This Forward is Not Serious

Chapter 604 The Desperate Emperor

For what reason, he didn’t know, and probably no one except Simmons himself would know.

But at least judging from the current situation, the 76ers can no longer continue to play like this.

He turned around and waved his hand, and Belinelli was called up from the bench.

The short whistle sounded and Belinelli came on to replace Saric.

That's right, it's power forward Saric. Of course, he doesn't ask Belinelli to play the fourth position. Instead, he moves Simmons to the fourth position just like when he played the Bucks before, so that there are three shooters on the outside. Bede's space in the paint will be much better than in the previous lineup.

This is indeed the case. After this wave of adjustments, Embiid received the ball in the low post and no longer encountered a double attack.

Simmons still has no shooting, but his basketball IQ is still very good. The previous cut is a demonstration. If Embiid passes the ball, Simmons will definitely be able to complete the finish.

Embiid finally got a chance to play Jokic alone.

After all, he is actually only a third-year student, and his reputation and strength are much weaker than Jokic's.

But the matchup is not entirely determined by this. Jokic's defense is not particularly outstanding, and Embiid's low-post skills are good enough, which is destined to give Embiid an advantage in this matchup.

Embiid also showed off his best skill in this wave of offense: his feet.

Or to be more precise, step up and down.

Because he has the ability to hook and shoot from close range, opponents need to always be wary of this hand when guarding him.

And he is very flexible for a big man of that size. Coupled with his body, his style is very similar to Olajuwon.

Therefore, his up and down steps were very effective. Although Jokic was not staggered, he was unable to destroy Embiid's offense after being squeezed away.

"Bang!"

Embiid was obviously holding his breath at this moment. After squeezing through, he took a step forward and directly jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket!

After dunking, Embiid turned around and roared angrily at...well, Lin Ying, who happened to be walking to the baseline to serve.

Embiid was also stunned for a moment. He was originally going for Jokic, but who would have thought that Lin Ying suddenly barged in at this time.

He felt guilty for a moment, but he still suppressed his expression and turned around, raised his hand and gave Simmons a high-five who had just come over.

4 to 5.

Brown's adjustment had an immediate impact. Whether it was the score or the scene, the 76ers were already in a stalemate with the Nets.

At this time, the faces of the 76ers players began to look confident.

The Nets are not as strong as they thought, and they are actually not as weak as they thought!

In a specific move, Embiid unconsciously reached out to applaud his teammates after retreating to half court.

Although the 76ers were a little passive at the beginning because of Simmons' "refuse to shoot" mode, the coach's adjustments allowed them to get rid of this passivity.

This lineup that previously defeated the Bucks also has a chance to help them defeat the Nets.

Lin Ying, holding the ball with one hand, directly launched the attack.

So fast.

This was Embiid's reaction when he turned his attention to Lin Ying.

Lin Ying's entire state was completely different from the previous rounds. It felt like he had suddenly entered another state.

Soon, Simmons was broken through by Lin Ying.

The speed of breaking through the defense was faster than anyone imagined, and it was much faster.

You must know that Simmons used to be able to steal the ball when defending against Bradley alone, but Lin Ying got through it so easily one-on-one!

He wanted to go up to help defend, but Lin Ying saw him, and with a second acceleration, he hit the ball hard into the basket before he could help defend.

He didn't even have time to reach out.

Because of the strength of the team, this season, or since Durant came, Lin Ying rarely plays in "Zone" mode.

But just now it was obvious that he had gone in again.

Embiid suddenly realized that he shouldn't have done that just now, or at least, he should have hesitated after realizing that he yelled at the wrong Lin Ying.

His desire to win, or overexcitement, has put the 76ers in danger now.

However, Embiid quickly adjusted his mood and ran forward.

Some things have to be faced after all. If they want to defeat the Nets, they can't get around Lin Ying.

Just assume that everything is ahead of schedule!

As long as they can withstand this pressure, they will be able to transform and grow from a young team into a real championship team!

Embiid encouraged himself to close the loop perfectly, and when he reached the frontcourt, he continued to ask for the ball with his back to Jokic.

The success of the ball just now gave him confidence, he will score twice!

Redick's ball went in, and Embiid repeated his old tricks, but this time he stepped up and down toward the free throw line. After squeezing past Jokic again, he directly chose to shoot off the board.

