Seth Curry because of the positive test for the new crown is undoubtedly a huge blow to Philadelphia, must know, Curry can score 17.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists this season, and the three shooting percentages are as high as 60.3%, 59.5% and 100%, because of his existence, Embiid was liberated to a great extent, and the team once ranked first in the Eastern Conference with a record of 6 wins and 1 loss.
Being madly double-teamed, the emperor is still alone.
I didn’t expect the trough to come so quickly. Today, against the upstart Eagles in the East, Philadelphia was firmly suppressed. Even though Embiid scored 24 points and 11 rebounds. The double-double data is also difficult to help the team grasp even the slightest initiative in the game. The emperor is constantly being double-teamed by many opponents. Even if it is a "contemporary dream", it cannot withstand such fierce firepower.
Judging from the post-game screen, Embiid created a large number of open shots through post-up singles , However, post-game data shows that the Philadelphia team three-pointers a total of only 8 of 36 shots, while the opponents It is 17 of 44. Although is in the leading position in field goal percentage and free throw percentage, but due to the huge gap in outside scoring, they still cannot avoid the fate of being hanged.
According to relevant statistics, "The Great" Embiid ranked first in the league in the number of double-teams in post-up singles this season. The key reason is that Philadelphia's perimeter players are still unsatisfactory, and Simmons has been unable to practice stable shooting. After Curry's absence, Green also became "Tielin" again. He made 0 of 7 three-pointers in this game. Even if the opponent saw that he was open, he was too lazy to pounce on to block , but continued to go to the penalty area. Going to flank Embiid, it's an embarrassing scene.
Today, due to the impact of the epidemic, Philadelphia has instantly changed from a young army of soldiers and strong s to a remnant full of holes. A few people can still put the ball firmly in the basket. It is completely predictable that the emperor received special care and the tree was unable to support it.
Lakers 1 for 1 was a great success? Embiid has tasted the pain of James
Last offseason, the Lakers gave up Green was once considered an unwise decision, and Philadelphia, who got him, became a championship contender, But now see, no Curry Jr. To save the game, Green still can't bear the heavy responsibility of shooting from the outside. The Lakers have indeed succeeded in a sense by replacing him with Schroder. Xiaohe currently has a three-point shooting rate of 34.2%, even if Green still has a solid foundation. He has basic defensive skills, but he can't even make open shots, so it's really difficult to make up for the lack of outside firepower.
In fact, the purpose of signing Green in Philadelphia is very simple, that is, to enhance the team's perimeter defense and bring championship experience at the same time, since there is still a sharpshooter Seth Curry sitting on the perimeter, three-point shooting is not the main consideration for their investment. within the range.
But no one thought that Curry would somehow be unable to play because of off-court factors. What's even more surprising is that Green's outside shooting ability would drop to such a terrifying level. After all, the latter once promised to teach Simmons how to shoot. , It seems that the current situation is that not only did Green fail to teach Simmons his shooting skills, but Xidi completely taught him how to strike iron from the outside.
Except for Green, players such as Maxi and Mathis are not very good on the perimeter, forcing Howard on the bench to look down. He shot 3 three-pointers and hit 1. , Embiid has the strength to support a tactical system, but when he pinned down the defense, his teammates still couldn't seize the opportunity, which was extremely frustrating.
After losing to the Eagles, Philadelphia has lost three straight, and their ranking has dropped to third in the Eastern Conference. Simmons and Curry should continue to be sidelined for a while. Embiid is now a taste of James' "teammate CBA" "The pain, I don't know if this will inspire a great emperor with even more crazy scores?
