This is an upgraded version of George, his three pointers are fierce, and his shooting is more precise than before. Since arriving at the speedboat, George has repeatedly suffered from injuries and is not in his best form, but now he seems to have returned to the days of the King of India.
On January 13th, Beijing time, the Clippers defeated the Grizzlies 128-119 away to achieve a three game winning streak, with a record of 25 wins and 13 losses. The Clippers continued to rank fourth in the Western Conference, but were only two games away from the Timberwolves, who were the first in the Western Conference. The speedboat was fully manned, and in this battle, six people scored double. George showed an efficient performance, scoring 37 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals, and making 7 out of 10 three pointers. Xiaoka scored 22 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks. Harden scored 11 points, 1 rebound, and 9 assists. Wei played for 16 minutes, scoring 12 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists.
The Grizzlies lacked Morant and Smart, severely damaging their combat power. The Clippers fell behind 23-26 in the first quarter, but in the second quarter they played 42-27 and in the third quarter they played 35-26, taking the initiative. The Grizzlies chased points in the last quarter, but it was too late.
George continued his efficient performance during this period, making 12 out of 18 shots, 7 out of 10 three pointers, and 6 out of 6 free throws. The efficient attacking pickled pepper has returned. In recent years, pickled peppers have experienced various injuries and illnesses, leading to a decline in their condition. George is currently in good health and his condition is experiencing a strong recovery.
George's recent form has been very stable, he has scored 20+in 13 consecutive games. Entering January 2024, George averaged 27.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.9 steals per game. His offensive efficiency was outrageous, with a shooting percentage of 55.0%, a three-point shooting percentage of 50.7%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 90.0%.
In January, George ranked first on the three-point chart with an average of 4.9 three-point shots per game. In January, George had already pitched 34 three-pointers, leading the three-point chart. Van Jordan ranked second with 27 three-pointers and Thompson ranked third with 25. Curry pitched 22 three pointers in January and tied for eighth place.
George not only pitched the most three pointers, but also had an extremely high three-point shooting percentage. George's efficient performance also helped the Clippers win, with a positive or negative score of+105 in January, ranking fourth in the league. In January, the speedboat achieved a record of 6 wins and 1 loss.
The best George has returned, and if you look at his overall performance this season, he has become very efficient. He averages 23.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.64 steals per game, has a shooting percentage of 46.9%, a three-point shooting percentage of 42.3%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 92.1%. George's three-point shooting percentage has set a career high, and his free throw shooting percentage has also set a career high.
George's three-point firepower has undergone a transformation, which is closely related to Harden's passing. Harden is good at coordinating with the center forward and often feeds bread to Zubbarts. Harden is also good at breaking through and giving pointers to three pointers, which greatly benefited George and gave him many opportunities to take three pointers from empty spaces.
Harden has assisted George 64 times this season, ranking first. Wei Shao assisted George 36 times, and Xiaoka assisted George 22 times, ranking third. Harden is a superstar who has won three league scoring championships. When he holds the ball and attacks, he can attract the opponent's defensive attention. He is also a superstar who has won two assists, with exquisite passing techniques and a broad perspective. George has more opportunities for easy attacks.
In an interview after the game, George said of his 7 three pointers, "This all comes from Harden, Westbrook, Leonard, they were sandwiched, and I was in an empty position. I played with these guys for a lot of time, I found the rhythm, and from that moment on, everything could be pitched."
George also bluntly stated his favorite tactic: "Harden starts pick and roll." George said that when Harden starts a pick and roll attack, the opponent will have two people defending Harden or two people defending Zubbarts, and he will get a spot.
The best George has returned, and now he has shown the most efficient attacking performance of his career, which is definitely great news for the Clippers. He is also in excellent condition now. He is in stable condition and defends awesome. Harden did make a huge sacrifice, sacrificing his own attack and focusing on organizing attacks for his teammates. The current model of the three giants of the speedboat industry is already very tacit, becoming the most fierce team in the Western Conference in recent times.
