1048: Who's Springboard for Who?

In the first two rounds of the game, Embiid did not disappoint 76ers fans.

He scored back-to-back goals on Jokic's head, which was very much in line with the expectations of the fans at the stadium.

Now, the expectation is not that Jokic will blow up the Grizzlies' No. 5 spot. What they're thinking about now is how to win the Grizzlies!

The 76ers have won three of their last four games, and they're on a positive footing. And as a team made up of young people, they have a very strong desire to win.

The past few rounds have given the 76ers players hope to play against the Grizzlies.

They discover that the all-powerful Memphis Grizzlies are not invincible!

This time, Wade held the ball and shook off Gerrard. Jordan Henderson, straight into the box.

When Henderson was in Charlotte at his peak, he also averaged 15 points per game.

He's a very classic shooting guard, preferring mid-range to three-point and off-ball offense to ball-handling offense.

At the same time, Henderson's strong body also allows him to excel on the defensive end.

If it weren't for the back-to-back injuries, Henderson might have been able to make a name for himself in the NBA.

In other words, Henderson is not a shrimp soldier. He also has a lot of confidence in the elderly Wade.

However, Wade only used a quick one-handed change of direction to shake off Henderson's center of gravity and break through.

Anyone who underestimates Wade will basically end up very well.

"Cut, trouble!" Seeing Henderson being broken through, Embiid was ready to make up for it under the basket.

Wade bravely made a layup after entering the restricted area, but Embiid arrived in time, waved his long arm, and fanned the basketball out of Wade's hand!

"Damn!" Wade didn't expect Embiid's defensive awareness to be so good, worthy of a guy who can average 2.5 blocks per game!

That's right, with only 25 minutes per game playing this season, Embiid can average 2.5 blocks per game, which is very efficient!

The basketball was fanned, and the rest of the 76ers immediately rushed to the frontcourt to prepare for a counterattack.

They believe Embiid will certainly be able to protect the ball.

Embiid stretched out his long arm after completing the block, ready to reach the basketball, which was starting to fall.

But just as Embiid was about to get the basketball, a white fat arm appeared in front of Embiid's eyes.

"Huh?"

Jokic was the first to catch the out-of-control basketball, and this seemingly athletic guy did a great job of scrambling for the ball!

"Damn, I was picked up!" Embiid complained in his heart, but it was okay for the ball to be snatched by Jokic, and he didn't believe that Jokic could break through his second offense.

Jokic grabbed the basketball and immediately rushed towards Embiid, who took a steady step and prepared to meet the flying "pork belly".

But at the moment when Jokic and Embiid were about to collide together, Jokic used a quick turn like a guard player to clean Embiid like a stake!

"What!?" Embiid was shocked, he didn't expect the chubby Jokic to have this hand!

"The Great" hurriedly turned around and chased back to make up for the void, but Jokic dunked straight after turning and passing, giving Embiid no chance to make up for it.

"Boom!" The basket was pulled hard by Jokic with one hand.

Suddenly, there was silence in the Vacovia Center Arena, and everyone's eyes widened, including the two commentators on the commentary platform.

"This ......" The two commentators, who had just been talking a lot, suddenly found that they were speechless.

Nikolai. Jokic, the slow-looking white fat man, just won Embiid in a scramble, and then scored with a beautiful turn and a one-handed slam on Embiid's head?

It's illogical!

Jokic, that fat boy, how could he be so flexible!?

After the goal, Jokic waved his arm vigorously, and others were full of domineering when they did this action. And Jokic did this action, but it only made people feel funny......

No matter how you look at it, Jokic is more of a non-threatening guy. But what he did just now is really inconsistent with his appearance!

Jokic...... Good luck. He grabbed the basketball and then scored the ball in the chaos. Regardless, Embiid's block of Wade's subordinates is really beautiful. After holding back for a long time, the narrator finally came to the end.

Jokic's flash of inspiration was shocking, but Link was unimpressed.

That kind of ball, it's just Jokic's regular operation.

