In the face of the Challenge of the Bulls, Harden returned, Embiid scored a game-high 43 points to help the team win the opponent, solidifying his second place in the East, the team won, everyone was very happy, hardened after joining the 76ers maintained a record of total wins, everyone knew that Harden brought significant improvement to this team, whether it was Embiid or Maxi all became the biggest beneficiaries, but Xiao Feng talked to you about the shortcomings of the 76ers today, their goal is the championship, It is necessary to strive for excellence, and there is no room for error. So what are the 76ers' shortcomings?
First of all, Embiid did not put himself in the right position, although the 76ers won, Embiid also got the highest 43 points in the game, from the data point of view, Embiid ruled the game, but Embiid's attitude towards the game is indeed undesirable, today can clearly feel Embiid's strong offensive desire, a long time on the outside waiting for the ball, and even hold the ball through half, from many aspects to show Embiid's super offensive desire, although this embiid can help the team win, But his style of play has greatly weakened Harden's value, the Bulls side Vucevic is absent, Thompson and Bradley can't block Embiid's attack, but if you encounter a stronger inside line, like in the last game, what if you pack Embiid? Although the ending was good, Embiid's style of play hurt the team as a whole to a large extent.
Then Harden needs to put himself in the right position, Harden did not have too many bright performances in this game today, the only thing that can be said is 14 assists, perhaps because of the poor feel, Harden did not pose too much of a threat on the offensive end, in fact, from the perspective of the whole game, we can see harden trying to adapt to Embiid, Harden not only has to take care of Embiid's feelings, but also takes into account the overall attack of the team, although Embiid won the data and the game, But Feng feels that Harden is the key core of the team. Especially when Embiid is resting, it is obvious that Harden is playing more freely, of course, we can also understand that this is Harden has just joined the 76ers, do not want to put themselves on the cusp of the storm, but Xiao Feng feels that the 76ers want to go further in the playoffs, they must give Harden more opportunities, determine Harden's core position, Harden himself has such ability, Although Embiid is very strong, but compared with Harden is still almost meaningless.
In fact, we should also understand Embiid, as the biggest contender of MVP and scoring king, Embiid of course hopes to play beautiful data, but with Harden joining, Embiid must correct his attitude, fish and bear paw can not be combined, how big the ceiling of the 76ers is, it all depends on Embiid's attitude to the game.
The last is to strengthen the strength of the inner line, Jordan Jr. joined is the 76ers to change their first step, but this is far from enough, this season the 76ers average only 42.1 rebounds per game, ranking first in the league, three-point shots 31.2 times ranked 28th in the league, in fact, all this reason stems from the lack of internal strength, Embiid has a natural advantage, he must take on more responsibilities in the interior, the outside line has Harden, Maxi and other existence is enough, If you want to go further, you must make up for your own deficiencies, Embiid will hold on the inside line for a while, not only for Harden, in fact, it will be of great benefit to everyone, Jordan Jr. will not be a long-term solution, and want to improve can only let Embiid change himself.
Although the 76ers have a good record now, but they want to impact the championship need more people to make sacrifices, Harden has recognized the reality, is slowly changing himself, but this is far from enough, then it depends on how Embiid has changed, anyway, if you insist on this style of play, the 76ers are doomed to go far in the playoffs.
Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
