They lost the initiative at the start, but the 76ers did not panic.
Ben Simmons was worthy of being the top pick. His mentality was much more stable than Ingram's. He controlled the rhythm of the game and calmly directed his teammates to run.
In the previous game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Pelican, the starting touch was not obedient and they fell behind by a few goals. The entire team did not have a leader to stand up, and the morale was low. They lost points one after another.
Ben Simmons used the cover to block McConaughey's line of sight. McConaughey feigned a shot and broke through with the ball, while Ben Simmons ran without the ball.
Yu Huo followed closely and kept watching the movements of the other members.
Ben Simmons couldn't get rid of the residual fire after circling around. He turned around and went out of the three-point line to receive the ball, but he immediately threw the ball straight to Jeremy Grant in the bottom corner.
Ben Simmons once again ran without the ball. The remaining fire turned around and followed closely, but he bumped into the 76ers 'big center, Holmes!
No ball to cover!
"Change defense! Ingram will fill in!"
Remnant Fire immediately commanded. Ingram snorted in displeasure and still went up to Ben Simmons who was charging.
Grant rubbed his hands together and passed the ball to Simmons. The top scorer did not stop and took advantage of the situation to break through and sprint. He headed Ingram, who was defending in a misplaced position, and suddenly turned around to pass him!
Zubacs quickly helped defend under the basket, but Ben Simmons, who was flying in the air, lowered his hand and directly gave the ball to Embiid.
"Bang!"
Embiid ended the attack with a dunk and jumped off the hoop to express his awesomeness.
When he came back to his senses, Ingram asked for the ball. When he got the ball, he played a solo match without saying anything, but when he broke through, he was blocked by Embiid!
"Brandon, you were too hasty!”Warton shouted anxiously from the sidelines, frowning and shaking his head.
Yu Huo had also seen Ingram's performance and was thinking about how to " teach " him.
Beat him up?
A one-on-one humiliation?
Or should he let him run his own course and eventually give up on him?

"Oh? The system even issued such a mission? " I didn't know that you were such a humane System," Yu Huo complained." Alright, I was going to help this young man…"
Ingram's main problem now was that he was stuck in a dead end, trying to suppress Ember through his one-on-one 'brilliant' performance.
Being young was like that. He was stubborn and fearless. In any case, he still had the energy to play.
Although " newborn calves are not afraid of tigers ", they would still be bitten to death by tigers!
It was easy to fix this problem, and Yu Huo planned to end it in this match.
"Return to defense!"
Yu Huo shouted and chased after Ben Simmons, not giving him a chance to enter the penalty area.
However, Ben Simmons 'ability was on display. He pushed forward with the remaining fire, suddenly pulled up the ball and threw it under the basket. This obviously wasn't a shot.
The 76ers 'small forward, Jeremy Grant, took advantage of Ingram's surprise to sneak into the penalty area. He leaped up and caught the ball in the air, hitting it with a light rebound.
At the kick-off, Ingram came over to ask for the ball again, but Zubacs ignored him and sent the ball to the embers.
Ingram didn't say a word. He slowly ran toward the front field with a livid face.
" Wait, Brandon." Yu Huo suddenly said," Let's have a competition."”
"What?" " What?" Ingram asked in surprise.”
" Of course, it's to see who has the highest score," Yu Huo said." I won't bully you. Let's each score a ball and see who has the highest score in the end!"”
Ingram was motivated. What he wanted was a chance to compete with Yu Huo." Alright! I'll let you have those three points. I'll definitely beat you!”
Yu Huo's lips curled up. What a hot-blooded young man. It was so good to be young…
He held the ball at the top of the residual fire arc. Facing Ben Simmons, he used Kobe's signature skill-a backflip and a fadeaway jump shot.
The steady dribble and smooth turn made the ball look extremely gorgeous. It was a picturesque back-up shot. Ben Simmons could only watch as the ball passed his fingertips and landed steadily in the hoop.
"It's Yu! He copied Kobe Bryant's jump shot, and the similarity was... a hundred ~~ points ~~ in ~~ a hundred!”
Following the host's commentary, the scene erupted again.
When he came back to his senses, Ben Simmons controlled the ball again. The ghostly guide threw the ball to Embiid, who was standing near the center line. Seeing that Zubacs was far away from him, Embiid immediately raised his hand and hit the ball steadily.
The Los Angeles team attacked. This time, it was Ingram's turn. Yu Huo signaled his teammates to pull away. Several teammates were willing to listen to him, so they gave the opportunity to attack to Ingram.
Ingram's matchup was Jeremy Grant, the No. 39 pick of the 76ers in 2014. He was no match for Ingram in terms of the draft rankings.
Ingram didn't disappoint either. He swung his long arms left and right and quickly found an opportunity to break into the penalty area with the ball. He got up and hit the board.
"Phew!"
Ingram happily let out a sigh of relief. He felt that he had saved some of the face he had lost in the last game. In the last game, he did not hit any of his layups, and the two fouls he had won were also very eye-catching.
Ingram looked at the embers provocatively and seemed to be full of energy again.
After a few rounds, Wharton seemed to have understood what Yu Huo was thinking and made a " maintain " gesture to his teammates.
"He's a good player. He's low-key, calm, and has a high EQ.”Wharton sighed, and in his heart, he couldn't help but grow the idea of helping Yu Huo ascend.
Just like that, the " competition " between the two continued until the end of the second quarter with the tacit approval of the entire team.
