6686 Sports October 25th The NBA regular season continued. The Suns played against the Clippers. In the end, the Clippers defeated the Suns 129-102.
Harden made 8 of 12 shots in this game and scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists. Harden was interviewed after the game.
How to comment on this competition?
Harden: The slow start is a problem that we must discuss and improve. We must have a good talk about this and strive to do better, but fortunately, we have adjusted it. The opponent made some shots at the beginning and controlled the rhythm of the game early, but then we successfully slowed down their rhythm and completed several effective defenses. The offensive end also gradually opened up the situation. We revitalized the offense through passing and receiving, and the performance on the defensive end really changed the trend of the game.
What situation caused you to break out in the competition?
Harden: We were in a follow-up position and needed this win, so I told myself to be more aggressive. I knew this would have good results. I am very happy that we got our first win of the season. There are still many games to play and we hope to win more. And to be able to open the new venue with such an overwhelming victory, tonight's performance was so exciting.
What did you learn from the first to the second game?
Harden: Defense will be the key to our victory this season. If we compete with a defense-first mentality, there will be no problem. Next, we will watch the game video and prepare ourselves for Sunday's game (playing the Trail Blazers).
