The Basketball Court Swordsman

On November 9, 2016, the stands at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia were full. Countless media remembered that the reporter area was impenetrable, and the atmosphere on the scene had reached its peak before the game started.

The 76ers owner Joshua Harris is definitely the happiest person today, because whether his team loses or wins, the 76ers have already maximized their benefits.

In the past few years, the 76ers almost always lost money. At the worst time, the attendance rate of Phu Quoc Center Arena was only about 50%.

Anyone who has watched NBA live broadcasts knows that NBA games are usually unattended. But the 76ers game only has about 50% attendance, so you can easily imagine how empty the stands.

And the Phu Quoc Center Arena is as lively as it is today, Joshua Harris has not seen it for a long time. Although the game is not broadcast live across the United States, even if it is just the income from live tickets, Harris has been very satisfied.

What changed all of this was only the African rookie who had not played ten games in his third year in the league, Joel Embiid!

After Allen Iverson left, the Philadelphia team finally found another heartthrob.

If the team can defeat the controversial Pacers at home today, it would be better...

"Welcome to Philadelphia, we will bring you a live broadcast of the game at the Wells Fargo Center Arena! I believe everyone, like us, has been looking forward to this game for a long time. That's right, Joel Embiid and Henson Joe The scolding battle between them will be the winner today!" On the commentary stage, Kevin Harlan from eSPN has ignited the atmosphere of the scene.

Although this game is not a national live broadcast, eSPN still sent a luxurious cast of Kevin Harlan + Mike Brin. This shows how much eSPN attaches importance to this game.

"Challenging war? This description seems a little rigorous. After all, it is Embiid who has been talking about it all the time. Coach Henson, but he has not responded to a word. Unilateral insults are not a war of words." Mike Brin also spoke, and he corrected Kevin Harlan's statement.

"You are right, Mike. So what do you think Coach Henson did not respond to Embiid? Is it because of a guilty conscience? Or because the Pacers did not perform well in the last two games? ?"

"Even the best coach in the league can't guess what Henson is thinking, let alone me. But I think Coach Henson should be too lazy to care about Embiid. After all, the current Henson, It's very different from before." Mike Brin stared at the court expectantly, and Henson had taken the players out to warm up.

It doesn't matter if you don't reply to Embiid. Mike Brin believes that Henson will definitely respond to Embiid with his outstanding performance on the court!

That guy, but a "chicken belly" person. He never suffers from dumb loss, even if the person who suffers from him is only a young man born in 1994.

"Just watch the game, Kevin. Today, we just have to watch the game well..."

Henson led the players onto the hardwood floor of the Phu Quoc Center Arena with a serious expression.

The Pacers generals just came out, and there were overwhelming boos from the stands. It can be seen that the 76ers fans are very confident. After all, just 4 days ago, the 76ers had just defeated the Pacers at the Bankers Life Arena. At home today, Philadelphia fans believe they have no reason to fail.

Before Henson retired, every time he came to the Phu Quoc Center to play, it was lifeless. Let alone boos, even cheers are weak.

Because during that time, it was the darkest years in the history of the 76ers. They keep losing, and they lose their winning culture.

In the 12-13 season, the 76ers who lost Iguodala officially began to rebuild. They scored 34 wins and 48 losses that season, ranking ninth in the East and missed the playoffs.

In the 13-14 season, the 76ers began to "fight". After 82 games throughout the season, the 76ers only won 19 games. The league's record is worse than the 76ers, leaving only the Milwaukee Bucks.

In the 14-15 season, the 76ers "brilliance", the entire season only won 18 games, so bad that Philadelphia fans can not bear to look directly.

In the 15-16 season, the 76ers simply had a showdown. They tore off the last fig leaf and stopped covering it. In 82 games throughout the season, only 10 of them won! Not one of the worst in the league, the 76ers finally "topped."

After four years of slack, 76ers fans have long lost their passion for basketball.

But today, when Henson stepped into the Phu Quoc Center Arena again, he felt that the passion here was reheating.

Just as the Pacers players began to warm up, the boos stopped abruptly halfway through and turned into fierce cheers. Standing on the sidelines, Henson looked up, and sure enough, it was the 76ers players who entered the field!

"The players of the Philadelphia 76ers have been enthusiastically cheered by the fans! How long have we not seen the 76ers have been so much-anticipated? Joel Embiid has followed the team at the end of the game. He will not be today. There will be a rotation, and pre-game 76ers coach Brett Brown also said that he will appropriately increase Embiid's playing time today. It seems that they are planning to fight the Pacers to the end!"

Embiid easily followed at the end, not at all nervous because it was a high-profile duel. Some people are born with superstars. Joel Embiid is undoubtedly one of them.

After he walked on the court, he turned his head to look at Henson in the other half, and then smiled playfully. It seems that Embiid is here to lead the team to win today!

"I made you laugh..." Henson said to himself in his heart. After 48 minutes, he wanted to see if you could laugh.

Henson knows very well that the reason Embiid and the 76ers fans are so confident in this game is precisely because the Pacers did not play well in the previous two games.

In the previous game against the 76ers, the Pacers were wiped out by a three-point rain. Although Henson won the last game against the Hornets, it allowed the underdog to score 122 points.

But only Henson knew that the process of these two games was not at all regular.

In the 76ers game, that terrible three-pointer percentage naturally goes without saying. In the last game against the Hornets, the Hornets actually played a terrible performance of 8 people scoring double figures!

Kemba Walker 24 points, Gilchrist 13 points, Cody Zeller 13 points, Marvin Williams 12 points, Spencer Hawes 13 points, Belinelli 12 points, Cumming Ski 12 points, Sessions 10 points...

This kind of collective explosion and 8 players scored in double figures, even the Spurs with team offense as the main idea are difficult to achieve.

The collective outbreak of the Hornets is the reason they can score 122 points. And the Pacers can still suppress the situation and win even when the opponent collectively broke out, which just shows that they are in full swing!

Although the person Embiid scolded was Henson, this does not mean that the Pacers players are irrelevant. They are also full of resentment towards Embiid, and also want to give a lesson to this already rotten team.

Therefore, when the whole world thinks that the Pacers are not in good shape these days. Henson's Pacers are actually salivating for victory.

"We are united, we are united. We won once in the away game 4 days ago. Today, we will also prove that our victory is not because of luck." Before the game, Embiid was still interviewing reporters. Kyokushin.

When Henson was interviewed, he was extremely calm and surprising. Faced with the provocation of Embiid's upper eye on his nose, Henson did not go violently, but said to him, "I don't think no one can defend Embiid in one-on-one. His presence will come to us. Said it is a huge threat."

The Pacers fans in front of the TV were stunned. Will the former Henson compliment his opponent like this before the game! ? Totally impossible!

Now this Henson with a small braid and a big beard, I am afraid it is not the twin brother of the previous Henson!

Henson only said this, then turned and left and returned to the bench.

Before the game started, Henson called Lopez and Antetokounmpo to sum up something in their ears.

This action of Henson did not attract too many people's attention, but it made Mike Brin a knowing smile.

Whenever Henson and the players muttered something, something "bad" must happen.

Yeah, Henson said no one can defend Embiid in a one-on-one. But he didn't say that he would use one-on-one defense against Embiid...

That guy was just throwing smoke bombs.
