The NBA regular season continued, and the Clippers easily defeated the Wizards 125-109 on the road, preventing the coming of a losing streak, and the Clippers still ranked fourth in the West with a record of 31-15, one year away from the first place in the West5 wins. After losing to the Cavaliers on the road, the Clippers quickly ushered in **, starting another wave of winning momentum with a hearty victory.
Leonard, Jr. has nothing to say, whether it is a loss to the Cavaliers or a big win over the Wizards today, Jr. has always played the role of the core boss of the team, and in the absence of George due to injury, Jr. Ka is still the first person to stand up and lead the team forward. He shot 14-of-25 from the field and 1-of-4 from three-point range, and personally scored 31 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 1 block, integrating offense and defense, and had no turnovers, with a plus/minus of +23 on the court. Although the efficiency is not full, but 25 shots are enough to see the aggressiveness of the small card, he wants to make up for some of the holes caused by George's absence as much as possible, as the core boss of the team, the early outbreak of the small card also brought himself more rest time, and his playing time happened to be stuck within 30 minutes.
Harden, Harden is a good guy today, and it seems that he has also increased his offensive aggressiveness, shooting 7-of-15 from the field, 5-of-10 from three-point range, and scored 25 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks and 2 turnovers, with a plus/minus of +20. Harden's biggest change in the Clippers is his defense, I have to admit that the environment creates a person, Harden in the Clippers not only has a good effect on the low post, but even the rotation defense on the outside is eye-catching, although the speed is still not fast, but at least the attitude is there, to be honest, this is a bit strange. However, it can be seen that Harden has really given up for the championship, the money has been sacrificed, and the infamy has been carried back, and it will be impossible to say that the championship will not be won again. And if he wants to win the championship, he can't paddle for a long time when he wants to attack, and he should make decisive shots when he should increase his aggression.
Plumlee, to be honest, Plumlee and Zubac still can't compare, of course, this may also be because he and Harden don't have enough time to run-in, after all, Zubac has been training with Harden for a long time, and they don't have more time to practice during this consecutive away period, but Plumlee has done a better job of protecting rebounds, he shot 2 of 5, got 5 points, 11 rebounds and 1 turnover, and has a plus/minus of +23 on the court. Mann contributed a lot on the defensive end, but the vitality of the offense and rebounding needs to be strengthened, shooting 2 of 6, 0 of 3 three-pointers, only 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and was frantically chased with the third team in the final quarter, with a plus/minus of only +7.
Wei Shao, today Wei Shao is still full of vitality, to tell the truth, Wei Shao who does not make mistakes is good Wei Shao, although the efficiency is low, but it can not be done, that is the biggest improvement for the Clippers. 4 of 11 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 9 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, 0 key turnovers, plus or minus +10, the Clippers' starting lineup is strong enough, as long as Wei Shao brings the bench lineup not to lose points, or to lose less points, the Clippers basically have a great chance to win whoever they play, once Wei Shao leads the team to win points, the Clippers' offense and defense throughout the game will be like mercury.
After entering the starting lineup, Coffey shot 5 of 7, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and cut down 17 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 turnover, he is very clear about his positioning, he is a scorer, I will attack when I have the opportunity, and shoot directly if there is a vacancy, without delay, this is enough. Other players like Powell, Theis and other players also played at their due level, decent, and were not affected by consecutive road trips, as long as they can follow in the footsteps of Leonard and Harden, the Clippers can't lose against the weak team, and then against the Pistons, George can continue to rest if it's not right, and come back when it's full of blood.
