Today’s news attracted the eyes of the NBA. Harden was serious about returning to the Rockets, and the Rockets were ready to chase them this summer. Before that, Harden did not forget his commitment to 76 people and would seriously help 76 people compete for the championship this season. How likely does Harden have to wear the championship ring back to Houston depends on how likely is 76 people to win this year.
Harden was serious about 76 people and determined to win the championship for 76 people. Today, there was another hot war, and enbide was out of battle due to injury. In the face of this former nemesis, Harden led a group of substitutes, and unexpectedly led up to 22 points in the second section, leading up to 20 + at most. This was an eye-opening game for NBA and Philadelphia. Harden played it, proving his attitude towards winning the championship for 76 people.
The rocket is also serious about Harden. Sam Amick and Kelly Iko of The Athletic revealed today that when Harden was about to leave for basketable nets, The rocket boss Fertita said to him, “You are always welcome back.” Harden made it very clear that he showed signs of coming back, especially in the summer of 2023. Houston will pursue Harden at that time, and Harden is as serious about returning as he left. In addition, there is news that Harden likes young Rockets players, especially Jay Green, “as long as he continues to work hard, as he grows up, he will play one game, I learned more one season at a time.”
Amick said Philadelphia could give Harden a contract of up to 0.272 billion dollars in five years, while other teams (including rockets) could only give up to 0.201 billion in four years. The idea of 76 people is that they are not worried that the team will lose Harden in summer. Only Philadelphia can give harden the two things he needs most and cherishes most: the chance to compete for the Championship and the maximum income.
But if Harden chooses rockets, these two things are not necessarily his most cherished, because rockets cannot provide either. Harden returned to the rocket and worked hard with young players all day. As an MVP, he could suppress the rocket’s egg sub bunch of raw melons, but the champion would not think about it. As for the high salary, Harden really wanted, but first, would 76 people give him this contract (Harden will be 38 years old in 5 years), and secondly, go to the rocket to get the four-year contract, wait until the money is received.
Harden’s expectation for 76 people is only this season, and Maxi is the top priority. This third-grade student has made one footprint a year. This season, he has scored 19.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, field goal percentage, 45.2%, and 38.4% hit three points, scoring a career high, the usage rate (25.6%) is also the highest. Today’s maxi is the most promising rookie among the 76 candidates in recent years and has a pivotal position in the team. Harden is also helpful to Maxi’s growth. With his help, Maxi has launched an impact on the award of the best sixth person.
Harden’s joining is also a great help to enbide. Last season, enbide scored 30.6 points in an average game and also scored 11.7 rebounds 4.2 assists 1.1 steals 1.5 cap. Enbide climbed the peak again this season, hitting 33 points, 10.4 rebounds per game, 4.1 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.6 steals, cap hits, 53.2% hit, and the average score and hit rate hit a new high. His offensive efficiency and real field goal percentage are the highest, with the usage rate (37.2) being the same as last season and the efficiency value (30.5) ranking second after last season.
Nowadays, the attack and defense efficiency of 76 people is in the 8th and 7th respectively, and together with Celts and Knights, they are the only active brigades in the top 10 in the whole league. The pace of 76 people is slow (the 26th league in 97.2 rounds), the effective hit rate (55.5%) ranks 10th, and the 6th goal difference (+3.7 points), the ratio of average hits/shots in the field is the highest in the league (24.8%).
76 people are in the eastern district like a wolf, and there is no room for any loss. If the Eastern playoff game is based on the current situation, 76 people will be the third in the eastern semi-finals, and 76 people will lose 3 games against the Celtics this season. Even against the Bucks, 76 men won 1 and lost 2 Bucks this season, and then they won against the Celtics again. Even if you rush out of the east side, there is another West Side team waiting for the finals (the big probability is the Sun).
There are two unstable factors for 76 people in the playoffs in recent years, one is Rivers and the other is Harden. Rivers coached 76 people for three seasons, and the first two playoff games fell in the eastern semi-finals (one 3-4 enemy Eagle, one 2-4 enemy heat), and his military dispatch often caused criticism from all walks of life. Harden played for 76 people in the playoffs last time, with only 18.2 points, 6.3 rebounds and 7 assists against the Heat. The hit rate was only%, which was worse than the regular season.
Whether 76 people can win the championship this season seems to be a relatively small event, and Harden’s stay is not affected by it. After Harden left, whether the 76 people could compete again with the combination of enbide + maxi, or lead another Outside Star to assist enbide to compete, it depends on the vertical and horizontal of the 76 people.
