In the last 76ers game against the Raptors, Philadelphia turned the big score into 3:0 with a 3-point kill by Embiid in overtime, becoming the first team in the league to get the first round of the playoffs, but earlier today the 76ers came with bad news, Embiid is suspected of suffering from a torn right thumb ligament, although he himself said that there is no big problem, will insist on taking the injury to the fourth game against the Raptors, but the injury will become a major hidden danger for Philadelphia.
The US media Voice of Philadelphia wrote that after James Harden joined, the 76ers gradually explored the method. Harden became the helm of the 76ers ship in the playoffs. "After the last three games, the 76ers' offensive efficiency is second only to the Warriors in 127.1 points per 100 rounds." But in fact, Harden's personal score in these 3 games was not so amazing compared to the Rockets period, with 22 points, 5 rebounds and 14 assists in the first game, 14 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in the second game, 19 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists in the third game, and averaged 5.3 shots in 13 shots in three games, shooting 41% from 41%, and shooting 46.7% of the 5-point shooting. From his data, it can be seen that Harden is more focused on organizing tandem teams, and the burden of scoring is handed over to his teammates.
But with Embiid injured, Harden had to shoulder the scoring burden for the next game, as the Voice of Philadelphia said: "We have been waiting for Harden, the scorer, to step up at an important moment, and this former 'homely 30+' man stepped forward at an important point in G3." "And for the rest of the game, Harden needs to play a more aggressive performance on the offensive end.
Of course, Philadelphia's advantage is that they have already got the game points, and if they can beat the Raptors in the next game to advance, the emperor can win more rest time. But the emperor's injury is not optimistic, their goal this season is to compete for the title, and judging from the NBA's previous thumb ligament tear injuries, the average absence time is 7 weeks, Embiid may not have hurt the bones, which allows him to continue to play. Fortunately, it is blowing Yang to help the emperor to buy more time, considering the strength gap between the Hawks and the Heat, the next round of competitors of the 76ers will most likely be the Heat, and in the case that the Heat have achieved a 2:0 advantage, under the leadership of Blowing Yang, the Eagles returned to the home and won a victory to rewrite the big score to 2:1, which also won more rest time for Embiid.
But even so, the 76ers' title race may not be smooth, especially considering that they are a disciplined team in the next round of the game, and Maxi, who provided great fire support to the team in the playoffs, said he was willing to make sacrifices, saying: Playing next to former MVP Harden, whether he has the ball or not, I am willing to win. I have to say that this lad is really sensible, but as an important member of the core rotation, Max will continue to play a heavy role on the court, as Embiid said, it is the rise of Maxi that brings the 76ers back to the championship, and he will be an important player in Philadelphia's future.
