On December 18, it was reported that in the just-concluded NBA regular season, the Clippers defeated the Pacers 151-127 away and won 8 consecutive victories. In this game, Harden scored 35 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists, and scored 21 points in the final quarter to kill the opponent. After the game, Harden lay on the ground and cheered, and after his teammates pulled him up, Deng Ge yelled at the camera in celebration.
In this game, Harden exploded in the final quarter, only playing 6 minutes in a single quarter, shooting 7 of 8, and scoring 21 points directly to take the game away. Harden also set a new personal single-quarter scoring high in the final quarter, up from 20 points (3 times).
In the whole game, Harden played 28 minutes and 21 seconds, shooting 12 of 16, 8 of 11 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and a personal season (Clippers career) high of 35 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, with a plus/minus of +32.
Statistically, this is the 22nd time in Harden's career that he has hit at least eight three-pointers in a single game, ranking fourth in NBA history, behind Curry (79), Lillard (29) and Klay (24).
After Harden played the best game of his Clippers career, when the game was over, Harden lay down directly on the court and put on a big word.
His teammates stepped forward to pat him on the chest to congratulate him, and Theis stepped directly on Harden's hand with one foot, hurting Deng.
Then, the Clippers teammates dragged Harden off the ground.
Then, Harden let out a roar at the camera,
This roar should be for 76ers management and general manager Morey, who refused to offer Harden a contract extension with a maximum salary this offseason, breaking his promise when he joined. And Harden also directly bombarded Morey during his trip to China, and officially turned his face with the Clippers management.
In this regard, netizens have said, "Let's vent! vent all the unhappiness in your heart!!! you are James Harden!"
