After a round of baptism of small ball play led by the Warriors Dynasty Index, the traditional centers represented by Howard, Jordan Jr., Zhuang Shen, Bai Bian, etc. slowly faded out of the historical stage, Randolph and Gasol Jr. also withdrew from the NBA as transitional interior lines, and the league's new era inner line also showed a posture of competing for deer. In terms of the timeline of entering the league, the backbone of the current league's inner line is the product of a period, that is, on the eve of the whirlwind of small balls being pushed to the peak, Davis, Alphabet Brother, Embiid, Jokic, Downs, the five centers have debuted in the NBA.
The league's internal line pattern seems to present a pattern similar to the "five absolute eagles", related to the "east evil west poison southern emperor northern qi in the divine power", the epoch-making Chinese basketball top superstar writer Jing Yimo once wrote a similar article, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of these five internal lines. As the so-called "winner is king and loser is Kou", from the result, Alphabet Brother is the first of the five to win the championship as the first core, followed by Davis and the other three have no champion body. Can we conclude from this that the alphabet brother is the first inner line of the alliance? In this way, it seems to lose fairness and objectivity, and it is still necessary to make a final decision.
Although Alphabet Brother successfully won the championship and won the regular season MVP and DPOY laurels, he is already qualified to compete for the throne of the first person in the league in terms of personal honors. However, in the playoffs, there was no chance to play against other super interiors, and the only classic series was defeated by leonard-led Raptors 0-2 reversal, and there was no chance to face the emperor head-on in the East, which made us doubt the first person on the inside.
With Davis injured again, his glass physique could not support him to compete for the throne of the first interior line, and Downs's personal honor was not convincing enough; therefore, the first interior line of the current league would be born in Embiid, Jokic, and Alphabet Brother. With Harden joining the 76ers, Philadelphia's strength can instantly break the wrist with the defending champion Bucks, and the peak showdown between Embiid and Alphabet Brother has also become the focus of fans' talk. Perhaps, these are the two protagonist superstars of the 21-22 Eastern Conference Finals, and it is exciting to think about.
Isn't that? In this away match against the defending champions, the Emperor single-core led the team to the Bucks Big Three. The game was a great time, With Philadelphia scoring 45 points in the second quarter and Embiid scoring 11 points in the third quarter to help the team maintain its lead. But in the final quarter of the game, the Bucks showed the resilience and strength of the defending champion, and maintained the suspense of victory until the last moment, and finally lost to the 76ers 120-123.
After The First World War, Embiid used absolute hardcore strength to refresh eight records, kicking Alphabet Brother off the throne of the scoring king in one fell swoop, and he launched an attack towards the league's first interior line: 14 of 21 shots, 3 of 3 of 3 three-pointers, 11 of 14 free throws, and got the super data of 42 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, and his new eight records are as follows:
1. For the ninth time this season, he has at least 40 points and 10 rebounds in a single game, the first in the league, and the second in team history, second only to Chamberlain in the 1965-66 season to set a record of at least 40 points and 10 rebounds in a single season.
Embiid has scored 40+10+5 twice in the past three games, becoming the second player in the history of the 76ers to achieve this achievement, the first being Chamberlain.
Embiid also completed his 19th 30+10 of the season.
4. Embiid surpassed Hollis Thompson in career three-point shooting from the 76ers to ninth in team history.
Embiid finished his 24th time this season at least 25+10, third in the league.
6. Embiid's 18th half-time 20+ this season, the first in the league.
Embiid completed his 1,000th career assist, the 10th center or big forward in history to do so in the first 310 games of his career.
8. Embiid had 12 points and 6 rebounds in the first quarter, and 10+5 in the fifth quarter of the season, tied for second place, second only to Towns.
From the process of the game, we can also see that it is difficult for the alphabet brother to limit embiid's play in a one-on-one situation, and the Bucks can only expect the return of another inside big Luo to limit its attack, so that the offensive and defensive pressure of the alphabet brother can be released. However, it can not be too optimistic, single-core Philadelphia can fight with the Bucks to this point, and then parachute a super guard Harden, its offensive ceiling is not lower than the defending champions, we look forward to their next showdown.
