Chapter 85 The First Showdown with KD
After resting for two games against the Heat
On the day Young was preparing to return to play the Rockets, he had a problem with his knee
"There is no structural damage and the soreness in the knee should be due to fatigue."

Because it was working hours, the MRI was done very quickly.

"It's best for him not to fight today, the soreness in his knees may disappear tomorrow;

I feel like he's reaching rookie fatigue. "Because it was a friendly collaboration, the MRI doctor gave his advice.

…………

…………

In everyone's perception, the Philadelphia 76ers this season are the team led by Yang Shannuo.
If he can't play, the rest of the rest can only beat a team like the Phoenix Suns

but

On March 3th, the Philadelphia 9ers without Young created a miracle

They beat James Harden's Rockets by 18 points.By the way, he also kicked the opponent from the eighth throne in the Western Conference, which had not been firmly established, to the ninth in the Western Conference, which missed the playoffs.

"We know this game is very difficult, so we are desperately trying to find open positions and biting opponents desperately at every opportunity."

McConnell, who scored 20 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists and 6 steals in the game, revealed the secret of their victory in an interview after the game.

On March 3th, facing the last repeater of this schedule
The 15th in the Eastern Conference, the Brooklyn Nets, Young is back

I don't know why, Yang's excitement in this game is extremely low
Although he made all 4 shots, if it weren't for the final foul tactic, Young would have almost lost the record of averaging double figures in 45 consecutive games to the Brooklyn Nets.

Although Young played mediocrely, Richaun Holmes and Grant both scored 20+ points to help the team's offense hold back.

On March 3, Young, who scored 15+ triple-doubles against Detroit in the previous game,
In this game against the Nets, he didn't play much on the offensive end
Contributed only 12 points and 8 assists in the game

But this one is different from the last one
4 steals and 3 blocks

Demonstrated the ubiquitous excellent ability of Yangxie defense.

March 3, evening, Wells Fargo Center,
Game 76 of the Philadelphia 69ers

Tonight they have the Oklahoma City Thunder as a guest
Didn't the Oklahoma City Thunder play a game?Still a close to 15 point win
Do not,
This time is different from the last time. This time the Oklahoma City Thunder has four scoring titles:
Kevin Durant

…………

…………

Young, Moore, Covington, Grant, Holmes
In the absence of injury and disease, the 76ers have been using this starting lineup after the trade
Westbrook, Roberson, Durant, Ibaka, Adams

This lineup that can both attack and defend, and is more capable of grabbing has already caused the Golden State Warriors, the number one in the West, to suffer.

"Let me do it" In order to grab the first wave of ball rights, Young chose to stand in the middle and jump the ball with Adams.

With a height of 2 meters and a bounce that is definitely not a display, Young easily defeated Adams.

After halftime the ball had to come into Young's hands

no way

Who allows the 76ers to control the ball only Young and McConnell
And McConnell's defense is not very suitable for playing at this level.

挡拆
Since there are no multiple ball-handlers, the 76ers can only play the roughest pick-and-roll drive

high delay
Since Donovan joined the Thunder in the summer, the high post delay has become his only option to defend the pick-and-roll
Opposite bottom corner
The Thunder's execution strategy + playmaker skill package in the last game was all complete, so it is natural to know where the problem of this high-level delay lies.

but

The Thunder did not recover the diagonal bottom corner this time to make up the penalty area, but put all their treasures on Adams' return speed

Dash

Even if Robertson is an energy-level defender, he can't give priority to shooting.

Stop the first step of Yang who is as fast as a knife
"ok" watching the quickly disassembled Holmes arrive in position
Young threw the ball toward the hoop

"Holmes..." The 76ers' home DJ called out his name, and there was only a trailing sound. Unexpectedly, there was an accident
A pair of long arms hit the lob pass.

"Kevin, I underestimated you."

Knowing another Ibaka's terrifying ability to grab rebounds, Yang, who stood on the outermost side, directly started to retreat towards his own half.
Watching Yang retreat, the other four followed suit.

But it was too late, the four of them were caught by Westbrook who got the ball

pass one by one

The challenges ahead are not troublesome for Westbrook

Troublesome thing, Young has already established a foothold outside the reasonable collision zone
Although I don't know what level his frame protection is.

But the height of 2 meters still gave Westbrook a deterrent, he began to reduce the sprint speed to find Durant's position
It has to be said that Durant is a good catcher, facing Westbrook's sudden pass

Without making any adjustments outside the three-point line, he directly completed the shot of a dry three-pointer
3:0
The death scythe completed its first swing tonight.

…………

…………

post up to grant
No one expected that the 76ers' second offense would be designed like this
But we can also know the extent to which the 76ers are lacking in main offensive resources.

Moore, cutter, spot-up shooter, catch-and-shooter

Covington, the main defensive gate on the outside, extremely unstable three-pointer

Grant, the freshly baked setter and unstable lubricant are Grant's most important labels so far.

Holmes, eat the simplest pie, make up the easiest basket, protect the basket as much as he can, and wait for Young, Covington and Lee's defense at any time
Anything else you're asking for, Holmes will most likely have to call 999

Because you are making things difficult for him.

Facing 4 players whose main attack is 0, the 76ers with a passing range

Can only play a little, the league is not mainstream
off ball cut
You Yang, a 45% top shooter, coupled with Moore's 38% top shooter,
And Holmes, the wall that's always covering the road

The 76ers found a chance before turning back 5 seconds
"Left 45 degrees" who made Robertson dislocate and entangle the protagonist?

It is naturally impossible for Durant with a high center of gravity to face Moore, who is not tall, so he can only let Westbrook face Moore at the second position.
but unluckily

The problem of Westbrook eating screens was strictly caught by Moore, who is good at going around screens.

"Dang" The Thunder's constant pull without the ball and the lack of touch at the beginning caused Moore to miss the first three-pointer.

However, this three-pointer is not a short rebound that centers like, but a long rebound that defenders can take.

"Mine." Westbrook was very happy to see the rebound landed in an area where he could get it with only one hand
"Snap" Just before Westbrook took the rebound, one hand lifted the ball into the air again

regain control of the ball
Young was surprised to find that in front of him was Kevin Durant

　Thank you for the no-smoke recommended tickets in the past
　　Then routinely ask for recommendations, collections, and rewards (yesterday I played the Bojin game...so...)
　　The next update time is on the 4th, and the latest is the 5th. The article with Durant should be the last long article of the 15-16 regular season.

　　What I'm struggling with now is how long should I write for the first round of the playoffs?
