Fire Brave Classic Battle of Trial, Missing Punishment + Decisive Kill, Harden s Dominance of 44+15 Triple Double

3:28am, 9 July 2025Basketball

This may be one of the most ridiculous missed judgments in NBA history - the referee was criticized by the entire network after the game, and the Golden State Warriors also brought a joke of "never out of bounds", while James Harden's "trial bid" added a legendary color to the controversy.

On January 4, 2019, the Rockets and the Warriors' regular season duel became a classic example of Harden's single-core team leading the team against the five-star Warriors, leaving behind an eternal topic of the collision between referee's penalty and superstar's will. The Warriors in 2019 are dynasties who are determined to win three consecutive championships: Durant, Curry, Clay and Green form the four giants, and former league's number one center Cousins ​​is a historically luxurious lineup. At that time, the Rockets were injured by Paul and Gordon, and only Harden was left to lead the team alone. This game is not only a revenge of Harden's reversal of being reversed by the Warriors in the 2018 Western Conference Final, but also a touchstone for the "resistance of courage" in the West. In the first quarter, the Warriors suppressed the Rockets with 12 points, and the score difference in the second quarter once widened to 20 points. The three Tsunami brothers have fully fired from the outside, and the Rockets' defense line is shattered, and the game is about to enter garbage time. But in the third quarter, Harden turned on the "Super God Mode": he scored 13 points in a single quarter, made consecutive three-pointers to retreat, led the team to a 19-7 attack wave, narrowing the gap to 6 points before the start of the fourth quarter. His performance ignited the hope of the Rockets' counterattack and also made the Warriors feel suffocating oppression.

Finally, the Rockets dragged the game into overtime under Harden. The scores of both sides were tightly tied in overtime, and the final 33 seconds tied at 132. The Warriors held the ball, Durant broke through and made a foul but failed, Harden quickly intercepted, and the two sides fought for the basketball to be on the verge of bounds - Durant broke out of the siege and transferred the ball back into the field, Clay passed it to Curry, and Curry overtook the ball. But the slow motion shows that Durant's feet were completely standing outside the court when he saved the ball, and the commentator couldn't help but question: "This ball is obviously out of bounds!" But the referee's penalty was valid, Harden's eyes were full of question marks, but fighting spirit was ignited in his heart.

In the last moment, Harden faced the double-team between Green and Thompson, and took a confident move from outside the three-point line. Basketball passes Green's fingertips and enters the net, and it's a perfect kill! Slow motion shows that Green obviously encountered Harden's wrist when defending, which should have been "three plus one", but the referee has not yet called it. But Harden resisted the pressure and used this three-pointer to break all injustice, scoring an epic triple-double with 44 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists. The commentator sighed: "This is simply not human, and it has its will."

The drama of this game is far beyond the script: 20-point reversal, referee dispute, and winning the gods. Harden's "Judgment of Judgment" is not only the pinnacle of his career, but also a milestone in the history of controversial punishment in the NBA - when technology cannot replace human punishment, the value of a superstar lies in using the body of a mortal to fight injustice and write legends.
