207 First Battle: Washington
On the evening of October 18, Washington.
Faced with the cold wind, the 76-person bus in Philadelphia is getting closer and closer to the Capital One Arena
Capital One Arena???
Yes, the Washington Wizards changed their home name from Verizon Center to Capital One in the summer a few months ago.
"What did you feel before the first game of the rookie season??" Facing Tatum sitting next to him, Yang looked out the window.
"It seems that I can't tell you how I felt at that time. I remember that I was arguing with Isaiah Thomas on social media about the focus of the spotlight..." Young, who withdrew his eyes out of the window, could not give a formal answer.
"Just fulfill the coach's requirements. The data in the first game is normal." Seven preseason games and three games were scored in double-double, and Tatum actually did a good enough job.
"It's almost here." Fans wearing Washington Wizards jerseys began to appear next to the streets.

Important signings: Tim Fraser (52 signing transaction), Judy Meeks (7 million in 2 years), Mike Scott (1.71 million in 1 year)

Renewal: Otto Porter (4 years 106 million, fourth year player option, 15% transaction margin, pay 50% of the season's salary by October 1)
"The Washington Wizards' summer operations are basically small repairs and small repairs. Their biggest operation is to match the 4-year, 106 million maximum salary contract provided by the Brooklyn Nets to Porter." There was no championship ring in this game, so it is mainly to introduce the operations of the two teams in summer.
"Unlike the Washington Wizards who made minor repairs, the Eastern Conference champion Philadelphia 76ers made drastic adjustments in the summer."
"The big moves are more about the bench rotation, and among the main players, they only let Robert Covington go."
"According to the preseason, Tatum's attack meets the requirements of the 76ers."
Important signings: Sabonis Jr. (Trade) Amir Johnson (12 million in 1 year), Jeff Green (2.7 million in 1 year), Tatum (2nd pick in the first round) Burks (Trade) Justin Holiday (4.8 million in 1 year), Alfonso McKinney (1 year, partial guarantee) Chris Boucher (two-way contract)

Renewal: Richardson (4 years, 42 million in advance), Embiid (5 years, 158 million in advance)

…………
"The starters on both sides are out." As the lights of the Capital One Arena went out, the entry ceremony on both sides began.
Philadelphia 76ers: Brogdon, Richardson, Tatum, Young, Sabonis Jr.
Embiid's knee injury still made him unable to catch up with the first regular season game.
Between Amir Johnson filling in the line of poverty and young potential stocks Sabonis Jr., Monty Williams chooses to trust young people
Washington Wizards: Wall, Bill, Porter, Markieff Morris, Gott
The Washington Wizards' starting lineup is the same as when they played against the playoffs a few months ago, without any change.
Sabonis Jr. Gott is in the middle circle. Embiid is not there, and Monty Williams handed over the jump ball mission to Sabonis Jr.
"beep"
As Spalding was thrown into the air by the referee in the center circle, the centers standing on both sides reacted.
Sabonis wins or Gotat wins???
Sabonis's hand
The young and energetic little Sabonis hit the jump ball in front of Gotat.
Wait for placement
When Sabonis Jr. fell to the waist position, Brogdon handed over the ball.
Cross-run
There is no change from the start of the game half a year ago, it is still the same old trick
If you have a range, you can make bait if you don't eat it.
Cut the basket after eating
The Wizards can't make defensive changes???
Monty Williams said that according to their current lineup, there is no way to change it.
"Wall and Morris are all going to chase Brogden."
"Bill's return to defense was also a beat slower."
In less than five seconds, the three-second zone of the Washington Wizards changed from crowds to deserted.
Tatum that Buwall leaks???
Richardson is still cutting the basket
Under the basket
As a representative of the slow center of the foot, Gotat can only choose to protect the basket first.
Pass, left corner
With the ball, a fixed-point three-pointer, Tatum completed this set of movements smoothly.
The Oklahoma City Thunder's space-type inside use is obviously a misalignment of Sabonis Jr.? The 5-position playing method that supports low post + pass is his instruction manual.
Cover + Strong Break
Facing the little Sabonis's frame protection, Wall used a very simple and crude method of solving the problem
No coordination
Even though they were compressed into the free throw line, the 76ers did not transfer their troops back to the basket from the others.
"Is Wall's leg injured?" Sabonis's interference was not very good? But Wall was blocked by the basket.
Fast attack
Yang, who had confiscated the short rebound, started pushing speed.
"I'm here." Brogden wants to make a shot, so just make a shot? As a fast break three-pointer, Yang can understand this feeling of wanting to make a shot
Hit
In the flash of lightning? The Philadelphia 76ers are already 6:0 in Washington Wizards
"Bill used Gott's cover? He made a jump shot around the cover." Unlike Wall, Bill looked like he was shooting well today.
"Slow down? Slow down? There is no need to play so fast." The advancement speed was too fast? Monty Williams had to run to the sidelines to remind him.
Brogden, who also had a test range, ran to Gott and Sabonis Jr. as soon as he saw the ball pass the half.
{Jason comes here}Brogden decided to muddle the water in this area a little more.
cover
The mix of authenticity and false covers has caused problems in the defensive communication between Gott, Wall Morris and the three.
Three-point line??Wal is here!!!
Gott at the basket!!!
Where is the Big Morris? He is at the basket!!!
Passing? Since Morris Big is given a chance, how could Yang's pass not be passed in place
Take the ball
Hit
8:2
"Fixed three-pointers, mid-range jump shot. Tatum uses a diverse offensive approach to highlight Philadelphia's choice of choice."
Sabonis Jr.'s mobility at the basket and the backcourt rebounds were not as good as Embiid, who had not gained weight, which allowed the Washington Wizards to find a way to crack it in the middle distance.
Morris and Porter scored two shots to exchange for 2 points for the Wizards.
"I'll do it." Yang seemed to see something? He quickly picked up Spalding.
"There is someone under the basket?" The Washington Wizards player who retreated to defend did not find a 76ers hidden under the basket.
"Ding" Facing the defensive player who flew back, Tatum "takes a move"
Chapter completed!
