Chapter 848
Chapter 839 : The real superstar
Yiyang is more worried about Ben Simmons, and it is not unreasonable. In the first five games of his career, Simmons averaged 17.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. With a statistic close to a triple-double, you can hardly imagine that this is the level played by a rookie.
Comparing the data of the first five games of the career of several historical big coffees, the Magic averaged 20.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, Larry Bird averaged 18.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, LeBron James Averaged 16.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 7 assists per game. Yiyang was even worse, with only 13.7 points, 8.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds in the first five games of his career. Compared with Simmons, the first five games of these big names in their careers seem to be less dazzling. In other words, Ben Simmons is a player who has the opportunity to become a historical superstar!
Yiyang has watched Simmons’ game video. This guy is indeed very versatile. He is a tall point guard at all. But again, his shortcoming is also very obvious, that is shooting.
LeBron James still had a long shot when he entered the league, but Simmons is very unstable even with a mid-range shot. His scores are basically obtained from the penalty area.
Carlisle naturally saw the problems that Yiyang could see very thoroughly. So today, Carlisle’s defensive strategy is very simple, stick to the inside!
“Shrink, the defensive end gave me as much shrink as possible to protect the rim. In today’s game, JJ Redick was unable to play due to injury, and the 76ers lost their most stable three-point shooting point. So, give me Shrink the defense to resist Simmons’s impact. In addition, cut off Simmons and others, especially Embiid’s passing route. Cut their offense to make them independent. The other party is indeed very promising, but it is just a group of recruits. That’s it. The whole world is waiting to see Embiid beat us violently, then we will let them see who is the boss of this alliance!”
In the locker room, Carlisle finally emphasized the tactical arrangements that he had tossed about over and over in the past few days. Even so, the players still listened very seriously.
Faced with the challenges of the new forces, no veteran is willing to subdue. Embiid and Simmons may one day really create an era that belongs to them. But obviously, the timing is not now!
When the Mavericks players came to warm up, they found that the 76ers were already in their positions. Yiyang really couldn’t believe that the 76ers that lost and even won the culture almost disappeared, actually said that they rose. At first, the 76ers almost picked Yiyang away, but in the end they chose Evan Turner. If the 76ers insisted on winning Yiyang at that time, it is estimated that they would not have to wait so many years to re-emerge.
Since Yiyang entered the league, the 76ers have been in a state of rebuilding. Until now, Yiyang has won four O’Brien Cups, and the 76ers finally got rid of the name of the fish belly.
Before the game started, Embiid turned his head and smiled at Yiyang. Of course, that kind of smirk is impossible to make people feel friendly.
“Rudy, his offensive power is very terrifying. You have to concentrate on it today. I don’t want you to become the second Drummond.” Yiyang ignored Embiid and whispered to Gobert. sentence.
“Don’t worry, I won’t take it lightly. 30 points, he can’t even think about it! No, I promise, I won’t let this guy score more than 15 points!”
Hearing Gobert’s tone so confident, Yiyang was also relieved a lot. As long as they can hold Embiid, the 76ers’ threat will be reduced by more than half. Next, as long as Ben Simmons is dealt with, they are almost powerless to resist.
The injuries of Fultz, Redick and others have limited the 76ers’ attack points. Simmons and Embiid are the life-saving straws of the 76ers! What the Mavericks have to do now is to uproot these two straws!
“I can’t believe that if there was a game between the 76ers and the Mavericks a few years ago, I would probably just ignore it. Because it would definitely be a carnage! But now it’s different. The new 76ers have become the league. This is a big threat between the new power and the old order. Embiid also said before the game that he will do his best to blow up the U.S. Route Center Arena. Then let’s see if the new power can top it. Turn over the rule of the old order!”
Jaylen Rose was sitting on the commentary stage. On the surface, he looked neutral, but in fact, this guy wanted Yiyang to kick Embiid’s ass.
Last season, when Embiid suddenly appeared and started to kill the Quartet, he once said that he had recovered almost 69%. Unexpectedly, Embiid was questioned by Jaylen Rose. Ross believes that this statement is too trifling and unprofessional at all.
After Embiid knew that Jaylen Rose had opinions about him, he immediately told reporters, “I feel I am now 81% back.”
Obviously, Embiid is ridiculing Jaylen Rose for allowing Kobe to score 81 points. Jaylen Rose was speechless when he said this. For Kobe, 81 minutes of the night is glory. But for Jaylen Rose, it was a shame.
Therefore, Embiid and Rose formed a bridge. Today Rose happened to come to the scene to explain the game. He really hopes that the Mavericks will not let Embiid’s kid continue to be rampant.
