On December 9, 2023, Beijing time, the 76ers defeated the Hawks 125-114 at home, winning two consecutive wins while helping the team to rank among the top four in the East and narrow the gap with the Celtics at the top of the East！The team's management is more worried about Embiid's knee, and the ** team and the medical team are also actively communicating, and at present, the specific situation is still to be evaluated.
So far this season, Embiid has shown super strength as an MVP, playing 18 games for Philadelphia, averaging 33 per game3 points 115 rebounds and 64 assists 19 blocks, helping the team win a 14-7 record, but Nas's sudden voice did not make the fans' hearts tighten, Embiid's main injury so far in his career is concentrated in the knee, although his basketball style of play is biased towards the traditional center, but the larger size and high-intensity physical confrontation will inevitably induce injuries, if the coaching staff protects him, Embiid may enter a long period of recuperation, and focus more on next year's playoffs.
According to the NBA official website released the latest MVP list of this season's regular season, 76ers center Joel Embiid rose to first, Nuggets center Nikola Jokic and Thunder guard Shay Gilgeous-Alexander ranked second and third respectively, and finally beat Jokic to successfully get on the top but suffered a bad news in the knee, and the good country may have to be handed over, once Embiid is injured, then this season's MVP will be in suspense. From the perspective of the Philadelphia 76ers, they are committed to competing for a championship this season and do not want to waste Embiid's only prime again, and he is also proving the value of MVP with his own efforts. According to the latest collective bargaining agreement, one of the criteria for selecting MVP is to play at least 68 games in the regular season, and in Embiid's current situation, he can still play up to 12 games.
Although the team's future schedule will be a wave of welfare, with 7 consecutive opponents with a win rate of less than 50%, they still can't take it lightly, after all, the overall strength of the 76ers is not enough to compete for dominance in the East, and it is even a little overestimated by the outside world. Philadelphia's ball-handling big man on the perimeter is none other than Maxi, who has successfully become a playmaker after Harden's departure, averaging 6Seven assists is also the biggest compliment to himself, in addition to that, an average of 27 per gameThe one-point score also ensures the team's firepower output, but he has successfully proven himself on the playoff stage as a role player, but if he wants to play as a core player, the regular season package tactics have successfully made him timid, which is simply embarrassing, and the team has a long way to go.
According to NBA statistics, Oubre ushered in two consecutive wins after his return, and Oubre has a 9-1 record in games for the 76ers this season, properly blessed with one, but averaged 15 per game7 points 43 rebounds 07 assists but not recognized by other teams, whether offensive or defensive, he has huge drawbacks, and why should he be reduced to the point where no one cares, at present, it is just just the right performance that far exceeds his own value, if in the playoffs, in the championship game, I am afraid it is a little difficult to rely on Oubre with all his strength, and Embiid's containment is also needed to play dominant.
