This Forward is Not Serious Chapter 601

Embiid didn't just open his mouth. He said this because, since the first round, Simmons has been practicing three-pointers every day, and the effect is very obvious.

You can even see him hitting three-pointers in a row.

It's not comparable to a super shooter like Curry, but for a player who doesn't shoot himself, it's a very good performance.

Even, as Embiid feels, you have a feeling that Simmons is gifted at the 3-pointer!

That's why he's so supportive of Simmons in front of the media.

If it's just a teammate, you don't have to do this for the other party. After all, there is a certain probability that you will be slapped in the face.

Embiid's support, and once again using his own famous words, quickly attracted heated discussions on social media.

Similar to the previous Smart incident, most fans felt that what Embiid said...was wrong.

A sentence said by a fan named "Lin Ying No. 1 Ashes" is the most piercing sentence.

"Compared to Simmons not making a 3-pointer, the scarier thing is that Simmons didn't make a 3-pointer in the first round."

Being able to throw in, and whether or not to throw in are two different things.

Just like Kobe's famous saying: I'd rather go 0-for-30 than go 0-for-9.

If you don't even have the confidence to shoot, it's impossible to make a shot.

Of course, there are still many fans, mainly 76ers fans, who believe that Simmons will develop the three-pointer as Embiid said.

After all, the sample size of a season is too small.

In particular, from the behavior of Simmons adding three-pointers, it can be seen that he has realized that he needs to strengthen this aspect.

NBA players, as long as they are willing to train, they can definitely train under normal circumstances.

Amid this kind of discussion outside, the curtain of the division semifinals between the Nets and the 76ers officially kicked off.

It was still the opening game of the Barclays Center, and the venue was still packed.

And New York fans, following the previous diss Smart, were also making fun of Simmons at this time.

"The harder thing than an NBA championship is Ben Simmons making a three-pointer."

"If you can't ejaculate, you must go to the hospital to see if it is a psychological problem!"

"As long as you make a three-pointer, I'll sleep with you tonight!"

What? It was Embiid who made the remarks, not Simmons?

Now it's not just Brooklyn fans who come to the Barclays Center to watch the game, at least many of them are fans of the original Knicks.

New York fans represented by the Knicks, they don't care so much about you!

However, this wave of operations will put more pressure on Simmons than before.

Moreover, this time, no Kobe took the initiative to enlighten Simmons or anything.

It would be a transformation to be able to withstand this kind of pressure and break out.

Unable to bear it, the legendary psychological problem may appear in advance.

After the warm-up, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting lineups of the two teams were released one after another.

On the Nets side, Kobe Bryant is in a suit and leather shoes, and tonight is in a state of rest.

Bradley, Ariza, Durant, Lin Ying, Jokic;

Lue used the Nets' starting lineup last season.

However, Lu is obviously not a decision made with a slap of his head. Simmons is a big point guard. It is difficult for Rose and Bradley to compete with him. In comparison, Ariza, who has been on the bench this season, is better. candidate.

The 76ers are all out here.

Simmons, JJ Redick, Covington, Saric, Embiid.

Covington once played for the Nets, went to the Knicks in the Rose trade, and then went around to the 76ers.

Before the game, on-site photographers gave Embiid a close-up of his knee, which was strapped to a thick knee pad.

Embiid was out for his rookie season and played on and off after that. His knee was his worst enemy.

Based on this injury history, the 76ers treated him more cautiously than the Nets treated Kobe. Embiid only played one of the first three games in the first round.

But Embiid's competitive spirit sometimes makes him choose not to accept the team's rules.

Playing against the Nets, and it was the first game, was obviously when he was most competitive.

Embiid's midfield and Jokic's jump ball.

After Jokic's strength has improved to a higher level this season, there are only a handful of insiders in the league who can fight against him.

Well, Embiid is one of them.

"Toot!"

With a whistle on the sidelines, Embiid's long arm slid the ball back to the 76ers' half court, giving the visiting team the opportunity to take the lead in attacking!

The 76ers' opening tactics were very clear, and Embiid played directly in the post to catch the ball in the low post.

