At the NBA trade deadline this season, the most concerned deal is that the Philadelphia 76ers have exchanged Harden from the Brooklyn Nets, so that he and embiid, the recognized first center of the East, form a dual-core system of one inside and one outside, and their duo has also made the 76ers the most optimistic title favorite, but in the history of the NBA, there have been too many combinations that look very powerful, but they have not reached the expected height, so whether the emperor and Harden can become the cornerstones of the 76ers' championship , but also need to be tested in actual combat.
After the end of the All-Star Game, Harden will also stage his debut after joining Philadelphia in the 76ers' away game against the Timberwolves, and whether the new dual core can lead the team to defeat the Timberwolves with the three giants of Towns, Russell and Edwards has become the most concerned topic for fans! The two teams have already had a direct encounter this season, when the Timberwolves narrowly won by 1 point, so this game is also a revenge battle for the 76ers, it can be said that Harden's joining will make the strength of the 76ers have a qualitative improvement, plus this battle The Timberwolves are back-to-back combat, so I am more optimistic about the 76ers winning under the leadership of the dual core!
It is undeniable that this season's NBA Eastern Conference competition has become extremely fierce, with the strength of the championship, there are bucks, nets, bulls, Heat and 76ers five teams, in this case, the 76ers can be Ben Simmons for a long time, the emperor Embiid single core led the team, still play a temporary third in the Eastern Conference standings, enough to prove that their lineup still has a strong combat effectiveness.
And in the last direct conversation between the two sides, the 76ers only lost by 1 point, and now with the addition of Harden, the team has an absolute strength point on the offensive end, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce embiid's offensive pressure, and will also make the Timberwolves dare not recklessly recycle the inside line to pack Embiid, which will also give Embiid a greater probability of playing dominant personal data.
And in the trade between the 76ers and the Nets, they also left Maxi with good personal offensive ability, as well as the defensive tip Sai Boole, I believe that in this game, Sebre can lock one of Russell and Edwards, and Harden and Maxi's backcourt double gun combination, offensive firepower can also completely suppress the opponent.
In addition, this game for the 76ers who play away, there is also good news, that is, this game timberwolves are back-to-back combat, they will play against the Grizzlies who have performed well this season in the last game day, I believe that the team led by Morant can cause a lot of wear and tear to the Timberwolves, so that the 76ers have a greater physical advantage in the game.
This game for the 76ers, the only disadvantage is the degree of tacit understanding of the team, after Harden joined the team, it will definitely become the absolute technical and tactical core, as well as the initiation point of the overall offense, which will also make other players need a certain amount of time to have a chemical reaction with Harden, but the adjustment period of the All-Star Game also gives the 76ers time and opportunity to run in training, on the whole, Harden's debut is likely to taste the taste of victory!
