This game, perhaps no one can expect, actually ended in such an ending. The Philadelphia 76ers didn't even have the attitude of struggling, and they lost to the Nets by 29 points, and the two teams met this season, and the Nets swept the opponent with a record of total victory. At the same time, Harden also ushered in his first defeat after joining Philadelphia. In the whole game, Harden scored 11 points against the old master, shooting 3 of 17 from the field, the lowest plus-minus -30 in the game, Harden's performance became the object of controversy, and this time the hat of the pseudo-giant was buckled.
It is worth mentioning that in this game, the Nets side opened widely, and all the players worked hard, not so much a victory as a team victory. Facing the Philadelphia 76ers, who are second in the East, the Nets gave the Philadelphia 76ers a dismount as soon as they came up. In the first quarter, under the leadership of Durant and Irving, the Nets once took a 17-point lead, and Durant and Irving combined to score 22 points in the first quarter. As for Harden, he scored three points on just 1-of-6 shooting in the first quarter, and the only bright spot was hitting a three-pointer to complete the overtaking of Reggie Miller, and there were no other highlights.
So this game entered garbage time early, and finally the Nets beat the Philadelphia 76ers with 29 points, I believe that after passing this game, the fans believed a few words, the first "big heat must die", the second "Harden is really weak at the critical moment". Indeed, the Philadelphia 76ers now have a roster depth that rivals that of the Nets; before the game everyone was bullish on the Philadelphia 76ers winning, especially through the performances of the OK pair in recent games, no one thought they would have such a big gap.
But the truth is that when Durant and Irving are on the court, they form an unsolvable containment point on the offensive end, and once Philadelphia has a contraction defense, or a pack, the small Curry on the outside line and Drummond on the inside will get the chance to finish, which is the simplest and most effective tactic. Finally, looking at the faces of the two teams, I saw that Harden and Embiid had sluggish expressions on the court, and there was no idea of communication, perhaps these two did not expect that the gap between the two teams was so large. As for Durant, he sat off the court and laughed, while Simmons, although not yet out of the game, sat with Drummond and Curry Jr. and laughed happily, which was a battle of proof and made the Philadelphia 76ers re-examine their abilities.
