NBA playoffs, heat and 76ers games have attracted much attention, Embiid's injury has caused the 76ers to suffer the most serious blow, in this case, the 76ers can only rely on Harden alone to lead the team, the team support rate is one-sided, all fans and basketball media people better look at the Heat can easily beat the 76ers.
Embiid was injured in the last game against the Raptors, according to the latest news, Embiid is missing at least 2 games, the current situation, Embiid needs to lift the concussion protection agreement before he can start treating the facial injury, and during the treatment, Embiid must wear a mask to protect his face, which makes many fans want Embiid to play in the playoffs in 18 years, when the 76ers' opponent happened to be the Heat.
Embiid was injured, which reduced the strength of the team sharply, many fans began to complain about why Rivers had to let Embiid play for so long, and in the G6 game, the 76ers were already leading by a large margin, why not replace Embiid, in the face of the fans' doubts, Rivers was interviewed after the end of the team's training and talked about the situation at that time.
Rivers said: "At that time, the game was 5 minutes left, the opponent's main force was still on the field, if you look closely at this game, I was going to adjust the lineup in the next leg where Embiid's injury occurred, but bad things happened, if you write my decision big book, then I have nothing to say, because most of the games are 3-4 minutes left to replace the players. I hope he returns soon, the situation is not clear at the moment, Embiid is absent, the team can only dig inside, Jordan Jr. has a good performance against the Heat in the regular season, I hope he can help the team out of the predicament, in short, we will consider what we can consider, including compressing the lineup again.
In fact, Rivers is completely right, no coach wants his players to be injured, especially the core players, and the NBA has an unwritten rule, that is, when changing the main force, it is generally the main player who is left behind, but the leading side is down, which is a respect for the opponent, but everyone did not expect Siakam to come so, and did not expect it to be so serious.
Embiid will treat well next, he will not follow the team to Miami, in the face of the absence of teammates, Harden took the lead in speaking out, he said: Embiid is absent, let the outside world not look forward to the 76ers, but against the Heat, we have to play more strongly, with confidence to fight against the opponent, we have to do very simple, open space, constantly impact the inside line, end the offense or choose to pass to the outside shooter, we must have a defensive mentality, control mistakes and rebounds, pay attention to details, do everything we should do well, I'm sure we'll have a great chance to win.
Harden not only responded to the doubters who were not optimistic about them, but also told their own tactical arrangements, the details are done well, even if the opponent is very strong, they must also take out the belief of victory to fight, Embiid is absent, the only thing the 76ers can rely on is Harden, this round of series is very testing Harden, whether he can lead the team to win, it is very critical for Embiid to recover time. From Harden's domineering speech, it can also be seen that he wants to return to the rhythm of "Rocket Deng".
However, the Heat also made a good arrangement before the game, according to the heat coach Spoo's news, in order to be able to better limit Harden, the Heat team did not study the Nets and Harden in the 76ers period when laying out tactics, but focused on the Rockets period Harden video, they believe that Embiid is absent, Harden will usher in an outbreak, so they watched the Harden Rockets period video to prepare for the game, and Tucker knows Harden very well and can provide the greatest help for the Heat.
So all indications are that it is very difficult for the 76ers to win in the 2 games that Embiid is absent, but as long as Harden breaks out, everything is possible, and we look forward to a wonderful showdown between the two teams to see if Harden can deliver on his promise to lead the team strongly.