Embiid still showed his playful smile to Gobert when he was fighting for the ball. If it were three or four years ago, the two might have to fight before the game started. But now Gobert is a lot more stable than before. He promised Yiyang would not let Embiid score more than 15 points. If you are sent off for a fight, won’t you be able to fulfill your promise?
Gobert resembles Yiyang in one thing, that is, they don’t care what others say or do. Victory is the only thing these two guys desire!
During the scrimmage, it was discovered that the Mavericks adjusted their starting lineup for the first time this season. Rudy Gay replaced Dirk in the starting position 4, and Mitchell replaced Deron as Yiyang’s starting partner.
Dirk has long said that he can accept the status of a substitute. For a legendary superstar, it is difficult to become a substitute. But here in Dirk, there is no obstacle. As for Deron, he has proven that he is more suitable to be a commander in the second team. After Mitchell starts, the Mavericks’ offensive power will also greatly increase.
This change looks very sudden, but it is actually the result of Carlisle’s offense after careful consideration.
The 76ers have a very special lineup, they don’t have a point guard in the true sense, because Ben Simmons is a point guard. Of the five starters, Bayless is the only defender, Simmons, Covington and Saric are all forwards, and Embiid is the center.
If you use a traditional starter to play against the 76ers, the 76ers will almost be misplaced every time they attack. Think of Simmons facing Dirk, the picture is so daunting.
But now after Carlisle has changed, everyone can almost match up with their opponents. Sixers coach Brett Brown pouted, and Carlisle came prepared.
The referee blew his whistle, and Embiid scrambled for the basketball with a disdainful smile. When he passed by Gobert, Embiid did not forget to provoke, “Your fate will be the same as Drummond’s arrogant man, man!”
Simmons came with the ball, and it was Yiyang’s good brother Hayward. The 76 team’s other forward Saric was entangled by Rudy Gay. Yiyang went to defend Covington, and Bayless, who had the weakest offensive power, handed over to Mitchell.
Simmons called for a screen from outside the three-point line, and Embiid immediately provided the premise. Gobert didn’t dare to slack off, he knew that Embiid’s range can extend beyond the three-point line, so he can’t let this guy even if it’s one step.
With cover, Simmons broke through Hayward. Gobert was at a loss, chasing Simmons? Embiid is empty. stand still? Simmons deducted. Although Guy caught Durant in the last game, he is still not a pure frame protector. In the face of Simmons’s impact, Guy definitely couldn’t handle it alone.
Just as Simmons started three strides and was about to rise into the air, a yellow lightning flashed suddenly, and when he looked again, the basketball in Simmons’s hand was gone.
“Fantastic back-up defense! Also cut the ball too fast! God, if there is no playback, I can’t even see how he cut the ball just now!” Jaylen Rose immediately climaxed www. Yiyang he destroyed an offense that was almost destined to score!
“Damn it!” Simmons gritted his teeth and chased him back. This was the first time he played against the legendary superstar Yiyang. But obviously, he still underestimated the power of the legendary superstar. That number one is the only defender who can win the best defensive player in the 21st century!
It also advanced quickly, and Embiid was chasing after him. Relying on speed alone, Embiid is naturally unable to compare with Yiyang. But with the advantages of height and wingspan, Embiid is not impossible to stage a chase.
The Cameroonian genius is working harder to defend than at any other time of the season. Yesterday Yiyang asked reporters who Embiid is. Today, I will let you remember Joel Embiid’s name!
Yiyang stepped into the three-second zone with one foot, and rose into the air as if he had gotten rid of gravity. At the same time, Embiid also followed the jump, fully stretched out his long arms, his big hands tightly covered the basketball. It seems that a chasing risk is about to take shape!
“What legends, go to death!” Embiid waved his arm vigorously, but did not catch the basketball.
Like long eyes on the back of his head, Yiyang suddenly shrank the ball toward his abdomen, avoiding Embiid’s cover!
Embiid’s body has begun to fall, but Yiyang is still gliding! He raised the basketball over his head again, hung the frame with both hands vigorously, and successfully dunked and scored!
“Also! Steal and fast break a dragon dunk! Haha, look at the surprised expressions of Embiid and Simmons! This alliance is far from as simple as they thought! This is also, this is the greatest star on the planet ! Embiid and Simmons are far behind!”
Jaylen Rose is crazy, and all Mavericks fans are crazy. Yiyang passed Embiid’s side and spread out his hands innocently.
I just used a little bit of strength, why did I score a goal?
