Yesterday, the Philadelphia 76ers won 123-108 at home to the Knicks, but this game is also Harden's first home appearance since joining Philadelphia, and also ushered in a three-game winning streak of the digital team's career. Now there is less and less discussion about which side of the Nets' deal with the 76ers is more profitable, but suddenly a question arises, that is, who is happiest for Harden to join the digital team? And the outside world thinks that the happiest should be Maxi.
When the official announcement of Harden's joining the team was just announced, Maxi was already overjoyed, not only repeatedly praising Harden in the face of the media, but also saying that he had been a small fan of Harden since childhood.
However, in the three games with Harden, Maxi scored 28 points, 21 points, and 25 points respectively, averaging nearly 25 points per game, you know, when Harden did not join, Maxi averaged only about 18 points per game this season, and in these 3 games, Maxi played very efficiently. However, there is a big reason here that when Harden did not join the 76ers, Maxi not only had to take on the heavy responsibility of scoring, but also had to take on the task of organizing, so it was difficult for Maxie to be perfect in both aspects, and now Harden's arrival can be said to liberate Maxi.
There is also that after Harden joined the team, naturally other teams also focused on the defense of Harden and Embiid, so that Maxi not only put aside the shackles of needing to organize, but also faced a lot less pressure on the court, even Maxie himself said so, Harden when he was on the court, he only needed to be responsible for scoring, and the team coach Rivers also said that Maxi was very comfortable playing on Harden's side, and even some fans thought that Maxi would play with Harden in the future. Embiid made up the team's Big Three.
The 21-year-old Maxi is an immeasurable future, and the 32-year-old Harden has been a veteran for many years, and in the future, Maxi will be in daily training with Harden for a long time, so that Maxi must have learned more experience and skills from Harden, but in the battle against the Knicks, Maxi also used a Harden's signature retreat step, and the 76ers officially approved the beard on Maxi's photo after the game.
Maxi not only has high talent, but also has high ball intelligence and emotional intelligence, it seems that Maxi has long expected that after Harden joins the 76ers, he will have better play and bright data, and the facts have proved that It is unreasonable for Maxie to be very happy that Harden joined. As for the status of the team, Maxi, as a young player, has always put his posture very low, and it is very important to learn experience and skills from his predecessors at the moment, and play his own value.
