On January 26, Beijing time, who is the strongest center of the season? Embiid and Jokic would be the two most easily mentioned names. When Jokic blasted down the 28+21+9 big double 20 quasi-triple-double, Embiid was on the same day with 33 minutes 24-of-12 and free throws 10-of-20, bombing 42 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks to lead the team to double digits to reverse the Pelicans, and he averaged 42.5 points, 12.8 baskets, 4.5 assists and 2.3 blocks in the last four games, basically locking the Eastern Conference All-Star start, and is also expected to impact the first regular season MVP of his career.
In last season's regular season MVP competition, Embiid was in second place and did not win, and he lost to another center, Jokic. Embiid and Jokic are basically in single-core mode this season, the Nuggets lack Murray and Porter Jr., and Philadelphia lack Simmons, but both centers have repeatedly played super performances.
Embiid played against the Pelicans, and he blasted 42 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks in 33 minutes, especially the crazy fouls to win 20 free throws, which completely blew the Pelicans' interior defense.
Looking at Embiid's performance in the last 4 games, the details are as follows:
Against the Pelicans: 42 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks in 33 minutes
Against the Spurs: 32 minutes, 38 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists
Against the Clippers: 40 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists in 37 minutes
Facing the Magic: 50 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 blocks in 27 minutes
Embiid has led the team to a record of 3 wins and 1 loss in the last 4 games with the help of continuous crazy performances, only to be lost by the Clippers' big reversal, and Embiid has also created a number of feats:
First, Embiid has averaged 42.5 points, 12.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.3 blocks in the last four games, shooting 57.7% from the field.
Second, Embiid became the first player in Philadelphia history to be able to shoot down at least 38 points and 12 points in four consecutive games, while Chamberlain had done so in three consecutive games.
Third, Embiid scored 25+ points in 15 consecutive games, becoming the first philadelphia player to do so since Iverson, who had a career of 27 consecutive games and 25+.
Fourth, Embiid has fired 30+ in the past 15 games and 14 times, becoming the first person in Philadelphia's history.
Fifth, Embiid became the first player to score 30+ in 15 games in the last 3 years since Harden in 2019.
Embiid's continued crazy performance has undoubtedly put him into the competition of the regular season MVP, especially since he led Philadelphia to a current record of 28 wins and 19 losses, ranking 6th in the East, and only 2 wins away from the Heat in the East, and is expected to continue to improve the ranking.
