The entire Clippers team went to Denver! Harden and Leonard looked focused, and the strongest team strived to advance to the seventh place

Basketball

On May 3, the NBA playoffs are in full swing, and there are two suspenses in the first round of the West. The first thing to be revealed will be the series between the Clippers and the Nuggets, and the two teams will usher in a tiebreak battle. After winning the last game, the Clippers successfully dragged the series into tiebreak. Both sides had no way out, and only the winning side could continue to stay.

Because it was played away, the entire Clippers team has also gone to Denver to prepare for the next tiebreak. In the last G6 match, the Clippers also tried their best to successfully win at home, without letting the series end early and continuing to advance. Although this time was played away, the Clippers are already familiar with it. Three of the first 6 games were played away. The Clippers won a victory and also gained some experience.

In the injury report released before the game, the Clippers still played all players, and every player remained healthy. In this, Harden and Leonard are magically focused. They know the importance of this game and can only advance if they win. For Harden, he also needs to continue his performance in G6, which is also a test for him. After all, Tianwangshan's poor performance has been criticized by many people. Regarding the tiebreak, Harden also revealed that he could play for 48 minutes and was willing to do his best for the team.

Leonard also said bluntly: We have to go on the court to enjoy the game and stay focused. In this round of the series, Leonard's performance was still very steady, and he scored 39 points in G2, regaining some peak feeling. Interestingly, Harden and Leonard both had their seventh tiebreaker in their careers, and they had 3 wins and 3 losses in the first six games. It depends on whether they can join forces to increase their winning rate to more than 50%. If the Clippers want to win the game, they must play, otherwise the chance will be very slim.

No players are absent, and the Clippers will also attack with the strongest lineup, striving to advance to the second round in the tiebreak battle. For the Clippers, they still have some potential for changes. G6 abandoned Dunn in the second half and allowed veteran Batum to enter the starting lineup to improve the overall height and outside space. This change is still very effective and high. In the second half, the Clippers widened the score difference and maintained the lead since then. Next, it depends on whether the Nuggets can make changes. Once they cannot limit them, the Clippers still have a great chance of winning.
