For what reason, he didn't know, and probably no one except Simmons himself would know.

But at least judging from the current situation, the 76ers can no longer continue to play like this.

He turned around and waved his hand, and Belinelli was called up from the bench.

The short whistle sounded and Belinelli came on to replace Saric.

That's right, it's power forward Saric. Of course, he doesn't ask Belinelli to play the fourth position. Instead, he moves Simmons to the fourth position just like when he played the Bucks before, so that there are three shooters on the outside.

Bede's space inside will be much better than the previous lineup.

This is indeed the case. After this wave of adjustments, Embiid no longer encountered a double attack when receiving the ball in the low post.

Simmons still has no shooting, but his basketball IQ is still very good. The previous cut is a demonstration. If Embiid passes the ball, Simmons will definitely be able to complete the finish.

Embiid finally got a chance to play Jokic alone.

After all, he is actually only a third-year student, and his reputation and strength are much weaker than Jokic's.

But the matchup is not entirely determined by this. Jokic's defense is not particularly outstanding, and Embiid's low post skills are good enough. This is destined to give Embiid an advantage in this matchup.

Embiid also showed off his most outstanding skill in this wave of offense: his feet.

Or to be more precise, step up and down.

Because he has the ability to hook and shoot from close range, opponents need to always be wary of this hand when guarding him.

And he is very flexible for a big man of that size. Coupled with his body, his style is very similar to Olajuwon.

Therefore, his up and down steps were very effective. Although Jokic was not stunned, he was unable to destroy Embiid's offense after being squeezed away.

"Bang!"

Embiid was obviously holding his breath at this moment. After squeezing through, he took a step forward and directly jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket!

After dunking, Embiid turned around and roared angrily at...well, Lin Ying, who happened to be walking to the baseline to serve.

Embiid was also stunned for a moment. He was originally going for Jokic, but who would have thought that Lin Ying suddenly barged in at this time.

He felt guilty for a moment, but he still suppressed his expression and turned around, raised his hand and gave Simmons a high-five who had just come over.

4 to 5.

Brown's adjustment had an immediate impact. Whether it was the score or the scene, the 76ers were already in a stalemate with the Nets.

At this time, the faces of the 76ers players also began to show confident looks.

The Nets are not as strong as they thought, and they are actually not as weak as they thought!

In a specific move, after Embiid retreated to half court, he unconsciously reached out and applauded to encourage his teammates.

Although the 76ers were a little passive at the beginning because of Simmons' "refuse to shoot" mode, the coach's adjustments allowed them to get rid of this passivity.

This lineup that previously defeated the Bucks also has a chance to help them defeat the Nets.

Lin Ying, holding the ball with one hand, directly launched the attack.

So fast.

This was Embiid's reaction when he turned his attention to Lin Ying.

Lin Ying's entire state was completely different from the previous rounds. It felt like he had suddenly entered another state.

Soon, Simmons was broken through by Lin Ying.

The speed of breaking through the defense was faster than anyone imagined, and it was much faster.

You must know that Simmons used to be able to steal the ball when defending against Bradley alone, but Lin Ying got through it so easily one-on-one!

He wanted to go up to help defend, but Lin Ying saw him, accelerated a second time and hit the ball hard into the basket before he could help defend.

He didn't even have time to reach out.

Because of the strength of the team, this season, or since Durant came, Lin Ying rarely enters the "Zone" mode to play.

But just now it was obvious that he went in again.

Embiid suddenly realized that he shouldn't have done that just now, or at least, he should have hesitated after realizing that he yelled at the wrong Lin Ying.

His desire to win, or overexcitement, has put the 76ers in danger now.

However, Embiid quickly adjusted his mood and moved forward.

Some things have to be faced after all. If they want to defeat the Nets, they can't get around Lin Ying.

Just assume that everything is ahead of schedule!

As long as they can withstand this pressure, they will be able to transform and grow from a young team into a real championship team!

Embiid's self-encouragement closed the loop perfectly, and when he reached the frontcourt, he continued to ask for the ball with his back to Jokic.

The success of the ball just now gave him confidence, he will score twice!

Redick's ball went in, and Embiid repeated his old tricks, except this time he stepped up and down toward the free throw line. After squeezing past Jokic again, he directly chose to shoot off the board.

His flexibility really doesn't match his size.

This is so crucial for big men.

Had it not been for injuries, he would have been the top pick.

Only this time his end was unexpected.

In other words, he underestimated Jokic's defensive ability.

Although Jokic is not a very strong defender, he can't resist him because of his good physical talent and quick reactions. This time, he took advantage of Embiid's shot and hit the ball directly from behind Embiid.

Hatred!

What I fear most is the sudden silence of the air.

Embiid had no time to react. By the time he did, Jokic had already taken away the defensive rebound.

Moreover, Jokic's fast break awareness is so good. The first moment he got the rebound, he raised it above his head, and then quickly threw the ball forward.

Unlike Lin Ying and James' kind of quarterback passing, his first pass always has a sense of ease.

But the quality of his first pass is definitely not lower than Lin Ying and James.

At this time, Bradley was at the front, followed closely by Lin Ying.

The Nets' fast break was too fast, and only Redick on the 76ers' side had time to keep up.

In a two-on-one situation in the frontcourt, Bradley advanced past half-court and gave the ball to Lin Ying.

Lin Ying resisted Redick's defense and reached the free throw line in the frontcourt, taking a look at Bradley on the weak side.

Redick was led by Lin Ying to turn his head automatically, but at the moment he turned back, he saw a black shadow suddenly jump out from in front of his eyes.

Lin Ying suddenly flew into the air, not even giving him a chance to dodge!

Lin Ying did it on purpose.

He came from time travel, so he naturally brings emotions from the previous world.

There are not many NBA players who can make him "hate" him to the extent, but Redick is one of them.

Although it can be regarded as an accident, being able to "blurt it out" is not something that you are used to.

So now that the opportunity is in front of him, of course he will not show mercy.

Redick couldn't hide in time and interfered, so he just passively followed Lin Ying back.

"Bang!"

Then, with all the spectators watching, Redick was dunked directly by Lin Ying with both hands!

And the huge impact directly caused Redick to fly out...

The unlucky ones are always the photographers under the basket, who had no time to dodge with their cameras, and then saw Redick flying towards him.

Fortunately, these photographers are also experienced in many battles and can dodge very quickly.

This time, Redick took pity on him. Not only was he knocked away, he didn't even have a buffer, and his back directly came into close contact with the basket frame.

The moment after the impact, his entire expression became ferocious, and then he lay on the ground motionless.

It was obvious that the injury was accidental.

Of course, most of the fans at the scene did not pay attention to this. The scene was already filled with overwhelming cheers from the fans.

It was not just Lin Ying who saw Embiid roaring, but also the fans!

That scene happened to be caught by the photographer and put on the big LED screen.

So Lin Ying's response was really explosive!

But the fans were having fun, and the referee's whistle sounded on the field.

It turned out that the game was about to continue. At this time, the referee noticed that Redick was lying on the ground and had not yet gotten up, and blew the whistle to pause the game.

The 76ers' team doctor hurriedly came on the court to communicate with Redick.

Lin Ying also didn't expect that the dunk he just made directly injured Redick?
