In the Suns' game against the Clippers in January, Booker's plus/minus was the lowest plus/minus in the game at -31, the Suns were 7-3 in the last ten games, and the Clippers were 8-2, but this did not affect Booker's best of the month. Leonard played so well this month, in December and January, Leonard led the Clippers to a 23-5 record, such a leading record, and lost to Booker in the best of the month?
There's really no way, the average playing time per game this month is too little, often clocking out in the third quarter, the number of shots is less, the free throws are less, the shooting rate is high, and the mistakes are few, this kind of key care of the player has two games with 0 mistakes, everyone says that only Durant and Leonard can compare, in fact, I think that the current level of competition Durant is really not as good as Xiaoka, the offensive efficiency of the two is about the same, In terms of mistakes alone, Xiaoka averages one per game, and Durant averages more than 3 per game, not to mention the defensive end. The Grim Reaper has now lost control of the game, it used to be a high-intensity playoff game, and it was taken care of with a lot of mistakes, but now there are so many mistakes in the regular season.
When Harden plays poorly this season, you will find a situation, that is, basically Xiaoka and George can play games on the court, Harden will score a dozen points, or a few points, but Leonard and George, one person is not there, Harden will score 17, 18 or 30 points. The reason is that Leonard and George are so good, Harden only needs to control the whole court to play with assists and substitutes.
The awards in the regular season are all retreat, after all, it is a business league, and it is necessary to protect the box office. Booker's sixty or seventy points at every turn will definitely attract new fans more. It doesn't matter if you lose, who doesn't like a lone hero who has a skill but fails tragically when he is young? After experiencing it, I know that ruthless people are moody and inconspicuous, and they look inconspicuous, but they don't blink when they kill people.
Many people say that it was Harden who brought about the transformation of the Clippers, but Harden is really powerful, but the premise of your strength is that Leonard and George are also powerful, and Harden's arrival can make it easier for the forward twin stars to play, so Harden can sort out the offense when Leonard and George can be on the court, and just play assist, which is also the reason why Leonard and George stay healthy and play efficiently, which depends on Leonard and George's own strength, otherwise, you ask Harden to play two assists like Russell, Also in vain.
Harden can make Leonard and George, and Leonard and George can make Harden, and the two complement each other. Harden didn't come, and Leonard and George were both passers and defenders, so the effect was not too good, and they were prone to injury. Now the Clippers have such a record, which is achieved by the whole team cooperating with each other and sacrificing each other, not by relying on a single player. Wei Shao went to play as a substitute for the team and Harden, Harden was willing to sacrifice the right to shoot for the championship to assist Leonard and George, Leonard and George also sacrificed singles, handed over the ball to Harden to organize, control the whole court, and the bench players made a lot, and everyone has credit.
Of course, Harden is here, the biggest improvement of the Clippers is the bench, playing more like team basketball, playing singles like the Suns before he came, and now it's sharing the ball, whoever is vacant shoots, and the key balls Leonard and George are engaged, so relaxed, physical strength is enough to defend more actively, and even the bench is working hard to defend, and everyone is happy. Bloom more, pull one or two basically don't worry, there are always people on the bench who stand up, the advantage of the Clippers is on the bench, the starters are basically about the same for the river, in general, Harden's improved bench, shared the number of shots and playing time of Leonard and George, so that Leonard and George's physical fitness can be relieved, and he can't attack every game, but you won't let him go, the hell knows that he has to be super god. But you can trust him to make the pass. Harden is here, and the brothers can attack with peace of mind and reduce injuries. This is also the reason why the Clippers owner did not hesitate to trade Harden, who is really a point guard now!
Having said that, let's continue to talk about Leonard, there will always be a moment, I think the Clippers will still be difficult to realize their dreams this year, not because Leonard and they are not strong, but because they are not treated well by the league. This alliance can control everything. Isn't Leonard the kind of honest man in China's environment? Introverted and don't like to talk, what is the situation of people with this attribute personality in all walks of life in China? Needless to say, the three-year-old beggar on the roadside knows that this kind of person is bullied, ridiculed, suppressed, squeezed, suffered, and taken advantage of all the time.
Now NBA traffic and ** are king, so those awards for ** and traffic participation, in fact, don't care too much. Even sometimes the game with the intervention of spinach can't be taken too seriously, and the championship is already the most objective thing about basketball now, and it is only relative. #nba#
