In Thursday night's game, Hart's performance in the first three quarters was nothing short of spectacular. Although he scored just nine points, he was eye-catching on the rebounding line, grabbing 14 rebounds. However, Hart's performance wasn't all there was to the game, what was more remarkable was his relentless effort on the pitch and his tenacity in dealing with adversity.

Tom Sibodeau, as the head coach of the Knicks, has attracted much attention for the team's rotation arrangement. Hart has previously spoken publicly about the heavy workload he endures in Sibodu's rotation. At one point during the game, Hart was substituted and had a break of almost five minutes. However, when he stepped onto the court again, he showed great fighting power, leading the team to a 10-2 offensive wave at the end of the third quarter. This fearlessness and never-say-die attitude is the best example of Hart's true sportsmanship.

For Hart, he sees it as a reality when faced with Sibodu's rotation. However, he also understands that as a professional basketball player, their duty is to play basketball. In his opinion, compared to those who wake up at 6 a.m. every day and work 12 hours, they are fortunate enough to be able to play such a wonderful sport. Therefore, no matter what kind of difficulties and burdens he faces, Hart always maintains the right mindset and focus.

So, both as a player and as a person, Josh Hart deserves our respect and praise. His hard work and fighting spirit is not only a performance of a game, but also a true belief and pursuit of sportsmanship.
