Jokic s "triple double" was elected as the best of the day! And Embiid expressed dissatisfaction after scoring 20 points in 20 minutes

On October 26th, there are a total of 5 games in the NBA regular season today. After two intensive game days after the opening game, for most teams, they finally have a day to have a good rest. The results of the 10 teams that played were as follows: the Magic lost to the Bulls 98-110; the Thunder beat the Hawks 117-100; the Grizzlies beat the Pacers 128-103; the 76ers narrowly beat the Hornets 125-121; and the Nuggets beat the Suns 133-111. There are two best candidates today: Holmgren and Jokic. As for the star with the worst performance today, there is no doubt that it is Embiid.

Briefly review a few games. The Magic can be said to be one of the teams with the biggest news in the Eastern Conference during the offseason. In order to acquire Bane, they spent 4 first-rounders + 1 first-round pick + 2 immediate assets. But after the start of the new season, in addition to a difficult victory over the Heat in the opening game, they have already lost to the Hawks and Bulls. In the battle against the Bulls, the Magic team's performance was a disaster: the team only made 3 of 24 three-pointers. Bane, who had high hopes, scored 14 points and lost 13 points on the field; Jones, as the starting point guard, made 0 of 5. As the team's kings and kings, Banqueiro and Wagner Jr. have to take care of their teammates after the new lineup begins to adjust, which makes them feel bad. The Bulls relied on their solid lineup, with 7 players in double figures, and Kiddy led the team to an easy victory over the Magic.

The Grizzlies defeated the Pacers in a battle. The Pacers' leader Marceline retired from injury after scoring 26 points. The Grizzlies' biggest surprise came from this summer's No. 11 pick Coward, which the Grizzlies acquired from the Trail Blazers this summer with the No. 16 pick (Yang Hansen) + future first-round picks + two second rounds. Coward played 24 minutes in this game, making 6 of 6 three-pointers and 9 of 13 overall. He scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists! The Grizzlies just lost one Bane and developed another one? In the game between the Thunder and the Hawks, the gap in strength between the two sides was too large. Holmgren scored 31 points, 12 rebounds and 3 steals on 8-of-12 shooting. Alexander scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists in only 29 minutes. The Thunder defeated the game in the third quarter. With Jaywe unable to play, Holmgren stepped forward to share the pressure on Alexander.

The Nuggets defeated the Suns with 22 points. From the first quarter, Jokic was evenly matched, ensuring that every teammate could get their own piece of cake. In the first half, Jokic easily contributed 11 assists, leading the team to widen the point difference. After the rebounds reached double figures in the third quarter, Jokic started to score hard, and finally scored 14 points, 14 rebounds and 15 assists. Jokic's performance is easily reminiscent of Westbrook who was still in the Thunder 7 or 8 years ago. Westbrook was surrounded by Adams, George and others at the time. He would first assist, then rebound, and finally score. But joking aside, Jokic's triple-double dominance in the regular season is still terrifying! This is the 69th triple-double in the third quarter of Jokic's career and the 166th triple-double in his career, second only to Westbrook's 203 times and Robertson's 181 times.

In terms of his contribution to the team and the way he dominates the game, Jokic's best guess today is not a big one. But Embiid, the worst star today, may not be able to escape. The 76ers narrowly defeated the Hornets by 4 points. Embiid played 20 minutes, made 7 of 11 shots, scored 20 points, 2 rebounds, and 4 assists, plus 4 turnovers. The plus-minus value was -2! Just like the last game against the Celtics, Embiid was not only absent from the decisive moment in this game, he was not even allowed to play in the fourth quarter. In the last game against the Celtics, the 76ers' center was Barlow at the last minute, and the center at the last moment of this game was Drummond. The key is that a lineup like the 76ers has a miraculous effect. In the last minute of the game, Maxey's jump shot + Grimes' accurate three-pointer helped the team take a three-point lead!

Maxi then made a free throw to seal the victory! Maxey + Edgecombe + Oubre + Grimes have become the main framework for the team to win, and Embiid has gradually become an outsider. After the game, Embiid couldn't sit still and fired directly at the press conference: The longer I sit, the more fragmented my playing time becomes. Playing for two or three minutes and then coming off is meaningless to me. I might as well stay at home with my family. On the other hand, if you play continuously for a long time, it means that you will be exhausted at halftime. Until I fully recover, I trust the medical team, but I also have to fight to express my own demands. The way Nurse uses Embiid is to focus on the first half and use up his 20 minutes per game as early as possible.

In the second half of today's game, Embiid only played a total of 4 minutes! Nurse's response was also very wise: We also look forward to the relaxation of his playing time limit (this is not up to me, but to the medical team), he is too important to us! This is the 300th game milestone in Nurse's coaching career. The 76ers started the game with two consecutive wins. Maxey and Edgcomb led the team to quickly get on the right track. What about Embiid? There may be one interpretation: sell for a price, provided you don't get hurt, and then send it away quickly.
