The final whistle sounded, and the score was frozen at 123-132. No one expected that superstar Harden suffered a loss in his first game of comeback. You know, he chose a weak team, which is the bad Rockets , which is his former former boss.
In this game, 76ers lost very badly. After all, as a super strong team in the East, it currently ranks seventh in the East and is the favorite of the championship this season. The Rockets are currently only ranked second to last in the West.
The biggest responsibility for losing is obviously Harden. In the whole game, Harden played for 38 minutes, scored 21 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds in just 4 of 19 shots, but made 7 mistakes.
In fact, his teammates performed well, especially Embiid . In the whole game, Embiid made 12 of 21 shots, 17 free throws, 39 points, 7 rebounds, 2 breaks and 2 hats, Harris three-pointers, 7 shots, 27 points, 3 breaks, Melton 9 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 breaks, Milton 11 points.
Seeing Harden like this, everyone sighed that the 33-year-old Harden is really no longer the No. 1 defender in the league. As we all know, Harden has been the league's number one point guard over the past many years. When he played for the Rockets, the team he led was once the Warriors' biggest opponent and the team he feared the most.
But this season, Harden averaged only 21.9 points per game. Basically, he has become a burden to the team. For the 76ers, who are determined to compete for the championship, it is time to consider giving up Harden. If Harden and Embiid continue to focus on the championship, there is almost no possibility.
