In the case of a 3:0 good situation, the 76ers were not able to end the series on the road, and many people were indignant about the loss of the last game, and even Embiid said that the referee controlled the game, but in fact, the 76ers themselves have many problems, the team chemistry is not ideal, the integrity is not enough, this is a real problem of the team.
Harden was very sensible about losing the game, and when talking about the big score being pulled 3:1 Harden said: "Losing is a good thing for us, it is a wake-up call for us, we think everything is good, we think things are easy, but it is not like that. This defeat is not about anyone, it's about ourselves. "To be honest, Harden can say something very different from Embiid is something that many people have not thought of, and from this we can see that Harden is really mature now, and he is not blaming the outside world for the loss, because he knows that this will not help to win the game, in fact, in the game we can also see that many times Harden is telling teammates to stay calm, the team needs to win the game, laying a solid foundation for the team to take a big lead.
But even so, the outside world is not satisfied with Harden's performance, as far as the entire series is concerned, Ha has averaged 19.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 9.8 assists, shooting 37.5% from the field, 39.1% from the three-point shooting rate, from his data on the court and the comparison with his peak in the Rockets period, there is a big difference in talent, even the United States Yang Yi said: "Harden looks finished, Harden when the Rockets, that buddy is no longer there." ”
There is nothing wrong with saying this, but to know what Harden went through when he was at the Nets, coupled with his 33-year-old age, the decline in status can be said to be expected, and when it comes to Harden's offensive status, the team's coach Lao Li said that he was not worried about his offense at all, but to do a good job, Rivers said: "Harden is better than me when he was a player, he is a very good player, I don't worry about his shooting at all, he will hit shots and complete the offense, he now breaks through a lot, so he will face a lot of defense, It made his shot difficult. He's still organizing the offense, today he had 22 points and nine assists and what we need to control is turnovers. ”
Because from the 76ers lineup, they are not a team that lacks offense, they need more is Harden's ability to organize tandem teams, but everyone knows that Harden is halfway to philadelphia, the team's overall lineup grinding and merging has not reached the ideal state, and in the game we can also see that Harden is more focused on organizing tandem teams, but in the series 4 games, Harden in addition to the first game only 1 mistake, the remaining 3 games have a total of 12 mistakes, the average of 4 times per game does not seem to be much, But Harden could have done better, and the last game was when the Raptors used a mistake to beat the 76ers. Of course, this also has something to do with Embiid, Harden is good at blocking and dismantling, and Embiid's habit of going it alone, coupled with his current finger injury attacking state is greatly reduced.
And for the whole team, in order to go further in the playoffs, Harden and Embiid need to cooperate more tacitly, and if they can't achieve it in the end, they also hope that Harden will not be pointed out by thousands of people, because he has made great changes and sacrifices...
