Recently,The Philadelphia 76ers lost 104-108 against the Chicago Bulls. In the game, Embiid didn't have a great performance in the final quarter, shooting only 1-of-5 from the field with a disappointing percentage. The result left his teammates and fans a little disappointed with his performance.
However, Philadelphia reporter Drew Helen wasn't surprised by Embiid's performance. He believes Embiid can't be blamed for a poor game. Prior to that, Embiid averaged 30 stats per game in four consecutive games, which was an excellent performance. His shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage are also maintained at a fairly high level. Therefore, the sluggish performance of the last quarter is just an example and should not affect his evaluation.
Prior to this game, Embiid had scored 30 points in 12 consecutive games, setting multiple records. First of all, this record of 12 consecutive 30 games is not only a new personal high, but also one of the best performances in Philadelphia's history. Secondly, he also became the successor in 1982MosesMarlonAfter that, he became the first to score 30 points in 12 consecutive gamesCenter。In addition, Embiid has scored 40 points four times this month, leading the league. This is not only a new high in his career, but also a dazzling performance.
Embiid's dominance isn't just about scoring, he's also showing extraordinary ability in rebounds, assists, and blocks. In this game, he contributed 40 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 blocks, proving that he is the core and leader of the team.
Although Embiid had an excellent performance of 40 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists in this game, his performance of only 1-of-5 in the final quarter undoubtedly became one of the reasons for the team's loss. So why did Embiid's performance slip in the final quarter?
On the one hand, the Bulls played a tighter defense against Embiid in the final quarter, causing him a lot of trouble. They used a two-man package and a tight defense to limit Embiid's chances. On the other hand, Embiid's own performance in the final quarter was also lacking. Perhaps due to physical fatigue or psychological pressure, his shooting percentage at critical moments has declined, and his execution has also been lacking.
In addition to his on-court performances, Embiid has an admirable backstory. As a young player in Cameroon, he faced a lot of difficulties and challenges.
