Harden sharply responded to Cousins' criticism. Why did Harden, who has always been silent, deliberately fight back?

Harden left, and eight years of hard work seemed to go up in smoke overnight. The car wash shop in Houston has launched a free car wash by throwing away the 13 jersey, and Harden's small restaurant has also received many bad reviews. It seems that Harden can't repair the relationship with the team and the city this time.

After Harden left, Cousins and Wall both stood up and pointed out that Harden didn't respect people enough. On June 5438+1October 65438+May, the Rockets made great efforts to win the first victory after Harden left. After the game, the victorious hero Wood said: We all have the spirit of Mamba. Obviously, Wood had no intention of letting Harden go. He thinks Harden lacks fighting spirit, sense of responsibility and desire to win.

Overnight, Harden remained silent, letting the Rockets players and Houston fans vent. 65438+1October 16, at a press conference when Harden joined the Nets, Harden began to fight back. When talking about the rights of basketball and tennis, Harden said that we are all selfless players and we all like to pass the ball. This is not a problem.

When talking about the criticism and embarrassing departure of the Rockets players, Harden said: I don't disrespect people. As for why Cousins, Wall, Wood and others criticized themselves, Harden responded sharply: They just joined the Rockets, and I have been there for a long time. Obviously, Harden's words are intended to tell his critics that one is that you just know the ball. Second, I'm much better at the Rockets than you, so shut up.

Harden's response also triggered a heated discussion among many fans. Why did Harden, who has always been silent, deliberately respond? First, change the passive exit. For this transaction, Harden's approach has been controversial. If Cousins and others continue to beat, Harden will be more passive. So after the deal is reached, Harden must fight back and change the passive situation.

Secondly, the issue of commercial value. Harden is eager to change the situation, and the most important reason is business value. If things continue, even if you come to the Nets, you can achieve better results than you did in the Rockets, but because of the decline in word of mouth, Harden's commercial value will also decline, which Harden does not want to see and is not allowed by the sponsors behind him.

Finally, Harden's attitude. I have to say that the way Houston people chased him made Harden a little overwhelmed, and his doubts were endless, so Harden had to stand up and fight back against these voices and make them stop.

Harden doesn't want to be misunderstood by his brothers. The media's evaluation of him was beyond his control, but it was misunderstood by his brothers and he could not accept it. Gordon knows him best, so after Cousins spoke to Wall, he immediately defended Harden, saying that Harden didn't mean to belittle his brother. Indeed, Harden is a good boy. In the eight years of the rocket, he paid a lot, worthy of the rocket. He also loathed to give up the rocket, but there was nothing he could do. He lacks the championship and everything else. He doesn't want to lose these partners either. There is still a long way to go, and friendship is still there.

To tell the truth, in Houston, Cousins criticized Harden for being unqualified.

Of course, it is also possible to say that Harden has no respect for people.

Cousin, after all, is also a caring person.

So why did Harden respond violently?

I think on the one hand, Houston is where Harden stayed for eight years.

He is still very emotional.

In eight years, he has grown from the sixth man to a superstar, mvp and scoring champion here.

This is his best memory.

As he said in his farewell speech, he felt he owed Houston, but the story is not over yet.

He also wants to keep some good memories here.

Fans can misunderstand him and dislike him, but he doesn't want this misunderstanding to be deepened by others' words.

Harden's trip to the Nets this year can really be called a farce.

Breaking up with the Rockets is not a good idea, and it is also a pity for Harden.

However, those memories that belong to them will not change.

The most important thing is that not a person who has just come to play a few games can talk about him!

Harden forced Palace to trade himself, which may violate the professional ethics! However, he is not the first person to do so!

There are countless cases of strong teams trading themselves, so here are no examples!

However, Cousins and Wall really went too far!

Both of them are members of the university! United as one, guide the pressure of public opinion to harden crazily!

It is clear that two newcomers are in charge of the team and criticize the original boss of the team!

Perhaps, Rockets veteran Tucker Gordon is qualified to comment on Harden's behavior! But, at least they two newcomers, there is nothing to say here! ?

What did they bring to the rocket?

