Today, the 76ers against the Magic, facing the team in the East, the 76ers are still playing hard, Harden and Embiid are in a very sluggish state, fortunately they have the magic weapon to win: free throws, harden and Embiid have a total of 32 free throws, 12 more than the Magic team.
Embiid had 35 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists, Harden 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, which looked like the data was good, but Embiid shot 9 of 28 and Harden 5 of 19, both shooting less than 35 percent.
Without the support of free throws, the 76ers wouldn't even get the chance to go in overtime, let alone win. Harden has played very poorly in his last two games, against the Nets 3 of 15 in the half and 1 of 8 in the entire first half today, and it would be ugly without free throw stats.
In addition, the 76ers' defensive attitude is very bad, the outside line appears empty do not know how to assist the defense, but also repeated dribbling mistakes, with this attitude how to face the East.
Really in the playoffs, there will not be so many free throw opportunities, if Harden Embiid does not adjust the state in time, the 76ers will not go far!
