The center is in the ascendant, Jokic and Embiid were elected the best players in the East and West in January!
【Double Star Shine】
I. Embiid (January performance)
Embiid averaged 34 points, 10.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, shooting 59% from the field and 40% from three-point range.
2, 76 people led by Embiid, this month to achieve a record of 12 wins and 3 losses.
The 3rd and 76ers have also moved up from fifth in the East to second in the East, and Embiid is now only one win away from the first Bulls in the East.
2. Jokic (January performance)
1. Jokic averaged 26.6 points, 13.3 rebounds and 9 assists per game, shooting 60% from the field and 36% from three-point range.
2. The Nuggets, led by Jokic, have a record of 11 wins and 5 losses this month.
3. Because Porter and Murray can't play due to injury, it is not easy for Jokic to keep the Nuggets record in the top six in the West.
【Anything is possible】
★ Because Simmons was reluctant to represent the 76ers for personal reasons this season, the 76ers fell out of the championship race this season, but Embiid's strong explosion in the second half of the season made the 76ers fans see the possibility of the team's championship again!
Embiid averaged 29.1 points, 10.8 rebounds and 4.4 assists this season, shooting 49.9 percent from the field and 36.6 percent from three-point range.
★ Although the 76ers now lack Simmons as a defensive guard in the backcourt, the performance of Maxi and Seth Curry this season has given people another hope of the 76ers winning the championship.
1. Maxie can average 16.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game this season, shooting 46.7% from the field and 40% from three-point range; although Maxie's performance in organization and defense is not as good as Simmons, his talent on the offensive end is not comparable to Simmons.
2. As Stephen Curry's younger brother, Seth Curry's performance outside the three-point line is no worse than his brother, he can average 15.5 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game this season, shooting 49.7% from the field and 40.3% from three-point range.
★The advantage of the 76ers is that in addition to the giant tower of Embiid, they also have two other "double high" interior lines, Harris and Drummond.
1. Harbeaux averaged 19 points, 7.4 rebounds and 4 assists per game this season, shooting 48% from the field and 34% from three-point range.
2. Drummond can average 6 points and 9 rebounds per game this season, shooting 54% from the field.
In summary, today's 76ers have Embiid, Zhuang Shen, Harris charging inside, and Maxi, Curry, and Green on the outside; even if Simmons is not there, the 76ers are still a strong contender for the championship this season.
★ Although the two cores of Porter and Murray could not play this season, the Nuggets still scored in double figures under Jokic.5
△ Jokic can average 26 points, 13.8 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game this season, shooting 57% from the field and 38% from three-point range.
1. Barton averaged 15 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season, shooting 38 percent from three-point range.
2. Gordon can average 14.5 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game this season, shooting 52% from the field.
3. Molisbane averaged 12.6 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game this season, shooting 47% from the field and 37% from three-point range.
4. Green has averaged 10.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per game this season, shooting 51 percent from the field.
It is worth mentioning that according to NBA reporter Zach Lowe, sources revealed that Nuggets player Jamal Murray and Michael Porter Jr. are likely to make a comeback this season.
【A little opinion】
The NBA has been confused this season, the two major championship favorite teams Lakers and Nets are now in trouble; the Lakers are afraid to say goodbye to the playoffs in advance due to injuries, player run-ins and many other problems this season; the Nets are not much better, Irving's wayward arrogance makes the Nets helpless; so the 76ers and Nuggets this season's trouble is nothing at all, which team won the championship this year will not be surprising, after all, the NBA has come to the Warring States era.
