The third-ranked 76ers are still expected to become the number one in the East in the final stages, of course, this requires Harden and Embiid to bring normal play, and definitely can not see the performance they did when losing to the Nets, as well as role player Maxi. The author feels that occasionally losing a strong dialogue cannot completely negate the overall strength of the 76ers, not to mention that there is no team in the league that can guarantee that it will not lose, and losing will be a technical adjustment. Therefore, the 76ers are still the biggest favorite to win the championship, at least they are different from the Clippers and Warriors, and they will not put all the super giants in the same position.
However, domestic celebrity Yang Yi brought a different point of view in the latest interview, he believes that Harden and Embiid are the problem of the 76ers. He pointed out that Harden is a player with little willpower and is indeed excellent in singles, but temper and emotional intelligence can cause problems in the dressing room. Embiid has a similar problem, just not as obvious as Harden'. Why Harden left the Rockets and Nets in a short period of time was actually left after causing locker room problems. No supergiant will change three teams in three years, and Harden is the first.
The author feels that Yang Yi only one-sidedly pointed out the problem, not a very comprehensive analysis of Harden and Embiid, if you only hold the star's problem analysis, then what is the significance? Of course, Harden still has some personal problems more or less, and there have been media reports that when he played for the Nets, he hoped to get the same voice as Irving and Durant, and was not willing to become the third star of the team. Because Harden has always been used to being the boss of the team, when Paul was on the Rockets, he also understood the sophistication of people and did not compete with Harden for a brother position.
If Harden wants to leave the team for a greater voice, it is also reasonable, at the 76ers, he and Embiid should be on an equal footing. If nothing else, the 76ers are even willing to make big deals for him in order to keep Harden, such as bringing in one of Harden's strongest assists from the Rockets. I would like to remind you that Harden and Embiid may not be very strong players, that is, they may not have the ability to lead the team to play against the wind, will Rivers continue to bear the reputation of being the king of reversals? That's enough to affect the 76ers' playoff prospects.
So, the team with Harden and Embiid, as long as there is a tailwind, is basically not a big problem, but they may have a situation of simultaneous abnormalities, which will also affect the play of other role players, which is the most fatal. At this time, Coach Rivers needs to think more, of course, this problem will make his head bigger, but there is always a way to solve this problem. Ten thousand steps back, if you can't win the championship this season, there is still great hope for a proper trade next season. Harden joined the 76ers to win the championship, and I think he has a good chance of achieving this personal goal, so I will continue to pay close attention to the play of Harden and Embiid.
