The NBA entered the small-ball era without knowing how many high-quality interior lines were buried. No speed can quickly make up for defense, even if your interior footwork and offensive skills are strong, it is difficult to get the recognition of most teams. It's hard for centers to make a difference, but it can't be said that there are no quality centers.
I woke up today to see the 76ers playing against the Magic. Embiid and Bamba, the two team centers, directly pulled the game back to the 90s, the era of interior battles, close-quarters combat. A hearty internal battle directly brought the big dream back to the youth era.
The two interior showdowns scored 82 points together, giving fans a feast of hearts. Bamba has always been a recognized rim-guarding blue-collar interior, with the offensive end always being questioned. Today's performance is so explosive, now punching in the face of those who once questioned themselves.
Bamba played just 29 minutes and efficiently recorded 32 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks on 12-of-15 shooting. The most noteworthy is the 7-of-8 three-pointer, is this still a center? Stunned many defenders in the league, Bamba's three-point shot is so accurate, so that the defenders are embarrassed.
Magic as a team rich in centers, once the interior overlord Shark O'Neal, and then the Warcraft Howard, now will shoot three points of high battery center Bamba, or the existence of the only gear. Bamba's three-pointer also broke the team's all-time record, becoming the center player with the most three-point shots in a single game in the team's history. After all, the above two seniors are free throws are problems!
I thought Bamba could play with this game, but embiid didn't give him a chance. Bamba was already acting fiercely, and I didn't expect the other one to be stronger than him.
I am really not afraid that the center will shoot if he does not grab the board. Embiid's inside line can go from the three-point line to the reasonable collision zone, there is no point he can't score, you are stronger and stronger, playing Bamba has no temper.
Killing this inside line is terrifying! Embiid played only 27 points in the whole game, scoring 20 points in the first quarter and clocking out of work in the third quarter. On 17-of-23 shooting, he recorded 50 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks. Both offensive and defensive ends dominated the game with absolute crushing strength.
It took just 27 minutes to cut a 50+10 statistic, which is also the fastest player in NBA history.
After the game, when the reporter asked the emperor how his mentality had adjusted this season, the emperor said: "Yes, like you said, a lot of things have happened this season, the team has missed some important players, this season we have not had a full lineup, but anyway, my job is to block the noise and try to dominate the game, not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end." ”
Embiid spoke bluntly, he was no longer needed, and Simmons didn't have to come back.
