It's been a while since the 76s were eliminated, and people are celebrating the Nuggets' victory, shocked by Jokic's strong dominance and lamenting that he didn't win this year's Grand Slam, especially since he had the opportunity to win the MVP but eventually "ced" to Embiid.
Embiid is the league's best player who has not passed the second round for many years, in this year's MVP discussion, Jokic is low-key and Embiid is very high-profile, the two believe in competing for trophies is much different, in the voting and competition links, public opinion orientation will actually account for a certain proportion, Embiid's desire to reap results, he eventually won the trophy but also received a lot of cynicism, was named the MVP of the most crotch.
That's when his past coach Rivers stepped up, and he recently said on the podcast: "Embiid has no problem, he has different reasons in the past three years to not perform well in the playoffs, such as the first year of the playoffs, he is not very good compared to the regular season, it is because of the impact of his knee injury, the second year he suffered a torn ligament and could not continue to move forward... He's healthier this year, so you can see he got the MVP. ”
Rivers further explained why Embiid didn't play as well as he wanted in this year's playoffs: "Embiid is obsessed with making all the players play well, he has the ability to make the people around him great, he can do it, and he is consistent, so this year's team is so strong, both on and off the court, everyone likes him. ”
The implication is actually exactly what Embiid said after the game: Can my teammates perform better? (Forgot the original words)
Embiid can only get along when he sees his teammates playing well, and he can also be down when others are down, maybe he doesn't know that the team needs someone to step up in adversity, and some role players need to see him step up to play better, and the opposite is true.
So Embiid can only play downwind, and it is difficult for him to break out in the face of difficulties and lead the team forward.
Rivers also criticized Harden, who hated Harden's style, which undermined the team chemistry he created in Philadelphia, and the latter was also unstable.
Harden doesn't seem to like Rivers either, according to reports, he was involved in Rivers' dismissal, and now the 76ers' coaching position is still up in the air, and even the 76ers' roster next season is uncertain, no one knows whether Harden will go or stay, and what Embiid will decide next.
