In the long history of the NBA, there have always been players who are underestimated by people. Even if they retire on the spot without playing, their achievements in the past are enough to leave a significant mark in the annals of NBA history! This season, the league's landscape has undergone a drastic change, with the once pillars of the league gradually growing old and losing control over the game! The current league is now ruled by players at the peak of their careers such as Jokic, Alexander, Doncic, Antetokounmpo, and Tatum, while young talents like Wembanyama, Banchero, Edwards, Cunningham, Morant, etc., are already eager to seize the baton! Among them, there is one player who, for his ultimate dream, continues to make significant changes at the age of 36. He is the absolute core of the Clippers - Harden! This season, Harden has led this team of ordinary Clippers to the top six in the West, which is an incredible feat! At the age of 36, Harden has changed his previous attitude towards the game, and this season he has invested more energy into defense than ever before in his career! This is also the main reason why the Clippers can achieve a record of 21 wins and 17 losses this season. By setting an example, he spares no effort to participate in defense whenever he is on the court! As a result of Harden's approach, the team has won more games, but his personal offensive statistics and efficiency have declined. Due to the extra physical exertion on defense,…

The Los Angeles Clippers are aiming for a top-six playoff spot in the Western Conference this season. Currently, the Thunder, Rockets, and Grizzlies hold the top three positions, while the battle for fourth, fifth, and sixth spots is particularly fierce. Leonard's return aims to bring the Clippers to the top four alongside Harden. Although Leonard has played several games since his return, he has yet to find his offensive rhythm, though his defense remains solid; he is still under time restrictions. The Clippers' trio exploded with a combined 77 points, 33 rebounds, and 13 assists, leading to a big win. Harden scored 26 points, 5 rebounds, 11 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block on 9-of-17 shooting. Zubac, the Clippers' center, went 10-of-13, scoring 21 points, 20 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 blocks, dominating the Heat's interior. Zubac's pick-and-roll with Harden repeatedly broke through the Heat's defense, which struggled to contain the trio's offensive coordination. According to NBA data experts, Zubac's performance of 20 points, 20 rebounds, and 2 blocks with zero fouls and over 60% shooting rate matches that of Spurs superstar Duncan (the last player to achieve such stats in the NBA). This season, Zubac averages 15.1 points, 12.7 rebounds (third in the league), 2.5 assists, and 1.3 blocks, with a 62% shooting rate (fifth in the league). His scoring, rebounding, assists, and blocks have all reached career highs, earning him the nickname "Cake King" among fans. With Harden's assists, Zubac has become the Clippers' most important pillar in the paint. Harden averages 21.5 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists,…

In a game filled with drama and surprises, the Clippers overwhelmed the Heat with an 11-point advantage. Behind this victory lies three incredible highlights that sparked intense discussions among fans. During the match, the Clippers' two giants, Harden and Powell, delivered a performance that was nothing short of tumultuous. In the first half, both players were in a slump, seemingly trapped in an endless quagmire, with no progress on the offensive end, causing fans to anxiously await a change. However, in the second half, the winds of fortune shifted dramatically. Harden, like a beast awakened, scored 21 points, while Powell was not far behind, contributing 22 points. This powerful outburst naturally led to speculation: could it be that when Xiaoka was on the court previously, he had indeed affected their performance to some extent? Now, in the fierce competition in the West, the Clippers urgently need Xiaoka to return as soon as possible to help the team smoothly navigate through the "buffer period" of lineup adjustments and stabilize their position to challenge for higher rankings. Surprisingly, the healthy Mann did not receive even a minute of playing time in this game, which is quite unusual. In stark contrast, Bamba, who had been benched for three consecutive games, was given 8 minutes of playing time in this match. Bamba seized the opportunity, shooting 2 for 3, efficiently scoring 5 points and grabbing 7 rebounds, demonstrating a competitive state and contribution on the court. For Coach Lu, how to reasonably control Bamba's playing time and maximize his advantages has become a key…

On January 15th, Beijing time, three pieces of news about the Los Angeles Clippers have emerged, and fans who care about the Clippers should not miss them. Leonard's Restriction Lifting Soon Yesterday, the Clippers faced the Miami Heat at home. It is unknown whether it was due to the impact of the Los Angeles mountain fires, but the entire Clippers team did not enter the game in the first half and quickly fell behind by double digits. Fortunately, after a halftime break, the Clippers woke up from their dreamlike state, launching a super attack wave of 36:20 in the third quarter, directly reversing the momentum of the game. They ultimately defeated the Heat 109:98, ending their two-game losing streak. In this game, Clippers star Kawhi Leonard performed poorly, playing only 20 minutes, shooting 3 out of 9 for a total of 6 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 steals, without receiving a single minute of playing time in the entire fourth quarter. As a result, many fans are concerned about when Leonard will regain his form and when his playing time restrictions will be lifted. Today, according to Clippers beat reporter Law Murray, both the coaching staff and Leonard himself have no objections to the current game plan. They agree that Leonard's playing time cannot be blindly increased and needs to be adjusted through more games. At the same time, Law Murray stated that Leonard's physical condition and competitive state are continuously improving. Following this trend, he could lift his playing time restrictions as early as February. A healthy…

The Clippers have recently confirmed that there will be no changes to their schedule for next week's games, which will proceed as originally planned. They will face the Heat and the Nets without any delays. To be honest, postponing games isn't necessarily a good thing, especially when it happens frequently. The most troublesome aspect is arranging makeup games, which can be quite a headache. Not to mention if back-to-back games are scheduled, how can the players maintain their stamina? It's like treating them as machines, and the matches seem to be turning into an endless cycle. Moving on to the Warriors, there's some news to share as well. Coach Kerr has finally provided an injury update, with the most concerning being the return of Payton II. Payton II is likely to make his comeback in the game against the Raptors, but this still needs further confirmation. We all know that Payton II's return won't have a significant impact on the Warriors, as his role within the team is limited. It must be said that Payton II's prolonged injury has been quite challenging, and we hope he can recover soon. Injuries can be incredibly taxing on players. As for Bjelica, he is still dealing with an abdominal injury, and there is no clear information on his recovery status yet. Bjelica, frankly speaking, isn't a crucial player for the Warriors. His inconsistent performance this season often kept him out of the "clutch moments" in games, so his influence on the team hasn't been substantial. The Warriors can rely on their core players…
