The Philadelphia 76ers, who played the best record in the East last season, were finally eliminated by the Dark Horse Eagles in the playoffs because of the huge shortcomings of core guard Ben Simmons, and on the trade deadline of the new season, the 76ers upgraded the backcourt as they wished, and the more comprehensive James Harden came to the team and the emperor formed a dual-core system of one inside and one outside, which also made the 76ers the biggest favorite for the championship! In the last battle with the Heat in the Eastern Conference, Harden's rotation let Embiid fall into a state of difficulty, the 76ers also stopped winning streak, and in this regular season, the 76ers encountered a fierce opponent, that is, the Chicago Bulls, which is regarded as the strongest dark horse of the season, harden who returned from this campaign is not in the best competitive state, the personal offensive efficiency is not high, but the emperor's super internal dominance allows him to enjoy the treatment of lying and winning, and the fourth quarter of the war, The 76ers beat the Bulls 121-106, giving their opponents five consecutive defeats in the season and completing a single-season sweep of the Bulls!
The Bulls can soar this season, DeRozan is indispensable, before the previous consecutive shooting rate of more than 50% to cut more than 35 points, but also made it become the MVP favorite in the eyes of many fans, in this game with the 76ers, DeRozan is still the team's best performer, but under the opponent's focus restrictions, DeRozan's personal offensive efficiency is not very high, in the 39.2 minutes of his appearance, 17 shots hit 6 goals, contributed 23 points, Comprehensive stats for 11 rebounds and 8 assists.
The performance of another core Lavine in this campaign is also decent, with the Chicago Curry known as the dunk king, in this game, 6 shots from outside the three-point line, also contributed 26 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, but in addition to the two of them, the Bulls only 3 players scored in double figures, the team did not play an advantage, the star dominance is not as good as the opponent, is the root cause of the Bulls' loss.
In fact, the Philadelphia 76ers in this game are not in their best state, before the performance of the brave Maxi, the first three quarters of this game feel cold, fortunately in the last quarter of the state recovered, the whole game cut 17 points, and Harden although contributed 16 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists quasi-triple-double data Harden, personal efficiency is not high, 15 shots only hit 5 goals.
However, they also have embiid, the first center of the East, because the main center of the Bulls, Vucevic, hangs a free card, so that no one in the inner line can limit Embiid in a one-on-one situation, and Harden's presence also makes the opponent dare not brazenly pack the emperor on the court, which also creates a very good output environment for Embiid, the whole game Embiid played 36.2 minutes, 27 shots hit 15 goals, bombed 43 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, The double-double stats of 2 steals and 3 blocks are also the reasons why fans joked after the game that the emperor took Harden to lie down and win.
In the absence of Harden in the last game, the 76ers can still rely on the play of the emperor and the Heat to fight until the last moment, and this game easily defeated the strongest dark horse bulls, it can be said that the 76ers have revealed their championship appearance, I believe that with Harden better integrated into the team system, they will become the biggest favorite of this season's Eastern Conference champions, and even the championship!
