Today, the Clippers host the Jazz, and they won by a big score. In this game, Harden clocked out in the third quarter and scored 41 points and 6 assists, including 7 of 11 shots from beyond the three-point line. Today, when we look at Harden's stats, you'll see that this is clearly the regular stat for Harden during the Rockets' time. He made seven three-pointers and made 12 of 14 free throws from the free throw line. After watching this game, many fans bluntly said that "Rocket Deng" is finally back.

Harden's average numbers per game this season are outstanding, averaging 22 points, 6.5 rebounds and 8.3 assists per game. His points per game average has improved significantly compared to last season, and Harden has clearly carried the team up in his own hands without Leonard. Although he is 35 years old, Harden is still able to play very efficient statistics on the court. It doesn't seem to be affected by age, and his playing style has little impact on him, because his style of play is more skillful and doesn't rely too much on physical fitness.

Remember that Harden made a promise this offseason, and he promised fans that he would return to the All-Star this year. And it turns out that Harden is really trying to make good on his promise. Based on Harden's stats this season, he has every chance of making the All-Star list. After a two-year hiatus, Harden has every chance to stand on the stage of the All-Star Game again. And his current level is also an All-Star level.

Why does Harden look better this season? It came down to getting rid of a hamstring injury. It is important to know that hamstring injuries can affect a player for a long time, and it may take one to two years to fully recover. Players with this kind of injury will have a serious decline in their breakthrough explosiveness. Especially a player like Harden, who relies on breakthroughs a lot, once he has this kind of injury, the impact on him is huge. Once he's out of a hamstring injury, you'll see that Harden's breakthrough power increases, and it's easier to get fouls after getting to the basket.

Harden's career style of play has relied heavily on his legs. First of all, he kept his crotch when he broke through, and he relied on the strength of his legs to kick the ground at the moment of passing. And when it comes to the basket, it also relies on the strength of the legs to support and complete the layup. Including when he stepped back, he had a high demand for leg strength. So the impact of Harden's previous injury on him is huge. And once he gets rid of this injury, he can return to his previous peak form. Many fans believe that Harden's form can be maintained for at least three years, and that he is not a player who relies on physical fitness, and his form is easier to maintain. I wonder what the fans think?
