For bearded Harden, there is no need to defend himself now. He is already one of the strongest players in the NBA, the leader of the NBA Rockets, the scoring champion in the regular season and the MVP player!
However, today, there are still many fans who don't like Harden's playing style, and even once thought Harden was a pseudo-giant. He believes that Harden's score depends largely on free throws, and he will only touch porcelain in the game and make a foul to win the free throws. This idea is somewhat one-sided and even outdated. Now Harden has completed the transformation, and Beard has mastered various scoring methods!
The first is defense. Harden's defense was criticized in the first two seasons of joining the Rockets, and was called "marking defense" by everyone! Secondly, Harden's technical characteristics at that time. At that time, the beard was really alone. The most common is a breakthrough or a foul shot. When breaking through, the arm stretched out and the defender couldn't hit it. There are a lot of fake moves when shooting, deliberately jumping to the defender, causing shooting fouls!
These are the fans' basic impressions of Harden. Because Harden played like this in his early years, fans thought Harden would foul! But now the league has a new definition of shooting foul, Harden has also improved his own characteristics, improved defense, and more tricks on the offensive end!
Intentional fans have been calculating for Harden for a long time. Even excluding free throws, Harden is still the current league scoring champion. Some people think that Harden still scored by free throws, mainly because Beard really made a lot of free throws, which also shows that Harden caused more injuries. Although the league has changed the rules of shooting foul, Harden can still cause injuries and win free throws!
Secondly, Harden's current attack is not a kaleidoscope, but he has completed the transformation. These techniques, such as the dry pull three-pointer, the backward step three-pointer, the European step layup, etc., are all handy by Harden, and they are handy in the game. Harden is no longer the "king of touching porcelain"! He is a real MVP now, and there is still hope for re-election!
There are many people who are popular. Harden's performance was excellent. There are many people who like rockets and harden, and there are also many people who don't like rockets and harden! So no matter how great a player is, there are different descriptions in different people's mouths, but these have no effect on the player himself. It is the most important thing to play every game well in the way you are best at!
