On April 19, Beijing time, Philadelphia continued to sit at home to meet the Raptors, launching the first round of G2 battles in the playoffs, and Harden ushered in two playoff free throw milestones. Harden's playoff free throw numbers surpassed Wade to 12th in history, Harden's playoff free throws surpassed Lakers legend Elgin Baylor to 15th in playoff history, and also reached the 1100 playoff free throw number milestone, and both figures are ranked 3rd in the active game.
First, Harden surpassed Wade in the number of free throw hits in the playoffs to rise to 12th place in history and 3rd in the current game.
Harden has hit 950 goals in his pre-playoff career, and he easily surpassed Wade with 951 shots in this game to rise to the 12th in the history of the playoff free throw number list, the previous being Tiangou Jabbar's 1,050 free throws. As for active players, Harden ranks third in the number of free throws hit in the playoffs, behind James with 1749 shots and Durant with 1105 free throws.
Second, Harden surpassed Vassi in the playoffs to rise to 15th place in history, reaching the 1100 free throw milestone and currently ranking 3rd.
Harden reached 1,095 free throws in the pre-playoffs, and he successfully surpassed Lakers legend Elgin Baylor 1,098 in the playoffs to rise to 15th on the NBA playoff history free throw count list.
In addition, Harden became the 15th player in NBA playoff history to have made at least 1,100 free throws, the previous one being Rings King Bill Russell 1,106 free throws. As for active players, Harden ranks third in the number of playoff free throws, behind James with 2364 free throws and Durant's 1278 free throws.
Harden is a "penalty machine" in the regular season, and in the playoffs he continues to maintain the free throw killer mode, so it is no wonder that the opposing coach complains that Harden and Embiid have too many free throws.
