Clippers backcourt core: I organized the training camp for the veterans, we need to get familiar with each other in advance

The Los Angeles Clippers conducted daily training activities. After the training, the team's backcourt core James Harden accepted an interview with a sideline reporter. During the interview, he was also asked about the situation of the small training camp he organized in Arizona before the start of the Clippers training camp.

In this regard, Harden said: This is mainly for some veterans of the team. John Collins, Brook Lopez, Chris Paul, Kris Dunn, and Bradley Beal all participated in the training camp. My purpose in organizing this training camp is actually to allow everyone to get together before the start of the season, communicate more, and become more familiar with each other. This can also help us establish a good chemical reaction. Harden continued: In my opinion, this is the focus of this training camp. Because the more time you spend off the court, the more tacit understanding you will have on the court, and the two are connected. So I think that meeting was a good start and achieved good results. I believe that in the next new season, we will also perform better, and we veterans will also find a tacit understanding with each other, and we can all play an important role in the team.

In the NBA regular season last season, Harden played a total of 79 times in 82 games, averaging 35.3 minutes per game. He averaged 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1.5 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game. He also had 4.3 turnovers and 2.1 fouls. He shot 41% from the field and 3 from the three-point range. 5.2%, and the free throw percentage was 87.4%. In the playoffs, Harden played a total of 7 times, averaging 39.4 minutes per game, averaging 18.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 9.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 1 block. He also had 3 turnovers and 2.3 fouls. He shot 43.6% from the field, 36.4% from the three-point range, and 81.8% from the free throw line.

The Clippers also made a number of signings this summer, including older veterans like Lopez, Paul and Bill, and the two core figures of Harden and Kawhi Leonard are also very old. The Clippers' roster is also one of the oldest of any team. Therefore, Harden's statement is not unreasonable. These veterans of the team really need such a training camp to find a tacit understanding in advance, which may also have the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort. I don’t know how effective Harden’s training camp is. How can the Clippers veterans perform in the new season?
