On March 6, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and in Philadelphia's away challenge to the Heat, Philadelphia's core Harden failed to play due to hamstring injury management. But before the game, he had shooting training, looked good, the probability of this game is just for the sake of safety, and the injury should not be too much of a problem!
In this game, Philadelphia actually played more difficult, after all, they went to the absolute core player like Harden, and it is indeed a disadvantaged side on the court. Embiid can be described as a two-fisted and four-handed opponent, even if Maxi still plays steadily, but after all, the opponent has Butler, Adebayo, Hiro and other outstanding stars!
And there was also an interesting scene in the game, that is, when Embiid was on the sideline, the Heat's Duncan Robinson, Butler and PJ Tucker came forward to pinch Embiid, making it very difficult for Embiid to play! Then the US media Talkin NBA posted the photo, and the text said: "When the other best player on your team is not there, it will be like this." ”
Indeed, without Harden's threat from the outside, Embiid was under great defensive pressure, which also led to his low offensive efficiency in this game, and it seems to be back to the time when there was no Harden at the beginning of the season! Embiid has been very efficient on the court in the four games hardened, and he has previously said that after Harden's arrival, he has won the biggest vacancy of his career!
Judging from the current state, Philadelphia really can't lack Harden, otherwise Embiid alone really can't eat it. Fortunately, Harden's injury is not serious, and the next game may return! This season's Philadelphia, with all its members healthy, is really the team with the best chance of impacting the championship this season!
