George: I feel sorry for Embiid. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable and insist on training, which ultimately leads to being unable to play.

May 20th News Recently, Paul George participated in the "ThePivot" podcast and talked about the 76ers' failed season.

Question: "The season started with the championship expectations, but watched the season open high and end low. How strong is this frustration?"

George: "It's very frustrating. Not only with Maxi and Embiid, we also have Caleb Martin, Oubre, and Yabussele - he just finished an excellent Olympic Games. From top to bottom, this team is full of talent, and except for the two superstars, the others are also strong. What's most frustrating is that we are talented but cannot play together. , injuries are constantly. We must thank Embid, who tried his best. Some days, he was obviously unwell, but he gritted his teeth and said, 'I want to try, I want to play with my brothers'. This is too difficult. We worked hard to get in and prepare when we train, but we had to play the next day. Sometimes Embid insisted on participating in training, but after training, we felt sore after training, which made us unable to play in the game. It was really difficult to balance these, but I want to praise the atmosphere in the locker room - even after going through the difficulties, we always united and told ourselves 'no matter what , do your best'." ”

"I really felt sorry for Embiid at that time. He was eager to play and wanted to contribute to the team, but injuries kept bothering him. I had experienced injuries myself and knew that feeling. It's hard to imagine a 7-foot-tall, 270-280 pound big man with such a body shape and playing such a tough game. I was in Philadelphia just to partner with him, but he couldn't play tonight. We had to adjust our strategy temporarily, 'What should we do tonight Play? ‘We need Maxi to bear more’ ‘Oubre, you have to stand up tonight’. We have almost been in such panic throughout the season, constantly filling the gaps where Embiid is absent. ”

“We know it takes time to run in, so we stay optimistic and eager to be a champion competitor, but the reality is – we are not ready yet. As you said, to run in and form cohesion, we have to go through some tests, and our 'quick' goal is a bit too hasty." ”
