This season, the competition between the teams is unprecedentedly fierce and the 76ers are still firm in the top eight in the East, and in the game that just ended, they also defeated the Warriors, even though this game can be won, there are reasons for the Warriors' number one star Curry to play abnormally, but the Warriors are super strong after all, they have a deep winning culture, it is definitely not a simple thing to win them, but the 76ers have done it.
You know, this season's 76ers, but the loss of Simmons, the main player, off-season because of various trading rumors and 76ers management mishandling, so that Simmons and the team relationship is very stiff, so far in the new season, he has not played a game for the team.
Although Simmons does not have the ability to shoot, his organization and defense are very important to the team, without him, the strength of the 76ers is bound to be greatly reduced, but for now, the team's state is still relatively fierce, and what do they rely on to play still good results?
First, the tactical arrangement of The Rivers head coach is very reasonable. After all, Rivers is the champion coach and has a wealth of coaching experience, although there are many fans who blacken him, but Rivers' command level is absolutely online, and he is very good at grasping the form. Rivers knows that without Simmons this season, the 76ers' flank defense will drop a lot, so he consciously increased the time that Niang, Harris and Danny Green are on the floor at the same time to keep the 76ers' forward defense flexible enough. Danny Green is also very contentious, and he, who was previously dubbed Tielin by Lakers fans, shot 40 percent of his three-point shooting rate this season, providing plenty of room for singles for the likes of Harris and Embiid. Rivers is not only a good tactical level, but also a very courageous person, he dares to decide who to use according to the state of the players on the day, if the state is not good, even if you are a big star, Rivers will firmly press you on the bench, to do this, it is necessary to bear a lot of pressure, because once it fails, then the head coach will be scolded, but Rivers does not care about this, he just dares to do it. In addition, Rivers' on-the-spot command ability is also very good, such as the game that just won the Warriors, and by the second half, he clearly sensed that Curry's state was not good, so he decisively focused on the defense on Wiggins and Poole, making it difficult for them to receive the ball, and finally let the 76ers win the Warriors by 12 points in the fourth quarter, laying the foundation for the victory of the game.
Second, Harris and Curry Jr. played well. 76ers starting forward Tobials Harris has always been a very reliable singles player, he has a full range of offensive skills, whether it is back, face frame, ball holding disguise or dry pull jump shot, Harris has a good grasp, as long as he holds the ball, it is a huge threat to the opponent, Harris dribble skillfully, flexible footing, can provide the team with a bottom output. This season, Harris's shooting rate has reached 48%, which is not low, not to mention, almost every goal he scores is to break through the defense line, which is of great tactical significance to the team.
Sets curry, not as famous as his brother, but the ability to three points should not be underestimated, whether it is his own ball shooting or catching the ball around the cover, Setscuari's grasp is extremely large, his flexible running position also makes every opponent very headache, often engaged by people on horseback. Seth Curry's style of play is very spiritual, like his brother, often giving you a fatal blow where you can't notice, the three-point shot is fast and accurate, there is never any dragging mud and water, and the posture is standard and there is a strong ornamentation. This season, Curry Jr. can average 16 points per game, shooting 51%, shooting 39.8% from three points, and effective shooting at 60.2%, what does this data mean, fans who often watch the game should have understood, and I don't need to praise it. If it weren't for Curry Jr.'s accurate three-pointer to turn the tide, the 76ers would never have had the results they have now.
Third, that is the leadership role of the number one star Embiid. This season, for physical reasons, Embiid has also missed several games, and in his absence days, the 76ers have indeed struggled very hard, lacking a hard solution point on the offensive end, and the most reliable barrier on the defensive end, even if Harris and Curry Jr. play well, it is difficult to win.
When Embiid returned, the 76ers were a completely different team, with significant improvements at both ends of the line. Embiid is a big center, but he can dribble like a defender and occasionally stage a break with a dragon. Embiid's singles at the low post have become a must-have in the league, and the dream footsteps are at hand, often after a few swings left and right, the defenders can't find the north. As an interior player, Embiid also has a very tough finishing means, excellent physical confrontation, sometimes with a strong resistance to kill a bloody road under the basket of giants, not to mention, he also has a long-range shooting ability, both mid-range strong shooting, but also outside the three-point line to help teammates open up space. Defensively, he has a strong sense of position with his arms outstretched, but any defender who wants to challenge him must be prepared to be hatted. Therefore, the healthy emperor is simply a nearly incomprehensible existence. Embiid is also more mature this season, knowing that without Simmons, he will have to take on more responsibilities, and his organizational ability has improved accordingly, leading the 76ers to gain a foothold in the East.
Simmons and the 76ers have gotten into trouble to this point, as a bystander, it is difficult to evaluate who is right and who is wrong, but the 76ers must be prepared for a whole season without Simmons, and how to play the most effective under the tutelage of Coach Rivers is what fans are most looking forward to!
