Clippers news: The cause of Harden s abnormality is exposed, Zubac announces the good news, and the Warriors appearance update

The reason for Harden's disorder was exposed

Yesterday, the Clippers, who had lost three consecutive games, returned to their home court to face the Phoenix Suns. Clippers star James Harden returned from the last game due to personal reasons. I thought the Clippers would regain their dignity at home, but the result was surprising. Starting from the second half of the second quarter, the Clippers suddenly lost power and were instantly led by double digits by the Suns. In the second half, although the Clippers sounded the clarion call for counterattack and once closed the point difference to 5 points, they missed consecutive shots at the last moment. The Suns seized the opportunity. Allen scored three consecutive points and Booker scored the key 2+1. With O'Neal's three-pointer, the suspense of the game ended. In the end, the Clippers lost to the Suns 103:114, suffering a miserable four-game losing streak and falling to 13th in the Western Conference.

In this campaign, Clippers star James Harden's performance was a disaster. Although he contributed 13 assists, he only scored 13 points on 4 of 15 shots, 2 of 10 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He also made 3 turnovers. His -18 plus-minus value ranked last in the game. Judging from the game process, Harden was unable to attack and defend, and looked listless and without fighting spirit. After the game, countless voices criticizing Harden came overwhelmingly.

Today, according to Clippers team reporter Justin Russo, Harden recently suffered from the flu and became very ill. After the game yesterday, he had difficulty moving in the locker room and kept coughing. It is worth mentioning that Warriors star Stephen Curry, who also suffered from the flu, has missed three consecutive games, and Harden's spirit of coming back to help the team win or lose is really worthy of praise and respect. No matter what, I hope other Clippers players can step up and give Harden a helping hand. The 36-year-old veteran has really given his all for the team.

Zubac announces good news

Today, Clippers center Zubac updated social media, posting a photo of him and his wife Christina, announcing that the two are about to become parents. In the photo, Christina's belly has obviously swelled, and she should be close to giving birth. Kristina is a supermodel who participated in the 2014 Miss Universe Croatia beauty pageant and was named one of the 10 most beautiful Croatian women. She has the face of an angel and the figure of a devil. Christina and Zubac have been in love for many years and got married 21 years ago.

This season, Zubac played in 9 games, averaging 15.1 points, 10.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 29.6 minutes per game. Although Zubac's performance has declined compared to last season, he is still the Clippers' most trustworthy insider and the team's third leading scorer. It should be noted that there is a very interesting phenomenon in the NBA. After players give birth to children, they will receive the "Father BUFF " bonus, and their on-court performance and statistics will be significantly improved. I also hope that Zubac can continue this law and perform better on both offense and defense, so that the Clippers will have a chance to get out of the current quagmire.

Battle against the Hawks appearance update

Tomorrow at 11:30 noon, the Clippers will face the Atlanta Hawks at home. Today, the Clippers officially released the injury list and appearance status of this game, specifically: Leonard (ankle sprain) continues to be absent; Bill (hip injury) is doubtful; other players, including the sick Harden, will play. By then, facing the Hawks, who are also full of injuries and whose top star Trae Young is not playing, can the Clippers end their losing streak and bottom out? Worth the wait.
