After Harden came to Philadelphia, whether it was Harden himself or his teammates in Philadelphia, everyone had made great progress! Harden's personal scoring ability returned to the peak of the Rockets, and his assist ability can drive Embiid and Maxi to have super high scoring efficiency, so that these two people have a lot of open offensive opportunities! It can be said that from the current few games, Harden and Embiid are really a perfect match!
And recently former Philadelphia player Theo Ratliff talked about the embiid and Harden duo on a show. He said in his voice: "Philadelphia has James Harden, one of the smartest players on the field, and the extremely dominant Embiid, whether it's the inside or the outside, you can't defend Embiid. Now put Harden next to Embiid, Harden can easily cut 30 points and 10 assists every night, and you let Harden and Embiid block and dismantle, oh my God, that will be an opponent's nightmare! ”
This passage also shows how incomprehensible the combination of Harden and Embiid is in the eyes of professionals! Indeed, Harden and Embiid playing blocking, there will be too many scoring opportunities, Harden himself can choose to attack, can also pass the ball to Embiid, or pass directly to other teammates on the weak side. After Embiid gets the ball, he can also choose to attack himself, or pass to his teammates who have the opportunity to have a free position, so there are so many offensive options that the opponent has no way but is completely defensive!
For Philadelphia, they only need to ensure the physical fitness of these two people now, so that they do not have too much consumption, try to avoid injury troubles, and once they enter the playoffs, their lineup advantage will be revealed. Harden's personal offensive and passing abilities, as well as Embiid's dominance on the inside, will be a nightmare for all playoff opponents!
At present, Philadelphia has won the second place in the East, and there is a three-win gap with the previous Heat, in fact, there is still a certain opportunity to impact the throne of the first place in the East, so that it can always hold the home advantage before the Finals!
