Beijing time on March 22 news, Philadelphia 76ers two stars Joel Embiid and James Harden did not appear in the game against the Miami Heat, but even so, they still got the final victory.
And taking advantage of the time when the two of them have a break in this game, it is better to take a look at the transcripts handed over by James Harden and Embiid during this time, right? The information below will not only give us an explanation of why the 76ers chose to let their stars rest at this juncture, but also give us an idea of Harden's adaptation to Embiid.
In fact, the news of the 76ers' rotation of Harden and Embiid is not surprising at all, a few days ago the team coach Rivers mentioned that the two will be suspended at the end of the regular season, the purpose of this is to reserve "ammunition" for the playoffs in advance.
Rivers dared to make such a plan because of the chemical reactions that Embiid and Harden established during this time.
The data shows that since Harden and Embiid teamed up, the duo has played 295 minutes together, during which time the plus-minus value is +89. At the same time, when they were together, the team's offensive efficiency value was 122.5, the defensive efficiency value was 105.7, the net offensive and defensive value was 16.9, and the true shooting rate was 63.2%, and the four data were the first in the league. Together, they also scored 169 goals and 237 free throws.
Considering that they have more ambitious goals in the playoffs, it is not a wise move to take a rotation with such an energetic duo to reduce the likelihood of injury.
The 76ers currently have a record of 44 wins and 27 losses, placing them in third place in the East.
