Mark Stein
According to sources, Young will not go to Cleveland but will stay in Philadelphia to recover from his finger injury.

18:30, one hour before the start of the game

Brett Brown: The Philadelphia 76ers' starters today are:

McConnell, Moore, Covington, Grant, JaMychal Green.

…………

"32 points (29%), 35 points (29%), 46 points (43%), 37 points (31%), these are Young's scoring contributions in the first four games." Because of doubts about Young's game (because Embiid, Landry, and Marshall are reimbursed for the season, Philadelphia does not need to put anyone on the inactive list), the pre-match analysis of G5 naturally fell on Young.

"In short, everyone in Philly now needs to be able to take 32% of Young's possessions and 62.7% of the points scored with a 30% true shooting percentage."

"Unless there are Paul George or Leonard in this team, if it is based on the current personnel composition of Philadelphia, they can't eat the output of the second team of the best team, and they can't even eat the output of the quasi-All-Star."

"Especially when the Cleveland Cavaliers are still facing a 1:3 deficit, it is impossible for James and Irving to let go of such a great opportunity," said Mark Jackson, who was very pessimistic about the situation in Philadelphia.

"Mark, you're right. It's time for Philadelphia to reshuffle in the summer. Except for Embiid, who hasn't played for two years, Philadelphia only has high-quality starting Covington and ordinary rotation McConnell in the right position." Jeff Van Gundy talked about the construction of the 76ers.

"Jeff, it's redundant, it's redundant, we don't need to worry about Philadelphia's future, after all, they still have a 15.6% chance of winning the No. [-] pick this year.

Swallowing the rubbish contracts of Landry, Stauskas, and Jason Thompson (replacing Gerald Wallace) in the summer gave the 76ers a huge gain; while they were playing in the Eastern Conference semifinals, they enjoyed the draft benefits brought by the King’s No.3 in the regular season. The first-round exchange rights obtained in the transaction will take effect, and the 3ers' own first round will be exchanged with the first round left by the Kings). "

"The top two are strikers, and none of the latter are five-star potential stocks. If I really want to draw the top three picks, I have to find a home for this pick." Philadelphia, a middle-aged man who was watching the live broadcast, began to complain unceremoniously.

"It's cold." The middle-aged man who wanted to drink after complaining, picked up the cup and found that the cup of brewed tea in front of him was already cold.

…………

Contrary to what the ESPN trio predicted, the Philadelphia 76ers' offensive development has basically reached the end of its rope.

In addition to "stealing" a few three-pointers with the Spanish pick-and-roll at the end of the first quarter, the only thing left was Moore interspersed from the screen group to seize the gap of less than a second.And McConnell's pick-and-roll with the ball made a mid-range shot.

It has to be said that without Young, the referees loosened the spell on the Philadelphia 76ers, and at the same time gave the 76ers room to give full play to the flanking.

Fully untie the role players, and also give the Cavaliers role players who have been depressed for four games a lot of three-point opportunities.

48:69
With role players shooting 27-for-12 from 21-point range, Cleveland had a [-]-point advantage.

At the same time, the flight distance to Philadelphia was shortened to 12 minutes.

…………

what to do?Can't do it!
How to deal with it?Can't solve it!
Watching Covington and Moore panting on the bench;
Brett Brown has nothing to do, after all, his team must rely on Young's performance in every aspect to win the Cavaliers.

The offensive end not only needs to rely on Young to offset James' output, but also eat a little of Irving's output by the way,

More importantly, this is not enough. With only one and a half ball holders in the team, the other eight people need to use their own influence to feed them.

Not only the offense, but the defense also points to Young to pinch, although others can pinch the passing line.

But LeBron James still needs to be pinched by Young himself:

After 4 games, 26+6+5, 39.9 field goal percentage, such a defensive efficiency, apart from giving Young a 666, the other 76ers have nothing to contribute.

As for Irving, except for being pinched by Yang when the feeling is overwhelming

At other times, the 76ers can't control the backup penalty player in the Cavaliers system.

"Do your best and leave no regrets." Brett Brown, who didn't change his tactics, could only pour "chicken soup", and at the same time replaced Hollis Thompson, hoping that the other party would bring him a winning text message.

…………

…………

surprise?

Sorry, I won't give it to you.

Although the 76ers recovered some points early in the fourth quarter

but

Owen, who returned to the game after only a 3-minute break,
Immediately and mercilessly began his offensive museum performance.

——Facing the situation where the pick-and-roll was dismantled, he completed a strong shot against Jerami Grant's defense.

— Run around the screen, get rid of Courtney Lee, complete the jump ball around the screen
——In the high-speed counterattack, look for Love's cover, and attack the frame with one dragon.

——Receiving a pass from LeBron James, chasing at 45 degrees for a three-pointer

——Facing Jerami Grant in the pick-and-roll, a light layup with a change of hands not only got the point but also drew a foul from Jerami Grant.

——Facing Covington's single defense, he stepped back for a three-pointer after completing the buzzer.

After Irving made these dazzling offensive operations, the 76ers didn't even have a second hand;
In addition to accepting and can only accept the consequences of losing.

78:99
76人在第五场输球，让比分从1:3来到了2:3
"Is Young's injury serious?" Because of Young's absence, Brett Brown, who had no players to bring, could only answer reporters' questions by himself.

"The doctor's suggestion is to rest for two more days, so we accepted it." The ambiguous answer is the most suitable routine at this time. After all, the 76ers need Yang.

"Will Yang play in the sixth game?" This is obviously a stunned reporter.

"It depends on the situation, so today I don't know. You can ask tomorrow's me, and I may be clear at that time." Regarding Young's situation, it is impossible for Brett Brown to let people figure out.

"What do you think about this loss?"

"Without Yang, this loss is normal, so there is no need to investigate the loss too much"

　There is a problem with the timeline of the last chapter, I have changed it, this is my problem

　　How is the style of this chapter?It doesn't matter if you don't answer,
　　By the way, this is the chapter promised to Owen

　　If you don't block it, I will update it. After all, I have to fulfill the promise of 60 listings.

　　After all, if you make a promise, you have to keep it.
