Iron Man is also hard to resist! Who caused Harden's indefinite truce? Because of these 3 reasons, how much does hamstrings affect a basketball player? Saying big can affect an athlete's mobilization throughout his career, and saying small can be ignored. In the 218 Western Conference Finals, Paul missed the most crucial two games against the Warriors because of the short-term hamstring repetition, which finally led to the 3-2 lead of the Rockets . In the 2012 finals, James also took a short break for a few minutes because of his hamstrings, but he played casually again. Now that Harden's hamstring injury has recurred, the Nets announced that Harden will be out indefinitely in order to ensure the absolute health of Harden. Harden is likely to return closer to the start of the playoffs. Harden has an iron man in his career, appearing in almost every team game every season. Why is Harden suddenly injured this season?
First, the league season intensive this season. Due to the epidemic, last year's finals had to be postponed until early October, while previous years' finals started in early June. In order not to affect the progress of the game in the new season, the NBA schedule has naturally become denser. With the intensive schedule, the physical health of the players is naturally threatened. This is also the main reason for the widespread injury of players this season.
Second, Nash's crazy drill on Harden. Before the Nets, Nash will let Durant and Irving play for a long time. After Harden came to the Nets, Durant and Irving took monthly and weekly breaks. Because Harden is too versatile and durable, Nash has to play more than 36 minutes with Harden almost every game. Watching Harden often gasp for breath in the fourth quarter of games shows how serious Harden's physical exhaustion is.Over time, Harden's body turned on a red light, and injuries to his body were expected.
Third, Harden is 32 years old, no longer young. Harden doesn't owe the Rockets anything because he gave the Rockets the peak of his career. Coming to the Nets, Harden has become an athlete in his early 30s and at the end of his career. Athletes at this age are most at risk of injury. Paul, Wade, Thompson, Kobe were all injured during this time period. and James Harden is not LeBron James , Harden will naturally not be injured at this time node!
