Reverse Growth Superstar

Ben Simmons's outstanding performance after the opening gave the Philadelphia fans great confidence.

The 76ers rank sixth in the league in defensive efficiency and are one of the league's best defensive teams.

And Ben Simmons undoubtedly played a very crucial role in it.

This season Simmons is basically a defender, he can directly lock the opponent's offense from the source.

After the tomahawk slash, Simmons glanced down the field as if he was looking at someone.

Sure enough, Jenna was really on the sidelines.

Link curled his lips. It seemed that Simmons would be very excited too, and he had to find a way to stop him.

So the next attack, the Grizzlies did not continue to use Conley to hold the ball to organize the offense.

The one who pushed with the ball became Link.

For most teams with only one organizational core, Simmons' defense can directly choke their offensive source.

But the Grizzlies have always been a multi-organized core team, from Conley to Link to Gasol, they can organize offenses.

On the sidelines, the 76ers coach Brett Brown pouted, and he deserves to be the defending champion and the founder of two dynasties. The Grizzlies players know to adjust without any coach reminders.

Conley suffered just one round, and the Grizzlies changed their ball holders, and they were very resilient.

Link faced Tobias Harris' defense, calm and composed.

Harris is also an excellent defensive player, but facing Link one-on-one, he still suffers somewhat.

Link directed the offense from beyond the three-point line. He didn't play crazy singles as soon as he came up, but tried to connect the opposition like a real point guard.

Just when Embiid was still staring at Link intently, ready to help defend.

Gasol suddenly leaned against Embiid with his back and asked for the ball!

Link didn't hesitate, and immediately dropped the ball inside.

As a backup center for the Grizzlies, Gasol actually got the ball early!

"Damn, you don't really think you can solve me easily, do you?" Embiid was a little angry. He is also the league's top center anyway. Gasol is going to fight as soon as he wants to fight?

Embiid tried his best to defend Gasol, he was about to make the Spaniard unable to eat.

Let them look down on their fate!

Gasol took a step backward, and Embiid, who had weaker lower limbs, was knocked back again and again.

The more so, the harder Embiid wants to withstand the impact and keep Gasol from getting close to the basket.

As a result, when Link cut out from Gasol, his weight was thrown forward, he had no time to adjust his pace to help defend the basket!

He was completely nailed to the middle distance by Gasol.

Embiid was still praying, praying that Gasol would not see Link who cut into the penalty area.

Unfortunately, not only is Gasol's weakness, but rather his strength.

In this way, Link easily received the basketball and went straight to the basket.

Embiid, who was originally responsible for wiping Harris' ass, missed the best time to make up his defense because he was busy competing with Gasol.

After two strides, Link jumped high, ready to attack the basket.

But at this time, Ben Simmons slashed and killed him.

Although Simmons is not a very good blocker, after all, his height and wingspan are right there, so his ability to empty is quite good.

In the air, Link stared at the basket, while Simmons slammed his arm.

This time Simmons' defense was very sudden, and even if Link reacted, it was impossible to find a teammate in the empty position in the first place.

However, just as Simmons' palm was about to seal the basketball, Link suddenly took the ball back to his waist, and then passed it from behind!

Throughout the process, Link's eyes were staring at the basket from start to finish, and he didn't move a bit. But the basketball flew precisely like Conley, who was emptied outside the three-point line diagonally behind.

"This!?" Simmons was shocked.

The media and fans praised their passing vision.

Little did he know that Link was more perverted, he didn't need vision at all to pass the ball!

Staring at the basket all the way, just a random pass, the ball was accurately given to the teammates.

This kind of pass that looks like Steve Nash, which many guards can't do.

When it comes to omnipotence, no one can really compare with Link.

Conley received the basketball and made a steady shot.

When it comes to Conley, people will never equate him with the label "three-point shooter".

Indeed, Conley is not a point guard who relies particularly on three-pointers, but his win rate is very stable.

So far in his career, Conley has maintained a very good three-point shooting per season.

"brush!"

Ben Simmons was crying, what a wonderful thing to be able to shoot three pointers...

"In, a breakthrough point from Link. Although Link does not often appear in the first position, I can guarantee that once he starts to organize an offense, his organizational ability will never be worse than any point guard in the league. , Including Simmons!"

