On January 22, 2024, Beijing time, the NBA regular season Clippers defeated the Nets 125-114, completing a 21-point reversal! This game once again confirmed Harden's law, as long as the number of assists in a single game exceeds 10, the Clippers can basically lock up the victory! And in this game, Harden got 24 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists.
The reason why it is called an ugly game is actually from a lot of details. As mentioned in the pre-game analysis article, the outcome of this game is determined by the Clippers' determination to win or lose, and the process of the game also confirms this! The Clippers have been playing in the first three quarters, and it was not until the last quarter that the game began to increase its intensity, and a wave of 22-0 at the end of the quarter. Another victory.
At the beginning of the game, after a four-day break, the Clippers lost themselves as a whole, and the Nets went on a 16-0 run at the beginning, although they also gave the Nets an 18-2 run under Mann's leadership. But since then, because Leonard and George continued to have a bad hand, the Nets pulled the score away again.
Although the two main players Leonard and George did not feel good, they did not immediately change the way of playing, Leonard is better, usually holding the ball to the basket before making signature shots, but unfortunately the first three quarters did not shoot anything, 9 of 0!
George, on the other hand, continued to shoot with a bad hand, and had no physical fitness, just not to cause damage, forcing Harden to break through with the ball, and creating a shooting opportunity for himself! It wasn't until the third and fourth quarters that he made a three-pointer each.
George shot 5-of-17 from the field and 2-of-7 from three-point range to finish with 12 points, seven rebounds and one assist. And Leonard finally found his touch when the Clippers chased points at the end of the fourth quarter, not only by making foul free throws, but also finding the feeling of mid-range shooting, and also made two three-pointers, and hit all the next 4 shots, Leonard shot 6 of 15 and 2 of 3 three-pointers in the whole game, and got 21 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
In this game, it can be said that Harden and Wei Shao are dragging the Clippers forward, and in the case of George and Leonard's slump, Harden and Wei Shao always help the team score in their own unique way to maintain the point difference. Harden's three-pointers were impressive, with three classic step-back three-pointers, and one three-point foul! He shot 6-of-11 from the field and 3-of-6 from three-point range to finish with 24 points, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
And Wei Shao proved himself again, and he could be congratulated after he got on the court, this game not only showed his defense, but also performed very well on the offensive end, and also made a buzzer-beating three-pointer! The score was second only to Harden, shooting 10 of 16, 1 of 2 three-pointers, and got 23 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists.
As previously said, the Clippers' victory or defeat against the Nets depends on their attitude, and in the first three quarters, the offense is closed and played, and the defense is also defended with eyes, which can be seen from a very detailed place. A defensive player like Leonard, when defending against players such as Thomas and Bridges, does not directly defend alone, but also defends their side, often letting opposing players pass in one step, hitting the inside layup or assisting Claxton to complete a dunk.
It wasn't until the fourth quarter that the Clippers began to increase their defensive intensity, whether it was the interference of the bag or the pressing of the ball handler, they did a good job! With defense, there was a counterattack! The Clippers played a wave of 22-0 at the end of the fourth quarter and finally won the game 125-114!
