Originally, before Howard was sent off, the 76ers were still one point ahead, but when Howard left, he made a technical foul. Klay Thompson hit a technical foul free throw, and the Grizzlies tied the score 54-54!

If Howard's sixth crime made his teammates feel confident that they would be hit by a critical blow, then Howard's behavior of smashing the ball and tearing the jerseys was even contagious about his frustration.

There is no doubt that Howard is the key to the 76ers being able to overcome the Bulls. Last season, they lost to the Bulls' inside advantage. Without Howard, they would probably not have much power to fight back against the Heat, which is stronger on the outside. Howard is the strongest player of the 76ers, no doubt.

It would be fine if Howard was sent off. The furious, disrespectful to the team, disrespectful to the opponent, and disrespectful to the teammates' behavior of tearing the jerseys is a huge harm to the team.

Everyone in the 76ers are working hard and trying their best to earn back their face. The third quarter is almost over. They are not behind, but are still 1 point ahead, and they are fighting away. Even if Howard is in a foul crisis, this momentum can make other teams of the 76ers continue to maintain a fighting mentality, but Howard, the nominal team boss, is actually the strongest player in the team, making such a move. The other players of the 76ers are all blown up!

The 76ers replaced Howard with Hawyth, and Evans, Meeks, Iguodala, and Lavoy Allen continued to stay on the court. After Klay Thompson made a technical foul, he had lost his defensive belief.

After the game continued, with the restraint of Sun Ce and Randolph, Neal made three consecutive breakthroughs and throws, opening the curtain of the Grizzlies' counterattack!

In the last 5 minutes of the third quarter, the Grizzlies played a 13-5***. After the third quarter, the Grizzlies led the 76ers 67-59, setting an 8-point lead!

Frustration began to spread. Evans, who scored 26 points in the first three quarters, performed extremely poorly in the final quarter. He made 0 of 5 shots and scored two points with only free throws. The rest of the 76ers also played badly. The offense was locked by the defensive lineup sent by the Grizzlies in the fourth quarter. The defensive end lost its motivation and completely collapsed. The entire 76ers only scored 9 points in the final quarter.

The collapse of the 76ers' defensive end caused the Grizzlies' tank combinations such as Sun Ce, Tony Allen, Paul George, Bathir, and Gasol Jr. to score 23 points in a single quarter!

In this game, Sun Ce scored not many points, only scored 17 points, but his victory was stable.

And it is indeed stable. He scored 4 points in each of the first three quarters and 5 points in the fourth quarter.

The main reason is that the opponent's defensive strategy has changed. Howard's focus on assisting defense is on Sun Ce. Randolph scored 22 points in 29 minutes in the first three quarters, second only to Evans in the whole game, and Sun Ce's scores naturally decreased.

Today, Sun Ce originally planned to wait for the opportunity to use the star experience card, but after Howard's three fouls in the second quarter, his idea changed. He made Howard's foul at the beginning of the third quarter. Although it once led to the team's leading advantage being tied by the opponent, Howard successfully brought the fourth foul on his back.

When encountering such a situation where the opponent is targeted at defense, Sun Ce is very calm. He does not think like others that he wants to break the deadlock and break the shackles. He shoots less when he should, and reduces when he should hold the ball, and gives off the offensive scenes to his teammates and just defend himself.

This is a situation where the scoring champions of other championship teams rarely occur. The last time this happened was the Pistons in 2004. The one with the strongest scoring scored the right to take action, then the right to take action was given.

Although he only scored 17 points, Sun Ce's data is not bad. While scoring 17 points, he also had 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 blocks and 2 steals! And today he reduced the ball and singles, and the mistakes were reduced. He played in 37 minutes and only made two mistakes!

In the end, Randolph, who scored 22 points in the third quarter, Nash, who scored 12 points and 7 assists, Gasol, who scored 14 points, Sun Ce, who scored 17+15, and the role players, the Grizzlies slaughtered the 76ers 90-68, and tied the big score to 2-0!

...

...

The day after the second game, on the 17th, Sun Ce and his teammates came to Philadelphia together.

After a night off, I prepared for the first away game on the 18th and conducted preparation training.

After the morning tactical meeting and defensive movement training, during lunch break, Randolph came to the lounge with his tablet in his arms and said to Sun Ce, who was studying the video of the defensive cooperation of the Sixers, and said: "Noah, look, Iguodala had a fight with Howard yesterday afternoon!"

Randolph's gloating look immediately attracted Sun Ce's attention, and he pressed the pause and went to Randolph to read the news on the tablet.

