Willie Green: The NBA didn't lose, but Harden was not only able to rest but also raise points at the free throw line

Live Bar November 13, NBA regular season, pelicans lost 112-120 to the Nets. After the game, Pelicans head coach Willie Green was interviewed by the media.

Commenting on the team's performance, Green said: "Every player we were here tonight responded, and a situation like this is difficult to be missing a major general. The NBA didn't lose. As proud of the performance of the players, I was disappointed by the fact that we had lost the game. That's not going to change. ”

Green said of the defense against basketball star Harden: "We tried to use different defensive strategies to get him to pass the ball out. What he did to stand on the free throw line was brilliant. So the key is to force him to make difficult shots without letting him stand at the free throw line. And tonight, he went down and attacked, with open arms, and we reached out. That's why he can not only rest, but also get more points. ”

In this game, Harden played well, playing 38 minutes, shooting 11 of 18, including 6 of 10 three-pointers, 11 of 15 free throws, and recorded a game-high 39 points plus 5 boards, 12 assists, 1 break and 1 cap.
