"NBA super-overestimated revealed! Harden's small card can't hide his shortcomings! "！
A third of the time has passed since the NBA game was played, and the situation in the NBA as a whole is very bad. The Celtics are currently in first place, the Cavaliers are in competition with the Bucks for the runner-up, followed by the Knicks and Pacers, and the final winner is fourth, the first round of the playoffs, home court advantage, and the losing team, will enter the playoffs. The Western Conference Final Four ignored the main force behind them, from the Pelicans to the Lakers, morale was lost, and the worst result was: James, Durant, Curry, the three legendary figures, had to fight for two spots in the Finals. Compared to last season, this year's newcomers have improved a lot. However, among the top teams in the East, Minnesota and the Thunder have both quietly opened up a gap with the Clippers. Why can't the Clippers make it into February?
Since beating the Rockets 149-144 on Feb. 6, the Clippers have won three straight games in their last seven games, winning three games and four losses, beating the Hornets by six points, the Warriors by five points, and the Pistons by six points. But they also have four losses, including at home: a 21-point win over Minnesota, an 11-point win over the Pelicans, a 22-point win over the Thunder, and a 16-point win over the Kings. First of all, Tyronn Lue really wanted to try his mistakes, he gave Westbrook more opportunities to play, let Tucker play, so that Harden could no longer get the ball, and gave George more opportunities, making Harden's position worse. Harden is really tired, and his shooting percentage has decreased. And against Harden and Leonard, they are not without other options. But it was George who was the first to reach the top, and then he fell.
George has made 52 appearances in his first 56 appearances of the season, which is a good statistic, but 30 percent of the time George has been absent due to injury. Let me put it simply: In the mid-December game against Golden State, George missed the game due to injury; George became ill a week after racing with the calves. In the game against the Bucks in late January, George suffered a serious groin injury, but he continued to play; This has led to incredible results from time to time: against the Bucks, he scored 12 points on 5-of-17 shooting; against the Cavaliers, 3-of-11 from the field; Against Minnesota, he was 18-of-16 from the field; Against the Pelicans, he scored 7 points on 3-of-15 shooting, 14 points on 6-of-16 shooting against the Thunder, and so on! Due to Dalglish's knee injury, the Lakers were unavailable for the previous round of games. And George was in much better shape in the game against the Pistons, he shot 24 of 14, got 33 points and 5 rebounds, it was a close matchup, but he didn't have the upper hand.
Let's take a look at those two numbers! With four defeats in seven games, the Clippers ranked 23rd in the league in offensive efficiency and 24th in defensive effectiveness! In addition, in terms of Harden's shooting percentage and appearance rate, Harden averaged 62 assists and a whopping 178 percent, compared to 35 for the Clippers7%；In December last year, Kazakhstan took 96 rebounds and 22The 2% shooting percentage helped the team achieve 846% victory; In January, Kazakhstan played an average of 96 assists, play 203%, leading the team to 80% of the wins; In February, Kazakhstan averaged a score of 71 with a score of 199%, and the victory of his teammates also dropped to 60%! Harden is really tired, since coming to the Clippers, he has played 51 games in a row, without any rest, without Harden, without Willis, they would not have scored any points at all! Harden passes the ball to his teammates, and he can pass the ball to his teammates.
Leonard's personal scoring is the highest in the NBA, and Harden's personal rebounding is also the fifth in the NBA, why at the beginning, Harden was sandwiched by two people, but now, they began to attack Leonard unscrupulously? If Leonard doesn't go, then it will be very difficult for the Clippers to win the game! The biggest problem with Leonard's passing is that his passing ability is too weak, prone to mistakes, and his eyesight is not good enough! Harden, for example, has a true shooting percentage of 638%, which is outside the 40th in the NBA, while Harden scores less than 50%, and his scoring ability is constantly decreasing, and his real value lies in his three-point range. It's true that Harden isn't good at breaking through his skills in the restricted area, and Harden is getting less and less effective at breaking through the basket. Wei Shao's salary is the best in the game, his speed, attack, and defense are all good, but what about George?
The best thing George should have done, but he failed! In fact, George's role is very simple, which is to shoot and defend. But since January, George's ball control has skyrocketed, but again, there have been all kinds of mistakes, a beautiful dribble, a difficult shot, and even a defender has not run away, it is completely an ornament! At the same time, Tyronn Lue is also preparing for Harden's defense, and he wants to find a backup in the playoffs, and the Clippers have a poor defense, and he has a short range of movement, in addition to Harden, George and Mann are among them, so there are more and more problems. George's performance is outstanding, his offensive efficiency is ninth in the league, his assists are 15th in the league, and BPM is also an All-Star, but Harden is an offensive type and Leonard is a defensive type, which makes his advantage smaller and smaller.
But when it came to the critical moment, both Harden and Leonard were still gritting their teeth, and George had already taken the lead in making his own decision! Not to mention that he was forced to play because of a groin injury before, to put it bluntly, it was to add chips to his next contract renewal. George's shooting efficiency is 150 in the NBA, he can be an All-Star, and he can also get a first-round pick, but I still suggest that George have more respect for his players, instead of waiting until his contract expires and then treat himself as a star, if the team needs him, he will be in **?
