Today the NBA all-official announced the 2022 Cleveland All-Star East-West Starter List, James was elected the vote king, from the first period behind Curry more than 500,000 votes ranked 4th, to the final 9128231 votes, elected the All-Star vote king, James's huge popularity and influence is still unmatched. Only Durant is an All-Star starter on the Nets, who will serve as the Eastern Conference captain. Harden is deeply sorry that in the Eastern Conference backcourt voted by fans, he is not as popular as DeRozan, Trae Young and LaVine, ranking fourth. Harden ranks third in the Eastern Conference backcourt, media fourth, and fourth overall in the Eastern Conference backcourt.
Harden is indeed embarrassed, Durant has an injury, Irving does not participate in home games, has been a single core to lead the team many times this season, and the Nets' record is also good, but unfortunately did not make an All-Star start. In fact, at the level of fan voting, after the announcement of the third phase of the list, the gap between Harden and Trae Young, who is second in the Eastern Conference backcourt, is not large, but unfortunately, the counterattack is not completed.
Harden was also "sympathized" by many people, saying that after giving up the comfortable life of the Rockets and defecting to the Nets in the East, the result was "four empty": two consecutive years did not enter the All-Star start, the championship did not, and the scoring and assist kings did not get.
Previously, Harden was a proper All-Star starter during the Rockets' time, although the competition in the West was fiercer than in the East, but Harden relied on his performance and influence in the Rockets, and the All-Star starter was still no problem. At the same time, he also won the MVP and the scoring king during the Rockets period, and after coming to the Nets, because of the transformation, the score was not as explosive as before.
After the transformation of the Nets, Harden is more about passing and organization, last season, Harden is likely to win the assist king, but he lost to his former teammates, who played for the Wizards at the time, and did not have the opportunity to assist the king.
As for the lack of a championship, Harden came to the Nets' first season, met the later championship Bucks in the Eastern Conference semifinals, after seven major battles, regrettably lost, during which Harden almost dragged a broken leg on the field to fight, but regrettably the second round of the playoffs was out.
Therefore, many people lament that Harden who came to the Nets is indeed too miserable, and there is no lot of work, and the result is that the All-Star starter, the championship, the scoring king and the assist king are gone, which can be called the four big empty.
