Harden burned out with 19 seconds and 9 minutes! He blasted Brown 37+8. He couldn’t bear the incompetence of his teammates. It’s time to reuse Kobe.

On November 17, the NBA regular season continued. Today, the Green Army faced the challenge of the Clippers at home. Before this game, the Clippers relied on Harden to score 40+ triple-doubles to end their 6-game losing streak. In this game, they faced the remnant Green Army. They also wanted to continue winning in a row, but although the Green Army was a remnant team, they never thought of failing. They also played very tough in this game. Next, let's talk about the game process first, and then talk about the performance of the players.

Game review:

At the beginning of the first quarter, White hit a jumper to help the Green Army take the lead. Dunn responded with two free throws. After that, Keta and Pritchard scored successively to help the Green Army establish a 9-0 climax. Taking the lead, Harden responded by scoring 5 points with consecutive offenses and penalties. White and Keta scored 4 points together. Relying on better offensive firepower, the Green Army once expanded the lead to 16 points. At the end of the quarter, Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller scored one after another to help the Clippers catch up to 7 points behind to end the first quarter.

In the second quarter, White hit a three-pointer to help the Greens expand their lead. Luo and Batum responded with 5 points together. White and Brown scored 5 points together to lead the Greens to an offensive climax and re-expanded the lead to more than 15 points. On the other hand, the Clippers had no improvement on the offensive end. Harden frequently hit the iron and Jones Jr. was injured. At the end of the quarter, if Collins had not scored 4 points in a row to help the team narrow the gap, they would have fallen even further behind. At the end of the half, the Clippers were 14 points behind.

Pritchard and Walsh led the team to an 8-0 surge, extending the lead to 22 points. I thought the game was about to lose suspense, but Harden finally stood up and made consecutive free throws. As a result, Pritchard and White scored one after another to extend the lead to 24 points. Since then, Harden's firepower has not diminished. He made consecutive foul shots and assisted his teammates to score frequently. After three quarters, the Clippers were only 5 points behind. Harden had 14 points and 4 assists in a single quarter.

In the decisive battle in the final quarter, the Clippers and Green Army seized the opportunity when Harden came off the court to rest. They re-expanded their lead to double digits. After Harden came on the court, he led the team to fight back and fell behind by 3 points in the last 21 seconds. However, Brown seized the opportunity to dunk and Harden hit a three-pointer.

Brown is in a slump

After talking about the game, let’s talk about the performance of the players. In this game, Brown faced the Clippers’ iron-blooded defense. He was also a little overwhelmed. He made 14 of 33 in the game, 1 of 7 three-pointers and scored 3 With 3 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block, Brown's overall performance this season is still very good. However, this game is a bit suspected of deliberately hurting Jones. To be honest, this is a bit of a loss of character. It is understandable to want to win, but winning in this way will not be respected.

In this game, White seemed to have found the level he should have last season. He scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists on 7 of 17 shots from the field and 4 of 8 three-pointers. Since being promoted to the team's second-in-command this season, White has faced greater defensive pressure, so his offensive efficiency has also declined seriously. However, the two of them were strictly guarded, which also gave Pritchard more opportunities. This white point guard, like Xiaoli, has a high golf IQ and can seize any opportunity.

In this campaign, Pritchard scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist on 10 of 16 shots. If it weren't for his poor defense, he would have won a big contract long ago. Simmons has had less and less possession of the ball recently, and he is probably in a mood to come off the bench. In this campaign, he scored 0 points and 2 assists on 3-for-3 games. For such an outstanding scorer, Mazzula just didn't give him a chance. The current situation is that the Green Army wants to send him away, but they probably can't sell him for the price they want. The Green Army this season is indeed playing very tough, but the overall talent is too limited.

Harden burned out

In this campaign, Harden made 8 of 20 shots and 4 of 9 three-pointers. He scored 34 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal. In the first half, Harden was obviously tired, and his attitude on the defensive end was... No more, unable to take a step forward, and in the end Tyronn Lue still relies on him. For Lue, he has only one winning concept, which is to rely on a player named James. In terms of his contribution to the team in this game, Deng completely defeated Brown, but his teammates were not strong enough.

Jones also retired from injury in this game, which is undoubtedly worse for the Clippers. In this campaign, Zubac scored 16 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists on 6 of 10 shots. Azu is still very good, but now he can share a role with Harden. There was some pressure, but other players simply couldn't do it. Collins' performance in this game was pretty good. He scored 17 points and 2 rebounds. In this game, he and Harden had several pick-and-roll cooperations. I think Lu can use more such tactics.

The current problem of the Clippers is that they are aging too seriously. Although Luo Luo and Batum are full of golf intelligence and experience, sometimes they are too old to take a step forward. In this case, it is better to give more young players. Opportunities, like Kobe Sanders, who had 11 points and 6 rebounds in this campaign, and Jordan Miller, who had 4 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. They have the impact and size to help the team and bring more vitality to the team. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Clippers and Celtics?
