Even advancing with the ball, at full speed, is faster than the average player.
After the coach's emphasis just now, the players of the Kings increased their speed by a few points.
This time, although the other players of the 76ers returned to the defense quickly.
But Embiid's height and weight are there after all.
Even at his height and tonnage, he is already very flexible.
But all the Kings players are shorter than him and weigh a lot less than him.
So it is naturally difficult for him to catch up with the Kings players.
Ever since, the king's frontcourt formed a five-on-four situation in a short period of time.
Wang Yi dribbled the ball, passed two people in a row, and after attracting a lot of defensive attention, he turned his right wrist outward.
The ball was lightly sent to Bagley outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right.
After Bagley received the ball, he made a quick shot without defense.
Swish!
Accurate basketball hit.
At this time, Embiid had just passed the center line.
In the next few rounds, the two teams followed suit.
Embiid is unstoppable when he is on offense.
Bagley and Holmes have physical talents, but they are still a bit worse than Embiid in terms of strength.
And Embiid's footwork at the basket is very solid.
Even though the two are constantly double-teaming, Embiid can rely on his strong strength and solid footsteps to keep flying the two and score the ball.
In the end, Holmes fouled for the second time in the 6th minute of the first quarter.
The coach could only replace him.
Originally, when Holmes was off, the Kings were supposed to be TT Thompson off the bench.
But Thompson doesn't know why. It's been almost a month since the regular season started, but he still hasn't come to the team to report.
Always tell the general manager that he has a personal matter.
Without Thompson on the bench, the Kings coach would not dare to let the rookie center come off the bench.
So only Mitchell can play.
In this way, the Kings play a large and four small lineups.
One is Bagley;
The four are Wang Yi, Mitchell, Hilde and Barnes.
This lineup is characterized by great mobility.
Needless to say, Si Xiao, every speed is just right.
Bagley is physically strong.
Among the tall people over 2 meters 10, his speed is very fast.
With such a lineup, the speed is so fast that they can fly from the start.
And with such a lineup, five players can shoot three-pointers.
Standing on the three-point line is a circle of threats.
So if this lineup feels good, it will be the end for the opponent.
Of course, this lineup also has shortcomings.
That's rebounding.
Only Bagley has an inside height, and Bagley is not as physically strong as Embiid.
Basically, rebounding is equivalent to handing over to others.
This is trading rebounds for speed.
Whether this change is good or bad depends on the players' performance on the spot.
If the Kings have a high shooting percentage, this is a good deal.
But if the Kings feel bad, this change is tantamount to suicide.
Soon, Embiid made a free throw-as a big man, his free throw percentage this season can reach 89%, which is really quite good.
But at the moment he just made a free throw, Mitchell had already crossed the baseline.
At the same time, Bagley had already rushed to the frontcourt the moment Embiid shot.
This is the intentional arrangement of the coach.
Of the five Kings players, Bagley is the slowest.
So the Kings simply gave up the rebounds and let him go straight to the fast break.
In this way, the Kings can quickly form a five-on-four situation in the frontcourt.
This is indeed the case.
After Mitchell went out of the baseline, he passed the ball to Hilde.
Hilder quickly passed the ball to Wang Yi while rushing forward with the ball.
After Wang Yi dribbled the ball for halftime, all five Kings players had passed halftime.
The 76ers also had four players past halftime.
But Embiid has not yet crossed the halfway line.
Taking advantage of this gap, Wang Yi quickly distributed the ball to the unguarded Mitchell.
Mitchell jumped high and made a three-pointer.
