33 points + 29 points! No. 1 in the league! Take the initiative to hand over the ball, but I didn't expect it to be easier to cut high scores

There are many stars in the NBA league, and each star has a different style and characteristics of playing, some stars like to have the ball in their hands, and they can score high points only if they have the ball, and some stars don't need to hold the ball to score high scores. For example, Klay Thompson, who was at his peak, had a strong ability to catch and shoot three-pointers, making 14 three-pointers in a single game and scoring 60 points in 29 minutes in a single game (the least time in history). In the current NBA league, three-point shooting is becoming more and more important, and the ability to shoot three-pointers when receiving the ball is particularly important. Good 3-and-D players who are both very good at catching and shooting threes, such as Anunoby and Brogdon. 33 points + 29 points! No. 1 in the league! Take the initiative to hand over the ball, but I didn't expect it to be easier to cut high scores.

American media NBA experts wrote an article to analyze that when Harden first joined the Clippers, the Clippers suffered six consecutive defeats, and at that time, Tyronn Lue always liked to arrange Leonard + Paul George + Harden + Wei Shao four stars to play at the same time, but this effect is not good, and the whole league can see it. Later, Wei Shao took the initiative to ask Ying to play as a substitute, and let Leonard, Paul George and Harden lead the starting lineup. It was this simple operation that the Clippers began to turn defeat into victory, playing a wave of 9 consecutive wins, and the effect of the combination of Harden and Cajun is getting better and better, and the good chemistry of the Clippers is gradually established.

NBA experts believe that the initiative sacrifice of Wei Shao, the initiative of Leonard and Paul George, and the initiative of Leonard and Paul George, let Harden take control of the starting lineup, which is the most important reason for the Clippers' counterattack. Harden is a very smart playmaker with a super basketball IQ and can switch between crazy scoring and passing playmaking at will, which is where a two-way guard excels. Leonard and Paul George reduced their ball handling, took the initiative to put the ball in the hands of Harden, and let Harden organize, and the average points per game of the two did not decrease, but increased. In the first 10 games, Paul George averaged only 20.3 points per game, and in the last 12 games, Paul George averaged 24.9 points per game, with a true shooting rate of 65%, and his efficiency has also improved.

Paul George bluntly said in the interview that Harden is very good at dribbling, he can attract a lot of defensive attention with the ball, I have been playing more and more easily lately, Leonard and Harden can create open space for me, and I can finish them by catching the ball and shooting three points. In the regular season between the Clippers and the Raptors, in the final moments, Paul George received the ball and scored a key three-pointer to kill the game. Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue also said that the team's introduction of Harden not only solved the organizational problem, but also freed up Kajiao, and Leonard and George could play more easily and more handily.

In the regular season between the Clippers and the Suns, Paul George shot 8 of 14 and 6 of 10 three-pointers, scoring 33 points + 7 rebounds + 3 assists + 2 steals. In the game between the Clippers and the Raptors, Paul George made 5 of 9 three-point shots, scored 29 points + 7 rebounds + 6 assists + 2 steals + 1 block, he and Leonard both scored 29 points, and at the same time 0 turnovers, the first pair of duos in Clippers history to do this. Paul George has been 20+ in 12 consecutive games recently, with a three-point shooting rate of 48.6%, which is as steady as a needle. Moreover, Paul George shot a whopping 54.2% of his catch-and-shoot three-point percentage (the first in the league).

Leonard and Paul George took the initiative to give up the ball and reduce the ball, Harden was in control, but they didn't expect them to be easier to cut high scores, and Harden was really very selfless when he played point guard. When Harden assists for a double-double, the Clippers have an 11-1 record. Now whether it is Tyronn Lue or the Pepper combination, they all like Harden more in charge, and the chemistry between Harden and Pepper will definitely get better and better. Leonard has signed an early contract extension with the Clippers (3 years, $152.4 million), and Paul George also wants to renew his contract with the Clippers for a long time. Clippers owner Ballmer has previously stated that the team will go to great lengths to keep the Pepper Harden combination.
