The Clippers lost 108-110 to the 76ers. Everyone may have the same doubts. Do they have to kill if they are 2 points behind?

First, the situation is not good for the Clippers. The Clippers entered the fourth quarter with a 10-point lead. The 76ers' three-ball-handler lineup composed of 25-year-old Maxey + 20-year-old Edgecombe + 25-year-old Grimes put unlimited pressure on the Clippers' defense in the final quarter.

Secondly, the Clippers are playing back-to-back away games and are short of men and horses. The 36-year-old Harden's single-core team has consumed a lot of money recently: four days ago in the Cup away game against the Mavericks, he played 51 minutes and 03 seconds; yesterday in Boston, he played 37 minutes and 49 seconds; today at the 76ers' home court, he continued to play 36 minutes and 47 seconds. Three games in four days. In the past three games, not only did the average playing time per game be close to 42 minutes, but the pressure of defensive double-teaming was a double drain on physical and mental energy.

The 76ers were able to deploy at least three ball-handlers despite George's playing time limit. The Clippers only had Harden, and they really didn't have the physical strength or energy to play overtime.

In fact, the Clippers did not lose on the last buzzer-beater. They led by up to 13 points, and entered the fourth quarter with a 10-point lead (83-73). The 76ers' three shots in the backcourt (Maxey + Edgcomb + Grimes) really overwhelmed the Clippers in the fourth quarter with their fast attack storm.

The three ball-handlers took turns to attack, smoothing the point difference in one move and leading the Clippers by 4 points with 1 minute and 08 seconds left before the end. In one quarter, from the leader to the chaser, the roles are reversed, and the gap in lineup strength does exist.

Maxi, Edgecombe, and Grimes surrounded Harden alone, and the three heroes from Hulao fought against Lu Bu.

The Clippers' remnant formation was able to carry the game to the last round far beyond expectations. When Harden made the first three-pointer, Grimes had an obvious elbow movement. Maybe tomorrow's referee report will give us the answer. Harden led the team back to back with 28 points, 5 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal. He really tried his best.

The Clippers are full of injuries. Kawhi Kawhi and Jones are injured. Beal is reimbursed for the season. They are missing three starters. Harden leads the team with a bright-card style of play.

The starting lineup is Harden + Dunn + Sanders + Collins + Zubac. The old four remain unchanged. Sanders is the No. 50 rookie this year. He has been in the NCAA for five years. He is 201 centimeters tall and averages 35.7% of three-pointers per game this season - 3D ready to fight, young and energetic.

Theoretically, both Bogdan and Batum can be in the starting lineup, but due to age, physical fitness, and balancing the starting and bench lineups, Director Lu chose to let Sanders practice.

Sanders played 30 minutes and 11 seconds in this campaign, contributing 17 points, 1 rebound, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 3 three-pointers, overfulfilling the task.

There is no secret in the Clippers' offensive attack. Collins, Dunn, and Sanders set up a fixed-point ambush. Harden holds the ball and Zubac picks and rolls, or Zubac hands over to Harden to catch the ball and cut - creating space for Harden as much as possible and an opportunity to easily enter the three-second zone to make Harden play comfortably.

Harden lived up to expectations, scoring 17 points, 2 assists and 1 shot on 5-of-9 shooting in the first quarter. He held the ball and took a shot, calling out Maxi for a one-on-one challenge, until the 76ers were double-teamed. The Clippers played a three-dimensional pick-and-roll offensive chain: Harden attracted a double attack → Zubac handled the ball in a downward direction → Collins/Dunn/Sanders then connected. Harden single-handedly supported the Clippers' offensive system.

Harden is the system, and once again used the "rocket boarding" style of tearful play to help the Clippers successfully get the start.

George is back. The 76ers' paper configuration is theoretically better than that of the Clippers. They can double-team Harden. The performance of the Clippers' role players is crucial.

The 76ers have three ball-handling points in Maxey, Edgcomb, and George in the starting lineup. On the bench, there is also Grimes, who averaged 21.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.5 assists for the 76ers last season. The multi-ball handler model does allow the 76ers to have a higher offensive ceiling.

One of the main reasons why the 76ers lagged behind the Clippers was the three-point inaccuracy. George, Maxey, and Edgecombe conducted a large number of rounds of one-on-one three-point bets - naming Harden and one-on-one three-pointers. The 76ers only made 4 of 17 three-pointers in the first half, especially in the second quarter. The team made 0 of 7 three-pointers, and only scored 46 points in the half.

When the 76ers missed the three-pointer, the Clippers Jigsaw players stood up.

On the basis of Harden + Zubac's basic pick-and-roll plan to attract a flank attack, Dunn and Sanders, who were left open in the starting lineup, soared into three-pointers early. Batum and Daluo in the substitute lineup also provided three-point firepower. Bogdan, as Harden's main attacker on the court after rest, also contributed 9 points and 5 assists. Paul also took 11 minutes and 13 seconds to make a three-pointer in rotation. With this ability and level of the rest of the team, the generals really tried their best.

Harden attacked and mobilized, and Coach Lu also tried his best to put space points on the court. The role players also knew that Harden was difficult, and the three armies fought hard and fought to the death.

The Clippers tried their best, but there was nothing they could do against Maxi. The 76ers achieved a comeback through speed increase and multi-ball handler mode.

After falling behind by 13 points, the 76ers reduced their lineup to a smaller lineup. They had four ball-holding points with 206 centimeters of Barlow + George + Edgecombe + Grimes + Maxey.

George's comeback has a playing time limit. The 76ers' decisive lineup included Zhuang Shen + Watford + Grimes + Edgcomb + Maxey. The three shots in the backcourt all have the ability to hold the ball and hit three-pointers in isolation. The surging offensive firepower once overtook the Clippers by 5 points.

Harden continued to be double-teamed in the decisive period. The rest of the Clippers dealt with four-on-three. Collins and Sanders cut inside to create damage and extend life. Dunn and Batum double-teamed Maxey to gain the key ball. The Clippers, who were 2 points behind, had the final chance to tie or kill the ball.

Director Lu drew a clear tactic, Harden executed the last attack, and one ball determined life or death..

Grimes defended Harden alone, which was an acceptable singles matchup for the Clippers. Harden's winning three-pointer was obviously elbowed, but the referee did not give any indication; Harden picked up a long rebound and failed to seize the second corner three-pointer opportunity.

With two opportunities, Harden has averaged 37.6% of three-pointers per game so far this season. His shot selection is reasonable but may not necessarily lead to good results - accepting regrets is the charm of basketball.

Sanders' performance is a highlight of the Clippers' campaign. The young man proved that he can play the starting No. 3 position for 30 minutes, and he also has space attributes for 3 three-pointers. The starting set of Harden + Dunn + Sanders + Collins + Zubac is the five-man group they can trust now.

Beal is out for the season, Kawhi Kawhi and Jones are out and their return date has not yet been determined, Paul's fuel tank has bottomed out, Bogdan's status has fluctuated, and the Clippers have no reliable second ball handler except Harden. However, the 76ers were able to come up with a four-ball-handler lineup of Maxi + George + Grimes + Edgecombe. It was really a drought and a drought. The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.

The team is in a special period of injuries. Harden's average of 26.2 points per game is a new high since leaving the Rockets. He is both a father and a mother, and never complains about the environment. The 36-year-old ball-carrying core and lone hero is so tragic!
