The Basketball Court Swordsman

Chapter 528: : The first lesson to enter the league

Joel Embiid is sitting on the bench at Phu Quoc Center Arena. This season, he has sat on the bench more than once to witness the team's defeat. But those losses did not make Embiid feel too uncomfortable. Because even if the team loses, at least Embiid proved his own. The responsibility of losing is not on him.

But today, watching the 76ers step into the abyss, Embiid is extremely uncomfortable. Because of this game, the team was unable to win, and he himself failed to prove his ability.

"Another three-pointer! This is already the fourth three-pointer made by Bogdanovic today! After transferring to the Pacers this season, his performance has been very stable. Today is no exception, Brooklyn The Nets really gave the Pacers a big gift!"

Just as Embiid recalled what happened today, the Nets tumbling voice sounded again. Embiid swallowed, then raised his head and looked at the big screen above his head.

Sure enough, it was already 30 points. The Pacers were 30 points ahead of the 76ers before the game ended. At this time, the whole game is over, be cautious for 2 minutes.

This means that Embiid is no longer necessary to play. This also means that Embiid has been unable to change the outcome of this game. One problem he must face now is how to deal with those media later.

There is no doubt that after the game, Embiid will definitely be besieged by the media. He must pay a painful price and responsibility for his previous remarks.

Before the game, Embiid threatened to kill the Pacers. The results of it? The 76ers were not only bloodbathed today, but the news of Embiid is still inexplicable.

In the game, Embiid played 30 minutes and scored 18 points and 7 rebounds. It seems that Embiid's data is not bad. But if you add a 33% shooting rate, Embiid's performance is not good.

A center hits less than 40%. This efficiency is undoubtedly not enough. His 18 points were piled up entirely by the high number of shots.

Henson's double-teaming strategy left Embiid at a loss. This can be said to be Embiid's most struggling game since entering the league.

His performance combined with his pre-match remarks is bound to be made difficult by the media.

Henson's silence before the game highlighted this disdain. Although the game is not over yet, Embiid has been disgraced.

Two minutes later, the electronic buzzer rang. Before the game, a carnival was brewing in the Phu Quoc Center Arena. But after the game, the Phu Quoc Center Arena seemed to have returned to the lifeless state it was a few years ago.

130 to 101, the Pacers beat the Philadelphia 76ers by 29 points in the away game. 130 points, which is a record high for the Pacers in a single game this season. 29 points, the Pacers' biggest difference in winning this season.

Henson used two humiliating records to give back the defeat four days ago. Henson proved that the 76ers can beat the Pacers by luck. Because the hard power gap between the two sides is really huge.

After the game, the reporters directly ignored Antetokounmpo, who scored 28 points and 8 rebounds, ignored Bogdanovic who made a string of three-pointers, and ignored Olympian who played well on the bench. Radipo, and went straight to Embiid and Henson.

No matter how well the others perform, they both are the focus of this game.

Seeing so many reporters gathering towards him, Henson did not panic. After all, this was the scene he expected.

"Coach Henson, you won this game beautifully! What do you think of Embiid's performance? Do you think his performance is worthy of his pre-match remarks!?"

"Whether you deserve to ask Embiid, I can only say that even if what I say is as stinky as a toilet pit, I have to digest it myself. So the first lesson I taught Embiid is, never say anything. Too dead." Henson shrugged, knowing that now, he was disdainful.

"What about the Pacers? Your three-pointers hit 51.3% today! Do you think your three-pointers are the main reason for the victory of the game today?" The reporters scrambled to raise questions.

"This is of course the main reason we can win. I admit that we can't hit such a three-pointer every game. However, some teams seem to be reluctant to admit it."

Henson's "certain teams" naturally refers to the Philadelphia 76ers. He used a three-pointer and slapped the 76ers.

In this game, the 76ers' performance on the three-point line is undoubtedly terrible. Embiid is 1 in 3, Henderson is 0 in 2, Covington is 2 in 9, Rodriguez is 1 in 4...

So Henson was right that day, the 76ers couldn't beat themselves by an incredible three-pointer every game.

It's not just Henson who brags here, the other players of the Pacers also greatly appreciated Henson's performance.

"Coach Henson's strategy is very smart. Without him, it would be difficult for us to limit Embiid's play." Brook Lopez said.

"Our strategy is actually very simple. Lopez defended, I waited for opportunities to double-team interference. Coach Henson knew how to deal with Embiid from the beginning, but he didn't like to respond with his mouth." Adeto Kunbo proudly announced Henson's victory.

During the interview period after the game, Henson was quite the limelight. On Embiid's side, it was very embarrassing.

"Excuse me, are you satisfied with your 33% hit rate today?"

"..."

"Joel, you said before the game that you would prove that the 76ers defeated the Pacers were not luck. So today, do you think you proved successful?"

"..."

"Embid, today you are the team's first in the number of shots, but your field goal percentage is the bottom of the team. Do you think that the loss of this game, how much responsibility do you account for?"

"..."

The reporters naturally wouldn't let this opportunity embarrassed Embiid, don't watch a bunch of reporters clamoring to make Henson look good before the game started. But after the game is over, they will only stand on the side of the winner.

However, the sideline interview was only the beginning. At the press conference after the game, Joel Embiid knew what a reporter's indiscriminate bombardment was.

Throughout the press conference, the reporters did not ask Covington and Brett Brown any questions. Their only object of inquiry is Embiid!

Embiid was distracted by the repeated questions. He was in a bad mood after losing, and now he is still forced to answer embarrassing questions. Embiid is even more intolerable.

"Okay, don't ask any more, let me make a summary in one sentence!" So halfway through the press conference, Embiid suddenly yelled, quieting the noisy media reception room instantly.

In the curious eyes of countless cameras and reporters, Embiid lowered his head and approached the microphone, "I apologize for my remarks the other day. The Pacers are indeed very powerful. They undoubtedly proved this. Heng. Coach Sen made me suffer a big loss. I now know why they were able to win championships before."

The reporters stopped questioning until Embiid took the initiative to be soft. Of course, this also means that Embiid, who never accepted softness, also declared Henson's victory.

What is the end of a fight against Henson Joe? Embiid became a man who "tested the law" in the league after Henson returned.

Super genius, still can't do an experienced super coach.

That night, Henson walked out of the Phu Quoc Center Arena in a whistle. There is no doubt that this is the coolest game he has won this season.

His coolness not only comes from the victory of this game, but also allows Henson to see the Pacers more possibilities.

Brogdon, Oladipo, Channing Frye, Bogdanovic...The strength of these people and their role in the team have been revealed for the first time. The depth of the Pacers lineup also made Henson very satisfied.

Challenge the Golden State Warriors and win the championship, why not?

After all, Henson is different from Embiid. If he releases it, it usually won't turn into a bad check...
