Coach Lu changed his skills to G6 and finally Harden. If you want to win the game in the tiebreak, you have to rely on Brother Deng to play high output.

In the first round of the playoffs, James Harden scored 30+ high scores in G1 between the Clippers and the Nuggets, but the Clippers still lost regretfully. After that, Harden's attempts gradually decreased, with only 17, 14, 11 and 9 respectively from G2 to G5.

G6, Harden finally woke up and scored 28 points in the game. Harden only participated in 25 offenses in G5, but he participated in 58 offenses in G6 to contribute 60 points (1.03 points per round of offense).

Talking about his performance, Harden said: "This is a life-and-death battle. If you win, you can continue to move forward. If you lose, you have to go home. We still have some mistakes, but I think our vitality and aggressiveness on both sides of the offense and defense are different, and this has to start with myself. I will watch the game video, constantly improve, find out where I can improve, and then put it into practice in the next game."

G6 Harden played the highest in the game for 46 minutes, and he played for 12 minutes in the last three quarters. This is Harden's third time in this series that he has played more than 40 minutes in a single game, while he has only five games in the regular season to play for more than 40 minutes.

Coach Lu had only admired Harden, saying: "I admire his performance very much. He longed to play every night, was in excellent physical condition, and was well prepared for these critical moments. I knew that in the second quarter, he could get a short break. Leonard played for him, and then I let Harden play again in the second quarter to provide offensive firepower for the team, which worked very well. He was a little tired later, and I called a few timeouts to restore him. But he was eager to play, eager to compete, and he led us to victory."

To activate Harden, Coach Lu made adjustments, he abandoned Dunn in the second half, giving Batum more playing time. Even Jokic praised Batum's value: "Batum's shooting is much better than Dunn. Batum is an excellent defensive player. He can defend the No. 1 to 5. I think with Batum, they have no loopholes in defense. They may start in the next game."

The Clippers will go to the Denver Plateau again to play away. Harden said: "Just do it. Adding outside shots can help us on the offensive end. On the defensive end, we watched the game video before the game, and in the first half we gave our opponents more than 30 points, which are all we can control. You know what I mean, right? So if we correct these issues, we have a chance to win."
