The intensity of the Eastern Conference playoffs this season is self-evident, with all the best going on, but one game stands out in particular – the Knicks-76ers series.
Apart from some expected matchups, the clash highlights the strength and strategy of the two teams. The showdown scene between the Knicks and the 76ers is really worrying!
If you look at the first two scenes, it's just a heartbeat scene one after another. The Knicks' performance was really impressive. They always stepped up and got the game back when it mattered.
The 76ers, alas, just lose points in the final moments of the game, lose so badly, and always don't hold on to the lead.
You have to look at the first game, the Knicks and the 76ers played a stalemate! On the court, you punched me and kicked me, no one let anyone, and the whole court was evenly matched.
Then it was the last minute, and the Knicks suddenly grabbed the victory fiercely. You have to say that in this situation they have a really good psychological quality, they are not relentless, and they get the victory.
But in the second game, the 76ers began to show some signs of counterattacking. They adjusted their tactics, and Maxey and Embiid performed well.
On the field, they were still able to take the lead sometimes, but the problem was, in the final moments of the game, they collapsed again!
It's like you're grabbing a handful of sand, but when you hold it, you find that the sand is leaking through your fingers.
The Knicks also have a set of playing styles. They don't rely on individual players, they rely on the performance of the whole team. Look at their starting five, all of them can play.
Take the guy named Brunson, who has a bit of a low shooting percentage, but he always scores points when it matters most.
And DiVincenzo, his outside shooting is not blown, and he has made a lot of three-pointers at key moments. As for the 76ers, the main focus is still Embiid and Maxey.
The two of them are the heart of the team, there's no doubt about that. The Knicks' players are not easy to deal with, and they really don't lose to anyone.
If you look at Hart, with 21 points and 15 rebounds, he's the pillar on the defensive end. And Thibodeau is simply ruthless, and he directly fills the time of the main players.
Hart actually played for 48 minutes, which is no joke, it was really a hard effort. When it comes to the 76ers, it's a bit hard to understand.
When the playoffs came, it was like a different person, and the whole team was in a state of collapse. Embiid is the crux of the matter, always injured, really not stable at all.
They also have veteran Lowry on their team, but once they get to the playoffs, they become more reliable than Embiid. Finally, I quite understand Harden's departure from Embiid.
No one wants to play in the playoffs with a regular season player. Embiid may not be the core of the team, or he may be better suited to be the second child of the team.
James Harden's performance on the offensive end was simply unstoppable. Not only does he possess a regular scoring game, but he also has rare individual ability that makes him a nightmare for opposition defences.
On the tennis court, many fans expressed their opinions on Harden's offensive skills.
Some fans said: "Harden's offense is simply incomprehensible! His speed and technique are at the top level on the court, let alone defense, even if there is defense, it is difficult to block his offense." ”
As soon as these words came out, they immediately aroused a burst of admiration. After all, Harden's offensive skills are truly breathtaking, and many fans are fascinated by them.
Other fans said: "Harden's European step is a killer! You see how flexible his footwork is, and how smooth he is with every shot and transition, it's really enviable." ”
This remark has also been agreed by many fans, after all, Harden's European step is also one of the best in the league.
His feelings, feints, and physicality are all tools for him to score, making him almost unstoppable on the court. But there are also some fans who have questioned Harden's offensive skills.
"Although Harden's offensive ability is very strong, sometimes his individual ability can affect the team's overall coordination," one said. ”
This remark has sparked some controversy, after all, Harden's individual ability is indeed a double-edged sword, and sometimes it can affect the overall performance of the team.
The 76ers made some adjustments in Game 2, but still couldn't withstand the onslaught of the Knicks.
Key players such as Maxey and Embiid performed okay, but they were still not enough to turn the game around. The Knicks, on the other hand, relied on the team's overall performance and the outstanding performance of the starting five to achieve a crucial victory.
The 76ers' frequent problems in the playoffs are fundamentally inseparable from Embiid's injuries and attributes. This is not only a heated discussion outside the stadium, but also a heated discussion and thinking among fans.
Online, there are quite a few fans who have expressed their opinions on the plight of the 76ers.
Someone said: "Embiid is like a different person when he arrives in the playoffs, and his condition is good and bad, which is really worrying." As soon as these words came out, they immediately sparked a heated discussion.
Some fans feel that Embiid's form has fluctuated too much, which has had a big impact on the team's stability.
Others believe that Embiid's inability to show a tough style of play in the playoffs has affected the team's overall momentum.
What's more, some netizens bluntly said: "Harden's choice to leave Embiid is really a wise move!" As soon as this remark came out, it immediately sparked a heated discussion.
Some believe that Harden is leaving for his own better development, and he is not willing to partner with a player who has been inconsistent in the playoffs.
Others said that this may be a reflection on Embiid's role in the team, and it is also an attempt at the future development of the team.
In the fandom, some people are even more worried about the plight of the 76ers. One fan said: "It's really distressing to watch the 76ers lose frequently in the playoffs!
Hopefully, the team can solve Embiid's injury problem as soon as possible, find the right role positioning, and regain confidence. ”
These words have also resonated and supported many fans. Everyone hopes that the 76ers can get out of the predicament as soon as possible and regain the feeling of victory.
Although the 76ers struggled in the playoffs, this matchup also highlighted the strength and determination of the Knicks.
The key in future games will be how the 76ers respond to the predicament and recalibrate their tactics, while Embiid will also need to think about how to play a bigger role in the playoffs, perhaps repositioning his role in the team.
