The 76ers keep winning streak
There was no wait for Simmons to change his mind, but the Philadelphia 76ers still played an unparalleled dominance after the lineup was assembled, and after a wave of six consecutive wins, they have reached the fifth place in the East. Embiid's dominance on the inside, combined with Curry Jr.'s offensive firepower on the outside, did allow Rivers to prove himself once again. In this game, the 76ers have to challenge the Houston Rockets, a team with the bottom number one in the West, naturally can't stop the 76ers from winning, but they can't be taken lightly.
The Houston Rockets have suffered two straight losses, or rather, they have won just one of their last 11 games, and indeed one of the worst teams in the league. However, Wood is still quite strong, Porter Jr. and Green are also very talented, coupled with Silas's magic ball concept, once the hand is hot, even the Philadelphia 76ers, it will be particularly difficult to deal with.
Don't give any chance
Curry Jr. was out of the game due to injury, but the Philadelphia 76ers did not intend to give the Rockets this opportunity, Embiid came up in the first quarter with full firepower, 4 of 6 shots, 9 of 9 from the free throw line, 17 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal, Harris also had 7 points, 1 assist and 1 steal, the 76ers bombed 36 points in a single quarter, and the Rockets only scored 27 points, including Wood with 9 points and 3 rebounds, and Theiss 6 points and 2 rebounds. After returning from the second quarter, Embiid's offensive desire declined, and he had 6 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist, but the team still scored 26 points.
The Rockets' backcourt double gun still hadn't been turned on, and Both Porter Jr. and Green had only two points to score, so by the end of the half, the 76ers were 12 points ahead of the Rockets 62-50. In the second half, the Rockets still did not have any momentum to fight back, Embiid was 8 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists, Sebel also had 10 points, 1 assist and 2 steals on 4-of-6 shooting, the 76ers were 29 points in the single quarter, the Rockets only scored 22 points, and at the end of the third quarter, the lead had reached 19 points, basically declaring the game lost suspense.
After returning from the final quarter, Harris took the second team on the court to compete with the Rockets, but the point difference was still expanding, not that the 76ers scored too strongly, but that the Rockets only scored 19 points in the final quarter, and Porter Jr. even pushed angry when Brown went to the basket, directly receiving a second-degree malicious foul and expelling him. In the end, the Philadelphia 76ers won 111-91 against the Rockets by 20 points on the road and successfully won seven consecutive games.
Deported on 2 of 9 shots
2-of-9 shooting, 20 points fiasco! Malicious fouls were expelled, and the rockets really chose the wrong person this time. The Rockets lost the game, it can be said that it was a loss and a loss, and the malicious foul of Porter Jr. in the last quarter should not appear on the basketball court. After the whole game, Porter Jr. only had 8 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists on 2-of-9 shooting, you know, the Rockets boss once said that he was better than Harden in the same period, but now it seems that it is undoubtedly a fool's dream. Porter Jr. is not only inferior to Harden, but the ball is even more incomparable.
The only thing that can be said is that the Rockets really chose the wrong person this time, a team cancer, even if it grows into a team leader, it cannot lead the team to the championship. Green had 14 points and five rebounds, Wood had 14 points, six rebounds and two assists, and Theth had 12 points, four rebounds and two steals. On the 76ers side, Embiid once again showed his dominance, although he only played 26 minutes, but 9 of 16 shots, bombed 31 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks, and Harris was 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Today's Philadelphia 76ers, arguably the hottest team in the East, can use Simmons in exchange for some instant combat, then they definitely have the strength to compete for the championship trophy.
