On March 31, Beijing time, the NBA regular season was in full swing, and the story about Embiid and Simmons was talked about again. In the middle of the season, a trade between the 76ers and the Nets completely deprived Embiid and Simmons of the chance to play side by side, Simmons joined the Nets, and Embiid welcomed new teammate James Harden.
Embiid and Simmons' highest achievements were only to play in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and the cooperation between the two was also at this point, really lamenting the impermanence of the world, until now Embiid is still puzzled by Simmons' departure. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Embiid said that in the previous days, he had always believed that Simmons would return to the 76ers, and Simmons also lost a lot of money because he refused to participate in the 76ers.
Embiid is sad about this and wants to help Simmons as much as he can, but the fight for the championship is just as important. Embiid also said that he had read a lot of reports about Simmons, but those reports made Embiid feel angry, and it seemed that Simmons's departure embiid was still in the dark.
The reporter also revealed that Embiid and Simmons did not talk, not after the transaction, not in the months before the transaction, although Simmons said that he often went to the 76ers training gym to train, but Embiid said that he had never seen Simmons in the training gym. Embiid also said that he did not have a conflict with Simmons, that he did not know why Simmons left, but that he would respect Simmons' decision.
Simmons' departure was unfortunate, but it had happened, and Embiid accepted it. Maybe this is life, there are many people I meet along the way, many people are passers-by, but some people can leave good memories with you, and some people are destined to be passing through the clouds.
Embiid has also performed quite well this season, more stable after partner Harden, averaging 29.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.4 blocks, 1.2 steals per game, and the individual is a high-quality performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and the 76ers this season are also pointing to the championship, looking forward to the perfect cooperation between Embiid and Harden.
How far do you think the 76ers can go?
