Changed, Embiid completely changed! The largest center in the NBA Eastern Conference

Mei Ke Sidery reported that Embiid has lost a lot of weight this summer offseason, hoping to play more games in the new season and help Philadelphia join the championship ranks.

Celtics (Tatum's Achilles tendon rupture), Pacers (Halliburton's Achilles tendon torn), and Bucks (Lillard returns to the Trail Blazers)... The overall competitiveness of the East in the new season has declined greatly. As long as Philadelphia ensures that the Big Three are healthy in the long term, there is indeed a chance to achieve great success.

Last season's regular season, Embiid (19 games) + George (41 games) + Maxi (52 games), and the three players only played 112 games in total, resulting in Philadelphia's poor record of 24 wins and 58 losses, ranking 13th in the Eastern Conference, but thus got the Tanhua signing and won the double-season defender Edgecom in this year's draft.

Back to Embiid, a significant weight loss is very good for him and is conducive to alleviating his knee injury. Last season, he was reimbursed due to a knee injury and caused a serious decline in competitive form. He averaged only 23.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, with three shooting percentages of 44.4%, 29.9% and 88.2%.

However, weight loss will also lead to a certain extent to Embiid's physical ability to confront others is not as good as before, which will affect the efficiency of strong attacks in the inside line. Considering his playing styles and his increasingly tendency to score in the middle and long distances in recent years, this is not a particularly noteworthy issue. Before last season, Embiid averaged 30+ points per game for three consecutive seasons, especially in the 22-23 regular season with averaging 33.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1 break and 1.7 caps. He led Philadelphia to rank third in the Eastern Conference with 54 wins and 28 losses. He was elected as the MVP. In his health, he is truly the largest center in the Eastern Conference.

Embid is now 31 years old and is still in his peak period. As long as he remains healthy after losing weight as mentioned above, he will be able to return to the previous average of 30+10 games in the new season and lead Philadelphia back to the top position in the Eastern Conference. Then he may not only strive for the championship, but also hope to win the second MVP trophy in his career.

In short, you can be a glass man, but you can't say that he is a good person. Any opponent who stands on the court must be on the battlefield.
