The title uses "Basic" to lock in the scorer, but it's really just for rigor. Embiid's top scorer this season should be a foregone conclusion.
Embiid was able to take the scorer, thanks to two people. First, Harden. After Harden came, Embiid's job on the offensive end became simple. Harden can not only organize tandem teams, but also help Embiid attract defense. As can be seen from the data, Embiid's average score per game increased significantly after Harden joined.
Another thing Embiid needs to be thankful for is LeBron James. James has always been the lead in the scoring list, but after the Lakers decided not to qualify for the playoffs, James voluntarily gave up the competition for the scoring king. If James plays 2 more games, there is a high probability that he will be able to win the scoring king.
Embiid scored 41 points and 20 rebounds on 14-of-17 shooting against the Pacers, and his average score this season has come to 30.6 points per game. James gave up the battle for the scoring king, and Embiid's only opponent was Alphabet Brother. However, the gap between Alphabet Brother and Embiid is still relatively large. If Embiid doesn't play in his last game, Alphabet Brother will need to score 78 points to overtake Embiid. If Embiid plays in the last game, even if he scores 0 points, Alphabet Brother will need to cut 47 points to surpass Embiid.
Alphabet Brother has publicly stated that his goal is not to score the king, MVP, but the championship. This also means that the last game of the alphabet brother may be suspended, even if it is the last game, it will not go to the scoring king to brush the points. Embiid essentially locked in the scoring champions of the season. Embiid actually cares about these honors, and he has said before that he needs these honors to improve his historical status.
Embiid's average of points per game this season is set to be 30+. This is the first time since Moses Malone in 1982 that he has been able to cut an average of 30+ per game in the season. In an interview, Embiid talked about the topic. Embiid said he must surpass Moses Malone in points per game next season. By the way, Moses Malone averaged 31.1 points per game that season.
From 1982 to the present, this record has been dusted off for 40 years! Embiid said he would surpass Moses Malone next season and break his 40-year record. Do you think it's possible?
