The 76ers made a big move to strengthen this season, bringing in George and Embiid to join forces, but there doesn't seem to be too good chemistry, and the two are "painful" physiques, taking turns in and out of the injury list, so that the Philadelphia Army's record is not only better, but has even fallen to outside the top 10 in the East.
Even though the 76ers star Embiid was out due to a knee injury that day, the Philadelphia Army played competitively against the league's leading Cavaliers, with a team shooting rate of 50.6% and hitting 21 three-pointers, George contributed 30 points and 5 rebounds, including 21 points in the second half, and Maxey scored 29 points and 7 assists.
George said: "It felt great, even though the season wasn't as good as we wanted and we weren't lucky, but we did our best to do the right thing and it paid off. Oubre, who scored 22 points on the 25th, praised George's performance in the second half, "He has been a good catalyst for us. For the Cavaliers, Mitchell scored a game-high 37 points and seven assists, followed by Jeromy with 33 points.
The most anticipated "Yonghu War" will be staged on the 26th Beijing time, which is the second time that the two teams have met since last year's Christmas War.
