33 wins and 6 losses! Please give the ball to Harden, Tyron Lue talks about the Clippers tactics and give him the leader s treatment

Recently, Harden recently celebrated his 36th birthday, and he celebrated it on social media. During this offseason, Harden signed a two-year contract with the Clippers, with the last year partially guaranteed. Although the contract terms are relatively strict, Harden knows his situation: the Clippers are the only team in the league that can allow him to continue chasing the championship, and leaving is not very meaningful. The Clippers' system allows Harden to fully utilize his style, while most other teams have built teams around young cores, and few teams are willing to design tactics with Harden as the core.

In today's NBA, youth has become a trend, and the era of superstars competing for championships is gradually fading away. Looking back at Harden's career, his path to winning the championship always seems to be a little bit of luck. During the Rockets, Chris Paul's hamstring injury made the team miss the opportunity; during the Nets, Harden's own injury became an obstacle; and in the first few seasons of the Sixers and the Clippers, the team's overall strength failed to reach the championship level. However, the Clippers' lineup adjustment this offseason has significantly improved the team's competitiveness. The Clippers relied on Harden to get Bill, strengthening their offensive firepower.

In addition, Powell's exchange for Collins also filled the gap in the fourth position; in addition, the addition of Paul and Lopez further improved the team's lineup depth. These signings directly solved the problem of inefficiency in pick-and-roll offense in the exit, allowing the Clippers to maintain a stable organizational core and interior defensive intensity within 48 minutes of game time. It can be said that the Clippers' lineup is ready, and the only thing they lack may be the luck required to win the championship. When Clippers head coach Tyron Lu was on the podcast program "Club Shay Shay", he was also full of confidence in the lineup of the new season.

Tyron Lue believes that Bill's offensive aggressiveness is far more than Powell, and can attract more defensive attention from his opponents, thereby reducing the pressure for Harden and Leonard. Tyron Lue specifically mentioned that last season the Clippers rely too much on Harden to create opportunities after being double-teamed, and the joining of new players will change this situation. He also stressed that Harden must remain aggressive on the offensive end. Tyron Lue recalled that Harden's initial performance when he just joined the Clippers was relatively conservative, averaging only 7 shots per game, and the team suffered a series of losses. But with the encouragement of the coaching staff, Harden gradually increased his offensive role and found a balance point with Paul George and Leonard. The team's record improved rapidly, achieving an astonishing 33 wins and 6 losses.

Tyron Lue said: "Bill can attract 2-3 defenses, while Lopez can defend against top inside players like Jokic when Zubac is off the court. The addition of Paul and Collins also shared the organizational pressure for Harden. As long as Harden remains aggressive, our offense will be very efficient."

Looking back at the playoffs last season, the Thunder are undoubtedly the first-tier team in the league, while the Nuggets, Pacers and Clippers are in the second-tier team, with equal strength. However, the pattern of the new season has changed. The Pacers' competitiveness has dropped sharply due to Halliburton's Achilles tendon rupture and Turner's departure, and they are basically confirmed to have entered the reconstruction period. Although the Nuggets lost Westbrook and Michael Porter, they introduced Huang Zhong and Brown and their strength was still strong.

, and the Clippers Frank became the "dark horse" of the new season through low-key but efficient signings. The addition of Bill, Collins, Paul and Lopez of the Big Big has significantly improved the Clippers on both offense and defense. Especially when facing a strong opponent like the Nuggets, Lopez's inside defense ability will effectively limit Jokic, making up for the weak insider after Zubac's exit last season. Harden's role in the new season is still the core of the Clippers' tacticality. As the team's main controller, he not only needs to launch tactics on the offensive end, but also needs to show aggressiveness at critical moments

Tyronlu's tactical system is still based on Harden's organizational ability and personal offense, and the arrival of new players has provided him with more support. Bill's explosive scoring power, Collins' rebounding and defense, as well as Paul's experience and Lopez's ability to protect the frame all make the Clippers' lineup more balanced. If Leonard was not absent due to injury when he played against the Mavericks in the first round of the playoffs in 24, the Clippers might be able to go further. In the game against the Nuggets last season, the Clippers also showed their ability to compete with top teams, which is enough to prove their competitiveness in the league.

Rational analysis shows that the Clippers' lineup adjustment in the new season has indeed made them one of the favorites to compete for the championship. As the team's offensive starting point, Harden's injury is not as serious as last season. New players also fill the shortcomings in various positions, greatly reducing the pressure on Harden to lead the team and making the team more balanced on both offense and defense. Looking back on Harden's career, he has missed the championship many times, but the Clippers now give him the best chance. As long as the team stays healthy and gets some luck bonus at critical moments, Harden may be able to realize his dream of winning at the age of 36. The Clippers' performance in the new season will undoubtedly become the focus of the league.
