During the pause.
Rivers loudly instructs his players from the sidelines, his voice full of passion and determination.
He constantly emphasized the rhythm of the game and the importance of defense.
At the same time, he did not forget to encourage the players to maintain confidence.
When play resumed, Rivers was in the starting lineup.
These players showed even better performance on the court.
The cooperation between them is more tacit and the defense is tighter.
The Nets replaced Durant and let Bai Qiang rest.
In the first half, as long as the point difference is not widened too much.
After all, the second half is the moment that determines the outcome!
As the referee's whistle sounded, the game continued.
"Ben, fight faster!"
Rivers yelled from the sideline.
The team is currently in a backward stage, so playing fast is the right way to go.
Simmons looked up at the coach and nodded slightly.
He must show his strength and help the team overtake the score.
He takes the ball quickly and advances.
His feet were quick, moving across the court like the wind.
He came to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Embiid.
Embiid catches the ball.
Claxton moved up to defend.
Embiid decisively chose a post-up play.
Claxton's thin body is in sharp contrast to the Emperor.
Vaughn signaled his players on the sidelines not to hesitate when it’s time to double-team.
Durant would help defend from time to time and interfere with Embiid.
"Bang~"
In the final blow, Embiid used all his strength to knock Claxton away.
Then he took a big step forward and dunked with one hand!
After dunking the ball in, he did not return to defense honestly.
He stood under the basket, wagging his finger, provoking Claxton.
He also muttered: "Crabs don't have meat, can they be tougher?"
Claxton was not one to be afraid of trouble, so he clenched his fists and just went up.
"Fuck you, man!"
Embiid and Claxton collided, looking like they were about to fight.
The situation on the field suddenly became tense.
The referee also discovered the conflict here and hurried over.
Simmons, Harris and other teammates also stepped forward and pulled the two away.
"You two calm down!"
"The game is not over yet, don't make mistakes out of anger."
Under the persuasion of their teammates, Embiid and Claxton gradually calmed down.
After reviewing the video, the referee determined that Embiid committed a technical foul.
After this conflict, the situation on the field became more tense.
The game continues.
Coach Rivers did not take Embiid off the court, but let him continue to play.
Vaughan replaced Bai Qiang.
Only Bai Qiang can defeat Embiid.
The Nets attack.
"Bang bang bang~"
Durant advanced to the frontcourt and faced Harris' defense.
He started instantly, like a sports car running at full speed.
Harris was pushed backwards and almost fell.
Durant showed no intention of slowing down and continued to rush forward.
Harris was knocked to pieces, and his steps were a little unsteady.
Durant accelerated to the basket and took off directly!
He is like a roc bird, spreading its wings and flying.
Grab the basket with both hands and dunk directly!
"Wow~"
The audience at the scene exclaimed.
"Kevin, great job!"
"Death returns!"
"Kevin, dunk the rim!"
After the serious injury, Durant is still so crazy!
The 76ers offense.
Simmons dribbled to the frontcourt and passed to Harris.
Embiid takes position inside.
He wants to train all the centers of the Nets.
Harris dropped the ball.
Bai Qiang faced off against Embiid, and he was not afraid of the Emperor's post-up play.
The white Great Wall that towers over the sky was not built.
"Tum~"
"Tum~"
Embiid played a post-up game and encountered Bai Qiang's tough defense.
With top defense, he couldn't get in at all.
Embiid passed the ball to Seth on the outside.
Brown presses close.
Seth changed directions left and right, trying to find a rhythm to break through.
"5,4..."
It was almost 24 seconds, and Seth still couldn't find a chance.
He chose to force the shot.
"Snapped!"
Before the basketball was thrown, Brown pushed it back.
"Beep! 24-second violation! Ball transition."
The Nets attack.
Harden quickly attacks with the ball.
Taking advantage of the opponent's low morale, he opened the score in one fell swoop.
Harden lowered his center of gravity and beat Simmons in isolation.
Simmons, his offense is not good, but his defense is top notch!
Facing Harden's ghostly dribbling, Simmons didn't faze at all.
He blocked Harden's offensive line and didn't give him a chance.
Bai Qiang came over to answer.
Harden gave the ball to Bai Qiang.
After Bai Qiang caught the ball, he rushed forward.
Bai Qiang came down the mountain like a fierce tiger, with momentum like a rainbow!
His breakthrough rhythm is very fast, and he rushes to the basket almost instantly.
Standing under the basket is 76ers center Embiid.
Bai Qiang was not afraid at all, he rushed in with Embiid on his back.
Will Embiid show weakness?
He immediately went on defense.
"boom!"
The two collided under the basket.
Bai Qiang was not afraid of the Emperor's power at all. He was like a heavy tank, knocking Embiid away!
Dunk!
At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded.
"Beep! Blocking foul."
Embiid stood up and protested to the referee.
"I obviously got the ball in position first. Is it a foul if he hits me?"
"The verdict is upheld."
After that, the referee signaled Bai Qiang to prepare for a free throw.
"You don't even know what kind of person he is. He is a savage charging player who needs to use a head-on approach to defend."
"You, a weak center, will definitely not be able to withstand his impact."
"So there's nothing wrong with the ball."
"Go back to Philadelphia now!"
The audience roared with criticism against Embiid.
Dare to make a mistake in the Barclays Center Arena, life is impatient.
Bai Qiang's free throw was a solid hit.
The 76ers offense.
Embiid takes position inside.
Don’t lose face!
He also learned to be smart this time and no longer had a tough confrontation with Bai.
He shows off his actions online.
Dribbling the ball under his crotch, mobilizing Bai Qiang's footsteps.
Move forward in small steps, the signature European step!
Bai Qiang saw the right moment and fell down when Embiid's elbow came.
"boom!"
It was hit, but it didn’t cause him to fall!
And Bai Qiang,
Pretending!
He has to constantly cause Embiid to foul and prevent him from playing the game.
Obviously, Bai Qiang did it!
"Beep!"
The referee was deceived by Bai Qiang's superb acting skills.
He blew the whistle again,
"Offensive foul!"
Embiid quit and rushed towards the referee like a crazy beast.
Rivers yelled from the sidelines:
"Stop Joe, stop him!"
Simmons and Harris rushed to stop Embiid.
"Jo!"
"Don't go up!"
"Hey, man! Come on, come on, the game is on!"
Other teammates quickly hugged Embiid.
He has already received a technical foul,
If he hits it again, he won’t have to play the next game.
They hugged him tightly to prevent him from charging any further.
The game enters a pause phase.
Rivers applied for the challenge:
He wants to protect the core players.
After all, whether the team can move forward depends on how Embiid plays.
