Nine wins in a row to make the playoffs! Barkley: The second-best team in the East

With the deepening of the play-offs, the last suspense in the East and West is now the eighth in the division, and now the Kings and Bulls are more likely to want to make the playoffs, because the Heat team boss Butler suffered a serious injury and will miss for several weeks, relying on Adebayo and Herro to win the Bulls is basically useless, and the Pelicans are injured the team boss Zion, although they swept the Kings this season, but mainly because Zion is there.

The seventh in the east and west are the Lakers and the 76ers, and the two teams are also very lucky, the Lakers vs. Pelicans played a very close game in the fourth quarter, but Zion retired injured in the fourth quarter, which also allowed the Lakers to seize the opportunity and finally narrowly beat the Pelicans. After the 76ers suffered an injury in this game, both offense and defense were affected, so the 76ers were able to catch up with the point difference and win.

To say that the 76ers have had a lot of ups and downs this season, they relied on Embiid's unsolvable personal kill at the beginning of the regular season, and they once reached the top two in the East, but then Embiid suffered an injury in the game against the Warriors, and then he missed more than half a season, and the 76ers also fell because of his absence, the team's record fell again and again, and it once fell to the eighth place in the West, and then Embiid returned to the fire line.

He led the team to 8 consecutive wins in the regular season, and the team was expected to finish fifth in the division in the last game of the regular season, because the team's record was the same as the fifth Magic at that time, but the Bucks deliberately released water, which eventually led to the Magic still ranking fifth, but the 76ers also relied on a wave of 8 consecutive wins to kill the seventh position to replace the Heat, and the reason why the team was able to defeat the Heat in the play-offs was also indispensable.

They entered the playoffs with a wave of 9 consecutive wins, and the team will challenge the Knicks, which is undoubtedly a big challenge for the Knicks, after all, in terms of strength, the Knicks and the 76ers are not at the same level at all, and their star on the Knicks' side is still injured, Randle is reimbursed for the season, although Anunoby is back, but their duo is obviously a gap in the face of a duo like Embiid and Maxey.

And now the 76ers are different from the past, although Harden left, but Maxey took his place very well, and they exchanged Harden for Batum and Covington, two experienced veterans, Batum scored 20 points in the play-offs to eliminate the Heat, in addition, Harris, Oubre, Hield are also very good players, Melton is also close to returning, their squad thickness is very good.

The reason why the Bucks deliberately lost in the last game of the regular season was that they didn't dare to touch the 76ers, after all, Brother Alphabet was injured, and it is hard to say when he will be able to come back, they will fall out of the top two in the division if they deliberately lose, so they also avoided the 76ers, and the Cavaliers are the same, they are afraid that they will win and climb to the second, so they also deliberately lost to the weak Hornets, and in the end, the Cavaliers are ranked fourth to face the Magic, and the Bucks are ranked third to face the Pacers, all of which have avoided Embiid's 76ers.

According to the current situation, the 76ers are likely to be black seven, and their overall strength is stronger than the Knicks, who are second in the East, after all, if it is not for Embiid's injury, the 76ers are likely to be the top three teams in the East, even if Embiid missed 52 games in the regular season, at the end of this season, the Knicks, who are second in the East, are only 3 wins ahead of the 76ers, who are seventh, and the difference in strength between the two teams is still very large.

Previously, Barkley talked about the 76ers in an interview, he said: "The Knicks lost Randle, obviously we want to play the Knicks, we won the play-offs, I think the 76ers are the second best team in the East, we can consider going to the Eastern Conference finals", if you think about it carefully, Barkley seems to be right, in the case of the defeat of the Heat, and Butler's injury, and when the letter will be able to return is not easy to say, the 76ers do look like they are only worse than the Celtics in the East.

If they can cross the Knicks, in the second round the team will face the third and sixth winners in the East, whether it is the Bucks or the Pacers, they are not absolutely sure that they can defeat the 76ers, and even the 76ers are more dominant in the face of them, although the Bucks have a super duo but the defense is not good, and the duo has no chemistry, it is difficult for them to cross the first round, the Pacers have no defense, and the emperor will play more easily against them.

This season's 76ers are indeed stronger than last season, although there is less Harden, but as we said just now, their lineup thickness is better, and secondly, the 76ers' replacement coach Knicks Nas, his ability is much stronger than that of Lao Li, Nas's on-the-spot adaptability is better, and his adjustment ability is also better, this season the 76ers do have a chance to reach the Eastern Conference finals, but it is still very difficult to get out of the East.

Speaking of which, what do you have to say about the current 76ers? Welcome to leave a message to discuss.
