The 76ers' true level is revealed, the emperor tried his best, 28 shots and 30 points, Maxey is not as good as Harden
On November 22, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and today the 76ers sat at home to usher in the challenge of the Cavaliers, in the absence of Mitchell, I thought the 76ers would be able to defeat the opponent, but the 76ers finally lost to the opponent 119-122 in overtime, we won't say much about the process of this game, the Cavaliers relied on Garland and the Twin Towers to withstand the Emperor's offense, which led to the loss of the 76ers, and then we mainly talk about the players' performance in this game.
The Cavaliers defeated the Nuggets and the 76ers in succession in Mitchell's absence, which was indeed unexpected, they didn't expect the chemistry to be better after Mitchell's absence, after Garland got the ball, Mobley and Allen also got more opportunities to shoot, Mobley scored 18 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block on 6-of-10 shooting, and Allen scored 26 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists.
Garland is a big core player with the ball, he takes into account offense and organization, unlike Mitchell who is a scoring guard who is better at scoring, so Garland not only connected the team, but also played a good personal output, 10 of 25 shots in this game, 2 of 6 three-pointers scored 32 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals, although his personal output may not be as explosive as Mitchell, but in terms of helping the team, Garland is better.
So in the future, the Cavaliers should give Garland more ball-possession opportunities than Mitchell. Strus, who the Cavaliers got from the Heat trade in the offseason, also played very well in this game, he shot 7 of 15 from the field, 5 of 10 from three-point range, and scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.
After talking about the Cavaliers, let's focus on the 76ers, the emperor tried his best on both offensive and defensive ends, he shot 9 of 21 from the field, 1 of 3 from three-point range, scored 32 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals, which is also the fourth time in Embiid's career that he has cut 30+10+5+5 caps, only Big Dream, Admiral and O'Neal have done more than him in the past 40 years, Embiid has done more on the defensive end this season.
And his organization is also better, the current Emperor intends to develop in the direction of a ball-handling center like Jokic, fortunately, his performance is good, so far this season, Embiid can average 31.9 points, 11.2 rebounds, 6.2 assists, 1 steal and 1.5 blocks per game, with a shooting rate of 50.8%, his assists have created a career high, scoring first in the league and sixth in the league in rebounds per game.
The main reason for their recent poor record is the lack of firepower on the bench, and the other is that the team has no stable scoring points after the emperor is off the court, the 76ers came off the bench and scored a total of 16 points, and the game lost to the Pacers in this game The bench 6 scored 6 points, and then against the Green Army, the bench 6 scored 19 points, and the performance can be said to be unsatisfactory, and their benches have good blue collars, such as Beverley and Covington.
But they are all defensive players, the offense is not stable, but this problem is estimated to be solved after Oubre's return, now Batum as a starter, the effect is very good, Oubre comes to the bench he can also get more balls to prove himself, Oubre has averaged 16 points per game so far this season, and the performance is also very good. However, the team lacked the problem of players who would lead the team after the emperor left the game.
In the past period of time, Maxey's performance was indeed amazing, and even many fans and the media spread the saying that Maxey is better than Harden, and now as the season deepens, the difference between Maxey and Harden has also been shown, Maxey does have good offensive ability, but he is only better at fast break and breakthrough, but in positional warfare, his offense is not particularly good, and many times the offensive choice is not reasonable.
In this game against the Cavaliers, there were many rounds when Maxey could obviously slow down the pace and find more comfortable opportunities, but Maxey just blindly made strong shots, which led to the 76ers missing many opportunities to overtake. He scored 30 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal on 11-of-28 shooting and 3-of-12 three-pointers in this game.
But compared to Harden, he still has a gap, Maxey's passing ability and field control ability are obviously inferior to Harden's, after he began to be targeted by the opponent's defense recently, his offense is not as good as before, Maxey has averaged 24.2 points, 3.4 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game in the past 5 games, looking at the data alone is really good, but his overall shooting rate is only 39%, if you give his shot to Harden, it is estimated that Harden's data looks better than him, right?
Maybe this is the level that the 76ers should have now, they don't have the strength to win the championship, speaking of which, what do you want to say about the current 76ers and the Cavaliers? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
