Nba, James Harden took Philadelphia. Embiid: ‘We are indefensible’

James Harden’s adventure could not have started better with the 76ers jersey. After weeks with the mood in Brooklyn, the trade in Philadelphia has transformed the player who in no time seems to be the real Harden back and not the dull stand-in often seen in the Nets jersey this season. “I feel good, as I have not felt for a long time – says the 76ers player after the triple double against New York – I have yet to find the best condition, considering the fact that I have been away for some time, but I am very satisfied how my body is responding ”.

A dominant Harden the one seen in New York, able to put his teammates in rhythm and find the basket whenever Philadelphia needed it. 29 points, 16 assists and an excellent feeling with Embiid, just what coach Rivers hoped and imagined by the puppeteer from Philadelphia, and always “Hardenian”, Daryl Morey. Harden, in order not to miss anything, also shows that he wants to try to do him on a defensive level, keeping his concentration high and closing in the end with five steals. “I try to always be in the best position – underlines the former Nets -. The important thing is to be aggressive even on a defensive level, my recoveries have started our counter-attack and for us this is important ”. Precisely on the defensive approach Harden is incensed by Doc Rivers. “He did a little bit of everything but especially his recoveries stand out – the Philadelphia coach underlines – James played really well and led the team with great leadership”.

A Harden like that naturally can only make Philadelphia fans dream. His pick and roll with Embiid, who can now legitimately aim for the MVP prize this season, ultimately turned out to be absolutely indefensible for the New York defense, and the chemistry between the two already looks excellent. “We are indefensible – laughs at the end of the match a Joel Embiid capable of going to the bezel at Garden 27 times -. The opponents have to make difficult decisions, or they try to double us, and then our teammates have comfortable shots, or it becomes very difficult to mark us ”. Really unsurpassable, especially with an arbitration meter like that of the match against the Knicks. “Did you see how many times you went to the bezel? – Maxey tries to provoke him – Incredible … “” It happens when they keep making you foul – Embiid closes – in fact they should have whistled more … “
