Chapter 226 The New Season Begins
The training of the 76ers continues, and the new season is getting closer.The preseason before the regular season is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the team to practice team tactics.
10月5日，穆林斯中心球馆，在这里76人队迎来了自己2016-17赛季第一场季前赛。
Their opponent is the Boston Celtics.
Although it was only a preseason game, and it was played in a small arena in the suburbs, the arena was still full.
The re-emergence of the 76ers last season, the addition of strong foreign players in the new season, and Zhang Zifeng's vow to hit the championship before the game, made Philadelphia 76ers fans eager to see how strong the 76ers are this season!
In the locker room of the 76ers, Brett Brown looked at his players and said: "Although this is just a preseason game, I ask you to take it seriously. Your performance determines your playing time in the regular season. OK, Let's play, everyone!"
Celtics starting lineup: Thomas, Bradley, Crowder, Johnson, Horford
The 76ers' starting lineup for this game: Rajon Rondo, Zhang Zifeng, Grant, Ibaka, Embiid.
With a whistle, Embiid jumped high and easily passed the ball to Rondo.
It can be seen that Embiid is recovering very well, and he did not relax himself at all while recuperating, and is still exercising.
Rondo controlled the ball, dribbled the ball steadily with his right hand and advanced to the top of the arc, then stopped. He raised his right hand high, signaling his teammates to move.
Bradley is guarding Zhang Zifeng on the perimeter. If Zhang Zifeng was easily underestimated last season, this season, no one will despise the Chinese at all. No one would want to be blown up by Zhang Zifeng as a background board .
Thomas kept interfering with Rondo's dribbling. Compared with McConnell, Rondo's ability to handle the ball is really much higher.
While dribbling the ball, Rondo kept observing the movement of the players on the court.
His eyes had already noticed that Zhang Zifeng started to run, and Rondo made a fake move, using the cover to speed up and rush into the inside line.
Johnson just moved his feet, trying to block Rondo's layup.Rondo suddenly passed the ball behind his back, and the ball was accurately delivered to Zhang Zifeng who had just ran out of space.
Zhang Zifeng received Rondo's pass and jumped up comfortably.
After the ball crossed a wonderful arc, it plunged into the basket.
Seeing the goal scored, Zhang Zifeng shook his fist excitedly.
The team has a good point guard, how much effort can I save!
The Celtics' offense, Thomas took Johnson's serve, dribbled the ball quickly through the midfield, and Rondo saw Thomas press through the half court and immediately pressed up.
Rondo stared closely at Thomas as he dribbled.
Horford saw Thomas' gesture and immediately pulled it out.
Horford pulled out, and Embiid immediately followed. He did not run out of the outside line, but was ready to block Thomas' breakthrough in the inside line at any time.
With the help of Horford's cover, Thomas accelerated to the inside.
Embiid retreated and stared closely at Thomas who rushed inside.
After Thomas passed Rondo, he cut directly to the inside, faced the basket, accelerated again, and took off with his left foot on the ground, a standard basket-picking action.
After a brief gliding, he flicked the ball to the basket with a flick of his finger.
Looking at the rising ball, suddenly a big hand appeared.
"Snapped!"
The rising basketball immediately changed its direction and flew to the outside line.
Before anyone else could react, Rondo had already rushed to grab the ball, and then rushed to the frontcourt quickly.
Rondo hit the frontcourt and felt someone chasing behind him. Rondo jumped up and threw the ball on the backboard.
Bradley originally wanted to give Rondo a chasing hat, but there was absolutely no way to face this throw.
The ball bounced off the backboard.
When Rondo dribbled forward with the ball, Zhang Zifeng followed up immediately and made a leap in the penalty area.
Zhang Zifeng received the ball in the air and dunked it heavily into the basket with one hand.
After landing, Zhang Zifeng happily stretched out his fist to touch Rondo. "That's a great pass, man!"
Rondo also said proudly, "You have to be able to keep up, otherwise my pass will be wasted!"
Embiid defended successfully and gave his opponent a block.Rondo passed the ball very well, Zhang Zifeng had outstanding awareness, and immediately followed up and scored the ball.
Seeing the team's wonderful defensive counterattack, Brett Brown standing on the sidelines couldn't help shouting. "Nice job! Nice job guys, just hit it!"
The fans at the scene also gave warm applause for the wonderful performance of the 76ers.
After several seasons of training, Thomas is no longer as frizzy as he was when he first entered the league, and he has become calm.
Facing being blocked, Thomas quickly adjusted, "Offensive, we have to counterattack!"
"Defense!"
Zhang Zifeng also shouted, while quickly retreating to the backcourt.
This time Thomas took advantage of the emergency stop to step back and made a successful mid-range shot.
2: 5!
In the transition between offense and defense, Rondo quickly dribbled through the half court again, and the 76ers launched an offense.
Thomas knows that with his height, if he wants to gain a foothold in the league, there is no other way but to fight hard.
You have to fight when you attack, and you have to fight when you defend.
Thomas desperately entangled Rondo, so that Rondo couldn't find a chance to break through for a while.
Although he was nearly [-] centimeters taller than Thomas, his jump shot...
Forget it, Rajon Rondo would rather believe in his breakthrough than his shooting.
Rondo signaled with a look, and Ibacara came out.
With the help of a screen, Rondo went inside, but under Horford's interference, he made a layup and flew out this time.
When Rondo made a layup, Zhang Zifeng rushed into the penalty area and stuck Johnson immediately.
When seeing the ball fall, Zhang Zifeng arched his buttocks back, and then used his legs to jump up vigorously.
When Johnson just wanted to grab the seat, he didn't expect that the seat was given to Zhang Zifeng first.
He didn't go around to regain his position several times. When Johnson was about to rely on his height and bounce to grab the rebound,
Just as he was jumping, Zhang Zifeng gave him a push with his butt, and Johnson couldn't jump right away.
Zhang Zifeng jumped up and grabbed the rebound.
As soon as he grabbed the rebound, Zhang Zifeng turned around, feinted and tricked Johnson.
Only at this time did Zhang Zifeng take off, raised his hand and made a shot, and the ball hit the board and went into the basket.
2:7, the 76ers lead by 5 points.
Last season, Zhang Zifeng rarely scored in the penalty area, let alone grabbing rebounds, except for emergency stop jump shots or layups.
Unexpectedly, not long after the opening, Zhang Zifeng rushed into the penalty area to overwhelm Johnson to grab a rebound, and then scored a goal in the penalty area.
"Oh my god, Zhang grabbed the rebound! Didn't he! Could it be that my eyes are dazzled?"
"Is this really a Zhang? Oh, bought it. It's just incredible!"
"What Charles said is true, this season, Zhang will surprise everyone!"
"I've seen Zhang's big game in the new season. He made up for his shortcomings, and he will become even stronger!"
The 76ers fans at the scene were stunned by Zhang Zifeng's rebound and scoring in the penalty area!
The fans in the auditorium were having a heated discussion.
Seeing the ball scored, Zhang Zifeng smiled.
The efforts of this summer were not in vain!
