Through Joel Embiid’s outstanding game in Game 3 of the Philadelphia 76ers versus the New York Knicks series, a vivid example of how dangerous he is and a hero who can save the game was displayed.
The game ended in tumult for Embiid, who was flagrantly fouled and related to the incident with Robinson at the beginning of the 1st quarter. Notwithstanding the situation that he did not get sent off, it was difficult for the Sixers to come back to the series as they had to play catch-up and put more pressure on Embiid to perform.
With full spirit, Embiid took charge of the third quarter with superb efficiency, netted 18 points, and led the Sixers to a 24-9 score by the end of the third quarter. The unthinkable performance of the rookie during this chapter, spectacularly staging his offensive output with three 3-pointers made within one minute and thus pushing Philadelphia to outscore the Knicks 43-27 in only 12 minutes, is what everybody was talking about the next day.
Proving his resiliency and leadership, despite times when he had to struggle with a health issue such as Bell’s palsy or a meniscus book proved fatal, Embiid was a force to reckon with on the court. His career 50-point performance just happens to be his playoff-best and full of outstanding shooting accuracy, demonstrating his mastery of love towards the Sixers’ triumphant victory.
Empathizing with his play, which has greatly influenced the series, Embiid mentioned that as he moves forward, concentrating and facing the challenges is key to growing and making him achieve consistently high performances.
However, his undeniable ‘flagrant foul’ resulted in much criticism that his protection of himself was the real reason for it, as he has had his share of future-altering injuries in the past. However, adversaries blasted the play, while Robinson himself was so delighted after the events that no dire misfortune hit him.
Because it puts the series in critical condition, Joel Embiid’s superheroic play has become a guiding light for their hopes of proceeding as they advance in the postseason. From now on, it will be a challenge for the team, but they can win in future games by maintaining the confidence level of Embiid and his strong offensive skills.
