While the players on both sides were still warming up, ESPN gave Link and Embiid split-screen shots more than once.

Although the two did not directly match today, they were the real hot spots of the entire game.

"I bet if Link and Embiid were given a boxing glove to each and let them fight on the court, then the fans wouldn't be so looking forward to the next game."

Kevin Harlan looked at the serious Link and Embiid and joked.

It can be seen that due to the mutual criticism between Embiid and Link, the overall relationship between the two sides has become relatively tense today.

Although there are two former Grizzlies players on the 76ers, this cannot ease the gunpowder smell of this game.

Tobias Harris and Josh Richardson greeted everyone from the Grizzlies before the game and chatted with Link for a long time, but they are now part of the Philadelphia 76ers.

No matter how brilliant they achieved in Memphis, no matter how brotherly they and Link were, now their butts cannot be tilted towards the Grizzlies.

As a professional player, the most basic quality is to help your team win.

Moreover, Harris and Richardson have neither influence in the 76ers locker room, so naturally they cannot change the fact that the gunpowder smells strong in this game.

Before the game started, Stephen loved to make trouble. A. Smith also interviewed the big-mouthed "The Great Emperor" and asked if he was ready to fight against Marc Gasol.

Embiid showed great disdain for this.

"Marc Gasol was once one of the best centers in the league, well, once was. Today I will do my best to help the team find an advantage in the interior. The nonsense that Link said is just self-comfort."

It can be seen that Embiid is very confident in the fight with Gasol today. His goal is Jokic, who is known as the number one center in the West, rather than an outdated old center.

This season is the season when Gasol transforms from a star player to a role player.

Jokic's outstanding performance in the starting position, and even Howard's rebirth in the Grizzlies, have repeatedly reduced Gasol's attention.

Facing a player who is not mentioned much by people, Embiid is naturally a little arrogant.

Embiid's arrogant attitude undoubtedly made Grizzlies fans very unhappy. Of course, it also made Philadelphia fans extremely excited.

This sideline interview completely erupted the heat of the game and the smell of gunpowder between both sides.

Soon, the starters of both sides stepped onto the court to confront each other.

All the fans in the Vacovia Center Arena stood up. This is the first time the 76ers have fought against the Grizzlies this season. In the past, they were unable to compete with the Grizzlies and could only watch the league dominate the 76ers again and again.

But now, they can finally compete with the greatest team of this era. It is clear that this game carries the expectations of Philadelphia fans.

Link looked at the five people standing opposite him and felt very oppressive.

It’s not because they are so strong, but because Philadelphia’s lineup is so fucking too high!

Point guard Ben Simmons is 2.08 meters tall, two centimeters taller than the "Magic" back then.

Embiid and Horford are the two centers, not to mention the height.

The two shortest players in the starting lineup of the 76ers are Richardson and Harris, the two former Grizzlies.

But considering that their heights are 1.98 meters and 2.06 meters respectively, Philadelphia really has an absolute advantage in height.

True. Five deaths.

The 76ers may be the first team in the NBA league, and the team that truly fulfills Pat Riley's prediction of future basketball.

In this era when the whole world is playing small lineups, and in this era when Green, who is 2.01 meters tall, is as good as a fish in the fifth position, the 76ers do have some meaning of taking a wrong lead.

Embiid stepped into the central circle and faced a confrontation with Marc Gasol.

Gasol's last game replaced Jokic, who was injured, was temporarily promoted to the starter, but he did not show any good form.

This is also Embiid's greatest source of confidence.

After all, I am the number one center in the East, so it is impossible for the Grizzlies to be able to beat the substitute center!

He is going to embarrass Link today for speaking.

The referee threw the ball, and Embiid surpassed Gasol in height with an overwhelming advantage and won the basketball.

The tofu chunks are bouncing high, which seems to be the tradition of the Grizzlies center...

After Embiid won the basketball, Ben and Simmons slowly advanced with the ball.

Link opened his arms and led the defense throughout the game. Although Simmons was the point guard, if Conley really had to face him, it would undoubtedly be a disaster.

After all, Simmons really has power at the power forward level.

As soon as Simmons approached Link, Embiid's cover came up.

Since Simmons does not have long shots, the Sixers' offense is basically initiated by pick-and-roll.

