The Pacers' game in the second half was relatively easy, but because of a period of injury to Gordon and the loss of double guards in the first half of the season, they have lost 12 games so far. It is impossible to win more than 72 games. In this game, they naturally won the Pacers' signings. However, at the same time, they wanted to win the Rockets with their tired body. For the Pacers, they also paid a lot in this game.

In the next game, he faced the 76ers again this season. This time the Pacers were at home, but Linson and Oladipo both missed the game.

The pain in the buttocks and the pain in the waist are the injury report given by the Pacers. They united and won the Rockets. First, they wanted to know about this opponent who might appear in the finals, and second, because of the MVP battle, they had to help Lin Sen win this game.

After winning such a game, facing a strong playoff rival like the 76ers, they instead gave the two core players a break and used other lineups to deal with the 76ers who are likely to meet in the playoffs.

With less than 15 games left in the regular season, the ranking of the Eastern Conference is getting clearer and clearer. The Pacers ranked first in the Eastern Conference, with 6 wins ahead of the second Celtics, which basically determines the rhythm of the first in the Eastern Conference. Now the 76ers are ranked fifth, with only one win away from the fourth Raptors, and they are a little bit worse than the third Cavaliers and the second Celtics.

Then the Pacers are likely to meet one of the Raptors and 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. The Raptors are okay. Not to mention how the Pacers swept the Raptors in that round of last year's series, they only talk about the few matches in the regular season this year, which are basically the Pacers' crushing.

But the 76ers were different. Linson defeated the opponent's dual core in the first game. Gordon was not present in the second game, Bogdanovic was absent. The Pacers, who had two main players, were taken away by Reddick in the last moment. The game was taken away by two three-pointers.

The rest of this game is one of the Pacers' goals. They do not reveal their combat power. Using the second lineup, you can see the tactics of the 76ers who have been getting stronger this year without a month.

The situation throughout the game was unexpected. In the first half, the Pacers, without Linson and Oratibo, were still hard to match with the 76ers, which made the 76ers coach Brown roar at the field again and again. If he couldn't even beat this lineup, he doubted whether he would receive a notice of get out of class after returning to Philadelphia.

Grant performed very well in this game. He is still the core point of Simmons, the main ball handler who defends the 76ers. Although he did not have Lin Sen's help in the inside, he obviously had a lot of experience in defending. He has always controlled Simmons so that he rarely entered the area with lethality.

Fortunately, in the second half, it was obvious that the 76ers lineup was stronger and they quickly gained a lead. Embiid continuously educated Turner in the interior.

When they returned to their home court, the Pacers gave their fans a defeat, but it seemed that their players had long been planning to lose this game, which was wrong! Not only the players, but even fans had already thought that they would lose this game when Lin Sen and Oladipo were absent.

"Myers! I said that Joel is difficult to deal with. Let's talk about his feelings." In the fourth quarter, he was already 18 points behind. In less than half a quarter, Lin Sen appeared behind Turner with a smile, and then he pressed his shoulders tonight, who scored 17 points and 8 rebounds for 35 minutes tonight.

Lin Sen's question means killing people. If there is no accident, Embiid today is the best in the game and even the best data in all games today. 41 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks. It would be fine if Turner did not stop it on the defensive end. When Turner came off the court, the center of the Pacers' third lineup came on the court, it would be a disaster. Of course, Turner did not have much effect on the court.

"Excellent footsteps, excellent wingspan, soft touch, and strong upper limb strength!" This was a game that made Turner realize the gap between himself and the league's top center, and also more aware of the gap between himself and Lin Sen. In the last game, Lin Sen suppressed Embiid in all aspects, making both cores of the entire 76ers not in the normal operation range. Without Lin Sen in this game, Embiid became the one who grew up in the lion group.

"When you meet the 76ers in the playoffs, do you want to try to defend him?" Lin Sen continued to speak with a smile.

But now this smile turns into a smile in Turner's eyes. Are you kidding? You just sat on the bench and watched this game. What are you talking to me now? Let me go to the main defense of Embiid, are you planning to make him average 35 per game in the playoffs?

"This may be a bit difficult, and the playoffs are different from this game." Everyone knows that you should not be afraid when facing challenges, but one of the main reasons why many NBA players can gain a foothold in the NBA is that they have a clear positioning. Jordan Jr. will never forcefully play singles in the inside. Redick will never forcefully make layups with a few people. Turner knows that he has no advantage when facing Embiid, nor has he thought of going against him.

Lin Sen shook his head: "Okay! OK! Don't be too nervous just by joking! Take it easy, leave that guy to me to solve it."

This was originally the idea of ​​McMillan and Linson communicating just now. McMillan wanted Linson to allocate more defenses in more places. The 76ers have made great progress this season. For example, today's 76ers are obviously stronger than the last time they were defeated by the Pacers. Simmons and Embiid both rose the fastest. After half a year, they have made complete progress. Embiid has also been selected as the All-Star this year.

But now it seems that even Turner himself has no confidence after playing this game, let alone letting him defend in the playoffs.

McMillan saw Lin Sen shook his head and changed some defensive tactics to re-arrange them. This youth team may cause a lot of trouble to themselves this season.
