The Clippers managed to become the No. 1 in the West! The trade Harden was successful, and he won 26 of 31 games!
On the 7th Beijing time, the NBA game was still going on, and the two teams played round after round in the East, first losing to Utah and then losing to Chicago. Therefore, the Clippers, who do not have any competition, have jumped to the top of the Eastern Conference, which has surprised many people, but this is also related to the Clippers' recent excellent performance, and Harden has also played a big role.
Recall that Harden had just joined the Clippers and suffered six losses, and he once said, "If we get it, it's going to be a really bad time." ”
Harden's voice sounded a little funny, and you know, the Clippers just went through six losses and their morale was extremely low. As for Harden, I think he's been in a really bad state, and maybe next season, he's not going to be able to get a foothold in the league.
But soon, they found their rhythm, they won several games in a row, morale was high, and the four strong teams quickly formed a good combination. After 31 rounds, the Clippers are also 26-5, maintaining the level at that time. When they first won the championship, the Clippers lost 3-7, and they were once considered to be an invincible team in the Final Four, but soon, the Clippers ushered in a counterattack, with a score of 34-15, which made them closer and closer to the top of the Eastern Conference and marched all the way.
Although there are losses for the Forest team and the Thunder team, it is more because of the ability of the Clippers themselves, if there is no victory, they will not have the results they have now. Since December, the Clippers' offensive efficiency has reached the best level in the world, and their defense is also very strong, the Heat are better at defense, and the Hawks are on offense, which is their most terrifying part. And most importantly, the overall strength of this team is also very strong, Leonard, George, have all set a season record for the highest score.
There's no doubt that Harden was a huge win on this deal. Batum and Covington were reluctant to leave, but the addition of Harden has greatly increased the team's potential. With Harden here, Leonard and George's defense is more relaxed, and their physical fitness has also been greatly improved. The current top spot in the East is just the beginning, and their ultimate goal is to win a championship.
