Facing the old master with 0 of 6 three-pointers, before the game was over, Harden walked straight back to the locker room
The NBA regular season continues, and today the Clippers are at home against the 76ers, and the Clippers did not win due to the lack of major generals on the opposing side, losing 107-121 to the 76ers at home. In the final quarter, the Clippers had a crash. Today, Clippers star Harden had 12 points and 14 assists, including 0-of-6 from beyond the three-point line. Paul George had 18 points and three rebounds, Leonard had 20 points and six rebounds, while Maxey of the 76ers had 24 points and six assists and Harris had 24 points.
Today's game is a game for Harden against his old home, as we all know, Harden once played for the 76ers, but he was not happy in the 76ers, and there were also a series of conflicts with the 76ers, and the two sides were also extremely unhappy when they were separated. In this game, Harden obviously wanted to show his new face in the Clippers when facing the 76ers, but he didn't feel good on the offensive end, and the 76ers also did a very good job of his defense, and even directly blocked his three-point shooting, and today he shot 0 of 6 from outside the three-point line.
Although the 76ers are a team that lacks major generals, they are playing very tenacious, and under the leadership of Maxey, the 76ers are still stubbornly attacking the playoffs. And Maxey also wants to prove his ability in front of Harden. Before the game time was finished today, Harden left the court straight and walked back to the locker room. I didn't choose to greet and hug my old teammates from before. And after the game, Harden also refused to be interviewed by the media, and it is obvious that he is not satisfied with his performance, especially in the face of his old master, he may have more mixed feelings.
For Clippers fans, they also have concerns about the Clippers' playoff journey, and that is the instability of Harden and Paul George. Of the Clippers' Big Three, Leonard is the most consistent. And Harden is often inconsistent in the playoffs. So when it comes to the playoffs, it's a big test of Leonard's ability. In general, Paul George and Harden's style of play is still more inclined to the outside, and both of them are very affected by the opponent's defense when shooting from the outside. So that's where there are some inconsistent shots.
And when Leonard plays in the playoffs, he prefers to shoot some mid-range, and his style of play is more confrontational, so when it comes to the playoffs, the Clippers may rely more on Leonard. Of course, this is also a big test of whether Leonard can stay healthy in the playoffs, after all, he is a player with glass attributes. Fortunately, Wei Shao is about to recover, and Wei Shao's comeback will provide a new possibility for the Clippers, that is, when Harden and George are not in shape, Wei Shao may become that X-factor. Including the playoff performance of Willis is also very important, and his impact is something that Paul George and Harden do not have.
