On March 8, Beijing time, the 76ers defeated the Bulls 121:106 at their home court. This game is hardened after joining the 76ers to play the fifth game, these games the 76ers all won the opponent, and in the last game, in fact, someone lost to the Heat because Harden was off the rotation, no way, the team has no organizational core.
As the best two-legged defender in NBA history, Harden has really injected a lot of energy into the 76ers, although the current Harden scoring ability may not be as good as Harden in the Rockets, but his organizational level is pure and fresh, and it is even higher! After joining the 76ers, Harden played in five games, and the 76ers' scores all exceeded 120 points.
On February 26, the Timberwolves scored 133 points,
On February 28, the Knicks scored 125 points,
On March 3, the Knicks scored 123 points,
March 5 hit the Cavaliers scored 125 points,
On March 8, the Bulls scored 121 points.
Purely from the situation of Harden leading the team, harden's ability to lead the team this season has far exceeded the average score of the 76ers this season, and it should be known that before Harden joined, the average score of the 76ers was only 106 points! A Harden addition can improve the average score of the entire team by 14 points, so you can imagine how horrible it is. In this game, Harden played 30 minutes, although Harden's shooting in this game is indeed very inaccurate, but he still contributed to the quasi-triple-double data, 16 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists, but the shooting percentage was slightly flawed, only 33%. His plus-minus on the pitch is +12.
76ers head coach Rivers saw Harden so freely on the court to control the team's offense, he also said after the end of the game that Harden's organizational ability is indeed unique in NBA history, we can look at this game 76ers scoring points is actually very even, from the scoring point points, Maxi 17 points, Sebel 14 points, Niang 14 points, Harden 16 points, Embiid 43 points. Harden alone can attract bulls to his double bag clip, allowing other teammates to get more shots.
After the 76ers won the Bulls, American netizens were puzzled, they still can't figure out why the Nets will choose to use Harden to trade Simmons, if this transaction is not completed, the 76ers' record will certainly not be as good as it is now, and the Nets will not suffer a wave of four consecutive losses. The Nets now have a record of 32 wins and 33 losses, below 50% of the winning percentage, and are only ninth in the East. It is important to know which team Harden can lead them to good results, and the 76ers lack such a core guard. When the Nets chose to close the deal with the 76ers, they were giving up their championship chances.
The questions of American netizens may also be the questions of Chinese fans. But it's really hard to say that the team traded this kind of thing, especially since the Nets have suffered an injury wave this season, and the Europeans don't get vaccinated, and Durant's own personality is so good that the Nets have had a lot of bad situations this season. Even the Nets' reporters are very disappointed with the nets' current situation, and Harden's departure may really be the right choice. But since the Nets have decided to make this deal, then don't regret it, Nets fans should blame the management, blame the coaching staff, blame some players on the team, they did not seize the opportunity, no one else.
