With the Thunder trading Anthony away, the Rockets are one step closer to signing Anthony. However, before signing, all the ideas are just thoughts, but most fans also The Rockets' management, Rockets players and Anthony himself are all very determined that the Rockets will be Melo's next destination.
There is no doubt that Harden is one of the best scorers in NBA history. Winning the scoring title in the past three seasons is the best proof. From the sixth man in the Thunder era to today's Ace star, Harden's star growth path is obvious to the entire league. Of course, this is also due to the eight seasons during the Rockets period.
However, as he repeatedly failed to compete for the championship with the Rockets, Harden lost patience and finally applied for a trade this season. In the end, he came to the Nets to form a luxurious Big Three with Durant and Irving. So why has Harden never been able to become a true superstar? In fact, Kobe's evaluation of Harden back then has now been verified.
Gua, who once had unlimited shooting rights, came to the Thunder and was indeed influenced by Westbrook and George. Therefore, when Gua comes to the Rockets, he will definitely not take as many shots as before, but it will be easier to play in the Rockets, because both Paul and Harden like to pass the ball. I don't know if Gua can accept such a role.
Harden has always had the characteristic of sticking to the ball very much, especially during the Rockets period. Although he was the starting point of the team's offense, he always liked to occupy the ball for a large amount of time in each round. It also caused teammates to be unable to integrate into his rhythm.
After all, basketball is a team sport, which is why Westbrook and Howard teamed up with Harden to fail. Harden has always controlled the ball, forcing Westbrook to change from an organizer to a Pure scorer. Howard could only play the role of a blue-collar center next to Harden, which led to the eventual breakup.
Deng also talked about the issue of ball rights among the "bulbs" that fans had before Paul joined the Rockets. "Last year, there were a lot of people discussing that Chris and I couldn't play together, but we played first in the league, so in the end we will solve the problem. We have enough locker room leadership and a good enough coaching staff. , we can solve any problem."
Although Harden was one of the players that Kobe Bryant admired most in active service, his style of play was not favored by Kobe. Therefore, if Harden wants to win the championship, he must first find problems within himself. After all, in It is difficult for the NBA to rely on personal ability to defeat a team and win the championship. Secondly, on the defensive end, Harden also needs to continue to improve.
