The Clippers were chased by the Mavericks for two games in a row with a 1-0 lead, and are currently 1-2 behind, attracting a lot of criticism from fans. Former NBA player Frye said: "The Mavericks and Clippers will fight seven games, and as the series progresses, Leonard will get better and better. Green Army legend Pierce believes that the winner of this series will make it to the Western Conference finals.

In the series G1, the Clippers scored 109 points, shooting 46% from the field, 50% from three-point range, and 12 turnovers. The G2 Clippers scored 93 points while shooting 36.8% from the field, 26.7% from three-point range, and eight turnovers. The G3 Clippers scored 90 points while shooting 45.7 percent from the field, 34.5 percent from three-point range, and committing 19 turnovers.

From these data, it can be seen that the G2 Clippers are too iron, and the G3 is too many mistakes. Leonard returned to play 2 games, with G2 taking 17 shots and G3 only 7 shots. In these two games, he played an average of 30 minutes per game, scoring 12 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 2 turnovers, shooting 45.8% from the field, 0-of-5 from three-point range, and 2-of-3 from the free-throw line.

Leonard played only 2 playoff games and 1 regular season game in the whole of April due to inflammation in his right knee. The Clippers and the Mavericks have a fierce confrontation, and Xiaoka still needs time to get used to. Next, George, who played an average of 35 minutes per game in the playoffs, scored 17 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.7 turnovers, and shot 40%, 30.4% and 100% from three.

George averaged 22.6 points per game in the regular season, shooting 47.1% from the field and 41.3% from three-point range, and both declined significantly in the playoffs. Washington on the outside, and Gaford on the inside, caused a lot of trouble for George. Now George is facing the issue of a contract extension, and it has not been negotiated yet! If the Clippers are out in the first round, will they renew George's contract?

Let's take a look at Wei Shao, who played an average of 22 minutes per game in the playoffs, only scored 7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals, 1 block and 2.3 turnovers, and shot 29.2%, 27.3% and 66.7% from three. Wei Shao does work hard defensively, but his shortcomings on the offensive end are infinitely magnified. Especially G3, which has been shorted by the Lone Ranger many times, just can't throw it!

Finally, let's take a look at Harden, who is the most tired of the Big Four. Harden averaged 41.7 minutes per game in the playoffs, scoring 23.7 points (a team-high for the Clippers), 3.3 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 1.3 blocks and 2.3 turnovers while shooting 47.7%, 44.8% and 88.9% from three. Points, blocks and three-point shooting percentages per game are all higher than in the regular season.

Harden averaged the second-highest playoff career minutes per game, behind only his 43.9 minutes per game in 2013-14. In 10 years, Harden has gone from a 25-year-old guy to a 35-year-old veteran, and 41.7 minutes is really too much for him. In the past, everyone said that Harden pulled his hip in the playoffs, but this year he is the best performance of the Clippers!

Zubac averaged 17.3 points and 11.7 rebounds per game in the series, up from 11.7 points and 9.2 rebounds in the regular season. That's what he can do, and it's hard to ask Zubac for anything higher. The next G4 is still the home of the Mavericks, and for the Clippers to win, the Big Four must have three outbursts. Final question: Do you think the Clippers can win G4?
