Now the competition for the western rankings is very fierce, and if you lose one game, you may lose 2-3 rankings in a row at any time. Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue has finally figured out recently, and he has found a way to make Leonard + Paul George + Wei Shao a partner, and at the same time, Wei Shao plays the best sixth man position, and he has an excellent effect with the bench lineup. 20+11！26+6！Joining the Clippers, Nirvana is reborn, and you want to change your life against the sky to win the championship and realize your dream
This season, Ballmer of the Clippers poached Harden through a trade and formed a four-core lineup of Leonard + Paul George + Harden + Westbrook. However, Harden's initial arrival did not work well, the Clippers have been losing streaks, and the Big Four are playing at the same time, which is very poor. Later, Wei Shao took the initiative to ask Ying to play the bench and let Harden and Ka Pepper start together, that is, from Wei Shao playing the bench, the Clippers launched a new starting lineup and played this wave of 9-3 records, thereby improving the winning rate and ranking. The Big Three of Leonard + George + Harden are playing more and more fiercely in the starting lineup, playing better and better, and their dominance is getting stronger and stronger.
Leonard's recent playing form has been great, in the last game against the Jazz, he blasted 41 points + 5 rebounds + 5 assists; In this game against the Trail Blazers, Leonard slashed 34 points + 6 rebounds + 5 assists + 3 steals, both offensive and defensive. At the same time, Harden also found his form and rhythm, playing the Trail Blazers, Harden efficiently cut 20 points + 7 rebounds + 7 assists + 2 steals + 2 blocks data, at the critical moment Harden defended Anfernee Simmons and helped the Clippers get the winning ball, and Harden also played a dominant combination of offense and defense. In the game between the Clippers and the Kings, Harden made 8 of 14 shots, slashed 26 points + 3 rebounds + 6 assists + 5 steals, scored efficiently, assisted perfectly, and made crazy steals and defenses.
In addition, the Clippers played the Nuggets, and Harden efficiently cut down the data of 20 points + 2 rebounds + 11 assists + 3 steals + 1 block, and Harden helped the Pepper combination lead the team to win, thus breaking the curse of the Clippers not beating the Nuggets. Harden is shooting 41 percent from three-point range this season (a career-high) and has played some of the best defensive efficiency and steals in the Clippers since Harden joined the Clippers. Can you believe it? Harden is now one of the Clippers' defensive squads. Harden's low-post defense is a must, and his defensive guard may not be able to keep up, but defending the interior and forward, Harden's physique has an absolute advantage. In the All-Star Game that year, Harden defended Brother Alphabet, but Brother Alphabet couldn't stand it.
Now, Tyronn Lue and Leonard believe that not only does Harden play his own offensive and defensive stats and strength, but he can also help his teammates play more easily. Tyronn Lue said Harden likes to practice Xi inside and outside pick-and-rolls with Zubac and Theis after practice. The Clippers played the Trail Blazers, Zubac scored 14 points in the first quarter, and Harden gave Zubac perfect assists in a row, and the latter ate the cake and scored, and the cooperation became more and more tacit. The trolls who said Harden didn't train were slapped in the face again. Harden is now both offensive and defensive, and is willing to help his teammates improve, so Harden can't find a black spot.
Harden joined the Clippers through a trade and was reborn and reached a new peak, he wanted to change his life against the sky and join hands with the Peppers to win the championship and realize his dream. Harden, Paul George and Westbrook, who have not won a championship so far in their careers, are all in desperate need of a championship to elevate their place in history. The Clippers have played 22 games so far this season, with Leonard and Paul George as a duo staying full attendance and haven't missed a single game so far. Fans say that the Kajiao combination can finally play a season in good health. Harden and Willis can alleviate the pressure of the Pepper combination to some extent. Do you think the Clippers' Big Four have a chance to win the championship?
