In the game against Philadelphia, Harden once again ushered in an outbreak, this game he started 40 minutes, 9 of 20 shooting to get 33 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists triple-double, in addition to two steals to score. Although the Nets eventually lost to Philadelphia, Harden's performance in this game was very eye-catching, and he performed very well in terms of attacking and defending and driving teammates. The Nets lost this game, and Harden's performance is still commendable.
In the past three games, Harden's performance has been phenomenal, in the game against the Lakers, Harden handed over a triple-double of 36 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, and since this game, Harden has exploded continuously. In the last game, Harden had a quasi-triple-double of 39 points, 8 rebounds and 15 assists on 15-of-25 shooting, leading the team to a game victory. Coupled with the 33 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists against Philadelphia, Harden has scored 30+ points in three consecutive games, which is the first time he has done this this season.
It is worth mentioning that Harden not only scored 30+ points in 3 consecutive games, his assists also exceeded 10 times, he also became the first player in the history of the Nets to get at least 30 points and 10 assists in 3 consecutive games, in the past three games, Harden set a record in the history of the Nets, the performance can be described as very eye-catching.
It can be said that after playing the Lakers, Harden found himself, he got rid of the previous poor state, and found his former state of playing in the game. Not only has his personal shooting efficiency improved significantly, but he can also drive other teammates to play well, make a big package in the game, and also lead the team to victory. This is harden we know best, and after the downturn at the beginning of the season, Harden has found himself in the past three games, and the familiar Harden has returned.
I believe many fans know that at the beginning of the new season, after the league implemented a new foul tactic, Harden's performance was somewhat disappointing, he was trapped by the new rules, he did not play well enough in the game, there were consecutive situations where the number of points in a single game was less than 20 points, the number of personal assists was also small, and the number of mistakes was many. His crotch-pulling performance during the game also led to the Nets' unsatisfactory record at the beginning of the season.
At that time, many people thought that after the new rules were introduced in the league, Harden's role would be greatly reduced, and it would be difficult to play the same performance as before, after all, Harden was a player who relied heavily on free throws. Fortunately, after Harden adapted to the new rules of the league, he changed his way of playing and made his offense more aggressive, and in the past three games, Harden found his previous way of playing, adapted to the new rules of the league, and was still able to play a full performance in the game.
From this point of view, we can also see that Harden is currently very adapted to the new rules of the league, and in the game, he has regained himself and opened his MVP mode. What the Nets lack this season is Harden's performance, and if he can continue his current performance, then the team is still very promising to impact the championship, after all, Harden, who is fully committed, can bring great improvement to the team.
