The Harden-Curry matchup is destined to be a tight battle, whether Harden is with the Rockets or the Clippers.
Just look at two of the scenes to see how intense this game is:
1. Warriors Green and Clippers Zubac competed for rebounds under the basket in a row, and finally Green was knocked to the ground. But the game was so fierce that there was no time to stop and see what was going on with Green, and the two sides played back and forth two or three times, until after the dead ball, the team doctor came on the court to check Green;
2. Clippers Plumlee saw that his rebound was snatched away by the Warrior Podemsky, and he was angry and punched Podemsky three times in a row. The first two times he slammed into his arm, but the third punch hit Podemsky in the face. This action was really vicious, knocking Podemsky to the ground and being judged by the referee as a first-degree malicious foul.
You can't imagine before the game:
In the Clippers' away game against the Warriors, in the unfavorable circumstances such as the team's boss Leonard was absent due to injury, coach Tyronn Lue was ejected in the fourth quarter, George was fouled for six more fouls, and Curry was crazy 40+, Harden turned into a lone brave and struggled for 40 minutes and 22 seconds to lead the team to a 130-125 comeback victory over the Warriors.
Among them, Harden made 7 of 12 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and 8 of 9 free throws, scoring 24 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, with a team-high plus/minus of +13, and only one turnover. In such a tight game, Harden was emotionally stable and unaffected by the on-court blows.
He played 31 minutes off the bench, shooting 8-of-13, 5-of-7 from three-point range, scoring 21 points and 2 rebounds, with a plus/minus of +9, especially hitting 4 key three-pointers in the fourth quarter, which directly set off a wave of counterattack and drowned the Warriors.
The victory was a testament to the team spirit of the Clippers, so coach Tyronn Lue is pleased and proud of his team's performance. After the game, Lu deliberately stood in the passage of the gymnasium, raised his hands to every player who walked to the locker room, and kept shouting: "You guys are so powerful!"
Yes, the Clippers' pride is not only due to the victory in the game, but also because of the team's tenacity in the face of adversity.
