Chapter 97 Effortless
In order to highlight the importance of the playoffs

Jan once again stood in the middle circle
A few seconds later, the duel was decided
Facing Hornets center Cody Zeller
Young won the jump ball duel with an all-around advantage.

Although Young is a point guard, he handed over the work of advancing the ball to Grant.

Grant, who has practiced distributing and holding the ball for a year, did not lose to the cultivation of the 76ers this year, and passed halftime safely under Lamb's harassment

hand-off
Because it was the playoffs, coach Brown specially emphasized before the game that it is necessary to protect the ball when handing over the ball.
"boom"

Young's Nicholas Batum hit the screen set by Grant directly.Faced with a godsend opportunity, Yang directly pressed the breakthrough button.

Cody Zeller embarrassed by Young's breakthrough
If you choose not to leave the penalty area, then the opponent will undoubtedly use an emergency stop jumper to solve the problem.

If he leaves by himself, the restricted area will be sieved; in the blink of an eye, Cody Zeller chose the tiger to leave the hole after the judgment was completed.

Watch the Hornets center pull out because of his own shot threat

Knowing what the opponent was thinking, Yang directly hit the ball on his right hand towards the left bottom corner

why not the bottom right corner
Because the bottom right corner is Kemba Walker staring at Moore, it is impossible for the Hornets to let him participate in the replacement work.

It can only be to let Marvin Williams, who is staring at the left bottom corner, fill in for the empty basket after Cody Zeller left.

"Beautiful pass, Young calculated everything." Marvin Williams just stepped away from Covington, and Young's pass reached Covington

"Swish" After 4 years, the Wells Fargo Center once again ushered in a playoff goal

0:3
high pick and roll
As the most used weapon in the regular season, the Hornets' first attack in the playoffs will naturally believe in what they are good at.

Flank
Richaun Holmes is not tall enough, and the 76ers can only flank in the face of high pick-and-rolls.

But as the fourth pick-and-roll ball handler in the world, Kemba Walker is not afraid of this group of attack at all.

back to the basket
Young guarding Marvin Williams directly put the opponent at a 45-degree angle
trust or distrust

Kemba Walker chose the latter

"It's over." Looking at the arc thrown by Kemba Walker, Yang knew that the ball must have been scored.

2:3
"Is our defense too easy to be broken?" Defensive assistant Billy Lanci frowned.

"Switching Courtney Lee to lock Kemba Walker is indeed possible. But then we will lose Moore's creation of tactics and his stable three-pointer. Against the Hornets, it is between offense and defense. We should focus on offense."

"Because Young's efficiency is better than Kemba Walker, we only need to make a fuss about offense." The chief assistant coach D'Antoni, who has basically confirmed his next home, spoke.

"Speed ​​up, speed up" After all, the team started with only one innocuous big man, Brett Brown confidently and boldly let Young increase his power to drive the offense

…………

…………

Brett Brown, who is a bright card on the defensive end, and Clifford, who only has a pick-and-roll card in his hand,
The two teams fought evenly in the first 6 minutes of offensive duel.

McConnell takes Grant, JaMychal Green replaces Holmes

Because McConnell couldn't be used more against the Cavaliers, McConnell's rotation time was relatively early.

With McConnell as the passer, the 76ers immediately started the duo of Moore and Young

It's not uncommon for Moore to roll and cut the ball and Young to screen for Moore.

But Young's broad shoulders directly caused a serious scratch to Lamb, who switched to Moore after McConnell came on the field.

Lamb, who can't grab the position, directly leads to Batum, who is not a defensive expert, but only because Marvin Williams is too bad, will face a 1v2 situation.

it's not bad

The bad thing is that Moore is too threatening, and Batum must first stop Moore's curling cut.

"Passed the ball?" Moore is clear about Batum's proficiency in throwing shots that ignore the defense, but he doesn't know about passing the ball.

As a small forward with a standard center figure, it is not a new skill that is difficult for Young to develop.

"Yang~~~~" For this new darling in Philadelphia, the Philadelphia DJ also gave the best treatment.

1 minutes later

Although in this 1 minute, the 76ers successfully counterattacked twice

But the inevitable positional battle still came.

In view of the success of the last tactic, the 76ers once again made the same starting move in this round:

Moore takes advantage of Young's size advantage
round cover

Lamb, who hit the screen last time, chose to circle this time.

At this moment, the problem that the Hornets do not have an excellent defender at the second position is completely exposed: because going around the screen will give Moore, who has a 39.7% three-point shooting rate in the regular season, a huge shot space.

How can Moore refuse to accept such a gift from God.

…………

…………

59:66
The two teams that played against each other showed their offensive talents in the first two quarters

as well as:

Poor defense

"In the second half, Courtney started for Richaun." As a fake starter who played only 15 minutes, Holmes didn't have any complaints.

"When Kemba Walker plays the pick-and-roll, Jerami, Robert goes up the line to delay, delay Kemba Walker's speed and pay attention to the control of the pass line."

"I'll take the next player." Without Embiid, Brett Brown can only use Young's defensive end as Draymond Green.

"If Kemba Walker can still lead the team or kill the Quartet, then the pick-and-roll will switch defenses."

"I?"

"You don't need to change, just delay and wait for Kemba Walker's Lee to return." Because Moore is the defensive weakness of this lineup, the 76ers naturally avoid him being picked. "

76ers change
The effect was seen in the first leg of the second half

Big delay against Robert Covington

Kemba Walker concedes the ball

The 76ers made defensive strategy adjustments to Kemba Walker, and the Hornets, who could see the shadow of victory, would naturally not wait for the disadvantages. They attacked the 76ers with a 32.9% usage rate.

Seeing the Hornets attacking him, Yang especially wanted to complain:
The Cavaliers are so fond of attacking the line, the team is not very fond of Paul George
Where do you get the courage from the Hornets to clip a 2-meter ball-handling wing with almost full pass control skills.

Is it Nicholas Batum?
Sorry, his ability is not enough to give you courage.

As the 76ers limited some of the Hornets' offense, and the Hornets' defense did not affect the 76ers' offense, the point difference slowly went from 7 points to 12 points.

After the point difference came to 12 points, Ismael Smith, who was facing the former owner, suddenly attacked and scored consecutive three-pointers.The shrinking lead did not panic Brett Brown, as he believed Young could figure things out.

indeed
Without a defender of Iguodala's level
Young can handle the bottom of the offense
With Young's 12 points in a single quarter, the 76ers finished three quarters, and the lead has gone from 7 points to 15 points.

The Hornets still wanted to resist in the fourth quarter, but their proud second lineup was broken by Jamichael Green's 3 points and 3 points.

The loss of the second team completely made the Hornets lose their determination to make a comeback
116:97
In the case of Young not scoring 30 points, the 76ers won the first victory of the series.

"How does it feel to be in the playoffs?" Young, with 25 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists, deservedly became the best player of the game.

"Similar to the regular season, the Hornets didn't make us feel the intensity of the playoffs. You see, I scored 10 points in 25 shots." Because it was a penny-pinching playoffs, Young put away his sympathetic expressions.

"What do you think about the next game?"

"No matter how the opponent adjusts, the victory will belong to the Philadelphia 76ers."
