Should Harden scored only 7 points in G7? Character determines destiny, passion Westbrook leads the performance of the puzzle

How to evaluate the performance of Harden G7?

Harden made 2 of 8 shots in the game, 7 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 breaks, 1 attack and 2 turnovers, plus or negative value -29.

In terms of organization alone, the Clippers scored 18 goals in the first half, of which Harden alone gave 10 assists in the half. Standing at Harden's position, the Nuggets shorted Jones/Dunn/Borgdan to double-team him. He passed the ball to find Zubac to misplace, cut the card, and switched it to Jones/Carzi to play. Isn't it reasonable to play?

On the defensive end, Harden participated in a lot of changes to Gordon/Jokic. At this age, his legs and feet really couldn't keep up with the speed-type outside line. When he was in a low position, he was 2 broken and 1 blocked at the defensive end.

It is indeed quite eye-catching to score only 7 points in the life-and-death battle. On the one hand, due to the Nuggets' trimmer strategy, he scored 28 points in G6, and it is still very threatening to play Murray singles based on his body. When Harden called for Murray in this game, the Nuggets would not be allowed to double-team them; on the other hand, there is indeed personality factor, Harden is cautious in taking action and does not want to make mistakes. G4, G5, and G7, whose number of shots in a single game in the series have lost.

This essentially shows that the Clippers need Harden to score in some games. After all, most of the lineup defensive half-shots (Dunn, Jones, etc.) have unstable firepower, but a Harden who only provides organizational attributes cannot guarantee that the Clippers can chew the Nuggets.

In the game where the puzzle players were in poor condition and Harden was not aggressive, the Clippers completely lost control.

A game that determines life and death is uncontrollable and accidental, especially the Clippers and Nuggets are two top teams with 50 wins in the West. No matter who beats anyone, it is understandable.

The defensive strategy fundamentally determines the presentation of the game content. The strategies of the Clippers and the Nuggets are basically the same: give the ace strength crazy and check each other's puzzle players.

Derek Jones Jr. made 3 of 3 of 3 at the beginning and made 0 of 5 at one point. Dunn made 0 of 3 of 3 in the first half. Braun made 3-pointers in the open space. When such rounds continue to accumulate, the score difference becomes no longer controllable.

In short, the Clippers' puzzle player did not score a goal, and the Nuggets' puzzle player gave a blood C game with Murray and Teacher Joe 0 of the first 9 shots and 5 of 16 shots in the first half. This is also the most intuitive gap between the two teams on the scene.

The Clippers puzzle player cannot make the shot. What is the main player busy with?

Coach Lu took the initiative to change the lineup and used Derek Jones Jr. to replace Dunn for the start. Although Derek Jones Jr.'s ability to dominate the ball independently showed his presence in pick-and-roll, converted offense, and fixed-point three-pointers. He scored 7 points with 3 of 3 shots at 3 of 3 points, the Nuggets still chose to short Derek Jones Jr. outside the three-point line - freeing up his hand to attack Kar and Harden on a large scale, preventing the Clippers from swinging the two top cards, and giving away the half-shooter on the field (Jones/Dunn) with unswerving defensive strategy.

The Clippers scored 18 goals in the first half, including 10 assists. This most intuitively reflects the Nuggets' defensive strategy against Harden. They frantically attacked and acquiesced to Harden's goal to drive his teammates. As long as Harden doesn't play, it's fine. After all, Harden's G6 took 20 crazy moves and scored 28 points. In this game, Harden only made 6 shots in the first half. Even though he and Bogdanovic played pick-and-roll, the Nuggets firmly chose to attack Harden and let Bogdanovic go.

The Nuggets did not give Harden a comfortable singles match. The pick-and-roll Murray/Ask the teacher's rounds were directly attacked, but they acquiesced to Harden's singles Braun to solve the tough attack. Similarly, the Nuggets' defensive strategy against Xiaoka is exactly the same. They can single-player Gordon/Watson and hard-bite them, and find Murray/ask a teacher to double-team.

The Nuggets perfectly used the non-space points on the Clippers' field (Jones/Dunn). When the defensive rotation was craziest, they even emptied Batum and Bogdanovic who were ambushing the corners. They repeatedly attacked Harden and Kazige and did not allow the match against the weak point, and bet on whether the empty space response of the Clippers' puzzle players could kill people.

When Jones Jr. made 0 in 5 consecutive shots and Dunn made 0 in 3, the Clippers collapsed.

While the unfavorable situation where Teacher Yo and Murray made 0 of the first 9 shots together, Westbrook really ignited the whole team.

Westbrook's fighting spirit is the art of gradually losing the league. Kobe once said that only Westbrook is the most like him in the entire league. The most impressive shot of his game is undoubtedly the two free throws to 1+0+2, and the vitality is encouraging the morale of the whole team - he tried his best in every round, and his emotions are gradually passed on to everyone in the Nuggets.

Murray and Mr. Joe made only 5 of 16 shots in the first half. Gordon, Westbrook, Braun, and Watson joined forces to turn the tide and bullied the Clippers' second lineup in the connection to establish a leading advantage. Especially during Westbrook's first half, the Nuggets' net victory was 10 points, and the historical triple-double kings were in one attack and defense, and they dared to fight. In the first half, they made 3 of 5 and 2 of 3 three-pointers and 2 of 3 three-pointers and 10 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, which was worthy of the Nuggets' MVP in the first half.

The Nuggets' puzzle players gave a strong response during the slow-heating and dumb fire of the dual-core players. Braun, Watson and Westbrook scored a killing effect. Porter Jr. chased three points in a row and added icing on the cake. When Teacher and Murray got into the state, with the support of the surging firepower of the puzzle players, the Nuggets defeated the Clippers in a wave.

The biggest contributor to the Nuggets' tiebreak are Westbrook, Braun, and Watson, the jigsaw puzzle players who were emptied. Their huge differences between their empty players and the Clippers' short-term players really determine the game trend.

The Clippers only scored 21 points in the second quarter and only 19 points in the third quarter. Obviously there was a big problem with the offense.

basically went far in the matches of 1 of Batum 3, 1 of Dunn 4, and Jones Jr. Jr. 3 of 3 and 2 of 7. These uncontrollable puzzle draw effects have put Ka and Harden in endless double-teams.

Kirchen is better than Harden's that he still gives aggressiveness in the face of double-teams. After a difficult situation, he turned around and jumped away from the pinch and made a difficult hit and made two points.. Harden only made 8 shots in the whole game. In this round of the series, Harden made ≤11 shots in the Clippers lost all the games. As the second in command of the team, Harden scored only 7 points in the life-and-death battle in the seventh tie, which was helpless and disappointed.

Westbrook's performance in this round of series is remarkable: G1 contributed key three-pointers and steals, G4 scored 21 points and Murray scored 43 points and both scored points, tiebreaker battles of 16 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 steals, passion ignited the whole team like fire - this passion and fighting spirit are exactly what the Clippers lack. If Harden could have Westbrook's passion and fighting spirit in his career, he could not imagine what he would achieve.

The presentation of work and love must be different. In Westbrook, I believe you and I understand the true meaning of love and passion.
