NBA playoffs are in full swing, with both the East and West finals showing a one-sided trend. Both the Thunder and the Pacers took a 2-0 lead, and the situation of advancing to the Finals was very good. The game was full of energy and the off-court was not idle. As the schedule deepened, major awards were also released. Among the best lineup announced yesterday, 15 people were successfully selected. Among them, there were 40-year-old men and fresh blood from the post-00s, some were selected for many years, and some were elected for the first time in their careers. 33.65 million joined the Clippers, the management's masterpiece, Ballmer didn't miss it, you proved yourself again.

Take a closer look at this list this year. James, Jokic, Antetokounmpo, Curry and others have been selected for many years. Doncic and Durant failed to meet the minimum number of appearances due to injury. Five young players born in the 2000s, including Cningham and Edwards, were selected. A change about the alternation of the old and new is quietly beginning. In addition to these, there is also a familiar old face that has returned to everyone's vision. After five years, you finally found yourself - Harden. This is also the first time you have entered the best lineup since you left the Rockets. Even if it is the third team, it is a recognition, and you deserve this honor.

Count the five years after Brother Deng left the Rockets, he did not go smoothly. He traveled to the Nets, the 76ers, and finally came to the Clippers. He once formed the three luxury giants with Durant and Irving, but ended up in a hamstring injury. He went to Philadelphia and was willing to assist Enbede, but failed to make a breakthrough. After five years of going around, he finally recovered from his health. He played more than 70 games in the Clippers' regular season for two consecutive seasons (72 games last season and 79 games this season), so we finally met the familiar Brother Deng again.

Harden played 79 games in the regular season this season, averaging 35.3 minutes of playing time, contributing 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.5 steals, leading the Clippers to a record of 50 wins and 32 losses, successfully entering the playoffs. Although Deng Ge's performance in key playoffs has been criticized, you cannot question his ability to lead the team in the regular season. He has never missed the playoffs in his career and has made it to the playoffs for 16 consecutive years. This season, even though the team's core Leonard missed most of the games, he almost brought the Clippers into the playoffs alone, so it is unquestionable that Deng Ge was selected for the best team in the regular season.

Dear fans, do you think Harden deserves the best team? I personally think it is definitely worth it. I hope Brother Deng can overcome his inner demons next year and play a more exciting game. Let’s fight for a championship at the end of his career!
