Furious, too furious, facing the Jazz team with many scoring points, Embiid seemed to be possessed by an ancient god beast, played a supergod battle, and led the 76ers to reverse and win.
The Jazz led the 76ers by 12 points at most, but Embiid today is too terrible, he scored 59 of the team's 105 points, shot 19 of 28, made 20 of 24 free throws, and exploded a career-high 59 points, 11 rebounds, 8 assists and 7 blocks of quasi-triple-doubles, playing the Jazz defenseless. Especially in the final quarter, the Jazz scored 20 points, the 76ers scored 27 points, Embiid alone shot 7 of 8 and 12 of 15 free throws on the free throw line cut 26 points and 5 blocks.
Embiid in this game turned over the river on the inside, no one can stop him, but his greater value is on the defensive end, facing the Jazz who are all soldiers, especially the Jazz with excellent height in the starting stage, Embiid's size advantage is vividly used, limiting the play of the opponent's interior group. Embiid's seven blocks on the defensive end greatly shocked the Jazz, especially in the final quarter, when the 76ers fought back wildly, the Jazz also tried to maintain the lead, and Embiid's protective frame played an important role, making the Jazz's offense useless and ultimately winning. After this game, Embiid also set a record record, he was the first player in NBA history to score 50 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks in a single game.
This is the Great, this is Embiid, and the reason why we have been criticizing him for playing softly is because he is one of the few super centers in the league at the moment, he has MVP strength, and with his size and technical advantages, he can play very well on the inside. But Embiid has always liked to float on the outside and often falls to the ground when fighting offense inside, without that tough resoluteness and without his deterrent on the defensive end. But today's Embiid allows us to see how terrifying an Embiid who is determined to attack the bottom of the basket is, how strong his lethality is under the basket, and such an Embiid is what we have always wanted to see.
Although the 76ers also entered the Eastern Conference playoffs with a 7-7 record after winning this game, climbing out of the quagmire at the beginning of the season, there is one most important problem for them that has not been solved. Embiid's super-godlike performance today, but don't forget that there is no Harden in this game today. So far this season, Harden and Embiid have not played well at the same time, and both have performed well when they lead the team alone, but once they are on the floor at the same time, whether it is team operation or individual performance, it is difficult to say that they are excellent. But the problem is that the 76ers can't rely on Embiid alone, they can't rely on Harden alone, and if the 76ers want to go further in the playoffs, they must play both Harden and Embiid at the same time, and they must play enough threat inside and out. But unfortunately, I haven't seen this so far, and the 76ers need to get the chemistry between Embiid and Harden to play coordination and tactics, which is the most important and urgent problem for the 76ers. If they want to make a difference in the playoffs, or go further, that's something that has to be solved, and it's the foundation.
Embiid's performance is a marvel at the super center's great lethality, and what he needs now is to maintain this performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and other problems need to be solved by the whole team.
