In the NBA regular season, the Nets and Philadelphia ushered in a focus showdown. In the first half of the game, the Nets completely dominated the field, leading Philadelphia by 21 points at 72-51 at halftime. There are too many grudges between the two sides, and the game scene is also very hot, which makes people feel that this is not a simple regular season game, but more like the enemy is extremely red-eyed.
The audience angrily scolded Ben Simmons
Towards the end of the first quarter, the game entered the dead ball phase. At this point, the camera was given to Ben Simmons, who was sitting in the audience. As a result, the audience could not sit still, and they collectively shouted slogans and scolded Ben Simmons: Ben Simmons of XX. The sound of the scene can be said to be deafening. I wonder how Ben Simmons, who is sitting on the bench at this time, feels?
Embiid Durant sprayed each other
Embiid dominated the free throw line in the first half, and the 19 free throws in the half were jaw-dropping, knowing that the Nets only made seven free throws across the team. After once again standing on the free throw line, Durant and Embiid had a verbal altercation, and the fans went crazy. At the end of the second quarter, Durant counter-attacked and shot a basket, and Embiid was whistled 2+1 without success. Durant sat on the ground frantically celebrating with Owen and glaring at Embiid.
Harden sleepwalked in Philadelphia fearing a crash
Harden's performance in the first half was a disaster, with various strikes on 3-of-15. Against the old masters, Harden did not calm his mind like Curry Jr. On the Nets side, Durant scored 18 points at halftime, Irving 16 points, and Curry Jr. 15 points! For Philadelphia, Embiid struggled to hold on, scoring 21 points on 15-of-19 free throws at halftime. In the half-game, Philadelphia trailed by 21 points at home, and it was difficult to turn over in the second half.
From the first half, Philadelphia played very hard. If Harden and other players can't play, Embiid will be alone. And what the Nets have to do is to continue to stay focused. Because the rest of Philadelphia's players can't stay in the doldrums, they have to be prepared to fight a tough fight.
