Sometimes supernatural, sometimes super ghost! How to define Harden? Probably the biggest problem of the season. You say he can't do it, the key moment to two shots really let the opponent can't stand it, the Heat is the biggest victim, Harden did not join the 76ers before, it is also a good winning rate of the team, but since Harden joined, it seems that he has an invisible magic, every time when Harden rests, the 76ers seem to be less able to play, although the current Harden can not play gorgeous data, but it is very strange, the opponent always likes to let people go to the bag Harden, obviously there is no tough way to score, But harden suffered treatment is still superstar level, how to define Harden in the end? Today Xiao Feng will come to talk to you.
First of all, Xiao Feng wants to summarize it in one sentence, that is, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, many people feel that Harden's scoring ability has declined, the dominance is insufficient, when all the doubts buried Harden, Harden used a nearly perfect performance to make the doubters shut up, many people feel that after such a long downturn, Harden should always erupt, and even Harden said that he really did not have much change. On the surface, Harden has not changed much, but a question makes us wonder, since Harden's dominance has declined, why should the opponent still wrap Harden? With less than 20 points per game, why should they be targeted by their opponents?
Fans always like to use Harden during the Rockets to see his performance, but as everyone knows, when Harden left the Rockets, he was already determined to change himself. It's not that he doesn't want to be the leader of the team, but he especially understands his own weaknesses, the Rockets have proved Harden's ceiling in 8 years, so he chose the Nets and later the 76ers, subjectively, Harden gave up his obsession with the ball and wanted to be a traditional point guard.
Fans' expectations of Harden are too high, do not know that Harden has already had his own subjective judgment, down the playoffs 10 games, Harden's average shots per game is only 13.6 times, the number of shots is not even as good as Maxi and Harris, only can only rank fourth in the team, is the injury affecting Harden? Or Harden's own subjective will does not want to attack at all, in fact, Xiao Feng feels that Harden's ideas are more biased towards the latter. In the two games embiid was absent, Harden also did not increase the number of shots he made, which was the best time for Harden to make a name for himself, but Harden did not want to change his basketball thinking.
In contrast, Harden's assists are increasing, what kind of player is the most terrible? Not players like Embiid who have offensive threats, but people like Harden and Doncic, no one dares to put it on the offensive end, and most importantly, they have the ability to connect teams, and it can even be said that people like Harden, he is not fighting alone, there is actually a team behind him, which is the most powerful thing about Harden. Next we talk about Harden's performance in the last four games, when he is on the court, the team's offensive efficiency is 11.9, defensive efficiency is 107, efficiency is 4.9, and when Harden is off, the team's offensive efficiency is only 91.1, defensive efficiency is only 119.7, efficiency is only -28.6, and the gap between Harden's presence and absence is clear at a glance.
Since Harden is so strong, why has Harden never been able to achieve his wishes? As said at the beginning, every time hardened, he was self-depraved, Xiao Feng felt that there were three reasons: First, Harden was a particularly cautious player, Artest's elbow made Harden give up the dunk, last year's injury always made Harden have a shadow, although Harden repeatedly said that his injury has healed, but Xiao Feng feels that it has caused a great impact on Harden's mentality; secondly, Harden's luck is not too good, every time it reaches a critical moment, there will always be accidents. For example, Paul's injury in the Western Conference Finals, and then last season, Irving's injury, Harden had a chance, but God let him regret leaving again and again; in the end, Xiao Feng felt that Harden was not falling, but deliberately changing his playing style, trying to prolong his career, compared to the previous kind of charge, it is obvious that this style of play can save physical strength and reduce the damage to the body, now Harden is only 32 years old, he still has many years to rush to the championship.
In fact, in the eyes of our ordinary people, we hope to see the state of Harden at the beginning, but Xiao Feng feels that there should be no too high requirements for him, he is already trying to change himself, but we are still living in the shadow of the past, and even sometimes in Xiao Feng's view, the current Harden is more perfect and more mature.
Today's topic is here, the above views are only Xiao Feng's personal views, please forgive me for the deficiencies.
