” Tobias, you don’t put power when you attack the circle. This was the message from Doc Rivers to his strong winger at halftime when the Sixers moved to the Bulls floor. Tobias Harris had started this meeting with a timid 0/2 on penalties in the first quarter and showed signs of hesitation.
His coach appreciated the reaction of his player who, in the third quarter, signed an authoritarian “reverse dunk” on Javonte Green. ” I told him to attack with power, go up and finish despite the contact, that’s what he did. That’s why he pointed to the bench. He was told to do the same each time. It’s something he was doing last year and somehow he’s doing it less this year.“
More aggressive towards the circle, the 29-year-old was content with a single 3-point attempt to finish the game with 23 points (10/15), 8 rebounds and 5 assists in 39 minutes. The match of the perfect lieutenant came in support of a still stratospheric Joel Embiid (40 points and 10 rebounds).
In shape before the deadline
His performance confirms his good form at the moment. For seven matches, he has posted more than 22 points on average, with excellent percentages (59% including 55% from afar), 7 rebounds and 4 assists. Enough to dissuade the 76ers, tempted to get rid of his huge contract offered in the summer of 2019, to transfer him with Ben Simmons?
Answer by next Thursday, transfer deadline. In a recent interview with Sixers Wire, the power forward shared his desire to stay in Philadelphia for a while. ” You never know obviously what will happen, but I believe we have a good enough team to move forward “, he assured.
This is all the more important for him, who has rarely known stability since the start of his career. Another game played with the 76ers and he will beat his “record” of games played with the same franchise (205 games with the Magic). At the Pistons, Clippers or Bucks, he never stayed more than three seasons.
” I was frustrated”he let go, remembering the last (from the Clippers to the 76ers) of his five career transfers, “but the more I was transferred, the more I understood the business aspect of the game, from a contract or value point of view. It sucks to move, but ultimately, since there are so few NBA players that can’t be traded, that’s part of the game. “A game that may not be over for him…
