In Leonard's absence, Harden should shoot more. In the second quarter, Powell and Theis scored successively, Jaylen Brown and Brissett responded, Harden put a cold arrow with three points, Holiday also returned with three points, Harden scored three points again, and the beard should play like this, but the Clippers defense is bad, and the Green Army is on the outside, Census Reed, Brissett and Hauser went in a string, and Coach Lu had to call a timeout, and after coming back, Zubac ate cake, George jumped, Tatum went down to earth, hit three points successively, and then made 3+1, Kobe Brown was also blown a first-class foul because of his stepping on Tatum, Jaylen Brown shot, the difference has come to 21 points, George and Harden teamed up to stop the bleeding, but the Green Army always responded, Powell scored three points, and the Clippers beat the Clippers 51-68 Green Army at halftime.

Yibian fights again, the Clippers must strengthen their outside defense, Harden lays up at the beginning, White hits a three-point response, Jaylen Brown jumps, the difference returns to 20 points, Tatum and Jaylen Brown take turns to exert force, the difference comes to 25+ in a blink of an eye, Coach Lu is very helpless, can only shout a timeout, George three points and Zubac empty catch to stop the bleeding, Coffey also hit a layup, I thought the Clippers were going to exert force, but Tatum, Holiday and Horford hit three-pointers, which was very helpless, the Clippers gave too many open opportunities, and the difference actually broke through 30 points after a wave, Tatum was cushioned by Zubac again, causing a three-point foul, the latter was blown T, Holiday can still score three points, Harden shot in the middle, Wei Shao made 2 + 1, Tatum responded 3 + 1, and the Clippers 81-106 Green Army at the end of the third quarter.

There is still suspense about this point difference, but the Clippers surrendered directly, the beginning was the bench lineup, Wei Shao hat Jaylen Brown, Boston three-point shot, Powell layup, Theis 2 + 1, the difference is only 23 points, it stands to reason that if you change to the starting lineup at this time, you may be able to evaluate it, but unfortunately the Clippers did not do this, the Green Army took the opportunity to exert force, Cott, White and Census Reed took turns to score, and the point difference instantly returned to 30+, The Green Army is also relieved to start changing the bench, Tyce played well in garbage time, but on the whole, the Green Army still has the upper hand, the camera has been given to the bench many times, Harden has tears in his eyes, and finally the Clippers lost to the Green Army 108-145, a humiliating defeat.

I thought it would be a good matchup, but I didn't expect it to be one-sided, and looking at the whole court, poor outside defense and rebounding were the main reasons for the Clippers' loss. In terms of statistics, George got 21 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, and his performance was okay, Harden had 14 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 4 turnovers, and 6 of 13 on the offensive end, and the number of shots was still too small. Zubac had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Coffey had 2 points and 2 rebounds, and Mann was embarrassed, scoring 0 of 10 points without a point. Theis had a commendable 15 points, Willis had 12 points, five rebounds and five assists, Boston had 13 points and three rebounds, and Powell had seven points.

It turns out that it really can't be done without Leonard, the Clippers need to recognize the reality, the last game lost to the Thunder, the Clippers also had a bad defense, Leonard was not there, the Clippers offense and defense were all down, and Harden couldn't cut high scores, so it was not difficult to understand the loss. According to statistics after the game, the Clippers conceded 145 points this season, the previous 144 points against the Mavericks, and the Green Army made 25 of 53 three-pointers, setting a new record for the number of three-point shots made by a home opponent in the history of the Clippers. And after the game, who noticed Wei Shao's actions? Wei Shao personally walked next to Harden and comforted the bearded man, and the relationship between the two was really good. The Clippers suffered two straight losses, 17-12 fell from 5th to 6th in the West, and were overtaken by the Pelicans, hoping that Leonard can return as soon as possible.

Green Army statistics, Tatum 30 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Jaylen Brown 24 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 turnovers, Holiday 20 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists, White 18 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks, Horford 6 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.
