Imagine you're on the basketball court, scoring 40 points in a single quarter, shooting ridiculously high, and becoming the first person in the 190 Club. Then, you turn your head and realize that you are not a starter. In this case, if it is put on someone else, it may be directly "I won't play" and leave, but our protagonist is different, he is still killing all sides on the field.
Talking about the 190 club, what is this concept? That means you'll have to shoot 57 percent or more from two-point range, 50 percent from three-point range, and 90 percent from the free-throw line. Doesn't that sound like this stat can only be set in the game? But that's what our protagonist did, and in a top league like the NBA.
Then, the hero, who wasn't a starter, also scored 40 points in a single quarter in a game. It's not just a demonstration of technology, it's more like saying to the criteria for picking starters, "Are you sure your choice is okay?" "This kind of performance, even the AI in the game has to give him a thumbs up.
Now, let's talk about this game. On the Clippers' side, although George is missing, everyone else seems to feel that this is an opportunity to prove themselves. Harden completely entered the Rockets mode, hitting even three-pointers, so that opponents didn't know how to defend well. Kawaii Leonard wasn't far behind, showing his true nature as a mid-distance killer, and at that moment, it was like art.
The Wizards on the other side, despite their efforts, are a little inadequate in the face of the Clippers' full-fledged firepower. Especially when the Clippers scored 40 points in the third quarter and scored 21 points, the suspense of the game was basically gone.
The most amazing thing is that Leonard scored 31 points in the third quarter, and then he was basically off duty. In the last 25 games, he became the first man in the 190 club. This kind of statistic is dazzling everywhere, but in the West, it is not enough to make him an All-Star starter.
The Clippers' victory in this game is not only a numerical victory, but also a perfect combination of "team" and "individual ability". The fans' shouts for the Clippers' main players are not only a recognition of their individual abilities, but also a recognition of the indomitable and courageous spirit they show on the court.
Now, the question is, why is this kind of performance, such a statistic, not enough to make him an All-Star starter? Is the competition in the west too fierce? Or do we need to have a new understanding of what it means to be an All-Star starter?
What do you think, how many of the four big players of the Clippers can end up on the All-Star bench? Where can they go in this competitive West? Everyone is welcome to speak freely in the comment area and share your views!
