On May 3, Beijing time, what should I do if there is no Embiid's philadelphia line? Jordan Jr. even had 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 blocks on 2-of-2, but at plus-minus -22, Reid had 4 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 5 foul scores, and Millsap 0 points, they were all lightly beaten by Adebayo 8 of 10 24+12+4+2+1, which also made people miss Philadelphia's mode of playing in Embiid, after all, Philadelphia lost 52 points on the line.
When Philadelphia's core Embiid was injured, public opinion began a singing philadelphia model, after all, the strength of Philadelphia's inner line that lacked Embiid declined too much, and it was also powerless to block Adebayo's offensive and defensive power.
The lack of Embiid is not only the lack of an interior offensive and defensive pillar averaging 30+10 per game, but also the lack of one of Philadelphia's offensive axes, and Harden only scored 16 points on 5 of 13, and it is difficult for him to return to the Rockets' big killer mode, and it is also a higher demand for the rest of Philadelphia's teams.
However, Embiid's 3 big stand-ins are not ideal, and Jordan Jr., who was arranged by Rivers to start, only has a 2-of-2 performance, even if he once received Harden's wonderful pass to complete the air-connected dunk, it was only a short-lived performance. Jordan Jr.'s footsteps were too slow to keep up with Adebayor's pace, and his 17 minutes and 16 seconds on the field were extremely sad with a plus-minus of -22.
As for the veteran Millsap's 5 minutes and 38 seconds, there was not a single shot, only 0 points and 1 rebound and assist, almost in the soy sauce mode.
On the contrary, Reid is not ideal even if he is 2 of 6, but he also grabbed 9 rebounds and gave 4 assists, plus 1 steal and 1 block, especially grabbing 5 offensive rebounds tied for the highest value of the game. There is no doubt that in the case of the Heat's interior line Adebayo dominating the inside line 24+12+4+2+1, Rivers should reuse Reed and reduce the time of Jordan Jr. and Millsap, after all, their performance is too low.
