James Harden joined the Philadelphia 76ers and formed a “Superman Connection” with Joel Embiid, the most popular 76ers center for this year’s MVP.
The triumphant Joel Embiid mightn’t help but feel joy, “It’s a blessing to have James Harden, he can score, has excellent passing, and has super breakthrough ability, which opens up more space on the court and creates more chances for teammates, no matter what the opponent wants. Don’t double-team James Harden or me, it will all pay…”.
The perfect combination of Joel Embiid + James Harden is very “scientific”, and it is not surprising that they have extraordinary combat power. The two players’ ball paths, playing styles, positions, and strengths are compatible and multiplied. What Joel Embiid said is true.
James Harden can handle the ball, be good at singles, and pass the ball first-class. He is the league’s super killer on the perimeter, breakthrough, and one-on-one. Joel Embiid is unstoppable in the low post, restricted area, and high post. , any double-teaming Joel Embiid defense would take a lot of risk.
But James Harden joined the 76ers, and another 21-year-old Tyrese Maxey might start and share the ball with James Harden. The ball usage rate in the past two games was 20.5%, which was higher than that before James Harden joined the 76ers. 19% is even more, and the efficiency on the court is even better, which is “very unscientific”.
Tyrese Maxey averaged 24.5 points, 4.5 assists, 5-for-8 from 3-point range, and 15 attempts per game in James Harden’s season with the 76ers.
Incredible, totally unexpected.
When James Harden joined the 76ers, he averaged 27.5 points, 14 assists, and 9 rebounds in both games. Tyrese Maxey, who started with him, also averaged 24.5 points per game, which was incredibly efficient.
The “unscientific and extraordinary performance” of the 76ers is really shocking, but this is only a short honeymoon period, or the 76ers are really going to soar into the sky and head to the East Championship. We may only see more before mid-April. clear.
Compared to the extraordinary performance of the three giants Joel Embiid, James Harden and Tyrese Maxey, the original No. 3 star of the 76ers, Tobias Harris, seemed very lonely.
Tobias Harris has averaged 9 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists per game in the past two games, with only 9 shots per game, which is not a small gap from the season average of 18.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 15 shots per game. But there are only two games, and the 76ers won very easily, the sample is too small, and the reference sample and content are not enough.
But James Harden + Tyrese Maxey started with “unscientific performance” and extraordinary performance, which was really unexpected.
Both need the ball and the ball, and both need tactics. They are both good at breakthrough, single play, and space-creating defenders. Their partner Joel Embiid can release them perfectly, which is really amazing.
The ball, usage, playing time is all that. If James Harden + Tyrese Maxey can play like this all season, then Joel Embiid and other 76ers main and role players will probably have a lot of time to be spectators. This is a pair of 76ers. Whether the combat power and overall will have a negative impact still needs to be observed for a while.
Right now, I think the addition of James Harden to the 76ers will definitely affect Tyrese Maxey’s usage rate, ball possession and tactical role is clearly a miscalculation. The ones most affected right now are Tobias Harris and the role players, both losing more roles and possessions, and I’m constantly making judgments regarding whether this is good or bad for a team that wants to compete for a championship and its strength.
If James Harden is still so amazing + unstoppable, if Tyrese Maxey is still so unstoppable, it will not be affected at all, Joel Embiid is still playing like the MVP of the year in the interior, then the Eastern Bucks, Heat, Nets, Celtics be afraid.
No, it should be said that the entire league will be afraid.
We’ll see what the Sixers look like before the playoffs start in mid-April.
