Harden helped the Clippers successfully force Game 7, "I just want to play aggressively"

On the 2nd, Beijing time, the "bearded" Harden only had a short break of 1 minute and 25 seconds in the first quarter of the key battle, and then played all the way, scoring 28 points, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds to help the Clippers defeat the Nuggets 111-105 in G6 of the first round of the NBA Western Conference playoffs, and successfully forced the 7th game of life and death.

Harden didn't play well in games 4 and 5 of the series, scoring just 26 points combined, so he was hoping to bounce back today and play nearly 47 minutes, saying, "I just want to play aggressively because it's either winning or going home." ”

"Bearded" Harden

Harden said he could still play more than 45 minutes in Game 7, "I have to do it because that's the game, and whatever the team needs, whether it's 47 minutes, 48 minutes, or playover, I'm there for it." ”

Clippers coach Tyronn Lue revealed that in fact, Harden's physical strength was close to exhaustion at the last moment, so he also called a timeout to help him ease, "He is a guy who wants to give his best every game, he has a high ambition and desire to compete, and he is the one who brings us back on track tonight." ”

Harden has played six tiebreakers in the playoffs in his career, averaging 21.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 7 assists per game, with a 3-3 record.
