Harden scored 19 seconds and 9 minutes! Compared with McGrady’s 35 seconds and 13 minutes and Murray’s 32 seconds and 12 minutes, which one is more difficult?

In today's NBA game, the Clippers and Celtics faced off. After the start of the new season, both teams struggled. The Clippers have frequently encountered injury problems.

As in the previous situation, Leonard continues to be unable to play due to injury. For most of the game, the rhythm was firmly controlled by the Celtics.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Harden officially broke out. He almost took charge of the entire team's offense. In the last 19 seconds of the final quarter, he scored 9 consecutive points, once helping the team to catch up to only one point.

But it is a pity that he failed to hit the winning three-pointer at the last moment, and the Clippers lost to the Celtics 118-121. Today's Harden moment is believed to remind many fans of Tracy McGrady's moment and Murray's moment. So which of the three super-god moments is more difficult and valuable? Let us dismantle it from multiple angles.

First, let's look at Harden's moment today. Although the Celtics are currently not ranked high, they are only ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference. But their defense ranks among the best in the league.

So far this season, their points per game average is second only to the Thunder, ranking second in the league. Therefore, in terms of defensive intensity and hardness, the Celtics are undoubtedly a tough nut to crack.

Next, let’s focus on the background of Harden’s moment. At that time, the team was already far behind. The Celtics' overall defense is already in a relatively lax state, so Harden was not particularly closely guarded by his opponents when scoring consecutive points.

From the perspective of results, Harden failed to hit a three-pointer at the last moment and failed to drag the game into overtime. This is slightly inferior in terms of storytelling.

Next, let us pay attention to Murray's moment. This game took place in the regular season of the 2016-17 season. The Thunder faced off against the Trail Blazers. Although the Trail Blazers were regulars in the playoffs at the time, their results were basically at the level of a first round trip, and the team's defense was almost negligible.

Then let's pay attention to the game situation. At that time, the Nuggets were already far behind, and the game almost entered "garbage time". At that time, the Trail Blazers had replaced all major players such as Lillard. So when Murray started his personal performance, he didn't encounter any defense at all, he just watched him score.

From the perspective of results, although he performed a magical moment of 32 seconds and 12 minutes in this game, the Nuggets still lost the game.

Finally, let’s take a look at a McGrady moment that has gone down in NBA history and is still talked about by fans today. In terms of opponents, the Rockets faced the Spurs at home. The Spurs were one of the strongest teams in the league at the time. In addition to their GDP combination, they also had a number of outstanding role players.

The Spurs that season were the best defensive team in the league. They were often able to limit their opponents' scoring to less than 80 points. Moreover, Duncan and Bowen in the Spurs are both defensive experts.

Next, let’s look at the game process. In the final stage, the Rockets were still lagging behind, and McGrady began to fight back. In order to curb his scoring, Duncan and Bowen both took on the important task of defending McGrady, but they still could not stop him from scoring wildly.

Judging from the final result, McGrady finally helped the Rockets stage a shocking comeback and win the game at home. The story is far more interesting than the two above.

To sum up, McGrady's moment is undoubtedly the most difficult one. In terms of the opponent's defensive strength, the performance of the defensive players, and the final result of the game, he is the most difficult one.

Harden was able to rank second at the moment. The Celtics had good defensive capabilities. Unfortunately, Harden failed to perform the script of leading the team into overtime.

Murray's moment is the most difficult. The opponent is not strong and still scores points in garbage moments. In the end, the team still fails to win.
