The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 673: : The last gun was also misfired

Joel Embiid sits inside and can see that he is still very active.

Just like Becky Harmon commented, this guy is bloodthirsty, has a strong desire to win, and desires to break down all obstacles in front of him.

But Henson is right. The desire to win alone cannot solve all problems.

As soon as Embiid came to the low post, the 34th he hated appeared again. Yannis Antetokounmpo, this guy has become Embiid's nightmare today.

As long as this guy appears in front of Embiid, his offense will probably fail.

"Damn it!" Embiid gritted his teeth. His strong desire to win and the anger accumulated from the first quarter made him choose to defend against it.

As a result, this beloved superstar made a hook shot under the double defense of Lopez and Antetokounmpo.

Why doesn't he pass the ball? Because there is no passing route at all. Earlier, Embiid tried several passes when he was double-teamed, but none of them achieved very good results. Either it was a turnover or it was unable to form an assist.

To Ben Simmons who was emptied? Embiid couldn't pass even more because Simmons was standing at the basket. It's embarrassing to be completely empty by others outside the three-point line and still dare not make a shot. As a result, Simmons simply stopped going beyond the three-point line.

When Embiid was double-teamed, Simmons couldn't open the space. The only thing he could do was wait for Embiid to suddenly find himself standing at the basket, or grab offensive rebounds and steal the chicken.

Unfortunately, Simmons did not encounter either situation today. On the offensive end, he almost disappeared from the 76ers system. The 76ers' offense seems to have become a 4-on-5.

Embiid had to hook and shoot without a pass. But the result was the same as before. Embiid's shot was not transferred to score. Henson's containment of this super rookie was perfect!

"Once again, Joel Embiid missed a shot. Embiid's scoring efficiency is very low today. He has not scored four consecutive shots."

"The double misfires of Embiid and Simmons made the 76ers very disadvantaged offensively. Now, the game has reached the end of the third quarter, and the 76ers have gone from a 5 point lead at the beginning to 8 points behind. . Coach Brett Brown should solve their offensive problems if they still want to win the game."

The shot was given to Brett Brown, the silver-haired coach wrote all his anxiety on his face.

Embiid is also anxious, if his performance continues to be so bad, this may become his most humiliating game. After all, before the game began, he was clamoring to let the Pacers fall from the altar.

A few minutes later, the third quarter of the game officially ended. The 76ers entered the fourth quarter with a 9-point disadvantage. Since the second quarter, the 76ers have been suppressed.

Although the points difference has been hovering between double digits and single digits during this period, it has not been completely opened. But again, the 76ers have no way to keep the score close.

Brett Brown’s roar has never stopped this time during the intermission. He knows how important this game is to the team, and the team only completed a 40-point slaughter victory in the last game. If you lose today, you will undoubtedly lose morale.

"Jimmy, you must stand up!" Brett Brown yelled, his hand tightly squeezing the tactical board, as if it were his last straw.

"Now someone must stand up and score, this person can only be you! As long as you open up on the offensive end, other people will get a chance. Therefore, to increase your singles, I need you to use your personal ability to lead the team out of trouble! "

Jimmy Butler nodded silently without answering. He had known for a long time that the game with the Pacers could not be easily passed. Therefore, I have already prepared for a tough battle.

Jimmy Butler didn't want to live in Henson's shadow all his life, nor did he want to escape directly to another place like James.

He has to win once, even once!

Butler gritted his teeth, and then it's up to him!

"The fourth quarter is the same as I just said. George, you need to pay attention to Jimmy at all times. He is likely to attack suddenly."

On the other side, Henson asked the team to focus on Jimmy Butler.

"Boss, you said you should pay attention to him during the intermission, but the quarter he just passed was not the 76ers' main attack point." George spread his hands, he felt that Henson was a little nervous. Today, the 76ers have been eaten to death by them.

However, Henson did not relax his vigilance, but patted George on the shoulder.

"Trust me, George. Jimmy Butler will come to trouble you sooner or later, I just hope you won't be overwhelmed by that time."

