It's also a good thing that Leonard of the Clippers might be on the bench, you say? No, Harden is waving his arms on the court, like the land is divided into fields, and if Leonard returns, won't Harden's ball possession be slimmed?
Let's start from the beginning. Now, the heat wave of the NBA playoffs is hitting the shore, and every team is giving it their all in this storm. The Clippers are no exception, and they are desperately trying to stay ahead of them in the upcoming games. But it's easier said than done! Their ace Leonard has been injured because of an inflammation in his right knee, and his playing is doubtful, which is simply adding to the blockage for the Clippers.
However, let's think about it from another angle, Leonard's absence is not necessarily all bad. For example, Harden is now the new core of the team, with more balls and a natural feel. If Leonard comes back and two bigwigs grab a basketball, this scene feels big when you think about it. As the saying goes, one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, unless one male and one female. But on the basketball court, how can there be so much attention?
Besides, although Leonard is good, after all, he has missed nine games, and it will take time for his form and rhythm to get back. Head coach Tyronn Lue also looked sad, and he revealed in the interview that Leonard did return to the training ground, but only lightly participated, and did not dare to try physical confrontation or anything. In this case, if it is hard, will it not be self-defeating?
Tomorrow's G2 game is definitely a tough one for the Clippers. They will have to face a strong Mavericks, and their big man Leonard may have to watch the game. However, you see, Harden's side is quite powerful, he scored XX points in the last game, XX assists, and XX blocks, he is simply an all-round warrior. The other players are not to be outdone, each showing their powers, especially XX and XX, their confrontation and breakthrough simply make the opponent unguardable.
Therefore, things on the basketball court can change when they are said, and they don't necessarily have to be Leonard to win. The rest of the Clippers also have hands and feet, as long as the tactics are properly arranged and the mentality is adjusted, they can hold up without superstars. After all, basketball is a five-a-side sport, not a one-man show.
And basketball commentator Yang Yi, he didn't say much about it. He was blunt on the show and said he didn't think Leonard's return was a good thing, at least at this stage. However, who can say for sure in the basketball game? In tomorrow's game, whether the Clippers can continue to lead, let's wait and see!
Isn't this dramatic?
