick.

Therefore, most of the three-pointers were on players such as Richardson.

In this way, Richardson won no longer have the kind of big open space opportunities.

Many times, he has to shoot without completely getting rid of the defense, just like he did.

After Richardson made a three-pointer, Ben Simmons still wanted to grab this offensive rebound. In the past, he was able to win such long rebounds with an advantage in height.

But this time, Link took the lead in rebounding.

Simmons' advantage is completely unavailable to Link.

Because Link can do what Simmons can do, and Simmons may not be able to keep up with what Link can do.

Simmons's omnipotence began to develop towards the "all-can't" trend in front of Link.

After getting the basketball, Link quickly advanced and fought back. Simmons fought back while chasing him wildly.

Link was very fast, and it was really hard for Simmons to catch up, so he had to run with all his might.

The biggest disadvantage of running with all your might is that it is difficult to brake in time.

Just look at how long the buffer zone is after the end of the 100-meter FIFA race, and you will know how great the inertia a athlete will have when running with all his might.

Link knew this well, so when he was about to step on the three-point line, Link suddenly pulled back and retreated to a step outside the three-point line!

Simmons couldn't stop the car and rushed out, and was instantly thrown away. He was able to try hard to maintain the center of gravity without being shaken down by Link, which was already quite powerful.

Simmons didn't think about it and quickly turned around and rushed to interfere with the shooting.

Link's infinite range is no joke.

But after Simmons jumped, Link fell again and broke through with the ball!

Just now, Link just made a fake action to worship Buddha.

Embiid swallowed. The reason why he was so confident in this game was that in addition to feeling that he could beat Gasol, he also thought that Simmons could limit Link.

But the fact is that Simmons was so tricked by Link that he couldn't find North!

This defensive champion who has made most players in the league frightened, has a very good chance of being selected for the best defensive team this season. At this time, he can only watch Link pass by him.

"Damn it, don't think it's stable!" Embiid then increased his horsepower and wanted to chase Mao Link from behind!

Link broke through to the basket and raised the basketball. At the same time, Embiid rushed forward without reservation and covered the entire penalty area.

However, Link seemed to have eyes on his head. Just like just now, he raised the basketball and did not jump. After standing and waiting for Embiid to fly past him, he came to the dry land and jumped heavily and dunked on the spot!

A perfect time difference, Link lets Embiid pass by him.

The jumping and dunking on the spot may not be as elegant and elegant as the gliding dunk, but it is the strongest dunk.

The basket was squeaking by Link, while Embiid was like a diving player with zero points. After rushing out, he exploded in the audience.

First it was Simmons, then Embiid, and Link played tricks on the two core members of the 76ers in a row.

At this time, the cheers in the Vachovia Center arena have begun to fall.

Link touched his wrist guards, and he knew that his daughter and wife were looking at him now.

So, whether it is the "Emperor" or the "Western Emperor", today I can only be my younger brother here!

"Be careful Joel, and fly next time you'll see it."

After Link blew a sarcastic remark to Embiid in the crowd, he quickly retreated.

This dunk is just a signal, which means that Link is about to start shooting and he is about to start scoring.

"Fuck, I'll kill you!" Embiid stood up in anger, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

This sane beast is about to rush around the court.
