Chapter 792

The starting lineups of both sides will be released soon.

For the 76ers at home, center-Joel Embiid, power forward-Dario Saric, small forward-Robert Covington, shooting guard-Gerald Hen Dessen, point guard -- Sergio Rodriguez.

No. [-] pick Ben Simmons will miss the game due to injury.

The Thunder's starting lineup for the away game is: center - Steven Adams, power forward - Erson Ilyasova, small forward - Paul George, shooting guard - Xie Kai, point guard - —Russell Westbrook.

This is the Thunder's first regular season appearance after forming the new Big Three, and this is also the first time this starting lineup has played in the regular season.

Today's attendance rate is very good, it would be great if it is like this all season.But obviously, with the lineup of the 76ers this season, unless young people such as Embiid rise rapidly, the record may not be good.The record is not good, and with the urgency of the team's management, they shouldn't hesitate at all.

Aquaman Adams and Embiid are preparing to jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.

It stands to reason that Embiid is no longer a rookie. This season is already his third NBA season, but because he was recovering from injuries in the first two seasons, this season is strictly speaking his rookie season.The reason why the 3ers are willing to wait for him to rise is because his talent is so outstanding.He is known as a monster inside with the footsteps of big dreams, Duncan's defense and O'Neal's dominance.

What's the point of waiting for two years for this level of talent?For the 76ers, the past two years have just been bad, so why not find some helpers for Embiid.

At the start of the jump ball, the emperor easily beat the Aquaman with the jump ball, and the 76ers won the first wave of offensive balls, and the game officially started.

Rodriguez slowly dribbles over.

Coach Brett Brown belongs to the Spurs department, and his team also focuses on team offense.He asked the players to transfer the ball. Players without the ball should not stand stupidly, move up, or cover or cut air, just don't hold the ball alone, and 4 people watch.

So even though the Philadelphia 76ers have been poor in the past few seasons, their offense actually looks decent, not like acting for the sake of acting.

The 76ers made a transfer, and here Covington made a mid-range shot-short!
Neptune protected the rebound and handed it to Westbrook to advance.

Westbrook advanced and organized an offense at the top of the arc.

Neptune came up to pick and roll, Westbrook broke through and thanked the outside line.

Xie Kai also gave it to the pickled peppers on the other side!

Pickle hesitated for a moment, then walked...

For the 76ers, Embiid missed the Aquaman under the basket, but Saric made a tip-up!

The 76ers scored first!

On the Thunder side, Westbrook made a mistake when scoring the ball, and the 76ers steal the ball and counterattack!

Gerald Henderson fouled Xie Kai for a layup and made two free throws!
The 76ers lead 4:0!

Here, Xie Kai passed the ball to Adams on the inside, and the latter had a buttery hand and went out of bounds...

The Thunder didn't score a point in the start, and they have already made 3 turnovers, and their performance was a bit eye-catching.

Wang Zixing was a little puzzled: "Mr. Yang, this is how the Thunder team is playing. Does it feel awkward?"

Yang Yi explained: "Everyone played too modestly and wanted to create opportunities for the opponent. They were not decisive enough at the end, and they didn't have clear points for holding the ball and receiving points. Generally speaking, they are not familiar enough and need to be adjusted."

Thunder coach Billy Donovan didn't call a timeout either. He rubbed his chin on the sidelines, as if thinking about something.

The 76ers didn't have much pressure, and they played very well as a team. The ball was moved around, quite like the "Eastern Spurs".

It's just that although the Thunder made many mistakes on the offensive end, their defense was still online. The 76ers' offense is a bit threatening except for Embiid's inside play, and other players can't play singles.

Wang Zixing sighed: "The Thunder's defense is really good."

Yang Yi nodded: "There are Xie Kai and Paul George on the flanks, and Adams on the inside. Their current defense is at the same level as the Grizzlies."

The two sides played for almost 4 minutes, and the score was not high. The 76ers at home took a 7:4 lead.

The Thunder called for a timeout, and the 76ers cheerleaders came up and danced.

Pause back, the game continues.

After the timeout, the Thunder's offense improved slightly. They used their personal abilities to attack forcefully.It's just because the outside touch is not good, so the score has not caught up.

The Thunder fans at the scene watched anxiously. Why did the Big Three not play as strong as expected? They seemed to be more like rookies than the opposing young team!
Halfway through the first quarter, the Thunder made substitutions, Singler came up to replace Pickle, and Kanter came up to replace Adams.

After Kanter came up, the Thunder's inside offense strengthened.

Xie Kai lamented that if Adams and Kanter could become one person, it would really be an insider with excellent offense and defense, just like Duncan.

It's a pity that the team sometimes struggles when using it. Adams' offense can only eat cakes, while Kanter's defense is often targeted.

The Thunder's arrangement is to let Pickle play first, and then Xie Kai will play again. When it comes to the second lineup, let these two players bring the substitutes.

Both Xie Kai and Paojiao didn't feel good in the first quarter, and they each made two turnovers, which was also one of the reasons why the team fell behind.

Instead, Westbrook led the team alone, and together with those old teammates, slowly caught up with the score.

The Thunder's second team is Xie Kai, Robertson, Pickle, Singler and Kanter.

The Thunder let Xie Kai play point guard in the second team because they did not have a particularly good backup point guard.Their backup point guard is rookie Christon, who was the No. 2 rookie in the second round in 2014. He has average talent but a good attitude.

The Thunder have a lot of wing players, so it seems more reasonable for Xie Kai to push him to the point guard position.

The 76ers' second team is Stauskas, Jeremy Grant, Jahlil Okafor, Holmes and TJ McConnell.

The personal scoring ability of the 76ers' players is really poor, so even if they play well offensively, they can create opportunities, but they can't end them.

Therefore, despite many turnovers and poor offense, the Thunder still did not fall behind, and the scores of the two sides have been biting.

At the end of the half, the 76ers at home still led by 48 points at 46:2.

Xie Kai only made 7 of 2 shots in the first half, made 4 of 3 free throws, scored 7 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. The data is a bit ordinary, and he also made 3 turnovers, which is a bit eye-catching. .

The scores of both sides are very low, which seems to be offensively constipated in the current situation where the league is increasingly advocating offense.
