This is indeed a very fierce duel, and every match is breathtaking. The coaches of both teams constantly give answers with chips in hand. Some of the answers may be based on adjustments made from previous content, but ultimately that’s the game. It’s consequentialism.

1. About Joel Embiid himself

Many people criticized him for leaving a lot of shooting gaps in the fourth quarter, choosing to hit inside and not buying fouls. However, compared to previous games, in my opinion, in order to avoid knee injuries and burdens, he has more shooting options. It was evident that from the start of the first quarter he was trying more to create offensive opportunities inside, and was also performing very well in the third quarter, causing foul trouble for Isaiah Hartenstein when Mitchell Robinson was unable to play.

Of course, you may have your own preferences regarding Embiid’s obvious attempt to provoke fouls (I don’t like that either), but in the fourth quarter it’s always a gap of one or two possessions, coupled with the New York Knicks game. arrangement – a bit As we will mention later, let OG Anunoby face Embiid on the first line – with the player’s characteristics, once Embiid fails to score from the outside, the offense is over. Is this really such an unacceptable choice for Embiid. choose to play indoors?

So if Embiid chooses to shoot a mid-range shot but fails to score, then after the rebound is controlled by Nick, Anunoby turns and steps out to execute the fast break. Will we say that Embiid is afraid of collisions and only that? dare to play easy shots?

2. About the people in front of Embiid

The Nicks are obviously prepared for how to handle the “current” Embiid if Robinson can’t play, or if Precious Achiuwa has to play, i.e. using Anunoby on the top line, from ball blocking to shooting through holding the ball. the intervention on the trajectory of the ball and the first stage of the ball launch are then managed by the very mobile second line of Achiuwa; Of course, Embiid’s explosiveness and stamina after returning from injury allows Achiuwa’s help defense to catch up, which is definitely an advantage. The key is that the Knicks suffered injuries in the penalty area during the season and relied heavily on Achiuwa, who also became the food of this game.

Additionally, Anunoby’s defensive skills also make it much riskier to start the pick-and-roll then give the ball to Embiid, because every time the ball is given a short distance, it’s a defense for a top defender like Anunoby. . Opportunity.

Early in the analysis of the game, it was mentioned that the Knicks had the most players and methods capable of attempting to take down Embiid. In the four games so far, the Knicks have consistently made moves based on Embiid’s on-site condition. ; maybe Tom Thibodeau always was. He’s not a coach seen as being able to adapt quickly during games, but in this series he’s clearly prepared with plenty of defensive strategies for Embiid, including the two northern reinforcements.

3. Regarding Brunson, he continued to play Embiid.

When the Knicks noticed Embiid’s mobility decline and the defender facing Brunson was Kelly Oubre Jr. or Tobias Harris, the response after the pick-and-roll was different. When Oubre faced Brunson, he almost changed after the block. , who was relatively unable to recover at the beginning, turned into Brunson, who was able to defeat Embiid one-on-one.

When Harris plays against Brunson, Brunson is less likely to ask players in the penalty area to block him. He will mainly beat him one-on-one. This usually happens when Miles McBride is on the field at the same time. including Josh Hart, have three. An initiator who can hold the ball can allow Brunson to run without the ball first and at the same time move Embiid to the far side so Brunson can initiate.

When not in possession, McBride made 4.2 shots per game and a 41/7% three-point catch-and-shoot rate after the All-Star Game this season, while the rate Brunson’s catch and shoot rate in the regular season reached 44.5%, and Hart has a three-point catch and shoot rate. Even though touching returns to normal, the strange fate of being automatically sucked in by missed balls has become the norm, allowing McBride, Hart and Brunson to distribute the ball however they want.
