Kevin Durant, Kyrie Owen and Lamarcus Aldridge have all lifted the league's health and safety agreement, which means they are about to return to the field. However, what really makes the Nets happy is the recovery of James Harden, facing the Lakers and Clippers in two games, Harden has a total of 75 points, 18 rebounds and 25 assists, leading the team to two consecutive wins and consolidating the top position in the East. Fans who have watched the game will have this intuitive feeling: Harden is faster than before. In fact, this is the key to Harden's recovery, and his physical condition is better than before.
This season, Harley can get 22 points, 8 rebounds and 9.8 assists, shooting 41.5% from the field and 34.3% from three-point range, affected by his body and rules, Harden's state has ups and downs, and he has never found his own state. But after a break from December 23 to December 26, Harden's physical condition has improved significantly, and his breakthrough data can explain the problem.
This season, Ha has broken through 15.8 times on the field, 5.5 shots with breakthroughs, 2.6 hits, and the shooting rate is 47.4%, which is still a relatively good result, after all, the Nets mainly rely on Harden to break through, and his breakthrough points are also the key to the rest of the Nets players to complete the shot. In the past two games, Ha has broken through 24 times, used the breakthrough to shoot 11.5 times, hit 6 times, and the shooting rate reached 52.2%.
From the data, it is not difficult to see how well Harden has performed in the past two games:
First, there are more breakthroughs. Averaging 15.8 breakthroughs per game, ranking ninth in the league, it is already a good report card, but in the past two games, Hasha has averaged 24 breakthroughs, more than the league's most breakthroughs per game Shea Gilgels Alexander's 23.8. Alexander is the representative of young players, the offense is basically based on breakthroughs, Harden's number of breakthroughs can reach Alexander's level is actually his excellent physical condition.
Second, the output and quality of the offense have been improved. The Nets actually need Harden's breakthrough points, but only breaking through the ball is far from enough, after all, the feel of the shooter will also have problems, so Harden's breakthrough ability is also crucial. In the past two games, Harden has significantly increased or even doubled the number of shots after the breakthrough, and the efficiency has not declined due to a significant increase in the number of shots, which shows that the output and quality of the attack after Harden's breakthrough can be guaranteed, which is extremely rare.
Slightly different from Durant and Irving, Harden is a great two-game guard who can both score individually and tandem the team offense, which is where the Nets need Harden. Now harden's breakthrough is obvious, this is the Nets coach Steve Nash most want to see the place, to maintain this state, the Nets' prospects will be better and better, Durant, Irving and other people will be less and less pressure. Of course, I still hope that Nash can arrange the player's playing time reasonably and try to avoid unnecessary injuries.
