DAY 45 A BREAK 3(1/2)
Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia 76ers locker room
"I won, your card is definitely not a heart." In order to keep Young's attention during the intermission, Monty Williams deliberately allowed him to let go a little.
"Are you sure?? Cough cough cough..."
"You lost, and a 2 of Hearts was revealed."

"15 minutes rest, the second half of the game is about to begin"
"Before the second half begins, let's first introduce the situation in the first half."
"The Philadelphia 76ers, who lost in G1, currently lead the Boston Celtics by 15 points 60:45 at home."
"Both teams currently have only one player in double figures. The 76ers are Young, who leads the personal scoring list in this game. He currently scored 15 points."
"The Celtics are Jaylen Brown, who has been repeatedly let go. He relied on "punishment" to score 10 points."
Celtic possessions
The 76ers who won the jump ball naturally did not have the first wave of the ball in the third quarter.
"Twirl"
When Marcus Morris and Jaylen Brown approached Rozier in the left corner, Embiid, who was standing behind Jaylen Brown, quickly reminded Richardson.
"Jason, change defense"
With Embiid's reminder, the pursuing Richardson decisively and quickly handed Rozier to Tatum.
"Josh, switch defense again." Josh Richardson was still a little too misplaced when facing Marcus Morris.
There is really no need to give this opportunity
"Jason, change defense quickly." Embiid, who had just changed defenders, suddenly discovered that Brogdon was caught by Rozier's mobile blind spot screen.
Accelerate, air-cut.
Seeing Brogdon being hung up by Rozier, the opposing Hayward cleverly seized this opportunity and rushed towards the 76ers' unguarded interior.
Pass the ball
Horford at the top of the arc naturally would not let go of the opportunity presented in this tactic and sent a pass to Hayward.
in place
Although the change of defense was delayed, Tatum still blocked Hayward after receiving the ball and entered the last line of defense for a layup.
basket
Hayward, who continued to walk inside, chose the less commonly used pick-up basket when there was not much room for his shot.
clang
Hayward's touch is still there, but this angle is too difficult.
Collect rebounds
Leave it to Richardson
Embiid cleanly ended the Celtics attack.
Handover after half time
Richardson can handle the ball, but his half-baked ball-handling skills cannot support the ball-handling task against the Celtics.
cross
In order to create a low post opportunity for the moving Embiid, Young lightly nudged Horford's pursuit.
Switch defense
Jaylen Brown saw that Horford was a beat slow and decisively took over Embiid's defense.
dislocation
The Celtics traded Horford to themselves, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Quick, Malcolm." In order to prevent the Celtics from changing defense in advance again, Young impromptuly ran in the direction of Rozier.
"Ok" Young successfully received Brogdon's pass
Look towards the basket and prepare to ball
There are no fancy pre-position moves, just show Horford that he wants to shoot.
take your hands away
Seeing Horford being called up, Young, who was about to join the ball, immediately switched to a sudden attack and headed towards the Celtic penalty area.
After evading Hayward's swipe-style assist defense, the Celtics only had Marcus Morris left in the penalty area.
left, right, left
basket
Facing the defense, Young stepped on the European step and showed a technique that is not commonly used recently.
clang
"Marcus, get stuck." Seeing that Marcus Morris didn't get positioned properly, Horford quickly communicated.
Horford will soon no longer have to worry about Marcus Morris being stuck.
Although Young's pick hit the basket, he eventually climbed into the basket.
45:62
"Too bad" Richardson didn't replace Jaylen Brown who was let go for protecting the rim.
"For three" Jaylen Brown's three-point penalty came again.
48:62
Holding the ball sideways across half court,
Facing Jaylen Brown, who kept harassing him after scoring the goal, Young used his wide body to block his pressure on the ball.
Come up and cover
Unlike in the past, it was not Embiid but Brogdon who came out of the penalty area.
true or false
Fake
Hayward, an excellent basketball player, thinks this is just a false move.
Just touch and go
Brogdon didn't respond to what Hayward expected, but it was a fake screen.
Another cover
Hiding behind Brogdon and setting up another cover was Richardson.
Quickly go down
As a pick-and-roll screener, Richardson's handling is a bit rough, but he definitely won't act like a rookie who wants to score.
Not blocking at all, just moving along
"Under the basket" Rozier's size disadvantage made the Celtics pay great attention to the 76ers' bullying of the small.
Another cover
When all attention was drawn away from the basket, Embiid stepped on the edge of the penalty area and suddenly set up a screen.
Quick cut out
Tatum seized the opportunity created by Embiid and came out from the opposite baseline.
"Switch defense"
Horford reacted in a very short time
But
Yang at the top of the arc delivers "cannonballs" to the bottom corner at a faster speed
Catch the ball, adjust one step laterally, and shoot
Facing the flying Horford, Tatum shot the first arrow of the three-pointer without hesitation.
Unlike Young's stumble, Tatum's three-pointer went directly into the net.
48 to 65
"clang"
Jaylen Brown, who was once again left open outside the three-point line, missed this opportunity.
