With Joel Embiid sidelined by left knee soreness on Sunday night, the Sixers
played perhaps their ugliest game of the season, a 34-point loss to the Trail
Blazers that wasn’t even as close as the final score indicates.
On Tuesday night in Los Angeles, Embiid was back in the lineup, and it’s no
coincidence the Sixers beat the Clippers, 119-113.
Up by as many as 24 points, the Sixers saw their lead trimmed to four in the
fourth quarter, but they held on for the win, moving to 24-14.
前天的比赛 Joel Embiid 因为左膝不适缺席，七六人经历了可能是本季最糟糕的一场比
赛，以 34 分差输给了拓荒者队。
稍早的比赛 Embiid 重回先发阵容，七六人也以 119-113 击败了快艇队，这场胜利和
Embiid 的复出绝对不是巧和而已。
七六人一度领先多达 24 分，然而在第四节又被对手追到 4 分差，好险七六人守住最后
的胜利将战绩推进到 24 胜 14 败。
Embiid had 28 points and 19 rebounds, while Ben Simmons posted 14 points,
nine rebounds and eight assists.
Jimmy Butler had 16 points, six rebounds and four assists before being
ejected for an altercation in the fourth quarter.
The Sixers finish their five-game road trip Wednesday night against the Suns
(9 p.m./NBCSP). They’ve split the first four games of the trip.
Embiid 得到 28 分 19 篮板，Simmons 则是贡献 14 分 9 篮板以及 8 个助攻。
Jimmy Butler 在第四节被驱逐出场前留下了 16 分 6 篮板和 4 助攻的数据。
明天和太阳队的比赛将是他们客场五连战的最后一场，前四场比赛胜率刚好一半。
‧ Embiid announced his return to the floor by promptly drilling a
three-pointer from the top of the key on his first touch.
The 7-foot-3 Boban Marjanovic is bigger than Embiid, but Embiid is much, much
quicker in the post.
Embiid 以弧顶三分来向全场球迷宣告他回来了！
尽管七呎三的 Boban Marjanovic 比 Embiid 来的高大（7-0），但是 Embiid 的速度相
较之下快太多了。

Embiid slowed down a little offensively after scoring 15 first-quarter
points, but his impact was still massive.
Even when Embiid isn’t scoring, the Sixers’ defense is so much better when
he’s patrolling the paint, deterring drives and cleaning up perimeter
mistakes. You can see why he led the NBA in plus-minus during the 2018
calendar year.
第一节得到 15 分之后 Embiid 暂缓了他在进攻端的表现，但是在场上他还是十分有影响
力的。
就算 Embiid 停止得分，只要他站在油漆区就能在防守端干扰对手进攻篮框来达到很大的
帮助。他在 2018 的正负值榜单上也是联盟顶尖的呢。
‧ With 9:32 left in the fourth quarter, Embiid was less than pleased with
how long Patrick Beverley held onto his arm on a foul. The two exchanged
words, then a couple hard pushes.
第四节剩下 9 分 32 秒时 Embiid 显然对 Patrick Beverley（小AB）抓住他手臂的犯规
很不满，两人互喷垃圾话并切互相推挤。

Both players were assessed technical fouls.
The scuffling didn’t end there. A little over two minutes later, Butler got
tangled up with Avery Bradley. Butler gave Bradley a hard, two-handed shove
in the throat before Simmons immediately stepped in to support his teammate.
Butler and Bradley were ejected.
裁判送给两位球员各一个技术犯规。（小编：各打五十大板!!!!!）
过两分钟左右 Butler 和 Avery Bradley 互相纠缠，在 Simmons 卡在两人中间企图阻止
冲突过大前 Butler 已经狠狠的往对方喉咙部份推了一下。
Butler 和 Avery Bradley 都被判驱逐出场。（小编：各打一百大板!!!!!）
‧ Simmons’ first attempted jump shot was out of necessity. He air-balled a
contested, fadeaway jumper at the end of the shot clock.
His second jumper was very much a choice. Without any hesitation, midway
through the first period he stepped into a 16-foot shot from the left corner.
He missed it, but the mere attempt was encouraging to see from the standpoint
of Simmons’ development.
Simmons 的第一个跳投出手显得有些没必要，在进攻时间要到之前尝试后仰跳投结果投了
个篮外空心。
相较之下第二个跳投就十分正确，果断的在 16 呎的距离跳投。
尽管这次出手一样没进，但是以 Simmons 的未来发展来看这样的尝试是很棒的。
‧ The Sixers scored a season-high 76 first-half points, and it wasn’t all
because of Embiid.
Everyone was hitting shots, from Butler to Mike Muscala to JJ Redick, who had
16 points on 5 for 6 shooting in the first half.
The ball movement was also exemplary, with 20 assists on 28 made first-half
field goals.
七六人上半场创下本季新高的 76 分，这不全是因为 Embiid 的回归造成的。
大家都参与了进攻，从 Butler 到 Mike Muscala 到 JJ Redick，JJ Redick 上半场就以
6 投 5 中得到 16 分。
球的转移也非常的棒，上半场 28 次入球其中就夹带着 20 的助攻在其中。
‧ The Sixers' 20 turnovers helped the Clippers hang around. They now have 57
turnovers over the past three games.
然而七六人的 20 个失误也让快艇有机会追上，过去三场比赛总共累计了 57 次失误。
‧ He didn’t have any of his patented, high-flying blocks, but Jonah Bolden
gave the Sixers 15 quality minutes.
Bolden had nine points on 4 for 4 shooting, including a soaring put-back slam
early in the fourth quarter, pulled down six rebounds and played solid
interior defense.
Beyond this road trip, Bolden is making a good case for sticking in the
rotation.
Jonah Bolden 在联盟还没有什么代表性的招牌，像是火锅封阻之类的，不过他在场上的
15 分钟给球队带来很大的帮助。
Bolden 以 4 投 4 中的命中率得到 9 分，其中包含了第四节惊彩的补篮，另外还有 6
篮板和优异的防守表现。

这几场客场比赛下来，Bolden 慢慢展现了他在阵容中的价值。
‧ As a unit, this was the best the bench has looked on the Sixers’ road
trip.
Unlike many nights this season, there weren’t any players who got exposed or
were obvious negatives. (Furkan Korkmaz did shoot 1 for 6, but he wasn’t
terrible defensively.)
Embiid’s presence in the middle certainly helps make everyone look good, but
the defensive effort across the board was much improved.
T.J. McConnell, a team-worst minus-38 against Portland, had 11 points, three
assists, four steals and was a plus-3.
在客场之旅的几战中今天的比赛是板凳球员表现最好的一场了。
不像这季的一些比赛一样，今天的比赛没有任何球员表现的特别糟糕。（Furkan
Korkmaz 虽然只有 6 投 1 中的表现，但是在防守上的表现并不差）。
Embiid 只要在场上就能让大家的表现都跟着提升，尤其是在防守端的效果更为显著。
T.J. McConnell 在上一场比赛留下全队最糟的 -38 正负值表现，这场比赛他得到 11 分
3 助攻和 4 抄截，正负值为 -3。
‧ Markelle Fultz will reportedly be re-evaluated early next week (see
story). The second-year guard, who has been undergoing physical therapy for
thoracic outlet syndrome in Los Angeles, was with the team for Tuesday night’
s game.
据报导 Markelle Fultz 会在下周再一次进行评估，这名二年级生一直在洛杉矶接受胸廓
出口综合症的治疗。
