214 Undefeated Showdown
After ending their only home game against the Celtics in the first four games, the 76ers embarked on a road trip again:
110 to 117, 89 to 99
The Toronto Raptors and Detroit Pistons both resisted and did not want to lose, but neither Ibaka + DeRozan + Lowry's 62 points nor Reggie Jackson's 27 points could stop the 76ers' winning streak.
The Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Magic, the Celtics lost to 76 people, and the Toronto Raptors lost to 76 people.
With the current 2.3.4 teams all losing, the 76ers are the only undefeated team left in the Eastern Conference.
Lost to the Nuggets, lost to the Jazz, lost to the Grizzlies
The West is no better than the East. Even the Golden State Warriors, who won three consecutive championships, lost to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Of course, the whole army in the west was not wiped out but only a single seedling remained.
Also the Philadelphia 76ers’ fifth opponent:
James Harden and Chris Paul

October 24 afternoon, New York
Inside the Philadelphia 76ers training facility
"Scott, there are still a few minutes to finish in the video analysis room." Smith, who was new this year, was sent by equipment manager Scott Rego to the video analysis room to check the situation after making several consecutive problems.
.
"Go fill up the sports drinks and bring the water." It was a rare job, so he could only be asked to do some simple tasks.
OK, at least this person can do something.
Entrance to the video analysis room
"It's such a rare feeling. I need to eat more after the next game." After watching the video, Embiid suddenly felt like he was not feeling well.
"Dear Joe, I still have to remind you to look down at our schedule." Young, who was resting on Embiid's shoulder, handed over the mobile phone in his pocket.
"We still have to play after one game???" That's right, two games at home and away in five days.
In fact, this kind of euphemistic advice is useless:
Burgers, fries, sandwiches.
On the one hand, these foods are very nutritious; on the other hand, these three items are the key "props" that cause gastroenteritis.
but
I can't stand it. Embiid loves to eat. If you continue to persuade him not to eat.
In this era where traffic is king, if the team's two best players have a quarrel, who knows what will be written by reporters.
"Gather, let's practice the split offense and defense." Monty Williams finally walked out of the video analysis room.
"Young, you hold the ball and imitate James Harden and Chris Paul."
"Okay." The inexplicable toothache caused Yang to support his right chin with his right hand.

Injury list: All players are healthy. Injury list: All players are healthy.
Two 4-0 teams in the East and West had no one on the injured list before Game 5.
Brogdon, Richardson, Tatum, Young, Embiid
Chris Paul, James Harden, Trevor Ariza, PJ Tucker, Capela
There are no injuries in either team, and there is no reason not to attack with the whole army
jump ball in center circle
Even if Embiid has not evolved into a behemoth, he can still hit the ball into his own half on the jump ball.
{Rip}When Embiid's ball was still flying in the air, Monty Williams took a special look at Richardson.
cover???
Capela, who was walking towards the inside, was also confused as to why there was a cover now.
Switch defense???
In the unlimited defense system, Capela glanced at Richardson's opponent

If you don’t see it, go around it.
Who made him James Harden?
"Go..." Capela vaguely heard Chris Paul's voice, but the voice quickly disappeared.
boom
Richardson's sudden second screen followed in a short time.
The sound of "bang" dunks resounded over the Wells Fargo Center.
"Hey, No. 17 committed a defensive foul, No. 21 received an additional penalty." The linesman on the right decisively called Chris Paul's first foul.
"No. 17's nose is bleeding and the game is suspended." The referee forced the game to stop.
"Beautiful goal, from our JoJo" DJ roared letting us know that the dunk came from Embiid.
As for what else happened???
Although it was not fast from 12:00 to 11:53, what happened, the camera did not catch up with it at all.
Tucker's nose was broken and bleeding, giving ample time for replay.
"After the jump ball, Joe immediately ran from the left side to the basket." This game did not receive support from national live broadcasts.
"At this time, Joe is not the focus. The focus is Josh. After getting the signal from the head coach, he set up a screen on Capela's path."
"In the first shot, none of the five people on the court reacted. When Capela tried to get around the screen, Paul, whose sight had been blocked by Josh before, reacted:
He hurried to Tucker in the paint area below the free throw line to help defend Embiid, who was already rushing.
He himself reached out at the free throw line to block the net.
At this time, turn your sight back to near the midline
Young, who had just passed half the ball with the ball, was not closely defended by Ariza, but had a passing gap of about one step.
Excellent vision of 2.1 meters, small flaws of James Harden and Ariza,
Let this deliberately arranged alley-oop be hidden between randomness and accident.
The extra free throw hit, and when Tucker's blood was cleared, Embiid pocketed his third point.
Slowly falling into position
Unlike last year when there was only one single ball handler, this year with Chris Paul, James Harden's offensive rhythm dropped a lot in the first four games.
above the free throw line
Do you stay near the paint??
Last year, three people shared the responsibility of checking and filling in the gaps, but this year only two people were left.
"Joe, position." I don't blame Embiid for this problem. He has developed muscle memory after squatting in the paint for a long time.
Ariza screens Tucker
"Young." Tatum, who is guarding Ariza, needs to be instructed to change defense.
"Don't switch defenses." Tucker's backdoor opener is indeed a dangerous thing, but it is not fatal.
"Jason, be careful not to be deceived."
"Qiao, don't look at the penalty area." Embiid glanced at the penalty area. This matter is non-negotiable.
Stepping on the edge of the left penalty area, you have to pay attention to Tucker's distance, Capela's route, and Harden's position. It is really a waste of brain cells.
boom
Capela didn't even set up the screen for Ariza and ran away.
Tucker back screen
The two most important parts have been exposed, making the purpose of this tactic fully apparent.
Move half a step to the right.
"Hello, Clint." Capella rushed forward and suddenly heard a sound from the floor.
The biggest problem with "Dong" weighing 114 kilograms is that the sound of hitting the floor is too loud.
"Offensive foul No. 15." James Capas blew the whistle the first time he fell.
Why???
The classic complaining thing is back again, and of course this time it's Capela who rarely complains.
He has already taken his position in advance
He's outside the reasonable collision zone
Chapter completed!
