The Clippers have had a tumultuous time this season, but now they are shining on the NBA court with tenacity and unity. For a time, Harden's arrival caused an uproar, the team lost five games in a row, and Harden's reputation was seriously questioned. But just as the storm was about to come, the Clippers showed true team spirit and found their way out of adversity time and time again.
However, it is worth mentioning that after Harden joined, the team's performance began to gradually improve. His arrival has breathed a new breath of energy into the team, and his playmaking ability and goalscoring threat in the attacking end of the pitch have been unmatched. When Leonard, Harden, and George appeared at the same time, the Clippers' strength was at its peak. The league's highest net efficiency, offensive efficiency, defensive efficiency, and three-point shooting percentage have not only raised expectations among fans, but also scaremongered other teams.
Leonard, Harden, and George have a deeper and deeper understanding of the three stars, and they cooperate with each other on the court and are invincible. Harden's talent for organizing offense solves the team's poor organization while taking the scoring burden off Leonard and George. This not only makes the team more balanced offensively and defensively, but also enriches Tyronn Lue's tactical system. With Harden at the forefront, the Clippers have a solid scoring option in crunch time.
It is worth mentioning that Harden's form has gradually improved. So far this season, he has averaged 158 points, 44 rebounds, 68 assists, 16 steals and 05 blocks, 46% shooting from the field and 40% from three-point range4% and 85 free throw percentage3%。Despite the drop in stats compared to last season, his efficiency remains at a high level. As the season progresses, Harden's form is gradually picking up, which makes the team's future look brighter.
Now, the Clippers have achieved an 11-10 record, once again improving their win rate to more than 50%, ranking 9th in the West. They are just six wins away from leaders the Timberwolves and have about 60 games left this season to adjust and improve. The Clippers have a balanced team, a balanced offense and defense, and a deep roster, and they have the quality to compete for a championship.
Against the backdrop of fierce competition in the West, the Clippers are still expected to be championship contenders. While the big guys don't necessarily win the championship, when these stars really find chemistry, they will be an unstoppable force in the league. As a result, the Clippers are expected to go quite far this season, and the championship race is not out of reach.
The Clippers' rise is uncertain, but regardless of the road ahead, they have shown great potential and fighting power. Fans are looking forward to seeing them achieve more success this season, and the team will continue to fight hard for their championship dreams. Regardless of the outcome, the Clippers have proven themselves to be a force to be reckoned with this season, and their future is promising.
