The Basketball Court Swordsman

Joel Embiid has always been an outspoken person. He never shy away from making controversial remarks on social media and the public.

Therefore, before the start of this special game, Embiid frequently attacked Henson. Sometimes, this kind of young blood is indeed very enviable.

But now, Embiid wished he had never said those provoking Henson. Because of the result of today's game, it was too miserable for Embiid.

He made 5 of 18 shots, 16 points, and the hit rate was as low as 27.7%. When the camera caught Embiid's face, his expression had completely revealed his frustration.

As an inside player, his shooting percentage was only 27.7%, which was undoubtedly a disastrous game. What's even more disastrous is that he was so arrogant before the game.

Fortunately, Embiid is not the only embarrassing player today. His good teammate Ben Simmons was also completely destroyed by the Pacers' defense.

The game only scored 8 points, and the shooting rate was 50%. It seems that although Simmons scores low, his shooting percentage is still very good. However, in fact, this is because Simmons was almost prevented from taking a shot, so this pretty good hit rate appeared.

But when the 76ers needed to score and someone needed to come forward, Ben Simmons almost disappeared. Therefore, the performance of the top champion today can be described as bleak.

At the end of the game, the electronic buzzer sounded through the audience, and the two young men with dull-eyed eyes recovered.

Embiid looked up at the big screen at the scene, then dropped his head lonely.

126 to 113, the Pacers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers at home by 13 points. From the second quarter of the entire game, the 76ers have been firmly suppressed.

Jimmy Butler walked off the court wearily. He looked at Embiid and Simmons and found it hard to say a word.

Compared with Wiggins and Towns, Embiid and Simmons play hard enough and are very eager to win. But in front of Henson, these two little guys were still too tender.

When Embiid and Simmons were locked up, Jimmy Butler launched a crazy personal attack. It is a pity that one punch is hard to beat four hands after all. What's more, under George's focused defense, Jimmy Butler's scoring efficiency is not too high.

The new leader of the 76ers shook his head disappointedly. He thought that after today, he would completely shake off Henson Joe's shadow.

But I didn't expect that the final outcome would be the same as before. Whether in the Bulls, Timberwolves or 76ers, his Jimmy Butler has never been able to win in the Bankers Life Arena.

The shadow of Henson Joe may really only disappear after he retires...

Embiid stood up and was about to walk towards the player tunnel, but was stopped by a sideline reporter. There is no doubt that as one of the key players in this game, Embiid will definitely be interviewed regardless of his performance.

"Joel, you said before the game that you and your team will break the Pacers' dominance. So, how do you evaluate the result of this game?"

"We lost, it's that simple." Embiid waved his hand impatiently, and then squeezed past the camera.

But soon, another reporter found him again.

"Joel, how do you evaluate your performance today? Do you think your performance is worthy of your pre-match ambitions."

Embiid was crying, and he really wished there was a hole for him to jump down and let him escape the embarrassment of being slapped face to face by reporters forever.

It's just a pity that Embiid doesn't have the ability to dig holes instantly, no matter how powerful it is.

"My performance today was... very bad. Okay, I admit. I was locked up by the Pacers' strategy and I was completely lost. They are very powerful, really stronger than we thought! Want to defeat They, I have to make persistent efforts."

In the end, Embiid had to compromise with reality. Sometimes, even the arrogant person must lower his arrogant head.

People call Embiid the "Emperor", and today, even the "Emperor" must bow to the basketball godfather of Indianapolis!

After the game, Henson, who returned to the locker room, immediately turned on the TV. Sure enough, the footage of Embiid's interview was being broadcast live on TV.

"Hahahahaha, look at this guy's expression, he is almost crying!"

"Boss, your trick is so cruel, merciless."

"You have to let him know how great it is, otherwise he will never know what it means to shut up."

In the locker room, Pacers players mocked Embiid. Of course, Henson is definitely the best thing in my heart.

The biggest capital of the 76ers is undoubtedly Embiid and Ben Simmons, two top talented young men. And he completely misfired those two top talents at once, which gave Henson a great sense of accomplishment.

Most of this month's hard schedule has passed. Against the Raptors, Celtics and 76ers, the Pacers' 2 wins and 1 loss record can be regarded as reaching Henson's psychological expectations.

So, as long as you work hard and earnestly, there are no difficulties you can't get through. Even though, this is the last season of Henson Joe. Even now he must take care of his health and his family.

At the press conference after the game, Henson also greeted the reporters with a smile. No way, who makes him feel good?

"Who else wants to challenge our Eastern supremacy? Just try. I promise, we will use the best side to meet your challenge."

Henson knew that in this highly competitive East this year, he has once again gained a foothold. Unless other teams in the mid-term trade to reinforce, otherwise, there will still be no team this year that can prevent him from reaching the top of the East.

After the Pacers and 76ers fought, the entire East fell into panic again. Because many teams suddenly discovered that they did so much last summer and added so many good players, but they still couldn't compete with the Pacers.

Overnight, rumors about the reinforcement of the Eastern teams began to fly. There are rumors that the Raptors began to flirt with Gasol. It has also been reported that the Philadelphia 76ers are eager to get Tobias Harris.

These two teams know very well that with their current strength, it is difficult to beat the Pacers in the series. And the only thing they can do is to continue to strengthen!

The Pacers plunged the East into a trading frenzy, perhaps for the first time in the history of the league. All teams strengthened wildly in the middle of the season, just to defeat one opponent.

Although the situation in the east has become turbulent now, Henson has turned his attention to the west. In January, Henson's most feared opponent is about to start his performance. And this team is exactly a Western team.

That's right, Henson has put all his attention on the five-star warrior!

The super team with five All-Stars as the starters is coming!

On January 19, two days after the Pacers played against the 76ers. Today, the Pacers will go far west. It's just that their opponent is the Dallas Mavericks who have no desire for the playoffs.

Although the Mavericks rushed to the lottery this season, they still attract much attention. First, because their super rookie Doncic is very eye-catching. Secondly, this year is Dirk's last season, so every game he has always attracted the attention of most fans.

As the defending champion, it is not difficult for the Pacers to defeat the now unreliable Mavericks. Therefore, most of the game, Henson gave the command to Becky Harmon, his future successor.

And Henson himself listened to what McMillan reported from time to time. The Hensons were in Dallas, but their hearts had already flown to Los Angeles.

At the same time, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, at least half of the basketball fans around the world have their eyes on it.

Warriors VS Clippers, this is just an ordinary regular season. But at the same time, this is also a not-so-common regular season.

Because in the Warriors' starting lineup, people saw the No. 0 big man who had been away from the stadium for 357 days and is now returning with a high profile-DeMarcus Cousins!

Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green and Cousins, when this fantastic starting lineup stepped onto the court, everyone got goose bumps.

Although this is the home of the Clippers, when the Warriors' starting five appeared, even some local Los Angeles fans could not help but start screaming.

Maybe even the Clippers basketball chairman, "Logo man" Jerry West, can't manage such a dreamy lineup.

After Cousins ​​came out, he stared fiercely at his opponents. This big guy is ready to make the NBA finale come early.

And he also successfully attracted Henson's attention. As a result, he didn't pay much attention to the game with the Mavericks.
