But I'm not surprised! Because before Xiaoka really announced his absence, Harden actually knew that Xiaoka couldn't play, and Harden also started his own post-game practice, listening to Zhou Ling'an's reporter: Harden practiced climbing stairs every day after the game a few days before the Mavericks and Clippers started to strengthen his legs! At that time, I knew that Harden, who scored 45 points against the Celtics last season, was expected to come back! He would transform into a Rocket-den role!

In the first half of the game between the two sides, as expected, Harden broke out! hit three three-pointers in the first quarter, scored 11 points in a single quarter, and then made another three-pointer in the second quarter, two plus one at a time, and a three-point foul, and scored 20 points, 1 rebound, 4 assists, and 2 blocks in the first half, integrating offense and defense. In the second half, Harden also staged a wonderful shot of Jones scoring three points, and also cooperated with Wei Shao to detonate the whole court. The second brother and the third brother were happy in the first half! The two scored 30 points against the whole team of the Mavericks!

In this game, several veterans played the demeanor of veterans, among which Harden is old, and his state has declined! But that is compared with his peak has declined, and the number of single-handedly Doncic hits on the court is the best proof, doesn't it mean that Doncic has surpassed the peak Harden? In today's league where Shaw always favors young people, Harden and George's performance tonight kept the last glory of the veterans, saluted them, and finally congratulated the Clippers on defeating the Mavericks with a 1-0 lead, Harden 28 points, 2 rebounds, 8 assists + 6 three-pointers!
