In order to maintain the legitimacy of the exodus, many people believe that Harden's departure is related to too much work at the Nets. From the point of view of the statement, this sentence is not wrong, but it is limited to the statement.
We have written many articles mentioning that Harden's departure has little to do with too much work with the Nets, and has a lot to do with the fact that his ideas are not being carried out.
Harden's appeal is that the Nets build the Nets according to the Rockets' team-building strategy, that is, to build a system centered on themselves, which was denied by Durant and Nash. Durant and Nash reject Harden's idea for a reason. Both of them came out of the Warriors' philosophy, and the Warriors' philosophy is the most advanced concept in the basketball world.
Multi-conduction and guaranteed super-giant play is a basketball truth that can never be wrong. But Harden's set of magic balls in the Rockets is a set of ideas that go crazy. The Rockets' transaction at that time was "Taobao thinking", getting the best personnel at the lowest cost, essentially hoarding cheap shooters, the Nets at the moment, can they get so many shooters?
The Rockets' set, which in fact proved wrong, could only help Harden play good stats without any changes in key games, which was not in line with the Nets' season goals. When the Nets introduced Harden, it was to use Harden as a tactical bearer, and Harden was afraid to rank third in terms of status. But Harden is still like Durant and Irving, a senior asset of the team.
In the Stormy days of the Nets, they called on Harden to carry the big flag, which is their desire and where Harden fans are dissatisfied with the Nets. Because of Irving's absence, some people feel that Harden's appearance is an extra effort, which is jealousy. Everyone has also seen the stupidity of New York's epidemic prevention policy, and we can't praise a stupid policy because we don't like one person, nor can we ignore our own problems because of an Owen.
Harden, at the Nets, faces a contradiction between declining ability and the team's high expectations.
To shift this contradiction more to other directions, Harden has the hope of leaving this contradiction and preventing it from expanding. In fact, Harden did the same, but a series of problems caused by this decline in ability joined the new team with his body.
That is to say, no matter what kind of defense Harden is formed by the fan base, his own feelings are really there, and the state affects the prospects in Philadelphia, which is a very critical issue. Coming to Philadelphia, we saw Harden go through a few honeymoon periods and immediately get stuck in the mud of old problems.
In the past three games, Philadelphia's big losses, narrow wins and losses have been directly related to Harden.
Harden was a little too hard, but he forgot a lot of skills.
Harden came to Philadelphia, there was a feeling of wanting to prove himself all the time, there were a lot of singles, there was a lot of passing hesitation, which was caused by too many ideas and could not switch freely. Harden also said after the game that he was balancing passing and offense.
Every organizational defender must go through this selection process, but when caught up in this choice, there must be something wrong with the team or itself.
Harden is faced with a team environment that can no longer be the same as the Rockets model, and he must dedicate more pure singles. But sadly, in the past three years, Harden's skills have been seriously reduced, and there are no longer so many tricks of attack. Now his breakthrough is staggering, relying on people weakly, and he will be hatped every time he throws a basket.
This is clearly a decline in capability.
Second, Rivers' expression of Harden is to see more aggression. That is to say, he is not very satisfied with Harden's current state, and it also shows once again that this team calls for Harden's efficient scoring more than the so-called transmission.
The transmission of the organizational defender and the individual attack have always complemented each other, and the combination of use has the greatest effect, many years ago Paul also faced this problem, and Rondo, Wei Shao and others who could not shoot were directly facing many difficulties. Harden's hesitation here is likely to indicate that he has lost some confidence in his scoring ability.
There are a lot of Harden three-point empty slots, and these pictures are almost similar to Rondo. How does this work?
Admittedly, Harden is facing difficulties today, which is not a short-term difficulty, but Philadelphia has never been low in his requirements. Similar to the Nets, Philadelphia currently needs Harden's score because there are not many people on the team who can really score, and once someone stands up and scores more, then the team needs Harden's conduction.
Therefore, whether it is Philadelphia or the Nets, the requirements for Harden are actually the same, they are quite high, they need to score and assist, and they also need to switch freely and efficiently at any time. It's just that Philadelphia doesn't have an Irving, and you can't find a prominent problem to skip Harden's own struggles.
Can you say that Philadelphia is also using Harden to death?
It can be said that with Harden's previous jianghu legends, it is normal for the team to use him in a large area. A superstar is not a pension superstar, pension superstars may be reused, Harden naturally can not be relaxed. Now that there is nothing outside the Philadelphia stadium, Harden can only ask inward, break the heart demon, and start from the basics.
We see that Embiid also wants Harden to attack, the team structure of the double core, the double core attack at the same time is the best. At the same time, the offense will produce a linkage, which will be invincible, but Harden has a tendency to deliberately give Embiid the ball. Judging from the course of the game, although Embiid scored high points, he was surrounded and suppressed at a critical moment, which was not good for the team. Therefore, Harden can't escape, and he must restart the true color of the scoring king.
Embiid's desire to win the championship is much higher than Durant, Irving, and even higher than Harden himself.
This is still a completely unshirkable responsibility similar to that of the Nets, as can be seen from the playing time. Harden's playing time at the Nets and in Philadelphia was the same, both 37 minutes. Harden didn't get any offload.
Those who say that Nash has no tactics and will only Harden will soon find out that Rivers has no tactics, so this statement is unreliable. The contradiction between Harden's ability and ability status quo is the root of the problem and the source of Nash's misunderstanding.
