Chapter 14(1/2)

Embiid exits, Sabonis enters

In the 8th minute of the first quarter, Monty Williams removed Embiid, who was declining in physical strength.

Tristan Thompson (top), Claude (bottom)

Cavaliers head coach Tyronn Lue decided to strengthen defense after Embiid rested:

The reason why Tyronn Lue chooses to defend is simple;

At this time, the score on the court has reached 13:23

"It may not be a good move to replace Tristan Thompson and choose to defend. Today, the 76ers' attacks on the basket were basically decoys except for Embiid's time in the opening game."

"There is no way to solve the problem by attacking. We can only try to defend."

This year’s Cleveland Cavaliers have shown a distinctive label:

When Love plays center, he sacrifices defense to preserve offense.

When Tristan Thompson plays center, he sacrifices offense to preserve defense.

Attack and defense cannot be balanced, one must be sacrificed

The effect of sacrificing offense to preserve defense is not very good:

After the first quarter, the Cavaliers trailed by 13 points at 18:31.

VanVleet, Burks, Holiday, Jeff Green, Embiid

Embiid left the game early in the first quarter and appeared in the 76ers' rotation.

Shumpert, Wade, Korver, Ennis, Frye

Aside from the setback with the Bulls, who were chasing LeBron James for Chris Wade, the Cleveland Cavaliers had no "captures" in free agency this summer.

James Ennis???

This is the last energy James Jones burned for LeBron James.

After the transaction, James Jones announced his retirement.

"This rotation lineup cannot stop Embiid." The meat shield and help defender only account for 1/3. The combination of Ennis and Frye is obviously not enough in front of Embiid.

Even though Embiid made 1 of 5 shots in the first quarter and missed all 2 free throws.

…………

Mid-range pull-up jump shot made

Wade, who couldn't get into the paint, could only use a compromise method to score points personally in the second quarter.

20 to 31

Holding the ball facing the three-point line

Facing Frye, Embiid did not go low but chose to face the frame.

"I'm going to shoot."

Embiid has prepared a shooting notice and is now waiting for Frye to choose

Still give it a step?

Frye doesn't believe Embiid can hit a three-pointer.

Take action

If you don't believe it, let him believe it. Embiid's shot is very confident.

Voted???

Voted???

Embiid's small-sample three-point numbers are good, but they don't change the deep-rooted impression.

"Ennis, grab the rebound." Frye thought the ball couldn't be scored.

clang, clang, clang

James Ennis, who took off to collect the backcourt rebound, discovered

This ball......

Entered

Embiid continued his hook shot before the end of the first quarter.

Small medium distance throw

After holding the ball, Wade looked around at his teammates and could only choose to avoid Embiid's block and throw.

hit

Wade continued his 9-point performance in the previous game.

catch the ball,face frame

Embiid, who was one step away from the free throw line, once again faced Frye with the ball.

Shooting pose again

{Fly} Frye flew away in the blink of an eye. It seems that the last long shot made a deep impression on Frye.

Assistance in defensive blocking

Wade, who came to join James, burst out with a defensive enthusiasm that did not suit his age.

"Di" can't prevent fouls even if it's enthusiastic.

One free throw, hit

Two free throws, hit

Embiid completely wiped out the bad touch in the first quarter in the second quarter.

…………

…………

One three-pointer, one mid-range shot, and two free throws.

Finds cutting Jeff Green when double-teamed

Give Holiday a three-pointer to punish LeBron James' defense

End of 5 minutes,

Embiid turned in a great performance during the rotation.

The 76ers' report card is beautiful, while the Cavaliers' report card is based on personal ability:

Before LeBron James returned in 10 minutes, he relied on Wade's personal ability to catch up.

After LeBron James returned, except for Korver who caught two fleeting opportunities to slightly share the pressure, the rest were all personal injuries from LeBron James.

30:47

Except for Embiid, the main players on both sides have returned to the court.

The choice for the 76ers center position is not Sabonis Jr.

Chris Boucher, the third center on a two-way contract

"Love scored a three-pointer. Finally, the Cavaliers have a third player who scored a three-pointer." Chris Boucher made a mistake right away, but it's not a big deal.

The advantage now is huge

"clang"

Richardson missed from beyond the three-point line, but there's nothing that can be done about it. Aside from Embiid, his 36.1% three-point shooting is the second-worst among the starters.

"Retreat..." Just as he was about to shout out, a red figure No. 25 controlled the ball.

"The third one." Although Boucher's passing was very immature and did not match the force given to the shooter, these problems were not a problem for Young.

hit

The third 3-pointer came just 24 seconds after taking the field.

"Timeout." Tyronn Lue was not stingy about his timeout at all.

Tyronn Lue's timeout gave the Cavaliers an opportunity to analyze this defensive round.

"Richardson shot a three-pointer. This is an acceptable result in a defensive round. The Cavaliers have no problems here."

"When the rebound leaves the interference zone."

"LeBron James is not stuck, Love is not stuck"

"Claude got stuck, but the direction of the ball was not his direction at all. It was not his fault."

"This resulted in the offensive rebound being taken down by Boucher." There are obviously two completely different feelings between having pictures and no text, and having text and no pictures.

"After Boucher got the rebound, the Cavaliers also had no reaction, but left the simplest passing route open."
