The Philadelphia 76ers, who were not optimistic about the first round of the playoffs, proved with their own performance that the playoffs are a stage for superstars, although Harden's current scoring ability can not be compared with the Rockets, but the emperor Embiid's super personal ability will minimize the impact of Harden's lack of scoring, but due to the impact of injuries, the emperor missed the first game in the Eastern Conference semifinals and the Heat, which also made their winning prospects not optimistic, although in the game relying on Harris's excellent performance, The Heat once reversed the decline in the half-court, but Rivers mistakenly believed in the old Jordan Jr., allowing Adebayo to play on the inside, and the substitute Hiro also played a super personal performance, and finally the Heat also defended their home stadium as they wished, defeating the 76ers 16-92 and winning the series!
Harden, who was not welcomed by the referee, did not perform as expected
As early as the beginning of this season, the league modified the rules for creating fouls, Harden's personal offensive performance has shown a significant decline, and because of the notoriety of "cheating fouls", harden has become the object of the referee, even normal fouls appear on Harden's body, will also be ignored by the referee, this time Harden strong Tucker was blown offensive fouls, obviously a misjudgment, the latter did not stand on both feet at all, and in the game Adebayo retreated three points after blocking Harden, The movement of the obvious hit to Harden's arm was also ignored by the referee.
In addition to not having a large number of free throws in the past, Harden's personal offensive ability is indeed not comparable to the peak, this campaign is targeted in the Heat's defensive system, Beard only hit 5 goals in 13 shots, the personal data is only 16 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, and there are a team-high 5 turnovers.
Harris proved his worth, helpless teammates collectively pulled crotch
Harden's performance is indescribably outstanding, the 76ers were able to overtake the score at one time in an unfavorable start, Harris, who holds the top salary, is undoubtedly the biggest contributor, he has been criticized in the regular season, and he has also proved his worth, cutting the team's highest 27 points in 11 of the 18th game, but unfortunately, the team's outside three-point pitchers are collectively dudded, making Harris's efforts useless.
Danny Green 1 of 5 three-pointers, Maxi 1 of 6 three-pointers, And Niang only played 7-of-0 outside the three-point line, and after the lack of the Emperor's strong point on the inside, the outside players performed so badly that it became reasonable to lose.
Rivers misbehaves Jordan Jr., and the team's interior line was hammered
When Embiid was able to play, the 76ers had the most dominant interior line in the league, but in the absence of the Emperor due to injury, Rivers mistakenly believed the former Clippers' veteran Jordan Jr., let him start the game, and played for 17.2 minutes, and Jordan Jr. at his peak was not a top interior defender.
Now there are many holes in the defensive end, the Heat have pulled apart several times in the game, all of which are directly related to the sharp decline in the 76ers' defensive dominance after Jordan Jr.'s appearance, and the plus-minus of Jordan Jr. -22 in the whole game is enough to explain this problem, and the Heat and Jordan Jr.'s Adebayo are very efficient in cutting down the comprehensive personal data of 24+12+4+2+1, breaking the 76ers' interior line.
Tucker became the mastermind behind the Heat victory, and Hiro habitually exploded
Hiro, who performed amazingly in the regular season, is still the most eye-catching player on the offensive end of the team in this game, after coming off the bench, he shot 4 of 6 from three-point range, cut 25 points and 7 assists, not only cut the team's highest score, but also successfully revitalized the team's offense.
Facing the big brother of the year, Tucker's personal performance also beat Harden, the whole game cut 10 points and 7 rebounds, including offensive rebounds, Tucker grabbed 5, key moments of defense and frontcourt rebounds, greatly boosted the morale of the team, there is no doubt behind the scenes!
From the performance of the first series between the two sides, it can be clearly seen that without Embiid's sitting, the 76ers will be difficult to defeat the Heat in the East in the game, hoping that the emperor can return in time and let the 76ers fight with the opponent once!
