Harden scored 4 points! Is this a cliff-like slide? Or is it deliberately messing around in order to force the palace?

Original/Oxygen is a metro

On Feb. 3, the Nets played back-to-back against the Kings. This is an opportunity for them to stop their slump, after all, four of the previous five-game losing streaks have been against strong teams with super giants or title contending ranks: James and Davis Lakers, Jokic's Nuggets, Curry and Thompson's Warriors, Paul and Booker's Suns. But in the first game of the game, against the Timberwolves, they also lost. The opponents in this game are average, the last seven consecutive defeats, the third to the bottom of the West, because it is the longest team in the league to miss the playoffs at this stage, so there is no system.

Harden continued to play this game, but his performance was very bad, 37 minutes, only 2 of 11 shooting, 4 points, 8 boards, 12 assists and 6 turnovers. 37 minutes, which is the standard superstar playing time, 4 points, but may not even be as good as the basic salary veteran's data.

Because Harden only scored 4 points and had assists in doubles, it was very similar to his late stages with the Rockets. Harden didn't want to attack at the time, frantically assisting, and eventually forcing the Rockets to trade him. However, because Harden is indeed in a slump this season because of the new version of fouls, his performance is also considered normal. So, Harden, who only scored 4 points, is it a cliff-like decline, or is it deliberately messed up in order to force the palace?

This is really difficult to judge, and perhaps it can only be verified after a while, when something big really happens. However, the Nets do have serious locker room problems at this stage, in this case, the Nets may not be able to win the championship even if Durant returns. Irving's performance is also not good, as a part-time player, he is hurting cohesion and chemistry, and his state is also average, 5 of 15 shooting, 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks, and the second half is particularly poor, 1 of 7, 2 points.

Because Harden's level and ceiling are higher than Irving's, especially in this game, only 4 points, Harden is also focused. According to statistics, Harden has not scored a lower score than 4 points in a game with at least 30 minutes of playing time. The last time Harden scored four points in a healthy condition was in 2009, when he was just debuting with the Thunder.

For the Nets' six-game losing streak, Harden said: Not worried at all, the Nets lineup is incomplete now. I've said enough that I've been able to just, keep talking. Irving, who scored 14 points, was also questioned, saying: "Often say chicken soup for the soul, too much is useless." Opponents face the Nets and playoff-level confrontations. Still, the Kings haven't played the playoffs in a long time. Nash was interviewed and asked a sharp question: Are the players disappointed in themselves? Nash gave a negative answer. The current Nets lack a leader, Nash is too soft, Durant is sensitive, Irving is too willful, Harden lacks mental attributes, and there is no player like the boss.
