In-depth comparison between Harden and Jordan's peak seasons, which is more difficult, 36.2 points or 37. 1 points?

Harden's phenomenal performance has been recognized by all walks of life, so which is more difficult to compare the scores of two super quarterbacks in depth?

Team score

Today's NBA encourages offense, which not only has a faster offensive rhythm and more three-pointers, but even the rules are beneficial to offensive players. This season, the Rockets can get 1 12.9 points per game, which is the top offensive team in the league. Harden scored 32% of the team. In the 1980s, the league encouraged confrontation, and there were fewer three-pointers. At that time, the Bulls averaged only 104.8 points per game, ranking in the middle of the league, while Jordan scored 35.4%.

Shooting frequency and hit rate

Harden averaged 24.7 shots per game this season, including 3-pointers 13.2, setting a historical record. Harden's shooting percentage is 43.8% and his three-point shooting percentage is 36.3%, so he is a very efficient scorer on the whole. In the 86-87 season, Jordan shot a little more than Harden, reaching 27.8 times, but his shooting percentage was as high as 48.2%. Because three-pointers were not popular at that time, Jordan averaged only 0.8 shots per game. Judging from the number of shots and shooting percentage, Jordan is undoubtedly stronger.

Defensive intensity

The defensive strength of the NBA is not the same as that of the 1980s. If there is a slight confrontation with the referee, the whistle will sound, the shooting outside the three-point line will be more closely linked, and the defensive intensity will be much lower than in the 1980 s. The living environment in Jordan's era is more difficult, especially the defense of Jordan by the major superstars is more rude, and there are not a few malicious fouls like the Bad Boys Corps. In defensive strength, it is undoubtedly stronger in the 1980 s.

Scaling capacity

Harden's three-point performance is far better than Jordan's, and he can walk to the free throw line by three-point foul in every game. Harden is very good at using rules, so his foul ability is very strong, and therefore he is ridiculed by fans as "touching porcelain." The fouls in Jordan's era were simple and rude, and they were usually fouled after it was impossible to prevent, not because the attacker took the initiative to cheat. Even so, Harden averaged free throws 1 1. 1 this season, while Jordan averaged free throws 1 1.9 in 1987. Jordan's foul-making ability is stronger.

Teammate strength

The healthy Rockets are a strong team in the league. In addition to Harden, there are also players such as Paul, cappella, Gordon and farid, whose average score is above 13. The overall strength of the Rockets is a strongman in the league, and teammates can better share the pressure for Harden. In the 86-87 season, the strength of bulls was average. Apart from Jordan, only oakley, who averaged 14 points per game, and paxson, who averaged 1 1 points per game, could provide limited help. The strength of teammates is far less than Harden's teammates.

By comparison, it is not difficult to find that the defensive strength of the league was stronger and Jordan's teammates were weaker in the 1980s, so the defensive pressure he faced was undoubtedly greater. But he not only scored higher than Hadden, but also scored better, fouled and scored higher than Hadden. Overall, Jordan's average score of 37. 1 minute is undoubtedly more difficult than Kazakhstan's average score of 36.2. Of course, Harden's performance is also great enough, especially the three-point performance is the existence that Jordan should also expect.
