It was somewhat confusing to see, considering that Harden had entered the game in such good form; he should have been handling the ball more.
However, Hansen, who had experience with the Knights, soon caught on.
Thunder Three Youngsters, Thunder Four Youngsters—it sounded as though they were inextricably linked.
But was that really the case?
Or rather, could it be possible?
Westbrook was a ball handler, and Harden was a ball handler as well; conflicts over ball control were inevitable between two players with similar styles.
Before Harden had developed, the two generally staggered their playing times, so the conflict hadn't been obvious.
But now that Harden had improved, that kind of conflict had become inevitable.
In fact, Hansen had experienced similar conflicts when he had joined the Grizzlies, particularly ones with Guy.
Even this season, Guy still thought about his diminishing status in terms of control of the ball during practice games.
