On October 25, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Nets lost to the Hornets at home 95-111, not to mention the fact that the Nets gathered a large number of protesters who supported Irving's non-vaccination at home before the game, and now the Nets' entire team's run-in, it seems that they really need Irving!
95-111, the Nets lost to the Hornets, and Harden only had 15 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists in 33 minutes, and now has only 15 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists in this game.
Harden was cut because of the new rules? Statistics show that Harden has only stood on the free throw line 9 times this season, averaging 3 free throws per game in 3 games, while Harden averaged 11.8 free throws per game at his peak. Also, in the 20-21 season, Harden also averaged 7.3 free throws, and in the past 8 seasons, Harden has averaged 7 free throws per game in double figures.
When it comes to the impact of the new rules of foul making in the league on himself, Harden also said: "In the end, this is still basketball, foul is foul, for me I just have to keep moving forward." ”
Of course, Harden also expressed his dissatisfaction, and when asked whether he had become a typical representative of the new rules of foul making in this league, James Harden said: "Yes, but these can't be my excuses, because I'm not the kind of person who will complain." It's just that there is already such a stigma, which is really very difficult. ”
Remember 27 points on 2-of-9 shooting in those years? Perhaps with the implementation of the new rules, we will no longer see Harden 27 points on 9-of-2 shooting. Now Irving can't come back, the Nets didn't start well, Adu slashed in succession, Harden you have to refuel.
