The battle of tiebreak is not a 7-pointer. The bearded man who hits a new low in life and death is really not a big heart.

After losing the tie-event battle between the Clippers and the Nuggets, Harden's personal tie-event record also reached 3 wins and 4 losses, with a winning rate falling below 50%. His career has represented 4 different teams and lost the tie-event. What's even worse is that Harden's 7-point performance in the game has already set a record low for his personal tiebreak score. It is hard to imagine that an All-Star player can drop to this level at critical moments.

Just before this game began, the media had already reported Harden's record in the past six tiebreaks, trying to find some rules from it and analyze Harden's winning rate in this game and the Clippers. But in fact, as long as you look at Harden's performance in these games carefully, no matter how many points you score, even if you average 21.3 points per game, you can find an iron rule, that is, your efficiency is extremely low.

The seven tiebreakers were only G7 in the Western Conference semi-finals, representing the Thunder against the Grizzlies in 2011, and Harden, who was still the sixth man, played efficiently, making 6 of 10 shots and 4 of 8 three-pointers, and scored 17 points in 31 minutes of playing time. From then on, Harden's tiebreak battle has been inefficient.

The 2015 Western Conference Semi-Finals represented the Rockets against the Clippers. Although Harden scored a comprehensive data of 31 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, his shooting percentage was only 7 of 20 shots and 2 of 7 three-pointers, of which 18 free throws contributed half of the score.
In the 2018 Western Conference Finals against the Warriors, Harden lost his good partner Paul in a row, and although he scored 32 points, his shooting percentage was only 12 of 29 shots and 2 of 13 three-pointers. Under the negative influence of Harden, the Rockets team also shot an ultra-low shooting percentage of being nailed to the shameful pillar of the league's playoffs, and unfortunately lost. This was also the first time Harden lost the tiebreak in his career.

The fourth tiebreak was in the 20th Western Conference semi-finals, defeating the Thunder in Disney's closed zone. Although the Rockets won, Harden scored only 17 points in 4 of 15 shots in the game. With the performance of three players in the team scoring 20+ points, he almost won and was held to enter the Western Conference Finals. Harden's notorious reputation of losing his chain in the seventh tie is completely confirmed. It was also the last time Harden won the tiebreak in his career.
The fifth tiebreak was a 21-year loss to the Bucks in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. Harden, who had a tiebreak in the Eastern Conference for the first time, scored only 22 points in the whole game. His shooting was 5 of 17 shots that lived up to expectations. Even if there were 9 rebounds and 9 assists, it would be difficult to make up for the consequences of the ultra-low shooting percentage. At this point, Harden began his streak of losing streak in the tiebreak.

The sixth time was in 2023 when the 76ers lost to the Celtics in the Eastern Conference semi-finals. Harden made 3 of 11 shots and 1 of 5 three-pointers, scoring only 9 points. It was also from this year that Harden completely changed his identity, from a team scorer to a trader, and his scores plummeted.

There is another tiebreaker that has recently lost to the Nuggets. Harden's score has dropped from 9 points to 7 points again, so some netizens joked that if they know that the tiebreaker is not a 7-pointer. Of course, the joke is just a joke, but Harden's shocking hit percentage of 2 of 8 and 1 of 4 of 3-pointers really makes everyone speechless.

In total, Harden's tiebreak shooting percentage was only 35.5%, and his three-point shooting percentage was 22.4%. His average score also fell below the 20 mark, reaching 19.3 points. Such performance is certainly unqualified for a superstar. Unless he can join a team with super strength, he can always be a decisive in the series, and he doesn't need to play until the tiebreak for so long, otherwise Harden's negative skill of "falling off the chain at a critical moment" will only be an old Karami with a shooting percentage of only 30%.

And Lenovo Harden has a second-level high salary of over 30 million, is there really a top-notch combat team on paper that can take in big beards?
