Experts wonder why Harden is eager to join forces with Embiid: they don't match the ball style, forget to cooperate with warcraft and fail?

There is more and more news about James Harden's possible sending to the 76ers, and "The Athletic" expert Hollinger has also revealed that he has long heard that Harden will try to go to the 76ers to join joel Embiid through the trade deadline. However, "Open Air Stand" expert Duckhill wrote that he did not look good at the prospect of Harden and Embiid joining forces because the two did not match.

Harden is one of the best players in the league today to block and pass offense, and on the surface he and Embiid are unstoppable. Harden is a former MVP and Embiid is the MVP favourite this season, and the two can score as much as they want.

But in fact, Harden and Embiid have too many problems in blocking and dismantling, and the conflict between their customary playing styles makes it difficult for the two to form a joint force.

The first is Harden, who has multiple threats after blocking, can score and pass the ball himself, and when he passes the ball, he is good at creating opportunities for players and shooters down the road. Over the years, Harden has been most successful in working with Clint Capela and Clarkston, who like to block down the ball and attack the basket.

Kernbid is not this type, he has not played a high proportion of blocks this season, and when he participates in the blocking as a cover, he only has 21% of the weight to choose to block and dismantle. In other words, Embiid is more accustomed to cutting outside the mid-range or three-point line after covering, or receiving a pass to play with Seth Curry and Maxi again in the high position.

Of course, if Harden and Embiid are partnered, the proportion of Embiid's blocking and demolition may increase, but the habit cannot be changed in a short time, and the blocking and dismantling between the two may not be so smooth.

In terms of style, Harden and Embiid both like to hold the ball in their hands, thinking that Harden and Dwight Howard were paired, Howard did not like to participate in the blocking, he preferred to ask for the ball in the low position, and the result was that the cooperation between the two was not happy. Embiid is no less hungry for the ball in the low post than Howard, and he is indeed a more efficient low attacker than Howard, scoring 1.08 points per round. But what about Harden, who is not good at playing without the ball when Embiid holds the ball low?

Also consider defense, Harden does have a hand under the basket of the top of the body of the strong players, but he is never an excellent outside defender, he is like Wei Shao used to watch the ball and do not look at people, leakage is commonplace, so the team he plays for will often perform unlimited changes.

But the 76ers' defensive style is Embiid's down-to-basket contraction defense and priority protection of the basket, a more traditional defensive strategy that has higher requirements for the defensive ability of outside players. If the 76ers get Harden without sacrificing Sebel, it's okay, and if the 76ers give up on Sable, their outside defense will be in big trouble.
