Embiid can't be bypassed in judging this season's MVP, and Barkley recently said that no one in the NBA this season is better than Embiid. In the past 30 days, Embiid has also played a dominant performance. Can he make up for last season's shortcomings?
In today's game, the 76ers won 109-98 on the road to the Heat, Embiid played 36 minutes, shooting 12-of-22 and 8-of-11 from the free throw line, with 32 points, 12 rebounds and three assists. And for Embiid's performance, the 76ers are already not surprised.
According to Stat Muse, Embiid has averaged 31.8 points and 10.1 rebounds per game in the past 30 days, shooting 53.7% of the total, averaging 11.6 free throws per game, leading the team to 10 wins and 4 losses. The US media also sighed that Embiid has been the most difficult player to defend in the past month.
In fact, in this game, Embiid still played with an injury, and before the game, there was news that Embiid was injured in the elbow and was in doubt about playing in this game. However, when it comes to the field, Embiid is still indispensable to the 76ers.
The trading deadline is approaching recently, and Embiid has recently expressed his opinion on whether 76 needs to be traded. He said that while most of the 76ers' players, including himself, remained healthy, the 76ers made 21 wins and nine losses, the top win rate in the league. So the 76ers don't have to rush to make changes, including the Ben Simmons deal.
In the 2020-21 season, Embiid led the MVP list for a long time, but then he was injured and gave up the throne to Jokic. This season, Embiid's personal performance is impeccable, and the current 76ers are 5th in the Eastern Zone with 25 wins and 17 losses. It's worth mentioning that this result was achieved when Simmons did not play in any game for the 76ers this season. Undoubtedly, this will give Embiid a lot of points.
The 76ers are now 1.5 wins behind the Heat at No. 3 in the East Side. If the 76ers can make it to the top 3 in the East Side, Embiid should be among the MVP. After missing last season, can Embiid make up for the lack this season? (Supine Braces/Hairy)
