On March 5, Beijing time, the Philadelphia 76ers' home game against the Cleveland Cavaliers is still in progress.
In the final moments of the first quarter, Harden spent time holding the ball at the top of the arc and ending it with his signature three-point retreat, while Cavaliers center Mobley pounced forward to block it, Harden tilted his feet forward, and then was thrown to the ground by Mobley, the referee blew an offensive foul, which made people a little confused, and the home fans were also booing.
From the perspective of action alone, the reactions of both are somewhat dangerous, Harden is easy to "be" put on the foot, and Mobley may also lose three free throws at the same time and Harden to have a very painful physical collision, and if from the league's new rules belong to the category of "offensive players kicking legs at abnormal angles" that do not blow penalties or blow penalties offensive fouls, the referee also has its own basis, not deliberately aimed at Harden, it is worth mentioning that at the end of the third quarter, Harden used a clean "3 +1" to make up for the mistake of his first quarter.
Well-known journalist Warnerovsky talked about the Lakers' change of coach in an interview today, "I was told that there are two main reasons. First, [Lakers management] took into account the fact that Anthony Davis has missed many games this season. Nunn hasn't played yet, and they think the return of these players could affect the team. Wernarowski said, in addition to saying that the Lakers management does not think that the change of coach at this point in time will not make a significant change.
The lakers management's idea is very reasonable, the Lakers' failure this season is caused by many factors, the team is injured continuously, the lineup has always been unstable, Westbrook and James can not be compatible, playing very uncomfortable Vogel's poor deployment, it is indeed a certain responsibility, but in the lakers' current situation, changing the head coach is indeed not playing an obvious role, can only hope for the comeback of thick eyebrows.
