In an NBA playoff game that ended today, the Philadelphia 76ers lost miserably to the Heat, and the series suffered a black opening! In the case that Embiid could not play due to injury, it was Harden's chance to prove himself, but Harden's performance was once again questioned, and he only hit 5 goals in 13 shots in the whole game, and there were 5 turnovers. Throughout Harden's entire career, he is probably the most unlucky superstar in the NBA.
As a 2009 flower exploration show, Harden could have joined forces with the Thunder and Durant and Westbrook to rush to the championship, but it was helpless that when the team's record was improving, Harden was traded to the Rockets by the Thunder because of the contract. When they came to the Rockets, they met a boss who cut the door and tried to avoid paying the luxury tax, resulting in the team's delay in strengthening its dominance.
Harden then grew into the league's top shooting guard, helplessly encountering the Warriors at the peak and unable to beat the Warriors in the playoffs for many years. In the 2018 season, the Rockets had a good situation in the series, but Paul suffered a hamstring strain, and the Rockets fell at the feet of the Warriors again.
In desperation, Harden chose to leave the Rockets to join the Nets, and formed a super big three with Durant and Irving. Last season, he was very hopeful to win the championship, but he was injured first in the playoffs, followed by Irving's injury, and finally failed to win the championship. This season was expected to make a comeback, but first Irving refused to be vaccinated and banned, then Durant was injured, and finally Harden chose to leave the team and was traded to the 76ers.
After joining the 76ers, the Philadelphia 76ers are also a strong team in the East, is one of the favorite teams to win the championship, helpless is embiid has suffered an injury, at present, Embiid may need to come back in G3 or G4, then I am afraid that the Heat have won the series of match points, Embiid's return is probably in vain.
After suffering a hamstring injury last season, it seriously affected Harden's explosiveness, and the accuracy of three points has also dropped a lot, and the scoring feast during the Rockets period has not been seen for a long time. Harden has averaged 4.4 turnovers per game in the regular season and shot as low as 41 percent; by the playoffs, his shooting percentage has fallen to 40.5 percent as low as 19 points per game. Harden, who is only 32 years old now, may have passed the peak.
