On March 11, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, in the Philadelphia home game against the Nets, the two sides from the beginning of the first quarter began a very fierce competition, Embiid in the first quarter of the game completed a big outbreak, he single-handedly broke the Nets' internal line!
In the first quarter, Embiid played 11 minutes and 27 seconds, shooting 3 of 8 from the field and 10 of 13 from the free throw line, with 16 points and 4 rebounds. He scored 13 free throws in the first quarter, which is indeed very rare, constantly killing the Nets' interior line, leaving Embiid in the inside line like no one!
While the Nets are behind, Embiid's kill could have an effect in the second half of the game, with Drummond and Bruce Brown already fouling three times in the first quarter, and they were both Nets starters, and in addition to these two, Irving and Durant also had one foul!
Foul trouble could have an effect in the third and fourth quarters, and once Drummond couldn't play because of foul problems, the Nets wouldn't have anyone to be able to limit Embiid on the inside. At that point, Embiid will be even more like no man's land, and Philadelphia should be able to find some way to reverse it!
Harden's form in the first quarter was not particularly good, and he needed to get back in shape as soon as possible, otherwise it would be too difficult for Embiid alone to beat the nets! After all, in the first quarter, Durant shot 5 of 6, Irving shot 4 of 5, Curry Jr. shot 4 of 6, and the Nets felt so good!
