The Pacers have not only been the leader in the lineup since now. It can be seen that they are also the leading side in tactics and rhythm, and their state is also the leading side. The 76ers have a difficult time playing, and the three three-pointers on his periphery have no chance at all.

Coach Brown simply replaced Simmons and used several substitutes to play with Embiid.

Embiid played well against Lin Sen in the first round of the ball, and turned his back and scored against a small throw shot.

Although all the trash words in Lin Sen were targeted at him at the beginning, he is very rational now.

"Joel, you have to remember that there is no problem with Lin off the court, no matter how you argue with Lin. But when you are on the court, you have to stay calm. Every time you face his defense, it is your chance to prove yourself."

There is no doubt that this statement played a certain role in Embiid. Not to mention anything else, just this small throw just now, it can be seen that he played very cautiously. In the first step, Lin Sen's defense was actually lost to a certain extent, but he still made an extra fake move and shook Lin Sen, then turned his back and jumped to complete the score.

"Oh! The little guy is a little interesting. His footsteps have evolved a lot compared to the regular season." Lin Sen murmured at Embiid, "No wonder he dared to challenge me!"

It seems that this round of series has become much more interesting than the Wizards. When facing the Wizards, Lin Sen did not feel the challenge at all. As long as he got the ball, the opponent's inside line began to shrink. In the whole series, the Wizards scored only 77 points in the penalty area, and 77 points in 4 games usually less than 20 points per game! It can be seen how fearful the Wizards players are in the offensive interior.

Although Embiid did not express too excitedly after succeeding, such as celebrating with a chest and roaring to the sky, there was no such thing as 7 points behind in the score, and the situation is still on the Pacers' side.

The Pacers were in good shape on the outside tonight, and Lin Sen did not rush to ask for the ball to hit Embiid, but instead allowed Oladipo to perform more.

This time, the opponent did not get the first pick-and-roll away, but was caught up by TJ McConnell. This defender with average physical fitness replaced Simmons. He may suffer a little in the confrontation, but around the pick-and-roll? This is what he is good at.

But now Oladipo is in his best condition, so it doesn't matter for him to get around. He dribbles with his left hand and at the same time, he leans his right hand against TJ McConnell's waist and rushed into the inside.

Among the point guards, he is a person like James, and such an impact is not something that anyone can have.

The left hand layup that rushed to the inside line was very difficult, basically a full-speed impact, not using your usual hands, and TJ McConnell did not lose his position. Such a layup doesn't seem difficult, but those who have played the ball will understand that it has not been trained, so many passerby players will go up the sky.

This is not difficult for a player like Oladipo who has top finishing skills at the basket, but this time, Embiid got rid of Lin Sen's position and flew over from the right to complete a block.

He pressed the ball to the rebound before the basketball hit the rebound. After he took the rebound, the 76ers wanted to counterattack but found that the counterattack core in his team was not on the court.

Embiid gave the ball to TJ McConnell and slowly passed the position to play the half-time. TJ McConnell is also a commanding point guard in positional battles. Although he used to play the worst performance in history when facing Lin Sen in college, Lin Sen can no longer guard him like he was at that time.

And this time, he and Embiid played very beautifully in the pick-and-roll. To be honest, if you ask Simmons and Embiid to play pick-and-roll, you may not necessarily have such lethality. Two people with average three-point ability play pick-and-roll are just to let the opponent retreat to the penalty area together.

TJ McConnell passed a very beautiful pass from the pick                                                                                                                        �

After receiving the ball, Embiid made a comfortable layup. In the positional battle, TJ McConnell is indeed more suitable for pick-and-roll than Simmons. Embiid is an excellent ending point. Now, the 76ers are making good use of this ending point and thinking about ways to slowly narrow the score.

"Joel played very well tonight. No matter whether it was offense or defense, he didn't look like he was suppressed by Lin. This is the best proof for him." O'Neal liked Lin very much, and now Embiid played very well when facing Linson, so he had already won the recognition from O'Neal.

"When will Lin fight back?" Barkley didn't care at all. He never thought Embiid could match Linson now, especially in the playoffs.

Just so happened that O'Neal had a consensus with Barkley at this point: "The gap is within 5 points! When it comes to the key goal, Lin will let Joel understand who is the first center. And at that time, the attack is the best time to kill people and kill people."

The score was getting closer and Embiid was getting higher and higher. When he became more and more excited, he dared to fire at Lin Sen.

"You are good at facing other centers, but when facing me, I am the center. Just like Yao faces Dwight, you can't beat me."

At the beginning, Howard had several periods of time when he was the best defensive player in three consecutive games. Howard was the best center in the league. He led the team to win James' Cavaliers and blocked the 23vs24 route. The defensive end covered the sky and the offensive rebounds were also snatched. He was the best center in that era.

But only those who meet Yao Ming are exposed once. Even in the year when they reach the finals, every time they meet Yao Ming, they are the most bleak data of that season.

Now Embiid just admits that it has nothing to do with him in the first round of the season, but you are a better regular season player, but you will be knocked out when you meet him. As soon as the second quarter began, Embiid has scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, and made 4 of 6 shots, with significant efficiency. It is said that during this period, Embiid has no problem with Lin Sen.

Embiid is in a very good condition tonight. Once a player of this level is in good condition, even a best defensive player like Lin Sen can't do anything to him.