"It's okay, let's attack back, attack back!" 76ers coach Brett. Brown's shouting brought the stunned young people back to their senses.

Embiid frowned, he didn't know what was going on with Jokic just now. But he assured that he would not be humble again.

Embiid wanted to hit Jokic back on the head immediately, but this time Rodriguez couldn't hoist the ball into the box.

Because Jokic's defense is so active, Embiid is not stable at all!

In the end, Rodriguez and Covington had a pick-and-roll. Covington cut inside immediately after the block, and Rodriguez's pass was delivered instantly!

But this simple combination had long been expected by Link, and Rodriguez's pass was only halfway through when it was intercepted by Link who suddenly crossed out.

"Don't make it so simple for us, man." Link yells after the steal and then accelerates the counterattack!

Rodriguez gritted his teeth, and when he was playing with the team at the Olympics this summer, he heard Gasol Jr. talk about Link's amazing deeds more than once.

In Gasol's mouth, Link is simply a man who can do anything.

Rodriguez didn't take it too seriously at the time, he knew Link was strong, but he couldn't be that strong.

However, it turns out that Gasol Jr.'s description of Link is not exaggerated at all!

Although the pick-and-roll tactic was simple, Rodriguez's passing was very accurate and fast. As a European defender, passing is a basic skill that must be passed.

Even if the opponent judges the intention, it is difficult to cut off the ball directly.

But Link, as if waiting for him to pass the ball, easily pocketed the basketball.

Link's counterattack quickly passed halftime, and Embiid ran frantically long distances behind Link.

He doesn't want to be beaten by the Grizzlies, he has just successfully blocked Wade, and if he blocks Link again this time, it will definitely make the Grizzlies demoralized!

Link is like a sharp arrow, killing the 76ers in the heartland. Around him, there are 76ers players wearing white home jerseys.

Link didn't look back, he stared at the basket and took two big strides with the basket.

As a result, just a second before the jump, Link slapped the ball to his crotch!

"It's a pass!?" Embiid immediately turned his head, and sure enough, the basketball flew from Link's crotch to the top of the arc outside the three-point line.

And the ...... who was there to catch the ball

It's Jokic!

"Damn, how can this get out!?" Embiid was shocked, he had never seen a player like Link!

It can defend, attack and pass! There are no shortcomings.

After all, this is the first time in his life that the "Emperor" has fought against Link. It's normal to be scared.

Jokic took the ball and threw it without hesitation.

Embiid's three-point shot has always been the proud capital of 76ers fans.

But Jokic's three-point shooting was smoother than Embiid's.

Embiid is not the only center in the world who can shoot three-pointers.

The hesitation just shrank too hard, so Embiid really didn't have time to pounce out. By the time he blocked it with his palm, Jokic had already made the shot.

The basketball hollowed into the net, leaving no suspense.

Jokic scored five points in a row, and he also went to color!

At this moment, the self-esteem of 76ers fans was critically damaged.

Their treasure, their hope for revival, their biggest star Joel. Embiid is actually inseparable from the Grizzlies' white and chubby, seemingly weak backup center!

With a turnaround dunk and a three-point shot, Jokic looks as well-rounded as Embiid.

What they expect is Embiid to beat the Grizzlies at the No. 5 spot and then lead the 76ers to an upset victory, just like D'Angelo did before. Russell and Ingram did what they did to the Warriors.

But right now, Embiid isn't taking advantage of it!

And Link's overwhelming strength also made the fans feel desperate.

Just now, in such a difficult situation, you can still pass the ball in such a fancy way. Link is worthy of being angry in the last game, and he led the team to score nearly 150 points......

After Jokic scored, he smiled innocently at Link, thanking Link for his wonderful pass.

Link is also relieved, he believes that after this game, no one will dare to judge people by their appearance.

Bamot, who was watching the game in front of the TV, clenched his fists nervously, and Embiid was in much bigger trouble than expected!

He thinks it's Embiid's battle for fame.

But in Link's eyes, this is actually Jokic's battle for fame!

Embiid's springboard is simply not too good.
