On April 23, Beijing time, according to NBA celebrity Shams, the team is worried about Embiid's right thumb ligament tearing, and he will undergo an MRI examination. However, Embiid himself said that no matter what the test results are, he will insist on playing in G4 with injuries. They currently lead the Raptors 3-0 and G4 will be played at the Raptors' home stadium.
How did Embiid get hurt? He didn't know it himself. After G3, Embiid said: "I don't know what happened either, but I started to feel pain after the game and I think I probably twisted it a bit. "In today's training, his right wrist has been wrapped in a bandage. In the long run, a break might be a better option.
But Embiid insisted on fighting with injuries, also to win the Raptors as soon as possible 4-0, and then wait for a few days to rest and wait for the heat and eagles to win. Embiid is too important for the team, and in the three games of the series he has 19+15+4, 31+11, 33+13+2, averaging 27.7 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists per game.
Series G3, Embiid scored 18 points in the third quarter, scoring 5 of the team's 9 points in overtime! In the last 0.8 seconds, he also completed a three-point shootout, personally ending the series. Wait, isn't it 0-4 to be eliminated? That's right! But there have been 143 0-3 drops in NBA history, and no team has been able to turn the tables!
Before the playoffs began, O'Neal predicted that the Raptors would be swept. When Embiid scored the dead, O'Neal said, "For me, dominance is 28 points+ 15 rebounds, and of course, by the playoffs, it's another 5 points!" Embiid is the MVP in my heart, and Jokic is good, but no one can play like Embiid. ”
In addition, Arenas, Durant, Perkins and the magician all support Embiid! Durant said: "This season's regular season MVP, I chose Embiid! Perkins said: "After watching Embiid kill the Raptors, I am very happy to make the right choice, I voted for MVP to Embiid, he is the MVP!" ”
Embiid played in 68 regular season games, averaging 30.6 points, 11.7 boards, 4.2 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.5 blocks, shooting 49.9%, shooting 37.1% from three-point range and shooting 81% from the free throw line; Jokic played in 74 regular season games, averaging 27.1 points, 13.8 boards, 7.9 assisting 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocks, shooting 58.3%, shooting 33.7% from three-point range and shooting 81% from the free throw line.
Born in Cameroon on 16 March 1994, Embiid began his interests in football and volleyball until he was discovered at the age of 16 when he attended Bamot's training camp. That's right, Embiid only received formal basketball training at the age of 16 and became the NBA's tandem at the age of 20. He also became the first NBA first-round pick in Cameroon's history!
In the first three seasons of his career, Embiid only played 31 games, and many people thought he would become a parallel cargo. No one would have thought that this man, who only started playing at the age of 16, was seriously injured many times in the middle, and became the biggest hit of MVP at the age of 28! If you only look at the performance of the regular season, who will you choose as the MVP?
