The Clippers did not start the season smoothly, at present they have played five games at the beginning of the season, only achieved a record of 1 win and 4 losses, they only lost 2 points against the Warriors, lost 6 points against the Grizzlies, and then won by 30 points over the Blazers, originally thought they should continue their competitive state, but did not expect that in the game against the Cavaliers and the Blazers, they practiced to eat two big scores of defeat, which is actually a big blow for them!
In their game of defeat to the Trail Blazers, the team scored only 92 points, while George alone scored 42 points, nearly half of the team's points. Shooting 15 of 24 from the game and 6 of 9 from three-point range, george has done his best to play, but he still has not been able to lead the team to victory!
So far this season, George has averaged 27.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, including 50% shooting and 38% three-point shooting, as the most targeted player in the opponent's defense, George can have such a shooting rate and offensive efficiency is already perfect! And in addition to the offensive data, he can average 3.4 steals per game, which is also very important for the team!
It can be said that for the Clippers, there is only one superstar in the team this season, which is indeed not enough, and after they lack Leonard, both the offensive end and the defensive end have been greatly affected. In addition to George this season, the best to play is Reggie Jackson and Kennard, averaging 14 points and 12.4 points per game, Reggie Jackson's shooting rate is only 31%, three-point shooting rate is only 29%, such efficiency is really difficult to help the team, Kennard shooting rate is good, but it is not a player who can have too strong independent offensive ability, and it is not much help for George!
It can be said that from any point of view, it is really difficult for George to carry the Clippers forward, at least from these five games in the season, we can see that George has tried his best, but the team is still not competitive enough. If they want to find good form and get good results, then Leonard's return is the only way to solve it!
