Beijing time on April 17 news, the NBA playoffs first round, Philadelphia 76ers 131-111 defeated the Toronto Raptors, a big score of 1-0. This battle can almost be called the transformation of this team.
Let's look at the two people who have transformed.
The young Maxi scored 38 points on 14-of-21 shooting and 5-of-8 three-pointers in today's game, making him the youngest player in 76ers history to score 35+ points in a single game in the playoffs (21 years and 163 days). He is also the youngest player in NBA history to score 38+ points in a single game with a no less than 60 percent shooting percentage in a playoff game.
Another metamorphosis of the Philadelphia 76ers is James Harden, who recently questioned him during the recent game against the Raptors, although he shot only 6 of 17 shots and only scored 22 points, but he gave 14 assists, only one turnover, 4 of 7 three-pointers, and 1 steal and a block, with a plus-minus of +14 on the court.
As Rivers said in his review of Harden after the game, Beard is getting better and better at continuing the team's offense.
With the transformation of the stars, the transformation of the Philadelphia 76ers team became logical, they gave 29 assists in the whole game, but the whole team made only three mistakes, which was to equal the NBA playoff record.
The 76ers' metamorphosis also stemmed from the relationship between the players, who became closer. Maxi and James Harden attended the post-game press conference. During this period, bearded people praised Maxi and the atmosphere of the team in front of reporters, "Maxi is too fast, I am obviously not as fast as him, sometimes I will even be mocked by him for being 'old'", "I will try to help him, he can listen, we have a good coach, and another excellent leader." ”
This shows how much Harden and Maxy appreciate each other, and Harden clearly plays the role of Maxy's mentor. In addition, the bearded man's words also invisibly broke through the rumors of discord between the 76ers.
