The NBA regular season continued, and Philadelphia's game against the Cavaliers officially began. After the game started, the Cavaliers played very efficiently on the offensive end, and the defensive end was also very good at limiting Philadelphia's offense. At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led by 13 points. However, since entering the second quarter, Philadelphia has sounded the clarion call to fight back. After two quarters of fighting, Philadelphia recovered 5 points. At the end of the third quarter, Philadelphia was still two points behind. At the end of the fourth quarter, Philadelphia reversed the Cavaliers 124-119.
Objectively speaking, although the Knights lost the game in this game, the resilience shown by the Knights in this game is still worthy of recognition. Especially in the control of details, the knights have done a very good job. Below, take you to see a few sets of data that you will understand. Rebounding: The Cavaliers grabbed 41 rebounds and Philadelphia grabbed 30 rebounds. In terms of assists: The Cavaliers gave 30 assists and Philadelphia only gave 23 assists. The Cavaliers also did well in terms of shooting percentage, with the Cavaliers shooting 53 percent from the field and Philadelphia shooting 54 percent from the field.
I believe that the fans here will surely ask, if the Cavaliers have performed so well, why did they lose the game? In fact, the answer to this question is very simple, that is, because Harden played too well in this game, and it can even be said that Harden played too well in key moments. Harden played 35 minutes in the game, shooting 6-of-10, including 2-of-4 three-pointers and 10-of-11 free throws, with 24 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal, plus-minus +5. Some fans may say that Harden's scoring is not as much as Maximido' and his rebounding is not as much as Embiid's, so why is Harden the key to winning? I just want to say that Harden's role is not something that data can represent.
Fans who have watched the game will know how well Harden played on the court. Harden on the offensive end is never greedy, his first task is to sort out the offense, to attract diversion for Embiid on the inside, for The Outside Maxi to receive a position when there is an empty position, and to be able to control the overall situation in the stalemate stage of the team. Of course, once the team needs Harden to score, then Harden's score is also very incomprehensible, for example, Harden's score at the last moment is undoubtedly the key to determining the trend of the game. Harden is also very active on the defensive end, harden can use his experience and skills to defend when defending the outside line, and harden has the strength to withstand the offensive players when he changes to the inside line. In general, Harden is a locomotive role in Philadelphia, as the saying goes, "the train runs fast or not depends on the headband" and Harden is this locomotive.
After winning the game, Philadelphia's record reached 39-23, just two wins away from the Heat, the first in the East. I believe that under harden's leadership, Philadelphia definitely has the strength to impact the first place in the East. At the end of the game, Embiid smiled and we could tell from his expression how happy he was. What's more worth mentioning is that Harden has won all four games in Philadelphia. I don't know, see here is there anyone who questions Harden's strength, and whether there are fans who question Philadelphia's choice? Seeing the current record, I have to say with emotion that Philadelphia's choice of Harden is really correct, because Harden has the strength and ability to help the team win the championship.
