After the Philadelphia 76ers sent Harden away in the middle of this season, they played a very good performance under the leadership of Embiid and Maxey, but in the four games that the Great has missed recently, the 76ers only achieved a 2-2 record, and the last game was lost to the underperforming Bulls on the road, after two days of rest, the two sides moved to Philadelphia to meet again, and the 76ers, who wanted revenge to stop the decline, welcomed back Embiid, facing the former league rebounding king Drummond, Embiid directly exploded the opponent with full firepower, and also single-handedly revitalized the whole team, under the leadership of the Great, the 76ers beat the Bulls by 25 points in the first quarter, which also made the game lose suspense early, and finally successfully took revenge 110-97!
Embiid's comeback is at the peak, and he is the rebounding king
In the last meeting, the unfavored Bulls were able to win in an upset, and the NBA's four-time rebounding king Drummond contributed a lot, in the 30 minutes he played, he cut 15 points, 23 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks in 6 of 8 comprehensive personal data, which also has a lot to do with Embiid's absence.
Although Drummond still handed over a double-double of 11 points and 17 rebounds in this game, his offensive threat and defensive deterrence were greatly reduced, and his shooting rate was not high, only 5 of 13 performances, and Embiid came back to the peak, directly beating Drummond one-on-one, only played 31 minutes, hit 10 of 20 shots, and easily played 31 + 15 + 10 + 2 blocks of comprehensive personal data, becoming the biggest contributor to the team's revenge.
The emperor revitalized the whole team, and 76 people fought 2 miracles
The 76ers were able to go from the last loss to this big win, Embiid can be said to be the biggest contributor, not only one person carried the team's interior, but also revitalized the team's offense with passing, under his combing, the 76ers had a total of 4 players who scored in double digits, of which the backcourt double gun Maxey and Oubre became the biggest beneficiaries, Embiid forced the basket to compress the Bulls' defense, creating a very large space for them to shoot easily, the two hit a total of 7 three-pointers, a total of 37 points.
The 76ers, who are playing at home, also broke two records in this game, they blasted a 43-18 shock wave in the first quarter of the game, and the 25-point net win in a single quarter is the largest net win in the first quarter of the season, and it is also the second-largest first-quarter point difference in the history of the 76ers, second only to the 28 points in the first quarter of 18 years over the Bucks.
After Harden left Los Angeles to join the Clippers, many fans thought that the 76ers had lost the strength to impact the championship, but this season under the tutelage of head coach Nas, their performance is still strong, as long as the core players remain healthy, the 76ers still have hope of winning the O'Brien Cup, but this requires Embiid to play the same dominance in the playoffs as in the regular season, once he is weak in the playoffs like last season, the 76ers will have no hope, whether Embiid can make a name for himself and lead the team to soar, let's wait and see！
