In fact, Deng Fang knows best how powerful Harden is.
It was not uncommon for Deng Fang to see Harden killing everyone in the Rockets in later generations.
If it weren't for the limitations of the system, and if the Thunder weren't a playoff team, then Deng Fang would have traded Harden long ago.
Because of Harden's powerful scoring ability, later generations of bearded fans often came into contact with Curry.
Even if he performed well in this game, there are still many Harden fans chasing Curry and provoking:
It doesn't matter how good Curry is, it's just because his teammates are better!
If Curry's teammates are given to Harden, Harden can still lead the team to achieve Curry's results!
Can Curry be as good as Harden when he lets loose on his own?
Even in terms of physical strength, Curry is much worse than Harden!
Without Deng Fang, Curry would be more than one step behind Harden!
Curry's success depends entirely on luck. If he and Harden switched positions, Harden would definitely do better than Curry!
…
At the post-match press conference, facing Deng Fang, a group of provocative reporters asked the same question:
"Who do you think is better, Curry or Harden?"
"They are both amazing!" Deng Fang replied: "Both of them have their own superhuman qualities, so they cannot be compared in general."
"Then what's so great about Harden?"
"What makes Harden great is that he is physically strong and has a strong awareness of drawing fouls." Deng Fang replied: "It is for this reason that Harden's one-on-one ability is better than Curry."
One-on-ones are more demanding on the body, so there is no problem that Harden is better than Curry in one-on-ones.
"Then what's so great about Curry?"
"Curry's three-point threat is too great." Deng Fang replied: "Curry's three-point threat makes it easier for him to break through. More importantly, because the three-point threat is great, Curry can give him a shot with or without the ball.
Harden can't compare to Curry in terms of the team's ability to help and threaten without the ball."
"You mean Curry is suitable to be a shooter?"
"Of course not!" Deng Fang replied: "Curry can be a shooter and a very good shooter. This is something Harden can't do, but Curry is far more than a shooter. His ability to lead a team is better than
Harden is not bad at all, even better."
“What about the pass awareness aspect?”
"Harden's passing awareness is quite good, but he also makes a lot of mistakes. His assist-to-turnover ratio is basically around 2:1." Deng Fang replied: "The same goes for Curry. Thanks to his huge three-point threat
When Curry passes the ball, his teammates often have more space, which is very beneficial for him to assist his teammates. However, many of Curry's passes are risky, so there are many mistakes."
"Then whose assist ability is better?"
"No distinction is made." Deng Fang replied: "One relies on his singles ability to attract double teams and assists his teammates to score, and the other relies on his three-point threat to attract double teams and assist his teammates to score. The methods are different, but the results are the same."
"But Harden had two more assists than Curry today!"
"That's because Harden plays more time!" Deng Fang replied: "Besides, although Harden has two more assists, he also has one more turnover! So the assist-to-turnover ratio between the two is
almost the same."
"Then who has the best leadership ability?"
"It depends on how you put it. If you have to draw a conclusion, Curry is the one with the best leadership ability!" Deng Fang replied.
"Didn't you say that Harden's singles ability is stronger? Why is Harden's team leadership ability not as good as Curry's?"
"Is the ability to lead a team the same as the ability to play in singles?" Deng Fang shook his head and said: "No matter how strong your ability in singles is, no matter how good your personal data is, if you can't lead the team to victory or win a championship, your ability to lead the team won't be much better!
Competitive sports ultimately depend on wins and losses!"
"How do you know that Harden, who is strong in singles, is not good at leading a team? Could it be that he is unlucky and his teammates are not as good as Curry?"
"Of course teammates will have an impact, and this is also the biggest difference between Curry and Harden." Deng Fang replied: "If it is a bad team, then Harden's leadership ability will be stronger, but if his teammates are all good, Curry will lead the team."
His ability is better than Harden."
"Why is Harden so good at leading a bad team?"
"Because Harden has a strong body, strong isolation ability, and many fouls, so he is not afraid of double attacks." Deng Fang replied: "Even if the opponent is double attack, Harden can get to the free throw line and score by making fouls.
A little Curry is not as good as Harden."
