Embiid missed the empty goal and was once again pushed to the forefront.
Even before this campaign, Embiid averaged the league's first -6.1 points per game at key moments this season, taking over a large number of anti-fate scenes, and the name of carrying the weight forward was not covered before it was hit in the face.
But so far in his career, in the final quarter or the last 5 seconds of overtime, there is a chance to equalize or overtake, Embiid is only 1 of 18 in total, and he still can't count on the matter of a goal.
In theory, Embiid can definitely support the basic plate of the game glue period, in the personal comprehensive, both inside and outside, and there is an average of 10 free throws per game to create a killing support, perfectly combining the body size advantage with technical crushing into reality.
After developing an elite-level face-to-head solution that is not inferior to that of a defender, opponents are more difficult to defend, which is also the basis for Embiid to compete with Jokic last season and carry the banner of "center revival".
But often when the last shot is executed, the superstar is focused on, early pinch is the norm, even more so when receiving the ball under the basket or emptying the side position, Embiid, who is choked with a weak ability to play the ball, is also difficult to control the number of mistakes.
Not only that, Embiid's willingness and threat to be a blocker has never been high, and the precondition for reducing the difficulty of receiving the ball through a no-ball start-up style should have been the key for big players to reach the next level.
But he can't use this to improve himself, which will not be changed by the outside partner Simmons, who has no space threat, replaced by an average level of ball-handling defender.
Watching the 76ers be attacked by the back-to-back Eagles at home, not to mention Simmons' salary vacancy, the opponent also let Trae Young + Capela + Hunter + Hult + Gallinari a complete set of core rotations.
At present, the 76ers are worried about internal and external troubles, the management has always been reluctant to let go of Simmons' trading offers, and military instability has become the norm; this season, the Eastern Conference is combined, Philadelphia is bound to fall out of the first echelon and only rank seventh, and it is even more unrealistic to expect the playoffs to do something.
Prior to this, the 76ers could always pose simmons + Harris + Embiid three big-sized stars, and any swing shooter or flanking sapper could maintain an excellent positional battle alignment advantage.
But now Philadelphia's forward reserves are stretched, rebounds have collapsed (the league is the first in the offensive rebounding league, the defensive rebounding league is the fifth to the bottom), the number of rounds has fallen to the second to the bottom of the league (95.9 is only better than the Lone Ranger), and the defensive system of survival is difficult to support.
The building will fall, and the management will replace Simmons with anyone who is theoretically feasible, and there is no way to return to the sky.
Simmons' significance for the 76ers is to ensure the size advantage, the abundant tactical system - to take over the accurate pass of pushing and converting and the counter-attacking frame of the big meteor, to be able to suppress the core main attacker, and the outside swing elastic full of quasi-DPOY gates, which can provide more misplaced space (for Harris to steal points) and rebound contributions.
Putting aside the unspiring disarmed passing of the playoffs, if you're happy to look at Simmons as a tall wing, you'll tolerate dragging space attributes and recognize his positive contribution.
Unfortunately, Simmons is not the one who can "endure humiliation and bear heavy wages" and stay in Philadelphia for another year, and the 76ers have not been able to show enough patience to believe in the process.
Thanks for your attention, welcome to discuss, Azhe is willing to "ball" with you to get the truth, all the way to the end of the world.
