Beijing time on October 1, news from the US media reported that today the 76ers star Joel Embiid once again talked about Ben Simmons, and he reiterated his hope that Simmons can return to the team.
According to previous rumors, Simmons believes that the 76ers’ team system with Embiid as the core team is not suitable for his own style of play. The source said this was one of the reasons Simmons wanted to leave Philadelphia.
“I think everything our team does is built around Simmons’ needs, so I was a little surprised when I saw the above rumors,” Embiid said. “I mean, when you look back, we The reason for signing Al Horford and releasing Jimmy Butler is for Simmons, to make sure the ball is in his hands.”
The current situation is that Simmons is absent from the media day and training camp. He has made preparations not to play for a whole season.
“As I said on the media day, I am disappointed with this. I just think the way we have built our team for many years… We have always had three-point shooters. I think I can play against any player and I can make them change. Better,” Embiid said.
“But the current situation feels weird and disappointing, and it is also a kind of disrespect for people who want to play hard on the team,” Embiid continued. “Some players need to rely on the team to achieve excellent records. Prove that you have the ability to stay in this league and play to make money.”
“With Simmons, we will be the better team. We still hope that he will change his mind. Of course, these are things that the team management needs to deal with. I am not the owner and general manager of the team. To be honest, this is not the case. It’s not my job.”
In the regular season last season, Embiid averaged 31.1 minutes per game, surrendering 28.5 points, 10.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists.Return to Sohu to see more
