After Harden joined the 76ers, the 76ers are now a strong contender for this season's championship. That's largely due to Harden's ability to comb through offense that is second to none, and he makes the team's victory simple. The last Harden failed to play, and the 76ers had no choice but to end the winning streak, and the importance is self-evident.
Today against the strong enemy Bulls in the East, the 76ers did not give any face. Under Embiid's strong performance, the 76ers successfully defeated the Bulls 121-106 to retract the victory. The Bulls' interior was blown up by Embiid alone, and the reputation of the league's top center is not covered.
Embiid played 37 minutes, 15 of 27 shooting, 43 points, 14 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks, showing great dominance; Harden had 16 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists on 5-of-15 shooting; Maxi scored 17 points and 4 assists on 6-of-13 shooting, and the "Ma Daha" combination contributed 76 points, 23 rebounds and 20 assists.
In this battle, Embiid has increased the number of consecutive wins against the Bulls to 11, and so far in his career, Embiid has won 11 wins and 0 losses against the Bulls, which can be said to be the Bulls nemesis. Jokic just shot a 40+ triple-double yesterday, and today Embiid responded with a 40+ double-double, and the battle for the league's first center is getting more and more intense.
After Harden came to the 76ers, the 76ers really won the qualitative change. Harden does not hinder Embiid's play, and the chemistry between the two is very good at present. Even against strong teams, Harden can play with ease. This is something that the previous 76ers did not have.
For the 76ers, dumping Simmons, who has no shooting ability, harvested an upgraded version of Curry Jr., the deal with the Nets can be said to be a big profit, the current 76ers already have the prototype of the championship, and time will prove everything.
