Harden scored 55 points to lead the team, who pays attention to his teammates? He is old, he is declining, and Lu is quite proud.

At the end of the game, the Clippers defeated the Hornets 131-116. After winning this game, the Clippers ended their losing streak. However, the current predicament is not over yet, because the Clippers won this game because of Harden's outstanding performance. He scored 55 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal in this game. This was already an exhausting performance. However, looking at other players, there is still no stable scoring point, and the Clippers' lineup this season is also very strange.

-Especially Paul, the decline this season has been cliff-like. Fortunately, we were able to organize today and did not cause the opponent to use the transition period to score, but the offensive end was still forging. Batum's three-pointer today was indeed accurate, which is a gratifying performance. But for the entire season, his stability was not very good. In addition, Lopez has old cold legs as he ages, and there will be ups and downs on the offensive end, especially in headwind games.

Zubac's decline is still substantial. Sometimes the data looks very good, but unfortunately the ability to protect the basket at the basket has indeed declined significantly compared to last season. At one point during the game, the ball was taken away continuously and he was targeted on the defensive end, which was fatal to him.

In addition, other role players cannot maintain stable output, and it is difficult for young players to support them, so they can only rely on their core to perform.

In this case, Tyronn Lue was still very proud. He said: When I saw Harden score 26 points at the end of the first quarter, I knew that his hands were hot and he carried us forward on the offensive end. Moving the ball to the weak side, he can then expand his action and go one-on-one. In other words, the Clippers now have no tactics and can only rely on core players to play, just give the ball to Harden, and then Tyronn Lue hangs up on the bench. After all, there are no tactics on the offensive end and no system on the defensive end this season. This is why the Clippers have such a poor record.