As a traditional insider, his low-post skills are ranked among the top big men in the active league.

However, the Nets didn't give him a chance to show his talent at all, so Lin Ying directly attacked him.

Embiid looked behind Lin Ying, where Durant's help-defense rotation had quickly completed his replacement for the bottom corner Saric.

He turned his head to look again, the familiar scene in front of him, Simmons was emptied at the top of the arc!

This is too real.

Embiid didn't have much advantage in playing Jokic, and he definitely wouldn't be able to play with Lin Ying, so he decisively gave the ball to Simmons.

And after scoring the ball, he immediately pointed to the basket to signal Simmons to shoot.

This is an excellent opportunity. The open front of Simmons is like an East African savannah.

But Simmons didn't vote!

To be more precise, it should be that he didn't dare to vote!

This is indeed very strange, including Embiid's eyes widened all at once.

"Put it!"

He felt that maybe his expression was not clear enough, so he shouted out.

However, Simmons still did not vote!

Fans once ridiculed Rondo as "Long doesn't shoot" and "Long refused to shoot" because he didn't shoot three-pointers.

But anyway, Rondo will be able to shoot, but many times he feels that he is not very sure and does not choose to shoot.

But obviously, there is a big difference between Simmons and Rondo, because he didn't look at the frame after he got the ball!

Even if Embiid signaled continuously, he only took a symbolic look behind the rim and then drove in with the ball.

This scene was absolutely incredible, and Embiid was stunned.

In his consciousness, social media is hyping the fact that you don't dare to shoot, and the Knicks fans at the scene are also madly ridiculing that you can't shoot!

It's a man, he must have started immediately at this time.

If you don't shoot, it's another matter, at least you need to shoot the ball!

But Simmons' choice really refreshed his understanding.

Now he even unconsciously came up with a sentence in his mind: If you don't plan to vote, what was the previous training for?

He had too much incomprehension, but he didn't have time to digest it. After seeing that there was no good passing opportunity, Simmons rushed in directly towards the inside.

Embiid really has a word in his heart now, because he hasn't come out from the inside, if Simmons rushes in like this, it will be crowded.

This is indeed the case. After Simmons hit the inside line, the basket became crowded instantly. His last shot was interfered by the big hands of Lin Ying and Jokic. Although he barely avoided the block with his physical talent, the ball was directly a three-no. dip.

The audience burst into laughter instantly.

New York fans never know what politeness is. Simmons's behavior of attacking the inside line is a tough guy at other times, but now in their eyes, it is simply the most cowardly behavior in the world.

Because he was really like what the fans said on social media, he didn't even dare to shoot!

At this time, Jay.chou is about to go online again, and the song "What a Man" is coming.

Simmons frowned slightly, but didn't seem to be too affected, and quickly retreated to the backcourt.

On the contrary, Embiid felt that his mentality had been blown up a bit. After retreating, he kept staring at Simmons, as if he wanted to get some explanation from him.

But soon, his emotions were replaced.

Because Simmons directly completed the steal when defending Bradley!

Compared to offense, defense is Simmons' specialty!

Simmons moved forward quickly after stealing, and the speed at which he ran out of his size was easily reminiscent of one: James!

"Bang!"

Simmons slammed the ball into the basket with a two-handed dunk after a fast break to the frontcourt!

After the successful dunk, he roared excitedly, venting all the backlogged emotions.

At this moment, he saved some face for himself.

Embiid also took the initiative to give Simmons a high five when he returned to the backcourt.

Maybe, maybe, it was just an accident?

Yes, it must be an accident!

Simmons was probably not mentally prepared.

"If the perimeter is empty, I will shoot when I have a chance, and I will win the rebound."

So Embiid said to Simmons after the high five.

Simmons glanced at Embiid with wide eyes, then nodded.

In the Nets' offense, Lin Ying went to the front court and directly reached out to the top of the arc to get the ball.

The 76ers are a young team, and young teams rely on momentum to play. If the 76ers play with momentum, the game will be difficult to say.

Don't underestimate this team, it really opened them up. The Nets might not be able to play so easily.

Especially the first game, if you can't suppress it, the tone of the entire series will become different.

