Sweeping the haze of Tianwang Mountain, Harden plays for 46 minutes to help the speedboat cliff continue his life
12:43pm, 9 May 2025【Basketball】
In the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, Harden's downturn made the Clippers lose the initiative to end the series at home. In the whole game, Harden was not aggressive, made only 3 hits in 9 shots, scored 11 points and made 4 mistakes. Back at home today, Harden finally wiped out the sluggishness of the previous two games.
In this game, he only took a break of 1 minute and 25 seconds in the last stage of the first quarter. He played all the other games, made 10 of 20 shots, made 3 of 8 three-pointers, and scored comprehensive data of 28 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists and 2 steals, helping the Clippers defeated the Nuggets 111-105 at home, dragging the series into the tiebreak. In the two games of G4 and G5 in the series, Harden only scored 26 points in total. Today, he has accumulated a lot of strength and regained his form.
"It's just about playing aggressive, either winning or going home, there are many opportunities to play aggressive, I seized the opportunity. We executed the game plan well, we corrected the bugs, and there's one game," Harden said in an interview after the game. For Harden's outstanding performance, Clippers coach Tyron Lu also gave him a high evaluation: "It's really impressive! He wants to play every game and he is in good shape. He has been training for such moments. He wants to play, he wants to compete, and tonight he takes us back to the track of victory."
Nothing to think, if you want to eliminate the Nuggets in the series, Clippers need to limit Jokic as much as possible and cut off his connection with his teammates. But at the same time, Leonard and Harden also need to take responsibility on the offensive end. If Harden continues his outstanding form today to the next game, the Clippers will have a chance to win a tiebreak away.
"Either win or go home, we don't want to go home yet. We still have a game to play in a few days. We have to do better. We still make a lot of mistakes today. We have to execute better and then win the game." Harden said that in the upcoming tiebreak battle, he still has the possibility of playing for more than 45 minutes. "I have to do this. That's how things are. It's part of the game. No matter what the team needs, it's 47 minutes, 48 minutes, overtime, or whatever, I'll do it." Coach Lu said in an interview after the game that Harden's physical fitness was almost exhausted when he entered the last moment. The coaching staff had to call out timeouts many times to help Harden recover his physical fitness.
People often have certain doubts about Harden's performance in key battles. The tiebreak with the Nuggets will also be the seventh tiebreak battle in Harden's personal career. In the previous six tiebreak games, Harden averaged 21.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 7.0 assists, 2.7 steals, 1.3 blocks, 4.3 turnovers, with a shooting percentage of 36.3%, 22.2% of three-pointers, and 82.4% of free throws, with a record of 3 wins and 3 losses.
"The seventh game will be tough, but we are ready for the challenge," said Director Lu.
