After nine consecutive wins, the Clippers immediately suffered two more straight defeats;Nine consecutive wins and wins are all from the bottom of the rankings, and two consecutive defeats are against teams higher than their own ranksThe devil's schedule did not become the devil, and the championship color seems to have failed the inspection;Fortunately, Leonard didn't play in both games, at least leaving the fans room for reverie to win;The current Clippers are too easy to predict, you think he's going to win in a row, he's going to win in a row!You think he's going to lose in a row, he's losing in a row!Obviously, such predictability is not enough to challenge for the championship.
In the past nine consecutive wins, Harden seems to be back to the top, with his ability to control the team, he can basically ensure that the team's lower limit will not be too low, at least the ability to abuse vegetables is no problem, with Harden here, the Clippers' regular season results, the ranking must be high, so that it can win a favorable position for the playoffs, which can reduce the difficulty of advancing to the Western Conference semifinals to a certain extent, avoid encountering strong opponents in the first round, and re-take the old road of a round tour.
But Harden is currently from his peak, there are only six or seven successes, of which the biggest decline is the ability to break through and make fouls, the Clippers want to go far, Harden only makes a few free throws a game, which is obviously not enough, the game is more critical moments, the referee's star whistle is the winning weapon of many teams, and for the Clippers, Harden is the most suitable candidate, even if the referee gives you a whistle, you have to make a foul!
If Harden is the team's lower limit is a guarantee, then Leonard is the ceiling of the Clippers, nine consecutive wins In addition to Harden playing at his peak, Leonard also dreamed of returning to the Spurs and Raptors era, becoming the biggest contributor to the nine consecutive winsWhat George doesn't have, the more he gets to the playoffs, the more he needs Leonard's consistency, and he decides how far the Clippers can go.
Judging from the games with the Thunder and the Celtics, the Thunder is always a little bit weaker, and it is a bit regrettable to lose in the end;But when playing with the league's top Celtics, without Leonard, there is basically no ability to fight back, not only losing, but also losing like an ugly loss, because the overall defensive ability has dropped too much, only outside the three-point line, let the family score more than 20 three-pointers, and finally more than 30 points home defeat.
At least from the two consecutive defeats, it can be seen that although the Clippers have run in to a certain extent, there is still a certain gap from the super strong team, Harden left Leonard, and immediately the plus/minus value reached -34, indicating that with the current ability of Harden, there must be a superstar match, otherwise the weakness of technical ability will be exposed.
Leonard missed two games, giving the reasons for injuries, everyone knows that the key to the Clippers' results depends on health, and this season Kazige is doing his best for a new contract!I don't do any rotation rest, less than half of the season, I reached the attendance rate of the whole season in the past, and when I was in the Big Three last year, I kept taking turns off, but I was really injured, and I did Wei Shao to hug my thigh, but in the end it became my thigh.
This year, I think Leonard can do a good job of the rotation, because Harden is here, the Big Three have become the Big Four, and there are three people in each game, which can ensure enough winning rate to cope with the results of the regular season, and can also give Wei Shao, who takes the initiative to play as a substitute, more playing time, but he can go up and rush, maybe there will be unexpected surprises, and finally he can maintain a sense of mystery and prepare for the playoffs.
