In this campaign, Philadelphia star Embiid, although the shooting rate of 8 of 25 is not high, he still played an MVP-level performance, sending 25 points, 19 boards, 4 assists, 1 break and 5 caps to attack and defend. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that the Emperor has sent five blocks in a single game this season, counting today's game, Embiid has scored at least 25 points in 22 consecutive games, the longest in the league this season, and in the history of the 76ers, only after Iverson's 27 consecutive games.
According to the statistics of the US media statmuse, Embiid also compared Barkley and Moses Malone, becoming the third player in the history of the 76ers to send at least 25 points, 15 boards and 5 blocks multiple times.
So far this season, Embiid has averaged 29.3 points, 11.1 boards, 4.3 assists and 1.5 caps per game, and if he can continue this performance until the end of the regular season, there is a lot of hope of winning the first MVP of his career.
Although Harden has previously cooperated with Howard, but the dominance of Howard on the inside has long been less than the Magic period, whether from the perspective of offense, strategy or defense, today's Embiid can be said to be stronger than Howard in the Rockets period, Harden ushered in the strongest inner partner of his personal career, and the outside world is also very much looking forward to what kind of spark this new super duo can rub, let us wait and see.
