Beijing time, February 22, the NBA does not have any schedule, in fact, the situation is now obvious, the Jazz and the Rockets have been left behind, they have no big stars, they can't make the playoffs in the second half of the season, and Fan's value is not low, and the Rockets' players are too young, Udoka said in an interview that they will focus more on developing young players, especially Amen and Whitmore, it is clear that the Rockets are ready to retire. Therefore, there is not much suspense for the Lakers and Warriors to advance to the play-in tournament as they have won 8 of their 10 straight games and it will be difficult to fall behind again.
New signings Gafford and Washington have been smoothly integrated into the team, Doncic is taking fewer shots, and Irving is more and more willing to cooperate, it can be seen that the Mavericks are still very strong, but if there are only the top six, it means that two of these four teams will be in the game, and it will be a tough battle. Between the top four in the East, the biggest problem is the position between them, the Nuggets have lost three games in a row, and the state is not good, but the playoffs are not the regular season, in the playoffs, the Nuggets will be stronger, Jokic, Murray, both of them are prepared for the playoffs.
The Nuggets are a very strong team and they don't really care about their position. The Timberwolves and the Thunder are different, they are both the biggest dark horses in the West, their lineup is more balanced, but their weaknesses also exist, Edwards's strength is not strong enough, and Towns's strength is not strong enough, which is why the Timberwolves will be at a disadvantage in the playoffs. The Thunder are all young players with no playoff experience and a good chance of being eliminated in the first round, and in the case of the Lakers, they don't have any chance at all. On the other hand, the Clippers, although their interior line is relatively weak, they are still a strong contender for the championship.
The playoff game is to see the strength of the superstar, the Clippers are not at a disadvantage, Leonard can dominate in the high-intensity game, and the performance of the small card in the playoffs is also very good, according to statistics, Leonard is 1From 2 meters away, he shot 52 from three-point range1%, which is the highest in the league.
In addition to Leonard, Harden will also be an insurance for the Clippers in the playoffs, many people say that the beard will be weaker in the playoffs, but this is a wrong perception, Harden's performance in the playoffs is too rebellious, last season Harden scored 45 points in G1 and 42 points in G4, if it wasn't for Embiid coming back to grab the ball, the 76ers might be able to save their lives, so you can't put all the blame on Harden. Coupled with George and Wei Shao, these two people cannot be ignored, so it is still easy for the Clippers to win.
Leonard is the main scorer, Harden is the ball handler, he can shoot more than ten three-pointers per game, George runs with the ball, Wei Shao is grabbing rebounds, they want to beat George, it is a very difficult thing, but the biggest problem now is the elusive George. Harden is the most selfless superstar in NBA history, he will pass the ball to his teammates, and Harden will not have too many assists, so Harden can play to his full strength, such as Harden, he can get 22 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists.
Against the Hawks, he scored 30 points, got 10 rebounds and 10 rebounds, played the Wizards, 25 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals, 4 blocks, played the Pacers, 35 points, 3 rebounds, 9 assists, and if he wanted to score, he could still score a lot of points, like a superstar, but a lot of times, he didn't have that ability. In Harden's career, he is a very championship-hungry person, what he lacks is a championship ring, and after the Clippers, Harden is trying to make his team stronger, he is willing to contribute to his teammates, and he is willing to stand out for his teammates, but Harden knows that if he joins the Clippers, it will be his last championship, whether this season is successful or not, he will renew his contract with the Clippers, and there are still two years to go for the championship.
Harden said the Clippers will do their best, and the beard is confident that the Clippers will not lose to any team in the series. "If we can do that, then we can win the playoffs," Harden said. Harden is on the verge of a championship, and Willis and George are facing the same problem, and they now just have to pray that the Clippers can achieve their dreams.
