Apply for a deal and choose to join the Clippers! He is infamous, this time he didn't make a mistake!
The Clippers beat Miami in a tough game, and I think it was one"Pyrrhic victory"。The crowd will definitely feel that oppressive atmosphere, that tense atmosphere, which is obviously prepared by Miami for this encounter, and this tense atmosphere will only be seen in the playoffs or in the finals. They pushed and tore each other apart, not giving each other any room to fight back at all. The Clippers started to panic, and they were pulled away by double digits. But the Clippers have told people with facts that they are in the top three in the West, and they are not in vain. And now, the Lakers are facing the dilemma of two-time MVP winner Kawhi Leonard. After being drafted to be a player for the Clippers, he was considered to be on the team"Cancer", but then his performance was a big disappointment.
However, Leonard alone will not be enough for the team to win, they will have to have another stronger player. George was replaced, Wei Shao did not have the miraculous performance he had before, and Harden stepped up and became the team's offensive workhorse and the team's No. 2 man. Harden had 21 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists, a near-triple-double, 1 steal, 1 block, he averaged +10 points per game, and he had the largest plus/minus of any starter. What's more, these numbers don't say a lot about Harden's quality, and when the game came to an end, both of them struggled to score again, and Harden stepped up, hitting three three-pointers and hitting a 3+1.
After that, when the Clippers pulled the deficit to double digits, their morale began to slow, and on their home court, it became a little uneasy. Not only is Harden excellent offensively, but he's also excellent defensively. It was also a turning point in the game, and the Miami Heat also asked Butler to play against Harden, but Harden didn't help them at all, and in their opinion, they couldn't compare to Harden at all. The results once again confirmed that Harden is indeed the best in the world in terms of defending the low post, and even people outside the three-point line are very difficult to deal with Harden.
This season, Harden is undoubtedly the most painful player in NBA history. Perhaps many people have forgotten that Harden was said to be a "cancer", the 76ers yelled during the holidays, Harden was ridiculed by countless people, and finally forced to sell beer. Ironically, the Clippers have already suffered six defeats. But as it turned out, Harden was still very persistent. First of all, Wei Shao did not hesitate to risk his life in order to make way for Harden, which is enough to show that the stars of the Clippers are not as selfish as the superstars unearthed in Harden's era, they are more on the team's standpoint than on the individual standpoint.
Second, Harden was right about his boss. If that's the case, then even if no one can do it, Leonard can step up and save the team. This season, Leonard has always been like this, as a star, as the owner of a team, Leonard doesn't care about any statistics, as long as the players are outstanding, he will not hesitate to chase them, and for the players, he doesn't care about that. And when the team encountered problems and his teammates did not perform well, Leonard did not live up to everyone's expectations, he wanted the ball, asked for people, and did not shake the pot, at this moment, it was in stark contrast to the 76ers Harden and Embiid.
The next thing to do is Harden's own business, what he has to do is to let everyone know that he is not here"Mix"In this league, he just wants to be a member of the league and fight for an eventual championship. To be a real player, you can't do it with just a few point guards. If Harden does not strengthen his aggression, at home, the opponent will only stare at Leonard, which will make Leonard more uncomfortable, and his game efficiency will be greatly reduced, and if Harden wants to win, he must show his strength, and then find his own state, so that his teammates around him will be more relaxed.
Prior to this, Harden had been suspected of having a hip injury. But the reality is the opposite, the reason why the 76ers were able to beat the Celtics in the Western Conference Final Four was entirely because Harden cut 40+ terrifying data, and this was because Embiid was injured and Harden was alone. Harden was Leonard's No. 2 position, and his presence greatly eased Leonard's burden and made it easier for the Clippers to attack, and they quickly gained the upper hand and returned to the rhythm of the game.
