Why is Prime Shai better in the playoffs than Prime James harden? Both of them shoot lots of free throws in the regular season, but Shai’s game translates better in the playoffs than James harden?

為何巔峰期的亞歷山大在季后賽表現優于巔峰期的哈登？兩人在常規賽都頻頻通過罰球得分，但亞歷山大的打法在季后賽中顯得更為穩健。

Edit: Don't know any ELITE star who had such a bad game in the playoffs lol

注：2017年西部半決賽G6，火箭對陣馬刺的比賽，哈登全場11投2中，僅得到10分7助攻，并送出6次失誤，末節0分，最終火箭2-4遭到馬刺淘汰。

Okc is very good and Shai is one of the best. But comparing OKC to Cleveland/warriors/spurs from those times is pretty silly. Lebron and curry during those playoff duels was equivalent to having a Jokic on each team.

Then add the 2nd best shooter of all time and dpoy Draymond versus pre-crazy kyrie and Kevin love.

The only team OKC is beating is the kyrie less Cavs. It took LeBron and kyrie having double 40 bombs to beat the Harrison Barnes version.

尼克斯球迷：雷霆確實很強，SGA也是頂級球員！但拿這支雷霆和當年的騎士/勇士/馬刺比實在太蠢了…那幾年詹庫的季后賽對決，相當于如今的兩個約基奇對打，堪稱火星撞地球啊！

再加上歷史第二射手和DPOY追夢，對位的還是（非究極形態）的歐文和樂福。

雷霆唯一可能贏的就是缺少歐文的騎士…要知道，當年詹歐雙雙砍下40+才將將擊敗了（由哈里森·巴恩斯主導的進攻）那支勇士。

1 of them is 3 point shot or at the rim attempt or bust player, 1 is a midrange specialist.

3 point shots are notoriously inconsistent, even curry has awful games from 3, and in a 7 game series being heliocentric makes it easier for teams to prep around and key in on the 1 player plus harden has only really had 1 really complete roster even close to the thunders level and that took an extreme cold streak for them to lose with missing over 20 3s in a row.

Whereas sga plays on a stacked team and plays a more drive and kick style, that is a little harder to prep against.

That plus sga is just really fucking elite at driving better than harden has even been and harden in his prime was a good driver, that's how good sga is at driving makes it so you are forced to foul or just kinda force him into a midrange shot (and midrange are much more consistent than 3s at the expense of being less efficient unless you hit an insane rate)

With 3s it's expected to have the occasional 20 percent game followed by a 40, followed by a 33, followed by a 50.

Whereas midrange it's mire 40-50-45-40, ect so it's just easier to have a better baseline and are less prone to bad shooting nights

球迷：一個（哈登）是，要么投三分要么就是沖擊籃筐，這兩招鮮一不靈就立馬歇菜；另一個（亞歷山大）是中距離專家。

而三分球是一項出了名不穩定的技能，就連庫里也有三分失準的比賽…而且在七場系列賽中，持球大核打法更容易遭到對手針對性的布防，而且哈登真正擁有的、接近當今雷霆隊水平的完整陣容也就一次（2018年），就那一次他們還因為極端的手感冰涼（連續投丟20多個三分）才輸掉的…

而SGA所在的球隊陣容深厚，他打的是更多突分風格的籃球，這樣的打法就更難針對一些…再加上SGA的突破能力簡直他媽的是精英級別，比哈登任何時候都要好（哈登巔峰期突破其實也不錯的），可見SGA的突破有多強，逼得你只能犯規，或者勉強逼他出手中距離（中距離比三分穩定得多，代價是效率稍低，除非你準得離譜）。

投三分的話，可能這場20%，下場40%，再下場33%，再下場50%，起伏大是很正常的…

而中距離更像是40%、50%、45%、40%等等，所以更容易有一個較好的基礎準頭，更不容易遇到糟糕的手感冰涼之夜…

[–]Humdiddledeedee [score hidden] 31 minutes ago

Well said. Another reason the midrange is an advantage is that it is a lot more reliable to draw fouls there. Especially in the playoffs.

When you're an elite mid-range threat it's a lot easier to get people to bite on pump fakes and use your footwork/midpost game to draw fouls as opposed to hardens tricks for people reaching on his drives / falling down on contested 3s.

