Recently, there has been continuous news about Harden's trade to leave, of which the biggest rumor is that the 76ers, and even the news that the two teams have communicated about the transaction. Such news is obviously not empty, in the game against the Green Army, Harden did not play, soon the trade deadline will come, whether Harden will leave, soon will be able to know. Interestingly, the Nets and the 76ers are playing at the same time, and when the Nets play against the Green Army, the 76ers are also playing against the Suns. Although both were lost, the two teams played differently, the Nets were 35 points and the 76ers were the first in the league.
The Suns are now ranked first in the league, not so easy to play, but have the strength to win the championship. But the 76ers played well, even being able to hold the Suns in the first three quarters, leading by 14 points at one point in the third quarter. It's just that the Suns' lineup has more depth, the 76ers lack a Simmons, and Milton did not play, the Suns are the main force, the depth is not as good as the opponent. Embiid performed well, with 34 points and 12 boards, and this game has done his best to blow up the Suns' interior line. Ayton was blown up by Embiid this time, only 10 points and 6 boards, the gap is clear at a glance.
Embiid, if you continue to play like this, Harden will join! Embiid is undoubtedly the first center in the East this season, and he has improved a lot compared to the past. After playing this game, Embiid averaged 29.4 points, 10.9 boards, 4.4 assists per game, and 1.45 blocks. In the last game against the Bulls, Embiid also scored 40 points and 10 boards, and beat the Bulls. Embiid has now scored 30+ in several games, and has performed on 50 points and 12 boards in a single game. There is no doubt that Embiid is the number one center in the East, and only Jokic can compete with him in the West.
Seeing embiid playing so well, the fans also teased: "Emperor: Harden, you come here!" "Embarrassingly, the Nets are losing miserably. The Nets are facing the Green Army, which has not played well this season and is not easy to return to the top eight in the East. As a result, the Nets were beaten in the first quarter, and finally lost by 35 points. Although the Nets are missing the Big Three, it is too bad to lose so much! And after the Nets lost this game, they also got nine consecutive losses. Now the 76ers are impacting the first place in the East, but the Nets are impacting the bottom number one, and the gap between the two teams' recent records is too big.
Don't say that the Nets have injuries, you know that Simmons has not played a game this season, Irving has at least played. Previously, Irving and Harden were able to play and lose differently. Imagine if the 76ers had one more Simmons or Harden now. Really able to impact the championship. A defeat league first, a 35-point fiasco, Harden no matter how stupid he is, he knows how to choose. Now the Nets are harder to stay in Harden, and the team's record is so bad that it's really disappointing. Speaking of the big three in the group, as a result, Durant was injured, Irving could only play on the road, and even Harden himself began to have injuries, and it was normal to want to leave.
For Harden, this season is actually very critical, first of all, he needs to renew his contract, and how he plays will affect his contract renewal. Secondly, Harden is not a lot older, can not lead the team as high-intensity as before, in the Nets often have to lead their own single core team, resulting in an increase in injuries now, the end of his career may not be very good, and the peak period left for Harden is not much, and if he does not win the championship, he will miss it. In any case, the trade deadline will soon come, and it will depend on whether the Nets can finally negotiate, even if Harden can be retained this season, if he does not win the championship, next season will be difficult.
