On April 27, 2022, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, in the series between Philadelphia and the Raptors, Philadelphia first led by a big score of 3:0, and when everyone thought they would successfully advance to the next round, they suddenly had problems, and the Raptors pulled back two consecutive games in the fourth and fifth games, and the big score also became 3:2!
In these five playoff games, Ha appeared in 40.2 minutes, and was able to get 18.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 9.2 assists, although the data was still not comparable to when he was in the Rockets, but at least in terms of organizing the team's offense, he still had a very good state!
For Harden, their biggest problem is that they don't feel good in the playoffs, and in the playoffs this season, his shooting percentage is only 37%, and his three-point shooting rate is 38%, which is not so efficient. According to US media statistics, in the past five games, Harden has made more mistakes than the number of shots in the past five games, hit 3 goals in the third game, but made 5 mistakes, and hit 4 goals in the fifth game, making 5 mistakes!
In addition to mistakes, Harden has a low two-point shooting rate in playoff games, and of all 15 two-pointers in this year's playoffs, Harden's shooting percentage is 36.8%, ranking second from the bottom of all players, just higher than Russell's 25.8% shooting rate. And in this series, Harden's 10 throws have all been lost, and you must know that the throw is one of Harden's best scoring skills!
It can be said that in this round of the series of games, Harden's play did not reach the top, although it is very good in terms of assists, but it is difficult to satisfy the fans in terms of personal offense, if the team wants to make a breakthrough, then Harden must play his own offensive state!
