On March 11, Beijing time, unlike in the past, the NBA only had two games today, but these two games have attracted the attention of fans: one is Harden's battle against the old home nets, and the other is the Nuggets led by Jokic, who has been in poor form recently. However, this Nets and the 76ers' "strong showdown" is beyond everyone's expectations.
Needless to say, the feud between Simmons and the 76ers has been planted since last offseason; Harden is not happy with the Nets, and he won after going to the 76ers, as if to tell Nets fans that joining the 76ers is the right decision. Although Simmons is still unable to play in today's game due to psychological problems, the combination of Harden + Embiid against Irving + Durant has also attracted all the attention of fans. Unexpectedly, Harden was completely crotch-pulling in such a crucial game.
3 of 17 shots, 4 turnovers + 6 risks, this is Harden handed over today's report card, Barkley is even more blunt, "I want to tell you what makes me feel terrible now... That's James Harden. Harden pulled his crotch, Embiid wasn't much better: 5-of-17 shooting, also made four turnovers and was fouled four times. In contrast, Durant and Irving combined to efficiently blast 47 points, 18 rebounds and 12 assists, and the Nets finally won easily at 129-100.
Over the past few seasons, Harden never seems to have proven himself in a pivotal game, especially in the playoffs. The 76ers traded Harden for the title, and if they don't meet their goals in the next two seasons, it may be, as Barkley said: It will be one of the worst deals. But even if the 76ers can't win the championship this season, they may still have a chance to strengthen in the offseason.
Sources say Beal will jump out of contract in the summer to seek to join the new owner, and the 76ers with championship strength are his first choice. If the 76ers can get Beal, then they will form a terrifying Big Three lineup, and they will be the top team in the league.