"Then why is it that when his teammates are good enough, Harden is not as good as Curry in leading the team?"
"Because Harden's ceiling is not as high as Curry's!" Deng Fang replied: "To put it bluntly, Harden is only suitable for leading a bad team to increase statistics. If he is asked to be the boss of a strong team, he will not be able to do it well.
"
"Why?"
"Because of Harden's style of play and personality." Deng Fang replied: "Harden must have the ball in his hands. If he becomes the boss, most of the ball rights must be given to him. This style of play is good for the team.
But the disadvantages for strong teams are also great.”
After a pause, Deng Fang continued: "Strong teams often have more than one core. The second and third leaders of the team also need a certain amount of ball rights. Harden's style of play is difficult to cooperate with another star, let alone the third player.
Three stars!
But Curry is different. Curry can play with or without the ball. Even if Curry doesn't have the ball in his hand, he rarely stops, but keeps running. Because of Curry's powerful three-pointers.
Threat, as long as he stands outside the three-point line, opponents will not dare to ignore him. So there is no coordination problem when Curry cooperates with any kind of star. This is something Harden can't do!"
"Then what if Harden also actively runs and plays off the ball more?"
"Then he's not Harden!" Deng Fang said with a smile: "Harden values his own data very much. He won't run without the ball in his hands! Besides, do you think that no matter who he is, he can become a Harden as long as he runs more?
Curry? Have you ever seen Harden come out and catch the ball without the ball?"
"It seems there really isn't."
"That's right!" Deng Fang replied: "I have the ball and I have the data! This is Harden's motto, and this is also the biggest difference between him and Curry! From this point of view, Curry and Harden are better
, the real data of the two are almost the same, even Curry’s real data is better!”
"Real data? What is this?"
"It's the contribution to the team!" Deng Fang replied: "For example, assists, Harden is dominant in the number of assists you see, but after Curry passed many balls, his teammates did not score directly, but formed a
He got a second assist, which is rare for Harden!"
"Why?"
"Because Curry doesn't care about personal data as much as Harden does!" Deng Fang replied: "Harden's assists are very similar to James's. They don't let the hawk out when they see the rabbit, and don't pass the ball unless his teammates are absolutely open. Of course, sometimes he makes the pass.
In the end, when there is no time, he will throw it to his teammates, so that his teammates can only take action and cannot pass the ball. And as long as he throws it in, he can get an assist!"
After a pause, Deng Fang added: "So on the surface, Curry's personal statistics are less than those of Harden and James, and they are not that beautiful, but in fact, Curry's contribution to the team is not as good as that of Harden and LeBron.
Less, even more! Because they have good statistics, even if Harden and LeBron lose, they can say that the team has lost, but he himself has not lost!"
After listening to Deng Fang's words, the reporters present nodded their heads.
Everyone has been in the NBA circle for many years, so we can still see this clearly.
"These are all problems with Harden's playing style. So what's wrong with Harden's character? We rarely see Harden get angry on the court. His temper has always been good!"
"Harden's character is indeed not that irritable and looks very Buddhist, but it is precisely for this reason that it is difficult for Harden to lead a team to victory and win the championship!"
"Why?"
"Because in his heart Harden is not that eager to win. You can't tell it in the regular season. When it comes time to fight hard in the playoffs, Harden should stretch his hips!" Deng Fang said: "Of course, no matter how Buddhist Harden is, in the future
His ability and possession of the ball are still enough to get good enough data, but his teammates can't see in him the ferocity and hard work that a super giant should have! This is the biggest difference between him and Curry!"
"You mean Curry is more ruthless than Harden? Harder than Harden? It seems that Harden is much more vicious than Curry!"
"That's the appearance you're talking about!" Deng Fang said with a smile: "Curry may look thin, but he has a perseverance and a heart that refuses to admit defeat! Harden has all the skills, but he doesn't have this.
!”
"Is it appropriate for you to say that Harden and Curry are suitable?"
"Yes." Deng Fang replied: "Harden is suitable to be the second in command, and Curry is suitable to be the leader of a team! Leave it to Harden to score in singles, and leave it to Curry to lead the team forward.
inside!"
