In an NBA playoff game that ended today, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Mavericks 116-111, the process of ups and downs, the Clippers opened the gap early in the first quarter, and led by 31 points at most in the second quarter, and then the Mavericks began to fight back, the Clippers lost power in the third quarter, the Mavericks continued to narrow the difference, and the Clippers were overtaken in the final quarter, but fortunately, Harden broke out and led the team to win. In terms of statistics, Harden scored 33 points, 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, George 33 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and 4 turnovers, Zubac 13 points and 4 rebounds, Mann 11 points and 3 rebounds, Powell 11 points, Westbrook 5 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals, and Plumlee 6 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

After this battle, the two sides fought a 2-2 draw, which is the most intense group in the first round of the Western playoffs this year, the other three groups are one-sided situations, why did the Clippers lose G2 and G3, related to Leonard's forced comeback, the small card was absent from the regular season for too long, resulting in the playoffs not being able to find the state at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and also destroyed the chemistry of the Clippers, if it is a healthy Leonard, I believe that the strength of the Clippers must be much stronger than the Mavericks, but the problem is that the small card is injured and cannot play a strong body, so the G4 Clippers simply made a ruthless turn to rest the small card again, and the Clippers found the rhythm of G1 again, and the Mavericks were stunned in the first quarter, so the problem of the G5 Clippers has also arisen, whether to let Leonard play.

Frankly speaking, Leonard should play, because he needs to get back to form sooner or later, the important thing is that the Clippers can't do without Leonard if they want to win the championship, in fact, Tyronn Lue can consider letting the small card play as a substitute and appear for 10 minutes to find a feeling, the Mavericks' strength is actually limited, completely driven by the dual core, and the scoring ability of others is not strong, Irving's personal ability is undoubted, today's various fairy balls have shocked the Clippers into a cold sweat many times, no Irving broke out in the second quarter to score 16 points, and the Mavericks could not narrow the gap in the second half, as for Doncic, who seems to have luxurious data, in fact, he always likes to complain to the referee, and then ask for free throws, this style of play is not good-looking。 In addition, the referee's whistle in this game was obviously biased in favor of the Mavericks, like George had an offensive foul in the third quarter.

Looking at the whole court, the biggest contributor to the Clippers' win is undoubtedly Harden, the beard in the first quarter is mainly passing, and the offensive end is not powerful, in the second quarter, Harden broke out in a single quarter and scored 13 points, hit three points in a row, shot in the retreat, and hit Doncic three points again, during this time Irving (16 points in a single quarter) is also constantly scoring, and Harden is racing against him, Tyronn Lue is very smart in the third quarter, and Harden rested for more than four minutes in the second half, in order to let the beard save physical strength so that he can stand up and take over the game in the last quarter, sure enough, Harden scored 15 points in the last quarter, and every shot is a throw, without Harden the Clippers will definitely be reversed。 According to statistics after the game, Harden has averaged 26 points, 4 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1.3 blocks per game so far in this series.

Every game, Harden is the best player played by the Clippers, obviously he wanted to hug his thighs, but he became a thigh, and there is a milestone that has to be mentioned, Harden's playoff career assists came to 1041, surpassing Kobe Bryant and rising to the 11th place in NBA history。 Of course, in addition to Harden, George is also an important contributor to the win, he scored 16 points in the first quarter, becoming the key to the Clippers to open up the difference, the only thing to complain about in this game may be Wei Shao, playing a little up.

In an interview after the game, Harden said of the four stars scoring in a row at key moments: "It's like a show, all of them are elite-level, highly skilled players. Subsequently, when talking about his play, Harden said: "I'm lucky to be able to change my form and become an assister and a scorer, I've always done that in my career, and my mentality when I joined the Clippers was to win at all costs," which is easy to understand, Harden is eager to win, eager to win the championship, so the series has been very hard, Harden knows very well in his heart, Leonard either can't play or is in bad shape, so he has to stand up.

Next is the point, when talking about the battle of G5 Tianwang Mountain, Harden replied: "We are very aware of the offensive strength of the opponent, we were blown up in the third quarter, we can't make the same mistake again, we have to stay focused, today is a back-to-back battle, we can't go back to home with 1-3, G5 will be an important game, we have to watch the video to prepare for G5, we will be fine." ”

It can be seen that Harden is not satisfied with the performance of the Clippers in this game, especially pointing out that the third quarter was blown up by the Mavericks, and at the same time, Harden also understands the importance of G5, the Clippers must win, and Harden is reminding his teammates that he can't make any more mistakes in the future. Finally, Harden also talked about Leonard, saying: "We need him (Leonard), he's one of the best players in the world, but obviously he needs to adjust a certain amount and he'll find his rhythm and when our best players come back and we'll keep playing." As mentioned earlier, the Clippers are now a little entangled, whether G5 should let Leonard play, I am afraid that the small card will come back or be out of shape, which will affect the rhythm of the Clippers and lead to another loss.
