On March 31, Beijing time, los Angeles Clippers coach Tyrone Lu said in an interview that if you don't count the free throws, then Embiid and Harden can't enter the top ten of the scoring list!
Coach Lu said: "In terms of the number of free throws per game averaged this season, Embiid is first, Harden is third, and some people have said that if they don't count the free throws, they can't score in the top ten. In response, Harden and Embiid's teammate Danny Green responded on the show, and it seems that the Clippers and the 76ers' beams are also completely over.
Danny Green said: "I think they all say special genius, that is, they don't often go to the free throw line, they will still be in the top ten of the scores, this season obviously will not give Harden a whistle, we often see him rush into the inside line and then hang 3-4 people on his body, or punch him in the face, scratch his arm, and the referee just watches from the sidelines and doesn't show any expression! So, I don't think Tyronelu's comments apply to Harden this season, he doesn't have the normal free throws he has had in the past few years. ”
However, some fans said: "I ask you to take a good look at who is hanging on to whom." ”
And on March 29, Beijing time, Tyronelu talked about the matter for the second time, he said: "I mean at the time, if we continue to foul them, then they can get 50 points, I want them to score in the sports war, not let them hit the free throw, because their free throws are good." ”
In the game at that time, Embiid had 27 points and 10 rebounds on 7 of 8 free throws, and Harden had 29 points, 15 rebounds and 7 assists on 11 of 11 free throws.
At that time, the 76ers' operations president also tweeted in response to Lu's comments, but Lu Zhizhi said at the time: "As a response to the operation president, should he really tweet to express his views?" The last time he tweeted, the NBA lost $1 billion, so I don't think he should tweet too much. "I have to say, Director Lu is really hard!
