From MVP to public enemies on the entire network: The fables of the times behind Harden s scattered defeat in the seventh tie

The deafening "Where is Harden" in the Denver Plateau, the camera swept the Clippers' bench - the super giant who once scored 60 points in a single game was curled up in the shadow, under the towel was not sweat, but the last decentness of a superstar of an era. 7 points in 8 shots, -29 plus or negative values, and four teams lost all tiebreaks. This unique shameful report card in NBA history is pushing "Harden's dilemma" to a social phenomenon.

📉The "high-end game curse"

• The career tiebreak shooting percentage is 35% vs Wade 49%

• The number of goals in the life and death battles is 55 games (super than Curry + Durant's total)

• The 12 double-teams in this game but no tactical response without the ball

US media sharply commented: "The fig leaf woven with 13 assists cannot cover the cowardice of 9 passes "

Harden, who fought with injury, dropped 23cm from his peak (equivalent to amateur bounce), and the 3% tear of his muscle fibers made his movement speed plummet by 30%. Netizens mixed his breakthrough video with square dance, and the 24-hour broadcast exceeded 10 million. The Heat official media directly cut: "Don't use the legend of the three-collection championships to insult Wade" and the cruelty of competitive sports is fully revealed at this moment.

💸Capital retreat: When the 170 million formation collapsed, Ballmer was revealed to have started trading evaluation, Harden's valuation fell to the second round of signing + expiration contract, and the sponsor replaced the "King of Breakthrough" advertising slogan overnight. The bookmakers offered strange odds, and 13% of fans bet their early retirement

This is not only the fall of the star, but also the business world's clear understanding of the "pseudo-superstar economy".

When the 16-year career cannot be exchanged for the finals, Harden's tragedy has long surpassed the scope of basketball. His story accurately hits the pain points of the times: "No bloody talent, but just a decoration of advanced points"

From Philadelphia to Los Angeles, every failure of Harden rewrites the rules of judgment of competitive sports. When the video of a towel slamming in the locker room leaked, and when George liked and deleted it in seconds, what we saw was not only the cracks in the locker room, but also the collective backlash of the entire society towards "false success theory".

There is not much time left for Harden, but the thinking left for us has just begun: In this era of keen on creating God and willing to destroy God, how should we define the true "greatness"?
