Clippers 126-124 Pelicans, player evaluation: 4 players received perfect marks, 3 players passed, 3 players collapsed

NBA Western Conference NBA Cup, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Pelicans 126-124. In this game, the Clippers originally opened up the points gap at the end of three quarters, but unfortunately there were problems on the defensive end in the final quarter, and their offensive efficiency also declined, and they were continuously chased by their opponents. Fortunately, Leonard made a sure kill and won the victory.

The performance of all four players was perfect. Leonard scored 34 points on 11 of 16 shots, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 6 steals, and scored 14 points in the last 6 minutes. In this game, Leonard showed his value on offense and defense. On the offensive end, opponents could not guard him at all. On the defensive end, he could lock down his opponent. This state is his peak. Jones' three-point shooting percentage has improved this season, plus he is 7 of 10 in the game. The defensive end is still his basic game, and he ensures stable offensive and defensive output.

Harden played 39 minutes, the most on the team, and ended up with 24 points, 5 rebounds, 14 assists and 2 steals. Now Harden is very crucial to the team. He must continue to be on the court. If he goes off, the offensive rhythm will be lost and he will be too tired. Collins performed very well. With 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting, the defensive end restricted Zion well. Unfortunately, he didn't play at the last minute.

Bill, Dunn, and Zubac all performed passably. Bill made 3 of 8 shots and scored 9 points, 1 rebound and 2 assists. He was in very good shape in this comeback game, but once he scored 5 points in a row, he was replaced by Tyronn Lue. Fortunately, he is in good condition now and is good enough to start. Dunn's output was also good. He scored 6 points on 3-for-6 shooting and had 3 steals. This was a basic performance for him. Zubac's points and rebounds in this game are all basic, that is, he was continuously chased by Ayton on the defensive end. This is the team being chased for points continuously in the final quarter, and he is the culprit.

Batum, Lopez and Paul all showed collapse. Batum has been in a bit of a sluggish state during this period, struggling offensively and gradually failing defensively. Once Lopez loses control on the offensive end, there will be little effect on the defensive end. In addition, Paul has declined very much this season. He scored 3 points, 1 rebound and 4 assists on 1 of 4. It is difficult to provide a positive boost to the bench.
