The NBA regular season continues, with a focus battle, with the Brooklyn Nets hosting the Los Angeles Lakers. In the first quarter, James Harden showed a strong offensive desire, he was in a hot state, 16 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in a single quarter, 1 person alone against the Lakers Big Four, looking a little sad.
At present, the Nets are in third place in the East with 29 wins and 17 losses, because it is a home game, so Kyrie Irving can not play, coupled with the injured Kevin Durant, the Big Three only Harden is left to support. And the Lakers, 23-24 in eighth place in the West, ushered in the comeback of Anthony Davis, plus James, Westbrook and Anthony, and the Big Four are together again.
The situation presented in the first quarter is that the big four are fighting Harden, and it can even be said that the Lakers beat Harden alone. Almost all of the Nets' points are related to Harden, either directly from him or his assists, which is definitely a person carrying the team forward.
Harden understands his responsibilities very well, so he does not do what he thinks, he comes up and carries the team on his shoulders, the offensive desire is extremely strong, he must cherish every minute and second of his presence, and strive to establish an advantage for the team, otherwise when he goes off, the Nets may be dangerous, after all, the single core leads the team. However, the wishes were good, but unfortunately Harden played the first quarter, bombarding 16 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, still unable to stop the team from getting into trouble, and they lost 8 points 25-33.
Mainly because the Lakers on the other side are too average, more blossoming, and everyone can score points. The Lakers got the highest scores for LeBron James, who contributed 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, plus thick eyebrows with 6 points and 3 blocks, Anthony and Munch 5 points, Westbrook with 4 points, and everyone was a soldier. A leaf can know autumn, today the Nets are dangerous.
