193 million US dollars in 3 years! 2nd in the league! The Emperor has successfully lost weight, and he can no longer grab the scoring king and MVP

The Philadelphia 76ers have had a rare and peaceful offseason. They did not spend money like last year, nor did they poach people in the league like last year. Even Grimes was pushed three times and four times by the 76ers. If we want to trace the root cause, the key is that 76ers spent 600 million US dollars last summer but didn’t even hear a sound. They were ruined by injuries and gained wisdom after learning from their mistakes! Looking ahead to the eastern scene of the new season, the Celtics and Pacers were dragged down by injuries. The Cavaliers and the Knicks competed for the dominance is the prototype. The 76ers have good books but are full of uncertainty. Whether they can bottom out and rebound to launch an impact on the championship depends on the emperor. He maintains physical and mental health. The only way out for the 76ers.
3 years of 193 million US dollars, which disappoints people.
76 people have their own beliefs: believe in the process! The 76ers do have the confidence to believe in the process, and are full of talent, which makes people envious! From the Great Emperor to Simmons, they all have countless geniuses, but they can never break the inner demon and surpass themselves! Take Simmons as an example. He was at his peak when he debuted and was regarded as James' successor, but he stayed there and lived in panic, changing from a giant to a "refusing to vote", and finally abandoned by the 76ers and faded out of the league. Take the Emperor for example. He has been suffering from injuries since the rookie season, but the 76ers still gave him unlimited room for growth. He did not disappoint everyone and brought two scoring trophysical trophysical trophysical trophysical.
The Emperor's love of crying is not the original sin, but the biggest stain of his career is that he has never touched the ticket to the division finals. He is also the only regular season MVP in the active NBA league who has never played in the division finals. Even so, the 76ers still believed in the Emperor unconditionally! Turning back to last year's offseason, the Emperor had two years, $107 million contract, but the 76ers hurriedly renewed a three-year, $193 million super maximum salary contract with the Emperor in advance. In a sense, this contract is a reassurance for the Emperor: You are definitely the boss of the team, let it go! But what is the result? The Emperor was troubled by injuries, which made people disappointed. Last season, the Emperor played only 19 games, averaging 23.8 points + 8.2 rebounds + 4.5 assists + 0.7 steals + 0.9 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 44.4% and a three-point shooting percentage of 29.9%. Obviously, this is not the style that the two-time scoring champion and the regular season MVP should have.
The second place in the league, the Great Emperor has successfully lost weight
From being in contact with basketball at the age of 15 to becoming the first center to win the scoring king after O'Neal, from being penniless to having a career salary of over 500 million US dollars, from winning the regular season MVP to becoming the only MVP in the NBA active league who cannot touch the floor of the division finals. This is the microcosm of Emperor's NBA career - both fame and fortune, and honor and disgrace are with each other! According to statistics from the NBA official website, so far in his career, the Emperor has played 452 games, averaging 27.7 points + 11 rebounds + 3.7 assists + 0.9 steals + 1.6 blocks. The sum of the five data is 44.9, ranking second in the active league, second only to Doncic (47.1). In Maxi's words, when the Great remains healthy, he can be ranked among the top spot in the league.
The healthy emperor is a powerful tool for siegeing cities, but the problem is that health has always been the biggest hidden danger in the emperor's career. Since entering the NBA in 2014, the Emperor has been completely reimbursed for two seasons, less than 40 games in three seasons, and more than 60 games in just 4 seasons. The overall attendance rate of his career is only 50.1%. This is obviously a failure. If we want to trace the root cause, the key is that as a heavy center, the Emperor is keen on defender-style singles, and his knees and ankles bear the load he shouldn't have. Fortunately, according to NBA famous reporter Evan Sidery, the Emperor has successfully lost weight this offseason and is ready for the new season. He hopes to play in more games and make the team a real threat in the fiercely competitive East. The emperor has a long way to go, and he can no longer grab the score king and MVP
Life experience tells me that if a person can control his weight, then this person can often be entrusted. But for the 76ers and the Emperor, I believe that the process is the banner, and the success of slimming is the first step, and adjusting the playing style and mentality is the only way to success. Now this group of 76ers includes veterans like George, Zhuang Shen, Gordon, and Lowry, as well as young talents like Maxi, McCain, and Edgecomb. The 31-year-old emperor has a mission and a long way to go. He must seize the tail of his peak period to prove the value of his scoring king + MVP. But what I want to say is that if the 76ers want to truly have competitiveness, the Emperor cannot win the scoring king and MVP in order to prove himself. On the contrary, he must learn from Jokic. It is better to believe in the process than to believe in the teammates and the team. Only in this way can he stay healthy better and 76ers can truly become strong! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
