Why didn't Harden start the All-Star Game?

This season's All-Star start came to an end, and james harden missed the start for a while. Why? Is Harden's level down and his data down, so he doesn't deserve to start? It has nothing to do with strength. Let's give readers a comprehensive analysis.

Second, this season's performance is not so explosive. In previous seasons, Harden won the scoring championship for three consecutive years, averaging 36+ per game. Triple doubles are commonplace, and 40+ routines break the team record and the league record. The big news is that the score is below 30. At this point, if you don't like Harden any more, you have to vote for Harden, otherwise Harden's failure to start will become a big joke in the league. This season is different, not to mention the ball played by Rockets Harden at the beginning of the season, but his performance in the Nets has indeed broken many records in a row, such as personal triple doubles, personal continuous assists and team three-pointers. But this is mainly due to the poor foundation of the Nets. To put it bluntly, it is too bad. Deng Shen's score in the Nets is not as cracked as in previous seasons, and the league record is rarely broken. I didn't impress you very much, and my performance was not very good.

Third, the three giants of the Nets. One thing, Durant or Owen, the two brothers are fully qualified to start the Eastern Conference All-Star, that's right. So Harden doesn't deserve to start? Yes, it's not unworthy. Then why not start? If you want to start in the East, there will be five players, but your third brother will not be satisfied with both. You should start all of them. You can ask other teams in the East to play or not, and you can ask the first player in the East to play or not. What's more, Harden's backup All-Star is not necessarily less than the starting lineup, and the Big Three of the Nets will definitely be suitable for the All-Star Game.

Fourth, alliance practice. Let's put it this way, when the Warriors were in the league, Curry was not awesome, which goes without saying, Curry Day. However, in this case, Curry failed to start the All-Star in 15 season, because Durant went and Curry was placed in the second All-Star team. This is not because Curry is not strong or worthy, but because it is a good thing that everyone can't do it as a team, otherwise the All-Star will become the Warriors and do the whole East, which is not allowed by the league. In the same way, Harden didn't make an all-star start this time.

Fifth, Harden is not the top card created by the NBA. Like Michael Jordan, Black Mamba Kobe, Little Emperor James, Death Durant, and Curry who blew up the sky, these are idols cultivated by the league and are the symbols and spokespersons of NBA in the world, but Harden is not. There are many reasons for this. Pick three points: from the beginning of joining the league, starting from the substitute, gentle temperament, occasionally returning to the nightclub little prince, do not have a natural leadership temperament; Second, to endorse Adi in Germany, not Nike in the United States. Nike is an important sponsor in the alliance, and the alliance will shake three times and shake three times, which is not good for Harden; Harden's beard is a vivid symbol of his personality, but not all Americans like it, especially Americans can easily associate it with the bad memories of Arabia and 9 1 1, and it is even more difficult to win the hearts of the people.

The Sixth All-Star Game is more about popularity than strength. Obviously, who participates in the All-Star Game is more popular with fans and the media than who is the best, so you see that old Jordan and Kobe will start.

In particular, although Deng Shen didn't start an all-star lineup this time, it's not surprising that the Nets won the championship with Boss Cai's exploration of the domestic and even Asian basketball market and the support of fans in Asia, especially China, not to mention Harden's all-star lineup. The market is big, there are many fans, and it is also hard power.
