Miller did his best
After chatting about the game process, let's talk about the players' play, this game Hornets Miller played well, facing his template George, he also played his own style, 8 of 19 shots, 5 of 13 three-pointers got 22 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block, Miller has a good star temperament, he is now 2.06 meters can play three positions, if the Hornets give him the opportunity to develop into a ball-handling forward in the future, then Miller's ceiling will be higher.
Miller is averaging 17 points per game so far this season, and when everyone is talking about Wembans and Chet, they all ignore this list, in fact, Miller's talent is also very good, but it is overlooked in a small ball market like the Hornets, his ceiling looks better than the three-ball, and he is more suitable as the cornerstone of the team. Bridges had 33 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists on 11-of-20 shooting from the field, and he is likely to get a long-term contract in the offseason.
Gwee got 18 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists on 8-of-10 shooting, as far as the current situation is concerned, the Hornets do not plan to keep Gwee and Curry Jr. for a long time, they are both bench rotations, and it is estimated that they will be thrown off in the offseason, Micic proved himself after joining the Hornets, and he got 10 points, 5 rebounds and 13 assists on 3-of-11 shooting in this game, his ability to handle the ball is very good, and this old rookie is still very good.
Wei Shao is activated, and Harden unlocks the correct way to use it
The Clippers side of Leonard's performance in this game was not particularly good, 9 of 18 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers got 22 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, George was in good shape, 14 of 21 shots, 8 of 12 three-pointers got 40 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists, George's contract renewal is still not negotiated, and now the American media have begun to analyze George's next home, the 76ers, Lakers and Thunder are likely to get George's team.
In this game, Harden got 6 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists on 1 of 3 shots, seeing Harden's data, some fans may have complained about Harden, in fact, Harden played very well in this game, the reason why he shot less was because Zubac got enough opportunities, Zubac got 24 points, 12 rebounds and 1 assist on 7 of 8 shots under his feeding, Tyronn Lue finally understood how to use Harden well in the near future.
Harden's explosiveness is not good, he can't complete efficient singles, and can only rely on blocking to launch an offense, and Tyronn Lue has been led by the nose by the opponent before, often letting Zubac be the bench, but Harden can't play a role, this game he let Zubac and Harden partner on the court most of the time, and both played very well. Wei Shao also got more playing time in this game, and it seems that he was unblocked from injury management, scoring 11 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists on 4-of-6 shooting in the game, with a plus/minus of +9, which is very good.
