76 people overrated? Maybe there really are some problems with the team! Against the Raptors, the 76ers were reversed with a 16-point lead. Against the Nuggets, the 76ers were reversed with a 19-point lead. Being turned over with a big lead is morale-crushing, especially for a team like the 76ers who are pointing a finger at the championship! And the most embarrassing thing is that yesterday's key battle against the Heat, Embiid and Harden have chosen a truce, while the 76ers have successfully defeated the Heat under the leadership of Maxi, which is really embarrassing.
It takes seven inches to fight a snake to become a hunter of excellence. In the two previous games that the 76ers lost, we can see from the performance on the court that in order to beat the 76ers, the key is to limit the play of Harden and Embiid. The Raptors put Embiid on 6-of-20 shooting and Harden on 5-of-12, and the team's two core players were blocked in their collective offense, and the 76ers' loss was expected. So, how did the Raptors block Embiid and Harden? In fact, the defensive strategy is very simple, that is, to stick to the box, cut off embiid, Harden and teammates, and let the two shoot from the outside. Once the duo's shots were inaccurate, the 76ers struggled to play.
For the 76ers, when Harden first arrived, many teams were still unfamiliar with the cooperation between him and Embiid, so the 76ers played a few good games, and the next game, especially the playoffs, Embiid and Harden will have the biggest problem.
