Maxi scored 39 points and 10 assists! The 76ers made a huge comeback with 19 minutes in overtime. I completely saw three realities in this game

The NBA regular season continues, with the Philadelphia 76ers going away to challenge the Washington Wizards. The 76ers started with three consecutive wins and remained undefeated. With the sudden emergence of Maxey and Xiao Ai, they are getting rid of the dependence on King George. In this game, the two teams started to compete from the first quarter. The Wizards scored 40 points in a single quarter and had the upper hand. In the second quarter, the Emperor led the team to chase points, and the Wizards responded with full firepower from beyond the three-point line. After halftime, the 76ers were still 4 points behind. After changing sides and fighting again, the Wizards once extended their lead to 19 points. The 76ers were always behind and chasing points until the emperor was replaced in the final quarter. Grimes suddenly broke out and the 76ers evened the point difference in one fell swoop. At the decisive moment, Bona made contributions on both offense and defense, and the game entered overtime. In overtime, the Wizards took the lead by 5 points. Bona made contributions on both offense and defense. Grimes and Maxey used solid free throws to seal the victory. In the end, the 76ers narrowly defeated the Wizards 139-134.

The 76ers were exhausted in back-to-back battles. The Wizards took advantage of the right time and place to wait for work. The young people of the Wizards were barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. They were eager to use speed and three-pointers to defeat the 76ers! At the end of the game, the Wizards outscored the 76ers 26-9 on fast break. The team scored 17 three-pointers with a 39.5% shooting rate. This was the key to their ability to establish a huge 19-point lead. But the Wizards were still too young after all. Everyone worked hard and then failed three times. At critical moments, there was no superstar to take over the game. Especially in the final battle and overtime, the Wizards' offensive power failure was too fatal. They lost a net loss of 16 points in the final quarter and made many fatal mistakes at the end of overtime.

Eight members of the Wizards team scored in double figures. Veterans Middleton and McCollum were willing to serve as green leaves, and the two supernovas George and Sarr showed their talents. Among them, George contributed 20 points + 9 rebounds + 7 assists, and Salhao scored 30 points + 11 rebounds + 5 assists + 2 steals + 2 blocks. According to statistics, Sarr is the third player in the NBA in the past 45 years to score at least 30 points + 10 rebounds + 5 assists + 2 steals + 2 blocks in a single game before the age of 21. The first two players are James and Wenbanyama. Even so, the Wizards still lost a good game and paid the tuition. The 76ers made a huge comeback with 19 points in overtime and won 4 consecutive victories. I completely saw three realities in this game.

First, Maxi showed his true qualities as a superstar at critical moments, and the king of the final quarter was born. In the first three games of the season, Maxi scored two 40+ points and led the league with a total of 39 points in the final quarter! In this campaign, Maxi continued his hot streak, playing 47 minutes, making 11 of 25 shots (3 of 9 three-pointers), 14 of 16 free throws, and scored 39 points, 3 rebounds, 10 assists, 1 steal, and 1 block. Especially in the final quarter and overtime, Maxi scored 23 points, showing his true qualities as a superstar at critical moments! After 4 games, Maxi averaged 37.5 points per game, leading the league. According to statistics, Maxey scored 150 points in 4 games, becoming the fourth guard in NBA history to accomplish this feat, comparable to Jordan, Westbrook and West. In the words of fans, Embiid may be the only one who can guard Maxi.

Second, Grimes is so good, and his big contract is guaranteed! The 76ers were able to complete a great reversal. In addition to Maxi, the two substitutes Grimes and Bona also made great contributions. Bona got 5 rebounds and 5 blocks, and made many achievements at critical moments! Grimes played 38 minutes as a substitute, making 7 of 17 (3 of 10 three-pointers), 6 of 6 free throws, and scored 23 points + 7 rebounds + 3 assists + 3 steals + 2 blocks. The plus-minus value on the field was as high as +19, the best in the game! Especially in the fourth quarter, Grimes scored 12 points, including a huge three-pointer, so arrogant! In 4 games, he averaged 17.8 points + 5 rebounds + 3.8 assists + 3.3 three-pointers per game. It was a wise choice for Grimes to accept the qualifying offer contract. The big contract should be stable.

Third, the 76ers got rid of the dependence on the Emperor! In this campaign, the Emperor performed well in his comeback. He played 23 minutes, made 9 of 17 shots (3 of 6 three-pointers), 4 of 6 free throws, and contributed 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists. Even so, the 76ers still strictly controlled the emperor's playing time, and he was put on the bench in overtime. There is an intriguing detail: when the 76ers sealed the victory, the Emperor jumped higher than anyone else when celebrating with his teammates, completely unlike someone who was injured. NBA legend Cousins ​​pointedly pointed out: The 76ers played very well when Emperor was away. They may have been discussing the future without Embiid internally, and may even send Emperor away in the middle of the season! Yes, the 76ers have won 4 consecutive victories, and they are getting rid of the dependence on the Emperor. Even if the Emperor continues to stay on the team, his role should be reduced, and Maxi is more suitable to be the leader of this team. Fans and friends, what do you think of this? Come and leave me a comment to discuss.
