On April 5, 2022, Beijing time, the Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Indiana Pacers 131-122.
In this game, Joel Embiid was full of firepower, scoring 45 points and 13 rebounds on 18 of 30 shots. After this game, he averaged 30.4 points per game, surpassing James (30.2), and temporarily ranked first.
Since James has only attended 56 games this season, he still needs to attend at least 2 of the remaining 3 games and average more points than Embiid to have a chance to be the scoring champion; and in the other Bucks game , Antetokounmpo has only scored 18 points so far, and has lost a certain initiative in the competition for the scoring title. Therefore, according to the current situation, Embiid has a high probability of winning his first regular season scoring title.
It is worth mentioning that if Embiid becomes the scoring champion, it will be of great significance. Not only is he the first foreign scoring champion in NBA history, but also the first center scoring champion after O’Neal.
Embiid is averaging 30.4 points, 11.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game this season.
