On March 14, Beijing time, the 76ers played against the Magic, and Harden and Embiid led the team to play. Facing the penultimate number one in the East, Harden actually played a downturn again, frequently hit iron on the outside line, was hit by the Nets in the last game, and has not returned to God now? The 76ers were once behind, relying on the outbreak of Embiid and others, they chased the score back, the two sides played overtime, and finally the 76ers narrowly beat the bottom of the East 116-114. Embiid had 35 points, 16 boards and 7 assists, 15 of 17 free throws, Harden had 26 points, 6 boards and 6 assists, 5 of 19 shooting, 15 of 13, he and Embiid actually made 32 free throws and 28 of 32, and the two of them had higher free throws than the Magic team.
What is Harden doing? In his last game against the Nets, Harden was a terrible one. I thought it was just because of the problem against the old owner, this time should find the state again, but I didn't expect that the play was still ugly. Harden has been sleepwalking, hitting iron continuously in the first quarter, and he can only rely on free throws to get 3 points, and has not yet scored sports battles. And the 76ers are not playing well, and the offensive end effect is too poor! Even Embiid was carried out to strike iron frequently, and it was not very efficient. While the 76ers still scored badly in the second quarter, the Magic played well, with Carter Jr. and others erupting to try to widen the points gap. Harden finally hit from mid-range and scored in the athletic battle, but he hit a goal on 1 of 8 shots in the first half. The 76ers were also behind double digits, but were held back by the Magic.
Such a game is so surprising that Harden can't even play the first place in the East? The 76ers will really lose if they continue to play like this. Harden just started playing well in the third quarter, assisting his teammates for three points, and then he also hit three points, but after the ball passed, Harden disappeared again. Embiid could only stand up and take over the game, scoring under the basket, and then shooting again, waiting for Embiid to play 2+1 and successfully equalize. However, Fultz and Carter scored consecutive points, and the Magic continued to lead. Embiid made consecutive free throws, and Harden finally scored again on free throws, but the Magic hit three consecutive points and felt hot to the point.
Embiid scored 13 points in the quarter and still trailed. The Magic also scored consecutive points in the final quarter, Fultz taking a 10-point lead after hitting a three-pointer. Harden scored consecutive free throws, and now he can only score on free throws. The Magic, on the other hand, hit three points in a row, but thankfully Niang was able to match the three points. Embiid scored from a free throw, Harden finally hit a three-pointer, and then Embiid also hit a three-pointer to successfully reverse. The two teams alternated leads, but they were both dumbfounded in the last 3 minutes and had no choice but to score overtime. This is rookie pecking at each other! In overtime, Embiid scored from the basket and Harden finally hit a three-pointer. However, Anthony Jr. hit three consecutive three-pointers and the Magic continued to lead. Harden broke through to score and then assisted Harris in a three-point run. Maxi grabbed the key ball and then made 1 of 2 free throws. The Magic still had the chance to kill, but Wagner Jr. made 1 of 2 free throws, and then Harden also made 1 of 2 free throws, but fortunately the Magic did not score, and the 76ers narrowly won.
Harden is hit by the Nets to the point where he has not returned to God, is he still confused? Facing the penultimate number one in the East, it is really disappointing that you have played such a performance. When Harden first joined the 76ers, he scored 20+ points in a row, and it was almost a triple-double, and he played very well. But against the Nets, Harden was sluggish and lost for the first time, and then now he is in a slump, having been in the doldrums for two consecutive games. Harden won't be hit by the Nets until he loses confidence, right? I thought harden had found his peak in the 76ers, and I didn't expect the Nets to fight back, and Harden played a bad performance in the Nets period, or even worse.
Harden and Embiid had their honeymoon, and now they're starting to face run-in problems. Harden's injury should not have healed yet, otherwise there is no reason to play like this. This time Harden was defended by the bottom of the East and could only score by free throws. Embiid also scored inefficiently, both of them were sluggish, both rely on free throws to score, and the two got a lot of free throws, so it was too ugly to play. If they keep playing like this, the playoffs are not far away, and it's very difficult to get so many free throws in the playoffs. Harden still hurry up and adjust his state! Stop playing so badly.
