In the past four games, he averaged 39 points and scored 34+9+8! The most tired star in the league, the four-star team is now playing single-core

On November 17, the NBA regular season continued. In a game early this morning, the Clippers lost to the Celtics 118-121. In this game, the Green Army once established a 24-point lead, but was almost reversed by Harden. In this campaign, Jaylen Brown scored 33 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists, Pritchard scored 30 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, and White scored 22 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists. If not for all three of them, they might have been reversed in this game.

There is nothing to say about the specific process of the game. With 8 and a half minutes left in the third quarter, the Greens led by 24 points as Pritchard hit a three-pointer. After that, the game entered Harden's rhythm, with 14 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, leading the team to catch up to 5 points behind to end the third quarter. In the final quarter, when the Green Army caught Harden off the court, they re-expanded their lead to double digits. After Harden came on the court, he led the team to gradually chip away at the point difference and hit three three-pointers in the last 19 seconds, but missed the tie three-pointer. In the end, the team regretted losing.

Harden burned out in this game. He scored a total of 32 points in the second half. In the first half, Harden gave the impression that he was exhausted and could not even take a step. In the first half, he scored 1 of 7 in total. Many fans were worried at that time. After all, Harden played 41 minutes against the Mavericks in the last game and scored 41 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists. Considering that he is 36 years old, it is understandable that he lost his physical fitness in this game against the Celtics.

But Harden seemed to have found his physical fitness during the halftime break, and he played a superb performance in the second half, but his teammates were too weak. In addition to Harden, the Clippers' best performer in this game was Zubac. He scored 16 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists on 6-of-10 shooting. The efficiency alone is indeed good, but Zubac scored 0 points in the final quarter and did not give Harden enough help. Collins scored 17 points and 2 rebounds in this game. He and Harden cooperated well in the pick-and-roll. I think the Clippers should give him more tactical status to reduce Harden's burden.

Harden has been too tired recently, and Tyronn Lue is still the same. He has only one iron rule for winning: relying on a player named James. He used to be LeBron, but now he is Harden. However, Tyronn Lue was in charge again at a critical moment in this game. The team played a perfect tactic in the last attack. Although Harden did not make a shot, the tactics came out. It was Van Gundy who drew the tactical board, and Tyronn Lue looked on.

Brother Deng has been too tired recently. Not only against the Mavericks in the last game, but also against the Hawks and Suns before, he played more than 38 minutes. According to statistics, in the past 4 games, Harden averaged 39 minutes per game. .3 minutes, scoring 34 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.8 assists, with a three-point shooting percentage of 42%. It can be said that Harden has burned out. He can still perform such an outstanding performance at this age. To be honest, 99% of fans did not expect it.

But his efforts did not bring about the team's success. In the past four games, the team had 1 win and 3 losses. The one they won was only against the Mavericks, who had a worse lineup. There is no reliable helper around Harden. During the offseason, the Clippers were jokingly called by fans as a team armed to the teeth. As a result, their teeth are almost gone and their weapons are useless. The so-called powerful lineup formed by the team is simply vulnerable, just like when the Lakers formed a sunset red team.

During the offseason, the Clippers retained the three-core team of Zubac, Leonard and Harden, and also introduced the former super shooting guard Beal. The team's four-star team looks stronger than last season, and they also won the former All-Star point guard Paul and All-Star center De Luo, and the team's lineup has also been strengthened. As a result, Paul has now been abandoned and has not played in many consecutive games. It seems that he will not play in the future unless there are no suspense games.

Da Luo now has fewer and fewer opportunities to play. It can indeed bring space, but his defensive ability is too poor, which is more of a side effect for the team. In addition, Tyronn Lue also relies on Harden and Zubac to win, so Da Luo's playing time is also less. The other two core members of the team, Beal and Leonard, were injured. They were both well-known glass men in the league. When Harden chose to recruit Beal, it can only be said that he was buying out his choice. If he left the Clippers and went to a young team, perhaps the results would be better than now.

Zubac has not performed at the level of a star this season. He is now being targeted more defensively, so he has not been able to perform like a star. The current Clippers were touted as having a four-core plus top veterans at the beginning of the season, and now they have Harden as a single core. Because they are isolated and helpless, Harden is now trying his best. The team only has 4 wins and 9 losses, ranking 11th in the Western Conference. According to the current situation, it will be difficult for them to reach the play-offs. Harden also has a hard life, chasing the championship with all his strength, but always getting nothing.
