Chapter 776

Chapter 776

Embiid succeeded in jumping the ball directly, and Simmons slowly crossed halftime with the ball.

Embiid's talent is really off the charts. Just from the perspective of height and wingspan, Embiid is better than Gobert.

What surprised Qin Yang even more was Simmons' performance.

Generally speaking, after a rookie gets the ball, they all want to make a single shot to prove themselves.

Not so with Simmons.

Simmons dribbled the ball slowly across the half court, as steady as a dog, and then Embiid stepped forward to make a screen pick-and-roll, Simmons spared Qin Yang and went straight to the inside.

Gobert assisted in the defense inside, and Simmons lobbed the ball to Embiid.

Qin Yang misplaced to defend Embiid.

Embiid confidently took the ball with his back, then turned and shot.

Qin Yang jumped high and barely interfered in place. Embiid's shot was a little bit off, and the basketball bounced out of the hoop, but Simmons rushed inside and shot directly after grabbing the rebound.

This simple cooperation shows the outstanding physical fitness and technique of the two.

Simmons is very stable. Although his shooting ability is not good, he has good finishing ability at the basket and good passing organization ability.

The name of No. [-] scholar lives up to the name.

Embiid dared to take a shot against Qin Yang at a medium and long distance. Although he didn't make it, he could feel that Embiid didn't throw it blindly from the look and movement of the hand.

It's really powerful.

And the next game also proved this point.

Although Qin Yang used defense to limit Simmons from the outside in the first quarter, Simmons occasionally used the cover to play his own offense.

As long as Qin Yang is avoided, Simmons played very well against Brogdon.

Even Simmons has a trick, a mid-range emergency stop jumper, which makes it difficult to defend.

Inside, Embiid performed better than expected.

Nurkic's singles with the ball directly rely on speed and footwork to break through. Although this footwork is not as good as Yao Ming and Olajuwon, it is definitely better than more than [-]% of the insiders in the league.

Gobert matched up, and Embiid forced a low single to score consecutively.

Gobert, who won the best defensive player last season, was beaten very helplessly.

In the first quarter, the Mavericks played steadily under the leadership of Qin Yang, but only 31-68 in a single quarter, leading by 3 points. This point difference was beyond everyone's expectations.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Mavericks continued to lead.

The Mavericks' lineup is strong in the depth of the lineup, not the starting lineup that really blows up the league.

The Mavericks lack a solid offense inside, and their coping ability is only so-so. Therefore, most of the offense is launched from the outside, like a wave of waves. Such an offense will be a little helpless when encountering a good defense. The 76ers' lineup may not seem strong, but it is very practical.

Embiid and Ben Simmons are very strong. Although there are still great flaws, they are worth looking forward to.

The 76ers' wing Covington also played well.

Covington got a long-term contract of tens of millions last season, and his performance is still stable, with stable shooting, excellent defense, and certain passing ability.

Such a 3D player is definitely every team's championship configuration.

In the substitute contest, Seth Curry played very well.

Last season, although Seth Curry had a contract, he didn't get much playing time.After PJ Tucker and Livingston left this season, Seth Curry almost became the only point guard, so he got playing time.

Excellent three-pointers, excellent off-ball movement, passing ability, at least from a certain point of view, Seth Curry is a weakened version of Stephen Curry.

During the bench time, Seth Curry scored 8 points in a row to help the team take the lead.

However, after Mitchell played, the Mavericks fell behind again.

Mitchell is very strong, and everyone can clearly feel this when training in the team, but Mitchell's technical characteristics are similar to Kobe to some extent. He seems to have no back-up singles ability, but Kobe who has a better three-pointer.

On offense with the ball, Mitchell blasted most of the Mavericks' substitutes.

Coach Carlisle even wanted to directly make Mitchell the team's best sixth man.

But Qin Yang refused.

When Mitchell played this time, he showed his immature side.

After getting the ball, he can only play singles by himself, with no tactical cooperation at all. After meeting Embiid in the paint, he was given two caps and his state was in a slump.

And without the ball, Mitchell didn't know how to play at all.

It can be said that Mitchell's off-ball ability is almost zero.

This is the biggest problem at the core of many NCAA teams. They are good at playing tactics with the ball, but not good at off-ball cooperation. In this case, it is difficult to make a head start in the NBA.

Fortunately, even if Mitchell is unfavorable offensively, he is still very hard on the defensive end.

A rookie, if he doesn't work hard on the defensive end, no one will really want him.

In the first half, the Mavericks were reversed at the last moment.

The perimeter combination of Mitchell and Seth Curry has too many flaws. It was targeted by Simmons and Embiid, and they wanted to cry without tears.

Half time.

Qin Yang stopped Mitchell:

"Donovan, don't worry, pay attention to how I play in the second half. If you want to become a superstar in the future, this is very important to you."

Qin Yang said with a smile, Mitchell was a little stunned and nodded.

It may be difficult for the Mavericks to keep Mitchell in the future, but it is enough to contribute to the Mavericks within four years of the rookie contract and get a good deal.

Therefore, Mitchell is strong, which is a good thing for the Mavericks.

At the beginning of the second half, the Mavericks lineup changed.

Inside, Gobert, the other four are Qin Yang, Durant, Brogdon and James Ennis.

This lineup has extremely strong outside passing and shooting capabilities.

Qin Yang holds the ball, and Brogdon and Qin Yang make a screen. After the screen, Brogdon moves, Qin Yang breaks through, and passes the ball directly when encountering the defense.

Durant got the ball, attracted the defense high, and passed it to running back James Ennis.

Ennis made another pass to Brogdon.

Brogdon made an open shot and went in like a dog.

Goal without difficulty.

But the tactical coordination and drills behind it are beyond the reach of most teams.

The 76ers attacked, and Qin Yang misplaced to defend Covington. Covington leaned against Qin Yang, failed to make a shot, and passed to Ben Simmons. Ben Simmons faced James Ennis, struggled with the fight, and finally passed to Durant.

The Mavericks attack.

Durant stepped forward and made a screen. After the screen, Qin Yang made a fake fax shot and shot almost open from beyond the three-point line.

Whoosh!

A three-pointer hit the net, and the Mavericks reversed the score.

The game is still going on.

But the third quarter was Mavericks time again.

The Mavericks' offense, offense and defense have reached a peak of balance, and most teams can't resist it at all. Perhaps the only shortcoming is that Durant needs to pay a lot.

But in this way, Durant's data is also very good.
