The French duo finally broke out in G3, and they combined for 54 points to chase the big score to 1-2, yes, Batum only scored 4 points. The emperor is finally tough this time, and this time it can really be compared to Jordan!
According to statistics, Embiid is the first center in NBA history to score at least 50 points and shoot 5+ three-pointers in a single game in the playoffs, the first player to score 50+ in fewer than 20 shots in the playoffs, and the first player to score 45+ against the Knicks after Jordan in 1996.
How did the Emperor do it after scoring 50 points on 19 shots? Embiid made 19 of 21 free throws in this game, while the Knicks only made 19 free throws as a team. It is worth mentioning that Embiid suddenly exploded in the third quarter, scoring 18 points on 4-of-4 three-point shooting, which laid a solid foundation for the final victory of the game.
Maybe we all misunderstood, the Emperor is just a defender a few sizes older, he is not a center, if you look at it this way, will you understand and tolerate him?
Obviously, Embiid is crucial for the 76ers, but in any case, he can only be given a 9 today, because 1 point will be deducted from that brainless puller!
It was revealed that Embiid was being treated for mild Bell's palsy, and he once wanted to keep it secret in order not to interfere with the team's preparations, but he was helplessly exposed by sharp-eyed fans.