His flexibility really doesn't match his size.

This is so critical for big men.

Had it not been for injuries, he would have been the top pick.

Only this time his end was unexpected.

In other words, he underestimated Jokic's defensive ability.

Although Jokic is not a very strong defender, he can't stand him because of his good physical talent and quick reactions. This time, he took advantage of Embiid's shot and hit the ball directly from behind Embiid. Damn it!

What I fear most is the sudden silence in the air.

Embiid had no time to react. By the time he did, Jokic had already taken away the defensive rebound.

Moreover, Jokic's fast break awareness is so good. The first moment he got the rebound, he raised it above his head, and then quickly threw the ball forward.

Unlike Lin Ying James' kind of quarterback pass, his pass always has a sense of ease.

But the quality of his first pass is definitely not lower than Lin Ying and James.

At this time, Bradley was at the front, followed closely by Lin Ying.

The Nets' fast break was too fast, and only Redick on the 76ers' side had time to keep up.

In a two-on-one situation in the frontcourt, Bradley advanced past half-court and gave the ball to Lin Ying.

Lin Ying resisted Redick's defense and reached the free throw line in the frontcourt, taking a look at Bradley on the weak side.

Redick was led by Lin Ying to turn his head automatically, but at the moment he turned back, he saw a black shadow suddenly jump out from in front of his eyes.

Lin Ying suddenly flew into the air, not even giving him a chance to dodge!

Lin Ying did it on purpose.

He came from time travel, so he naturally brings emotions from the previous world.

There are not many NBA players who can make him "hate" him to the extent, but Redick is one of them.

Although it can be regarded as an accident, being able to "blurt it out" is not something that you are used to.

So now that the opportunity is in front of him, of course he will not show mercy.

Redick was too late to hide and interfere, so he passively followed Lin Ying back.

"Bang!"

Then, with all the spectators watching, Redick was dunked directly by Lin Ying with both hands!

And the huge impact directly caused Redick to fly out...

The unlucky ones are always the photographers under the basket. They held their cameras and had no time to dodge, and then they saw Redick flying towards him.

Fortunately, these photographers are also "experienced in many battles" and can dodge very quickly.

This time, Redick took pity on him. Not only was he knocked away, he didn't even have a buffer, and his back directly came into close contact with the basket frame.

The moment after the impact, his entire expression became ferocious, and then he lay on the ground motionless.

It was obvious that the injury was accidental.

Of course, most fans at the scene did not pay attention to this. The scene was already filled with overwhelming cheers from the fans.

It was not only Lin Ying who saw Embiid roaring, but also the fans!

That scene happened to be caught by the photographer and put on the big LED screen.

So Lin Ying's response was really explosive!

But the fans were having fun, and the referee's whistle sounded on the field.

It turned out that the game was about to continue. At this time, the referee noticed that Redick was lying on the ground and had not yet gotten up, and blew the whistle to pause the game.

The 76ers' team doctor hurriedly came on the court to communicate with Redick.

Lin Ying also didn't expect that the dunk he just made directly injured Redick?

God is my witness, this is not the same as the way he used to defeat Bowen, and he just wanted to embarrass Redick, but he never thought about defeating him.

After a while, Redick stood up with the help of the team doctor.

And he doesn't seem to have much of a problem.

Lin Ying did not make any dangerous moves, and he did not look as fragile as expected.

Lin Ying was in a good mood after seeing it.

After all, if Redick had left it like that, tonight would have been a lot less fun.

After a short pause, the main players of both sides returned to the court and the game continued.

Belinelli made a tactical three-point shot from the outside but missed, and the rebound was protected by Lin Ying.

Bradley missed a layup during the Nets' fast break, and Simmons picked off a defensive rebound.

Each team missed an attack, and the ball came to the 76ers again.

Embiid continues to dominate in the low post.

Continuous singles consume a lot of energy. After taking a break just now, his physical energy has returned.

The ball went in and Embiid continued to play singles.

This time Lin Ying continued to attack from the flank.

Although the two of them defended Jokic the last time they faced off, there was an element of Embiid underestimating the enemy.

Generally speaking, Jokic is still at a disadvantage defending Embiid.

