Beijing time on March 3, 76ers sat in their home wells Fargo center, ushered in a showdown with the Knicks, in fact, the two sides had a duel in the last game in Madison Garden, when the 76ers took the opponent lightly with 125-109, and this time came to their home stadium, the 76ers were some light enemies, in the first quarter to dig a pit behind by 8 points, the most backward was once to 16 points, I thought the Knicks would usher in a "counterattack" in this game, successful revenge, However, the powerful 76ers still buried the Knicks' hopes of winning, playing a 68-46 shockwave in the second half, and finally reversed the Knicks 123-108, achieving a wave of 4 consecutive wins in the recent past.
In the face of the Knicks' "anti-guest", the 76ers sitting on their home field did not fear it, after all, this time they ushered in Harden, the MVP-level superstar, plus Embiid also has absolute dominance, plus Maxi has also played well in recent games, and finally the 76ers in the "Big Three" jointly cut 78 points, but also in their own home for the fans to provide a hearty "reversal of good play". In this game, Harden continued to maintain a stable play, in the opening 35 minutes of playing time, 13 shots 8 of 13 shots to get 26 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists of the quasi-triple-double, in the offensive end to maintain a stable output at the same time, a top passing ability also successfully activated the teammates around them, so that 76 people in these games, play very easily.
In this way, Harden averaged 25 points and 10 assists per game in the first 3 games of joining the 76ers, and in the first 3 games for the Nets, Harden also achieved this achievement, the last player who could play for the new owner in the first 3 games, averaging 25 points and 10 assists per game, back to Iverson, who wore the Nuggets shirt in 2006. Unlike his previous performances in the Nets, which struggled slightly, after coming to the 76ers this time, Harden seems to have regained the top dominance of the game during the Rockets era.
During the period when the Rockets were playing, the rocket fans were most impressed that no matter how much the team fell behind, they did not have to be afraid, because Harden had the hope of winning in the team, and it was Harden who was able to make the rocket a regular visitor to the playoffs in those seasons. Unfortunately, the shattered dreams again and again also disappointed Harden with the Rockets, and finally forced the Rockets to trade him to the Nets last season.
After joining the Nets, although there are Irving, Durant these two super giants, but trapped by injury factors, the Nets are proud of the big three combined games not even 20 games, but also because Durant occupies the absolute core of the team, so that Harden, who has been accustomed to a goal in hand, is not adapted to the team's tactical system, it is true that harden can still deliver 22.5 points, 8 rebounds and 10.2 assists in the 44 games played for the Nets this season, but 41.4% of the shooting rate and 33.2% of the shooting rate and 33.2% The three-point shooting percentage is well below the career average.
However, this time to the 76ers, a team that lacks a backcourt core, Harden can finally return to the influence of the absolute ball in the Rockets era, and now there is a huge call between the two embiids, and we also have reason to believe that the 76ers can attack the Finals this season.
