The dream five-player group in Harden’s heart: The ultimate collision of talent and strength

On August 12, Clippers star Harden faced the interesting topics raised by the host in a program interview - the best starting five-man in his heart among the teammates he has worked with (at their peak and included themselves). This topic instantly sparked heated discussion among fans. After all, Harden's career has been many teams and has fought side by side with many stars. His choice has attracted much attention. In the interview, the host pointed out that he was a teammate at his peak. Harden first thought of choosing Howard at the center and praised him as a good person. But after a little thought, Harden fell into a tangle in the face of the difficult choice of point guard position. After all, Paul, Westbrook and Irving are all powerful point guards. Finally, Harden gave the answer: Irving, Westbrook, himself, Durant and Embiid.

Irving, this defender with superb ball control skills, was like a lively dancer on the court at his peak. He has extremely strong singles ability, and his big heart performance at critical moments is amazing. Whether it is breaking through the defense or three-pointers from the outside, he can give his opponent a fatal blow. Harden's outstanding performance with the Clippers last season was obvious to all, with 22.8 points, 8.7 assists and 5.8 rebounds per game, becoming the only player in the league to rank among the top ten in total scores, assists, steals and three-point shootings. If Irving partnered with Harden in the backcourt, Irving's offensive firepower combined with Harden's organization and scoring ability will definitely make the opponent's defense line lose sight of one thing.

Westbrook is known for his explosive physical fitness and tenacious fighting spirit. He has a strong impact, is good at breaking through the basket and scoring, and his rebounding ability is also very good among guards. Westbrook and Harden played together with the Thunder and had a very tacit understanding between them. In this starting lineup built by Harden, Westbrook can use his own impact to tear open the opponent's defense line, create more opportunities for his teammates, and also provide strong support in rebounding.

Harden himself, as the league's top scorer and organizer, led the Clippers to fifth place in the Western Conference last season, was selected for the All-Star for the 11th time and was selected for the All-Star team. His three-pointer with a step back is unique, and his passing vision after the breakthrough is extremely broad. He is the core hub in this lineup. He can control the rhythm of the game and connect the entire team's offense.

Durant has extremely outstanding scoring ability, and he is tall and has long arms and almost no one can limit his shooting. Whether it is a mid-range jump shot or a three-point shooting, Durant can easily hit it. He showed strong offensive firepower when he worked with Harden on the Nets. In this starting lineup, Durant is undoubtedly the target of the opponent's focus, but his presence can also open up space for other teammates and create more offensive opportunities.

Embid, as an inside giant, has rich offensive methods, and is extremely lethal in back-to-back singles and mid-range shooting. It is a solid barrier on the defensive end. His dominance at the basket can effectively protect the rebounds, lay a solid foundation for the team's defense, and also provide the team with stable scoring on the offensive end. The starting five-man team selected by Harden combines super offensive firepower, excellent organizational skills and strong inside dominance. Each player is the best in his respective position at his peak. If this lineup can fight side by side on the field, it will surely bring countless wonderful moments to the fans. I believe that after seeing Harden's choice, fans will also outline the scene of this fantasy lineup galloping across the field in their hearts, and look forward to seeing the wonderful performance of similar combinations in reality one day.