Embiid also learned a lesson this time. He turned towards the free throw line and then turned around and knocked the ball directly from the baseline to Simmons on the opposite side.

This ball really shows Embiid's basketball IQ.

Despite constant injuries, he was still able to become an All-Star in his third grade. His abilities in all aspects are outstanding.

After receiving the ball, Simmons took a dribble, jumped up and immediately dunked.

But just as he was flying into the air, a figure jumped up almost at the same time.

Lin Ying!

After entering the "Zone", Lin Ying's reaction speed reached its peak.

Assisting in defense, returning to defense, and covering up defense, he can quickly move into place within the range of the basket.

Simmons had the ball over his head, but he soon found that he couldn't smash the ball into the basket.

"boom!"

Lin Ying made a move in the air and slapped Simmons' dunk from the side onto the backboard!

This is not a nailboard hat, but it has more visual impact than a nailboard hat!

Simmons lost the ball, but he couldn't stop the dunk action and dunked directly into the air.

At this time, Lin Ying took off the second time after landing and had already pocketed the ball!

The Nets once again played a fast break.

This time it's a two-on-two frontcourt, with Bradley and Ariza on the Nets' side, and Redick and Covington on the 76ers' side.

This wave of fast breaks failed in the end, and Bradley could only dribble the ball back to the three-point line and wait for the position to attack.

But just as he was thinking this, a figure arrived belatedly.

That was Lin Ying who picked off the rebound and sent a long pass!

So fast!

There was wind under Lin Ying's feet!

Bradley's quick eyesight and quick hands pushed the ball directly to Lin Ying who was advancing in the middle.

At this time, the 76ers players did not retreat in place. When Lin Ying caught the ball and rushed in, all he could see was...

Um, it’s still Redick!

Redick was already preparing to defend himself, but when he looked up, he saw Lin Ying coming again.

And he feels the same as Bradley, so fast!

But the good news is that he had time to hide this time.

He jumped away holding his head.

And then the next second.

"Bang!"

Lin Ying made a gliding dunk and slammed the ball into the basket!

Redick's dodge with his head in his hands at this moment made the visual effect of this ball full again!

The Barclays Center is boiling again, and this time the fans are even more excited than before.

Because from the flying block to the follow-up gliding dunk, Lin Ying had one of the top five shots of the day!

Moreover, this is Lin Ying's consecutive dunks!

Fans have seen Kobe's feelings before, and yes, that feeling will last forever.

But they want to see when Lin Ying will explode!

Because really, Lin Ying hasn't broken out for so long, they have almost forgotten how terrifying the dominance of the current basketball god is!

Maybe, their opponent, the 76ers, also forgot, that's why Embiid's roar and the reaction after the roar were there.

But now, they see it again.

This is Emperor Lin!

Lin Ying's consecutive dunks boosted the morale of the Nets and plummeted the morale of the 76ers.

It is Embiid who plays the role at critical moments.

Although Jokic adopted a forward defense method this time, Embiid still relied on his thick body to get into position, and then received the ball and continued to play singles.

Embiid at this moment is very admirable, especially when he is still wearing such a thick protective gear on his knee.

He wanted to win, really wanted to.

He kept shaking left and right, as if he was going to finish by turning around and leaning back.

But in the end, he still used up and down steps, and once again used clever steps to squeeze Jokic away.

Then Lin Ying's help came again.

But this time Embiid was very smart. He first confronted Lin Ying, and then knocked the ball from Lin Ying's side to Simmons.

This ball is a great display of ability. Simmons has an excellent shot after receiving the ball.

However, just when he jumped up and was about to take action, Lin Ying turned around.

Lin Ying felt that the ball should not be interfered with, and he had already accepted the result of Simmons scoring.

After all, you can't guard against every attack your opponent makes.

But Simmons' next choice shocked everyone.

Facing the empty blue, he did not take action immediately, but jumped up and passed the ball back to Embiid!

Embiid didn't even react, and the attacking space on his side was too small!

When Lin Ying turned around and continued to flank him, he tried to take action to no avail and the ball went straight out of bounds!

Embiid's expression was desperate after seeing him take off his hand.

He smacked his mouth and looked at Simmons desperately.

Forget it if you don’t dare to shoot a three-pointer, but don’t dare to shoot a two-pointer from close range?

What is the reason for this? !
