On February 23, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued. For the Philadelphia 76ers, they have good news, James Harden is about to make his season debut, teaming up with the Emperor to challenge the Timberwolves. Earlier, TNT reporters revealed that the 76ers management hired an expert for Harden's hamstring injury to monitor and treat the whole process 24 hours a day. Therefore, the Nets' relevant people think that Harden is a fraud, which is unfounded.
Since the decision to make a comeback, it also means that Harden's hamstring has fully recovered. In the past 2 years, the problem of hamstring has been torturing Harden, making him lose his explosive power and his state is also up and down. Coming to the Philadelphia 76ers, can the beard regain its peak form? This is also the key point that determines whether a team can win the championship. Official! Harden made his debut + signed a new center, the Emperor blamed Simmons, and the Devils tested the 76ers on the schedule.
Harden debut + signed new center
Just today, NBCS Philadelphia reporter John Clark learned from the 76ers management that Harden will make his debut against the Timberwolves on February 26 (this Saturday) Beijing time. Subsequently, this news was also officially confirmed. The new "OK combination" formed by Harden + the Emperor is finally going to debut. During this year's All-Star Game, many star celebrities believe that this is a combination worth looking forward to, such as Garnett and O'Neal, who believe that they can compete with the OK combination of that year, and support them. However, Pierce, Barkley and Perkins believe that they all need the ball, it is difficult to reconcile, and the possibility of failure is very high.
In addition to Harden's debut, there is good news. According to NBCS Philadelphia reporter John Clark, sources revealed that the 76ers plan to sign a 10-day contract with free agent Cauley Stein. With Chuang's departure, the Emperor needs a substitute center, and Cowley-Stein is a good rebounder and penalty area defender.
The Emperor complained to Simmons
Harden's arrival made the emperor ecstatic. Just today, he said in an interview: Harden is one of the best scorers in history, his organizational skills are unparalleled, we already have a good system, and when we join James [Harden], we will go to another level.
However, the reporter still did not forget to mention the past for Simmons. At this time, the emperor still revealed his dissatisfaction and said: I have done my best to make him return, trying to make him comfortable, but without success. A week before the deal, we had a conversation hoping he would succeed in Brooklyn. For this paragraph, some fans think that Embiid is a hypocritical person, saying scene words. However, since both people have become estranged, separation is indeed the best solution.
Finally, the Emperor added: Separation is difficult, but now it doesn't matter, we need to look ahead, we need to continue to pursue the championship.
The Devils fixtures tested the 76ers
Hope is always beautiful, but reality is very cruel. After Harden's comeback, the first game against the Timberwolves, the difficulty is not small. New three-point kings Towns, Russell, Edwards, this group of mini big three is not weak, and they are in the key moment of the competition for a playoff spot. Next up are two games for the Knicks, which is also a team that is fully committed to the playoff spot. In the next is the Devils schedule, cavaliers (4th in the East), Heat (1st in the East), Bulls (2nd in the East), Nets (8th in the East), this wave of schedules began to test the new OK combination, whether the 76ers have the strength to compete for the championship, and these powerful teams will know one or two.
Of course, the newly formed team will always have a run-in period and a period of pain. As long as you remain patient in the process, slowly find the most suitable lineup, and cultivate a good chemistry, the 76ers are fully capable of competing for the championship.
