76ers continued. The coaches Rivers and Harden had a long talk. The communication between the two was captured by the camera. During this period, Old Rivers had been teaching Harden face-to-face and put forward five requests to him.
Old Rivers will establish the low-post offense of Embiid as priority, and Harden needs to adjust his mentality to become a leader; secondly, Harden should communicate more with Embiid and communicate more with his teammates; thirdly, Harden must be able to score with the ball and become a "bait" without the ball; fourthly, Harden must play aggressive in the last 5 minutes of the game, and Harden is unstoppable at critical moments; fifthly, Harden and Embiid's leadership status compete rather than democracy through pecking order (referring to the natural phenomenon of fighting among groups of animals to obtain priority and higher status quo).
Simply put, Old Rivers still insists on the tactical arrangement of last season. Embiid is the absolute core, and Harden is mainly responsible for the connection, but you need to score points. You must stand up. If you lose the game, you must take the blame in time.
Speaking of personal interests sacrifice, Harden boasted that he was one of the most selfless players in the league's history. He also gave an example in the situation where Nets lacked Durant and Irving , he had to be a scorer who averaged 30 points per game, and the Sixers had found a way to win.
Finally, Harden did not forget to praise Embiid. Although he has not won the MVP, he played very well, so he doesn't need to score 30 points here.
