In the first round of the NBA playoffs, basically 3 games have been played, except for the Nets and Celtics, which are slower or 2-0. Two sets of disparities were born, the 76ers 3-0 Raptors and the Warriors 3-0 Nuggets, which was not expected by any expert before the game. It can be said that they can already consider the opponents in the next round, and there is no suspense in the promotion.
The guards of the two teams, Curry and Harden, have always been compared because they are both players of the class of 2009, and they have both won MVP and have played each other many times in the playoffs. With 77 points on 47 shooting and 55 points on 39 shooting, and only three games in the playoffs, the gap between Harden and Curry came out
Harden's transfer to the 76ers has indeed brought a lot of changes to the team, 3 games his statistics are 22 points, 5 rebounds and 14 assists, 14 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, 19 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, the total shot is 16 of 39 shots, and the 41% shooting rate is 55 points. But Harden is very critical to the team's tandem, he is the Raptors' focus on the defense, but can always crack the defense to send exquisite assists, 30 assists in 3 games, the league second only to Paul. Led by Harden, Maxi averaged 26.7 points per game and Harris averaged 19+9 per game. The 76ers have become a Big Four lineup, and Harden always has a way to make his teammates around him better.
And Harden changed his attitude and spared no effort at the defensive end to drive the whole team. G2 Although Harden's offensive performance is not good, 3 steals and 2 blocks are quite successful. G3 games are glued, the 76ers rely on the kill to win, Harden spelled out 6 fouls, in order to win the ball to give everything.
Curry was unexpected, surprisingly, 3 games were substitutes, and there has never been a superstar in history who is willing to take the initiative to come on as a substitute at the peak age, even if it is because of his initial recovery from injury, but also makes people have to admire his dedication to the team: when he finds it easier to win on the bench, he does not care how he uses it. Let's not discuss the performance, let's say that Curry is the most unsheet superstar in history, and no one should object to it, right?
In 3 games, Curry's stats were 16 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, 34 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and 27 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. On total, he shot 26-of-47 from the field and scored 77 points on 55.3 percent shooting. Curry has become a completely unrestricted scoring point for the Nuggets, and on the bench, he does not have to care about the team system, he can completely release his offensive firepower, G2 game, 23 minutes to get 34 points is the best proof.
In the past, Harden was the top scorer, often scoring 40 or 50 points and leading the team to win on his own. Now Harden has indeed slipped, no longer sharp in scoring, but with assists and defense to help the team. Curry is getting older and more demon, winning the scoring king last year and not reducing the offense in the playoffs this year. Now the teams they lead are also the strong teams in the East and west, if they can meet in the finals, how many fans want to see this script?
