Reverse Growth Superstar

While the players on both sides were still warming up, ESPN gave Link and Embiid split-screen shots more than once.

Although the two are not directly facing each other today, they are the real hot spots of the whole game.

"I bet that if Link and Embiid are each given a boxing glove now and let them fight on the court. Then the fans will not look forward to the next match."

Kevin Harlan looked at serious Link and Embiid and joked.

It can be seen that due to the mutual squirting between Embiid and Link, the overall relationship between the two parties today is relatively tense.

Although the 76ers still have two former Grizzlies players, this can't ease the smell of gunpowder in this game.

Tobias Harris and Josh Richardson both greeted the Grizzlies kindly before the game, and talked with Link for a long time, but they are now Philadelphia 76ers after all. One member.

No matter how brilliant they have achieved in Memphis, no matter how sympathetic they are to Link, now their **** can't be tilted towards the Grizzlies.

As a professional player, the most basic quality is to help his team win.

In addition, Harris and Richardson are not very influential in the 76ers' locker room, so naturally they cannot change the fact that the game is strong.

Before the start of the game, Stephen loves to do things. A. Smith also specially interviewed the big-mouthed "The Great" and asked him if he was ready to confront Marc Gasol.

In this regard, Embiid was extremely disdainful.

"Marc Gasol used to be one of the best centers in the league. Well, it used to be. I will do my best today to help the team find an advantage inside. Those nonsense that Link said are just self-comforting."

It can be seen that Embiid is very confident about today's match with Gasol. His target is Jokic, who is known as the No. 1 center in the West, not an outdated old center.

This season, Gasol has transformed from a star player to a role player.

Jokic's outstanding performance in the starting position, and even Howard's Nirvana rebirth in the Grizzlies, have caused Gasol's attention repeatedly to decline.

Faced with a player who is rarely mentioned by people, Embiid is naturally a little erratic.

Embiid's arrogant attitude undoubtedly makes the Grizzlies fans very upset. Of course, at the same time, Philadelphia fans are extremely excited.

This sideline interview completely broke out the heat of the game and the smell of gunpowder on both sides.

Soon, the starting players from both sides stepped onto the court to face off.

All fans in the Wachovia Center Arena stood up. This is the first time the 76ers have played against the Grizzlies this season. In the past, they were unable to fight the Grizzlies and could only watch the league's dominant team crush the 76ers again and again.

But now, they can finally wrestle with the greatest team of this era. As we know, this game bears the expectations of Philadelphia fans.

Link looked at the five people standing opposite him, and suddenly felt oppressed.

Not because of how strong they are, but because the Philadelphia lineup is really too high!

Point guard Ben Simmons is 2.08 meters tall, two centimeters taller than the "Magic" of the year.

Embiid and Horford are the double centers, not to mention the height.

The two shortest starting players in the 76ers are Richardson and Harris, two old Grizzlies.

But considering their heights are also 1.98 meters and 2.06 meters respectively, Philadelphia really has an absolute advantage in height.

Really. Five deaths.

The 76ers may be the first team in the NBA to truly fulfill Pat Riley's prediction of the future of basketball.

In this era when the whole world is playing small lineups, in this era when the 2.01 meter Green is in the fifth position, the 76ers do mean some swords are slanting forward.

Embiid stepped into the middle circle and confronted Marc Gasol.

Gasol replaced the injured Jokic in the last game and was temporarily put on the starter, but he did not show a good state.

This is also Embiid's greatest source of confidence.

He is the number one center in the Eastern Conference anyhow, and it is impossible to beat the Grizzlies' backup center!

He was going to make Link feel embarrassed that he had said something today.

The referee threw the ball up, Embiid surpassed Gasol by an overwhelming advantage and got the basketball.

The tofu bounces high, which seems to be the tradition of the Grizzlies center...

After Embiid won the basketball, Ben and Simmons slowly moved forward with the ball.

Link opened his arms to lead the defense. Although Simmons was a point guard, if Conley were to match him, it would undoubtedly be a disaster.

After all, Simmons really has the power of a power forward.

As soon as Simmons approached Link, Embiid's cover came up.

Since Simmons has no long-range shooting ability, the 76ers' offense is basically initiated by the pick and roll.

