ESPN is optimistic that the Clippers will win the G6! Harden has been criticized by Pierce and many others. Can another life-and-death battle break out?

According to the schedule, the Clippers will face the Nuggets at home today. For the Clippers who are behind 2-3, today's game is a life-and-death battle. ESPN predicts the Clippers' chance of winning at 54.9%, but many people, including Pierce, criticized Harden.

According to statistics, Harden has played in G6 for 15 times so far in his playoff career, with a record of 3 wins and 12 losses. In these 15 games, Harden's shooting percentage is less than or equal to 33.33% (one-third). In addition, Harden will face the 16th series of G6 in his career. His record is only 3 wins and 12 losses in the first 15 times. In these 15 games, he averaged 20.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 40.4%, and 34.9% of three-pointers.

Regarding Harden's poor performance in the Battle of Kings Mountain and his experience of poor performance at the end of the series, Pierce said on the show: "As the series progresses, historical data proved Harden's performance. When he was in Philadelphia, he had several 40-point games against the Celtics. As the series progressed, he kept regressing. I don't know if G6 can trust him because he didn't stand up in these moments, The facts are facts. This is the most incredible thing. Harden is one of the greatest players, especially during the Rockets. He may have 6 points in the last 40 points in the next game. He is the most incomprehensible superstar in the playoffs. "

Danny Green also talked about this phenomenon on the show, saying: "Usually, he will perform very well from the first to fourth games of the series, and in the fifth, sixth, and seventh games, people say he will decline, Become negative. He and Zubac's pick-and-roll are useful. He is an All-Star this season, he is a point guard, and he can choose his shots. "

Another former NBA player, Parsons, also expressed his criticism of Harden on the show: "I want to see him more aggressive. He only made 9 shots in the key game, which is not enough. Leonard and Powell are both very good. As people who have been holding the ball, Harden needs to protect the ball, 5 assists and 4 missed Mistakes are unacceptable. Harden needs to regain his aggressiveness, go to the free throw line, and do what he does normally. He is one of the most creative scorers. No one in the Nuggets can guard against him, just break through, go to the free throw line, and take more shots. 9 shots are not enough. "

It should be noted that before the game started, the famous media ESPN had to predict this game. The probability of the Clippers winning was 54.9%, while the Nuggets had only 45.1%.

So can the Clippers tie the series to 3-3? Can Harden prove himself in a life-and-death battle? Let's wait and see!
