The NBA regular season continues with the 76ers hosting the Pistons. This is the third meeting between the two teams this season, with the 76ers winning the first two meetings. Previously, the 76ers were ranked fourth in the East with 16 wins and 7 losses, and the data shows that in the past 10 games, the 76ers have ranked second in the league in offensive efficiency, eighth in the league in defensive efficiency, and first in the league in net efficiency!And Embiid also averaged 338 points 115 rebounds and 6The data of 4 assists has led the MVP list for two consecutive weeks, but like Brother Alphabet, Embiid's data has also been questioned as not having enough gold, such as the Wizards at the bottom of the defensive level, with an average output of 44 points per game in three games, such as consecutive absences against teams such as the Pelicans, Timberwolves, and Celtics.
In fact, as long as the 76ers maintain the top four positions in the division, coupled with Embiid's gorgeous statistics, the suspense of his defending scoring title and MVP is not big, but what can really improve Embiid's star weight is the playoff ceiling. The opponent Pistons, lost to the Heat by 1 point in the opening game, and then defeated the Hornets and Bulls in a row, followed by a wave of 21 consecutive defeats!In terms of team talent, the Pistons are no worse than the Magic, who is third in the East, they are all champions, and the entire lineup is also composed of young people with high picks, but the offense and defense + steals are at the bottom level of the league, and they basically fight separately. Pistons starters: Cunningham + Hayes + Osar Thompson + Bogdanovic + Stewart;76ers starters: Maxey + Melton + Batum + Harris + Embiid.
At the beginning of the game, Embiid turned around and made a jumper, Maxey hit a three-pointer against the champion Cunningham, Bogda trained Embiid to score a 3-pointer, and Maxey and Harris attacked the Pistons for three consecutive rounds. However, during this period, Embiid's continuous dribbling was broken and destroyed, which is really a pure guard play. In the middle of the period, Harris used jumpers and air-cut dunks to stretch the margin to double digits, and the Pistons relied on Bogda's inside and outside shots to bite the score. Embiid made a kill, and Stewart really couldn't stop it, but Wiseman made consecutive rebounds in the second half to stop the 76ers. Embiid missed the shot, but Wiseman also actively made kills at the end of the quarter, and the 76ers led the Pistons 26-22 at the end of the first quarter. Playing the Pistons, the 76ers have a high margin for error, and as Embiid continues to make kills, the opponent can't stand it.
Back in the second quarter, Oubre dunked former teammate Wiseman, Morris Jr. converted a three-pointer, Burks singled to help the Pistons respond, Maxey made a kill + Morris Jr. three-pointer, and stopped the Pistons again. Oubre and Morris Jr. continued to rain three-pointers in the middle of the period, Bogda continued to make strong attacks to make kills, and Embiid came back and started making free throws. The Pistons fought separately on the offensive end and made too many turnovers, but the 76ers' offensive efficiency in the second half was still efficient: Embiid made consecutive fouls to get free throws + Harris hit an open three-pointer, and at halftime, the 76ers led the Pistons 61-39. Embiid had 20 points and seven rebounds, and Maxey had 11 points. Pistons Bogdanovic had 12 points and No. 1 Cunningham had just two points.
At the beginning of the second half, Cunningham scored a jumper, Batum cut in the air, Maxey made an easy layup, Embiid continued to make fouls, and Embiid also rewarded himself with a three-pointer, and the difference was close to 30 points at one point!Bogdanovic stopped the bleeding with three points, Wiseman ate cakes in a row, Embiid snatched the rebound from teammate Batum, and then dribbled himself to make a kill, absolutely not!Batum made a basket + Harris jumper, the difference officially exceeded 30 points, Embiid was still working hard to actively make fouls under the basket, the Pistons had been replaced by substitutes in advance, and Embiid hit another three-pointer at the end of the quarter!At the end of the third quarter, the 76ers led the Pistons 94-62, and Embiid scored 35 points and 13 rebounds in the third quarter, making 15 of 16 free throws.
The fourth quarter went straight into garbage time, Embiid did not score points, which is good, and finally the 76ers beat the Pistons 124-92 at home, and the 76ers ushered in a five-game winning streak, catching up with the Bucks and rising to second place in the East. And the Pistons suffered a 22-game losing streak!Pistons statistics, Cunningham 4 points and 3 rebounds, Bogdanovic 17 points and 3 rebounds, Wiseman 20 points and 13 rebounds, Ivey 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Suser 11 points and 4 assists. The Pistons swallowed a 22-game losing streak!
76ers statistics, Embiid 35 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks, Maxey 19 points and 4 assists, Morris Jr. 15 points, Oubre 11 points, Harris 13 points, 7 rebounds and 3 steals. Statistics show that Embiid scored 675 points and 200 rebounds in the first 20 games of the season, which is the first NBA player to achieve this statistic since Chamberlain in the 64-65 season!In addition, Embiid has scored 30+10 in 9 consecutive games, surpassing Chamberlain and becoming the first in 76ers history!Embiid's style of play is perfectly suited to the competition for various honors, but again, if he can't dominate in the playoffs, then he can only be a regular season star.
