On December 31, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Nets lost to Philadelphia 102-110. In the final moments of the game, basketball star Durant and Philadelphia boss Embiid began to spew out passionately, and the two also received a technical foul each.
Interestingly, just after the game, the two sides had a wave of passionate interaction in the middle circle, Durant first applauded and then thumbed up with both hands, and Embiid immediately responded to the same action, which also triggered a heated discussion among fans.
Interestingly, though, while the two seem to be at odds on the pitch, off the pitch, the situation is diametrically opposed. Embiid was even more blunt in an interview after the game that he was full of respect for Durant and blew him wildly.
'I think if there's any player who is more talented than me, it's definitely Durant. Embiid said in a post-match interview, "I have a lot of respect for him and I appreciate his game. As for the turmoil on the pitch, we are all just competing for the best, winning is the most important thing, every game is. ”
Durant held the same view after the game, saying that he and Embiid respect each other, so it is inevitable that there will be a spark of competition when they fight. And Durant also deliberately emphasized that Embiid did not say much in this game, nor did he say anything out of the box.
In this game, Durant scored 33 points on 13-of-24 shooting, and Embiid scored 34 points on 11-of-23 shooting.
