It's so big
Last season, the 76ers bucked the trend, and the group cost - Simmons, Josh Richardson, Tobias Harris, Al Horford and Joel Embiid as the starting five major formations of death, the formation was questioned at the beginning, it seems to be superior in book strength, but it is not, this lineup has good body, strength, speed is OK, but lack of space.
Modern basketball pays more and more attention to "space", to put it bluntly, it is the pursuit of projection, and players with projection ability in this offseason have received big contracts.
Hey, dude! I'm practicing for 3 points again
Ben Simmons is a draft winner, with a height of 2 meters 08, comparable to James's physical fitness, 15.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, 8.2 assists in the 17-18 season, and the next two seasons are basically the same data, no progress. This is not to mention, with the body of the big front but playing point guard, but the way to score is only to break through the impact of the basket this move, completely no projection ability, the first two seasons of the career 3-point total 17 shots 0, I don't know if this is an NBA record. In the 19-20 season, he finally shot 3 points and shot 28.6% of the shooting rate, but looking at the data, the total of 7 shots and 2 shots in the whole season was speechless.
3 points? I'll take care of it myself
In order to create space for Simmons, he could only shoot the team's indian center Embidra to shoot 3 points, and over time, Embiid was full of complaints.
The big contract arrived, and the heart was much more secure
Tobias Harris shot more than 40 percent from three points while on the Clippers, but he was on the ball and needed to be given space.
Although Horford also has a certain long-range shooting ability, after all, he is too old and his ability has declined significantly.
The 76ers' starting lineup only has Richardson's shooting potential as a shooter, who averaged 46.1 percent from three-point range in 15-16. At that time, the general said that if the other 4 can sacrifice, they can all create opportunities for Richardson, they can feed him to the league's scoring champion, but obviously the American culture is different from ours, they basically do not serve people who are lower than their overall ability or lower salary than themselves, and throughout the season, Richardson's 3-point shooting rate dropped to a career-low 32.7%.
Sure enough, in the 19-20 season, the 76ers struggled extremely, and only finished the season with a record of 43 wins and 30 losses in the East.
After the regular season resumed, Ben Simmons missed the rest of the game due to injury. At this time, many fans shouted that Simmons' injury was a good thing for the 76ers and could greatly liberate Embiid. Indeed, Embiid averaged 30.0 points and 12.3 rebounds in the playoffs, but the team was eliminated by the Celtics in the first round with a ruthless 4-0 score.
Wear a mask so that it doesn't hurt when you punch your face
What is the use of empty data, winning is the last word.
The 76ers management had previously wavered in the choice of Simmons or Embiid, and now there was no need to swing, they all stayed, and it seemed that no one could be left.
Bro, drink chicken soup don't you?
As a result, the offseason first fired head coach Brett Brown and signed championship coach Doug Rivers.
Take a look at the target and see where the basket frame is
Trade Horford in exchange for three-time NBA championship point guard Danny Green, and Richardson for point guard Seth Curry, who performed well in the Lone Rangers last season.
Next season I'm going to take control of a team, yes, control
Then continue to follow the policy of letting Simmons play big at the end of last season.
That makes the lineup look much more reasonable, which is why the General put the 76ers at the top of the second gear in the East, and if it's done right, it can compete against the Celtics and Bucks.
Players who stay in the team:
Tobias Harris, Ben Simmons, Joel Embiid, Mike Scott, Matisse Sable, Sherk Milton, Furkan Kolkmaz, a total of 7 people.
Departing players:
Horford, Richardson, Zaire Smith, Alec Burks, Glenn Robinson, Kyle O'Quinn, Raul Neto, Norville Pele, 8 in all.
New Players:
Danny Green, Seth Curry, Terence Ferguson, Tony Bradley, Howard, Vincent Polly, Justin Anderson, and three rookies: Teres Maxi, Isaiah Joe and Paul Reid, for a total of 10 players.
Predict next season starts: Seth Curry, Danny Green, Harris, Simmons and Embiid;
Main substitutes: Milton, Sable, Kolkmaz, Mike Scott and Howard;
Decisive lineup at key moments: Basically the starter, Milton played well at the end of last season, to see if he can continue to play.
Suggestion: Rivers don't always think about making chicken soup, it's time to study the tactics, get the son-in-law over and be the treasurer, after all, Seth Curry is not Lajan Rondo, don't lose the 76ers' family foundation accumulated over the years.
