Wei Shao spoke out, and the Clippers got rid of the disease! Xiaoka refuses to bully the soft and is afraid of the hard Harden talks about Morey's resolute attitude

Affected by a variety of factors such as injuries, personnel status and lineup deployment, the Clippers with the Big 4 showed a polarized record performance before and after the All-Star, and the team once fell out of the top four in the West after 2 consecutive defeats, until the last Pelicans lost the Clippers to return to the fourth place in the West, but it was only 0.5 wins ahead of the Pelicans behind them, and if they want to maintain the home court advantage in the playoffs, the Clippers need to adjust their state as soon as possible in the remaining games to win more victories.

After losing to the Pacers in the last game, the fully healthy Clippers welcomed Harden's old club, the 76ers.

The Clippers started the game with a slump of the last quarter against the Pacers, scoring just 18 points in a single quarter and trailing by as many as 12 points at the end of the first quarter.

Fortunately, the Clippers' state gradually warmed up, and the small card completed self-redemption in the last quarter, shooting 3 of 15 in the first three quarters, and 4 shots in the last quarter, scoring 10 points, including 2+1 at two key moments, leading the Clippers to defeat the 76ers by 1 point.

At the decisive moment, Xiaoka almost dominated both offensive and defensive ends, not only playing 2+1 in a row on the offensive end, but also blocking Oubre's stunner one-on-one on the defensive end.

Then, after jumping the ball, he chased down Oubre's stunnible layup, completely killing the suspense of the game.

It was with the performance of the decisive moment of the small card that the Clippers finally broke the law of "bullying the soft and fearing the hard" in the past nearly a month.

This game is the first time the Clippers have beaten a team with a win percentage of 5 percent or more since beating the Timberwolves on March 4.

As Skip commented after the game: "The small card that recovered in the final quarter saved the Clippers from losing to the 76ers who were missing Embiid." ”

With this victory, the Clippers have won 45 games this season, surpassing last season (44 wins).

Willis' comeback and post-game voice after the last game were undoubtedly key to the Clippers' turnaround, bringing energy, passion and cohesion back to the Clippers.

After losing to the Pacers in the opening game of his comeback, Wei Shao said publicly: "When we lose, I will block bullets for everyone on the team, and I will take all the pressure because I don't care, but I know that these bad public opinions are a big blow to my teammates." ”

In addition, Wei Shao rallied the entire Clippers team by shouting publicly.

Wei Shao said: "You should never blame others, don't blame. I think everybody has to look at themselves and figure out how we can help our team better. ”

At the same time, Wei Shao once again reiterated that winning is the only goal of the game, and he doesn't care about sacrifice for the championship.

Considering Westbrook's reputation in the league, as well as his good personal relationships with George, Harden, and Jr., plus his willingness to cede the starting spot after the Harden trade.

Wei Shao is undoubtedly the glue and spiritual leader between the Clippers' Big 4, and it is his comeback and this voice that have turned the Clippers, which once fell into internal friction and downward momentum, around.

Compared to the other three giants, beating the 76ers on the road obviously has a different meaning for Harden, because the 76ers are his former club, and the two sides did not have a good time parting.

When asked by reporters after the game whether he would reconcile with Morey in the future, Harden had a clear attitude and rarely interrupted the question, directly saying 3 "NOs" bigger.

When asked whether to contact Embiid after the trade, Harden also responded decisively: "NO".

And in response to the boos from the fans, Harden said: "I expected it, but I don't know why they booed me. ”

It is worth noting that before returning to the players' tunnel after the game, Harden also stopped to sign for the fans holding the 76ers' No. 1 jersey.

After the game, Harden posted on social media: "I'm not a ball bully, I like to watch my brothers play. ”

Harden finished with 16 points, 5 rebounds, 14 assists, 2 steals and 1 steal on 6-of-15 shooting.