Cousins, even when he won the king himself, looked good except for the data! Never made the playoffs! It's no use introducing Rondo to him!

So there is nothing wrong with Harden deliberately hitting Cousins!

Harden has maintained the highest attendance rate in the league during the eight years of the Rockets and has never missed a playoff game! Reached the western conference finals twice! Lead the team to get the first place in the regular season, and it is the best record in team history!

Seeing that the team has no hope of winning the championship, it is also a helpless choice to apply for a transaction! Moreover, Harden's departure has also brought many draft picks to the team! Whether the Rockets rebuild or continue to compete for the championship, they have enough chips in their hands and a lot of room for operation! The house is not clean, leaving chicken feathers all over the floor!

Cousins' temperament is obviously no longer brave. With the basic salary of the league, he really should settle himself! Instead of deliberately looking for a sense of existence!

Perhaps it is his temperament that makes him a marginalized player.

From Harden's point of view, he has always been a player with money first and a good championship. However, with the deepening of his career and the accumulation of enough money, he began to have a desire for the championship, which is also the deep contradiction between him and the Rockets.

As for Cousins, Wall and other players, Harden knows that he is not on the same side with them, and this is to win the championship.

In order to get himself traded, what can Harden do besides forcing the palace? Maintaining good relations with friends is obviously not conducive to forcing the palace. Of course, since the transaction has been completed, the wishes have been met, and each has its own income, it is normal to come out to fight back or clarify at this time, and animals can understand it.

Good luck with the Rockets and Harden.

Cousins criticized Harden. As a player, the strength is not enough, and the influence of criticism is naturally small; As a teammate, I haven't been with Harden for a few days. Harden applied for a deal before the season and didn't want to be a teammate with Cousins.

With Cousins' temper and emotional intelligence, it is understandable to criticize Harden. With Harden's temper and emotional intelligence, he should not specifically respond to Cousins' criticism.

Harden first clarified his previous remarks about disrespecting his teammates: "I didn't disrespect anyone, those guys, they just came to Houston, where I have been for a long time." I have been through all the ups and downs with the team, and I don't mean to disrespect anyone. "

During his eight years in the Rockets, Harden was selected as an All-Star and ranked among the top three MVP awards five times in the last six years, including winning the final prize in the 20 17- 18 season.

During his eight years in the Rocket, Harden devoted his youth. Whether you love him or hate him, you should not erase the bright spot he left in the rocket.

1. 60 points and three doubles in a single game.

Harden has won 49 triple doubles, and he is the only player in NBA history who can get 60 points triple doubles. At that time, Harden played for 46 minutes and 23 seconds, made 30 shots 19, scored 5 of 3 points 14, made a free throw 18 17, and effectively scored 60 points 10 rebounds1. This happened on 20 18, when the Rockets played Orlando Magic in a regular season, and the team finally defeated the opponent. More importantly, in the eyes of American media, this data is no less than Kobe's 8 1 point per game.

2. 53 points per game 16 rebounds 17 assists.

On June 65438+1 October1,20 16, Harden played an unprecedented and amazing data in the history of basketball. He shot 26 shots 14 and scored an incredible 53 points 18 free throws 16. The Rockets also defeated the new york Knicks by 129- 122 after four fierce battles.

3. Kill your opponent at a critical moment.

In a regular season of 20 15, Harden killed the Phoenix Suns with a landmark retreat. He scored 33 points and 8 assists in that game.

In the third game against Golden State Warriors in the first round of the 20 16 NBA playoffs, Harden scored the winning goal in front of andre iguodala with 2.7 seconds left. Although the Rockets lost by 1-4, Harden's winning goal avoided the embarrassment that the Rockets were swept away.

Later, in the 20 19 regular season, Harden once again killed the Warriors with a deadly three-pointer in overtime. It was hard for fans at that time to think that Harden could actually kill his opponent.

4.365438+ 0 times in a row, 30 points in a single game+

In the 20 18- 19 season, Harden scored 30 points for 3 consecutive games, which also tied wilt chamberlain's record of 30 points in a single game in NBA history. He and Chamberlain tied for second place in history. In this 365,438+0 competition, Harden's personal data is excellent. He averaged 4 1.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 2.3 steals per game. In addition, he had 40+ points in 4 games, 18 times and 30+ points in 9 times.

