On April 26, Beijing time, Philadelphia, which returned home, was not able to win another game to solve the battle, and they lost to the Raptors and were chased to 3-2 after losing two consecutive games. Harden's slump is naturally one of the important factors in losing, this game Harden played 39 minutes and 37 seconds, only 4 of 11 crosshairs, including 2 of 6 three points, plus 5 of 6 free throws, 15 points, 7 assists and 5 turnovers, and a plus-minus of -10 on the field.
It is worth mentioning that in the last two games lost by Philadelphia, Harden has shot less than 50% of the shooting target in two consecutive games, the last game was 5 in 17, and the current game was 4 in 11, and the total was only 28 in 9 to hit 19 iron crosshairs.
What is even more tragic is that Harden has played 5 games in the first round, except for the 3rd game of 13 of 7, the other 4 games are shooting less than 50%, has become a link in Philadelphia's offensive end.
Facing the Raptors duel without VanVleet, Philadelphia was originally expected to solve the battle at home, especially Harden was also optimistic about rebounding to help the team win another promotion after the lack of a strong opponent. However, reality has hit the face hard for the good expectations of Harden and Philadelphia, this campaign Harden only got 5 points in the half of 7, including 3 of 3 outside three points, sent 3 assists and 3 mistakes to enter the account.
Although Harden finally picked up in the second half, still hitting two outside shots and retreating three-pointers, his performance of 4-of-2 in the last two quarters, with the help of shooting and free throws to score another 10 points in the second half, was still far from enough to save Philadelphia's defeat.
You know, harden only 11 in 4 of the crosshairs in the whole game, only hit 4 sports goals, but sent 5 mistakes, which is undoubtedly a miserable performance, but also needs Harden to seek a rebound in the next game, otherwise Philadelphia wants to advance to the next round of difficulty is still relatively large.
