We know what we can do, we have two important players out, but everybody is ready, united, team defensive, team attacking, when we play like that, we're going to be great. There's a race tomorrow, and we're going to keep the same intensity and try to win the game. ”
Looking at the 76ers who suffered a defeat, player James Harden said helplessly: "We need games like this to warm up for the playoffs." That's what the playoffs are sometimes like, and things don't go so well. Today we couldn't shoot goals and there were some missed rounds. The opponent is tall and athletic, and when we shoot, there always seems to be someone defending in front of us. Once we didn't protect the rebounds, we had to defend at half-time, which was tough. Our space wasn't good either, and despite that, we had a chance to win the game. We lacked explosiveness, didn't attack the basket, didn't play well throughout the game, and then withdrew to the defense. And in the next game, I have to perform better, I will do it. ”
According to the schedule, tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. Beijing time, the 76ers will play against the Heat at home, and tomorrow at 8:00 a.m., the Raptors will compete with the Bulls on the road, hoping that in the case of staying away from injuries, the players can play the ideal competitive state!
