On November 18, Beijing time, the NBA held 11 midseason tournament matchups, and many players played wonderful performances, especially Harden scored 24 points with only 11 shots, and played a difficult 3+1 quasi-kill in the final moments of the game to help the team lock up the victory. But even this performance still didn't make it to the best of the day, because he met the rejuvenated James.
In the Clippers vs Rockets game, Clippers star James Harden played an amazing performance, he started the game for 34 minutes, 8 of 11 shots, 6 of 7 two-point shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and efficiently cut 24 points, 9 boards, 7 assists and 3 turnovers, with a true shooting rate of 85.2%. In the game, Harden's performance on the offensive end can be called inexplicable, especially in the final 6 seconds before the end of the game with a step-back shot at the top of the arc outside the three-point line to kill the game's 3+1, and the plus/minus on the court is as high as +21.
In this game, Wei Shao took the initiative to ask to play as a substitute, which perfectly released all of Harden's abilities, and Harden, who had the ball in hand, became the highly efficient ball-holding core, and all kinds of step-back steps and emergency stop mid-range jumpers were simply back to the top. George and Leonard also played well under the control of Harden, of which Xiaoka started for 36 minutes, shot 8 of 16, and scored 26 points, 8 boards, 2 assists, 5 steals, 3 turnovers and 1 block; George started the game for 40 minutes, shot 8 of 22, scored 23 points, 8 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals, 3 turnovers and 1 block, the Clippers triumvirate complemented each other, and led the Clippers to a narrow 106-100 victory over the Rockets, ending their own 6-game losing streak and ending the opponent's 6-game winning streak.
Harden's stunning performance has been the best in many game days, but he probably couldn't today, because he bumped into the rejuvenated Lakers supergiant - James. In the Lakers VS Trail Blazers game, James played an amazing performance, he started the game for 34 minutes, shot 13 of 22, exploded 35 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists, 2 steals and 3 turnovers, with a game-high plus/minus of +18, leading the Lakers to a 107-95 victory.
Before the game, many professional analysts believed that the Lakers might be upset, after all, the Lakers' schedule of 4 days and 3 games was a bit too strong for the 38-year-old Zhan, who had just returned from injury, but James lost the suspense of the outcome from the moment the game began. In the first quarter, Lao Zhan shot 4 of 6 and scored 9 points and 2 assists, leading the Lakers to a 30-23 lead. In the third quarter, Lao Zhan exerted his strength again, and in the dilemma of no one scoring in the team, he scored 12 points in a single quarter, helping the Lakers maintain the advantage of the game, and sent 7 assists in a single quarter in the last quarter to completely revitalize the whole team.

In the Suns vs. Jazz game, Durant performed well, shooting 15 of 22, 6 of 8 three-pointers, and slashing 38 points, 9 boards, 9 assists and 1 turnover. Durant was very efficient in this game, and hit a key 45-degree three-pointer in the fourth quarter to help the Suns lead the opponent by 4 points in the final moments, but the plus/minus was only -8, missing the best. Booker, the Suns' other supergiant, also had an eye-catching performance, scoring 24 points, 4 rebounds and 15 assists, and the duo combined to lead the Suns to a 131-128 victory over the Jazz.
