1050: Only you yourself think this is a war

At the end of the game, people saw such a disappointed expression on Joel Embiid's face for the first time.

Compared to 95, the Memphis Grizzlies easily scored 76ers in Philadelphia, with a score difference of 19 points.

The 76ers' longest two consecutive wins in the season were ended, while the Grizzlies were happy to win the 15th game and continued to maintain their unbeaten golden body!

Before the game, everyone thought that in the absence of Gasol, the 76ers might be upset if they fought.

But the fact is cruel, Embiid's power is not enough to cause trouble for the grizzly bears.

Not even enough to cause trouble for the Grizzlies' substitute center...

The 76ers have no chance of winning if a main center forward is not successful.

Bamot looked at Embiid's expression on the TV and couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

He hadn't seen this expression on Embiid's face for many years. This moment brought him back to a few years ago and to the night when Embiid said, "I don't belong here at all."

This may be the first setback Embiid encountered since he officially entered the league.

Although the 76ers had both lost and lost, Embiid's personal performance was fine. In the last game against the Heat, he even played against Whiteside in no match.

But today, Embiid was defeated.

Although the data are similar, Embiid's hit rate is lower than Jokic.

The most important thing is that Jokic is just a substitute for the Grizzlies...

"The game is over, and the Memphis Grizzlies have won 15 consecutive victories. It is almost a month since the regular season started, but the Grizzlies have not lost the ball. It seems that this year, Link really wants to lead the team back to the championship ranks."

"After 27 points, 6 points, rebounds and 6 assists, Link's data was as beautiful as ever after 46 points in the last game. The most important thing is that he only played for three minutes in the fourth quarter. If he played the whole game, Link should get a triple-double again."

The two Philadelphia commentators are now honest and don’t say the Grizzlies’ sarcastic words anymore.

The long-suppressed Philadelphia fans and commentators wishfully believed that the Sixers are now a strong team, but it turns out that they are just a little better than before.

It's still far from a strong team.

Embiid stood up in disappointment and looked at Jokic in the other half.

At this time, Jokic was sitting on the bench, smiling foolishly.

After a closer look, Embiid could even see Jokic's belly slightly raised after sitting down!

The eye-catching "pork belly" made Embiid angry.

"Damn, it's so shameful!" Embiid clenched his fists unwillingly. It was embarrassing to lose to such a guy!

Seeing Jokic like that, Embiid became more angry and more depressed.

After celebrating with his teammates, Link accepted an interview with espn reporters on the sidelines. Link had already put in all his efforts tonight's interview.

"Congratulations, Link, you have another beautiful victory."

"This is expected. We should have won this game. To be honest, I haven't figured out what made everyone misunderstand and think that this game will be very anxious."

Now that the game is over, Link is going to start to settle the new and old accounts together! Before the game, Link was too lazy to talk to them, but now, none of the media that ridiculed the Grizzlies before the game could escape.

"Uh...about Joel Embiid..."

"Hey, today's winner is the Grizzlies, Jokic. Can we not talk about Embiid? I said before the game that Jokic is the center with the best potential in this league. If you don't believe it, you will say I am a fool. Now, who is a fool?"

Before the reporter could finish asking, Link started to answer questions.

Although he is arrogant, Link's words are indeed unable to refute.

Embiid and Jokic were basically tied today. If you analyze it carefully, Jokic even has a slight advantage.

Before the game, everyone beat Embiid so well, but was dealt with by a substitute center of the Grizzlies. Even if Embiid's supporters wanted to refute Link, they had no arguments to refute.

Afterwards, Embiid was also quite embarrassed at the 76ers press conference.

"Joel, how do you think of Jokic's performance? Are you underestimating the enemy too much? Or have you tried your best?"

"We all know that fans have high expectations for this game. But you didn't get an advantage in the inside with Gasol's absence. What do you think is the problem?"

"Joel, you said before the game that Jokic thought he was better than you, then he would be too naive. That is, do you think you performed better than Jokic tonight? Even if he hits a full ten percentage points higher than you?"

Embiid couldn't answer any of the reporters' questions, it was all a pitfall!

The higher people praised him before the game, the harder he will fall now!

In the end, Embiid was very embarrassed and was silent all night at the press conference. Without answering a single question, he turned around and left.

Bamot turned off the TV again and couldn't bear to continue watching.

Embiid is still very strong, and he is still Bamott's favorite Cameroonian player.

If you want to blame, it’s just that the Grizzlies are so strong...

The day after the game, Mark Gasol, who was suspended for five games and did not participate in the competition, was also favored by reporters in the training hall.

In addition to asking about some things related to bans and conflicts, the reporter also asked about a lot of things related to yesterday's game.

But in the face of these questions, Gasol could only shake his head awkwardly, "Sorry, man, I really can't answer you. Because last night... I was watching TV series and not watching the game..."

"What!? Don't you care about the team's situation?"

"Of course I care, but yesterday's game didn't have anything to worry about from the beginning. How could we lose against the 76ers with 4 wins and 10 losses? To be honest, I haven't understood what you are worried about. Before the game, some people thought it was a focus battle... Please..." Gasol spread his hands disdainfully, and his tone of answering was exactly the same as Link yesterday.

From the beginning, only the 76ers, Philadelphia fans and media themselves wishfully thought it was a big battle.

But what about the grizzly bears? They didn't take it seriously at all.

It seems that what Link said in an interview yesterday was not for show-off, but for the true thoughts of all Grizzlies players...

"But... if you are not present, are you not worried about Embiid at all?"

"I'm not worried at all. I know Jokic's strength, his strength is not inferior to Embiid. So I was not surprised at all after seeing the results of the game this morning."

"So," the reporter changed his mind and seized another topic worthy of hype. "Do you think Jokic will threaten your starting position? If he continues to grow, are you willing to give up the starting opportunity?"

For many players, this is a fatal problem. It is definitely fake to say that you don’t care about the starting lineup. But if you want to say that you care, isn’t that equivalent to declaring war on your teammates?

No matter how Gasol answers, it is a pitfall!

But it is obvious that this reporter underestimated the Grizzlies' cohesion.

"If you insist on saying it, I think Jokic may be better than me now. If that's the case, what's the point of him playing as a starting player?"

"What!? That's it?"

"What else can it be?" Gasol gave the reporter in front of him a blank look.

Gasol Jr. is now an absolute Grizzlies player. You know, when the Grizzlies won the third championship, he once gave up his playing time and opportunity because the team needed to play in a small lineup.

He had already put the team's interests completely above himself a few years ago.

For others, "whether to give up the starter" may be a gift question. But for Gasol, this is not a problem.

The reporter lowered his head in disappointment, and today was another day of gaining nothing.

I have never succeeded in trying to make trouble with the Grizzlies.

However, in fact, after playing against the 76ers, Jogel did plan to put Jokic on the start.
Chapter completed!
