The 76ers and Heat series have been played four times, and the total score between the two sides has now reached a 2-2 draw, and it has to be admitted that Embiid's return has affected the entire series to some extent, and Coach Spoo's precise arrangement on the defensive end has become flawed, and the most serious problem is in the inner box. Limited by the height disadvantage, the Heat's inner pillar Adebayo was unable to fight embiid at all, resulting in Spoo coach being forced to adjust the rotation order, so that Adebayo's playing time was as staggered as possible with Embiid, and the Heat coaching staff tried to continue to suppress the 76ers with a "field horse race".
However, Rivers is a championship-level coach after all, with extremely rich playoff experience, Spoo's change of lineup was directly predicted by the 76ers coach, series G3G4 can be clearly found that Embiid deliberately led Adebayo to the three-point line, so that the Heat's interior defense became extremely empty, coupled with Harden has the NBA's top small play + organizational tandem ability, the 76ers almost did not make any effort to equalize the series total score. The net efficiency difference is nearly 66 points (100 rounds score)! Abandoning him is one of the few highlights of the Lakers' season.
As of series G4, through the analysis of data statistics, we can intuitively understand the difference in offensive and defensive efficiency of each 76ers player, which is the well-known net efficiency, of which two players are in a special situation. The first is Harden, whose data shows that the net efficiency of the 76ers is +4.9 points when Harden is on the floor, and -28.6 points when they are not present. This data is actually very easy to understand, Harden is equivalent to ensuring the lower limit of the team, even if it can not take the lead in the score, Harden can at least ensure that he does not lose points. On the other hand, it can also be reflected that the 76ers have become dependent on Harden at this stage, and once the latter sits on the bench to watch the game, the 76ers will be in a hurry.
Then there's Jordan Jr., whose data shows that the net efficiency of the 76ers is -56.7 points when Jordan Jr. is present, and +9.1 points when they are not present. What concept, when Rivers enabled Jordan Jr., the 76ers were almost in a state of collapse, but when Jordan Jr. was resting, the 76ers could get a certain lead, and the difference in net efficiency between the two situations was nearly 66 points, and the data was indeed embarrassing. It is reported that many NBA industry insiders have recently expressed their views on a series of operations by the Lakers this season in the name of ridicule.
Most of them believe that Lakers executive Pelinka resolutely cut Jordan Jr. in the middle of this season and used the vacated player quota to strengthen the lineup, which is one of the few highlights of the Lakers' season. At the same time, some people are still taking the opportunity to support a wave of former Lakers coach Vogel, saying that the reason why he abandoned the traditional center before and let the elderly James switch to playing the inside line is not the embodiment of Vogel's illness and rush to the hospital, but the Lakers center group led by Jordan Jr. is really embarrassing, perhaps in Vogel's eyes, the little Jordan who is in serious decline has long been eliminated by the NBA. Do you think Jordan Jr. can still find a new job in the league next season? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area below, thank you for reading and following.
