Who is harder to defend James compared to Harden?

James is more difficult to defend because James' impact is too strong to be prevented from entering the basket.

Harden, whose offense is the most unpredictable, moves too much, can easily be judged a foul and give Harden a free throw.

James is harder to defend. James plays a lot of inside shots, and he often uses his physical advantage to crush opponents, leaving opponents helpless. Harden's style of play is relatively weak, and he is prone to drop the chain at critical moments.

Recently, there have been fans discussing, who is stronger with Harden or James?

Before we get into this, we have to be clear about two prerequisites.

The first condition is that the scope of the discussion is only for this season, and it does not include the game that Harden played in the Rockets, because that game is special, not to mention the entire career, and Harden and James are really incomparable in terms of the entire career.

The second condition, on the ability to lead the team is compared to the single-core to lead the team, rather than the other core is also present in the game, there is a difference here, Schroder is not the core, and Owen is the core of this idea, then when the two giants and the three giants are present at the same time, judge the strength and weakness of the ability to lead the team, this situation is too complicated to compare.

After talking about the conditions, let's look at the data:

James led the team to 6-5 this season during the absence of thick eyebrows, and Harden led the Nets alone during the absence of Durant and Mori Irving, the record of leading the Nets alone is one win and two losses, purely from the point of view of data, James is superior, but we have to consider some deep-seated reasons, because the Lakers are James's team, after James led the team to the top last year, there are a lot of tactical tacit understandings between him and these teammates, and even these new players, they have also run in in the offseason.

And Harden is the Nets who joined later, and what is in front of Harden is to take the official game, when the run-in is training, take Harden's playing time this season, ranking first in the league, and James is now ranked 20th in the league. You can see that it is a little more difficult for Harden to lead the team than James.

So this comparison itself is an open conclusion, there must be a reason why James is better with a single core, and there must be a reason why Harden is stronger than James with a single core, and he must have strong support.

So my conclusion is threefold:

The first conclusion is that James and Harden are both leaders who can make their teammates better this season, and this kind of player is currently the most three people in the league, and considering Harden and James together proves Harden's strength and the Nets' current championship prospects.

The second conclusion is that Harden is currently in the first stage of his career, and James is now 36 years old and is slowly declining, in the second half of his career, and the actual situation of the Nets and the Lakers themselves is different, so it is difficult to find common parameters and indicators to compare them.

The third conclusion is that James's achievements in the past are beyond Harden's reach, but if you limit the time to the next few years, Harden may not be able to surpass James in the next few years.

Whether it's with the Cavaliers, the Heat, or the Lakers, James' ability to lead the team is one of the best in the league. During the Cavaliers period, James led the team to the Finals and won the championship trophy, and James achieved this achievement during the Heat period and now in the Lakers, so no matter which team in which period, James's ability to lead the team is quite good!

For Harden, although he led the team to the playoffs every year after joining the Rockets, the team has never been able to make a breakthrough in the West, which has a lot to do with the emergence of the universe, and of course, it also has a certain relationship with the quality of his teammates who are not as good as James, but no matter what the reason is, Harden's ability to lead the team does have a certain gap with James, and now in the Nets, Harden did lead the team to play a good performance in the absence of Duou. But this kind of performance is largely due to his personal ability, and in terms of driving his teammates, Harden really doesn't do as well as Lao Zhan!

Judging from the results of the two careers, James's career results are much better than Harden's, leading the team to the Finals for eight consecutive years, this alone is enough to kill everyone in the active league, even in the entire league history, there are few achievements like James. And Harden's career performance is really not very ideal, he has been with the Rockets for so many years and has not even played in the Finals, such a team result is indeed a bit too much, although the quality of teammates is not as good as James, but Harden is not around him There is no shortage of teammates like Howard, Paul and Wei Shao, but even with these teammates, Harden still can't break out of the West, so in terms of the results of the whole career, Harden is still not as good as James!

In terms of leadership temperament, Harden still can't be compared to James, why do you say that? Harden's weak playoff game, or not taking the initiative to take responsibility after losing, is already the reason why many fans criticize him, so in terms of leadership temperament, Harden's leadership temperament is really average. But James is different, in the 2016 Finals, the Cavaliers fell behind the Warriors 1-3, and it was in this irreversible adversity that James still led the team to achieve a shocking reversal.

So whether it is the team's performance or leadership temperament, Harden can't be compared with James.

Harden is 108,000 miles away.
