Chapter 676 Chapter 674: The finale is coming?

Joel Embiid has always been an outspoken person. He has never shy away from making some controversial remarks on social media and in front of the public.

Therefore, before the start of this special game, Embiid frequently attacked Henson.Sometimes, this kind of youthful enthusiasm is really enviable.

But now, Embiid wishes he never said those provocative words to Henson.Because of the result of today's game, it was too miserable for Embiid.

He made 18 of 5 shots, 16 points, and his shooting percentage was as low as 27.7%.When the camera caught on Embiid's face, his expression had fully expressed his frustration.

As an inside player, his shooting percentage is only 27.7%, which is undoubtedly a disastrous game.What is even more disastrous is that he was still showing off his power before the game.

Fortunately, Embiid wasn't the only awkward player today.His good teammate Ben Simmons was also completely destroyed by the Pacers' defense.

Only 8 points were scored in the game, and the shooting percentage was 50%.It seems that although Simmons scored low, his shooting percentage was still very good.However, in fact, this is because Simmons was almost prevented from shooting, so this decent shooting percentage appeared.

But when the 76ers need to score and someone needs to step up, Ben Simmons has almost disappeared.Therefore, Zhuangyuan Lang's performance today can be described as dismal.

At the end of the game, the electronic buzzer sounded throughout the audience, which brought the two dull-eyed young men back to their senses.

Embiid looked up at the big screen at the scene, and then lowered his head lonely.

126比113，步行者队在主场以13分之差击溃了费城76人。整场比赛从第二节开始，76人就一直被死死压制着。

Jimmy Butler walked off the court tiredly. He looked at Embiid and Simmons and found it hard to say.

Compared with Wiggins and Towns, Embiid and Simmons played hard enough and were very eager to win.But in front of Henson, these two little guys are still too tender.

When Embiid and Simmons were locked up, Jimmy Butler launched a crazy personal attack.It's a pity that one punch is hard to beat four hands after all.What's more, with George's focused defense, Jimmy Butler's scoring efficiency is not too high.

The new leader of the 76ers shook his head in disappointment. He thought that after today, he would completely shake off the shadow of Henson Joe.

But unexpectedly, the final outcome was the same as before.Whether in the Bulls, Timberwolves or 76ers, Jimmy Butler has never been able to win at the Bankers Life Arena.

The shadow of Henson Joe may really only dissipate after he retires.
Embiid stood up and was about to walk into the player tunnel, but was stopped by a sideline reporter.There is no doubt that, as one of the key players in this game, Embiid will definitely be interviewed whether he plays well or not.

"Joel, you said before the game that you and the team will break the Pacers' dominance. So, how do you evaluate the result of this game?"

"We lost, it's that simple." Embiid waved his hand impatiently, then squeezed past the camera.

But soon, another reporter found him again.

"Joel, how do you evaluate your performance today? Do you think your performance is worthy of your pre-match ambitions."

Embiid was crying. He really wished that there was a hole for him to jump into now, so that he could escape the embarrassment of being slapped in the face by reporters forever.

It's just a pity that no matter how powerful Embiid is, he doesn't have the ability to dig holes in an instant.

"I had a bad day today. Well, I admit it. I was locked into the Pacers strategy, and I was completely lost. They are strong, stronger than we think! I want to break them, I have to work harder."

In the end, Embiid had to compromise with reality.Sometimes, even the most proud person must lower his proud head.

People call Embiid the "Great Emperor", and today, even the "Great Emperor" must bow to the godfather of basketball in Indianapolis!

After the game, Henson returned to the locker room and immediately turned on the TV.Sure enough, Embiid was being interviewed live on TV.

"Hahahahaha, look at this guy's expression, he's about to cry!"

"Boss, this move of yours is really ruthless and merciless."

"You have to let him know how powerful it is, otherwise he will never know what it means to shut up."

In the locker room, the Pacers players taunted Embiid.Of course, Henson must be the one who felt the happiest.

The biggest capital of the 76ers is undoubtedly the young talents of Embiid and Ben Simmons, two top talents.And I made those two top talents completely misfired in one go, which gave Henson a great sense of accomplishment.

Most of this month's hard schedule has passed. Against the Raptors, Celtics and 76ers, the Pacers' record of 2 wins and 1 loss can be regarded as meeting Henson's psychological expectations.

Therefore, as long as you work hard and earnestly enough, there is no difficulty that you cannot overcome.Even though, this is Henson Joe's last season.Even now, he must take care of his health and his family.

At the press conference after the game, Henson also greeted the reporters with a smile on his rare face.No way, who made him feel good?
"Who else wants to challenge our Eastern supremacy? Just try it. I promise, we will use our best side to deal with your challenge."

Henson knows he has found his footing yet again in this year's competitive East.Unless other teams are traded in the mid-term to strengthen reinforcements, otherwise, there will still be no team this year that can prevent him from reaching the top in the Eastern Conference.

※※※

After the battle between the Pacers and the 76ers, the entire Eastern Conference fell into panic again.Because many teams suddenly discovered that they made so much effort last summer and added so many good players, but they still couldn't compete with the Pacers.

Overnight, rumors about the reinforcements of various Eastern Conference teams began to fly in the sky.There are rumors that the Raptors began flirting with Gasol Jr.It was also reported that the Philadelphia 76ers are very eager to get Tobias Harris.

These two teams are very clear that with their current strength, it is difficult for them to beat the Pacers in the series.And the only thing they can do is to continue to reinforce!

The Pacers sent the East into a trade frenzy, perhaps for the first time in league history.All the teams frantically strengthened in the middle of the season, just to defeat an opponent.

Although the situation in the East is now becoming turbulent, Henson has put his attention on the West. In January, one of Henson's most feared opponents will start his performance.And this team is precisely a Western team.

That's right, Henson has put all his attention on the five-star warriors!
The super team with five all-stars as the starting lineup is coming!
On January 1, two days after the game between the Pacers and the 19ers.Today, the Pacers will go far west.It's just that their opponent is the Dallas Mavericks who have no desire for the playoffs.

Although the Mavericks went to the lottery this season, they still attracted much attention.First, because their super rookie Doncic is very eye-catching.Secondly, this year is Dirk's last season, so every game of his can always attract the attention of most fans.

As the defending champion, it is actually not difficult for the Pacers to defeat the now weak Mavericks.Therefore, for most of the game, Henson handed over the command to Becky Harmon, his future successor.

And Henson himself was listening to McMillan's report from time to time.Henson is in Dallas, but his heart has already flown to Los Angeles.

At the same time, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, at least half of the basketball fans all over the world focused their attention on it.

Warriors VS Clippers, this is just an ordinary regular season.But at the same time, this is also a not-so-normal regular season.

Because in the starting lineup of the Warriors, people saw the No. 357 big man who had been away from the stadium for 0 days and now returned with a high profile-DeMarcus Cousins!
Curry, Thompson, Durant, Green and Cousins, all got goosebumps when this fantastic starting lineup stepped onto the court.

Although this is the Clippers' home court, even some local Los Angeles fans can't help but start screaming when the Warriors' starting five appear.

Maybe even the chairman of the Clippers' basketball affairs, "LOGO man" Jerry West, couldn't manage such a dream-like lineup.

After Cousins ​​came out, he stared fiercely at his opponents.This big guy is ready to make the NBA finale come earlier.

And he also managed to attract Henson's attention.So much so that he didn't pay much attention to the game with the Mavericks.
