Clippers news: Harden s younger brother transforms, Powell criticizes his old owner, game update against Heat

Harden's younger brother's transformation

Today, the 76ers played away against the Nets. In the end, after four quarters, the 76ers defeated their opponents 129:105. In this campaign, Maxi, the core of the 76ers' backcourt, performed well. He played 39 minutes and made 9 of 19 shots, 4 of 9 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists. With this, Maxi also achieved a remarkable achievement, that is, becoming the fifth player in history to score at least 25 points and 5 assists in six consecutive games at the beginning of the season, comparable to Archibald (72-73 season), Iverson (05-06 season), Harden (16-17 season) and Doncic (22-23 season).

In fact, the reason why Maxi was able to transform from a "silly young man" who only focused on breakthroughs before to an All-Star guard who can attack and pass now is not only related to his own efforts, but also inseparable from the careful guidance of big brother Harden on and off the court. During the two years Harden played for the 76ers, he handed over his game preparation, offensive skills and how to read the game to Maxi, and he also took great care of his little brother off the court. So when Harden was traded to the Clippers by the 76ers, Maxey was the only 76ers fan who repeatedly blessed Harden and thanked him. This is enough to prove that Harden is really an excellent teammate and leader. I also hope that the young people in the Clippers team can learn more from Harden. I believe Harden is also willing to teach everything he has to offer. If the Clippers have a player like Maxi emerge, then the team will have more confidence to compete with the league's strong teams.

Powell criticized his old club

Today, former Clippers player Norman Powell, now playing for the Heat, accepted "Essentially" Sports" interview and criticized the old owner's dishonest behavior. Powell said: "Last year, I heard countless times how much the Clippers valued me and how much they wanted to keep me for a long time. However, when trade rumors emerged, their attitude changed 180 degrees. From 'We love you, I "We want to re-sign you" turned into "We want to improve the frontcourt, we want to get younger," which is very ridiculous, and I feel like I haven't been respected enough." This offseason, the Clippers sent Powell away in a three-way deal and acquired power forward Collins from the Jazz.

Regarding Powell's remarks, fans talked a lot. Some people said: "The Clippers' approach is indeed unkind. Since the Clippers agreed to renew the contract, they should not go back on their words. Besides, Powell played so well in the regular season last season, which was the first step for the Clippers to enter the playoffs." Some people said: "Forget it, Powell's poor performance in the playoffs is simply embarrassing. If he is renewed, the Clippers will never win the championship in the next few years." In the final analysis, competitive sports depend on their performance on the field. "So what do you think about this? You can discuss and discuss in the comment area.

Updated appearance against the Heat

Tomorrow at 11:30 noon, the Clippers will face the Miami Heat at home. Today, the Clippers officially released the injury list and appearance status of this game. The results show that no Clippers player is on the injury list and all players are available to play. It is worth mentioning that this is also the first time this season that all Clippers are healthy. By then, can the Clippers, who have home court momentum and physical advantages (the Heat play the Lakers today and will play back-to-back tomorrow), usher in a long-lost victory? Let’s wait and see.
