In today's 76ers home game against the Cavaliers, the 76ers, who trailed by 8 points at halftime, won five consecutive games in the second half with Maxi's super god play. In this game, the 76ers young player Maxi played 37 minutes and 55 seconds, 10 of 15 shots, 6 of 5 of three points, efficient explosive slash 33 points, 4 boards, 5 assists, 2 breaks and 1 cap, of which in the second half he shot 7 of 9 and slashed 24 points, the key chasing stage he personally scored 8 points to help the team to overtake!
According to statistics, Maxi totaled 107 points and 18 assists in the four games after Harden joined, only 4 turnovers, 37 of 57 shots, and 14 of 20 three-pointers. In today's game, Maxi scored 24 points at halftime and 33 points in the whole game, which is one of the heroes of the team's reversal.
In fact, as early as Harden joined Philadelphia, fans are still a little worried that Harden will affect The play of Maxie, but with the gradual deepening of the game, the Philadelphia Big Three has begun to show its glory, Harden averaged 26.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 12 assists and 1.5 steals per game in 4 games, and Maxi got 20+ in four consecutive games, and it is close to 80% of the true shooting rate, as for the emperor Embiid has always been MVP level play. The combination of the big three is very reasonable, Maxi and Harden are double guns in the backcourt, Embiid controls the inside line, to defend and defend, to attack and attack, compared with the previous Nets Big Three, it is not too inferior.
It's no exaggeration to say that Maxi is growing into the third bigest on the 76ers. If it weren't for this farce between Simmons and Philadelphia, perhaps Maxi wouldn't have had the opportunity to express himself at all. Compared to last season, Maxi has improved too much this season, averaging 17.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, whether it is points, assists or rebounds, compared to last season, there is a lot of growth.
After today's game, I was asked in an interview: Have you found yourself a member of the Big Three? Maxi said: "I just play on the field, I try to help the team. I don't think we're looking at what the Big Three, the Big Two, we're a collective. As a collective, as long as we move in the same direction and make continuous progress every day, the sky is our limit.
Maxi was able to play such an excellent performance, harden was indispensable. After Harden joined the team, although Maxi attacked less with the ball, he was given more shooting space and more opportunities to shoot in the empty position. In the game, he can show his scoring talent to the greater extent, after receiving Harden's pass, he can easily complete the score, in the past 4 games, Maxi has been with the help of Harden, easily get high scores.
The value of Maxi could not be clearer than the 76ers. Because of this, in the Harden and Simmons trade, 76 people will explicitly refuse to put Maxi into any transaction. Now Maxi is gradually cashing in on his talents, and with the arrival of Harden, he has more opportunities to shoot, followed by soaring statistics and big contracts.
