Madison Garden Plaza

"Long time no see." Facing Courtney Lee, a hug was enough to explain the joy of reunion after a long separation.

"Although it's a bit late, I'd like to wish you a happy birthday. I'm ready for the gift. I'll come here after the competition." I haven't seen each other for a long time, and Courtney Lee hasn't forgotten Young's birthday.

"Joe and McConnell would also like to see you." The team's candidates changed so that McConnell only knew three people.

"It's time to get together, it's time for me to leave."

"Why did I arrange for me to broadcast the afternoon game? I really want to sleep." TNT appeared in the Philadelphia game for a long time, rather than ESPN that has always appeared.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have to broadcast live, it's not my salary anyway."

"Then I won't sleep anymore, let's take a look at the two sides against each other."

"New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers"

"The New York Knicks are currently 14 wins and 18 losses, ranking 11th in the Eastern Conference. They have won 5 goals in the last seven games, and finally got rid of the situation of the two last places in the Eastern Conference."

"The team's No. 2 scorer Hardaway Jr. continues to be absent due to stress response on his left leg. This is his eighth game."

"Compared with the New York Knicks' struggle, the 26-6-loss Eastern Conference No. Philadelphia 76ers are much smoother, they have played in 10 games in December.

Except for a game that will only be played when sleepwalking against the New Orleans Pelicans.

It was just a three-pointer that lost to Anunobi at home

The 8-2 loss result is to put James Harden and Chris Paul firmly in the second place in the league."

"The starters of both teams are released."

Jarret Jack, Courtney Lee, Lance Thomas, Porzingis, Kanter

Brogden, Justin Holiday, Tatum, Young, Embiid

Richardson is not in the starting lineup naturally because he is injured. He is in the game against the Bulls on December 18

Right quadriceps contusion

According to the inspection, he will be out of the game for at least two weeks.

Of course, there is still good news for the Philadelphia 76ers.

Siakam, who was injured for a long time, is back.

"Joe, is it uncomfortable to be in the back?" Embiid kept touching his back, which made Young pay attention.

"Go to see the team doctor. If it doesn't work, I won't fight." Although the Christmas battle attracted the attention of the media and the audience, it's not good to be injured if you are injured.

When you are uncomfortable, you have to rest.

"Embid can't play this game." T.N.T live broadcast room received news that Embiid was confirmed to be absent.

Philadelphia Inquirer Reporter Keith Pompey: Embiid will be absent from this game due to back tension

The starting position is Domantas Sabonis.

Start jumping

Sabonis and Porgizins stood in the middle circle

Failed to jump ball

Facing the unicorn Porzingis, Sabonis little can't take any advantage.

Receive the ball, fast fake moves to cut

｛Three points?

"Do you really think I'm a 19-year-old?" Porzingis quickly cut in with the fake action of shooting threats, which certainly created a great advantage for him.

but

Yang, who is excellent in both body steering and horizontal movement,

not enough

He quickly returned to the defensive position

Giving the ball to Jack

When facing a situation where you can't make a strong shot and a strong shot, Porzingis can only choose to pass the ball

"Cang" Jack's little Sabonis failed to attack.

Counterattack

"You push"

Tatum, who got the rebound, wanted to hand over the ball, but Monty Williams dissuaded the idea and let him advance

Three points or two points

Do I want to go into the basket

Tatum, who had a quick thought in his mind, didn't know how to make this decision for a while

"I'm here." Yang's voice was obviously a life-saving straw when he didn't know how to make a decision.

45-degree fast attack and three-pointer

Compared to being unsure of what to do with Tatum, Young is not polite at all

direct

Throwed very far

"boom~~boom~~boom~~~boom~~~beautiful fast attack three-pointer comes from Yang's ultra-long shot." Unlike the DJ who is dedicated to his own players at 63 points, this new DJ did not lower the volume according to common sense.

"The mistake was made, Porzingis' barely pass, Lance Thomas didn't react at all." Porzingis's face frame breakthrough failed again. In order to protect the ball from losing, he passed the pass directly out of bounds.

positional warfare

Instead of using the commonly used starting point point guard Brogden, the 76ers played in the center, Sabonis, who was playing in the center, helped him.

Lifting the center of gravity and spreading his arms to interfere with the ball-holder's passing route, Kanter did everything he could do, just

The pass was still beautifully completed, and the Yang, who cut out from the weak side, got the ball. There is no need to say anything about the next step.

In the blink of an eye, Yang scored his second three-pointer in the game.

｛Unlock the condom, get points first｝

"Screen" Knicks point guard Jack just passed halftime and chose to let Porzingis cover

Surround cover

The reason why Brogden chose to cover the screen is also very simple, after all, Jack has been here for a long time recently

All three-pointers hover around 30%.

"Oh no, it's fake cover." Porzingis, who left after a flash, did not give Brogden a chance to cover.

Three points

"Swish" finished the three-pointer, Yang also knew that the ball was definitely in line with ten points.

Hit

The Knicks finally started after more than a minute of the opening game

3:6

Pick and disassemble

After a quick three-pointer in the first round and a simple cut in the second round, the Philadelphia 76ers began the pick-and-roll assignment that a champion coach disliked the most.

"It's been a long time since, this is the tactic." Facing Yang standing under the basket and running out, Courtney Lee, who helped Lansthomas take over, was desperately rushing for the position in front of him.

brake

"Bang"

Kanter hit the back cover with a bad defensive habit, and Courtney Lee, who has good defensive experience and habits.

Because I'm concerned about the first two three points

There was no extra energy to share the pressure for Kanter.

Go into the basket

Sabonis did not choose to cut in, but chose to play outside

Create space for Brogdon's breakthrough under the basket.

"It's still time." Kante, who was delayed for a while, still wanted to block Brogden's breakthrough layup.

"Ding"

"No. 00, defensive interference ball, New York Knicks ball rights."
