The NBA's regular season games continue to be contested, and the high-profile Philadelphia 76ers are at home to challenge the Nuggets. From the fiasco to the 2-point win over the Magic, the 76ers' state seems to have fluctuated a bit lately, and for many fans who are following the 76ers, the biggest question at the moment may be: "Is the sweet period between the emperor and Harden over?" However, in this game, the 76ers were reversed by the Nuggets after leading by nearly 20 points at one point, and finally lost 110-114. Embiid played well, shooting 11-of-20 in the game, with 34 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, and Harden also contributed a 24+9+11 quasi-triple-double to the team.
The emperor asked the teacher to chat after the game
So far, both Joel Embiid and Jokic are among the strong contenders for this season's regular season MVP. However, in this dialogue of "first center" and "regular season MVP", Mr. Yo, who obviously won the game, laughed to the end, although in terms of scoring, Jokic's data is not as gorgeous as the Emperor, but after the whole game, Mr. Yo also cut 22 +13+8 data, and hit a throw worth thousands of gold in the defense of the Emperor at the final game decisive moment. After the game, Jokic and Embiid hugged each other tightly and encouraged each other for a brief exchange. At the post-match press conference, Mr. Yo praised the emperor and said bluntly: "I like to play against the best players in the league, he is really very good." I love the feeling of competing on the same court as him. ”
Harden talks about the reasons for the low number of shots in the last quarter
In this game, Harden has a total of nearly 40 minutes of playing time, hitting 6 goals in 11 shots, and has a quasi-triple-double of 24 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists. However, in the final quarter of the game, Harden only got 2 shots, and in the post-game press conference, Harden also talked about the reason for his low number of shots in the last quarter, and said: "I want to run the ball more, we have a lot of players who can attack, we have Embiid, we need to create opportunities for him." I'm still looking for a balance between individual offense and driving the team, which may take some time. However, after Harden played in the last quarter, the Nuggets decisively adopted a forced bag to limit Harden's play on the offensive end, so when he was wrapped up by the other two, Harden could only choose to distribute the ball to his teammates and let others end the attack.
A major drawback of the 76ers has emerged
In fact, throughout the game, the 76ers quickly grasped the initiative on the court after the opening, and once maintained the lead of the score between 15 points and 20 points, from the perspective of the starting lineup, the 76ers had to have the upper hand. However, after the two sides entered the rotation lineup, the gap in the strength of the substitute players gradually became apparent. There is no doubt that Nuggets bench Young Man Heyland has undoubtedly become the wonder of the game, shooting four consecutive three-pointers in the final quarter to help the team directly surpass the score.
On the other hand, on the 76ers side, no substitute player can respond when entering the rotation, Niang only hit 2 goals in 12 shots, plus or minus -19, and his offensive choices in the last moments of the game have also been unanimously questioned by many netizens. Danny Green, known as a shooter, also did not find his shooting bag, and did not hit a single shot in the five three-point shots in the whole game, and the score was zero. Therefore, how to enhance the scoring ability in the rotation lineup and avoid the team being counterattacked by the opponent after entering the rotation time will also become a problem that head coach Rivers urgently needs to solve in the coming period.
