Chapter 914 Xie Kai went to the 76ers?
So far this season, the Philadelphia 76ers have a solid record.They are currently ranked 4th in the East, and their position is very stable, and they even hope to hit the top 3 in the following games.This team has gradually changed from looking forward to the future to being based on the present, and the talents of the double emperors are slowly being realized.
In this game, the starting lineup of the 76ers at home is: center - Joel Embiid, power forward - Dario Saric, small forward - Robert Covington, shooting guard - — JJ Redick, point guard — Ben Simmons.
The overall height of the 76ers' lineup is very terrifying, which makes people have to think of the "big five dead" that domestic fans ridicule them.Although this lineup is not the top five of death, except for Redick (193cm), Covington, the shortest of the other four, also reached 4cm!
With small balls generally popular in the league, the overall height of the 76ers' lineup is indeed terrifying.Even if it weren't for today's league, the overall height of this lineup at the beginning of this century would be abnormal.
208cm Simmons playing point guard?This is basically the role of the Lakers magician in the "Show time era", and the role of the emperor is obviously against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
The starting lineup of the Thunder is still the Big Three + Duck + Patterson.Compared with the "Big Five of Death" of the 76 team, the Thunder's starting lineup does not have any advantage in height. The 196cm Xie Kai is no accident to match the 206cm Covington or the 208cm Simmons.
Wang Zixing said with a smile: "Mr. Su, the overall height of the 76 team's starting lineup is very tall! Will such a lineup affect their speed and shooting?"
Su Qun explained: "That won't happen. Regardless of the size of the 76 team, they are also very good at quick counterattacks. This Simmons' first pass is very fast, much like Magician and James. Embiid He and Saric are both young, quick on their feet, have physical strength and can run, so don’t worry about them playing very slow.”
Embiid and Duck are preparing to jump the ball near the middle circle, and the game is about to start.
The cheers were loud. Of course, today's high attendance is not entirely due to the 76ers' good record this season, but also because of the arrival of the defending champion Thunder.In addition to the Eastern Conference champions, other teams in the Eastern Conference can only see Xie Kai at home once a season, so it is very cherished to be able to see his game at home.
Xie Kai's popularity is not limited to Oklahoma City, Saskatchewan, Memphis, Los Angeles and other places. In Philadelphia, there are also a large number of K Honey Legion, who wear No. 22 Thunder or Gray from Wachovia Center Bears jersey fans can see why.
There are even 76ers fans who are recruiting Xie Kai on the spot. They hold up the words "We need God K" and so on, and they are recruiting him.
Of course, in theory, the 76ers are one of the few teams in the league that can have salary space to sign Xie Kai.Embiid has signed a five-year $5 million maximum salary contract this summer, but Simmons is still on a rookie contract, so the team only needs to operate a little bit to make room for a maximum salary and sign Xie Kai.
It's just that this is all theoretical. Does Xie actually go to the 76ers for a meeting?No one knows, but the possibility of him going is not as great as imagined.
Of course, once the 76ers add Xie Kai on the existing basis, they can upgrade Redick to Xie Kai, which is more terrifying than the Warriors upgrading Barnes to Durant.
In terms of the current strength of the 76ers, Xie Kai will undoubtedly open the championship window quickly and become a favorite for the championship.
The jump ball started, the emperor easily jumped the ball and won the duck egg, the 76ers won the first wave of offensive balls, and the game officially started.
Simmons slowly dribbles over.
Simmons was born in Melbourne, Australia, and graduated from Louisiana State University. In the 2015-16 season, he averaged 34.9 minutes per game, scored 19.2 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.8 assists, and shot 56% from the field. American Basketball Writers Association Player of the Year, All-American Rookie of the Year, Best Rookie in the Southeast Region, selected to the All-American College Basketball First Team, and the Southeast Region First Team.
Simmons was very famous in college. He made people compare him with James and Magician. He has become famous all over the world without playing a game in the NBA.
Especially in the summer league last year, Simmons showed his excellent physical fitness, super high ball quotient, and the passing vision that God rewards him with, which allowed him to quickly capture a large number of fans.It's just that he missed the entire 2016-17 season because of a foot injury.
Simmons is back this season, and he is currently averaging 15+8+8 per game. His talent has not been discounted because he has been out for a season.
It's just that his shortcomings are also obvious. He hardly shoots 3-pointers and has no sights.Not only did he not shoot 3-pointers, but he didn't even shoot much in the middle distance.His offense is either a conversion attack to hit the basket, or a positional battle to kill the basket with hooks, throws, dunks, and layups.No shots anyway.Not only did he fail to hit the ball, but his shooting posture was also weird, which made people feel like a beginner in basketball.
Of course, this shortcoming is very fatal, but Philadelphia fans are very calm, because Simmons is only 21 years old, and he still has a lot of opportunities and time to practice shooting.In their view, as long as his shooting is perfect, the East will be named Fei!
The positional battle of the 76ers is mainly to cooperate with Simmons and Embiid. Redick moves as an off-ball shooter, Covington steals chickens from the basket and open 3 points to open up space, and Saric is responsible. Walking around the restricted area.
The Thunder's defensive strategy is very simple and clear, which is to defend according to the position. The 191cm Westbrook directly matches the 208cm Simmons.
Wang Zixing felt a little strange, and he asked Su Qun: "Mr. Su, the Thunder let Westbrook play against Simmons. This height is too disadvantageous. Why don't they let Pickled Pepper play against?"
Su Qun explained: "Don't underestimate Westbrook's height of 191. He is very strong, and the average small forward can't hit him with his back. Do you know the Celtics' Smart? He is also in the early 1.9 meters With his height and strong body, he often defends the front line and sometimes the inside line. So don’t underestimate these guards. Now there is no center like O’Neal in the league. It must have taken some advantage. What’s more, Simmons has no 3-point ability at all, Westbrook can retreat to defend, and if he really comes in, he can also switch defenses with his teammates.”
On the 76ers side, it was true that Simmons killed Westbrook in the low post, but the latter slapped the ball off with a knife, and the ball went straight out of the baseline!
