The NBA regular season continued, Philadelphia reversed the Pelicans, Embiid played 33 minutes to blast 42 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists, the battlefield is still like no man's land.
It's a sustained outburst of Embiid's last four games. In the previous three games, Philadelphia played against the Magic, Clippers and Spurs, and Embiid's statistics were 50 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists, 40 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists, 38 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists.
In these four games, Embiid averaged 42.5 points, 12.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, shooting 57.7% from the field and 38.5% from three-point range. He made 13.3 free throws in every game and was unparalleled in his dominance.
It is worth mentioning that Embiid is also the only player in the league to average 40+ points per game in the last four games, whether it is the Bulls' DeRozan, the Nuggets' Jokic or the Lakers' James.
With the explosion of super data again and again, Embiid is constantly breaking records. After this game against the Pelicans, Embiid became the first player in Philadelphia history to score 38+12 in four consecutive games, surpassing Chamberlain (3 games). Meanwhile, he has scored 30+ in 14 of his last 15 games and is the first man in the history of the team. The last player in the league to play such a performance was Harden in 2019. In addition, Embiid is also the second Philadelphia player since Iverson to play 25+ in 15 consecutive games.
It is precisely because of his excellent personal performances and the fact that Philadelphia is still improving this season without Simmons's current record (2 wins away from the Heat in the East, currently ranked 6th), for which Embiid has received more and more recognition.
In fact, Embiid has not only played well in his last 4 games, he has performed well in the last 18 games and throughout the season. In the past 18 games, he has averaged 34.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, and Philadelphia has a record of 13 wins and 5 losses. In these 18 games, Embiid's shooting percentage reached 54.6%.
So far this season, Embiid has averaged 29 points, 10.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, a career-high score, as well as assists.
Although the Philadelphia team has constantly spread rumors of trades, and the former giant combination is basically only Embiid alone, it has to be said that Embiid's ability is indeed outstanding. In this era of small ball, he still found his value, and in terms of performances this season, he is the well-deserved number one center.
After Embiid played such a performance, perhaps, this will also attract Harden's joining. According to previous sources, Harden is willing to try options other than the Nets this summer, and he believes that his cooperation with Embiid can be successful. Although the two of them may not necessarily succeed in actually joining forces, after all, the two of them may not be in tune with each other in terms of style of play and personality, but there is no denying that Embiid will indeed be very attractive to Harden now, at least on paper.
