Chapter 1451 Beat the 76ers and win three games in a row
Back at the hotel, the head coach of the 76ers gathered all the players under him, did some ideological work for them, summed up the lessons, and enjoyed the future.

All the players of the 76ers team drank this bowl of chicken soup and suddenly became full of energy. They shouted that the next game must be good for the Nets, kill the Nets, and defeat Meng Yun.

As a result, Embiid suddenly said: "It's okay to kill the Nets, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat Meng Yun. He is too strong."

The angry 76ers head coach blew his beard and stared. If Embiid was not too tall and strong, he would have grabbed Embiid's neck and twisted 360 degrees.

Isn't this destroying one's own morale and boosting others' prestige?
Embiid also knew that he had said something wrong, so he quickly shut his mouth, but he poured cold water on him, and the 76ers just drank the bowl of chicken soup for nothing.

A day later, Game [-] of the series kicked off.

Still at the home court of the Nets, the 76ers were aggressive, and they were able to play fiercely at the beginning of the game, showing their determination to win this game.

But the Nets are like an old Buddha, unmoved at all, the 76ers beat the 76ers, they beat them, they were not angry or excited, they just responded calmly.

On the contrary, this made the 76ers players a little overwhelmed. There was always a feeling of hitting the cotton with a fist, and they felt depressed and uncomfortable.

They didn't know that after the first match, the Nets already had an intuitive understanding of the 76ers. The advantage of the 76ers is that the inside line and the forward line are relatively strong, but their disadvantages are also obvious, that is, The depth of the bench is not enough, and the bench lineup is not strong.

The biggest advantage of the Nets is Meng Yun.

Everyone can see that the 76ers have no confidence in facing Meng Yun. Simmons is completely restrained by Meng Yun. His weakness of lack of outside shooting ability is further magnified, so as long as Meng Yun does not have any problems, then the team will face the 76ers. They have full confidence.

Supported by this kind of confidence, when they played against the 76ers again, the players of the Nets were extremely calm, so no matter what the 76ers did, they could take it lightly.

But the more indifferent the Nets were, the more anxious the 76ers became. After a few minutes in the first quarter, the momentum of the 76ers began to weaken, and finally the Nets regained the upper hand.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nets took the lead.

The head coach of the 76ers frowned, and couldn't help but reprimanded his players. Entering the second quarter, the 76ers showed some viciousness.However, Meng Yun also began to explode, scoring consecutive points, and after a wave of invincible individual performances, the morale of the 76ers was hit again.

Whenever the 76ers want to start, Meng Yun can always stand up and score. The 76ers can't stop Meng Yun from scoring, and no one can stand up and score the ball steadily at critical moments like Meng Yun, so the 76ers The People's team soon fell into a disadvantage again, and it was difficult to turn around.

When they switched to a rotation lineup, the morale of the 76ers was even lower, and they were beaten by Dinwiddie and several Nets players.

When the first half ended, the Nets had led by 13 points.

"Hey," the head coach of the 76ers sighed, and by this time he also understood, "The reason why we lost to the Nets was not because Joel or Ben played badly, it was not because we didn't have Meng Yun's incomprehension. There are no players who can match up with Meng Yun."

Although both Embiid and Simmons were selected as All-Stars this season, there is a gap between All-Star players and All-Star players, and sometimes the gap is very large.

Compared with Meng Yun, Embiid and Simmons are far behind. Meng Yun is almost incomprehensible, and they are among the top few in the entire league, and they can even be among the top three.

But Embiid and Simmons are not. Embiid may be able to rank in the top ten, but Simmons is afraid that he can only rank in the top twenty at most. They cannot match Meng Yun, so when Meng Yun broke out At that time, no one in the 76ers was able to stand up to Meng Yun and fight back. As a result, the 76ers were inherently at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

"This is the gap." The head coach of the 76ers was depressed and helpless. The team had no one who could compete with Meng Yun, and the depth of the bench was not enough. Although the main lineup looked good, they still couldn't play the basket after all. The Nets, I'm afraid they will lose again in today's game.

Of course, he didn't give up, and neither did the 76ers players. After all, they are professional players, not to mention that when it comes to the playoffs, no one will give up easily.

It's just that the 76ers really have no good way to improve the current situation.

After three quarters, the point difference was more than ten points, but after entering the fourth quarter, Simmons suddenly broke out and scored a few points. Horford hit a three-pointer from the outside, and the 76ers suddenly narrowed the point difference to only 5 points.

But soon Meng Yun stood up again, first hit a three-pointer, then broke through a dunk, scored 5 points in a row, helped the Nets stabilize the situation, and once again extinguished the momentum of the 76ers.

"The 76ers are going to lose again."

"It was completely beaten by Meng Yun. No one could guard against him, and no one could stand up to him. No wonder the 76ers lost."

"This is the playoffs, the cruel reality."

People are discussing, and many people feel emotional.

Meng Yun was replaced, sat on the sidelines and looked towards the 76ers, shaking his head: "The 76ers have a lot of problems, maybe nothing in the regular season, but they are destined not to go too far in the playoffs, the depth of the bench Not enough, neither Embiid nor Simmons has absolute dominance. Well, just like the Timberwolves, the book strength looks good, but the real combat power is far worse than the book strength."

Entering the fourth quarter, the situation has not changed. The Nets continue to lead, and the morale of the 76ers has been frustrated. It is difficult to launch a strong counterattack.

In the end, the game ended and the Nets won again.

Meng Yun scored 30+ again, scored 34 points, plus 7 rebounds, and 11 assists. Embiid of the 76ers scored 26 points, 13 rebounds, and Simmons had 18 points, 9 assists, and 6 rebounds.

The loss of two consecutive games has dealt a big blow to the 76ers players, the team's morale has been frustrated, and their confidence in the next game has begun to waver.

Two days later, the Nets headed to Philadelphia for Game 76 of the series against the [-]ers.

This game may be due to returning to the home court. The 76ers played well, but in the end they lost to the Nets 118:123. They only lost 5 points, but a loss is a loss.

The 76ers lost three consecutive games, the series became 3:0, the Nets got the match point, and the 76ers have reached the edge of the cliff.
