Talk about Harden? In the 76ers victory over the Lone Ranger, Harden played another 42 minutes, and harden played 42 minutes in the last game against the Cavaliers, and after two games, Rivers' excessive overdraft of Harden actually has a great hidden danger. For a long time, many fans feel that Harden's data has declined, and the state is far less than the level of the peak, but in Xiao Feng's view, the current Harden is more mature, and such a Harden is more worthy of respect.
What is Supergiant? Many fans feel that Harden does not deserve such a title, has not proved himself, and even often weak at key moments, such Harden has a body of data, and has not proved his ability, so it can be said, after all, Harden has not had too many hard achievements, but if Harden does not deserve the title of super giant, Xiao Feng feels unfair, after all, Harden's performance has proved his value.
During the Rockets period, Harden was at odds with the players, squeezed out Howard, angrily took away Paul, parted ways with Westbrook, even if Harden was equipped with Durant and Irving, there was no chemical reaction, so many failures, many people will impose such a crime on Harden, but Xiao Feng will be unfair to Harden today, take everyone to know the most real Harden.
Let's start with the Rockets period, since Harden joined, the Rockets have never missed the playoffs, this is Harden's credit, and even Harden proved to us with performance that he is a player with his own system, any lineup in his hands can guarantee the lower limit of the playoffs, and at that time Harden's mentor is D'Antoni, many people have seen Harden's achievements, I don't know how much effort he has put in behind him, 35.4 minutes is the lowest season for Harden to play, and even three seasons, Harden's playing time has been maintained at more than 38 minutes, and most importantly, Harden has hardly had any major injuries, and has maintained a super high number of appearances, and the fans at that time actually worried about Harden, and even some fans felt that D'Antoni's use of Harden was too high.
And Harden himself? Basically every year is improving, from the quarterback to the organizational guard, until the final all-round warrior, Harden has been growing silently, and even every year is developing his own new skills, from retreating steps, to the exploration of organizational ability, and finally small throws, Harden is creating surprises for fans almost every season. The reason why Harden left the Rockets, Xiao Feng felt that Harden just wanted to find a new platform to prove his ability.
As for the Nets, the dependence on Harden is more serious, after Harden joined the Nets, in fact, in the deliberate weakening of their own positioning, the reduction of the number of shots, the decline in data did not affect Harden's state, until Irving frequently engaged in things, Durant but also had a succession of injuries, and finally Harden had to take on more important responsibilities, unfortunately, Harden met D'Antoni's personal disciple this time: Nash. His use of Harden was more than enough, finally, Harden was overwhelmed and injured, harden missed the best opportunity of his career after the injury, in the first half of the season, in the absence of Durant and Irving, Harden's performance was questioned, and finally Harden chose to leave again, is it Harden's fault? Xiao Feng feels that this is not the case, Harden's desire for the championship is far more than Durant and Irving, there is no chance to show it, this is not Harden's style.
So Harden came to the 76ers, thought this was a new beginning, at least in the first few games Harden experienced a happiness that has never been, there are MVP candidate Embiid, as well as the rising star Maxi, Harden does not need to put more responsibility on himself, unfortunately, after a few games, the 76ers ushered in the failure, and Rivers had to give Harden more playing time, in the last game to narrowly beat the Cavaliers, Harden's plus-minus was as high as +18, the key to the team's victory, In the game to win the Lone Ranger, Harden continued his excellent performance, although the plus-minus value is not the highest, Embiid's excellent performance has never been able to pull away the leading advantage, until Harden played, only to completely open the point difference, which is the embodiment of Harden's value.
Unfortunately, in these two games Harden played 42 minutes of playing time, Rivers is not Nash, he hopes to protect Harden, but Harden's ability is too strong, so that he dare not take Harden off the court, to put it bluntly, even Rivers is suffering from Harden dependence, in fact, this is not a manifestation of Harden's ability? This is the value of super giant, I don't know if everyone still thinks that Harden is not a super giant?
Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
