If you miss this game, you're missing out on one of the most exciting episodes of the season. After 21 consecutive defeats, the Pistons refreshed their embarrassing record, and Embiid, the "God of War" of the Philadelphia 76ers, became the biggest winner of this focus battle with 41 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists.
On December 14, Beijing time, the NBA regular season was in full swing, and the Detroit Pistons hosted the Philadelphia 76ers. Before the game, the Pistons finished bottom of the East with a 2-21 record, and faced the heavy burden of a 20-game losing streak, not only did they try to face it positively in their pregame press conference, but head coach Monty was full of confidence that the team was improving. However, fate did not favor the Pistons, and this game became an embarrassing record of their 21-game losing streak, which can't help but make people sigh.
At the beginning of the game, Bogdanovic took the lead in getting off to a flying start for the Detroit Pistons, but the Philadelphia 76ers quickly showed their offensive prowess. Embiid showed a strong attack inside, Melton hit a three-pointer from long range, and Harris scored easily on a layup. A coherent and fluid offensive run allowed the 76ers to quickly build the lead.
Although the Pistons fought back and Bogdanovic's individual performance was eye-catching, they were unable to hold the rebound in the face of Embiid's dominance, and the opponent repeatedly opened up the difference.
At the end of the first quarter, the 76ers led the Pistons by 13 points, 39-26. Entering the second quarter of the game, Oubre and Harris contributed points one after another, and the Pistons' defense was still difficult to effectively limit the opponent. At halftime, the 76ers led by 14 points, 70-56, and the Pistons continued to slump in the game.
At the beginning of the second half, Harris's long-range three-pointer once again detonated the 76ers' offensive boom, while the Pistons have been struggling to support. Cunningham was a great player on the inside, but the Pistons were plagued by turnovers and rebounding control issues as a whole, which became a stumbling block to victory. Entering the final quarter of the game, although Bogdanovic still fought back with all his might, the outcome of the game was no longer in doubt, and the 76ers finally won 129-111. The win not only showcased the strength of the 76ers overall, but also highlighted what the Pistons still need to improve against top teams.
In this game, Embiid once again showed his dominance on the court. He was like a raging lion, sweeping under the basket, and no one could stop him. In the first quarter of the game, he scored 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 steal, almost single-handedly suppressing the resistance of the Pistons. His inside attack and jump shot made the Pistons' interior defense almost a decoration.
Embiid's performance is so unpredictable that it's as if he's from another planet in basketball. In the game, he scored 41 points on 14-of-15 shooting, not only that, but also had 11 rebounds and five assists. His performance was not only a nightmare for his opponents, but also a carnival for the fans. Embiid's dominance is not only reflected in the stats, but also in the crucial moments of the game, he always stepped up to stabilize the team.
Pistons, have you ever wondered what it's like to win 21 games without a win?This season, they have become the most humiliating existence, with a 21-game losing streak setting a record for the longest losing streak in team history. Although head coach Monty tried to boost morale before the game, the Pistons looked helpless in the face of the 76ers' ferocious offense. The defeat in every game makes one worry about the future of this team.
Their efficiency on the offensive end is just 1076, ranked 4th from the bottom in the league, with a three-point shooting rate of only 34%, and the defense could not limit the opponent, which made them one of the most difficult teams this season.
Bogdanovic is the only member of the Pistons team who can play against the 76ers. In this game, he scored 33 points, 1 rebound, and 2 assists, showing his responsibility as the leader of the team. However, the power of going it alone has never been able to shake the strength of the 76ers as a whole. Cunningham also had 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists, but in the face of the overall disparity, it was clearly not enough to change the course of the game.
At one point in the game, the Pistons tried to limit Embiid in various ways, but they couldn't find an effective way. Embiid's individual ability is too strong under the basket, whether it is singles, catches, or rebounds and steals, the Pistons are helpless. As a result, the Pistons were beaten passively throughout the game and couldn't stop Embiid's crazy scoring.
Embiid's 7 consecutive 30+ performances are truly amazing. He is like no one on the field, and the opponent is unguardable. In this game, he not only scored 41 points, but also brushed up 11 rebounds and five assists. It's reminiscent of all-time superstars, and Embiid surpassed Chamberlain's record and was just one game away from the team's all-time scoring record. Such a performance makes one look forward to an even more brilliant basketball career in the future.
In the post-game interview, Embiid said that he wants to win everything, including a championship, MVP, scoring champion and a series of other honors. It's not just words, it's an ambitious star's vision for himself and his team's future. Embiid is currently averaging 33 per game4 points, 114 rebounds, 6With 4 assists, he is not only expected to compete for MVP, but also become one of the most eye-catching stars of the season.

The Pistons need to find a way to rebuild on a losing streak, and Embiid's future will be even more exciting.
