Chapter 279 Chapter 6 Loss

Chapter 279 No.16 Negative

As soon as Xiao Hang came up in the second quarter, he attacked 76 baskets.Fortunately, Isaac was able to open up the space and Embiid was outside, otherwise Xiao Hang would not be so relaxed.

Covington served, and Fultz passed halftime, giving Simmons the organization.

The 76ers' style of play is quite retro. Embiid has already settled inside, and Isaac is stuck for the ball.

Simmons passes the ball inside and pulls away.

Xiao Hang glanced at Simmons' position, and chose to double-team.

Simmons couldn't open up the space, which was his fate. Xiao Hang didn't choose to double-team in the first quarter. First, let's look at Simmons' position and observe the tactics of the 76ers.

Now that he has confirmed it, he was also communicating with Isaac about the defensive issue during the break just now.

Embiid was a little uncomfortable with Xiao Hang's sudden double-teaming.

After all, the game just now went smoothly and was very comfortable.

Simmons received the ball from the outside, but Xiao Hang did not choose to make up for it, leaving the position vacant.

Simmons was very embarrassed. Fortunately, there were 12 seconds left in the attack time. He chose to pass the ball. Fultz forced Murray and hit the iron to end the round.

This is the most embarrassing thing for the 76ers. The Spurs didn't use this move before, just to see if there was any change in the 76ers' offense. Watching the video before, the 76ers didn't care.

But at this point in time, will Coach Brown make any targeted changes?

However, it disappointed Popovich. It can be said that the Spurs are too careful here.

The 76ers are generally still a team that relies on talent to play. Coach Brown's level has a bit of a negative effect on their growth.

In particular, Popovich felt that there was Embiid and Fultz in his hand, tsk tsk.

It's really eating what's in the bowl and looking at what's in the pot.

After Embiid was double-teamed consecutively, his brave state in the first quarter was gone.

Simmons, who refused to shoot three times, was arranged clearly. He only has the ability to pass the ball in the halftime. It is better to let Fultz do it. The 76ers still have Chandler. Although he is also a veteran, he at least has the ability to make three-pointers. Yes, the effect is not bad.

Coach Brown still let Embiid continue to be double-teamed, and then let Embiid act according to his personal ability.

Without tactical support, the 76ers were gradually opened up by the Spurs.

After all, the Spurs are not those teams in the East. They are strictly disciplined, and the technical and tactical state of the players is much better than that of most teams.

Simmons struggled, Embiid struggled, and the only one who could count was Fultz.

Facing Murray's one-on-one defense, he played fairly well, but the team's tactics were not too inclined. They were basically individual singles, and Murray and Murray seemed to be using each other.

Murray is practicing the method of defending against this newcomer, and Fultz is gaining experience by playing the current new generation of 3D.

Xiao Hang pinched Embiid, either Embiid forced a shot, or Embiid passed the ball to Simmons, and then Simmons passed the ball, disrupting the 76ers' offensive rhythm.

Coach Brown, who wanted to win in the second half, gave Simmons to "DNP".

Wilson Chandler is fully used on the front line. Although he is 32 years old, Chandler only shoots from outside the three-point line. This is enough, so Embiid has enough space in the interior. Xiao Hang Nor will he step forward to double-team casually.

With four shooters, Embiid is so comfortable that he can single Isaac again and again.

It's a pity that Coach Brown's thinking is too simple. He solved one problem and created another. Coach Brown forgot one thing. Simmons can at least have a restrictive effect on Xiao Hang on the defensive end, while Chandler can't , was casually broken by Xiao Hang.

In the third quarter, Xiao Hang scored 11 points in a single quarter. Coach Brown slapped himself in the face.At the end of the previous midfield, they only led 75 to 67 by three points.

But in the fourth quarter, it was too late to send Simmons up. Simmons was "DNP" for almost a quarter, and he was already unhappy, and his hands have been cold for a long time. Yes, sent 3 turnovers in the fourth quarter.

Xiao Hang played 37 minutes and scored 34 points. Embiid, who scored 13 points in the first quarter, only scored 28 points after Xiao Hang's harassment. , The efficiency of the third and fourth quarters is appalling.

Simmons looked at the data, 8 points, 12 assists, 10 rebounds, not bad, but 6 turnovers directly exposed him.

The Spurs finally took away the 105ers with a 95-10, 76-point advantage.

After repelling the challenge from the 76ers, the Spurs took a day off and continued to meet the challenge from the Boston Celtics.

In this game, the Spurs unexpectedly rested Xiao Hang.

It is true that Xiao Hang played most of the games with high intensity in the last few games, and he needs to rest, and there is no ranking pressure in the next games.

The Spurs without Xiao Hang played against the whole army of Lukai, and the game was extremely exciting. No one thought that the Spurs without Xiao Hang would not be a weak team, and they played back and forth with Lukai.

The Spurs here take Isaac as the axis. On the offensive end, they play pass control, and they play very well. Isaac has 5 assists in the first half.

There is also a group of shooters with an average three-point shooting rate of more than 40% on the outside. Green Kai is really a headache. The ability of the Spurs players to run tactics is obviously higher than that of the Green Kai players.

Moreover, the Spurs also have a good defensive system, and Lukai does not have any impactful players inside, and Isaac is even more fearless on the defensive end.

At the same time, the outside Celtics were unable to cause any effective damage to the Spurs.

The anxious situation lasted until the last 3 minutes of the game.

Green Kai's big-name player Irving began to take over the game.

First, Murray scored two goals in consecutive singles and scored 5 points.

Then Lu Kai also defended the Spurs twice in a row, and the score was instantly pulled away. The Spurs were embarrassed without Xiao Hang, a player who scored at critical moments.

Ineffective attack, this is the biggest problem of the Spurs without Xiao Hang.

Of course, with Xiao Hang, this is not a problem. Without Xiao Hang, the Spurs played well. Popovich is very satisfied with this.After all, Green Kai is now fourth in the Eastern Conference. As I said earlier, any team is fourth in the Eastern Conference. It is possible for any team to enter the finals.

Although they lost and won the No. 16 defeat of the season, for the Spurs, it has nothing to do with rankings, and the right is training.

The next game is the last away game for the Spurs. The Washington Wizards are here to challenge the Wizards. The Wizards have lost the chance to advance to the playoffs. There is a high probability that this game will be played casually, and it is still an away game, such as Wall, Porter Whether he will play is still a question.
