The NBA regular season continues with the Clippers taking on the Spurs on the road. Interestingly, this is the third meeting between the two teams this season, and the Spurs are completely point-giving in front of the Clippers. In the first battle, the Clippers won by 40 points, and in the second battle, the Clippers won by 25 points, which really couldn't be beaten. The Clippers started with 5 wins and 7 losses, and went through 3 stages, 3-1 when Harden didn't come, Harden came to the last 6 consecutive defeats (Harden played 5 games), and then the Clippers defeated the Rockets in a row (Harden 3 + 1 quasi-kill), Spurs (Harden 13 points, 10 assists and 0 turnovers led the team to three quarters), and got back on track. In fact, it is a wise choice for Wei Shao to take the initiative to ask Ying to be a substitute, his projection shortcomings + Harden's way of controlling the ball is out of sync. Tyronn Lue let Harden + Leonard take the starters, and George + Wei Shao took the bench, which worked very well, in Leonard's words, with Harden, he played too easily.

As the strongest talent, Wembanyama rookie averaged 18.2 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.6 blocks per game this season, but the two-point shooting rate was only 42%+26%. Not accustomed to defensive methods such as confrontation and pinch shots, the blocking and dismantling efficiency is low, and he likes to float on the outside to shoot, and his shortcomings are more obvious. The Spurs actually lack a veteran player similar to Paul, who has grown up with young people like Wembanyama, Johnson, and Vassell. Spurs starters: Sochan + Branham + Johnson + Wembanyama + Collins.
