Chapter 363 The Angry Embiid
Zhang Xin went to catch the ball by himself and dribbled across the half court, signaling Pau Gasol to come up for a high pick-and-roll. Gasol quickly pulled up and took Covington away. Embiid and Zhang Xin faced off again!

Zhang Xin did not pass the ball to Gasol this time, and directly broke through to the right hand. The speed was extremely fast, and Embiid's footsteps were not slow. He was one step away and fought and retreated. Zhang Xin pulled back, and Embiid was dumped After taking two steps, Zhang Xin approached his right hand with his left hand, retracted his right foot, looked at the basket, and all his body movements seemed to be about to end the shot.

Embiid was shocked, jumped up and stretched out his long arms, trying to block Zhang Xin's shot, but Zhang Xin gently ground the ball past Embiid, Ilyasova wanted to come to help defend, Zhang Xin made a pad Taking off with one step, Ilyasova took off vertically and wanted to use his height and wingspan to intercept in the air, but Ilyasova immediately realized that he was thinking too much. Zhang Xin's take-off height was too high. Zhang Xin directly pressed Ilyasova, and his right hand He held the ball high and dunked on Ilyasova's head!
"Phew!" An exclamation came from the Wakovia Center. The ball was really amazing. Zhang Xin's movement was quick and neat, and he directly dunked Ilyasova!

"What a play! Zhang Xin bowed past Embiid, rushed under the basket to face Ilyasova's interception, and directly dunked the 208cm tall Ilyasova. This ball is really explosive! "The on-site commentator roared excitedly.

Embiid looked up at the big screen. On the big screen, Zhang Xin moved gracefully to break through himself. Facing Ilyasova's interception, jumping and buckling, his movements were stretched, and the rhythm was particularly natural. It was too powerful to be able to be so relaxed. Embiid looked at Zhang Xin with a complicated expression, but saw that Zhang Xin still nodded to him with a bright face.

Embiid's newly aroused respect was destroyed by Zhang Xin's brilliant mocking face: This man is so powerful, but so hateful!
Embiid wanted to fight back against Zhang Xin, but Zhang Xin didn't give him a chance, so he went straight to the flank. As long as Embiid received the ball in the low position, the flank players would go straight to Embiid. Defense is not about Zhang Xin targeting Embiid, but to integrate the Suns' defense. The 76ers are a good drill target: average outside shooter, strong center inside, tall, short, fat and thin just right!

Under the attack of the Suns, it was difficult for Embiid to get a chance, and the shooting rate of the outside line was not high. In this kind of drill, the Suns' defense became more and more proficient, and the 76ers' offense gradually stagnated. Under Zhang Xin's main attack, the Suns scored 26 points in half a quarter, and Zhang Xin scored 18 points alone, which stunned the fans in Vakovia Center!

Zhang Xin did not attack much in the previous games in order to create opportunities for young people. In the last two games that he lost, Zhang Xin carried the team forward, but Zhang Xin was not happy about losing a game with a high score. Today It just so happened that Bede came over to make noise, and it would be fun to take the opportunity to teach the future No. [-] center forward, so Zhang Xin did not suppress his desire to attack.

In the second quarter, when the lineup was rotated, Zhang Xin did not give in. He turned on the day-to-day mode, chasing three-pointers, running three-pointers without the ball, alley-oops, air-cut layups, one-on-one singles, and strong shots against people. Three-pointers, low backs and fadeaway jumpers... He tried almost all scoring methods!
This time, not only the fans at the Vakovia Center were dumbfounded, but even the Suns teammates and coaching staff were dumbfounded. After Zhang Xin came to the Suns, he had a few 50+ triple-doubles, but the piecemeal scoring and concentrated burst of scoring brought The shock was completely different. Zhang Xin almost beat the 76ers by himself. Zhang Xin scored 28 points in the second quarter!
At halftime, Zhang Xin has scored 46 points!
The fans looked at the score on the big screen with their heads held in disbelief. How could one person have such explosive scoring power!
Of course, the fans know Zhang Xin's various scoring records. Even the record of 82 points in a single game belongs to Zhang Xin. It stands to reason that it is not surprising that Zhang Xin scored 46 points. Almost all the fans at the scene have seen Zhang Xin's 82 points. It is a collection of points, but the shocking effect of watching it live is completely different!

Embiid, who has always been carefree, stared at Zhang Xin's great scoring performance with rounded eyes, and he was about to be shocked: he had never seen such a player who scored as easily as cutting melons and vegetables!

Through Zhang Xin's explosive performance, the Suns led the 76ers by 30 points at halftime. In the second half, Zhang Xin didn't play at all.

Zhang Xin clocked in two quarters and scored 46 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds. This halftime scoring record did not break the scoring record, because the halftime scoring record was the game when Chamberlain scored 100 points in a single game. Chamberlain scored 59 points in the second half. The highest scoring record in a half in NBA history, if today's 76ers didn't lose so quickly, Zhang Xin may not be able to break Chamberlain's single-game scoring record.

Zhang Xin scored 46 points in the first half. In fact, he only played half of the first quarter. The total time was only one and a half quarters. In less than 18 minutes, he scored 46 points and also got 7 assists and 8 rebounds. If converted In 36 minutes, Zhang Xin's data was 104.5 points, 15.9 assists and 18.1 rebounds!

Once this data was converted, it shocked the league, and countless celebrities were blown up, and they all commented on Zhang Xin's explosive performance.

Kobe Bryant: Unbeatable!
Michael Jordan: In terms of scoring, I only obey Zhang Xin!

Shaq O'Neal: I'm glad I'm not Embiid.

Tracy McGrady: Fortunately, I still have 35 minutes in 13 seconds!
……

Rajon Rondo was interviewed after the game:

"At that time, Zhang Xin invited me to join Phoenix. Actually, I didn't think about going to Phoenix, but you know, I am not very good at shooting, and Zhang Xin is one of the best shooting players on the planet. When he invited me At that time, I said in my mouth that I would consider it, but I agreed in my heart long ago. With Zhang Xin, I don’t even need to score, and even other teammates don’t need to score. Just let Zhang Xin score. Anyway, he won a game. 100 points is also possible, for example, tonight, if he continues to play, he may really get 100 points!"

Coach Earl Watson said in an interview:

"I have to clarify one thing first. I encouraged Zhang Xin to play and continue the game, but Zhang was not willing because the score was too wide. To be honest, I am very happy that Zhang scored 46 points at halftime. There are many great scorers in the league, but Zhang Xin may be the one with the most explosive scoring power. His scoring methods can be compiled into a textbook. I am the luckiest in my life to be able to coach him things."
