On February 26, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and in Harden's Philadelphia debut against the Timberwolves, the entire Philadelphia team played a very good state! They suppressed their opponents in all four quarters of the game, did not give the Timberwolves any chance, and finally defeated the Timberwolves 133:102 and won a big victory!
Harden made a perfect debut in this game, he played 35 minutes, shot 7 of 12 from the field, 5 of 7 from three-point range, got a quasi-triple-double of 27 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists, and only 2 turnovers! Embiid also played 31 minutes, shooting 10 of 18 from the field, and got 34 points and 10 rebounds!
There is a very certain statistic in this game, that is, Harden made 5 of 7 three-pointers in his Philadelphia debut, which is Harden's routine operation! But five three-pointers in this game have tied Ben Simmons' Philadelphia career and the total number of three-pointers in his career, with Simmons shooting a total of 5-of-34 from three-point range so far!
This data also made many spectators can't help but laugh, Harden came to Philadelphia in just one game, he shot 5 three-pointers, and Simmons played a lot of games to shoot 5 three-pointers, the gap between the two outside deterrents can be imagined!
For Philadelphia, this season they are really worth looking forward to, Harden and Embiid in the first combination of the game to cut 61 points, 18 rebounds and 15 assists data, a total of 30 shots 17, shooting 56.7% from the field, 8 of 12 three-pointers, shooting 66.7%, such an inside and outside deterrent is indeed very rare in today's league!
