On April 14, Beijing time, the 76ers were preparing for the first round of the showdown with the Raptors. According to 76ers reporter Lauren Rosen, Harden trained overtime after today's training session.
According to the video exposed by Lauren Rosen, Harden added three points, and with the help of the assistant coach, Harden practiced arc top three-pointers, feeling hot and continuous hits.
In the final stage of the regular season, Harden did not feel good. Entering April, Harden averaged only 15.8 points per game in his last five regular season games, shooting 36.1 percent from the field and 27.3 percent from three-point range.
Although Harden has done a good job of stringing together the team's offense, averaging 13.2 assists per game, the sluggish feel on the offensive end cannot be hidden.
However, for Harden, to make up for the lack of hand, he has a big killer, that is, free throws. After joining the 76ers, Harley averaged 8.9 free throws and hit 7.9 free throws, and when it came to the free throw controversy, Harden responded, "Free throws are part of the game. Defense is disciplined, not foul, and that's what coaches should teach players. For me, I don't care, I just try to influence the game in a positive way every night. ”
It's worth mentioning that speaking to the Nets' "if everyone stays healthy", Harden said, "Everyone is thinking 'if, if, if', but in fact, things don't change because of 'if'." Now with Embiid, Harden said, "We're not O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, we're ourselves, we're a different version." ”
And, Harden re-emphasized, "I just want to do my best to be the best I can be and bring a championship to Philadelphia, and that's our goal." ”
