Harden recently celebrated his 36th birthday. He signed a two-year contract with the team this offseason, with the last year as part of the guarantee. Despite the harsh conditions, Harden also understands his situation. The Clippers are currently the only team in the league that can help him continue to compete for the championship, and leaving is not very meaningful. Moreover, the Clippers can make Harden be themselves, and not many teams are willing to play tactics around Harden because they all have their own core organizers and are all very young.

Nowadays, the youngest league means everything, and the era of winning the championship is far away. In fact, Harden was still not lucky. Paul's hamstrings during the Rockets, his own hamstrings during the Nets, and the 76ers and the Clippers actually did not have the level of winning the championship in these four seasons. Only this offseason has barely reached the level of championship competition. Powell was replaced by Bill, Collins joined the No. 4 position and then came to Paul and Dalow as a substitute to directly solve the problem of 15 pick-and-rolls after Harden and Zubac left the game.

The Clippers truly achieved unlimited leadership in 48 minutes, and there is always a brain and a strong inside player on the court. On the road to championship, everything is ready, but the east wind is not available, and winning the championship will definitely require a little luck. It depends on whether veterans like the Clippers can get some luck bonus. In terms of the team's playing style, at present, it should still be the main control around Harden, and he is definitely the starting point of tactics. Just as Tyron Lue analyzed when he was a podcast program "Club Shay Shay" today, he is optimistic that new players can help Harden and Leonard relieve stress.

Tyron Lue believes that Bill himself is more aggressive than Powell, and he can attract opponents' defensive resources to encircle. Instead of last season, the Clippers rely too much on the opportunities Harden got after being double-teamed. When talking about Harden, Tyron Lue also said that he should continue to be aggressive and not hesitate again because of the new players joining. Tyron Lue also mentioned that Harden had just joined the Clippers in his first season. He criticized Harden for playing conservatively. Later, Harden increased his aggressiveness and the Clippers' record directly improved.

Tyronlu said: "I think Bill and Dalu can help us a lot. Bill has attracted 2-3 people on the offensive end. There is also Lopez. When we faced Jokic last season, we needed to hit him once Zubac came off the court. Now we have Dalu, who can defend Jokic alone. Paul and Collins, all of them can help Harden relieve the pressure. I think Harden still needs to remain aggressive. I remember when he first joined the Clippers, he averaged only 7 shots per game. I asked him to increase his aggressiveness at that time. Later, we had a terrifying record of 33 wins and 6 losses. When Harden was the core of tactical and aggressive, we played very well. "

Harden was a little hesitant when he first joined the Clippers. The team also lost in a row. He has not yet found the balance between George and Leonard. It was indeed as Tyron Lue said later. Harden increased his role and the three giants of the Clippers took off immediately. If Leonard was not reimbursed for the first round of the 24th round, it would be hard to say which side will win the battle. Including last season, the Clippers are also teams that can compete with the Nuggets for 7 games. Then we compare the Nuggets and Thunder 7 games to the game, and the Clippers are definitely in the second tier of the league.

According to the results of the playoffs in the previous season, the Thunder is the first level. The Nuggets, Pacers, and Clippers are in the second gear, and the strength of these three teams is equally good. However, these three teams are different in the new season. The strength of the Clippers and Nuggets has soared, the Pacers Halliburton's Achilles tendon ruptured, and Turner has left, and will basically be bad next season. The Nuggets lost Westbrook and Porter Jr., but got Huang Zhong, Johnson and Le Brown, while the Clippers suddenly made a fortune in silence.
