Why has Harden's status dropped so much? In addition to injuries and rules, everyone may have misunderstood him

Embiid is still in doubt, and the person most affected by this injury is ardenne.

Embiid always has the possibility of going to war, but it is estimated that he will not fight, and the concussion protection procedure is relatively strict. But Embiid watched his home team fall so far behind, and his heart must not have tasted it. Again, Philadelphia's current effect still depends on Harden.

Unexpectedly, Harden left the Nets and instead encountered the same problems as the Nets.

So can Harden do it?

A lot of people today have defined Harden as no, and I think that's arbitrary. People who often read my articles know that here we pay attention to making the best use of talents and pay attention to the use of space for discussing the use of stars in the best configuration. If the star's team is well configured for the star, and the star can still dominate, then I think he is still spiritual.

Is Harden okay? I think he can still, it just takes a certain amount of time.

As we have said many times before, players are not robots, their state may be affected by psychological and emotional and environmental factors in various aspects, and Harden's poor performance has his historical reasons.

At the Nets, the team expected Harden to lead the team through difficult times, but Harden expected the team to play his tactics when the Rockets, both sides stood on their own positions, which could not be more correct. With Harden's healthy, well-rounded Nets, definitely the league's number one team, there's no doubt about that, but Harden chose to leave, not without patience, but in this team he lost control.

We analyze his psychology based on Harden's performance over the years, maybe he doesn't have much desire for a championship, definitely not as eager as Jordan, Kobe, James, or even less eager than Durant, Harden wants more, probably to become a warlord, not interested in changing the dynasty.

Harden wanted to get ahead as a child, and he got all the honors in the Rockets, which for him, may have reached the height of his youth dream, and the championship is not something that must be pursued. Harden's presence in the Rockets is a process of constantly concentrating the ball and the team constantly trusting him, but when the team brought in Paul, the management's ideas were more abundant.

It's impossible for a team with Harden all year round not to imagine a championship, that's for sure. Before the introduction of Paul, the Rockets' approach to reinforcement was that new players were as satisfied as possible with Harden playing magic balls, while having good reviews in the corresponding data analysis. To put it bluntly, this is a kind of Taobao thinking, not the thinking of building a team to win the championship in an atmospheric way.

At this time, the concept of the team and Harden is the most consistent.

And after Paul arrived, we also saw the current Paul, a player with strong control ability and competitive spirit, and he couldn't really like the rocket's team culture. It seems that the Rockets have reached a certain height, reaching a height where they can beat the Warriors, but their misalignment is doomed to failure, and the gap in the concept of Harden and Paul in the later period can be clearly discerned from the action and eyes on the court.

Harden doesn't want to win too much, and that's the form of desire he's shown in the Rockets for years. So after a long time of comfort, where is the contradiction point? The paradox is that since playing Paul, the Rockets have more ideas, first to win the championship, and then to rebuild. So they got a lot of messy people at once and broke up the magic ball lineup.

At this point, Harden's control is completely lost. It's in two ways: first, he loses control of the number one position; second, he loses control of using the magic ball lineup to perform well.

Wall is also a person with a lot of personality in the first position, Harden has just experienced a conflict with Paul's concept of the number one position, how can he get along with Wall again? Wall is more like a Number One position than Harden, and the two have the ball problem is bound to arise, and even if it doesn't, Harden is unlikely to hold the ball for a long time.

At the same time, after several games of verification, the offensive and defensive capabilities of the new Rocket lineup have dropped too much, and they are completely unfamiliar with each other and do not maintain each other, which seriously affects Harden's own state and output.

After the news that Harden wanted to leave was exposed, because the Nets wanted to win the championship more, they tried their best to make a three-way trade to get Harden, at this time, Arden had been wrapped up in the sound of the fans winning the championship. Everyone thinks that Harden is here to win the championship, that is self-righteousness, this is the expectation to wrap up the facts. After Harden left the Nets, the essential reason was exposed, that is, because Durant and Nash denied Harden's idea.

What does Harden think?

That was to get the Nets to hit him with the Rockets' set of magic balls, which Was rejected by Nash and Durant.

According to the first round of the Nets' playoffs this season, Durant rejected Harden because he wanted to be "James", he wanted to be the core of the ball, he wanted to be the absolute protagonist, and he thought he was fully qualified. Then, he naturally will not let Harden continue his habits in the Rockets at the Nets, and Harden does not have a championship, and Durant's mood is obviously much higher than Harden.0

So, we've seen Harden and the Nets fall apart, with Durant's arrogance and Harden's insistence on comfort.

After Harden reached the 76ers, he made several speeches to express his desire for the control of the first position, and revealed that he could not score as he did in the Rockets, and after Embiid's injury, Harden said that he would wait for the second person to stand up, rather than saying that he would stand up.

But since he came to the 76ers, fans' expectations for him have risen, as if Harden is a man who is determined to compete for the title, and ignores Harden's essential pursuit. The first thing he pursues is always to comfortably control the number one.

The 76ers' demands on Harden are no less than those of the Nets, and head coach Rivers and Embiid have both said that Harden is more aggressive, but we see that Harden is completely intrusive, at least not as aggressive as everyone expects. Why is that?

Or because whether it is the Nets or the 76ers, the lineup is not a structure that can support Harden more aggression, without such a structure, Harden's technically unincorporated characteristics will be amplified, and he himself cannot find a comfortable attack rhythm. Harden has been brilliant, but he is not a superstar with the skills of Jordan and Kobe Bryant, enough to support any singles. It is not fair to ask him to produce Joe and Ko-style aggression.

In addition, the change of the penalty rule also greatly limits Harden's sense of rhythm, which is a considerable factor and must not be ignored.

Both of these points, Harden himself deeply understand.

At the same time, Harden, who came to the 76ers, after a year or two of stumbling, finally stopped clinging to being the absolute boss, he knew that Philadelphia was Embiid's team, willing to play for Embiid, and it was absolutely impossible to produce a similar story to Paul's time.

From the body management, it can also be seen that Harden's heart as a warlord may also be lost, and he wants to play safely and steadily in the first position, which is not wrong.

Is Harden OK? Of course, it's OK, but it needs to be physically restored, the heart is improved, the lineup is more suitable, and the last two points are really very difficult.
