Who can surpass 76 people?

Welcome back to the Shisan Arena.

Everyone should know that pickled pepper was injured again a few days ago.

According to Shams, Paul George suffered a left knee injury during training and had undergone arthroscopy. It is still unknown whether it can return successfully before the start of the regular season next season.

This is the second time that Pickled Pepper has undergone similar surgery, which is exactly 7 years after the first left knee arthroscopy during the Thunder period in 2018.

76 people in management, probably it's really irritating.

Last year, he received a four-year maximum salary, hoping that he could compete with Embiid for the championship, but both fell. Even Maxi, who was alone, couldn't stand it.

, and in limited competitions, Pijiao's performance declined sharply.

This season, George played only 41 games, averaging 16.2 points per game, the lowest since the 2013-14 season (17.4 points), and his shooting percentage was only 43% + 35.8% + 81.4%, which is far from the previous season.

In the last year of the Clippers, Paulo played 74 games, averaging 22.6 points per game, shooting percentage of 47.1% + 41.3% + 90.7% - even so, the Clippers refused to give him a maximum salary contract.

Then looking at the 76ers again, it seems a little more and more miserable - but after all, it is their own choice, so no one can blame.

And according to the American Journal of Sports Medicine, after two microscopic surgeries in the same joint, the athlete's exercise ability decreased by 34% on average, and the probability of reinjury was as high as 61%.

After the first left knee arthroscopy surgery in 2018, George's transverse speed has dropped significantly; now he is injured again, how much ability can he have after returning?

Once upon a time, Pickled Pepper was still the representative of the league's top wing. In the 2018-19 season, he averaged 28.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 2.2 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of 43.8%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 38.6%. In addition to being selected for the Double First Team, he also ranked third in the MVP list.

And today's Pickled Pepper, the more active battlefield seems to be a podcast? ——The fans’ dissatisfaction with him is of course inseparable from doubts about his concentration. In the 2024-25 season, Paulo’s personal podcast program was recorded in a total of 38 episodes, of which 12 were updated on the game day. Some media revealed that he frequently looked at his mobile phone to reply to podcast messages during training, which was obviously not part of the professional spirit of basketball.

So it is inevitable that the popularity of the day is too low.

Looking at his remaining contract, his salary in the next three years will be 51.67 million, 54.13 million, and 56.59 million, totaling 162 million. Such a huge contract made it difficult for 76ers to send him away even if they wanted to.

Before this year's draft, it was reported that 76ers even tried to pack the tanhua lottery + pickled pepper to seek a deal, but the market's fear of pickled pepper is even more attractive than the tanhua lottery...

In the end, the 76ers used the tanhua lottery and chose another defender VJ Edgecom, which basically means that they accept their fate in continuing to hold pickled pepper. Otherwise they should give priority to strengthening the front line.

Think about Embiid, the only true-minded team who once defeated Jokic and was elected MVP, is still lying on the sickbed. He has played 19 and 39 games respectively in the past two years... Among the active MVP players, he has not touched the floor of the division finals yet. And if this trend continues, it is not ruled out that you will never reach the division final.

Recalling back then, after the 76ers selected Embiid through the process of faith, they won two consecutive No. 1 picks, and they looked unstoppable.

Who could have thought that the plot would be so devastated later. Embiid's performance in the playoffs was dived and he was injured repeatedly; Simmons's peak debut, and it was getting worse every year until he was given up...

Fultz, who was originally high hopes and expected him to make up for Simmons' lack of firepower, simply became a squash due to a strange disease, and now he is a marginal player.

And the team has found Butler, Harden and Pickled Pepper for Embiid over the years, but has never been able to go further. They are even completely in darkness now...

The miserable is really miserable, it is really worthy of it - when Morey was given the general manager, maybe he should have thought that today would be there. His back-stinging behavior towards Harden will of course also affect the psychology and choices of other players. If it weren't for no choice, no one would be willing to join the 76ers.

After all, no one wants to worry about being stabbed in the back every day by the team.
