Embiid didn't be polite to Jokic, he's not the kind of person who just talks about it.

Embiid loves to talk trash because he has a strong sense of competition and competitiveness.

In other words, in addition to spraying in his mouth, Embiid will also use his actions to compete with opponents on the court.

So, in the first round after the start of the game, Embiid leaned on Jokic with his back in the middle distance.

People thought Link would go and help pack Embiid, but the Grizzlies No. 0, who scored 46 points in the last game, stuck to Covington.

On the one hand, Link had some scruples about Covington's three-pointer. This 3-and-D forward, who is also an undrafted player, has already made his mark in the league.

Link, on the other hand, believes Jokic can handle Embiid on his own.

Maybe he won't be able to keep a clean sheet against the Cameroonian talent, but he won't let him play too easily.

Embiid received the basketball on the side of the basket, and seeing that Link didn't mean to wrap up, Embiid boldly turned over and jumped directly!

Jokic blocked, but Embiid still threw the ball steadily.

"Brush!"

As soon as he came up, Embiid scored on Jokic's head.

His solid technique and soft touch have made 76ers fans crazy.

"The first goal was there, worthy of Joel. Embiid! It was an easy goal, and it seemed that Jokic was completely powerless to compete with Embiid. ”

"yes, yes, Jokic is too slow, and Embiid is very flexible. I guess this is just the beginning of Jokic's suffering. ”

The two Philadelphia commentators sang and harmonized, as if they were talking about cross talk.

Jokic shook his head, he really wasn't prepared for that shot just now, he didn't expect Embiid's offense to be so direct.

But he didn't think that goal was so great just now, that kind of goal, he could have scored it......

Switching to the Grizzlies offense, Link found that the strength of the 76ers was indeed stronger than their record reflected.

Covington, a tall man, defends very well, and he has that kind of undrafted style.

Most of the players who have climbed up from the undrafted have one trait, that is, they do not admit defeat.

Even against the league's most powerful superstars, the undrafted losers won't give up easily.

Link was like that back then, Wesley. Matthews is so. Now, Covington is no different.

So, Link really didn't take advantage of Covington. If you want to get this guy, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.

Seeing that Link couldn't get rid of Covington directly, Conley handed the ball to Jokic.

Jokic was holding the ball with his back in the midrange, and everyone's eyes widened.

Is the Grizzlies really going to let Jokic single?

"Come on! If you think you can really score on my head! Embiid yelled behind Jokic, but Jokic was unmoved.

Obviously he is only in the second grade, but he is as calm as a battle-hardened veteran.

Jokic didn't dig back, and he didn't turn around and break through. He just lifted the basketball with one hand and threw it behind his head seemingly casually!

Embiid looked confused, what is this guy doing? He had just moved so casually...... Is it a pass?

He didn't even look back behind him, how did he pass the ball?

Moreover, with such a soft passing action, can it really send the ball over safely?

With a bunch of questions, Embiid turned to look back.

At this point, Link cut right under the basket, received a pass from Jokic, and then easily put the ball up!

The Grizzlies scored, with an assist from Jokic.

"Poof, Jokic's passing moves are too amateurish. If Link hadn't been fast enough, the ball would have been lost! The Philadelphia commentator shook his head, they didn't think it was a good biography.

But Link knows very well that the goal just now can be easily scored, all thanks to Jokic's high position!

In terms of adaptability, Jokic is no worse than Gasol.

It's just that Jokic is a guy, and everything he does looks like he is careless.

Take passing as an example, most of the passes of people like Link and Conley are full of power. The action is crisp and unobtrusive.

But Jokic is a guy who likes to pass the ball slowly and leisurely with one hand.

Although the action may seem careless, the speed of the ball and the accuracy of the pass are actually quite remarkable!

Link can vouch for Jokic to be one of the league's best centers in terms of organization and playmaking!

If he could, he could even play the odd role of "center with the ball".

In the original history, Link remembers that Jokic did not do less with the Nuggets than to control the ball through the half court and then organize the offense.

Jokic's assist allowed Link to finish Covington with minimal effort, and with Jokic there, Link also saved himself from hand-to-hand combat with Embiid.

However, people didn't actually see the power of Jokic in that shot just now, including Embiid.

So, for the second round in a row, Embiid singled Jokic with the ball.

This time, it's from beyond the three-point line.

Nowadays, it is not uncommon for a player at the No. 5 position to attack with the ball outside the three-point line.

Embiid first made a couple of triple threat moves from beyond the three-point line, and then suddenly raised his basketball to shoot!

Jokic immediately pounced, but Embiid just faked the shot.

I saw that the "Emperor" took the initiative to take a step inside, bumped into Jokic head-on, and forced his shot in the confrontation!

The basketball goes into the net, and the referee's whistle blows.

Jokic fouls, Embiid gets a chance to hit a three-pointer!

"Hahaha, it's all a joke! Jokic was at a loss, Embiid, as a No. 5 player, was able to play his opponent outside the three-point line, which is amazing! ”

The fans and the live commentators were jubilant.

Jokic was like a fool, bewildered by Embiid.

With his honest appearance, Jokic seems to be even more stupid.

In front of the TV, Bamot also waved his fist excitedly.

Embiid shows his talent to the fullest!

Bamot is sure that the Grizzlies' No. 5 spot will definitely be blown out today! Even if Joggle then asked Harrell to play the No. 5 position, he wouldn't have a problem with Embiid.

Embiid tilted his head at Jokic and put on a "I didn't mean to" look. Then, swaggering to the free throw line.

"What's the matter with that kid? Won't you say a word to him? He seemed to be stunned. Wade leaned over to Link and gave Jokic a disapprehensive look.

"No, that guy is just a little slow. Moreover, this is the first time he has played against Embiid, and he doesn't know the other party, so it's normal to eat and shake, don't worry, he will solve the game in his own way. Isn't that pass he made just now very beautiful? That's a good start. ”

Seeing Embiid on the free-throw line, Link wasn't too worried.

Jokic, that guy hasn't woken up yet! His rhythm is not quite the same as most people.

Embiid hit a free throw and scored five straight points as soon as he got on the court. As in the previous games, Embiid's stats are rising fast, and he always gets the most beautiful stats in the least amount of time.

"Maybe, Link's words yesterday put too much pressure on Jokic, and he was simply killing his teammates."

"Yes, the center with the best potential in the league is not someone who can afford this kind of title."

Link couldn't hear the two Philadelphia commentators on the pitch babbling something, otherwise he would have rolled his eyes at the commentary table.

After Embiid's free throws, Jokic picked up the basketball on the ground and prepared to open the baseline.

As he sent the ball out and ran further, Link saw that the languid look on Jokic's face had disappeared.

Link smiled, it seems that Embiid's provocation made Jokic get into the groove early......
