In today's game, the 76ers beat the Bucks 123-120, and Embiid also beat Alphabet Brother (this is the first time they have met this season), and this may also bring him one step closer to the MVP.
Embiid shot 14-of-21 from the field, including 3-of-4 from three-point range and 11-of-14 from the free throw line, and scored 42 points, 14 rebounds and five assists; Alphabet Brother shot 13-of-23, including 2-of-4 from three-point range and 4-of-5 from the free throw line, with 32 points, 11 rebounds, nine assists and three steals. Eventually, Embiid laughed to the end.
After the game, when it comes to the duel with Brother Alphabet, Embiid said that Brother Alphabet is a double MVP, an excellent player, and he enjoys the duel with Brother Alphabet.
Embiid's showdown with Alphabet Brother may also have a slight impact on this season's regular season MVP. In today's ESPN MVP mock poll, Embiid, who was tied for only 12th in the previous issue, quickly climbed to No. 1, receiving 45 of the 100 first votes. Jokic is 2nd, while Alphabet Brother is still 3rd.
Today Barkley also said when talking about the MVP attribution this season that Embiid has always been the best player this season and should be at the top of the MVP list. DeRozan should be in second place with this season's performance, and alphabet brother is also worth mentioning, ranking third.
Of course, if you talk about the team's results alone, the 76ers (35-23) and Bucks (36-24) are now ranked 3rd and 5th in the league, respectively, which is not particularly convincing. However, the 76ers achieved such a result in the absence of Ben Simmons, Embiid's performance is particularly outstanding, which also adds a lot of points to him; the Bucks are also affected by injuries and epidemics this season, and the personal performance of Alphabet Brother is still very strong.
Through today's game, will Embiid throw the alphabet brother away in the MVP scramble? (Supine Braces/Hairy)
