A "Missing" Poster in Brooklyn Targets Simmons

A "missing" poster mocking Sixersstar Ben Simmons' shot was stuck on a traffic sign outside Barclays Center before the third game in the Brooklyn Nets series against Philadelphia.

Jokingly, the poster offered a $ 26,620,450 reward for Simmons' shooting recovery – the amount of the goalie's rookie contract.

Simmons, who scored 21 attempts in 93 attempts between 10 and 24 feet in the regular season, followed his triple double (18 points, 12 badists, 10 rebounds) in Philadelphia's match 2 win.

After Wednesday's training, Jared Dudley, a veteran of the Nets, termed Simmons' "efficiency" as half-court offensive, which is partly the product of his lack of menacing defenses with a shot back.

"I think Ben Simmons is a great player in transition, and once you've slowed down in the half-court, I think he's average," said Dudley, who will likely defend Simmons in the third match.

"It's a player who, when he's gaining speed, is a load, so you have to have two guys with him, for him it takes away his easy baskets, if you're in the wrong way, block him. and make him make free throws.If he is 4-on-4, continue to heal him.The odds tell you what are his percentages for free throws.Something like that, you have to have it. stop in transition. "

When Dudley's badessment was forwarded to Simmons on Thursday morning, he replied, "It's from Jared Dudley, come on."

The team series is tied 1-1 in match 3 on Thursday.