The Boston Globe revealed that after the 76ers returned to Philadelphia yesterday morning, they began preparing for the battle in the afternoon. Howard got angry during the preparation process. Iguodala wanted to appease Howard, but the wording was not very good, using the tone of the leader's scolding, with the intention of stimulating Howard's fighting spirit.

Iguodala still doesn't know the personality of this superstar of the same class, so Howard can't stand it.

As a result, Howard became popular after being scolded and replied: I am a superstar, what are you xxx...

Iguodala also became popular, venting all the dissatisfaction accumulated over a season, pointing out a series of problems with Howard, and was named by the Boston Globe - Howard's Seven Deadly Sins.

Without leadership temperament, you have no skills in addition to relying on physical fitness and no skills in each game, you have to play singles several times. Too poor free throws often lead to the team in crisis. You also need to get angry in the second and third grade teammates or even rookie teammates to coax them. When you win, you steal the spotlight and lose the teammates. Once you play unhappy, you will get angry. You often talk about leading the team alone into the finals and affecting the unity of the locker room...

After Iguodala slandered Howard's seven deadly sins, the two completely quarreled.

In the end, the 76ers' training ended yesterday afternoon.

"I'll tell me!" Sun Ce looked at the problems of Howard that Iguodala said. Iguodala is a sage, and he really saw Howard thoroughly!

Sun Ce feels that the 76ers are about to collapse this summer!

In this situation, either Iguodala is leaving or Howard is going to be traded. It seems that it is incompatible. Iguodala seems to be very dissatisfied with Howard for a long time!

Sun Ce opened his mobile phone and turned on the official website of espn. The news of internal strife between the 76ers has become popular news, and the Grizzlies had already revealed the news when they finished the tactical meeting at 10 a.m. and started training. Three hours have passed. No one on the 76ers seem to have stood up to support Howard.

Perhaps the team banned them from discussing this matter, but even the 76ers management did not refute the rumors, and the ban on discussing this matter does not mean that one cannot say a scene like "This is all a small difference between brothers", and there is not even such a scene...

Sun Ce remembered that Howard was also named a locker room cancer in his original time and space, and he was disbanded from every old club. He even scored 16 points and 12 rebounds in one year, but was cut. He only got 5 million in the mini middle class contract in the new season, which caused heated discussion at the time. He could get 15 million in the inside line with an average of 8 points and 6 rebounds per game, but Howard didn't even have a team to ask for it.

Originally, Sun Ce also felt that even if Howard plunged in the defensive end in the future due to back injury, he would still be a top insider with averaging 17+12 data per game. Evans and Holiday of the 76ers continued to improve, plus Iguodala, and taking advantage of Evans and Holiday's last year's rookie contract to add to the inside substitute lineup, it will become the team they are most likely to continue to meet in the Grizzlies' Finals in the future.

This is happening now...

Just as Sun Ce was in deep thought, Randolph continued to gloat and said: "Noah, do you think Iguodala and Howard will fight in the game?"

Sun Ce gave Randolph a blank look. It was not a big deal to watch the fun... But he also felt that such a scene would definitely be famous for its history...

However, Sun Ce now had a concern and did not answer Randolph's gloating question, but asked: "Zach, if Iguodala and Howard really don't want to stay in the same team, who will be traded?"

For the stability of the team, Howard had already implemented the player options for next season before the All-Star Weekend. Iguodala's contract is still two years away, and the 13-14 season is the player option, so it is impossible for both of them to leave the team voluntarily.

Randolph replied: "Of course Iguodala will be traded. Although I hate Howard, he is the only player except you who can be used to trade James alone."

Even Randolph thinks so, Sun Ce thinks that everyone else must think so, including the management of the 76ers...

Then the problem is troublesome. Sun Ce feels that the current situation is the situation that the chief consultant who plays in a team in the West, who looks very similar to the NBA logo, wants to see the most!

Iguodala is too useful. If it weren't for too expensive and could not match the salary, Sun Ce would be willing to send Paul George to exchange Iguodala for the rest of his team.

Iguodala is currently at its peak. He can do it if he wants him to score 15 points in a game, he can get six or seven rebounds, defend James, get six or seven assists, shoot key balls, and have leadership abilities... The key is that he doesn't care about the data! This season, he has fallen to the regular season and averaged 10.2 points per game, so he still strives to be on the front line of defense.

Think about Teacher Tony + No. 1, plus myself, Gasol and Bathirl, the inside players... Unfortunately, their team has no space.

But if his own team can't get it, Sun Ce doesn't want that team to get it, otherwise it will be a bit scary.
Chapter completed!
