After the latest issue of MVP, Embiid has fallen from the first position to the third, and the 76ers' record is also plummeting, Harden did not join the 76ers before, Embiid is the core of the team, whether it is data or records above let him maintain enough competitiveness in the MVP competition, but since Harden joined, Embiid's wind evaluation has taken a sharp turn, continuously surpassed by Jokic and Alphabet Brother, in fact, Embiid can have the current situation, inseparable from Harden's push.
From the position point of view, Embiid and Harden should have been the best combination in the league, but the two of them did not play the expected effect, although Embiid has maintained enough competitiveness on the data side, but it has to be admitted that under harden's background, all the shortcomings of Embiid are undoubtedly displayed, so the question is, what kind of blow did Harden bring to Embiid? Xiao Feng felt that it could be analyzed from three aspects.
First of all, is the change of mentality, Harden is the league's top scorer, so is Embiid, when Harden did not join, all the ball rights were Embiid alone, this season Embiid's ball share is as high as 37.5%, the league first, but Harden's joining will eventually break down Embiid's ball rights, Embiid, who has never won a strong honor, is in a hurry, the more he wants to show himself The worse he plays, mistakes, singles are endless, to be honest, his style of play will only complete his own sacrifice of the team.
Then, is the influence brought by Harden, how many people are concerned about the 76ers because of Harden's joining, Harden's arrival has made the attention of the 76ers significantly improved, before Embiid single-core team, there is not much attention, just rely on Simmons to bring a little traffic, but since Harden joined, some of the slight changes of the 76ers will be infinitely magnified, before Harden did not join 76, Embiid's self-centered play is not wrong, but Harden's level is much higher than Embiid, It is obviously inappropriate to play according to the previous thinking, Harden's fans will not buy it, and Harden will also be angry. But Embiid seems to be unaware of such a problem, and still constantly asks himself to attack with the ball on the outside, to be honest, except for the poor foul, Embiid's ability to hold the ball is not too strong. Such an approach not only destroyed Harden's offensive rhythm, but also plunged himself into the abyss.
In the end, Harden's addition has demonized Embiid, Embiid averaged 11.7 free throws per game this season, setting a career high, to be honest, such a style of play will not be accepted by fans, it seems that Embiid is obsessed with this way of scoring, although he has an offensive efficiency of 114.3, but the average defensive efficiency of 107.6 per game is difficult to satisfy, and now the 76ers have a record of fourth in the East, basically losing home advantage, and most importantly, the game enters a key moment, Embiid's performance is not satisfactory, can not take on the responsibility of the team, can not lead the team to win, such Embiid is indeed not worthy of MVP.
The regular season is nearing the end of the season, it seems that the team's problems have never been solved, facing such a dilemma, what should the 76ers do? Xiao Feng feels that it is actually easy to solve, that is, to give up power, determine the positioning of Harden's core players, let Harden find the most familiar way of playing, as for Embiid should play more baskets, only in this way can harden's maximum power be exerted. As for the illusory honor, Xiao Feng felt that as long as the championship was in hand, everything else could be ignored.
Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
