Today, the 76ers' home game against the Wizards was a game of heart-pounding, and after a head-to-head game, the 76ers won 141-136 and are currently in the top spot in the East with a 7-1 loss, with Joel Embiid scoring 38 points.
However, the "Emperor" was not the highest scorer of the game, as Bradley Beal scored 60 points in the opposite side.
In this campaign, Beal was in full swing, playing 38 minutes, shooting 20 of 35 (including 7 of 10 three-pointers and 13 of 15 free throws), and grabbed 60 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. It was the second time this season that a player had a player score 60 points per game, the first being Stephen Curry, who scored 62 points in the Warriors' home win over the Trail Blazers on Jan. 4.
60 points was a new career single-game scoring record for Beal, while equalling the Wizards' all-time single-game scoring record held by Gilbert Arenas. So far this season, the 1.91-meter-tall quarterback, who has averaged 34.2 points per game, has surpassed Curry (32 points per game) and temporarily sat on the top of the scoring throne.
Admittedly, Beal's scoring ability is top-notch, and he can give and take in the game. Last season, the Wizards led the team, averaging 30.5 points per game and finishing second on the scoring list. In the game against the Bulls and Bucks at the end of February this year, Bill also scored 108 points back-to-back, which was simply amazing.
Unfortunately, in those two games, the Wizards lost, and today cut 60 points, still can't help the team win, which can't help but make Beal a veritable king of active air slashing.
In fact, in today's game, Beal has a chance to score higher points, because he only used three quarters to score 57 points. But in the fourth quarter, he felt cold under the 76ers defense, scoring only 3 points on 1-of-6 shooting, which led to the Wizards biting and not winning at the end.
And this is where Beal really needs to improve in the future, in the past three years, his personal score has risen continuously, he is one of the strongest scorers in the active duty, high-scoring games are endless, and he has been selected as an All-Star and signed a maximum salary contract. But how do you help your team win while scoring high scores? He has not found the answer to this question and has been leading the team through the mud. Want to help your team by scoring? Then he needs to improve his performance at key moments, instead of killing almost the entire game, but being an "invisible man" when the team needs to score points the most.
At the age of 27, this is the best year for a player, as the team façade, I hope that Beal will not fall deeper and deeper in the whirlpool of empty slashing, and evolve into a real leader as soon as possible. (Sycamore)
