Six consecutive defeats, averaging 18 points per game! The Nets lost, Harden could not escape the blame, without KD he could not support the team

The NBA regular season continued, and the Nets' game against the Kings officially began. In the end, after four quarters of the game, the Kings won 112-101 against the Nets. Admittedly, the Nets' record in recent times has been very poor. After losing to the Kings, the Nets are now six straight losers. After this six-game losing streak, the Nets' current record is 29-22, ranking sixth in the East. I believe that there must be fans who see here and ask, why did the Nets fail? What's going on with them lately? Who is responsible for the Nets' loss? In fact, the answer to this question is very simple, that is, Harden failed to support the team during Durant's injury.

Perhaps, there are many fans who do not agree with my answer. However, as the saying goes, "data doesn't lie". Next, take a look at the data handed over by Harden in the last 4 games. I believe that after reading the data, everyone will understand why The Editor said that Harden should be responsible.

Harden played 35 minutes against the Timberwolves on Jan. 24, shooting 4-of-13 from the field, including 1-of-4 from three-point range, with 13 points, five rebounds and 13 assists. He shot 30.8 percent from the field and 25 percent from three-point range.

On January 26, harden played 35 minutes against lakers, shooting 11 of 24, including 2 of 7 three-pointers, and had a triple-double of 33 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. He shot 45.8 percent from the field and 28.6 percent from three-point range.

On Feb. 2, Harden played 37 minutes against the Suns, shooting 6-of-19, including 3-of-8 from three-point range, with 22 points, five rebounds and 10 assists. He shot 31.6 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from three-point range.

On Feb. 3, Harden played 37 minutes against the Kings, shooting 2-of-11, including 0-of-5 from three-point range, and had four points, seven rebounds, and 12 assists. Shooting 18.2 percent from the field and 0 percent from three-point range.

In the last 4 games, Ha has only scored 16 points, and the shooting rate is more than 40% in addition to the game against the Lakers, and the shooting rate of the rest of the games can be described by the four words "miserable". In particular, the shooting rate of the three-point shot can be described as "cold in the hand". What is more worth mentioning is that Harden has made a total of 22 mistakes in the last 4 games (6, 6, 4 and 6 in 4 games). To put it bluntly, just by looking at this data, we can feel how sluggish Harden has played in these games, and we can also feel how bad Harden has played in the last 4 games.

After looking at the data, let's talk about Harden's performance on the court in the last 4 games. Offensively, Harden doesn't have absolute speed and it's hard to easily burst into the basket. Even if he can break through to the basket, it is difficult for Harden to create a foul in the new game to stand on the free throw line. In addition to the lack of breakthrough power, Harden's shooting feel on the outside line is also delayed in finding the rhythm, and the iconic retreat shooting of the past is now even more inaccurate. Due to the lack of strength in the offense, Harden has not done a good job in combing the offense. The reason is that Harden does not have offensive dominance, so it is difficult for him to attract the bag clip, and without the bag net, there will be no empty players, so Harden's passing often makes mistakes.

In addition to the lack of strength on the offensive end, Harden on the defensive end is also very weak. I believe that everyone knows very well that hardened now that his lateral movement has become very slow, and his explosive power is not as strong as before. To this end, we can often see the scene of Harden being stepped over, and we can often see the scene of Harden's defense not being timely. To put it bluntly, Harden is really not a qualified defensive player on the defensive end.

I believe that the fans will be very confused when they see here. Some fans will even ask, why did Harden play so well when Durant was there? As soon as Durant was injured, Harden was so powerless? In fact, the answer to this question is very simple, that is, Harden has never been able to prove his ability to lead the team, harden has not been a qualified leader. Whether it was in the Rockets era or now the Nets, Harden has always been a "icing on the cake" player rather than a "charcoal in the snow" player.
