Chapter 851 From lion slayer to big talker

The Celtics were beaten by the 76ers to a 29-21 start.

The Phillies were happy, but the Celtics were not discouraged.

After adjustments in the first half, Joel Embiid returned to the field in the second quarter.

Without Cousins ​​competing with him everywhere, and without the deliberate targeting of the first player in the league, Embiid came alive in the game.

Wei Xia finally had the opportunity to see what this rude young man has.

Embiid looks big, because he has been recuperating for a year and has a height of 218 cm, he looks bigger than anyone else.

Three seconds of defense and joint defense have killed traditional centers. The character players' shooting skills have made rapid progress, and the importance of preventing pick-and-roll has been greatly improved. They have also killed traditional centers who like to squat and protect the basket. Today's era is not very friendly to Embiid, but he is too comprehensive and solid, and can adapt to the rules of any era, and naturally he can gain a foothold in the contemporary world.

Embiid's confidence was played against the inside combination of Ryan Hollins and Farid.

He has many tricks: breaking through in front of the basket, fixed three-pointers, big dreams on the back of the oil pipe school, the rare touch of the big man, the weird flexibility of the height, etc. So his offensive end is diverse and beautiful, just like an inside offensive kaleidoscope.

Hollins was completely unprepared for him.

Since Embiid exuded his anger on Hollins and others, Wei Xia off the field was a little worried about what Hollins did to Embiid, after all, this was not a good thing.

Embiid's glass attributes are well known, and Hollins's Philadelphia Ranbill's reputation is as far away.

With the help of his teammates, Embiid made continuous wonderful attacks.

Hollins didn't mean to be a shady person

The 76ers score was approached, and Hayward, the core of the field, decided to do something to control the situation.

The existence of Weisha and Cousins ​​has made Hayward continue to be underestimated, and his two rings have also depreciated.

After all, even Scotty Pipen, the greatest second in history, was looked down upon by O'Neill, Isia Thomas and others, let alone a third in charge?

The 76ers' ball was transferred to Hayward's hand.

He walked two steps away from the three-point line, looked at the position of the basket, and started shooting.

"Swish!"

This three-pointer brought the score difference back to 6 points.

"A shit, come on, a shit!" Cousins ​​cheered.

In the next period, Evan Turner, the second-tier player who was in the same class as Cousins ​​and Hayward, led the Celtics' offense.

Seeing that six years have passed, the 2010 players have already passed their rookie contracts. They are known as the Gilded Generation and have also produced a lot of talents, but this does not include Turner, who is considered to be a superstar, and it is easy to become an All-Star.

In six years, Turner has changed three teams.

Today I saw Hayward of the same class not only had two rings in his hand, but also had a pride in his youth. Anger arises from his heart and he is eager to prove his strength.

Turner scored one after another.

The most critical goal was his connection with Embiid.

Turner dribbled to the right, Embiid asked for the ball in the middle and no one passed it, so he took the initiative to go down.

Although Hollins was still in front of him, he just didn't take his opponent seriously. Moreover, unlike others who were afraid of Hollins' reputation, they actually jumped in front of the other party.

Embiid worked so hard that even if Turner lit up his solo medal, he had to use his pass to praise him.

The fans at the scene watched Embiid crush Hollins directly with his figure, grabbing the ball and dunking.

This scene is destined to be included in the top five of today's top ten goals.

44 to 43

Five minutes passed, the Celtics took the lead, and the 76ers called for a timeout.

Wright could no longer sit by and watch the players beating by the Celtics in this way, and exchanged them for the main lineup, demanding strength: "Give them a little color, especially the sophomore from Cameroon!"

There are not many newcomers who can leave an impression on Wright.

Embiid's comments off the court seemed like a joke to the coaching staff. What people have to pay attention to is his presence on the court, and both offense and defense are effective, and it is not like the performance that a freshman rookie should have in the second grade who is reimbursed for the season.

"The coach said he wanted to give the lion-slaying maniac a little color. Do you have any good ideas?" Wei Xia asked lightly.

Rondo has seen Embiid's characteristics: "He has a good defense, but he is not fast."

Embiid's footsteps are definitely not slow compared to the inside line of the same weight and height, but facing the 76ers who transferred the ball and caught up with the 14 Spurs, it is no problem to say that his defensive footsteps are slow.

There is a ruthless man beside Embiid who looks gentle but is not the case.

