25+0+16, 63.91 million, third from the bottom! Leonard, can’t afford the injury

So far in the new season, the Clippers have played 9 games but only won 3 games. In a confrontation with the Suns, whose lineup was far inferior to our own, they lost to the opponent 103-114 at home and the game was very embarrassing.

In this campaign, Leonard continued to miss due to injury, and the Suns' core lineup still revolved around Harden and Beal. As a result, they were suppressed by the opponent throughout the game. As for Beard and Beal, their performance was hard to describe.

Column data

Harden:

Salary $39.18 million

13 points + 0 rebounds + 13 assists

4 of 15 shots, plus or minus -18

Bill:

Salary $24.73 million

12 points + 0 baskets Rebounds + 3 assists

4 of 9 shots, plus/minus +4

Harden + Bill:

Total salary is $63.91 million

In this game, they scored 25 points + 0 rebounds + 16 assists

In terms of data, the performance of the Clippers' backcourt duo is really unsatisfactory.

What is the Clippers' current record?

3 wins and 6 losses, suffered 4 consecutive losses, ranking third from the bottom in the Western Conference!

During the period, the opponents were the Heat, Thunder, and the Suns.

As far as opponents are concerned, only the Thunder are truly a strong team. It is conceivable that the Clippers are currently in trouble.

What are the reasons?

Leonard missed 3 games due to ankle during this 4-game losing streak!

Tylen Lue:

Without Leonard, the team's defense and rebounding have exposed too many problems.

Every season, Kawhi will miss a large number of games due to injuries, and the new season has just begun. This time he has missed 4 consecutive games with an ankle sprain. For the Clippers, this is an injury they can't afford!

Data aside, what Leonard can provide to the Clippers is not only the offensive and defensive contributions of 24.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.5 steals per game, but also the improvement of skills and tactics.

The small card can provide Harden and Bill with more space to prevent the latter from being double-teamed!

can also bring assist defense to Zubac, ensure the Clippers' inside deterrence and become the most stable terminator at critical moments, etc.
