The Godfather of Basketball

Tang Tian couldn't help crying when he heard Simmons' post-match remarks.

The history of the NBA is already very good, or maybe there are not two rookies with such a history and return.

On the plus side, these two have also attracted a lot of attention for the playoffs.

Really speaking, in the previous life, the two were also tit-for-tat because of the best rookies, but now it is more direct than the previous life. The two are going to face each other directly in the playoffs.

Who is better, Simmons or Mitchell?

This has actually been discussed a lot in previous lives.

Simmons is more comprehensive, but also has a fatal shortcoming that is not good at shooting.

Mitchell is more capable of scoring, but talent is a bit worse than Simmons.

This was the case in the past, and it's almost the same now.

However, if Tang Tianxuan chooses, he will still choose Mitchell.

Mitchell's competitiveness is what most rookies can even say that most players do not have. This is important in the playoffs stage. This is why the previous life Mitchell can lead the team into the second round, why Why he would choose the latter between Booker and Mitchell.

And the point that Simmons is not good at shooting is too deadly in the era of small balls. It is better than James was forced to practice shooting in that era, let alone Simmons.

Of course, no one knows the future. Just as Griffin debuted 20 + 10, but it suddenly fell down. Simmons looks like the next James. Who can ensure that he will not be the next Griffin?

At least Mitchell can guarantee a better lower bound.

The 76ers won the tiebreaker. On another field, Simmons developed the ultimate version of James. At the age of 34, he slashed 45 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists at home. In the second round.

At this point, the eight teams in the Eastern and Western semi-finals eventually came out.

In the West, the Warriors will play against the Pelicans who swept the Blazers, and the Rockets will face the lack of Leonard Spurs.

On the east side, the Nets are playing against the 76ers who advanced to the seventh round, and the Cavaliers who entered the second round will face the Celtics who are already ready.

The Nets and 76ers are undoubtedly the most attractive.

Not only because of disputes between Simmons and Mitchell, but also because both teams are upstarts in the East.

Needless to say, the Nets ’lineup, the 76ers, the“ Emperor ”Embiid, who can finally play, played 20 + 7 + 2 last season, and this season went further 22 + 11 + 3. 22 + 12.6 + 3, 76 people come back for two years and wait for a return.

Simmons also rested for a year. His rookie season was 15 + 8 + 8, and the playoffs were 16.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, and 7.7 assists.

The 20 million one-year-old Redick averaged 17 points and 42% three-point shooting.

It is also the rookie's second season of Sarwich 14 + 7 + 3 in the regular season. The seven games in the playoffs averaged 17.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

And Bellinelli, who signed the buyout deadline, can also score 13 points with a 35% three-point shooting percentage.

In addition to the best 3D Robert Covington, Iliasova obtained from the transaction, TJ McConaughey who passed from the Nets, and champion Lang Fultz.

The 76ers played a tiebreaker in the first round, but the truth is that on paper, they have the capital to play against the Nets.

On April 30, American time, after a two-day break, the Nets and 76ers series opened the first game in Brooklyn.

The crowd at the Barclays Center was crowded, and many fans held up a sign supporting Mitchell.

"Beat that man!", "Donovan Mitchell, best rookie!", "Mitchell: I don't follow Simmons." ...

Such slogans fully express the inner thoughts of New York fans, that is, they want to watch the confrontation between Mitchell and Simmons.

After the opening ceremony, the starting players of both teams appeared one after another.

On the Nets side, the team welcomed Irving's comeback, and Tang Tian also put him in the starting lineup.

Outside Owen and Butler, forward George and Yi Jianlian, center Jokic.

On the Sixers, Simmons and Redick on the perimeter, Covington and Suric on the front, Embiid on the center.

In the midfield, Embiid jumped for the 76ers.

Simmons held the ball to the frontcourt, directly in the perimeter.

At this moment, the Nets' defense made the fans on the spot wide their eyes.

The Nets ’defense is systematic. At this time, Irving has long been switched to Covington. The direct opponent to Simmons is George. George is at least two meters away from Simmons. This is almost the same as the other. Team Rondo is exactly the same!

Redick was defended by Butler on the weak side. Irving also followed Covington to the bottom corner. Embiid and Saric played at the free throw line, but George stood nearby, and their offensive space was very small.

The Raptors and the 76ers played fast. Simmons was like a fish, but Tang Tian would not do it. He would only catch the point that Simmons was not good at. He would target at ~ www.readwn.com ~ when he coached the Rockets Finals. James was aired on the three-point line for the entire series, and Simmons couldn't escape.

And Simons is standing in front of George, even if he wants to rush the ball, George will not give him an easy layup opportunity.

Simmons is like a young James but not after all. It is difficult to suppress George's score one-on-one.

Simmons also knew this, so it was embarrassing to take the ball standing outside for a long time. Seeing that George had no idea, but his teammates could not run out of chance.

Hesitation was still in the hands of the hemisphere after the final offensive time, and he could only signal to Embiid to drop back to play the ball back.

However, the Nets also expected this step before the game. Jokic reached out and interfered at this moment. Life and death did not give Embiid an easy chance to catch the ball.

Simmons lifted the ball for a long time and didn't send it in.

In the end, he had no choice but to give the ball to Saric the free throw line. This was for him to organize and he ran without the ball.

George posted it directly after seeing it, and did not give the ball a chance.

Redick and Simmons ran for a long time without a chance, Saric could only hit Yi Jianlian, turned to the basket and reluctantly shot out, Yi Jianlian turned around and accepted.

Butler and George's front line is really easy to use, the 76ers can't fight at all.

Irving used the cover in the front to play a single Saric, and continuously changed backwards and made a sudden stop jumper.

Although he had just recovered from his injury, he had a good rest with plenty of rest.

The 76ers sent the ball quickly in the backcourt, Simmons rushed forward with the ball, he wanted to take the initiative to speed up.

But the Nets retreated very quickly. By the time he rushed to the frontcourt, the Nets' position defense was completely in place.

The scene shot to Simmons, he glanced at George standing at the free throw line two meters away, and his expression was a little overwhelmed.