球迷：說得好！中距離另一個優勢是，更容易造犯規，尤其是在季后賽…

當你是一個頂級的中距離威脅時，你更容易用假動作點起對手，利用你的腳步和肘位背身技術來造犯規，這跟哈登那種靠對手掏他球（的時候抬手騙犯規）或者投三分時摔倒的把戲不一樣…

The only similar playstyle they have is drawing fouls. Shai does a lot more than Harden and doesn't solely relies on shooting free throws. Like Kobe said, Harden playstyle does not work in the playoffs, and it shows.

Now, in Hardens defense, James Harden was basically the Rockets offense, once his offense does not work, it's hard for them to win because then they went from Harden Basketball to just throw it to someone hot and hope it works. It's very similar to the early days of Tatum Celtics. SGA has JDub as his second option, and the whole team is defensive minded including SGA. Harden is great in the post in defense but other than, he's a traffic cone, there's really not much he can do because he spends way more energy trying to score, that combine with his conditioning.. it's just a recipe for disaster. He gets lazy and shut down.

熱火球迷：他倆唯一相似的打法就是造犯規…但是SGA比哈登做的事情要多得多，他不僅僅依賴罰球…就像科比說的，哈登的打法在季后賽行不通，事實也證明了這一點…

同時也為哈登說句公道話，他當年基本上就是火箭的整個進攻體系，一旦他的進攻失靈，球隊就很難贏球，因為到了那時，球隊戰術就從“哈登戰術體系”變成“誰手熱誰來”了，這和早期塔圖姆的凱爾特人很像…SGA有杰倫·威廉姆斯作為二當家，而且全隊包括SGA自己都是防守型球員。哈登的低位防守不錯，但除此之外就是個馬路樁子，他實在做不了太多，因為他把更多精力花在進攻上，再加上他的體能狀況…簡直就是災難…他一累會變得懶惰然后徹底熄火…

Did you even watch Harden???? Dude was a multiple time assist leader and just all around offensive engine. Also why do you keep quoting Kobe? Kobe struggled in the playoffs too after Shaq left and people said the exact same thing about his play style and then the lakers got him better teammates and all of sudden the play style stuff didn't matter. Prime Harden pretty much exclusively lost to the Warriors in the playoffs and in every matchup they had the better team.

球迷：你到底看過哈登打球嗎？？？這家伙拿過好幾次助攻王，是個全能的進攻發動機！還有你為什么老是引用科比？科比在奧尼爾離開后季后賽也掙扎過，人們也說過同樣詬病他打法的話，然后湖人給他找了更好的隊友，然后突然他的打法問題就不重要了…巔峰哈登在季后賽幾乎只輸給過勇士，而且每次對決，勇士都是更強的那支球隊…

[–]Heatfrostfeint3 [score hidden] 36 minutes ago

Did you read anything I just said? Stop spending your time defending him so much and read what I just said. Lakers played Kobe basketball until they got better teammates. Rockets played Harden basketball even when they did not work. Isn't obvious once CP3 went down, they lost in game 7?

It's just dumb that the Harden fans always tries to defend Harden with "well he got unlucky, went against Warriors dynasty". Brother, at this point, Hardens legacy is basically losing against the Warriors. LOSING. Harden fans really should try harder defending their player like he won MVP against LeBron James. Maybe you should praise him as one of the best offensive engine of all time, but it just doesn't work in the playoffs. Both can be right. SGA is just a better player compared to Harden because he played both side, so when his offense doesn't work, at least he has defense. What the fuck does Harden do when his offense doesn't work? Miss 27 straight 3 points?

熱火球迷：你到底有沒有讀我剛才說的話啊？別光想著替哈登辯護，先好好讀讀我說了什么啊…湖人在陣容改善之前，迫不得已才打科比籃球的（科比作為持球大核），而反觀火箭，他們是硬來啊，不管效果好不好，總是哈登作為持球大核，而且保羅一受傷他們就在G7輸了，這還不明顯（哈登持球大核打法在季后賽不行）嗎？

哈登球迷總是用“他運氣不好，碰上了勇士王朝”來辯護，這太蠢了…兄弟，到了如今這個地步，哈登的名聲基本上就被貼上“輸給勇士”的標簽了…是個輸家，懂？哈登球迷真的應該拿一些更有力的證據為他辯護才行！比如，哈登可是從詹姆斯手里搶到MVP的那個人啊！也許稱贊他是史上最好的進攻發動機之一，確實沒什么問題，但這他在季后賽就是行不通啊，這兩點并不沖突…SGA就是比哈登更好的球員，因為他攻防一體，所以當他的進攻不靈時，至少還有防守。反觀哈登，他進攻不靈時在他么干嘛呢？連續投丟27個三分嗎？
