Embiid, again absent.
On January 30, Beijing time, the 76ers lost to the Trail Blazers 104-130 awayIn this game, the two cores of the 76ers, Embiid and Maxey, were all absent, the two can average 61 per game this season7 points, without the firepower of these two, the 76ers suffered a three-quarter collapse, and the fiasco did not seem to be a surprise.
It needs to be said that this is Embiid's second consecutive game absence, the last game of the 76ers away against the Nuggets, fans are looking forward to a head-to-head conversation between the two current centers, but 15 minutes before the game, Embiid entered the injury report, and then suddenly decided not to play. 
Because of "escape", Embiid was wildly ridiculed by the Nuggets' home court, and the fans also took out Embiid's missing person notice - the last time Embiid played at the Nuggets home court was 1541 days, the longest of all players in the league, no wonder Nuggets fans mocked him. 
It is worth mentioning that this incident not only made fans ridicule, but also attracted the attention of NBA officials, according to the report of Shams of the Register: ".Embiid didn't enter the injury report until 15 minutes before the game, and the league will certainly look into it。Because of this, many fans suspect that Embiid's absence from the game against the Trail Blazers this time is a response to the league - if he can't beat the Nuggets, but if he can beat the Trail Blazers, it really seems a little unreasonable? 
In this regard, Ramona Shelburne of ESPN said on the show: "It is not up to them to decide whether the player's name is on the injury list, Embiid does not want to be on the injury list, he wants to play the Nuggets, he starts to warm up, but he can't even jump, the knee injury makes him very uncomfortable, he doesn't necessarily play the Pacers, but he does, this may be the mistake." ”
Putting aside the "peculiarities of the game against the Nuggets", Embiid does have a knee injuryAnd the capricious injury could ruin his historic season. So far, the 76ers have played a total of 45 games, and Embiid has played in 33 of them, that is, he has missed 12 games, and according to the new rules, if Embiid wants to participate in the MVP and All-NBA selection, he can only miss up to 5 more games (at least 65 games to participate in the selection). 
First of all, it needs to be affirmed that in the 33 games he played, Embiid's performance is really historic, and he can get it every game at the moment36.0 points 114 rebounds 58 assists, and 11 steal 18 caps, No. 1 in the league in scoring, No. 6 in the league in rebounds, and No. 10 in the league in blocks. And Embiid's offensive efficiency is also excellentShooting 539% and 36 percent from three-point range8% and 88 free throw percentage3%, and the true hit rate is as high as 650%Now Embiid is at the peak of his career, his mid-range level is not even lost to Durant, and scoring is really too simple for him. 
A few simple stats to get a feel for how strong Embiid is in the regular season this season: - historicalNo. 7 averaged 35+ per game in a single season- HistoricallyThe third place averaged 35+10 per game in a single season- HistoricallyNo. 2: 35+10+5 per game in a single season- Single game70 points, 18 rebounds and 5 assistsHistorical level highlights——Most points per minute in history, better than ChamberlainPER value 3526, the first in history, 32 ahead of Jokic, who is in second place85
Combined with the 76ers' third-place record in the East, Embiid is undoubtedly the biggest favorite for MVP this season, and his name has been ranked first in the official MVP rankings for the past many times.
Don't forget about defense, Embiid this seasonAn average of 21 can interfere with opponents per game4 shots, opponents shot from 505% down to 439%, who averaged the second-most interference per game in the league this season, behind López; López averaged 24 interferences per game0 shots, but the opponent's shooting percentage dropped by only 25%, and of all players who averaged more than 10 interferences per game, Embiid allowed opponents to shoot by a percentage of 66%) No. 1 in the league, and from this point of view, Embiid is not only an MVP favorite, but also a DPOY favorite. 
As a result, Embiid may not be able to participate in the selection because of the "attendance" problem, and here, I have to mention the controversial nature of the new rules. The "65 games" rule was originally created to prevent rotation, and judging from the situation this season, it definitely has a role, but some players do not agree with this. 
For example, Dream Green sprayed in the offseason: "Some players miss 10 games because of injuries, they don't qualify to compete for the best team, and you find that a fool makes the best team." All of a sudden, you find out that Curry, Doncic, LeBron, Bushy Eyebrows, Leonard didn't make the All-NBA teamSo can this All-Star represent the NBA?？"In terms of strength, Embiid this season is definitely at the MVP level, and once again at the level of a whileBut now he may well be the first "victim" of the new rules, MVP, DPOY, I can't get one for a while.
Aside from the honors, let's talk about Embiid's absence against the Nuggets. What makes Embiid suspicious is that he always seems to be absent when he picks some strong teams, and this season in addition to the Nuggets, there are also Timberwolves, Celtics, Kings, Rockets, Magic, Heat, PelicansTherefore, the gold content of his data will inevitably raise questions, including his current record of more than 20 consecutive 30+ games.
Combined with his abnormal performance in the playoffs several times, in fact, no matter how explosive his performance in the regular season, most fans will not rate him too highly, and there seems to be only one way to break this impression - win the championship, whether there is an MVP in the end, and hope that in the playoffs, he can fight for breath.
