The score of 40:22 concealed many problems for the 76ers.

For example, the rotation lineup on the court at the beginning of the second quarter:

Tony Wroten, Stauskas, Hollis Thompson, Yakar Thompson, Wood

This rotation is ranked 30th in offense and 30th in defense by ESN.

Although he can only contribute 17 points normally, he really showed confidence today.

In the first three minutes of the second quarter, they lost only 2 points to the Thunder rotation lineup at 9:11.

"The main force is changing now? It's only been 3 minutes and 10 seconds! Donovan is so anxious." Since the lead has not been reduced too much, Young stayed on the bench and looked at Westbrook and Ibaka quietly.

Return to the field.

"Hmph, if you want to win, let's get Young back." Watching Ibaka grab an offensive rebound from the crowd and slam the ball into the basket, Donovan's confidence began to disappear again.

Got up.

In order to show his ability, his head involuntarily tilted towards the direction of the 76ers' bench.

Donovan is anxious, but Brett Brown is not anxious at all

He used his hand-to-hand technique to deal with Donovan's double-high rebound for more than a minute and nearly two minutes.

"Young, it's time to go, try to increase the score." With 7 minutes and 27 seconds left in the second quarter, Brett Brown put Young back on the court. At the same time, McConnell and Grant were also kicked out.

Sent on the scene.

"Shua"

55:38

As Wood made the second free throw, the 76ers only suffered a small loss during the rotation period.

Soon, this small loss was made up for.

"Being 17 points behind, you, the boss, should take the lead from the starting point." In the first round back on the court, Young and Westbrook were at each other's throats.

"Left side, strong thrust." Westbrook's right hand thrust was easily judged by Yang.

"Good opportunity" Before Westbrook made his next move, Young's eagle-like right hand found the best opportunity to capture it.

Clean and neat, Young's poke left the referee unable to find anything wrong.

but

He seemed to have used too much force and the ball was flying out of bounds.

"Young successfully took the ball out of Westbrook's hands"

"But, the ball was flying out of bounds, and Young chose... to dive."

"Young is really willing to do any dirty job; with his leadership, Philadelphia is expected to be revitalized!" As soon as Young jumped out, the praise from the local Philadelphia commentator came."

"The ball was saved near McConnell. McConnell was not easy to catch the pass."

"Westbrook's dive also came up, McConnell fell, and the referee didn't blow the whistle."

"Give me the ball," Young got up from the ground and came just after halftime to see Grant, who was assisting McConnell.

After receiving the ball, after waiting for McConnell to return to the top of the key, Young handed over the ball and began to move without the ball.

It has to be said that the Thunder were frightened by five 3-pointers in a single quarter. When Young ran from left to right, he not only dragged Robertson, but also took Ibaka out of the penalty area.

"Jerami Grant..." Adams' one-on-two defense at the basket was quickly discovered by McConnell at the top of the key.

And Grant lived up to everyone's expectations and scored the ball against Adams.

"Westbrook rushed inside, his layup was interfered by Noel, Adams' offensive rebound made up for it." Turning around, the Thunder used a rough singles tactic.

"Timeout." Brett Brown, who felt there was something wrong with the defense, immediately requested a timeout.

"Everyone, I'll be tighter when I'm blocked. Don't think about closing the rebound without getting blocked. The two insiders on the opposite side are both masters of rebounding." Brown used his roar to convey his strategy for the first time.

"Also when dealing with Westbrook, giving him space is not just about starting to break through, but giving him jump shots."

"Don't be afraid of him shooting, he will be obsessed with jump shots when he makes them." Brett Brown still did some homework on the Thunder.

“In addition, I also found problems with the opponent’s defense;

Once we play the pick-and-roll, no matter whether the center is blocking the reverse or flanking, the opposite forward will definitely recover the basket." The team's new defensive coach made a contribution in the first game.

"Billy, do I understand? I will seize the problem." As he was prompted, Yang also knew the key point to break the game.

…………

…………

"McConnell and Noel picked and rolled, Adams chose to delay, and the ball was passed to Moore, who was unguarded in the corner. How could Moore miss the great opportunity when there was no one three meters away."

"Young and Noel were playing a pick-and-roll on the right side. Adams chose to flank. Young noticed the problem in time and he was assigned..."

In the left corner, it's not Moore this time, it's McConnell.

A three-point shooting percentage of 303 at the start of the game...

But this couldn't stop this three-pointer from happening at all.

"McConnell called a double screen of Young and Noel, and Adams chose to delay as always."

"Ibaka didn't recycle this time, let's see if they can get a good defense."

"No, no, no, they won't get good results. If they don't recycle it, they will have to cut it inside."

"The Thunder's head coach is really stubborn."

Even an ordinary spectator discovered the Thunder's problem, but Donovan never made any changes or even called a timeout.

In view of the Thunder's attitude of only knowing their mistakes and not correcting them, once the rest of the 76ers were unable to open up, Young would create opportunities for them to create corner three-pointers and air cuts.

They lived up to their expectations, scoring 11 of 24 points in a single quarter, contributing 30 points to the team, and at the same time extending the team's advantage from 18 points in the first quarter to 26 points.

After the 15-minute intermission

Westbrook, who replaced the chip that assists the inside, finally discovered the flaw in the jump shot given by the 76ers:

"Clang, clang, clang." Within 1 minute of the start of the third quarter, Westbrook hit three irons from a long distance.

The first two counterattacks resulted in a turnover and a tip-in by Ibaka, so when the third rebound came:

Young took the lead and caught Ibaka behind him, and kept the rebound firmly in his arms.

"Quick, quick"

In this era where positional warfare is not an option, Young is naturally a little anxious when he sees that the Thunder are about to put up a defensive "wall".

"I..." Before Moore could ask for the ball, Young's pass arrived.

"clang"

When he throws three-pointers while running, Moore's shooting percentage is still slightly worse.

"Bang"

When Noel was the main center, his best role was finally reflected in this game: he firmly controlled the long rebound of Moore's missed three-pointer in his own hands.

"beep"

Just as Noelle turned around and leaned in, the referee's whistle sounded.

"Did I commit a foul?" Ibaka was furious when he heard that the referee was calling a defensive foul on himself.

"Calm down, calm down." Even though he was pulled by Adams, Tony Bradley still used a technical foul to show his presence.

"Ken a technical foul was the end of it, but as Ibaka continued to babble.
Chapter completed!
