Teacher Yang Yi frankly said that Harden was slack, which was "very unharden"!
As Teacher Yang Yi said, Harden actually appeared in the Nets to score single digits in a single game and free throws 0 times, which is incompatible with the labels of three scoring kings and historical foul experts, so that fans feel that this is "not Harden". What is Harden familiar to us? It was a super scorer who once averaged 38 points in the regular season, a basket singles god who made fouls as easy as probing for things, a supergiant who played the skill of retreating three points, and now he was a little slack and unwilling to do his best, which was indeed a turning point in his career.
The pressure of public opinion is too great, and Harden is "in Cao Ying's heart in Han"
Irving's willingness to play away games and the team's management treating him so tolerantly has allowed him to enjoy the treatment of a savior, while Harden's role as a father and a mother in the Big Three has been very harshly questioned and questioned by fans, and the pressure on his shoulders has increased invisibly, which is contrary to his original intention of leaving Houston and moving to Brooklyn. Harden chose to join the Nets in order to impact the championship in a more relaxed way, but now he has encountered unprecedented offensive and defensive pressure and public criticism because of Durant's absence and Irving's "part-time", as well as the team's unreasonable lineup configuration.
So Harden fell into the "transaction rumors", and his slack performance also reflected his state of "being in Cao Ying's heart in Han", and once again stood at the "crossroads" of life.
It seems that the little couple will eventually break up, or go their separate ways to start again
It was not long before the two sides came to the situation of "breaking up":
Woj reported that the 76ers reached a 5-for-2 deal, specifically: 76ers sent Ben Simmons, Curry Jr., Drummond, two first-round picks (protected in 2022, 2027), got Harden and Millsap.
In this way, Harden and the Nets, such as the little couple who are about to break up, have finally been relieved, and both sides are a sublimation, and they have not made a fuss after all. The reason for this "contradiction gap" stems from the fact that the two sides do not understand and cannot say: Harden feels that he has not played easily at the Nets, but is facing greater pressure; the Nets management believes that Harden's technical characteristics are incompatible with the team's tactical system, and is also worried about his physical health. Thus was born all kinds of "distrust", which may be the fuse of separation.
Bad luck depends on each other, and the Nets can be expected
"Misfortune and happiness depend on blessings and misfortunes", the advantages and disadvantages of all things can be transformed, depending on how you look at it. Although the Nets lost the top ball-handling creator like Harden, they also got the top unlimited defensive defenders, outside shooters, interior rebounding masters, and draft picks.
We also know that the Nets' problems are the lack of outside defense quality, as well as the average interior air defense capability, which is a weakness that the team has not been able to solve for a long time. The management is a bit rigid in the reinforcements, all are experienced veterans, Ade, Millsap, Mills are the same, the team does not have such a fierce role as warrior Green, and Durant and Irving are not very good at expressing feelings and inspiring teammates. However, Harden's deal solves many of the team's problems, and after capturing Simmons, he can emulate the Warriors troika to achieve dynastic hegemony.
Heaven loved Nash, and then sent the "top big", and the basket grid forest was born
Why? Curry Jr.'s projection ability can improve the quality of the Nets' three-point shots, and the arrival of Zhuang Shen can make the team's rebounding protection ability to a higher level, and the arrival of Simmons who can really improve the Nets' offensive and defensive combat strength is the arrival. You know, Simmons as a champion, his physical talent and basketball IQ is undoubtedly superior, in the 20-21 season of the best defensive player of the year rankings, he has a top point guard passing vision, in the Nets can fully play the role of warrior Green.
Due to the ability of Durant and Irving, two top superstars, to ignore the defensive environment, simmons' presence does not interfere much with Duo's scoring, but will make his scoring easier and more diverse. When the team protects the rebound through defense, Simmons can quickly dribble the ball to the front court, use his excellent passing vision to pass the ball to Durant, Irving, Joe Ha, Mills, Curry Jr. and other shooters in the empty position, and can also attack the basket himself; if he is in the position of the half attack, he can also stand at the top of the arc to "serve" and send assists to Durant who run without the ball.
When the Nets are in a defensive state, Simmons can infinitely change defenses to dismantle the opponent's blocking tactics, Durant as the last barrier on the inside line to complete the defense, the two will be the most terrifying inner defensive combination of the small ball lineup. Simmons' strategic significance in the Nets can be compared to Green's importance to the Warriors, coupled with Irving and Durant's strong no-ball ability, the Nets are enough to play a "Warrior troika" offensive and defensive effect. Nash, who used to be the Warriors' shooting consultant, will be very familiar with such a combination.
Given another opportunity to emulate the Warriors, Nash should not fail
The experiment of the three giants of Duhaou was not successful, nash as a manager is naturally to blame, and the failure to establish a complete offensive and defensive tactical system is also a major reason. But God still took great care of Nash, and once again handed him a top player game number, don't mess it up. If you can be ashamed and then brave, use the new three giants and emulate the warriors, the dynasty hegemony is just around the corner.
