On February 18, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. The Philadelphia 76ers beat the Bucks and beat potential playoff opponents. Although Harden has not yet appeared, Embiid the Emperor is enough to let the Bucks drink a pot.
After beating the Bucks, the 76ers' record reached 35-23, ranking third in the East, just 2.5 wins away from the Heat, who are number one in the East. After the All-Star Game, Harden and the Emperor are united, and the 76ers' combat effectiveness will reach its peak. Ben Simmons couldn't play in the first place, they just lost Curry Jr. and Drummond Jr. to get superstar Harden, and the deal didn't lose. Did you earn it? The test of the game is also needed.
It's All-Star Weekend, where players can get plenty of time off. Harden can also use this time to get his hamstrings repaired and return to the game in the best condition. 3rd in the East! Harden named one, the 76ers started 5 Tigers or OK, barkley looked down on the new OK combination.
Harden named one
Although Harden is watching from the sidelines, he is still directing the game and influencing his teammates. According to 76ers forward Niang, in the game, he rushed into the inside line at the beginning of the game, but the ball was lost. Then Harden yelled at me: Go shoot 10 three-pointers, that's what you're going to do. The result? Niang played 39 minutes in the game, shooting 6-of-12, 5-of-10 from three-point range and 1-of-2 from the free throw line, with 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.
For the players named by Harden, it will certainly benefit a lot. Niang, 2m 01, plays as a big forward in the 76ers, and has averaged this season: 9.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists, shooting 39.7% from three-point range. Next, Harden organizes the offense, he will inevitably get a lot of opportunities for empty 3-pointers, and personal data will also rise. To use a common saying: Play with Harden and you will definitely get a big contract.
The 76ers started with 5 Tigers or OK
Since the Seth Curry trade, the Philadelphia 76ers' starting 5 Tigers are: Maxi, Sable, Harris, Niang, Embiid. If Harden officially returns, then Maxi's place will be replaced. Sable is an excellent defensive player on the outside, Harris and Niang are excellent in their three-point range, and the defense is above the middle level, and Embiid is the core of the interior. So, the regular starting lineup is: Harden, Sable, Harris, Niang, Embiid.
Maxi, Cockmaz, Milton, Danny Green and Millsap will be the main rotations on the bench. In this way, the 76ers' starting and substitute lineups are balanced.
Barkley looks down on the new OK combination
The combination of Harden and Embiid was hailed by the US media as a "contemporary OK combination", but the well-known commentator Barkley looked down on the pair and thought it would be difficult for them to succeed. Barkley said: "The combination of Harden and Embiid is complicated to say. Harden has always had his own style of play, and he is extremely good in one-on-one singles. And Embiid is probably the most dominant player in the active squad, a bit like O'Neal, who is incredible. ”
However, it is difficult for them to find a way to play together, and they cannot win the championship by imagination alone. There will only be one ball on the pitch, but neither of them can play without the ball. There are many more such remarks, and only when Harden and Embiid find a tacit understanding and lead the team to play a record, it may make the doubts disappear.
