NBA – While in Philadelphia with the Nets, Ben Simmons was once again whistled by his former audience.
Good news for the Nets, and especially the player, Ben Simmons is already back on the field. After a knee injury, after contact against the Jazz, the former All-Star point guard was dressed to challenge his former team, the Sixers. It was in Philadelphia, and the public is still angry with him for leaving after a standoff.
As proof, he was whistled when he came into play, in the middle of the first quarter, and even every time he touched the ball.
“I find it funny… I see adults losing their temper and shouting at me…” smiles Ben Simmons. ” It’s not so bad. It’s sport, and it’s part of the game. That’s why I like it.”
He appreciates it all the more since his Nets came to win in Philadelphia with a Cam Thomas on fire, and Ben Simmons, certainly silent in scoring, brings 9 rebounds and 5 assists in 18 minutes. He didn’t take a single shot!
The art of creating play and finding good shots for your teammates
“It’s impeccable” Judge Lonnie Walker. “Most of the time people talk shit about him not scoring, or things like that. But he’s a basketball player, and he knows the game very well, and he plays it the right way. »
For Jacque Vaughn, the presence of Ben Simmons changes a lot of things on both ends of the field. “In terms of drive-and-kick, this is perhaps our best production of the season” believes the Nets coach, and he praises the qualities of Ben Simmons to provoke the defense, and find standout teammates.
As for this knee injury, it would really be benign. “ It’s anything but something he’s going to drag around…” assure Jacque Vaughn. “It was something that happened in the match (Wednesday), and after two days of treatment, it passed. I hope it continues like this. »
