Original title: Harden: Young people are still recovering from injury and must train hard in the gym
On September 16, Beijing time, James Harden is one of the most durable players in the NBA, but he suffered a serious injury last season. After a summer break, Harden talked about his injuries in an interview recently.
Harden recently attended a training camp and gave a passionate speech to players from the Houston TJ-Ford Basketball Academy, emphasizing the importance of professional ethics.
“None of you sweated, what are you doing? You must have been sweating profusely when you walked out from here (training hall). Today is a dry day for me because I am still recovering. You should all be sweating, You have to sweat yourself, otherwise you don’t really get involved in training.” Harden said, “Every training should be like playing a game, not just like this. Every time is very important, because it’s what you want. Preparations. I left in an hour and a half. It was just acting, it was a waste of time.”
Harden suffered from a hamstring injury last season. As early as April, Harden missed 18 consecutive games due to a right hamstring injury. Subsequently, his hamstring injury worsened again in the first game of the Nets’ second-round series against Milwaukee. It is worth mentioning that Harden was forced to leave the game less than a minute after the first quarter of that game. Harden walked directly to the locker room after the injury, and was unable to even run or jog. As a result, he missed the next three games.
Due to the serious injury, it is thought that Harden will not return to the series, but after Kyrie Irving injured his ankle, he forced himself to return to the game in the fourth game of the series. After the series, the average playing time in the three games was astonishing. 46.2 minutes. After the Nets lost to the Bucks, Harden revealed that it was a second-degree hamstring injury. He has not fully recovered, which means that he should not play the game 10 days after the injury. The good thing is that Harden now has enough time to rest and truly return to 100% status. At present, Harden is still recovering and can only participate in light training.
After losing to the Bucks in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season, the Nets hope to rebound strongly in the new season, and Harden will be an important part of their recovery. In 36 games played for the Nets last season, Harden averaged 24.6 points, 10.9 assists and 8.5 rebounds per game. Obviously, Harden’s influence on the team is huge. If he can stay healthy, the Nets will become the biggest favorite in the championship. (Morning)Return to Sohu to see more