Henson's expression is unquestionable. Butler, the boy, would not allow himself to fail easily in the Bankers' Life Arena.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Paul George noticed that the 76ers' offense was a little different. Embiid is no longer desperately in position, and Ben Simmons's possession time has been greatly reduced.

As long as the ball passes halftime, it basically gets to Jimmy Butler. Butler called Embiid to come up to cover after holding the ball, he wants to play singles!

"Is it finally here?" Henson smiled. He didn't expect Brett Brown to start singles for Butler so late.

If Henson coached the 76ers, he would have made Jimmy Butler catch up. However, maybe this is the gap between Henson and other coaches. Brett Brown also has illusions about other people, as everyone knows, their only hope is Jimmy Butler.

However, it is already a bit late for Butler to start singles mode.

"Hurry up after blocking, go, go!"

Butler yelled and passed the screen, signalling Embiid to cut in quickly and pass the assist. But Paul George was not deceived by Jimmy Butler's words. He stayed right in front of Butler from start to finish, and used two long arms to constantly interfere with Jimmy Butler.

George knows Jimmy Butler too well, the boy's eyes are now different from the previous three quarters. Henson was right, Jimmy would stand up sooner or later.

And George's task is to smash Butler's heroic dream.

Thus, Jimmy Butler's first shot in the fourth quarter was hit by George's interference.

In the past, Jimmy Butler often lost to George on the training ground. After all, there is indeed a difference in their physical conditions.

Now, Jimmy Butler thought that many things had changed. But some things seem to have never changed.

For example, he still struggles to score on the extremely focused George.

"The 76ers planned to use Jimmy Butler to break the situation as soon as the game opened, but their wish did not become a reality. Paul George's defense is very strong even for Jimmy Butler."

Reggie Miller looked at Brett Brown and then at Henson. He suddenly felt that the situation might be doomed in the first second of the game?

The guy Henson Joe must have arranged every step.

The 76ers got caught up in Jimmy Butler's solo singles, but the Pacers' offense was upbeat.

Antetokounmpo's breakthrough brought huge trouble to the 76ers' defense. The 76ers either chose to assist or defend the pass. However, no matter what the situation is, Antetokounmpo can solve it easily.

His pass is more deadly than Embiid, and the finisher is better than Simmons. This time, Antetokounmpo once again scored on Ben Simmons.

This high-profile champion is undoubtedly a good lesson today. The most potential striker? The title Simmons may have to be released. After all, Antetokounmpo is only 24 years old.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Pacers widened the points difference to double digits. For the 76ers, this is a huge disaster.

Even worse, Jimmy Butler's subsequent attacks were not very efficient. Henson had been reminding George to pay attention to Jimmy Butler all day, occasionally nagging repeatedly, but made George very serious when facing Jimmy Butler.

Moreover, with Antetokounmpo, George can also focus all his attention on the defensive end. attack? Just leave it to the "Greek monster".

So, for Brett Brown, something desperate happened-the three stars of the 76ers were all locked by Henson! Brett Brown’s last artillery also officially declared a misfire!

Under this immature system, Brett Brown cannot expect role players to kill the game. Those three stars are his capital for winning.

What Henson has been doing is to weaken his capital. Until now, the 76ers have become irresistible!

"From the beginning, did you arrange everything?" In the middle of the fourth quarter, the difference between the two sides has hovered around 15 points. Jimmy Butler is still working hard, but under George's defense, his hard work is difficult to transfer to score.

As a result, Becky Harmon finally had the opportunity to chat with Henson.

"I'm not a God or a prophet. I can't arrange everything in advance. But I have a video of the game, so I can find the opponent's weakness in advance. Remember, Becky. It's best to grasp the opponent's weakness and enlarge it. The law of victory."

Henson smiled, resting his hands under his head easily. The match that made him nervous for half a month finally ended. With Butler, Embiid and Simmons all misfired, the 76ers are unlikely to come back.

No, the game is not over yet, the most exciting part of this duel has not yet arrived.

Henson can't wait to see, Joel Embiid's expression of love after the game is over.

He believes that Embiid's expression will definitely be the most exciting picture of today's game.
