At the beginning of the game, the Clippers gave us a big surprise, but in the absence of the core star Leonard, the home team won the Mavericks, the hot start of the season, can you believe it? This is not only a victory, this is simply a declaration: guys, we Clippers, are going to win the championship!
Let's talk about this game first, Harden is really a god, 28 points are as elegant as the wind, assists, steals and blocks are all sorts, just like a hot pot on the market, you can come with a little bit of anything. You see his passing, it's an art, delivering the ball to his teammates again and again, like an old driver firmly controlling the steering wheel. And George, buddy is not ambiguous, 22 points are in the bag as shown in the picture, he is like a top student in the class in this game, obscure but with stable results. As for Zubac, 20 points and 15 rebounds, this statistic is heartwarming to watch, and his sweep under the basket is like a fighter sweeping the enemy.
Then, Leonard's news came like a fresh breeze. He has just returned from injury and has already started training, and looking at his strength on the training ground, he is even more jumping than a white rabbit. Coach Tyronn Lue said that he still needs to see how he is doing, after all, who can say for sure? But we all know that Leonard is back, and this is a big deal! As soon as he comes back, the Clippers will be a lot stronger on both ends of the floor. Think about it, a healthy Leonard plus Harden and George, who are now in hot form, are simply the NBA's version of the "Iron Triangle".
What about the Mavericks on the opposite side, although there were the explosives bags of Doncic and Irving, they were obviously suppressed by the Clippers' defense in this game. Doncic is limited to death, and Irving is also difficult to show. That's the Clippers' tactic – teamwork. Everybody can step up, everybody can contribute to the victory.
Do you think the Clippers can win a championship? I think it's okay! It's not just because of how good they are at the moment, but because of the atmosphere, the team spirit. You see the hugs they hug each other when they win, that feeling, that's the real team. This kind of team, no one is afraid!
And, don't forget, this may be Harden's last chance to win the championship, which is also very important to him. After all, who wouldn't want to get a ring before retiring? Judging by Harden's performance in this game, he really wants this championship.
So, let me tell you, the Clippers are really fierce this wave. From the first game of the playoffs, you can see that they are really here this time, not just to win the game, they are here for the final glory. Let's continue to see how far this Clippers can go, and see what amazing performance this temporarily forgotten Leonard can bring on the playoff stage! All of this is worth waiting for.
