After losing to the Warriors, Lu blamed the blame: Harden asked to be substituted, Bill should not be absent, and Powell is missed

On October 29th, the most watched game today was undoubtedly the Warriors versus the Clippers. I thought it would be a battle between Mars and the Earth. However, the Warriors defeated the Clippers in the third quarter. The entire game gave the impression that the Clippers were the back-to-back team. The total score of the team was less than 80 points and the game had less than 10 assists. This is really rare in this small ball era. This is also the first time in the NBA in the past eight years.

If the Clippers played so badly, someone must take the blame. Looking at the entire game, their stars, including role players, did not perform well. Harden scored 20 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist. This is already the highest score in the team, and 20 points It was Harden who scored in the first half and 0 points in the second half. Leonard made 7 of 17 shots, 1 of 4 three-pointers and got 18 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist. The machine card of the year has also lost its dominance. Only Zubac scored in double figures among other players, with 14 points and 13 rebounds.

Faced with such a terrible defeat, Tyronn Lue thought he would take the blame during the interview, but he started to shift the blame. He said that both Leonard and Harden were physically exhausted in the third quarter, and Harden even took the initiative to ask for a rest, so he replaced the two of them directly. From Tyronn Lue's words, it is not difficult to tell that he is very dissatisfied with such a situation in the core. After all, they are still exhausted in such a crucial game.

Have you ever thought about the physical inability of the two of them due to

? Let’s talk about Harden first. Before this game, Harden averaged 21.7 points, 5 rebounds and 10.3 assists per game, shooting 52.8% from the field and 39% from three-point range. As the team’s ball-handling core, Harden’s performance was impeccable, both in terms of data and offensive efficiency. In the previous three games, the Clippers were able to achieve a record of 2 wins and 1 loss. It can be said that Harden is dragging the team forward. He has played the role of the team’s leader.

After all, Harden is not young anymore. He is now 36 years old. Under such circumstances, the team has been placing the offensive burden on him, which makes it reasonable for him to be physically exhausted. Harden played 20 minutes in the first half of this game, and he was still responsible for the team's offense. It is understandable that he is not physically fit enough and wants to take a rest. Leonard has given people the feeling that he has declined this season and is not at the level of the top fifteen in the league.

To be honest, I think if it doesn't work, let Leonard rest more. If he is so stubborn now, if he gets injured again in the future, it won't be worth the gain, but it doesn't matter. If Tyronn Lue continues to use him like this, the Clippers won't be able to get far even if they make the playoffs. Leonard averaged 21.3 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.3 steals per game this season, shooting 47% from the field and 36.8% from three-point range. He is now facing the defense of top forward defenders, and his efficiency is not as good as before.

Later, in an interview, Tyronn Lue also believed that Bill's absence was the key to the team's loss. He said: Looking back on last year's game against the Warriors, we will think of Powell. The team needs someone who can finish and handle the ball tonight, but we don't have it. Bill's absence has a huge impact on the team, especially in this critical game. I have to say that Tyronn Lue is indeed confident. He never thinks that it is his own problem. Even an injured person can be blamed.

Bill is indeed not healthy enough. He has only played 2 games since joining. Today Bill missed the game due to back soreness. To be honest, even if Bill plays, I don’t think the Clippers can win, because Tyronn Lue’s use of Bill is not the same as Powell’s.

The Clippers' operation during the offseason can be said to be one of the best in the league. They have what seems to be the best lineup in the league, but they are turned into a dual-core team of Leonard and Harden. Collins, an excellent power forward, averaged 19 points per game last season. However, after joining the Clippers this season, he became a substitute and rarely got the ball. In Tyronn Lue's opinion, Collins is not as good as his Batum, which makes people speechless.

Then there’s Paul. After the veteran joined the Clippers, you can’t expect him to score at his current age. He only has top-notch organizational skills, so letting him connect the team is the right thing to do. As a result, Tyronn Lue asked Paul to be a fixed-point shooter. How about playing ball without Paul? As long as they are Clippers fans, they will definitely be able to find the current problems of the Clippers. Tyronn Lue is doing some basketball that people don't understand. He is overestimated.

The team introduced so many outstanding players in the offseason. Their purpose was to let these players reduce the burden on Harden and Leonard, but the result was to increase the burden on the two cores. If Tyronn Lue still has not found a solution after 20 games in the regular season, then there is a high possibility that he will be fired. Having said that, what do you want to say about the current Clippers? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
