With 5 minutes left in the third quarter.

The 76ers attacked, Rondo passed. Embiid catches the ball, breaks through to the basket, and jumps up with a one-handed dunk.

Helped the 76ers regain a one-point lead over the 72-71 Trail Blazers.

But on the way, Embiid hit Plumlee with a knee and he fell to the ground in pain.

Embiid's downfall sent the entire 76ers shuddered.

Coach Brown has a solemn expression.

Embiid lay on the floor with his knees clutched, the referee called a stoppage to the game, and the 76ers team doctor rushed onto the court to check the injury.

Looking at Embiid lying on the floor with a pained expression, Sam. Kimchi's heart tugged.

Wouldn't it be that we had just discussed with the Jazz and Embiid was injured?

ESPN commentator Mike. Brin shouted. Embiid hit Plumlee after a brilliant mid-range dunk and fell to the ground injured. Now that the referee has called a halt to the game, let's hope Embiid is okay! ”

Van Gundy Jr. also said, "Embiid has suffered another knee injury, and I'm sure 76ers fans will be quite worried. Because of the injury, Embiid was all reimbursed for the first two seasons and did not play a game. This season, Embiid is finally back. In his first two dozen games, he averaged 20.3 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 26.5 minutes per game. Let everyone see that he Embiid has the potential to become a top superstar in the league! Obviously, Embiid has a knee injury. Fans are worried about whether he will be injured again. ”

The team doctor examined Embiid's injury in detail, gently pressed his knee, and consulted him about some related issues.

Embiid, supported by the team doctor and teammates, slowly got up.

Although Embiid got up, he still held his left knee with his hand and walked with a limp.

After a short break, Embiid was still limping, but he tried to run a few steps without feeling much pain, and then trotted all the way to the side of the court.

Mike. Brin saw the commentary and said, "Fortunately, it seems that Embiid's injury this time is not a big deal. He is now able to walk. I hope that was just a bruise! ”

Mark. "Embiid is one of the most exciting new stars in the league this season, and I hope he stays healthy and continues to give the fans a great performance!" ”

Van Gundy Jr. also said, "Yes, now the league center is declining, and there are not many good centers. Embiid has a lot of potential as a center, and I hope he can stay healthy and carry the banner of center with Davis! ”

As Embiid stood up, he looked at him like he was fine. Brett off the field. Brown's tangled heart also let go.

Although the team wants to trade Embiid, as his head coach, Brett. Brown definitely doesn't want his players to get hurt.

"How's he doing?" Brett. Brown asked, looking at the doctor who had finished the examination.

The team doctor replied, "It shouldn't be a big deal, but I recommend going to the hospital for a detailed examination." ”

Hearing the doctor say it's no big deal, Brett. Brown breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, I'll ask someone to escort him to the hospital for a check-up!"

To be on the safe side, no matter what Embiid asks, Brett. Brown both rejected Embiid's request to play again.

Send staff to take Embiid to the hospital for a detailed examination.

Mike. Brin received the latest news from the staff, commenting, "Just now the 76ers have officially announced that Embiid will not play again for the sake of insurance. Indeed, the 76ers see Embiid as an important member of the team, and they don't need to continue to risk in such a game! ”

With Embiid off the court, the 76ers reverted to their familiar tactics — the ones that revolved around Zhang Zifeng.

The game continued, with the scores alternating leads. At the last moment, Zhang Zifeng hit two free throws to help the 76ers lead by two points at 80-78 into the fourth quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the 76ers stepped up their rebounding scramble.

Zhang Zifeng, Rondo, Ibaka, and Noll frantically grabbed rebounds, and in the fourth quarter alone, the 76ers grabbed 9 more rebounds than their opponents.

Relying on multiple secondary offenses, the 76ers launched a wave of 12-4 attacks to pull the score away in one fell swoop.

In the final moments, although Lillard and McCollum rushed into full swing, they broke through consecutive points to score inside, chasing the score to 92-96, only four points away.

But at the critical moment, Zhang Zifeng stood up and scored a layup by eating McCollum once. A three-point pull-up jumper,

helped the 76ers stabilize the morale of the army.

In the end, the 76ers won 103-98 at home against the Portland Trail Blazers.

For the game, the Trail Blazers Lillard scored a game-high 30 points, McCollum had 16 points, four rebounds, four assists and three steals, and Plumlee had 14 points, seven rebounds and three blocks.

The 76ers' Embiid only played 23 minutes, but in the limited time, Embiid still showed his dominance on the inside.

He finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds and five assists on 7-of-14 shooting, and also dished out four blocks.

Although Zhang Zifeng scored 22 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds, he got a triple-double again.

However, in the post-game press conference, the focus of reporters was on Embiid.

Countless reporters have thrown out questions about Embiid, and even Zhang Zifeng, who was the most relevant in the past, has been put aside.

"What's going on with Embiid's injury right now? Will it affect his next matches? ”

"Mr. Brett, is Embiid having another relapse from his old injury?"

"Will Embiid be reimbursed for the season?"

……

76ers coach Brett. When Brown opened his hand to signal the reporter to be quiet, he said, "Embiid is just overstretching his knee, not a recurrence of an old injury, and it will not affect his next games!" ”

A reporter immediately asked, "Will Embiid play in the next game?" ”

Brett. Brown hesitated for a moment and said, "Although Embiid's injury is not a big problem, it is on the safe side!" In the next game, the 76ers will play back-to-back games, and Embiid will get a chance to rest as planned. So he won't play in the next game! ”

……

As soon as the press conference ended, Brett . Brown and Sam. Kimchi rushed to the hospital to visit Embiid and consulted a doctor by the way.

"Doctor, you mean, Embiid has a slight tear in the meniscus of his left knee?" Sam. Kimchi asked with a bitter face.

"Yes, after an MRI, we found that Embiid had a slight tear in the meniscus of his left knee. I suggest it's best to let Embiid recuperate for a while! The doctor took out the MRI photograph and placed it in front of the light box and pointed to the patient to show the two of them.

Sam. Kimchi asked anxiously, "Then how long does Embiid need to cultivate?" ”

The doctor pushed his glasses and said, "Well, it depends on Embiid's recovery." It may take more than half a month! ”

Sam. Kimchi and Brett. Brown looked at each other for a moment, then sighed and said, "Okay, I see." Thank you Doctor! ”

Consulted with a doctor, Sam. Kimchi and Brett. The two of Brown went to visit Embiid and reassured him.

Walking out of the hospital door, Sam. Kimchi vs. Brett. Brown said, "Now that this situation is going to put a hold on to trading Embiid." ”

Brett. Brown nodded and said, "I understand!" ”

A player who didn't play a game in the first two seasons finally came back, and who would dare to have a player who was injured after playing more than 20 games!

The example of Auden is still vivid, who would dare to take risks?
