After an easy 4-2 win, the 76ers managed to reach the semifinals, and they will face a more powerful Heat team. For the 76ers, they were able to win the first round of the series, many people think it is Embiid's excellent performance, and some people feel that it is Harden's credit for the rhythm, in fact, in Rivers' heart, Harris is the biggest contributor, when the 76ers advanced, Rivers described Harris as follows: "He is fantastic, he may be the most valuable player in this series." ”
After 6 games, Harris can contribute 17.8 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, shooting 51.9% from the field, shooting 43.3% from three-point range, it is clear that in addition to Harden and Embiid, Harris has become the most stable scoring point for the 76ers, in fact, the most gratifying thing for fans is Harris's defensive ability, to put it bluntly, the configuration of the 76ers in various positions is the existence of the league's top level, only the front line is their weakness, why does Embiid dare to shoot three-pointers from the outside, Why can play such efficient data, to put it bluntly, can not be separated from the effort behind Harris, in fact, Harden is the same, it is precisely because Harris is behind the cattle and horses, so that Harden has more shooting space, Maxi although the offensive ability is strong, but not stable enough, in addition to the two cores, Harris is the biggest guarantee.
All along, Harris has been in a tepid state, perhaps because of his 5-year, $180 million super contract, or perhaps because of his selfless style of play, in short, since he left the Clippers, gradually faded out of the fans' vision, until Harden's appearance allowed him to completely find himself, especially his 3D attributes have become more and more obvious in recent games, 3D players are sought-after in any team, such as the Warriors' Green, the Suns' Bridges, But there are really very few people like Harris, excellent defensive ability, offensive ability is not bad, as well as organizational ability and rebounding awareness, why has such a near-perfect 3D player been forgotten by fans? To put it bluntly, it is because the attention is not high, and Harden's arrival allows Harris to reopen a window.
With the deepening of the season, the run-in of the 76ers lineup has become better and better, especially after Harris adapted to harden's joining, making the 76ers lineup more powerful, the cooperation between Harden and Harris has become more and more tacit, to some extent, Harden has become better and better, in fact, many times because of more helpers, Harris is definitely the most selfless person. While Embiid and Harden are now the leaders of the 76ers, we have to admit that both of them have fatal flaws.
First of all, let's talk about Embiid, before Harden joined, he was the leader of the team, and his use rate in the regular season was the highest, but after Harden joined, Embiid did not change his style of play, Xiao Feng summed it up, feeling that Embiid's style of play is a bit selfish, and it can even be said that it will sacrifice the overall rhythm of the team. And Harden is not much better, purely in terms of ability, Harden is absolutely qualified to be the leader of any team, but Harden's biggest shortcoming is that the ability to resist pressure is too poor, even in Embiid can also see such weaknesses, leaders have such defects, 76ers rely on whom? Yes, it is Harris and Green, who are born defensively, we never question the offensive strength of the 76ers, but the person who maintains the 76ers defensive formation is Harris, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a hard-working and resentful person.
The next 76ers will face a better defense, a deeper lineup of the Heat, overall comparison, the 76ers still have a clear weakness, the bench lineup is the biggest weakness of the 76ers, don't forget that there is an old Tucker familiar with Harden on the other side, how far the 76ers can go, Xiao Feng feels that in addition to the normal play of Embiid and Harden, Harris is the one who decides the upper limit.
Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
