Chapter 207 First Battle: Washington
On the evening of October 10, Washington.

Facing the cold wind, the bus of the Philadelphia 76ers is getting closer and closer to the Capital One Arena

Capital One Arena? ? ?
Yes, the Washington Wizards changed the name of their arena from the Verizon Center to Capital One a few months ago in the summer.

"What was your feeling before the first game of your rookie season???" Faced with the thinking of Tatum sitting next to him, Young looked out the window.

"Looks like I can't tell you how I felt at the time. I remember I was arguing with Isaiah Thomas Jr. on social media about the focus of the spotlight..." Young, who looked out of the window, couldn't give a formal answer.

"Follow the coach's requirements, and the data in the first game is normal." Seven preseason games, three games have double-doubles, and Tatum has actually done well enough.

"It's almost here." Fans wearing Washington Wizards jerseys began to appear one after another on the side of the street.

"The Washington Wizards' operations in the summer are basically based on minor repairs. Their biggest operation is to match the four-year 4 million maximum salary contract provided by the Brooklyn Nets to Porter." There is no championship ring in this game, so I will mainly introduce the summer operations of the two teams.

"Unlike the Washington Wizards who made minor repairs, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Eastern Conference champions, made drastic adjustments in the summer."

"According to the preseason, Tatum's offense meets the requirements of the 76ers."

"The starters on both sides are out." As the lights of the Capital No. [-] Arena were turned off, the entry ceremony for both sides began.

Philadelphia 76ers: Brogdon, Richardson, Tatum, Young, Sabonis Jr.

Embiid's knee injury still prevented him from catching up with the first regular season game.

Between the poor Amir Johnson and the young potential stock Sabonis Jr., Monty Williams chooses to believe in young people

Washington Wizards: Wall, Beal, Porter, Markieff Morris, Gortat

The starting lineup for the Washington Wizards is the same as it was in the playoffs a few months ago, without any changes.

Sabonis Jr., Gortat on the middle circle.With Embiid out, Monty Williams handed over the jump ball to Sabonis Jr.

"beep"

As Spalding was thrown high into the air by the center circle referee, the centers on both sides reacted.

Sabonis Jr. or Gortat? ? ?

Sabonis' hand
The young and energetic Sabonis hit the jump ball before Gortat.

Waiting to be seated

When Sabonis fell to the waist, Brogdon handed over the ball.

cross run
There is no change from the starting hand half a year ago, it is still the same old

Make bait with a range, cast it if you don’t eat it

Cut to the basket after eating

Wizards can't make defensive changes? ? ?
Monty Williams said that according to their current lineup, there is no way to make changes.

"Wall and Morris, all went after Brogdon."

"Bill's return to defense was also a bit slower."

In less than five seconds, the three-second zone of the Washington Wizards changed from a sea of ​​people to a deserted one.

Tatum who made up for Wall? ? ?

Richardson at the basket

the basket
As a representative of a slow center, Gortat can only choose to give priority to protecting the basket.

pass, left corner

Catching the ball and making a fixed-point three-point shot, Tatum completed this set of movements smoothly.

The Oklahoma City Thunder's space-based interior usage is obviously a misplaced use of Sabonis Jr., and the No. 5 play style of low post + pass support is his instruction manual.

cover + rush
Facing the frame guard of Sabonis Jr., Wall's problem-solving method is very simple and rude

no defense
Even when squeezed into the free throw line, the 76ers did not move their forces away from others and back to the basket.

"Is Wall's leg hurt?" Sabonis Jr.'s interference was not very good, but Wall was blocked by the basket.

快攻
Yang, who took away the short rebound, began to increase his speed.

"I'm here." Brogdon can shoot if he wants to. As a fast-break three-pointer, Yang can also understand the feeling of wanting to shoot.
hit
In the blink of an eye, the Philadelphia 76ers have already 6-0 the Washington Wizards

"With the help of Gortat's screen, Bill made a jumper around the screen." Unlike Wall, Bill seems to have a good shooting touch today.

"Slow down, slow down, there's no need to play so fast." The advancing speed was so fast that Monty Williams had to run to the sidelines to remind him.

Brogdon, whose shooting range has also been tested, ran to Gortat and Sabonis Jr. as soon as he saw the ball pass the half court.

{Jason over here} Brogdon decided to muddy the waters in this area a little more.

cover
The mixed use of true and false screens caused Gortat, Wall, Morris, and the defensive communication between the three to have problems again.

three-point line? ?Wall is here! ! !

basket? ?Gortat is here! ! !

What about Big Morris? ?He is under the basket! ! !
Passing the ball, since Morris has given the opportunity, how could Young's pass not be in place?
Catch and shoot
hit
8:2
"Spot-on three-pointers, mid-range jumpers. Tatum's variety of offensive methods highlights the choice of Philadelphia to choose him."

The mobility of Sabonis under the basket and the backcourt rebounds are not as good as Embiid, who has not gained weight, so that the Washington Wizards have found a solution in the middle distance.

Morris and Porter scored two shots for the Wizards in exchange for 2 points.

"I'll do it." Yang, who seemed to have seen something, quickly picked up Spalding.

"Is there someone under the basket???" The Washington Wizards who retreated did not realize that there was a 76ers hiding under the basket.

"Di" Facing the flying back defensive player, Tatum "shot"
"Foul No. 2, 2 free throws." The referee's whistle rang in time.
