The Clippers only played 37 games in the regular season of Super Max Card. With the team's scoring champion Powell only played 60 games in half a season, he supported the team and led the team to the playoffs directly as fifth in the Western Conference. It can be said that the Clippers are likely to hover in the lottery zone this season without Harden. With the regular season fully burned out, veteran Harden still performed well in the playoffs, scoring consecutive points in the critical stages, almost winning the first game. G3 set the tone with 20 points in the first half. G6 scored 17 points in the second quarter to give the team a chance to enter the 7th.

Power forward

Randall (Timberwolves)

Randall (Tienwolf)

Randall, who was abandoned by the Knicks in the name of the playoff softball, came to the cold Minnesota. Almost everyone was not optimistic about this deal. Although the score in the regular season has declined, Randall is slowly integrating into the team system. The Wolves also won wildly at the last moment, and finally got rid of the playoffs and came to the sixth place in the West to face the third Lakers in the West.

Almost all media support the Lakers, but the Wolves don't think so. Randall even played his best playoff performance in his career, averaging 22.6 points per game and a shooting percentage of 49.3% is much higher than his previous playoff performance. At the same time, he can average 4 assists per game and make less than 2 mistakes, becoming an important No. 4 fulcrum for the Wolves. The Wolves also swept the Lakers, shocking everyone. G5 scored 11 points in the final quarter and was the hero of the team's victory. Randall is using his outstanding performance to respond to everyone's prejudice against him and existing labels

Shin Kyung (Rockets)

As one of the young cores of the Rockets, Shin Kyung performed well in the regular season. Not only was he selected as the All-Star for the first time, but he also led the team to second place in the Western Conference. He returned to the playoffs after 19 years and played for the first time in the playoffs. Shin Kyung scored 20.9 points and 11.9 rebounds in the double-double data, and also gave the team the most 5.3 assists. Such performance is excellent enough for players who appeared in the playoffs for the first time. G6 defeated the Warriors away, and Shin Kyung scored 21 points and 14 rebounds, helping the team bring the game back to Houston. Although the team regretted losing to the more experienced Warriors in the end, Shin Kyung is undoubtedly a key figure in the team..

Harden and Westbrook all had a brilliant yesterday, and were maliciously belittled by the media, but they were still diligent in doing good deeds for the team and pursuing their basketball dreams. They have never given up on themselves, so how could they care about those rumors?

Randall, as a representative of the backbone of the league, has had a not-excellent playoff experience, but people will always grow, and may be different life experiences in different environments.

Wagner and Shin Kyung are rising stars in the league. Their future is infinitely bright and they have infinite possibilities. Even if they fail, they can face it calmly and just need to hone themselves.
