George s 1-for-9 rip-off Harden! The Clippers lost 9 of 10 games and leaked everywhere, and they still need a blood transfusion for the league s No. 1 Thunder.

George exchanged 1 for 9 and pitted Harden hard! After losing to the Magic, the Clippers, which has lost nine of the past 10 games and is almost sinking, still needs a blood transfusion for the defending champion Thunder, which has won 15 games in 16 games since the beginning of the season.

The Clippers lost 9 of 10 games

In the previous game, the referee missed Harden's 3-pointer and was blocked, causing the Clippers to regretfully lose to the 76ers. After suffering a 2-game losing streak, the precarious Clippers faced off against the Magic again. In the competition, the latter has been gaining momentum recently. After Banqueiro was injured, it accelerated the integration of new aid Bane. As you can imagine, the point difference was opened to more than 20 points early. In the end, the Magic 129-101 basically clocked in three quarters and gave the Clippers a 3-game losing streak.

Counting the previous 6 consecutive losses, the Clippers only had a poor record of 1 win and 9 losses in the past 10 games. During this period, Harden only relied on Harden to score 41+14+11 in 51 minutes of double overtime to defeat the Mavericks, and lost all other games.

While Harden continues to be alone, what makes Harden even more desperate is that the Clippers, which has lost 9 out of 10 games, has to transfuse blood for the Thunder, which has won 15 out of 16 games at the beginning of the season, because of George's 1-for-9 trade.

Harden burned out again

Harden played 30 minutes, making 8 of 16 shots, 5 of 11 three-pointers, and once again scored 31 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists, and 2 steals.

With this performance, Harden has delivered at least 28 points in 4 consecutive games, becoming the sixth player in NBA history to accomplish this feat after the age of 36. The previous 5 players were Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Curry, James, Jordan and Karl Malone.

This game is also the 4th consecutive game for Harden, who is 36 years and 87 days old, to score at least 25+5+5, becoming the oldest guard in NBA history to deliver this performance.

Unfortunately, Harden does not have any helpers around him. Kawhi Kawhi has missed his ninth consecutive game due to injury. According to Clippers reporter Law Murray, Kawhi has not yet participated in confrontation training, and there is still no clear timetable for his return.

New aid Beal, who is regarded as an upgraded version of Powell, has been reimbursed for the season due to injury. In contrast, Powell, who was sent away by the Clippers, has averaged 25.4 points per game since the beginning of the season, and his three-point shooting percentage of 50/47/93% is a career high.

In addition, Paul and Bogdan, who the Clippers hope to share the pressure on Harden, performed equally poorly. Paul played 23 minutes and only scored 4 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists on 2-of-6 shooting. He also made 4 turnovers. Bogdan made only 2-of-9 shots, completely unable to share Harden's burden.

The only good news in this game is that even though Harden scored 31+5+8 in three quarters, it was still difficult to prevent the Clippers from collapsing early, and Harden finally played only 30 minutes and was forced to take a rest. Since the beginning of the season, Harden has averaged 36.2 minutes per game, sixth in the league, and is the only veteran over 30 years old in the first 6 games.

The ship's reporters are desperate.

Faced with Harden's burnout and isolation, and the Clippers' current situation of losing 9 out of 10 games and leaking water everywhere, many Clippers reporters also feel desperate.

One of the team reporters, Joey Linn, said frankly: "At present, no one except Harden has stepped up on the offensive end of the Clippers. The team scored 49 points in the half with 24 points. Whenever Harden comes off the court, the offense comes to a standstill."

TA reporter Law Murray complained about Tyronn Lue's operation of putting Paul and Harden on the court at the same time: "It's really hard to describe Harden and Paul on the court at the same time..."

After the game lost suspense, Tomer Azarly posted: "Being behind by 26 points early in the fourth quarter, this game is really ugly."

Tomer then became desperate. Azarly continued to post: "Obviously the injuries have affected the Clippers, as well as the sluggish new signings, but at this point, when they show their true colors time and time again, I think that's it for them."

They also need a blood transfusion for the Thunder

What makes the Clippers and Harden even more desperate is that in the process of 9-for-1 George in the summer of 2019, the Clippers not only gave away Alexander's 22-year unprotected first-round pick and selected Jaylen Williams, but also the Clippers' 26-year unprotected first-round pick.

This means that if the Clippers cannot reverse the situation in the future, they cannot follow the Celtics, Pacers, 76ers and other teams in adopting the "transition year" method of resting veterans and betting on high-ranking young people to prepare for next season.

Even if the current situation is extremely bad, the Clippers can only let the 36-year-old Harden continue to grit his teeth, otherwise it will be a blood transfusion for the Thunder. The Thunder has 15 wins in 16 games since the beginning of the season, ranking first in the league, and is very likely to get another lottery pick from the Clippers at the end of the season.