Kevin Harlan shook his head, although Simmons eventually missed the ball. But in fact, the problem lies with Embiid.

If Embiid doesn't compete with Gasol that much, he can defend Link in time as tactically.

On the basketball court, the defense of a team is often closely linked.

A problem in one link will cause a series of chain reactions.

Unfortunately, it was Simmons who was behind this time.

After Linking assisted Conley to score, he kept shaking his head, as if to say: "The sixth defense in the league is nothing but that."

"Joel, concentrate, your target is not Marc Gasol, it is Link!" On the sidelines, the 76ers coach Brett Brown also yelled at Embiid, expressing his concern for the defense just now. Dissatisfaction.

Embiid was so angry that he wanted to start acting, but now he was beaten down by Link. He was really unwilling.

He just wants to get back to the spot as soon as possible.

On the subsequent attack, the 76ers' ball holding point changed, from Simmons to Richardson.

At this time, Simmons stood in the low position instead, Harris and Richardson played the pick and roll, Horford stood at the bottom corner, and Embiid stood at the top of the arc.

At first glance, Simmons, standing in the low post, looks more like a center.

This season, Embiid is more of a space-based play.

It can be said that his tactical role is an evolved version of Horford.

Although Embiid can shoot three-pointers, his favorite is still low singles.

Therefore, Embiid's scoring average dropped sharply this season, and he played a little frustrated.

When he thought about being taken advantage of by Link, Embiid slapped his thigh.

Only do it!

The ruthless words have been released before the game, how can I be counseled now.

As a result, Embiid, who should have been standing outside the three-point line to open space, suddenly sank inside and asked for the ball with his back.

Link found that Ben Simmons's expression was a little surprised, and that was right. This shows that Embiid has started to play out of routine.

So willful in the NBA arena, sooner or later, things will come out.

Richardson, who was in possession of the ball, was also taken aback. Embiid's running tactics are not there! ?

But seeing Embiid so positive, he still passed the ball in.

"The backup center can handle me, what are you kidding me?" Embiid muttered to himself in his heart, and then took a seat back.

"Boom!" The loud noise after the two collided reminded everyone that Embiid's force was not light.

But what is strange is that after such a fierce collision, the distance that the "Great Emperor" advances is almost negligible.

He is completely in situ!

Embarrassed, extremely embarrassed.

Embiid felt that his sweat was dripping out, but he was not tired, but embarrassing.

Just when Embiid hadn't reacted, Gasol changed top defense to close defense and forced Embiid to close the ball with both hands.

In this way, Embiid was forced to stop. The No. 1 center in the East, the first time he played against the Grizzlies' backup center on the offensive end, fell into a hard fight!

Seeing Embiid's offensive failure, the rest of the 76ers immediately began to run, ready to respond.

But unfortunately, Embiid is not an excellent passer, and his support pass is very eye-catching. In this situation, he was unable to deliver the ball to his teammates in time like Gasol or Jokic did.

Embiid was a little panicked. Just when he was still hesitating, Link doubled up, took a hard shot at the right time, and cut off the basketball in Embiid's hand.

"A mistake. Joel Embiid made a mistake in his first singles with the ball today! It seems that Link really didn't lie. Gasol's defense this time is perfect!"

While Kevin Harlan was talking, Link, who completely intercepted a long backcourt pass, sent the ball to Jie Michael Green.

The latter easily smashed his hands and ate the cake successfully.

Embiid's mistake ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ caused the 76ers to be overtaken by the Grizzlies. Simmons' performance also stopped abruptly.

"Joel, calm down!" Brett Brown yelled again. He knew very well that the first offense and the other defense would fail because Embiid did not act according to tactics.

Embiid was already irritable, but was reprimanded by Old Brown, which added fuel to the fire.

But no way, he can't confront the coach face to face.

As a result, this guy could only swallow his anger, suffocating.

At this moment, Link shook his finger at Embiid who was oncoming, "I said, you can't even beat our backup center. How about it? I didn't speak big words?"

Link can see that although the game has only just started, Embiid is on the verge of running away.

That being the case, let him completely ignite!

Embiid was gnashing his teeth with anger. He didn't know that his emotions had been completely controlled by Link.
