The 76ers took on the Nets
The Brooklyn Nets barely stayed in the top eight in the East, but everyone knew that wasn't the team's goal. When your team has Durant and Irving, you have to want more than just the playoffs. However, this season for the Nets, it can only be described as terrible. James Harden is gone, the traded Ben Simmons can not play, this game, Irving and Durant will join forces to challenge the Philadelphia 76ers, and now Harden and Embiid's team.
76ers head coach Riverstein said that in this game, there are four players with the best offensive players in the league. Rivers's remarks are not without reason, whether it is Irving Durant or Harden Embiid, they are among the best scorers in the same position, so the excitement of this game can be imagined. Alan Iverson, a famous star of the 76ers, also came to the scene to watch the game.
The Nets are prepared
Before the game, Harden and Durant Owen, Ben Simmons and Embiid, these old teammates did not greet each other, and it was obvious that the separation was not so decent, at least, there were complaints. Kevin Durant is like a ruthless executioner, after the first quarter of the game, the first five shots all hit, a single quarter with 11 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals, Irving also has 11 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and Curry Jr. is 9 points, 1 assist and 1 steal against the old owner. The Nets blasted down 40 points in the first quarter, which was simply unstoppable.
Facing the well-organized Brooklyn Nets in the face of such excellent offensive firepower, Embiid showed the style of a star, scoring 13 free throws in the first quarter, making 8 fouls for the Nets, getting 16 points and 4 rebounds, and also having a verbal altercation with Durant, but the referee came up in time to stop it. However, James Harden is in a bit of a bad state, only 3 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist on 1-of-6 shooting, in addition, only Maxy has scored points, 4 points and 1 steal on 2-of-5 shooting. At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers trailed the Nets by as many as 17 points 23-40.
Embiid tried his best
In the face of Irving and Durant's outbursts, Embiid really tried his best, but one person's strength is limited after all, plus the 76ers only hit 1 three-pointer in the first quarter, really can't resist the Nets' offense. The Nets shot 10 three-pointers in the first quarter, hitting 5 hits, and the feel of the hand can be imagined. Irving and Durant both scored 11 points to show off the style of the star, while Harden did not give Embiid enough help, only 1 of 6 shooting. If the 76ers want to win the game, Harden must next come up with a better performance.
Although the Nets lead by 17 points, there is also a big hidden danger, that is, foul trouble, Drummond and Brown both received 3 fouls, you know, this is only a quarter past. In the face of Embiid's continued offense, how should the Nets face it?