Rondo showed his art of passing as soon as he came on the court. Weisha threw away Bradley with Cousins' cover and accelerated to rush into the basket.

Embiid has another advantage.

His offense is very ornamental, but his defense cannot be judged by ornamentality.

Regarding the most flashy defenders in history, some people would say Marcus Camby, but if Weisha was asked, he would nominate early Chamberlain. It sounds incredible, but it is true. Chamberlain's early years were keen on defense that could ignite the court with unique visual effects but extraordinary actual effects.

It was not until the 76ers came that he began to devote himself to becoming the team's defender. Chamberlain was an overrated defender during the Warriors era. After that, Chamberlain was basically the first defender in history that Wei Xia had ever seen.

What about Embiid? He is 218 cm tall and has excellent athletic ability. With his activeness on Twitter, I think he is also a person who likes to please the audience. Is his defensive style the same?

Quite the opposite.

It is a good habit of permeating both ends of offense and defense and moving. He can simply move with his feet and deter the entire breakthrough route.

Wei Xia knew that he would come, and even more knew that he was very eager to block himself.

He smiled and grabbed the ball with his right hand as if he wanted to dunk Embiid.

Embiid had the intention to defend the basket, but Wei Xia grabbed the ball's right hand and after picking it up, she passed it from behind her neck to Hayward at the bottom corner.

Hayward, who has maintained a hot touch since the opening game, made a three-pointer.

Embiid cursed angrily: "You coward who dares not face difficulties!"

"Then you are still a thug who massacred endangered animals." Wei Xia said sarcastically.

Wei Xia was embiid's mentality when he came on the court, and the Celtics naturally hoped that their cornerstone of the team building could treat provocations with a calm attitude.

However, how can young people's mentality be so easy to stabilize?

Cousins ​​accidentally became the kind of person he hated the most.

Embiid attacked with a strong attack in the high position, but Cousins ​​was unstable, but he accidentally did the right thing.

Embiid knocked Cousins ​​down on one side. The former, who had not played in a rookie season, is now a rematch and is still a rookie. Therefore, the referee's verdict on him is severe. Moreover, this place is the base camp of the 76ers, so Cousins ​​cannot be knocked out for nothing.

The referee decisively called Embiid's offensive foul.

"I've had three fouls in 9 minutes of playing." Wei Xia came over with a gentle expression and pulled Cousins. "It seems that this thug who kills endangered animals may not take 20 minutes to be sent off, boge."

Embiid really wants to tell Wei Xia that the 9-year-old who killed the lion was his sensation online.

Who had never spoken out when he was young?

Kobe once said that he could win Dpoy as long as he wanted;

Kobe once said that he could win the assist king as long as he wanted;

Kobe once said that he could be as comprehensive as James but not necessary;

Uh...why are they all Kobe?

Because Kobe was the notorious sarcastic king when he was young, the difference between him and Embiid was that he was so bored that he could only talk nonsense online during his recovery period, but Kobe was not used to using Twitter, so all he said was about media reporters and was seen in newspapers.

Embiid never expected that his temporary sensation would bring him these stigmas. Wei Xia had completely regarded him as a demon who liked to slaughter lions, but in fact he had never touched a hair of a lion.

Embiid was very angry and wanted to refute and clarify the facts. He was worried that Wei Xia would catch the stalker and could only force him to hold on.

The price is that Wei Xia put nicknames such as the Lion Slayer and the Thug on him.

Even something that Embiid couldn't accept happened 15 seconds later.

Wei Xia held the ball from the outside and called a pick-and-roll, and deliberately pulled Embiid to fight alone.

"I will guard you, I will destroy you!" Embiid shouted loudly.

Wei Xia did not reply to his words, and started with a smile, stopped suddenly, and changed direction again. Embiid's figure and height made it difficult for him to respond to Wei Xia.

When Wei Xia suddenly retreated with one foot and retreated to the outside line with a large foot, he actually leaned down to defend, and he couldn't stabilize and fell down.

Wei Xia immediately made a three-pointer.

"Swish!"

"As of now, all your trash talks have been expressed in between words. I am not maliciously guessing your character, but I now have sufficient reason to suspect that you are a big talker." Wei Xia said with a smile, "So, the story of your 6-year-old swordsman's hand is very likely to be fake. Thank God, the lion is fine."