Link walked around directly behind Embiid, intending to block Simmons' breakthrough directly.

He did succeed. Without shooting ability, he could easily be targeted by the opponent.

But Simmons is not a player known for his high scores. What he is really talked about by people is his versatility.

Just when Link was about to block Ben Simmons, the 16-year champion suddenly threw the ball off Link's head.

Simmons' overall view, coupled with his height, allows him to always send the ball where he wants to.

Link immediately turned back, and indeed, Tobias Harris, who cut into the basket, received the ball.

Because Horford and Embiid both have shooting abilities, the basket was already empty.

Harris has an absolute advantage against Dillon Brooks, who is in the second position and has a shorter arm span than his height!

After receiving the ball, he took two strides and made a strong layup. This group of matchups seemed to be misplaced, leaving Brooks helpless.

Harris scored easily and did not give his old club face, and the cheers in the Wachovia Center Arena were higher than the waves.

This is the Philadelphia 76ers now, and this is why they are among the best in the East.

The 76ers are more likely to find dislocation opportunities than any other team.

The top five deaths of them are indeed very oppressive.

"The 76ers take the lead. Look at the atmosphere on the scene. It's really warm! Wachovia Center is a veritable home of the devil. A statistic that many people have not paid attention to is that the 76ers have only lost at home this season. A game! Even the Grizzlies have lost twice at home this season."

Kevin Harlan is not surprised by the 76ers' performance, their home win rate is really scary.

Link touched the wristband his daughter gave him, and then greeted everyone to press forward.

This is the basketball game, each team has its own advantages.

Sometimes, you can't even contain the opponent's advantage.

The height of the 76ers, this is their advantage, and the Grizzlies are really difficult to solve.

By changing defense? All five of them are tall, and the problem cannot be solved by changing defenses.

It's impossible to force the rest of the Grizzlies to lengthen...

Therefore, what the Grizzlies must do now is not to struggle with their own disadvantages, but to use their own advantages to attack each other.

In this attack, Link thought it would be Simmons who would be facing him.

However, when he got close to the three-point line, he realized that it was former teammate Harris who defended him.

Simmons stood at 2.08 meters tall and really defended in front of Conley!

Simmons's defensive ability is well known, and he is similar to Link, James and others, and can actually defend from the first position to the fifth position.

Of course, he was a bit worse than Artest in the audience.

Moreover, Simmons is also a well-known defensive champion in the league. As a player with the height of a power forward, he averaged 2.1 steals per game this season, more than many short point guards. This shows Simmons's defensive judgment.

It stands to reason that the strongest defensive player should be used to defend the opponent's strongest offensive player.

But the 76ers are not. This season, Simmons has spent most of his time defending the opponent's number one player.

As for why? Conley knows it now.

When a player of power forward size opened his arms in front of Conley, he couldn't see anything at all!

And Simmons's long arms greatly restricted Conley's passing route.

The 76ers' advantages in size and height are not only reflected on the offensive end.

Conley swallowed, he wanted to hand the ball to Link quickly. However, Simmons seemed to see through Conley's mind, and quickly posted it, interrupting Conley's action.

Conley was completely blinded. No matter how good Link is, what's the point of not catching basketball?

Besides, Harris' defense itself is not bad. Even if Link gets the ball today, it is impossible to attack as he pleases.

Link was about to pick up Conley, but before Link was in place, Simmons grabbed Conley's basketball forcibly in the confrontation.

Afterwards, Simmons took advantage of the trend to break fast, and he ran fast.

Link estimates ~www.wuxiaspot.com~Kendall Jenner is also here today.

In front of his girlfriend, Simmons is always full of energy.

In the end, Simmons ended the offense with a heavy tomahawk slash.

Although Link tried his best to catch up, but the two sides were too far apart from the beginning, so even Link could hardly catch up.

4 to 0, the 76ers had a clean start. Today’s trouble is far more than just Embiid.

Embiid laughed, and rushed to touch Simmons' head.

Sure enough, the current 76ers are absolutely worthy of defending the championship!

In fact, if it weren't for Leonard to complete the final moments of the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, God knows if he played against the Grizzlies in the finals would be the 76ers.

The 76ers opened the game with momentum, which also gave Embiid great confidence.

Next, it's time for him to perform.
