Friday morning, Anthony Edwards had regained first place in the Top 10 with a “T-Mac” against the Grizzlies. This Saturday, what do we find in first place in the Top 10? A “T-Mac”, this time signed Joel Embiid ! The action is always as spectacular and unexpected, and the Sixers pivot admits that it was the Wolves back who inspired him to make this gesture.
“I like to challenge myself” says Embiid. “Anthony Edwards is one of the three favorite players in the NBA. He's at the top. The guy is so good… I saw his dunk the day before, and I was like, “If he can do that, why can't I do it?” » » I'm a big fan of his, I love him and I love his game! »
A 19th game in a row with 30 points or more
Challenge succeeded since Embiid achieved a T-Mac to eliminate Goga Bitadze. One more weapon in his arsenal when it is already very complicated to defend on him.
“It’s no coincidence that he’s MVP” reacts Jamahl Mosley, the Magic coach. “No matter how hard we use all the strategies, he will be able to go wherever he wants. If you touch it, it becomes a foul. If you don't touch him, he'll shoot 4, 5 meters where he turns at 60%.
Upon arrival, Embiid scored 36 points in 31 minutes with 11 of 11 free throws. This is his 19th game in a row with 30 points or more, and he also regains first place in the Top 10.
