On May 5, Beijing time, the 76ers lost again in the G2 game against the Heat, and if they returned to the home court, the 76ers could not find a way to win, then the 76ers were in a very dangerous situation.
Recently, NBA star Carter talked about Harden in the "Get Up" show, and Carter said: He is not the guy, not the guy from Houston. Believe me, I've been playing long enough and people will say I'm no longer the person I used to be, that I can't do this, I can't do that. So can Harden change? He's not the guy anymore, but he can play smarter than his opponents, he can transfer the ball, he can have fake moves, there are a lot of little things to do. Playing smarter than others requires effort, maybe less dribbling, maybe more precise on-court decisions, or getting out earlier. Harden now needs to move the ball, instead of dribbling and dribbling all the time to create chances, and when the defensive attention is all on him, do something else to make the game easier.
Carter played in the NBA for more than 20 seasons, is one of the representatives of the four major quarterbacks, the young Carter is also the team's offensive core, scoring ability is not inferior to the same period of Kobe Bryant and Iverson, but as he grew older, Carter also began to gradually change his playing style to adapt to the league, although he failed to win the championship, but Carter is also one of the players of the future Hall of Fame.
Today's Harden officially faces this problem, and in today's Interview with Rivers, it was learned that Embiid estimated that it would be difficult to appear in the game of G3, so G3 still needed Harden to lead the team alone to face the challenge of the Heat.
As Carter said, if Harden put more energy into tandem teams, he might get good results.
Harden's form hasn't been very good in the last two games, including his breakthrough and projection, which has not reached the state of the Rockets, which is really difficult for the 76ers to rely on Harden's offense to win games.
In today's game, one of the biggest factors for the 76ers to lose is the firepower support on the bench, the Heat's bench scored 52 points, while the 76ers bench only scored 19 points, if Harden can connect the team, the whole people are soldiers, maybe a good way to win the game.
Although there is no Embiid, Harden can completely connect Maxi and Harris, including Danny Green, have a good projection, which not only reduces its own offensive pressure, but also disperses the team's offensive points, expands the team's offensive space, and allows Harden to have more room to break through, which may also be a good choice.
