After the previous game's fiasco to the Heat, the 76ers seemed to suffer from Harden dependence, the team's offense was very unsmooth in Harden's absence, MVP hit Embiid was even worse, and even many people thought he did not deserve the honor of MVP, and this game faced another powerful team in the East, the Bulls, the 76ers finally ushered in Harden's comeback, the team also immediately underwent earth-shaking changes, under the 76ers' tidal attack, the Bulls did not have much strength, The 76ers also scored a 15-point win.
Embiid, who performed crotch-pulling in the last game, broke out immediately after Harden's return, and in this game he blasted down the terrifying data of 43 points, 14 rebounds, 2 steals and 3 blocks, and the MVP competition with Jokic was white-hot again, this game was Embiid's 10th 40+10 this season, becoming the first player after Harden to get at least 10 40+10 in a single season, and he also responded to Jokic's 40+ triple-double stats yesterday with his actual performance.
Harden's performance is not as amazing as the first three games, he feels average in this game, the shooting rate is only 30%, and the three-point line is only 5 of 1, but Harden has sent as many as 14 assists, under his organization Embiid completely exploded, Maxi also returned to efficiency, the fourth quarter of the game scored 13 points, sweeping away the haze of the last game, in Harden's side, Maxi is becoming one of the best scorers in the league.
This season Harden has not been stable enough on the offensive end, but his organizational ability has been excellent, and in the Nets, because of tactical arrangements and personnel allocation, Harden's organizational ability can not be fully played, the shortcomings of the offensive end have been infinitely magnified, and when the 76ers, when Harden has an inside superstar teammate like Embiid, the team has given him absolute dominance, and the young players around him are tactically running around Harden, and Harden's real role can be maximized.
In Harden's games this season, the 76ers won all five games, the 121 points in this game was actually the lowest total score in five games, the 76ers showed a terrifying offensive ability, and in these five games, Ha could get 24.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 12.4 assists, shooting 53%, 45% and 89% of the three shots, the overall efficiency was much higher than in the Nets, and after hitting the only three-pointer in this game, Harden's three-point total also tied Reggie Miller , rising to the third place in history, it should not be a problem to come to the second place in history before retiring.
When Harden played the 76ers, the Nets were still mired in the quagmire, after losing the last game, they had fallen out of the top eight in the East, and this Friday Beijing time, the two teams will directly compete, this is a long-awaited game for fans, Harden and the Nets, Irving and Durant between the feud, will surely bring us more stories in the game.
The Nets also received good news, although Simmons could not make a comeback in the game against Philadelphia, but chose to return to the team in this game, it seems that Simmons, who has always been rumored to have problems in his heart, will break the psychological barrier by facing his old club, and the Nets hope that after playing the 76ers game on Friday, Simmons can be ready to train with the team, and then increase the amount of training until the comeback, which marks that the fully fully bodied Nets are not far away.
