Questioned about his performance between the 76ers and Celtics, Harden warned reporters after his great performance in Game 1 of the NBA semifinals: “Do you know what I mean? I just want to be aggressive, shoot the basketball and do what I want. It went really well. … I saw that I am capable of doing this, so it was good. It was good to take those pictures, to give ourselves a chance“.
Harden seized the moment and gave details of how he managed to hit the ball that ended up being decisive for the outcome of the match: “I walked off the court and wondered if they were going to put two more on the ball. And then when I crossed the line and pulled the ball back, it was like, ‘I’m home, it’s one on one.’ … So I just looked up and said, ‘Okay, this is what I work on every day. I took the best position, I didn’t care what it was. And then, you know… I raised my head and fired“.

The star highlighted that the whole team came in aware of what was needed to overcome the absence of their main athlete. James took responsibility, put the ball under his arms and made history with a spectacular 45 points.
“I don’t need to make a statement. My coaches, my teammates, what they expect me to do throughout the year is be an enabler and give Joel the basketball and score when needed. Joel wasn’t here tonight, you know what I mean? And, we knew that going into this series”, he explained before concluding that:
“I thought, ‘Okay, open the floor. James, be aggressive.’ And tonight, I was aggressive. So it’s not that I can’t do that, it’s just… this is my role for this team. Now, if you want me to do (which you did) tonight, then I can do that too. I don’t think many players can do that. So yes I appreciate it“, finished.
