On December 22, Beijing time, Leonard took a rest, and the Clippers lost to the Thunder 115-134, ending a nine-game winning streak, and the Clippers player ratings are as follows:
10 points for 1 person
Powell: Played 23 minutes off the bench, 16 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, 6-of-11 and 4-of-8 three-pointers, plus/minus -2, the highest among important rotation players.
3 people passed
1. Harden: Played a team-high 23 points, 7 of 18, 4 of 9 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 23 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 block, Leonard was absent, Harden should seize the opportunity to prove himself, but unfortunately the shooting rate was only 38.8%, which was blown up by Alexander on the opposite side, and today's performance can only be said to be barely passing.
2. George: 8 of 14, 5 of 8 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, 22 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.
3, Wei Shao: Played 29 minutes off the bench, 7 of 12, 0 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, got 15 points and 13 rebounds, but had 5 turnovers, this year in the face of the old club, Wei Shao can be said to have played very well, is the only player in the game to get a double-double, but there is a fly in the ointment, too many mistakes.
2 people are bastards
1. Mann: Started 23 minutes, 2 of 8, 1 of 4 three-pointers, only 5 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist, Ballmer did not agree to Mann as a bargaining chip to trade Harden, you look at his current performance, it is better to keep Batum or Covington and trade Mann away?
2. Boston: Played 16 minutes off the bench, 3 of 10, 1 of 5 three-pointers, only 7 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 1 steal, the young man didn't take the opportunity.
Today's match proves two facts:
1. The Thunder is really powerful, and they can play second in the West, and they are really strong, Alexander has 31 points, 4 steals and 2 blocks, and Holmgren has 23 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists.
2. Leonard is too important to the Clippers, and his influence on the team is irreplaceable, and today is the time to really test the ability of Harden and George to lead the team, and it turns out that their ability to lead the team is really not as good as Leonard.
The Clippers ended their 9-game winning streak, and they have unloaded their burdens, and the winning streak will end one day, summarize the reasons, strengthen training, adjust mentality, and start again!
