On April 22, Beijing time, in the first round of the NBA playoffs in the early hours of this morning, the Clippers beat the Mavericks with a score of 109-97 at home, leading 1-0 in the series, but what is even more exciting than this victory is that the Clippers' Chinese agent Barbecue Sister revealed on Weibo that the good news about the comeback of the team's core Leonard.
Since the April 1 game against the Hornets, Leonard has been sidelined due to an inflamed right knee. According to previous Shams reports, Xiaoka received injections to relieve knee inflammation. So during this period of recuperation, fans are looking forward to the superstar's return sooner rather than later, after all, their first-round opponents are a strong Eastern European pair. However, in the G1 game, Xiaoka was unsurprisingly absent.
According to the Chinese agent, the barbecue sister, Leonard is currently under daily observation, and the inflammation of his knee has been effectively relieved after receiving injection treatment. Although the recovery was a little slower than expected, Xiaoka's knee is no longer swollen and is gradually recovering. The roast lady said they expect Leonard to make a comeback around G3.
This news is undoubtedly a big positive for the Clippers. Leonard's return will greatly enhance the team's combat effectiveness and provide a strong guarantee for the team to go further in the playoffs. As for the fans, they are also more looking forward to seeing the big three in the game.
At the same time, Harden also showed a strong statement in his post-game interview. He said that while he has achieved great things in his career, he still needs to prove something on a stage like the playoffs. Harden emphasized that not only can he play a great scoring performance, but he will also be able to create better shooting opportunities for his teammates and make the team's offense more fluid. In Leonard's absence, Harden took on more of the offensive responsibilities and made the most of the opportunity to show what he can do.
Harden's words not only showed his confidence and determination, but also showed fans his desire to win and his contribution to the team. With two superstars, Harden and the upcoming comeback of Leonard, the future of the Clippers is undoubtedly full of possibilities.
Last night's victory by the Clippers not only gave the team a good start, but also brought good news about Leonard's imminent return. And Harden's strong statement also gave people a glimpse of his desire to win and his contribution to the team. I believe that in the near future, the Clippers will be able to go far in the playoffs, what do you think?
