Joel Embiid is way too strong for the Washington Wizards. This is an easy observation after the first three games won by the Philadelphia Sixers. In particular that of last night, during which the Cameroonian pivot scored 36 points in 28 minutes. With 14 successful shots in 18 attempts. Total domination of the superstar, with opponents left unanswered.
“They were defending one-on-one, it’s their choice. I wanted to take advantage of it. Anyway, it’s hard to stop myself even by doing two-way shots ”, entrusts the person concerned.
Since arriving in Philly, Doc Rivers focused on playing the game on offense. He encouraged Embiid to make the passes in the right timing whenever he is caught by two defenders and to speak his size, power and touch when he finds himself in isolation. Either way, the Sixers quite often find a solution.
“Joel was really, really special tonight,” said Rivers. Same story with the opposing coach, Scott Brooks : “I can’t imagine anyone playing better than him. He was at an MVP level. It definitely poses problems for us. “
With such a dominant Joel Embiid, the Sixers usually roll over their opponents. Her team now leads 3-0 and she can already look ahead. And the next match-ups should also play in the giant’s favor. Indeed, Philadelphia will face – in case of qualification – the winner of the duel between Atlanta and New York (2-1). Not sure that a Big Man is brought to stop him in this series.
