The 76ers lost to the Nets 100-129, the first defeat of Harden's 76ers career, and it just happened to face his old club.
In today's game, Harden performed badly, playing 28 minutes, shooting only 3 of 17, including 3 of 7 from three points, 10 of 2 points, only 11 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and 4 turnovers, the total win-loss value was -30, tied with Embiid as the lowest in the game.
Harden's performance at the three-point line today was passable, shooting 7 and hitting 3, and with these 3 three-pointers, Harden also surpassed Reggie Miller to rise to third in the all-time three-point total shooting list, behind Ray Allen and Curry. For Harden, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Ray Allen and hit more than 3,000 three-pointers in the future.
Harden was okay off the three-point line today, but it was bad inside the three-point line, scoring only two points on the free throw line, 0-of-10 from two-point range, and not a single one was scored. As a result, Harden also became the second player of the season to make 0 of 10 two-pointers in a single game, and Westbrook has had such a performance before.
Unlike Westbrook, Harden's shooting is still excellent, so the performance of 10-of-0 two-pointers is indeed very rare. But it is in such a game against the old club, Harden played such a bad performance, which can only show that Harden's mentality is not good enough, and the key game is easy to pull the crotch.
Although Harden also played a very bad performance after a fiasco today, harden also reached another series of milestones in today's game, that is, surpassing Wade in career scoring and rising to the 30th place in history.
For Harden, it still makes sense to surpass Wade in total points, because Wade is also the top of the quarterback position, one of the best quarterbacks in history, and many even think that Harden is likely to surpass Wade. Of course, Harden has indeed surpassed Wade in scoring, but in terms of career achievements, I am afraid that he cannot surpass Wade.
Although Harden has MVP in hand and 3 scoring kings, but there is no championship and MVP, and Wade championship and FMVP have it, and there are 3 championships, although Wade has not won MVP, but the career achievement is still higher than Harden's. If Harden wants to surpass Wade, it is not enough to surpass the total score, at least after winning the championship and FMVP.
