There are some stars who don't need the ball to score points. 36+5!30+8!No. 1 in the league, hand over the ball, but I didn't expect it to be easier to cut high scores.
The Los Angeles Clippers started the season with a 3-7 record (11th in the West at the time), when Harden had just joined, and the Clippers had just suffered a six-game losing streak, and fans thought Harden had ruined the Clippers' chemistry. Until Tyronn Lue adjusted the lineup, Wei Shao took the initiative to ask Ying to play the bench, Harden and Cajun led the starting lineup, and the Clippers began to counterattack. From a six-game losing streak to a nine-game winning streak, the Clippers have won back-to-back games, and they have played the best offensive and defensive strength in the league. Since then, the Clippers have steadily improved, moving from 11th in the West to third in the West, and are firmly in the top three.
The Clippers have a 24-6 record in their last 30 games, which remains one of the best in the league. During this period, the Clippers were second in the league in offensive efficiency and fourth in the league in defensive efficiency, with good offense and defense, very balanced, and no weaknesses. Now, the Clippers' starting lineup is made up of Harden as the point guard, and the bench lineup is played by Wei Shao as the ball handler. For example, the Clippers played the Hawks, Leonard scored 36 points + 5 assists + 2 rebounds + 2 steals, and Harden delivered 10 assists. The Clippers and the Cavaliers played each other, Leonard scored 30 points + 8 rebounds + 3 assists, George scored 28 points + 4 rebounds + 4 assists, Harden handed out 12 assists, and Willis handed out 7 assists.
Leonard and Paul George gave the ball to Harden and Westbrook, and the control of the Denwei duo made it easier for the Pepper duo to score points. According to statistics released by the American media, Leonard has contributed an average of 26.8 points + 5.8 rebounds + 4.2 assists + 1.6 steals per game in the last 30 games, with a shooting rate of 56%, a three-point shooting rate of 51%, and a free throw shooting rate of 90%. Leonard is now one of the Clippers' most consistent stars, his scoring ability is solid, very efficient, and Leonard is good offensively and defensively, he is a superstar in both offense and defense, and the Clippers are the most important in the playoff championship.
The Clippers reporter reported that when Harden had double-doubles in assists, the Clippers had a 16-2 record. Paul George said bluntly in an interview that now we all like to give the ball to Harden and partner with Harden to block and pick-and-roll, which is the easiest way to score, and he can make it easier for each of us to score. The Pepper combination, Zubac and Theis and others can all partner with Harden to block and dismantle. Moreover, the Clippers also have Powell, a three-point sharpshooter who has a strong ability to catch and shoot three-pointers, and Harden and Westbrook can create open three-point opportunities for shooters such as Powell.
This season, Powell is shooting 45.3 percent from three-point range (third in the league), 68.3 percent from the corner (first in the league) and 54.8 percent from three-point range in the final quarter (first in the league). Fans only remember that the Leonard + George + Harden + Westbrook quartet is very sharp, but they ignore the outstanding performances of role players such as Powell, Zubac, and Terence Mann. The Clippers shot 39.5% from three-point range (first in the league), and Leonard, Harden, George, Powell, Coffey and others all shot more than 40% from three-point range. Harden shot 42.2 percent from three-point range, a career-high high.
