Brother Xin alluded to Harden's defensive level. How effective is Harden's defense?

In fact, Harden's defensive efficiency in the regular season is now 108.2, which can only be ranked as 160 in the league, belonging to the middle and lower reaches. So many people are actually very hesitant about Harden's defense, including Brother Alphabet. Before the All-Star game this season, Brother Alphabet once told Harden to defend and let anyone play. This sentence is undoubtedly very contemptuous of james harden, but in this season's All-Star Game, Harden fought back strongly, and Harden's defense in this game was actually very good.

Especially in the last quarter, Harden's defensive efficiency in the low post is actually quite high. At that time, Brother Alphabet tried to challenge Harden for several rounds, but all failed. Apart from Brother Alphabet, many players have tried to challenge Harden, but they still failed. It can be said that if it weren't for Harden's wonderful backhand in the last quarter, the James team might not have won the game.

In fact, in the regular season, Harden's defensive efficiency is so low, which is related to the overall play of the Rockets. Because according to the way the Rockets play now, Harden undoubtedly plays a very important offensive role in the team, and all attacks must be launched from Harden's side, which will undoubtedly consume Harden's energy, so Harden naturally cannot go all out to defend.

But fortunately, this lineup of the Rockets is also quite wonderful now, so many teams have not adapted to the lineup of the Rockets. And now the Rockets also have some defense experts. Tucker, for example, is such a player Tucker is not particularly tall, but he is aggressive in playing on the court and brave in defending. Tucker now basically supports half of the Rockets' defensive tasks.