After a pause, Deng Fang added: "Let's put it this way, Harden's lower limit is very high, but his upper limit is not high. Curry's lower limit is lower than Harden, but his upper limit is much higher than Harden! If we take the championship as the standard
, based on victory, then Curry is a better leader!"
…
I have to say that the Warriors and Curry mean traffic!
As long as it's related to the Warriors, as long as it's related to Curry, it means a lot of attention!
Even a substitute player like Harden, who played an outstanding game against the Warriors due to injuries to Durant and Westbrook, has also attracted the attention of the entire league and is constantly being compared and discussed with Curry among fans.
!
This fully illustrates how popular the Warriors are!
News also came out after the game that Durant and Westbrook didn't have major problems and just needed to rest for one or two games.
This is the best result for the Thunder.
No matter how good Harden is, the current Thunder team belongs to Durant and Westbrook!
Without these two people, the Thunder won't be able to go far.
After playing against the Thunder, after two days of rest, the Warriors faced the challenge of the 76ers.
The 76ers are currently ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference, two games behind the seventh-place Knicks, and four games behind the ninth-place Bucks.
With four games left in the season, there is basically no possibility of changing the 76ers' position.
Of course, the 76ers don't want their ranking to change.
Dropping to ninth is out of the question, and the Sixers don't want to.
It's a bit difficult to rise to seventh, and the 76ers don't want to!
The Heat are second in the Eastern Conference and the Bulls are first. Comparatively speaking, the Bulls in the playoffs are easier to deal with.
The most important thing is that Rose, the leader of the Bulls, has been sidelined for a long time due to injury. It is still unclear whether he can play in the playoffs!
Without Rose, the 76ers would have a chance to win the series!
So the 76ers are happy with their position.
There was no suspense in this game. The two teams ended the battle after a few gestures.
The next opponent is the Celtics.
The Celtics are ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference. Although their record is worse than the fifth-placed Hawks, due to the division, the Celtics must be ranked fourth.
As for being promoted to third place, there is no chance.
There is a three-game difference between the Celtics and the third-placed Pacers. It is impossible to catch up with the Pacers.
Although they don't want to lose, the Celtics, who have mostly veterans, don't have a strong desire to fight hard.
The Warriors got a win without much effort.
The only highlight of this game is the battle between Rondo and Curry.
In the end, Rondo sent out 14 assists, scored 10 points, and grabbed 11 rebounds, achieving an economical triple-double.
For the Warriors, Curry scored 8 three-pointers in 24 minutes, scoring 38 points, 8 assists, and 7 rebounds. His performance was also quite outstanding.
The season is coming to an end, and Deng Fang keeps urging Curry to take more shots and get more data.
The selection of MVP depends on data. Although there is no suspense about Curry being elected MVP again, what if it happens?
What if James blasted the numbers, impressed reporters, and counterattacked in the final stage?
Journalists are tired of aesthetics!
So don’t be careless!
After beating the Celtics, their opponent was the Nets, which was a bad team. The Warriors won the game without much effort.
Curry didn't play at all in this game!
If you play, you need to get more data, otherwise the average points per game will be lowered!
Since the fight won’t last long, it’s better not to fight at all!
If we don't play, the data in this game will have nothing to do with Curry.
The playoffs are coming, and it’s time to let Curry take a break.
On April 26, 2012, the Warriors’ last game of the season began.
This game was played at the American Airlines Arena, and the Warriors' opponent was the Heat.
The people who designed the schedule of the league also took great pains and made careful arrangements to come up with such a schedule.
The playoffs are about to begin, and the rankings of each team have basically been determined. At this time, bringing together the two teams that are most likely to meet in this year's finals for a showdown will definitely attract a lot of attention!
More importantly, the competition for MVP will most likely start between Curry and James. After the regular season, the voting will end. A game at this time is more important than many previous games!
Humans are very forgetful!
No matter how well you performed before, stretching your hips in the last scene can easily leave a bad impression on others!
Which team will win this year's championship?
Will Curry continue to win this year's MVP trophy or will it be snatched away by James?
