Although the 76ers lost 121-136 in a fierce matchup with the Nets at home, this battle has become a major focus in the hearts of fans. Why? Because of the Emperor's absence, Maxi's performance on the court was not as expected. A game is not only a collision of numbers, but also a struggle against difficulties, a challenge to injuries.
It is said that the displacement of the meniscus valve of the emperor's left knee sounds even more troublesome than repairing a mobile phone. In order to face this life-and-death battle, he had to undergo partial meniscectomy surgery, and the ** period was as long as 6-8 weeks, which had to make the team's fans feel distressed. 13 games of absence, for the 76ers, is undoubtedly a "fall from grace", and according to the league regulations, if you miss 4 more games, you will lose the qualification of regular season MVP and scoring champion. It's like playing a game of "lost and regained", and the rules are quite ruthless, and there is no bottom line.
The conversation turned to Maxey, the team's rookie who rose to prominence, averaging 26 per game2 points, not bad. was selected for the All-Star team, and now Maxey's value has skyrocketed, comparable to a new student. But the 76ers seem to be a little vague about his contract extension, like a girl hinting to you that her birthday is coming up, and you have to back it up, otherwise don't blame her for being unhappy. People Maxi want 5 years 20.3 billion of the top salary, but 76 people don't think so, maybe they think this price is too high, and they have to look at other small fresh meat to see who is more worthy of that price. The renewal issue is full of doubts, just like a suspense movie, and now fans are speculating whether to renew the contract or not, and the plot is tense and exciting.
The overall situation of the 76ers can be described as scarred. In addition to the Great and Maxey, there are also a group of teammates who are also injured. It has to be said that the 76ers are simply regulars in the injury ward. It's like a hospital, the doors are crowded, and the players are going in and out one after the other. Melton has been out for a long time, and Batum, Harris and others are also regulars. The Emperor's injury is even more distressing to the fans, if they can customize protective clothing for players, I don't know if it will become a new trend.
Speaking of the Emperor's performance this season, it is simply full of firepower, averaging 35 per game3 points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and a shooting percentage of 533%, isn't this the basketball version of the all-round God of War? The three-point shot is even more handy, as if it is making a movie, and every shot is a visual feast. However, fate did not seem to favor the emperor for long, and injuries caused him to lose the opportunity to compete for the MVP and scoring title. This is like a martial arts master, who is athletic, but stepped on a banana peel at a critical moment and fell into disgrace.
It seems that the situation of the 76ers is a little bad, the emperor is injured, the overall state of the team is turbulent, like a pack of pigeons that have lost their sense of direction, and they don't know where to fly. However, don't underestimate the 76ers, after all, they still have a new star - Maxey. Not only did he average points per game, but he also appeared in the All-Star Game and became a highlight of the team. The renewal issue has not been resolved, it seems to be a suspense drama, and fans are looking forward to the exciting development of the next episode. To be honest, Maxey's rise may be a new hope for the 76ers, like a twinkling star in the late autumn sky.
The 76ers' other role players also have highlights, and the pairing of Melton and Maxey is a match made in heaven, like a cup of milk tea with pearls, sweet and perfect. Although Harris's contract is a bit big, he is still an indispensable existence, like a bottle of soy sauce, and he always feels that something is missing when he leaves. Batum and Morris' contracts are expiring, and it feels like a good time to sign free agents, like a rush to buy, and the 76ers may be able to pick a player they like.
Speaking of the duo of the 76ers, the Great and Maxi can be said to be a seamless match. 5 years 20.3 billion contract renewal, plus Embiid 4 years 2The contract of 1.3 billion yuan is like a match between a luxury car and a famous watch, highlighting the demeanor of a wealthy family. If the Emperor can stay away from injury, the duo will definitely be a big force in the East, like a pair of dance partners who are full of tacit understanding, just waiting for the stage lights to light up for them.
However, the Emperor's injury problems are not trivial. His physique and attacking style of play with the ball are like that of a theatrical actor, and every game is a thrilling show. Nas's use of the Emperor is also amazing, playing an average of 34 minutes per game, which is simply challenging the Emperor's physical fitness. The reason for the Emperor's injury was also in the game against the Warriors, and he was pressed on his knee by Kuming when he played with an injury, which was like a blind date, and the result was not suitable for each other, which embarrassed the two.
If the Emperor had managed injuries the way Leonard did, he might have been able to avoid these injuries. Of course, in this case, the emperor may have to give up back-to-back games, after all, physical fitness is king. But it also means he may not be able to meet the league's 65-game rule, and thus lose the honor of scoring title and MVP. Sometimes, for the sake of dreams, you have to pay some price, just like playing a game, losing a level, but in order to win the final victory, you always have to give up.
We can't ignore the 76ers' bench strength. Reid and Bamba are two center forwards on the bench, of which Reed is tough on the field, but he seems to have a little playing time, like a powerful actor, every time he only makes a cameo, and does not have the opportunity to show his full strength. If Coach Nas can give Reed more opportunities, he may be able to see more exciting performances on the court.
The 76ers' predicament is not easy. Injuries, contract renewals, these are things that need to be carefully considered. Whether the Emperor can get rid of the injury troubles and whether Maxi can successfully renew his contract are the focus of fans' concerns. However, the world of sports has always been full of uncertainty, and every game is an unknown adventure, like playing a game without rules, and no one knows who will have the last laugh in the end.
Finally, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the 76ers in the comment section. Do you think the Emperor can successfully get rid of the injury, whether Maxi is worth the price, and whether the 76ers can rise in the haze of injury, welcome to leave a message to discuss!
