Preface

There are too many teams in the league that have surprised fans this season, such as the Thunder, who are first in the West, and they could only finish 10th in the West at the end of the regular season last year, and finally fell to the playoffs. But after an offseason, the Thunder became the top team in the league, and they ranked 3rd in the league in offensive efficiency and 4th in defensive efficiency in the regular season.

There is also the Knicks in the East, who have also become a "dark horse" this season, and they are still improving compared to last year when the team's second-leader Randle is out for the season and starting center Robinson has only played 31 games. At the end of the regular season, the Knicks ranked second in the East with a record of 50-32, although there were core injuries at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, but after 82 games, the Knicks could still rank in the top ten in the league in both offense and defense, and it is worth mentioning that although the Knicks have 3 players in the starting lineup who are less than 1.95 meters, their offensive rebounds can still rank first in the league.

However, the unfortunate thing for the Knicks is that they have to face the Philadelphia 76ers in the first round of the playoffs due to rankings. The latter was also plagued by injuries in the regular season, and considering that they injured the big man Embiid, it is clear that the 76ers are a little worse. It can also be seen from the team's record that Embiid was the MVP favorite before the injury, and the 76ers could also be in the top four in the East, but after the injury, their ranking fell all the way to the play-off zone, but Embiid caught the last train of the regular season and helped the team reach the playoffs in the end.

And this group of matchups is also predicted to be the most intense group in the East before the start of the playoffs, the advantage of the Knicks is that Brunson has played in the top ten in the league this season, and Hart, Anunoby, DiVincenzo and others are also offensive and defensive players, they have no obvious shortcomings on the court, the only shortcoming may be the lack of a second core ball point on the offense, but in the face of the 76ers, their interior reserves are still enough, whether it is Robinson or Harden, these two can at least match Embiid in terms of size.

On the 76ers' side, Maxey's progress this year is also very obvious, he is close to the All-Star level in both scoring and tandem, as well as experienced veterans such as Batum and Lowry, who will also play an important role in the playoffs. However, the 76ers' biggest reliance must be Embiid, who averaged 34.7 points, 11 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.7 blocks per game this season, and he is still improving compared to the past.

Although Embiid has not had too many highlight moments in the past playoff resume, even because of his style of play and some cross-game games, some fans think that he is the most "soft" star in the current team, plus he still has injuries, so some people are not optimistic that he can prove himself again in this year's playoffs.

After the start of the playoffs, the 76ers lost two games in a row, and Embiid's performance once again caused dissatisfaction among many fans, G1 he got 29 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers on 8-of-22 shooting, and G2 he got 34 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 turnovers on 12-of-29 shooting. On the other hand, Maxey, the team's second leader, performed much better, with 33 points and 4 assists on 14-of-26 shooting in G1, and 35 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists on 12-of-22 shooting in G2.

When it comes to G3, the 76ers who return to their home court must fight to the death, and if they lose again, 0-3 can basically declare the end of the series. And this time Embiid finally broke the demons, in this crucial game, he played absolute dominance, played 41 minutes, 13 of 19 shooting, 5 of 7 three-pointers, 19 of 21 free throws, a playoff career high of 50 points, in addition to 8 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, under his outburst the 76ers finally won the first win of the series.

50 points in a single game in the playoffs is also the highest score in the history of the 76ers since Iverson, obviously through this game Embiid has proven that he is capable of breaking up opponents in the playoffs, and this is still his visible injury on the court, as can be seen from his rebounds, his bounce and bounce speed are not as good as before. But even so, Embiid is still the best player in this series, and whether the 76ers can win depends on him, not to mention an average of 50+ per game, at least 35+ efficient.

And it looks like this year is really a good opportunity for Embiid, if they can advance to the second round, they will face the winner of the Pacers and the Bucks, the former is too young, and Haliburton is clearly not comfortable with the rhythm of the playoffs, and the Bucks, the time for the return of Antetokounmpo is still far away. So no matter who they face, the 76ers have a good chance of going straight to the Eastern Conference Finals, and the team they are most likely to face at that time is the Celtics.

Facing the Celtics last year, Embiid shot 5 of 18 in the tiebreaker, and in the end it can be said that he was blown up by Tatum in the face. Embiid and the 76ers have a chance to get revenge this year, and then it depends on whether they can grasp it, although the Green Army has become much stronger this year, but the 76ers' roster has also improved compared to last year, as long as Embiid maintains the MVP level of play, then everything is possible. So the opportunity is here, and it's up to Embiid to be ashamed.
