In the first half, the 76ers felt good from the outside today, and at the end of the first quarter, 25-24, the 76ers led by one point.

In the first quarter, Embiid had fewer chances and more switchbacks.

The 76ers scored five straight points at the start of the second quarter.

But Hardaway of the Hawks hit two three-pointers, and he led the team to an 8-0 spurt that put the Hawks in the lead.

With 2:20 left before halftime, the Hawks led by six points at 54-48.

The 76ers then pulled back four points.

At the end of the first half, the 76ers trailed by two points at 54-56 Hawks.

The Hawks' Millsap had 11 points and seven rebounds in the first half, Bazemore had 11 points and Howard had nine points and nine rebounds;

The 76ers' Zhang Zifeng scored 11 points and Grant scored nine.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Zhang Zifeng and Sharic combined for six points to play a wave of 9-2 mini-spurt, and the 76ers led by five points at 63-58.

In the second half, the 76ers stepped up their defense. Under the entanglement of Ibaka, Millsap did not have a good chance for a while.

Schroeder passes the ball to Howard on the inside.

Since joining the NBA for so many years, Howard's offensive methods are still only strong back-to-back and unreliable turning hooks.

Leaning on Embiid with his back and receiving a pass, Howard leaned back with his back.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng's excellent performance, he has now scored 20 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists.

But he only got 11 points and 8 rebounds, which is a very dismal statistic.

Embiid secretly warned himself in his heart to work harder and never fall behind.

Embiid lowered his center of gravity, stabilized the lower plate, pressed his left arm against Howard's waist, put his right foot between Howard's legs, raised his right hand, and blocked Howard's shooting space as much as possible!

After Howard leaned back and made two simple virtual turns, he stuck Embiid and forced a break inside.

He was forced to take a few steps back by Howard's huge thrust, but Embiid still pressed Howard as much as he could.

Stuck with Embiid, Howard pushed into the box, turned and jumped up on one foot, trying to make a small hook.

But in the fourth quarter, Howard had a lot of physical exertion, and this time the jump height was not as high as the beginning.

The ball just left the hand.

Embiid's big hand appeared and slapped the ball down.

Syllable!

The basketball bounced off the rebound, and Rondo scrambled to get the ball first.

The 76ers quickly countered defensively, and Embiid also ran forward quickly.

The Eagles quickly retreated.

Seeing that there were too many people in the middle, Zhang Zifeng ran to the side and opened up the space.

Rondo advanced to the front court and saw that the Eagles were very strict with Zhang Zifeng, and he saw teammates behind him.

Rondo ran directly to the other side of Zhang Zifeng with the ball, got out of the way of the middle, and then made a back-hitting pass to send the ball to Embiid, who was following him.

After receiving a pass from Rondo, Embiid hit the inside in the middle and completed a powerful slam dunk.

It was supposed to be a simple dunk, but Embiid ran too fast, his inertia was huge, his center of gravity was unstable during the landing, and his left knee was under additional pressure, and he fell to the ground in pain.

Seeing Embiid fall, coach Brown was dumbfounded. No, I just came back and played two or three games, and I was injured again!

Fortunately, Embiid only lay on the ground for a while, then quickly got up, put his hand on his left knee, and walked himself into the locker room with the team doctor for further examination.

Embiid was injured suddenly, but the 76ers had already had one experience, and this time they didn't panic.

Under the leadership of Zhang Zifeng, the 76ers still calmly controlled the pace of the game.

At the end of the third quarter, the 76ers led by 13 points, 90-77 Hawks.

At the break, the team doctor also came with good news, Embiid has no major left knee injury and can return to this game.

Before the start of the fourth quarter, Embiid came out of the locker room and returned to the bench.

In the fourth quarter, Embiid returned to the court. As soon as he came up, Embiid made a strong attack inside, causing Howard to foul and get a chance to add a free throw.

1 of 2 free throws, 91-77.

But after less than 2 minutes of play, Embiid still felt pain in his left knee and returned to the locker room. After a few minutes, Embiid was back on the bench.

Coach Brett. Brown didn't let him play again for the rest of the game just to be on the safe side.

Although during Embiid's absence, Dunleavy and Dragic each hit jumpers to close the score.

But Zhang Zifeng scored four points in a row to stabilize the situation, and Sharic and Grant also took turns scoring, and the 76ers led 105-90 with 3:45 left in the fourth quarter. After that, the Hawks struggled to recover, and the 76ers eventually won 110-93 against the Hawks.

After the team's victory, Embiid, who was watching the game from the sidelines, got up to celebrate with his teammates, and it was not serious to see if his injury was not serious.

After Embiid's comeback, he performed well.

76ers general manager Sam Kimchi called Jazz general manager Kevin O'Connor, "Hey, Kevin! What about my previous proposal. Trade our Embiid for your Gobert, and you've seen Embiid in action. Seriously, if it weren't for Zhang Zifeng on our team, we would never trade Embiid, a superstar with great potential, to you! ”

Kevin O'Connor pondered for a moment and said, "We agree to a trade, but about trading Embiid + Henderson for Gobert + next year's draft pick, we don't agree!" ”

Sam Kimchi shouted, "What do you disagree with?" You're not trying to trade Gobert and Embiid one-on-one. I'm telling you, you don't even have to think about it, it's absolutely impossible. Gobert is a little better at rim protection and rebounding, but lacks offensive ability and can only rely on point guards to feed the cake. Embiid is a skilled insider, and Gobert is not qualified to compare with Embiid at all. ”

Kevin O'Connor hurriedly replied, "Didn't you watch today's game?" Embiid seems to be injured again! Embiid has only played many games and undergone surgery in his three seasons in the NBA. Embiid has knee injuries, and you and I know that we are taking a big risk when we trade him! So next year's first-round pick, we absolutely disagree. But we're willing to trade Gobert + Trey Lyles + next year's second-round pick for Embiid. Trey Lyles is a great boy! You will not suffer if you get him! ”

Sam Kimchi shouted, "NO!NO!NO! I can assure you that Embiid has absolutely no knee problems, he's healthy. We've got Ibaka, we've got Sharic, we don't need a big forward. We just want picks for next year. Give us next year's draft pick and you'll get Embiid. Got it? ”

Kevin O'Connor said with a look of disappointment, "Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to be able to make a deal!" ”

Sam Kimchi shouted, "Well, you don't want it." No problem! I'm sure there are definitely people who want Embiid, and I hope you don't regret it in the future! ”

Kevin O'Connor shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe put, but maybe in the future I'll be glad I didn't make a stupid decision today!" ”

The phone hung up, and the 76ers and Jazz's trade for Embiid and Gobert failed again!

In addition to the Jazz, the 76ers also consulted the Nuggets, Bucks, and Hawks about trades, and soon the news that the 76ers were trying to trade Embiid spread throughout the league.

The well-informed ACC agency soon found out about it, and Leon Rose spoke to Embiid right away.

When he heard that the 76ers wanted to trade him to the Utah Jazz, Embiid shouted, "What? Jazz! No, I definitely don't want to go to Utah City! ”

Leon Rose hurriedly said, "Joel, I think the same thing as you. If it's a big city like the Lakers or New York, we can still consider it. To avoid being traded, Joel can ...... like this"