So he had to stand up early tonight.

The man who defended him was Saric.

Saric is a space insider, and his defense is at best the league average, which is also a good breakthrough.

Of course, the 76ers obviously know this, so Covington on the weak side is ready to help at any time.

Lin Ying put on a three-threat pose. After a break-through fake, she pulled up from the three-point line and shot directly!

Compared to Simmons' indecision, Lin Ying's choice can only be described in one idiom: neat and tidy!

"Shh!"

With a clear sound of entering the net, Lin Ying showed his excellent state, and the opening hand started to fall!

The scene burst into bursts of cheers from the fans.

After seeing the ball scored, Lin Ying couldn't help showing a smile on his face. It seemed that he had a good perimeter touch tonight.

Lin Ying is happy about this, but the fans at the scene are not only happy about this.

There is a point that has been overlooked. In terms of body size, Simmons and Lin Ying are relatively close.

It's just that one of the two is a forward and the other is a point guard.

Originally, everyone played in different positions, so there was no comparison.

But unfortunately, Simmons, who played the point guard, didn't dare to shoot a three-pointer. He played as a forward. Even at this time, Lin Ying, who should be a power forward more accurately, not only dared to shoot, but also shot with a knife.

As the old saying goes, the most fearful thing in this world is comparison!

Of course, for the Nets fans at the scene, this comparison makes them so happy!

2 to 3.

Both teams scored a goal in the opening game.

Originally, Simmons' dunk saved face for himself, but also boosted the momentum of the 76ers.

But Lin Ying's three-pointer obviously pushed it back.

And the Nets fans got emotional very quickly.

"Defense! Defend!"

By the time the 76ers advanced to the frontcourt, the fans had already started to cheer for the Nets in unison.

The 76ers still play the same way, except that this time Simmons ran directly from the top of the arc to Redick's pick-and-roll.

Embiid was stunned when he saw this with the ball.

Although theoretically speaking, it is a wise choice to make use of strengths and avoid weaknesses, but the previous sentence couldn't help but pop up in his mind:

So, what was the purpose of the previous three-point training?

It seems that there is another problem in the world.

Redick's movement is beautiful, but Bradley's perimeter is even more beautiful.

The Nets let Embiid go alone, but a shooter like Redick would definitely not let go.

Embiid can only choose to attack, but he almost lost the ball in the pinch.

But fortunately, he saw Simmons who cut in after the pick-and-roll.

Compared with the same attack on the inside line before, Simmons' choice this time is obviously much correct, and it can even be said to be beautiful.

However, Embiid's pass failed to pass, and Lin Ying seized the opportunity to complete the steal.

The Nets quickly played a fast break, and Bradley made up for it. During the fast break, he received a pass from Lin Ying and scored a dunk.

The scene was filled with cheers from fans again.

So the current situation on the court is that ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Embiid has no chance at all in the low post, as long as he catches the ball, he will be pinched.

And the Nets dared to do this, or the reason why Lu would do it, was naturally based on the experience of the Bucks playing the 76ers in the first round.

Since there are ready-made teachings here, why should we develop one by ourselves?

Lu is not stubborn, on the contrary he is very flexible.

When Embiid catches the ball again, it's still as uncomfortable as before.

This time, he didn't care about life or death, and turned around to the bottom line.

But the flanking attack of Jokic and Lin Ying made it difficult for him to make his shot easily. He finally turned around and shot to the bottom line and hit the edge of the basket and went out of bounds.

Simmons didn't shoot from the top of the arc, Embiid rebounded from the bottom line, and the game seemed to be developing towards entertainment.

At this time, on the bench of the 76ers, Spurs coach Brett Brown had already reached out and frowned.

In fact, it wasn't just Embiid who was "feinted" by Simmons, he was the same.

Originally, he suffered such a big loss in the first round. He also knows Lu's coaching characteristics. There is a high probability that Simmons will directly play power forward.

However, after watching Simmons' hard three-point training, he still decided to give him a chance.

But now, the exact same words that Embiid had in his mind ran through his mind:

So, what was the purpose of the previous three-point training?
