In response to the continued downturn of basketball star Harden since the beginning of the game, NBA famous commentator Smith talked about his views, he believes that Harden is not adapted to the new rules, and everyone should not be too nervous.
In the new season, the Brooklyn Nets are very unsmooth, Irving can not participate in the game because of refusal to vaccinate, another giant Harden continues to slump, in the offensive end of the delay, only Durant played normally, resulting in the team's record of two wins and two losses temporarily ranked tenth in the East.
So far, Harden has averaged 17.3 points, 7 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game this season, and at first glance the data is still very good. Yes, this data is still possible if it is put on the average star, but because he is Harden, once can go to heaven, omnipotent Harden, so the fans and friends are not calm, all kinds of speculation is raging: what Harden is depressed because it has passed the peak period, what Harden is depressed because he is too fat, what Harden is depressed is not compatible with the net system... In short, various voices are talking about it.
Some fans and friends have found Harden's previous statistics, in the past, Harden also made 16 shots, scoring 35+ or 40+, but now he can get a small dozen points. In fact, the problem lies here, Harden's original 16 shots, the penalty alone can be 20+, plus the number of hits on 35+ is too easy. Now that the league has changed the rules and deliberately increased the physical confrontation between players, many of the previous shots and penalties are now not blown, so it is understandable that Harden's scoring has dropped significantly.
Now it is not only Harden who is affected by the new rules, but also stars such as Doncic and Trae Young. In this way, everyone does not have to be nervous, give Harden a little time, and he will definitely adjust it.
