Recently, Philadelphia 76ers Joel Embiid lost the Eastern Conference semifinals, and was sprayed by netizens and fans. Subsequently, netizens turned out the views of NBA celebrity "Big Dream" Olajuwon on Embiid's play in January, which caused heated discussions. Olajuwon said he couldn't understand why Embiid kept shooting threes, and Embiid could use his size to play every night. If it's Olajuwon in the past, the defenders can be exhausted, but three points is a way to wait for the work. Olajuwon believes that Embiid will not use his technical moves, and if he wants to win, he cannot use such a comfortable style of play.
And Olajuwon was met with Morant's ross-like response, and Embiid not only did not accept the suggestion, but also mocked Olajuwon for not having ball intelligence. Echoing Olajuwon's suggestion, Embiid said: "The first thing Rivers told me when he came to the team was that I needed to figure out where I wanted the ball to be. Obviously, in the past, (big men should catch the ball in a low position). But as I've said before, playing low, especially the whole game, is easy to get caught in. These old guys are always talking about low positions and saying you have to stay in the paint all the time, which is really funny. You can't win that way anymore. Now it's different from the TMDs '80s, '90s. They don't have any basketball IQ. Embiid has always stressed that Rivers made him find a comfortable position to catch the ball, figure out where he could easily catch the ball.
This is more embarrassing, maybe Rivers is talking about the inside receiving position. If Rivers really lets a center catch the ball from the outside, then it's understandable why he is often reversed. Embiid is even confident that wherever he is, he can be a better playmaker, a better scorer. If these words were said by Jokic, everyone would approve of it, but from Embiid's mouth, it always felt strange. Combine Embiid's style of play and behavior in the Philadelphia 76ers' loss to the Eastern Conference semifinals, combined with his perceived organization and receiving position. In the future, Embiid will be on par with Jokic, Emby also said that he will practice ball control in the summer, Eun point guard is on the line, so Harden is going to play center?
