Beijing time, March 8, today, the 76 and the Bulls strong dialogue came to an end, this game, the Bulls side, Vulcan and Caruso can not play, the 76ers side, Harden after a truce, so in terms of strength, the 76ers are stronger than the Bulls. After Harden's return, the 76ers' organization and offense were much smoother, the whole team played very methodically, attracted by Harden's strong offensive firepower, embiid played well on the inside, and finally he played 36 minutes, 15 of 27, bombed 43 points and 14 rebounds, leading the team to a 121-106 victory over the Bulls.
Harden did not disappoint, the beard of this game only hit 5 goals in 15 shots, there are certain flaws in the shooting rate, and there were 3 mistakes, but fans who have watched the game know that Harden's performance throughout the game is very prominent, he took 16 points, 8 rebounds and 14 assists of the quasi-triple-double data, but also ushered in a number of milestones, including three-point shooting equal Reggie Miller, ranking third in history. Embiid played more dominant, however, after the game, bulls coach Donovan did not praise him, but praised Harden by name.
After the game, Donovan said Harden was an incredible scorer and a player who put the ball first, and he played selflessly, which was the key to the 76ers' victory. Donovan was right, in the game against the Cavaliers, Embiid in the fourth quarter due to a long period of time did not receive the ball, a black face, Harden saw this last quarter to give him two consecutive passes, Embiid scored 4 points in a row, to help the team win, in that game, Embiid contributed 22 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, Harden scored 25 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Maxi 33 + 4 + 5, but obviously, Embiid's light was overshadowed by the latter two.
Harden's observation of the court is delicate, after knowing that Embiid has ideas in mind, Harden in this campaign will concentrate on doing a good job of organizational work, feeding Embiid the ball, Embiid is happy, the team wins, in addition, Harden's data is not bad, it can be described as killing three birds with one stone. Harden, who has a high ball quotient, a high IQ and a higher emotional intelligence, was thoroughly impressed by Embiid's performance, and after the game he talked about the new partner, Harden said: "I've never seen such a good center, it's too simple to play with him, he's a Hall of Fame level player. ”
Although these words were only 29 words short, they expressed the feelings in his heart. He may have thought the same thing about Durant, but at the Nets, Harden wasn't happy because of Nash and Irving's presence. After coming to the 76ers, Rivers was much better at hiring than Nash, and all the players on the team were focused on defense, which was completely different from the Nets. A few days ago, Embiid praised Harden, this time Harden repaid the favor, Harden is too satisfied with Embiid, if it is Irving, Harden may not say such a thing. Congratulations to Harden, the right person, congratulations to Embiid, found the best partner to compete for the championship.
