The game between the 76ers and the Magic was completely reduced to Embiid's show.
At the beginning of the game, Embiid showed a strong desire to attack, constantly working on the inside, and 20 of the team's first 22 points were scored by Embiid.
In the second quarter, Embiid only took 4 points, just when everyone thought that Embiid's performance in the first quarter was just a flash in the pan, I didn't expect embiid to actually be accumulating strength, and in the third quarter, Embiid pulled the opening curtain again and began to perform, shooting 8 of 10 in a single quarter, with 23 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
If it weren't for the Magic, Embiid's score could have been a little more, and in the fourth quarter, Embiid scored the 50th point, and the Magic team completely surrendered, so Embiid's data stayed on 50 points and 10 rebounds.
To get this statistic, he only took 27 minutes.
What is this concept? That's the sign of invincibility.
You know, according to statistics, since the 1982-83 season, only two players in the NBA can score 50 points in 28 minutes, except for Embiid, which is the amazing 29 minutes and 60 points in 2018.
But the key, Clay is a three-point shooter, and basically does not take the ball to attack, just run the position, and then shoot, and Embiid, who is holding the ball and playing on the inside line.
Of course, this does not mean that Clay's gold content is not enough, but it just shows that embiid's interior line is very, very difficult to get so many points in such a short period of time.
But Embiid did just that.
Counting this game, this is embiid's third consecutive game to cut 30+, and the 11th 30+ in the last 12 games, which not only reflects Embiid's strength, but also reflects Embiid's difficulty.
This season, because Ben Simmons refused to play for Philadelphia, the 76ers have been playing without an All-Star, and Embiid is also a single-player team.
At the beginning of the season, Embiid laid down his body and begged Ben Simmons to return to play, but Simmons not only refused to receive Embiid's call, refused to return Embiid's message, and even Embiid wanted to visit his home.
This annoyed Embiid and he made a public statement that they didn't need Simmons at all.
And the truth is also true, so far this season, Embiid can average 27.3 points + 10.5 rebounds + 4.2 assists + 1.1 steals + 1.3 blocks per game of luxury data, both in terms of points and rebounds in the top ten in the league, and, as a center, Embiid's three-point shooting rate is even as high as 38%.
In the current NBA official MVP ranking and the best defensive player ranking, Embiid is on the list, and Embiid is not a brush, he single-handedly led the team, leading the team to the current sixth place in the East, and close to the cavaliers in the fourth place in the East.
Whether it is personal data or team results, Embiid can be described by the word "powerful".
It's just that someone is embarrassed.
Ben Simmons originally thought that without himself, the 76ers would become a bad team, so that as long as he did nothing, the 76ers management would have to rush him for resources like the Rockets did with Harden, and he could even coerce the team to send him to the team he wanted to go to, such as the Warriors.
But all this is based on the fact that after the 76ers have no him, they will be directly devastated, but what he did not expect was that the 76ers did not have the same as him, and what he did not expect was that the 76ers management would not sell him at a low price even if they spoiled him in their hands.
In this way, Ben Simmons is now the most passive.
According to the latest news, the 76ers will continue to fine him because of Simmons' absence from the game, so Simmons not only can't get the salary, but also has to post money to the 76ers, which is completely different from what he originally envisioned as a grandfather at home.
Simmons wanted to be soft, but the 76ers refused to let him play, after all, the chemistry of the team is very good now, Simmons and his teammates have also been frozen, it is not necessary or impossible to let him come back, the reason given by the 76ers is that Simmons has a mental state and cannot play, which is exactly the same as Simmons's reason for fooling the 76ers, can only say that Simmons was stumbled by the stones he threw, self-inflicted, useless, and there is no way to retreat.
I'm afraid Simmons has nothing else to ask for now, as long as there is a team that wants him, he can go anywhere.
Is there a market for Simmons? Of course, there is a market, many teams want him, and they have also given offers.
For example, the Eagles gave them an offer based on Collins and the draft picks, with some scraps, but Philadelphia still felt that it was too low.
Another example is the Kings, they gave the offer of Hield + Barnes + Halliburton for Simmons, and they are willing to eat Harris's garbage contract, the specific plan is as follows: the Kings package and send Hield + Halliburton + Barnes, from the 76ers to get Simmons + Harris + Sable + 2 first-round signings.
This deal has a great improvement for the 76ers' immediate combat strength, Hield and Barnes are both extremely powerful players, and Halliburton is a bright future star, and the 76ers can not only send Simmons, but also get rid of Harris's big contract, which is very worthwhile.
As for the first round, the 76ers' first round is not worth much, and the only estimate that makes the 76ers reluctant is Sable, but if the deal is reached, the 76ers will have the strength to compete for the championship.
The offer was very, very sincere, but the 76ers still didn't accept it, they thought it was still too low, and they wanted the king to add Fox to it.
Ah this, the appetite of the 76 people is also too big.
Compared with the Hawks and Kings, the offers given by other teams are much more cold, especially the Lakers, and they also vainly want to exchange Westbrook for Simmons, which is simply a pipe dream.
There are still 20 days before the trading market closes, if you can't trade Simmons, then you have to wait until the summer, the 76ers can trade Simmons again, it is estimated that Simmons will definitely be shot during this time, otherwise Embiid will have emotions, this season is a good opportunity to win the championship.
What can Simmons do? All Simmons can do now is ask Rich Paul to quickly let the other teams add more chips, otherwise the next step is really to sell the house.
Or, he could cry and get down on his knees begging Embiid to come back to the team and play a game or something.
