The 76ers beat the Hornets 110-106, winning three straight games while closing the winning margin with the Heat and Wizards to half a game, temporarily ranking sixth in the East. Perhaps, some fans will say that the 76ers, who have the current league's first center Embiid, defeated the Hornets who are missing major generals (three goals, Rozier), what can they brag about!
In fact, compared to the Hornets, which lacked major generals, the 76ers have suffered more embarrassment so far this season, because the core of the team, Ben Simmons, has completely broken up with the team, and the rumors of the trade taking him away are flying around, but most of the role players are in danger at night, worried about being treated as a trade sweet to go to other teams.
However, just from the 76ers' narrow victory over the Hornets, Philadelphia fans can see a little hope!
Retrieve curry of the "sniper rifle"!
In the game against the Hornets, Curry played 34 minutes, 8 of 14 shots, including 4 of 8 from outside the three-point line, cutting the team's second-highest 23 points, plus a game-high 8 assists, there is no doubt that Curry is now playing the role of "two bosses" in the 76ers.
Some fans said that Embiid abused the Hornets' inner line in this campaign, from the data point of view, after all, Embiid stood on the free throw line 19 times in this campaign, scored 15 points, only 2 times less than the Hornets, but fans who watched the game will definitely find that embiid can call the wind and rain on the inside line, Curry has an indelible credit.
Role players are united in their power!
According to statistics, the 76ers have averaged 24th in the league in points per game so far this season, in other words, the sixth-to-last in the league. However, the 76ers' bench in this campaign blew up the Hornets, and the "pile god" Drummond became a "substitute", in 15 minutes, he cut 8 points, 5 boards and 2 assists, plus 2 steals and 1 block, so that Embiid got plenty of rest.
Interpret "wherever the emperor goes, there is no grass"!
Whether it is the excellent bench or Curry's power, it is inseparable from Embiid's dominance on the inside. In this campaign, Embiid played 32 minutes, hit 8 goals in 17 shots, and shot a game-high 32 points, plus 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 19 free throws were the best proof of dominating the inside line, but what was even more valuable was that there was only one mistake.
A few days ago, the US media broke the news that the Philadelphia 76ers are discussing a big deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, and the plan is: "Philadelphia gets Lillard + Zeller, portland gets Harris + Sable + Maxi + three first-round draft picks." If successful, the 76ers will clearly be one of the most powerful teams in the East.
