After Holmes was knocked out by Embiid, the Kings' offense seemed smoother.
Of course, no one on the Kings team can hold down Embiid.
Even though Barnes and Bagley have been double-teaming Embiid, they are still being hit by Embiid.
In this way, the two sides have been in a state of constant conflict with each other.
Until the last 4 minutes of the first quarter, Bagley also fouled twice.
Walton had no choice but to take Bagley off the field and replace him with Holmes.
But Holmes had just played two minutes and already committed his third foul.
In this way, the two inside players of the Kings were fouled five times by Embiid in the first quarter.
This made Wharton's expression serious.
Both insiders were in foul trouble.
The Kings can only bring their backup big man Damian Jones on the court.
This is also a hopeless solution.
Damian Jones wants to score but not score, wants rebounds but not rebounds, wants three points but not three points.
And it will also slow down the Kings' rhythm.
But under the current circumstances, the Kings only have him as an inside man. If he doesn't play, the Kings will completely lose their inside man.
Fortunately, Embiid had already taken a rest at this time.
Both sides have two main players and three substitutes playing on the court.
Although the main lineup of the Kings is average, the substitutes are still very good.
At the end of the first quarter, the Kings trailed by only 4 points at 27:31.
Because after Mogou left the Rockets, he joined the management of the 76ers.
Therefore, China will not broadcast the 76ers games live.
This leaves fans who want to watch Wang Yi's game scratching their heads.
Each one of them kept scolding Mo Gou fiercely.
Some fans also found some small live broadcast rooms.
Not to watch the 76ers, just to watch Wang Yi.
Wang Yi's father, Wang Jianhua, is a bit old after all, and he couldn't find the live broadcast of this game after searching over and over again.
He had to find a student and ask the student to help him find a live broadcast room online.
When the live broadcast room screen came out, Wang Jianhua seemed to finally heave a sigh of relief.
Now watching his son's games has become his daily routine.
If he misses any game, he will be depressed all day long.
76ers home court, Wachovia Center.
The second quarter of the game between the two sides has begun.
Just 4 minutes into this quarter, Bagley received another foul.
Walton had no choice but to take Bagley down again and send out Holmes, who committed three fouls, again.
However, it has to be said that Embiid is really powerful.
With his strong strength and solid footsteps, he can always succeed in the interior.
And not only is he powerful, he seems to have stolen Harden's skills this season.
It will fall down at the first touch.
What is the Eighteen Fall of Zhanyi?
As long as you dare to touch my clothes, I will fall down.
So soon, Holmes received the fourth foul of the game.
Had to take a break.
The Kings had no choice but to take down Holmes once again, put Bagley on the court, and played a game of one-year-old and four-year-old.
It's just that this time, the big four and the little ones don't feel very good.
Although their running and gun running was good, they just couldn't make any shots.
Except for the two fast break layups, the remaining three unguarded three-pointers were made one after another.
In turn, he was hit by Embiid's constant attacks.
Even Barnes, who came to double-team, got his third foul on Embiid.
This made the Kings players play a little impatiently.
After all, they are all young players and can easily become impatient when faced with adversity.
And often the more impatient you are, the more likely you are to miss.
Halfway through the second quarter, the score difference between the two sides had reached 10 points.
The most important thing is that almost all the Kings' interior players committed three or more fouls.
Holmes has already committed four crimes.
Kings coach Walton had to call a timeout again.
Mark Zumov, the on-site commentator, was still smiling and pushed up his black glasses: "Did you see it? This is JoJo's dominance, completely dominating both offense and defense. The three insiders of the Kings have already committed three fouls.
There are still four fouls, and even their small forward Barnes has already committed three fouls. Their situation is very bad."
"So even if Simmons hasn't played yet, the 76ers are quite competitive. Have you seen it, Simmons? Come back soon. If you come back, the 76ers will become the number one favorite to compete for the championship."
"As for the false king who said before the game that he could beat us 100%, let's take a look at his current statistics. Halfway through the second quarter, he only scored 13 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists."
"It seems that his condition today is really not good, so don't panic. We, the 76ers, don't panic."
Wang Yi looked at the time and then at the score difference.
Indeed, he didn't feel very good today.
Only 2 of 7 3-pointers were made.
Even the mid-range shot that had always worked well in the past, today he shot an outrageous 1-for-5.
But since offense doesn't work, let's start with defense.
Wharton thought so too.
He emphasized to the players:
"Today our tactics came out, and our one-star four-shooter system came out. But our feel is really not good. So what we can do now is to wait for the feel to recover, and the other is to try to improve our defense.
strength."
"Everyone must stay motivated and aggressive when defending. Even if it is a foul, we cannot let them score easily. We must be ruthless and our defense must be ruthless. They are rabbits and we are wolves. We must be like hungry wolves.
Defend them."
Walton doesn't have many ways to train defense, he can only blindly feed chicken soup to the players.
Before taking the field, Wang Yi called the players together:
"Next, there will be a lot of blocked shots. You have to be mentally prepared. Once I block them, you will counterattack as soon as you get the ball. Our three-point shooting is not good, so we have to be quick.
Be faster and try to get opportunities for layups or dunks."
The players were all slightly stunned.
How do you know there will be a lot of blocks?
Is blocking that easy?
They are all human beings.
They are living people, they can avoid and make false moves.
Therefore, if you want to block a player's shot, in addition to your absolute physical advantage, you must also have the right timing to block the shot.
A normal player's blocking rate can reach 1/10, which is already pretty good.
Now Wang Yi actually said that there will be many blocks in the future.
Isn’t this a bit ridiculous?
But after Wang Yi said those words, he walked towards the court, leaving everyone with a confident figure behind him.
The other players were confused, but they could only follow.
The first ball after the timeout was scored by the Kings.
In the position battle, the Kings are still full of stars.
After Wang Yi broke in, he passed the ball to Hield.
But Hield feels really bad today, having made 0 of 3 three-point shots.
This three-point shot still failed to hit.
He shook his head helplessly and cursed Fake.
When Wang Yi passed by Hield, he patted him on the back: "It's okay, brother, just vote when you have the chance."
I'm not afraid that you won't make the shot, but I'm afraid that you won't dare to make the shot even if you have the chance.
Losing self-confidence is much more serious than missing a shot.
