As Harden s chances of winning the championship become increasingly slim, how should he face the road ahead?

There is no system, no core, no one can solve it hard, and there is no team culture. Either it is like the same, there is a system that suits you, if it doesn't work, you can just build a defensive system, or it is like Dongzi Zi, there is an absolute core, you know who to give the ball to at critical moments, and someone can solve it hard Or if you have your own team culture like the Heat, a group of grassroots players can still win. Your team is now a team with three nothings. The ball is passed around and you have to rely on role players to stand up every game. In 15 pick-and-rolls, only the inside poses a threat.

Let’s discuss rationally how much fuel Harden still has? After today's game, it is obvious that Harden's physical strength has become a big problem. In the second half, he bent down to rest every time after halftime. And the offense is locked up by Dillon. I wonder if the current offensive firepower is half of its peak? When defending Booker, he was passed as soon as he burst out. Was he unable to guard him or did he not want to guard him?

The Clippers' tactics are too simple. Every time Dunn or Beal leads the half, Zubac goes to the line to screen and catch the ball, passes the ball to Harden, then switches defenses and looks for mismatches. I can memorize this tactic, but other team coaches can't understand it? In 6 years, I still haven't developed an offensive system. The tactics also rely on the little bit of capital gained from the Cavaliers. Van Gundy is also very clever in his defensive system, with Zubac sitting in a trap and Harden being slow.

This season Harden does not defend the weak side like last season. Instead, he leads the defense and is passed by in one step. Others cover each other's defense. The opponent's open three positions are lower than the training intensity. Last season's starter was +Jones Jr.'s two ghosts shooting the goal. The ball carrier was under great pressure. Harden could rely on judgment to defend and intercept the opponent's pass. Looking at this season again, although Bill's defense will not be beaten by one step, there is no sense of pressure at all. Jones Jr.'s ability to squeeze into screens has declined, or his attitude is not positive.

Then guard against the weak side. Even if it can be intercepted, it cannot be pushed back to counterattack because it is too far back. Right now it seems like there's air leaking everywhere. If you want to focus on the present, Dunn must start instead of Bill, Harden, Jones Jr., Kawhi Kawhi, Collins, Zubac as substitute, Bill, Dunn, Christie, Batum, Da Luo (your Hauser). At the same time, it must be ensured that at least one person from Harden and Kawhi is present in the transition period. If you want to go further, start with Harden, Beal, Kawhi, Collins, and Zubac.

Don’t focus on defense, develop the ultimate offense, substitute, Bogdan, Dunn, Jones Jr., Batum, your Hauser. Abandoning Daluo as a backup secret weapon, Daluo's pace in regular time will only drag down the team, and the points scored are not as many as the points given away. The rebounding side can't provide any help, so it's better to let your Hauser go up to defend against counterattacks. Finally, Bass is dismissed from get out of class, or another offensive coach is hired, and Bass can be used as a mascot.

You never know what the bass is going to do, and every player is not used to it. It's okay if Collins doesn't start. His playing time has been inconsistent and he has no tactical status. On the offensive end of the court, it basically depends on the mood of his teammates. Bill finally got some touch. He scored two three-pointers with you in the second half and hasn't used them since. The most lacking player is the player who can push forward with the ball. Bill never gives a chance and keeps pushing forward with the ball and making breakthroughs. Then it was shorted.

Harden takes a minute off in the third quarter and plays the entire fourth quarter? What kind of tactic is this? It must be getting more and more difficult for him as he fights it. The defense given to him is more physical confrontation, more help defense, delays and double-teaming, and then let Harden play like this? Except for a strong three-pointer, no one else had any chance. In the fourth quarter, this wave of players was full, and no one was replaced. If they found it useful, they kept using it. If they found it not useful, they kept using it.

But every time the score is caught up, the Suns respond with three-pointers, and the Clippers can always deduct one or two three-pointers. It's hard to score 103 points in a game. It's so hard for a team like the Suns to score. Basketball, three-pointers, and defense are all not as good as the Suns. In the last few minutes, did you remember to let Zubac post up to attract firepower?

The Clippers obviously lacked ball-handling points, but Bill refused to let him go. He kept letting Harden compete with other young people, and then the defensive end exposed him and consumed him on both offense and defense. All fools know what's going on. Bass is really slow to respond. It would be tight for a while, then relaxed again, and then various low-level mistakes would be made. The inherent routines from last year are no longer used. How to pick and roll, how to defend, I have forgotten everything.
