Even if there are five players in the NBA, team supremacy is necessary, but sometimes teammates have bad feelings and can come by themselves. When it comes to one-on-one combat, Michael Jordan is a representative of historical players, and he is superior. After Jordan, people are familiar with super scorers such as Iverson, Kobe Bryant, Carter, McGrady and Wade, but after scoring in this era, they are dying. However, there is an all-around scorer "Harden" who rises in Ran Ran, Ran Ran. How to take a step back and take the European step, in full swing, he also scored three points.
Harden became an active one-on-one hit king.
Today's Harden is an all-round player in the eyes of the outside world, but when it comes to one-on-one combat ability, Harden is also a figure who can compete for the first place. As early as a few years ago, the outside world was still arguing about who was the first point guard in the NBA. Harden's offensive skills were monotonous, and he even listed the old three-touching porcelain, three-pointers and ou Bu. However, in recent years, Harden can be clearly found.
In the face of defense, Harden can constantly change tactics and complete mode switching. Technically, Harden is more like an innovative talent. Because the fake action of the left-handed general is more difficult to distinguish, his three threats are also more confusing. In addition, Harden's perfect combination of the European step and the backward step, coupled with outstanding upper limb strength and flexible technical application, makes his attack unstoppable, if you are willing to remember.
If Harden is allowed to speak for himself, he will not hesitate to remove this "one". In the previous trip to China, Harden was also asked a topic: "On the one-on-one hit, where do you think you can rank in the league?" Harden blurted out: "Of course it is the first!"
Influenced by Confucian culture since childhood, China people pay attention to introversion and reserve, while Americans advocate individual heroism and pay attention to publicity and desire. It is not difficult to see from Harden's words that he has enough confidence in his skills and singles ability.
The data also supports Harden's confidence. In the technical statistics of official website's "Face Basketball Singles" in NBA, Harden has been leading the league for the last two seasons. 20 15- 16 season, harden * * completed 430 singles, averaging 6.4 points per game. In contrast, Anthony, ranked second, averaged 5.2 points per game. In the 20 16- 17 season, on the basis of the surge in assists, Harden's singles times and efficiency increased instead of decreased. He averaged 6.6 points in singles, still ranking first in the league. As a representative of explosive guards, Shao Wei averaged 6 points in singles, while as a coquettish and gorgeous shoulder-bearer, Owen averaged 5.7 points in singles.
Harden defended the singles title for two consecutive seasons, and the one who claimed to be one-on-one hit was obviously not crazy.
Get confidence from Kobe Bryant.
If you have heard the story of Harden, you will know that he is not a born basketball player. Harden was a little fat boy with asthma when he was a teenager. In junior high school, due to poor health, his mother once forbade him to continue playing, but Harden persisted with perseverance and finally touched his mother. In high school, Harden lacked physical confrontation and athletic ability, but these shortcomings just changed his way of playing, and made him learn to play on the floor, practicing shooting, feint, attack and defense conversion and passing over and over again. In the end, Harden's efforts paid off. He began to show his talents in college and eventually became a big hit in NBA.
Every super scorer has a persistent heart. Playing team basketball can cover up many shortcomings. But in the case of one-on-one, any defects in footwork and technology will be magnified. Real one-on-one players need to go through countless efforts and skills polishing, and also need to do any details to the extreme. They have formed their own attack mode and will choose the most effective way to attack the defense line.
Harden once described his own characteristics and said: "I can be the best player on the court only because of my skills and basketball IQ." There is no doubt that LeBron James and Durant are the kings on the court. They have excellent height, athletic ability and super talent, which I can't compare with, but I can make up for it with IQ. "
Harden is really a clever player. He can combine his skills, footwork and quick thinking to complete his extraordinary offensive talent. Although Harden is mainly left-handed, both hands can participate in the attack. As the most threatening breakthrough player, Harden's dribbling under his legs and super direction change can quickly open the space, and his European step can help him change the direction instantly, making his ability of "creating space" extremely unique. Harden's "cunning" side came in handy. Once the opponent is close to his body, he can quickly raise his hand to complete the foul. Last season, Harden fouled in the garage with a beard, which became one of the classic tidbits of the year, but it also fed Harden's hard to prevent. No matter who is in front of him, he will always seize the opportunity and make his opponent pay the price. This is the quality that a super singles player should have.
As a super attacker, self-confidence is essential. On 20 1 1, Harden met his idol Kobe Bryant in a Drew League game, and they had a one-on-one fight and spat rubbish at each other. In the end, Kobe scored 45 points and Harden scored 44 points, leading the team to victory. Since that game, Harden has become a different person.
"That was a turning point in my career. Since then, my self-confidence and skills have been greatly improved. I know I can do better. " Harden said afterwards.
Now that Kobe has retired, Harden has taken over the mantle of the first point guard.
When Kobe recalled the game, he also said, "I saw something in his eyes. He seems to be ready."
And such preparation is not only a battle, but also a kind of inheritance.
The super scorer is heading for the king.
The most successful place of Kobe Bryant in those days was to turn an unsolvable score into a victory, but in fact, not all great scorers can be equated with victory. Chamberlain and Jerry West were scoring maniacs in ancient times, and they didn't win the championship until they began to turn into passers. Dominic Wilkins, known as "the essence of human movies", is one of the most famous scorers in NBA history. He has his own statue in Atlanta, but he has never led a team to break through the second round.
Harden's greatest advantage is his basketball IQ. His brain is like a sophisticated computer, which can instantly process a large amount of information and make accurate judgment and analysis. Harden will not hesitate to attack when he needs to attack himself, but when he needs to pass the ball, he can always find a vacancy and distribute the ball reasonably.
In the season of 20 16- 17, Harden played a masterpiece of his career, averaging 29. 1 minute, 8. 1 rebound,1.2 assists, of which/kloc-0. His organizational ability is to rely on a higher level, and the efficiency value can also prove Harden's value. His PER value (player efficiency value) was as high as 27.43, which also set a new career high. Against the Knicks, Harden scored 53 points 16 rebounds 17 assists. In the game against the 76ers, he sent out 5 1 point, 13 rebounds and 13 assists, once again creating a crazy record night. More importantly, Harden led the Rockets to 55 wins, ranking third in the West. On the basis of single-core leadership, such achievements are commendable.
Harden first completed the transition from a scorer to a super scorer, and then he completed the transition from a super scorer to a super leader. While the outside world is still worried about Harden's missed MVP, Beard has shouted the slogan of defeating the Warriors to win the championship. In the last two years, the news of Harden's off-season bars has almost disappeared, and the scandals have become less and less. He put more energy into the court. After playing a historic season, Harden is expected to continue to create miracles. The answer is almost yes. At the season summary meeting, Rockets coach D 'Antoni said: "Harden played an extraordinary season, and I believe he will get better next season."
With the arrival of Paul, Harden will return to the position of point guard in the new season. Although CP3 will separate part of Harden's attack, Harden's physical fitness will be more reasonably distributed after the organizational tasks are reduced, which means that he can better help the team at critical moments. Perhaps, we will see a different Harden again.

There are countless one-on-one hit kings in history, but most of them can only stay in the goal stage and cannot complete further sublimation. What is the highest realm of one-on-one king? I believe many people have an answer in their hearts. Everyone hopes that, like Jordan and Kobe, the sword will point to the sky and the world will be used by me. However, Joko is not reproducible. Now Harden is also exploring a road of his own. As long as he has a dream in his heart, his ideal will not be disillusioned.
