Basketball star Harden accepted an interview with ESPN host Rachel Nichols, reviewed his Rockets career, and talked about various topics in the first month after joining the Nets. In this 6-minute interview, Harden revealed his biggest problem when playing for the Rockets, and he was confident about the Nets’ prospects for the championship. “It will be very difficult for a team to beat us four times in a series of seven games and four wins. Of course we are confident.”
Speaking of the Rockets career, Harden said: “The situation I faced in Houston was that I had to score 40 points every night before I had a chance to win, which almost crushed me. To me In terms of playing with some excellent players, becoming an organizer by yourself, letting your teammates participate, instead of scoring every play, this is a relief.”
Harden is currently expected to have a chance to win the title of his second assists king. So far this season, he has averaged 11 assists per game, leading Trae Young to rank first. In addition, he can contribute 23.9 points and 7 rebounds.
Harden admitted in the interview that the reason for his desire to come to Brooklyn is to win a championship. He has won a bunch of individual awards, including MVP and three scoring champions, and seven NBA best fives. “I have almost got all the personal awards I can win, but I always want to win. Obviously we did not reach the goal. This is the ultimate reason for my decision. This is why I came to Brooklyn. I am still Try to pursue that goal, pursue my dream.”
Harden also said that when he shouted secretly to leave the Rockets, he didn’t like outside comments. “I don’t like it, because it’s not me, farce, all kinds of extra things, no matter what you call those things, it’s negative energy to me. I don’t like negative energy, I don’t like what happened at the time, everything It could have been done more smoothly and easily, but that’s the truth.”
Harden expressed his gratitude to the Rockets in the interview. “They didn’t need to trade me to Brooklyn, they could send me anywhere.” Harden said. However, the Rockets still respected Harden’s wishes. Of course, the chips that the Nets can give also meet the needs of the Rockets.
Speaking of the feeling of just arriving in Brooklyn, Harden said: “It’s too cold. I have to change the clothes in the whole closet. I need more coats to wrap myself tighter.”
As for the Nets’ current defense, Harden also expressed his thoughts. “In order to accomplish our goal, we must be better and stronger, and now we are not strong enough.” An important reason is that the league’s intensive schedule reduces training time. “The schedule is crazy. We have to play four games a week and we don’t have time to train.” Harden complained.
However, the good news is that Durant is back, and the Big Three of the Nets can join forces again. When they can play together, the Nets still have a very good winning percentage.
