The bench won by 10 points in a single quarter, the Nets nearly capsized; Bamba's three-point throwing technique was stunning, Embiid showed all-round technology; the Lakers lost in the second half to send warmth to the rebuilding team, and Vogel was once again in crisis
Irving Ader scored 57 points, and the Nets narrowly beat the Wizards
The second game after losing Durant was also the second game of a four-game trip to the Brooklyn Nets. The opponent they have to challenge is the Washington Wizards, who have won 4 and lost 1 in their last 5 games. The Eastern Conference eighth welcomed back their most important player, Bradley Beal, but Beal clearly needed to adapt to NBA-level games, with Beal only 13 points in their last big win over the 76ers.
In the starting stage of both sides, the Wizards are obviously the better side, and the Wizards' starting side except for Dinwiddie, the other players have all negative plus/minus. The Nets' strongest offensive sharpshooter, Kyrie Irving, continued the fiery state of the previous game, shooting 13 of 23 in the game, and getting 30+3+7 statistics. His best personal performance was in the first quarter, when he shot 5-of-7 and single-handedly handled a third of the Nets' points.
At this stage, the home team has the initiative firmly in their hands, especially in the period when Dinwiddie led the team, and now that Bradley Beal has not yet adjusted to the first two seasons, Dinwiddie is the wizard's most important player. He cooperated with the Wizards' other four interior lines with both height and athletic ability, and pinched the Nets' four-guard lineup to death, and in the last quarter, the most important reason why the home team was able to beat the Nets by 10 points was this.
Ader was the nets' only honor on the bench, with the 36-year-old veteran scoring 27 points on 11-of-15 shooting in the game. His outstanding performance also allowed him to win far more playing time than starting center Sharp, and the Nets found the sharpest offensive weapon besides Irving's singles during Durant's absence, Ad blocking the ballistic shot.
In the final moments, the Wizards, who forced the point difference to one turn, failed to complete the shootout, losing to the Nets 118-119.
Embiid stood shoulder to shoulder with the big coach, and the 76ers continued to soar
'We've got some players out and that's made my burden this season heavier and it's my job to play and be a better leader and I love that. That's what Embiid said after the game over the Orlando Magic. In this game, he personally scored 50 points and 12 rebounds in 27 minutes of playing time, breaking his scoring record this season. In addition, he became the second player in the history of the 76ers to cut at least 50 points and 10 rebounds multiple times in a single season.
Embiid has been in very good shape over the past month. During that time, he averaged 32 points and 11 rebounds per game, shooting 54 percent from the field. It is also thanks to his efforts that the 76 talents can go further on the record list in the absence of many main players.
Opposite the "little brother of Africa" Mohammed Bamba is also in excellent shape, losing only 1 of the 8 shots outside the three-point line and scoring 32 points. But in terms of the technical comprehensiveness shown, Embiid clearly beat him by a large margin. In the paints, Embiid conceded only 2 goals, and in the mid-range, Embiid only conceded 1. Successful individual offensive rounds include a dragon dribbling down, holding the ball in the middle of the shot, back hit the shot, dribbling emergency stop Golden Rooster independent, three-point line holding the ball to break through.....
With the boss's offensive attraction, the rest of the 76ers seemed to be in the water, and in the third quarter and a whole quarter, the 76ers bombed the team's highest single quarter of the season - 47 points, and suddenly took the situation of the game into their own hands. In the end, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Orlando Magic 123-110, giving the visiting team a three-game losing streak.
After a brief moment of joy, the Lakers still didn't give hope
The home win over the Utah Jazz bought extra time for head coach Vogel, but he was still in a state of being "observed every game" by the Lakers' top management, and if the Lakers performed badly in the next time, Vogel was most likely at risk of being dismissed. The home loss to the Pacers apparently pushed Vogel, who had just come ashore, to the edge of the cliff.
Before winning the Los Angeles Lakers, the Indiana Pacers won only one game in 2022, or won the Utah Jazz (Utah Jazz and los Angeles Lakers are indeed the strongest warm-sending team in the NBA this season). However, what is more disgusting for Lakers fans than losing 7 points to the super bad team is that the Lakers were overturned by their opponents with an absolute advantage in the game and a maximum lead of 15 points, which really feels like there is no reason.
By the first half of the final quarter, the Pacers had completed a counter-overtake against the Lakers, and the Los Angeles giants had a chance to avoid a big reversal, but they didn't do it. They didn't win against each other in the offensive battle, and they only had 24 points in the last quarter. Defensive end, they take care of either end. Le Vere spent ten and a half minutes in the fourth quarter, scoring 20 points, and Sam Jr. delivered seven rebounds and five assists. The Lakers' "proud" small ball lineup once again buried themselves, no matter how vigorous the outside world discussed them, the entire Lakers team did not show blood and desire at the critical moment, which is the most disappointing.
