Chapter 309 Iron Man Butler

Embiid beat Siakam and gave the 76ers the opportunity to attack first.

This season, there are really few players who Siakam can't win in the jump. Embiid is one of the players who Siakam can't win in the jump.

Redick attacked the frontcourt, and Simmons actively reached out for the ball.

Lowry was defending Simmons, and Harris didn't know if he was sincere, so he deliberately ran the whole court to help Simmons pick and roll.

After Simmons made a breakthrough through the pick-and-roll, the defender in front of him was replaced by Ge Feng.

The fans all stood up and applauded them both.

"Ge Feng, I will definitely blow you up!"

Simmons yelled and then slammed into the inside.

Ge Feng has a clearer mind than Simmons, and he has no plans to single out Simmons on the court.

Simmons's shot was very reluctant, and he almost kept advancing against Ge Feng.

Lowry's timely supplementary defense delayed the advancing speed of the forced Simmons.

Ge Feng took advantage of the moment Simmons was about to join the ball, and slapped the racket off Simmons' hand.

Simmons froze for a moment.

Ge Feng's stealing ability is much stronger than when they practiced together in the off season.

Did Ge Feng preserve his strength during the off-season, or did Ge Feng improve again in the new season?

Simmons was very surprised. Anyway, Ge Feng intercepted him in the first matchup with Ge Feng.

In Simmons' heart, he always felt that he played better than Ge Feng.

But every time he confronts Ge Feng, he always seems to be very embarrassed by Ge Feng.

Lowry picked up the rolling ball and launched a fast break directly.

The 34-year-old Lowry's running speed is obviously not comparable to that of his peak period.

Redick and Butler come back to the defense surprisingly quickly.

Especially Butler, who is obviously a power forward, returned to the backcourt one step earlier than the team's No. 3 Harris.

Lowry was forced to slow down and then handed the ball to Ge Feng who followed up.

Ge Feng gestured for his teammates to start playing the elevator door tactics.

This season, Ge Feng has perfected the elevator door tactic that the Raptors used most last season.

Siakam's three-point shooting rate this season has increased to 44%. That is to say, Ge Feng can also add Siakam's three-point shooting ability when directing the elevator door tactics.

Siakam and Ibaka gave Ge Feng a pick-and-roll as usual, and after Lowry and Van Vleet screened each other, Van Vleet ran out of the opportunity.

At the same time, Ge Feng went inside to kill, and when he got to the free throw line, Ge Feng had already attracted three double-teams from the 76ers.

At this time, both Siakam and Van Vleet have the opportunity to catch the ball for a three-pointer. Ge Feng only needs to consider who to transfer the ball to.

Ge Feng handed the ball to Siakam who was closer to him.

Siakam made a three-pointer.

"Snapped--"

At this time, Butler jumped out of nowhere, and slapped Siakam's ball out of bounds.

The 76ers' bench exploded into a ball.

The substitutes waved towels one after another, and cheered for Butler in conjunction with the countless fans who shouted frantically at home.

Ge Feng frowned.

Butler's defensive enthusiasm is scary.

To some extent, Butler's defense is even higher than Leonard's.

If the reason for the failure of the 76ers last season was defense, then this season, with the addition of Butler, the 76ers will completely fill in the 7 defensive loopholes.

Few teams can limit the Raptors' elevator door tactics because few teams have a fool like Butler.

Butler is the type of player who knows exactly what to do.

He's not like most players in the league.

When Butler was playing, he never had such messy thoughts about whether he would make a fool of himself in case he was shown off.

Because of this, Butler can always complete unexpected classic defenses on the field.

The Raptors throw a foul in the frontcourt.

The 24-second attack time was delayed by Butler for less than 10 seconds.

The attack time was too short, and Ge Feng had no chance to organize his teammates. After receiving the ball and dribbling twice, he shot himself.

Ge Feng faced Harris' mid-range shot.

"boom."

The ball was really short.

Ibaka wanted to grab the offensive rebound, so he threw himself high in the sky.

The two sides struggled extremely in the first round.

It seems that the players on both sides are working hard, and they plan to fight for the victory from the first ball!
Embiid is the "Shark No. [-]" that fans have high hopes for. How could he lose defensive rebounds so easily.

Even though Ibaka threw himself to the ground, he couldn't take the rebound from Embiid.

The ball was switched, and the 76ers still let Simmons attack.

The core offensive point of the 76ers seems to be intended to be placed on Simmons.

Embiidella came out to pick and roll Simmons, and after the split, Simmons and Embiid's small cooperation.

Embiid and Simmons went down together.

Embiid jumped up and dunked directly after receiving a pass from Simmons.

Embiid collided with Ibaka in the air, but Ibaka couldn't hit Embiid at all. Embiid flew one meter with Ibaka and smashed the ball into the basket.

Ibaka fell to the ground, and the referee gave Ibaka a defensive foul.

Embiid punched each other excitedly, extremely excited.

Embiid's physical fitness is so good that Ibaka can't carry him at all.

And in addition to Embiid's physical fitness, his inside skills are also very solid.

Embiid can often show his soulful pace inside.

The hard one can carry the mountain, and the soft one can pull the rod. Such an Embiid is really difficult to be restricted by tactics.

The only way to sanction Embiid is double-teaming.

But double-teaming Embiid, the Raptors' perimeter defense will be empty, so Simmons and Redick's shots will be much easier.

So unless it is a last resort, Ge Feng will not easily let his teammates double-team Embiid.

I still have to play a few more balls and try it out.

Van Fleet's possession of the ball, Ge Feng raised to the top of the arc and organized his teammates.

The Raptors put out a V-shape, which is a new V-shaped vendetta developed by Ge Feng for the team.

The Raptors' players stood in a 122 formation. Ge Feng controlled the overall situation at the top of the arc. The Raptors' players picked and rolled each other, attracting all the 76ers' defense to the middle.

V for Vendetta is similar to the combination of starburst tactics and bombardment tactics. It can effectively increase the threat of three-point lines on both sides and mid-range shots.

The Raptors are a team that relies heavily on mid-range and three-pointers, so the Raptors have prepared a lot for tactics like the elevator door.

Ge Feng pointed at Butler, and the players quickly understood that this was to block Butler's position.

Siakam and Lowry directly clamped Butler up, and at the same time, Van Vleet got out of a gap Lowry left for him.

Ge Feng gave the ball to Van Vleet, and Van Vleet made a mid-range shot.

"Shh."

The fans in the stands let out a burst of exclamation.