Link went around directly behind Embiid, intending to block Simmons' breakthrough directly.

He did succeed, and he could easily be targeted by the opponent without shooting ability.

But Simmons is not a player known for his high scores. What people really talk about is his omnipotence.

Just as Link was about to block Ben Simmons, the 16-year No. 1 pick suddenly threw the ball out of Link's head.

Simmons' overall view and his height allow him to always send the ball to where he wants.

Link immediately turned around, and sure enough, Tobias Harris, who cut into the basket, received the ball.

Since Horford and Embiid both have shooting skills, the basket has been knocked out long ago.

Harris has an absolute advantage against Dillon Brooks, who plays the second position and has a shorter wingspan than his height!

After receiving the ball, he took two steps and made a layup. This set of misaligned matches left Brooks helpless.

Harris scored easily without giving his old club face. The cheers in the Vachovia Center Arena were getting louder and louder.

This is the Philadelphia 76ers now, and that's why they rank among the top in the East.

The 76ers are more likely to find misalignment opportunities than any other team.

Their five deaths are indeed very oppressive.

"The 76ers are the first to take the lead and look at the atmosphere on the scene. It's so lively! The Vacovia Center Arena is a veritable devil's home court. A data that many people didn't pay attention to is that the 76ers have only lost one game at home so far this season! Even the Grizzlies have lost twice at home this season."

Kevin Harlan was not surprised by the Sixers' performance, their home winning rate was really scary.

Link touched the wrist guards his daughter gave him, and then called everyone to suppress the attack.

This is a basketball game, and each team has its own advantages.

Sometimes, you can't even curb the opponent's advantage.

The height of the 76ers is their advantage, and the Grizzlies are really hard to solve.

Relying on defense changes? All five of them are tall, so replacing the problem cannot be solved.

It is impossible to force the rest of the Grizzlies to lengthen...

Therefore, what the Grizzlies have to do now is not to worry about their own disadvantages, but to use their own advantages to attack the other party.

This time, Link thought that it would be Simmons who would face him.

However, when he got close to outside the three-point line, he realized that the one who defended him was his former teammate Harris.

Simmons was 2.08 meters tall and really defended in front of Conley!

Simmons' defensive ability is well known. He is similar to Link, James and others, and can truly defend from No. 1 to No. 5.

Of course, it's a bit worse than Artest who played in the audience.

Moreover, Simmons is also a well-known defensive player in the league. As a player with the height of a power forward, he averaged as many steals per game this season, which is more than many short point guards. This shows Simmons' judgment on the defensive end.

Logically speaking, the strongest defensive player should be used to defend the opponent's strongest offensive player.

But the 76ers are not. This season, Simmons spent most of his time defending the opponent's No. 1 player.

As for why? Conley now has a deep understanding.

When a player with a power forward figure spreads his arms in front of Conley, he can't see anything at all!

Moreover, Simmons' long arms greatly restrict Conley's passing route.

The advantages gained by the 76ers in size and height are not only reflected on the offensive end.

Conley swallowed, and he wanted to hand the ball over to Link as soon as possible. However, Simmons seemed to see through Conley's thoughts and quickly stuck it on, interrupting Conley's ball-out movement.

Now, Conley is completely blind. No matter how powerful Link is, what's the use of not getting basketball?

Besides, Harris' defense itself is not bad. Even if Link gets the ball today, he will not be able to attack as much as he wants.

Link was about to pick up Conley, but before Link took the position, Simmons snatched the basketball from Conley's hand in the confrontation.

Then, Simmons took the opportunity to attack quickly and he ran very fast.

Link probably said Kendall Jenner was here today.

In front of my girlfriend, that boy Simmons was always full of energy.

In the end, Simmons ended the attack with a powerful tomahawk-like buckle.

Although Link tried his best to chase back, the two sides were too far apart from the beginning, so even Link was difficult to catch up.

4-0, the 76ers made a clean and neat start. Today's trouble is far more than Embiid.

Embiid laughed and rushed up and touched Simmons' head.

Sure enough, the current 76ers are worthy of defending the champion!

In fact, if Leonard had not completed the finale in the Eastern Conference semi-finals last season, God knows that would have been 76ers in the finals with the Grizzlies.

The 76ers showed off their momentum at the beginning, which also gave Embiid great confidence.
Chapter completed!
