The Clippers won 5 in a row, Harden showed two doubles, and Wei Shao's slump caused controversy
The battle between the Los Angeles Clippers and the New Orleans Pelicans became an exciting basketball feast. On January 6, the Clippers won 111-95 to win five in a row, not only keeping them in fourth place in the West, but also challenging for third place.
At the beginning of the game, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and the first quarter was tied at 26. However, Leonard's outstanding performance became more and more brilliant against the Fat Tiger's defense, and the game was turned into the control of the Clippers. Fat Tiger has been repeatedly targeted on the offensive end, and people can't help but sigh that he seems to have taken a basketball lesson.
Entering the second quarter, Harden's clever handwriting allowed the Clippers to show more overall strength. With a 30-15 run, they took a 15-point lead. In the next game, George and Harden took turns to make the Clippers' advantage continue to expand, and they once led by 24 points.
However, even in the joy of a five-game winning streak, the Clippers couldn't hide the slump of the bench. With just eight points in 23 minutes and frequent turnovers and fouls, Willis' performance sparked controversy. His angry criticism on the field, some people questioned whether he was playing a big name, adding some unnecessary twists and turns to the team.
In this game, Harden's double-double performance, Leonard's defensive lessons, and George's decisive offense were all key to the Clippers' success. However, the slump and controversy of Will Shao also left some tails on this victory. While the Clippers are winning, they also need to think about how to better unify the team atmosphere and whether Wei Shao can get the right attitude and meet more challenges.
The competition on the basketball court is not only a collision of technology and strategy, but also an interweaving of personality and tacit understanding. Fat Tiger cried and fainted in the toilet, Harden's skillful operation, and Wei Shao's slump made this game a topic of conversation, and also injected more expectations into future games. Results on the pitch are the last word, but the personality of the players and the chemistry of the team are also the focus of the fans' concerns.
