NBA: Miller moment at the start

Embiid wanted to retaliate but failed, and was called for a foul. He instinctively wanted to make trouble.

Coach Brown found that he was in a bad mood and immediately requested a timeout, while shouting at Embiid:

"Come back!"

He was still intimidating. Embiid's desire to make trouble was suppressed, and then he was pressed on the bench.

He committed 3 fouls in the first quarter. If he didn't calm down, he would be dead in the first half.

Without Embiid, the game returned to its normal rhythm.

The Lakers were in high spirits and pressed the 76ers.

The 76ers lacked Embiid, and the game was difficult and the scene was ugly, but the score was not widened by the defense of the perimeter.

There were 4 minutes left in the first quarter, and the rotation time was up.

27:22,

The Lakers had the advantage but could not score, and did not establish a big advantage.

After Embiid was replaced, Wang Ba took 2 shots and made 1 mid-range shot.

In the first quarter, he made 3 of 5 shots and 4 of 4 free throws, scoring 12 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound, 4 blocks and 1 steal.

The Lakers were very excited and felt that they had a sure win, but reality soon poured cold water on them.

Three minutes into the second quarter, the 76ers were 6 points behind and replaced their main players in advance. The Lakers also replaced their main players.

The Lakers attacked, Ingram's layup was interfered, Embiid controlled the rebound and handed it to Simmons

After half court,

Simmons and Redick cooperated and scored 3 points from the outside.

The Lakers attacked,

Rondo signaled to slow down the tempo, slowly controlled the ball to the frontcourt,

The 76ers suddenly increased their defensive intensity and pressed forward, Rondo passed the ball to McGee in the interior, McGee made a strong attack,

Embid, who calmed down, was very scary, found the right rhythm, gave McGee a big block, Simmons got the ball and scored another 2 points in a fast break.

The 76ers played a 5:0 wave, chasing the score to 39:40, 1 point behind.

Walton called a timeout, but it didn't have much effect, and the 76ers firmly took the initiative.

The Lakers made various challenges, put Pope up, and used him with Wang Ba, hoping to open up space.

The 76ers showed strong perimeter defense.

Wang Ba was targeted and had a hard time getting a good shot. He was defended to 2 of 6.

Pope was not much better, 1 of 4.

The 76ers showed their ferocity. The Lakers could only rely on Rondo's passing and Kuzma's singles. Walton tried many combinations but the results were not good.

Wang Ba was helpless.

The best effect was to use King Card, Pope and him at the same time. Adding one perimeter output point could increase the 76ers' defense difficulty.

But Walton was stubborn. He changed many combinations but refused to play 3 perimeter players.

All he could do was to extend Wang Ba's playing time and keep the score close. At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers and 76ers were tied at 68:68.

...

In the Lakers locker room, the atmosphere was a little dull.

Wang Ba slumped in a chair, a towel covering his head, not wanting to talk.

Physical recovery is a long process. He has a big problem with his physical fitness. Today's game with Embiid was very exhausting.

Little Walton, the old sixth, used him to death. He rested for 7 minutes in the first half. Such a high-intensity game, back-to-back,

He really couldn't recover.

Rondo noticed his problem and asked with concern:

"Is there a problem with your physical fitness?"

Wang Ba nodded and did not deny it.

Rondo said meaningfully:

"The 76ers' outside line is too high, Simmons always follows you, and Redick helps you defend. Embiid is inside. If you want to win, you have to solve the outside line."

Wang Ba smiled bitterly:

"Add more shooting points on the outside, such as Larus."

There are many strange phenomena in the NBA.

The two core players want the ball and can't play without the ball. Fans can see it, but the team insists on introducing these two players.

The team may have commercial considerations, but Walton Jr. is very strange.

There is no reason why Walton Jr. can't see the problem they can see, but he just doesn't change Caruso, which makes the game very difficult.

Rondo went to Wang Ba, not to discuss with Walton Jr.

NBA teams have internal struggles, involving many interests. Who knows what Walton Jr. is thinking? He will not touch this bad luck.

"Actually, there is another way."

...

Commentary seat,

Van Gundy and Jackson took advantage of the intermission to analyze the situation of both sides.

"The Lakers have already lost."

"In the second quarter, the Lakers relied on extending the time of the starting lineup to hold the score. In the third quarter, their physical fitness will have problems."

"The Lakers can use Caruso, Pope and Wang Ba together. Wang Ba plays organization, Kuzma and Rondo play rotation. This is more reasonable."

Van Gundy used to be a coach, and his views are still very constructive.

Wang BaHe can play with the ball, but he insists on playing Rondo without the ball. There is no point guard in the rotation time. It is simply a mess.

Jackson said something meaningful:

"The four young Lakers players grew up in the hands of Walton Jr., and they have feelings for each other... The Lakers management has an unclear attitude towards Kuzma and Ingram. He has kept them on the bench for a long time, and the pressure is probably not small. If the team is determined to train them, his position as head coach may not be guaranteed."

People's hearts are very complicated.

When Walton Jr. was eager to win, he boldly used Wang Ba and put Kuzma on the bench.

When the record improved, the idea changed accordingly.

Many people say that there is no intrigue abroad. In fact, there are rivers and lakes where there are people. The difference is that the bottom line is different.

Soon the second half of the game began, both sides started to play. At the beginning of the game, Wang Ba and Rondo attacked the 76ers' inside line frantically.

They couldn't object to the lineup, so they changed their style of play.

Embid had 3 fouls.

If he was beaten, the Lakers would have a chance in the inside. If the 76ers wanted to defend the inside, they had to shrink, and then the outside line would have a chance.

Wang Ba and Rondo's style of carrying explosives was very effective. With 3 fouls, Embiid didn't dare to move too much and was scored by the two in succession.

Ingram and Kuzma saw that it was profitable, so they didn't shoot outside. They followed the explosives and bombed the emperor. The Lakers miraculously played a climax of 14:6.

Coach Brown couldn't sit still anymore, he asked for a timeout and told Embiid:

"You have three fouls, be careful, but you still have to shoot, don't be timid!"

Embid's eyes lit up,

He had been impatient with the impact for a long time, but he was just suffering from the number of fouls and didn't dare to be too harsh,

Now the coach spoke, the coach was also responsible for the foul.

If Brown knew his thoughts, he would definitely vomit blood, his mind was not on playing, he was always playing tricks, he didn't want to learn from the good but had to learn from me. (I'm just joking, dog head save life)

After the timeout,

The Lakers still used the old routine, rushing to the inside,

Ingram rushed in with the ball, running towards Embiid,

He played simply and roughly, but he didn't expect Embiid to block it so firmly and decisively, and it was too late to realize that something was wrong.

Snap! !

Embiid slapped the ball hard, but the referee didn't blow the whistle.

"Roar!"

He flexed his muscles and yelled at Ingram, then looked at Wang Ba, as if to say: Come over here if you dare!
