On December 12, Beijing time, the Nets played against the Pistons, and it was surprising that Harden did not appear in the player roster, and then learned that Nash had missed a game this season in order to rest him. After all, the Pistons are a fishy team, and the star grant is injured again, without Harden, the Nets can also win to keep the first place in the East, not to mention the big boss Durant. It is worth mentioning that In the first 26 games of this season, Harden maintained full attendance, playing a total of 942 minutes, the highest playing time in the team, while Durant's total playing time was 871 minutes, ranking second in the team, and Harden took the first place in the team.
One thing to say, if it was in the Rockets, Harden's state would have been rested long ago, and he would not have waited until after 26 games. Harden forced an injury in the playoffs last season, and after losing to the Bucks, he finally couldn't help it, saying in an interview that he suffered a hamstring strain, which shows that Harden's desire for the championship has far exceeded that of previous seasons. In the offseason, Harden did not spend much time training because of his injury, so that his personal state at the beginning of the season was very sluggish, he did not dare to engage in physical confrontation at all, and the offense could only float up on the outside line, and as the game deepened, he slowly returned to the right track, which was really too easy. This season, Ha has averaged 20.8 points, 7.9 rebounds and 9.6 assists in 36 minutes, which is still good. Although the efficiency is a bit low.
Of course, Harden became the Nets' labor model, the fundamental reason is that the Nets suffered an injury wave, Clarkston rested 18 games, Joha only played 14 games, and Durant also took 2 games off. In addition, Griffin missed 8 games, Thomas missed 7, Johnson missed 7 and Millsap also missed 5. The three bosses Owen did not play a single game because of the vaccine incident. In such a situation, Nash also has no choice but to pin his hopes on Durant and Harden. It's reassuring to know that the Nets are missing, and they're currently in first place in the East with an 18-8 record.
When the Nets encountered such a situation, the fans expressed sympathy, but some people had ill intentions and added fuel to Irving's affair, which was really uncomfortable! According to the latest news, Sir Stockton said in an interview with the media: "I have great respect for Owen's behavior, he has done a lot of things in this regard, I must pay tribute to him!" If I were still playing in the NBA, I wouldn't have taken any risks to play games, and I would have resisted mandatory vaccinations with Irving. In addition, he said that Irving is a brave man who dares to work on what he thinks is right. I have to say that Stockton does not have waist pain when he stands and talks, and if you are still jazzing, you will have obediently accepted the vaccine. You and Malone are no less obsessed with championships than anyone else, just meet the powerful Jordan.
