Yesterday I said that Curry is the person who should and most want to take the MVP in the All-Star Game, so who wants to take it second? It was Embiid, who had 36 points and 10 rebounds yesterday.
Yesterday's first three festivals of the All-Star, or according to the custom, everyone held a big party. Curry threw in 15 three-pointers in three quarters; Morant's two-time dunk contest 50-point performance, as well as Embiid's dunk show and three-point show.
More than a decade ago, the center shot three-point shot or the all-Star Game show, O'Neal and Yao Ming did this. Now that center-forward three-point shooting has become a conventional weapon, Towns has even become the three-point king, and Embiid yesterday was 5 of 8 from 3-pointers.
By the time the two sides started to work hard in the fourth quarter, LeBron's lineup was James, Curry, DeRozan, Alphabet Brother and Allen. On Durant's side, there are four small lineups of Lavin, Trae Young, three goals, Booker and Embiid.
Yesterday, a fan backstage asked Durant why he sent a four-guard lineup, in fact, Coach Spoo thought very clearly, that is, to maximize Embiid's domination under the basket.
Embiid's advantage over Allen was revealed, leBron had to wrap embiid, and Embiid had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist throughout the fourth quarter, including a very exciting 2+1.
In my mind, Embiid must have slashed over the All-Star Game for the second consecutive year. Last year's All-Star Game Embiid was also alone in the fourth quarter, and in the end, as long as Embiid alone could respond.
In the last leg of yesterday, Embiid saw James asking for the ball on his back, as long as he had to choose a back-up jumper, so Embiid went to help defend, but was eventually shot by James.
This scene is not familiar, the 2019 Eastern Conference semifinals to grab seven, Embiid is also chasing Leonard, and then the latter is thrown into the only whistle in NBA history to grab the seven.
Embiid shed tears in the players' tunnel that day, and has been ridiculed until today. But for Embiid, this setback was nothing in his career.
Embiid said after yesterday's game: "If you look back at my first year of surgery. At that time, I also lost my brother and returned to Cameroon, and I really wanted to stop playing basketball and retire.
At that time, just after the operation, everyone was saying you can't do it. The following year, he underwent surgery again and was absent for two consecutive years. There are all kinds of reports every day, and the media is belittling you. It was hard then, and I went through a lot. ”
In the first three years of his career, Embiid played a total of 33 games, and was criticized and questioned more than the fat tigers are now. Everyone thought the 76ers had picked another parallel cargo, but now the 76ers were waiting to reap the rewards.
At present, Embiid's three statistics are 29.6 + 11.2 + 4.5, and the average score per game ranks first in the league. If you can't get an All-Star Game MVP, let's fight for a regular season MVP.
