113-107, the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Wizards in the new season. The 76ers won quite thrillingly, squandering a 13-point lead in the first half, and was behind by more than 10 points in the third quarter, and finally relying on the final quarter to win the Wizards without risk. The elder Rivers' first victory after joining the 76ers was not easy. After the game, he publicly criticized a player-T-Harris.
When talking about T-Harris, the old Rivers said bluntly: Harris just didn’t make a goal. I think he was too hesitant to play. In his last breakthrough, he got a free throw, but he should have Complete the dunk. We will go back to watch the video and he will get better.
Obviously, Rivers thinks Harris should play harder and harder. In this campaign, T-Harris played 3 of 13 minutes in 31 minutes and scored 10 points, 8 rebounds, 0 assists and 0 steals, 0 of 4 three-pointers, plus or minus -7, and his annual salary this season is as high as 31 million US dollars.
The 76ers struggled to reverse and win. Embiid scored 29 points and 14 rebounds. The outside line did not provide him with enough support. Curry Jr. made 1 of 5 three points, Danny Green made 0 of 4 three points, and T-Harris made 4 three points. In 0, the three starting three-pointers only have 1 in 13. Is Embiid suffering?
Among them, T-Harris is the highest in value and annual salary. Curry and Danny Green are just the role players of the team. Harris, who is worth $180 million in 5 years and has an annual salary of $31 million, is the core player, but their identities and statistics are very different. No wonder Rivers coached in the first game. Can't help but criticize him.
In the first round of last season’s playoffs, the 76ers were swept out by the Celtics 0-4. T-Harris averaged 15.8 points per game in four games, but the shooting percentage was only 38% and the three-point shooting percentage. Only 13% was the culprit for the 76ers being swept out. Whether the 76ers can make a breakthrough in the playoffs this season, Harris is still the key factor, and it is also the X factor. Can he provide the double emperor with support that meets his worth?
T-Harris’s best season so far in his career was playing for the Clippers in 2018. The head coach is the old Rivers. He averaged 20.9 points per game and made 43% from three-pointers. Now that the two meet again in Philadelphia, can Old Rivers activate Harris again?
