On December 31, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to play. The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Brooklyn Nets 110-102, ushering in a three-game winning streak. Embiid scored 34 points and 7 rebounds in this campaign, of which 16 points were scored in the first quarter, and 6 points were scored in the last quarter to help the 76ers secure the victory. And at the end of the game, he and Durant exchanged trash talk.
Embiid has a strong sense of presence in the last two games. Challenged to the Wizards and Raptors away game, he contributed 36 points and 13 rebounds and 36 points and 11 rebounds in a row. Even more frightening is that “The Great”‘s shooting percentage remained above 68%.
An away challenge to the Brooklyn Nets, this is the 76ers’ third consecutive away game. However, after the opening, Embiid did not look tired because of the continuous journey. He absolutely asked for what he wanted on the court and continued to play the role of “cash machine”.
After hitting a 3-pointer in the opening game, Embiid made consecutive inside kills. In order to limit the “big”, the Nets have tried Aldridge, Griffin, Durant and Clarkston to take turns to defend. Unfortunately, the Nets for Embiid did not seem to have any effect.
In the middle of the first quarter, Embiid first faced Bembri and scored 2+1, then he challenged Durant and successfully completed the three-pointer again. He made 6 of 9 shots in a single quarter and scored 16 points. The highlight data of “The Great” also dimmed Durant’s star around him.
It seems to be influenced by Embiid, and Drummond is also very effective as a substitute. “Zhuang Shen” also contributed 6 points and 2 rebounds in 2 minutes.
Compared to the first quarter, Embiid’s play in the second quarter is more of a way of preserving physical fitness. But even so, Embiid can still “explore things” as easily as possible. Once the top of the arc continuously changed direction and swayed, “The Great” retreated and hit a board three-pointer. At the end of the two quarters, Embiid made 8 of 16 shots in 16 minutes, contributing 22 points and 3 rebounds.
After the intermission, the Nets giants began to “group” to attack Embiid, even though “The Great” singled Adler 2+1 on the offensive end and gave Harden a big hat on the defensive end. But the unavoidable reality is that the “Great Emperor” who led the team alone is obviously tired. In the first 9 minutes of the third quarter, Embiid made only 1 of 3 shots. Durant scored 8 points and helped the Nets establish a 7-point lead.
To make matters worse, Embiid later grabbed a spot inside. When fighting Griffin, he accidentally sprained his left ankle and lay on the ground in pain. Fortunately, after adjusting, Embiid signaled that his left ankle was fine. However, after performing two free throws, “The Great” was replaced.
With the last 6 minutes left, Embiid reappeared. Prior to this, the team’s substitute has achieved a go-ahead. After his debut, “The Great” first made two free throws for fouls, and then backed Adelaide 2+1, helping the 76ers lead by 4 points. With 15.3 seconds left, Embiid grabbed an offensive rebound, and then he scored 2+1 again to help the 76ers seal the victory. However, when Embiid made a free throw, he and Durant exchanged trash talk, which almost caused a conflict on the court.
