Dreaming of returning to the top! Harden hit 30+7+7, the Clippers beat the Suns with 27 points, the Clippers rotation is finally confirmed

On October 25th, the NBA regular season ushered in a key battle. The Clippers faced the Suns at home. In the opening game, the Clippers unexpectedly defeated the Jazz in an unexpected upset. They trailed their opponents by 37 points during the game. It was really incomprehensible. On paper, they were in the top five leagues in the league. They had a regular season master like Harden and Paul on the bench. How could the Clippers play so poorly! Everyone from Leonard to coach Tyronn Lue believes that the team needs to be more defensively aggressive, but there is a question before us: With Collins, why does Tyronn Lue still insist on playing Kawhi Kawhi at the fourth position? Reporter Torre, who previously broke the news about Kawhi's Yin-Yang contract, revealed that Tyronn Lue was also involved in the Billups case, which may explain something.

In addition, Leonard's state is also worrying. His matchup with Markkanen made him overwhelmed. He only scored 10 points and 4 rebounds in 29 minutes, and lost 25 points, the lowest score in the game. Leonard plays the third position, and his speed is the biggest test for him. The confrontation at the fourth position is too much for Leonard. What should he do? In the opening game against the Kings, the Suns fell behind by 20 points and made a tenacious comeback in the second half. Although Jaylen Green was unable to play due to a hamstring injury, and Booker did not perform well in the headwind game, the three role players of Brooks + O'Neal + Allen must not be underestimated and played very tenaciously. Back to this game, Tyronn Lue was still stuck and continued to maintain the disastrous lineup of the previous game, Harden + Bill + Jones + Leonard + Zubac.

Looking back at the game, Brooks trained Bill at the beginning, Dunn took off for a dunk, and Brooks dodged the card and hit a three-pointer! Bill scored with a throw, and after playing for almost 3 minutes, Harden finally touched the ball and made a gliding layup to complete 2+1! After that, Harden continued to hit three-pointers and made a wonderful pass to Kaka to cause a foul. The Clippers faced the remnant Suns in the starting lineup and did not gain any advantage. Instead, Allen and Brooks rained three-pointers and quickly opened up a 9-point gap. In the second half, Harden assisted Jones with a three-pointer to stop the bleeding. Harden continued to make fouls and counterattack layups for 3 points. Los Angeles and Harden continued to rain three-pointers, and the Clippers finally tied! After Paul came on the court, Collins and Dunn helped the Clippers take the lead by 1 point. In the second quarter, Kawhi fed Dunn, stole the ball, glided and dunked, and then made a three-pointer to stop the Suns.

After returning from the timeout, Paul continued to feed Kaka, who continued to train Brooks, and the Clippers gradually widened the point difference. After O'Neal and Ryan's scores stopped the Clippers, Harden committed a three-point foul, Zubac dunked, and Jones Jr. caught the ball and fired a three-pointer. The Clippers finally found their own rhythm. Harden led a lineup, and Kawhi and Paul led a lineup. In the second half, Harden took Zubac to continue military training. After O'Neal stopped the bleeding with a three-pointer, Harden continued to feed Jones. At the end of the quarter, Harden himself also started to rain three-pointers, hitting three consecutive three-pointers, reaching the pinnacle! The Clippers beat the Suns 72-56 at halftime, Harden scored 26 points alone! Back in the second half, Bill and Kawhi took the main attack. After Jones Jr. hit a fixed-point three-pointer, the Clippers were already leading by 26 points!

After taking a big lead, the Clippers played relatively easily. Jones Jr. fired from the outside, Knicks singled out Booker, and Harden used the screen to throw in while running! After that, Harden continued to commit fouls, Zubac also fed Collins for dunks, and the Clippers scored over 100 points in three quarters! At the end of the quarter, Batum and Dunn continued to blossom inside and outside, and the Clippers led the Suns by 29 points in three quarters. Naturally, the suspense was lost in the fourth quarter. In the end, the Clippers defeated the Suns 129-102 at home, ushering in their first victory of the new season.

Data, for the Suns, Booker had 18 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists, Brooks had 21 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, Allen had 12 points and 5 assists, Iguodaro had 9 points and 5 rebounds, Dunn had 6 points and 5 rebounds, and O'Neal had 11 points and 4 rebounds. The biggest shortcoming of the Suns is that Booker's ceiling is not high when he leads the team alone. Facing the Clippers' lineup, Booker had no sense of presence, but Harden and Leonard took turns playing singles. Clippers data, Harden made 8 of 11, efficiently scored 30 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and 5 of 6 three-pointers; Zubac had 8 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, Dunn had 14 points and 3 steals, Leonard had 27 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Jones had 17 points and 4 rebounds, Collins had 10 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals, Paul had 0 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists and 3 steals.

Through this game, we can see some clues: Harden and Paul must be used in staggered ways, which is a major premise; on the other hand, Harden is good at improving the attributes of role players. The attack wave that really establishes the Clippers' victory is when Harden leads Jones, Collins, and Dunn to widen the point difference. Harden's own triple threat is too great. The presence of Paul and Leonard ensures that Paul has a stable ending point next to him in the transition period, and the efficiency is also good. It is foreseeable that in the future, Harden will lead one lineup and Capolo will lead another lineup, which will become the norm. Now the Clippers have only one last worry left. When can Bill get back to rhythm? His presence is too low!
