James Harden's stunning performance allowed the Clippers to achieve an unexpected counterattack in the competition with the Hornets. The Clippers, who were originally labeled as a "weak team" because of the absence of core player Leonard, showed strong combat effectiveness under the leadership of Harden.
From the start of the game, Harden showed MVP-level dominance. In the first half, he single-handedly led the Clippers to a wave of offense that caught the Hornets off guard. Whether it's a breakaway or a three-pointer, Harden has shown excellent scoring skills that make it difficult for opponents to deal with.
However, the second half turned out to be extremely intense. The Hornets adopted a wrap-and-wrap tactic in an attempt to limit Harden's scoring. Although Harden has seen a slight drop in scoring efficiency, he quickly adjusted his tactics and turned his attention to playmaking. Through successive assists, he managed to create scoring opportunities for his teammates and stabilize the game.
Just when the game entered a critical moment, the Hornets launched a strong counterattack and once overtook the score. That's when Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue made the decisive decision to re-send Harden. Harden stepped up again and led a 16-0 offensive run to secure the victory.
This game not only made the head coach of the Hornets praise Harden, but also made the fans excited. Harden's performance not only showcased his all-round ability on the scoring end, but also his temperament as a leader. This counterattack game is impressive, and it also makes fans look forward to the future performance of the Clippers.
