On March 5, Beijing time, Philadelphia was perfectly upgraded? Harden's addition has greatly improved the strength of the Philadelphia team, especially since they have already bombed 120+ in five consecutive games, only one less than the first 57 games of the season. Philadelphia's back-to-back challenge to the Top 1 in the East tomorrow is undoubtedly their best chance to continue to close the gap and hit the top spot in the East.
Philadelphia has built a team around the "Double Emperor" in the past few years, although it has been in the Eastern Conference semifinals in 20219 and 2021, but in 2019, it was grabbed by Leonard to grab the seven-point whistle three-point kill, and last season was a upset loss to the Hawks, simmons became one of the important factors in Philadelphia's exit.
Now that Philadelphia has finally "dealt" with Simmons, Harden's addition has allowed Philadelphia to upgrade perfectly, especially the increase in offensive firepower is extremely obvious.
Looking at Philadelphia's offensive firepower in its last 5 games:
Faced the Bucks with 123 points
Faced the Timberwolves with 133 points
Faced the Knicks with 125 points
Faced the Knicks with 123 points
Faced the Cavaliers with 125 points
You know, Philadelphia in the first 57 games of the season, they only bombed 120+ points in 6 games, and now they have played 120+ offensive firepower in 5 consecutive games, which shows how great Harden's offensive power is in Philadelphia's offensive system.
In the four games hardened, Philadelphia maintained a record of all wins, especially helping Maxi to play 20+ games in four consecutive games, setting a career record. Philadelphia's new big three were shining in four consecutive games, 89 points, 87 points, 78 points and 80 points, and the offensive firepower of 83.5 points per game was too fierce.
Philadelphia will challenge the Heat in the East back-to-back on March 6, with the two teams currently in the top two in the East, with one win each of the first two meetings of the season. Once Harden can lead Philadelphia to defeat the Heat, their record will improve to 40 wins and 23 losses, and the Heat will become 42 wins and 23 losses, when Philadelphia will only be one win behind the Heat, and it is undoubtedly expected to counterattack the first place in the East. On the contrary, if Philadelphia loses tomorrow, the gap between the two sides will widen to a 3-win gap, which will undoubtedly be a focus battle.