5. lead the rockets to reverse the clippers in the playoffs 1-3.

20 15 in the western conference playoff semi-final, after falling behind by a big score of 1-3, the Rockets finally defeated the Los Angeles Clippers by a 4-3 reversal. If it weren't for Harden's heroic performance, it might be difficult for the team to do this. In this series, Harden scored 25. 1 point. More importantly, in the decisive seventh game, he scored 3 1 point and 8 assists to help the team beat the opponent and advance to the western conference finals.

How much players earn, the image must be maintained hard. At the peak of my career, it is understandable to pursue the championship. The income, achievements and image of advertising sponsorship are indispensable. And the Rockets have bid farewell to the China market, but Harden has many fans in China. Harden can't explain clearly, so leave the head office. Needless to say, the owner of the Nets is the only person in the NBA who has said a few fair words.

Let's get together and let's go. We're even. This sentence can be said to be a very appropriate description of Harden and today's rockets. After all, the Rockets carried Harden from infancy to maturity, and Harden also brought some honors to the Rockets that were not available before. From the perspective of both sides, it is a good ending.

On the other hand, Harden also wrote that it is not the time to say goodbye, and he is going to pursue his dreams. We have every reason to believe that when Harden succeeds in pursuing his dream, he will return to this place that once brought him too much like a "top scholar".

It was the rocket that "took in" Harden when he needed to be accepted most, the rocket that "contained" him when he needed to grow up most, and the rocket that sent Harden to the place where he wanted to go when he needed to travel most.

After Harden left the team, former Rockets teammate Cousins and other players stood up and said Harden didn't respect his teammates. Indeed, I saw in some previous news that Harden's "discord" with his teammates, especially with Cousins' big brother Wall, had a great influence on the two cores of a team. When Harden left the team, "Big Mouth" Cousins could hardly restrain his dissatisfaction and made these remarks. It shouldn't, but it's understandable.

Harden, who has always been introverted, also responded to this matter. Harden has always been silent, and now it is more serious to stimulate him. It is only a matter of time before Harden leaves the team. The delay of the Rockets may be due to the lack of suitable "chips" or other reasons. When Harden can't stand it, he must take some measures to leave the team as soon as possible, which is also reasonable.

There is no need to doubt Harden's character or his skill. He brought a lot to the rocket. Now he is 365,438+0 years old and needs to launch the final impact for the champion. After all, the peak of a star is only a few years. He needs this so badly! Come on, Harden, go ahead!

Harden said of the Rockets: "I stayed there for a long time, and I experienced all the ups and downs with that team. I don't disrespect anyone. I just made a comment that this team as a whole is not enough to compete for a championship. At this stage of my career, where I am now, this is what we want to say. "

Harden has been with the Rockets for eight seasons. Some stars chose "one person, one city" and led the team to win the championship. This is admirable, but the alliance itself is a capital market. Players first consider the annual salary and how much money they can earn. Obviously, Harden has given his best to Houston in the past few years. So I don't feel indebted to the Rockets. However, Cousins has suffered a series of injuries in recent years, which is not what it used to be. The key point is that they just came to the Rockets, and other veteran members of the Rockets haven't made a statement yet, so Harden will fight back.

Mental state: Who are you? Just coming to the rocket is like BB me. I need your BB.

And for Harden now, he has earned enough money, and the championship should be what he wants more. He was not satisfied with the current configuration of the Rockets, so he chose to leave and join a team with the strength to win the championship.

If Harden stays with the Rockets for another 2-3 years, with the current league team configuration, the Rockets may not even enter the West. At that time, team management must have considered building teams around others. Harden himself may be the victim.

First of all, Harden must be a superstar. But he is not fit to be a team leader. Which star can Harden play with? In recent years, Howard, Paul and Shao Wei have all tried, but none of them succeeded. Every playoff dive requires a lot of possession. How can such a player satisfy the rest of the players? After this trip to the Nets, he and Owen can only keep one in the end. If both of them stay, I'm sure they are a one-stop tour in the playoffs.
