Today, the Clippers narrowly defeated the Trail Blazers 132-127 at home, and after this game, the Clippers ushered in four consecutive wins, the longest winning streak this season, and the Big Four scored 86 points, which can be regarded as gratifying.
Today, the Clippers star Leonard played 38 minutes and scored 34 points, shooting 11 of 19, 3 of 8 three-point shots, and the efficiency value was 31 The highest in the game, George played 41 minutes and scored 20 points, 7 of 17 shots, 2 of 8 three-point shots, although the shooting rate was not high, but he made a great contribution with his excellent defense, he handed out 8 assists, and George's final key layup was the key to the team's victory in the game, which was precisely because of this goal The Trail Blazers completely failed. Harden also contributed 20 points in 37 minutes, hitting half of the 14-of-14 shooting, and 7 assists, what is more celebrated for Harden is that he adapts to the overall offensive tactics of the Clippers, Harden's judgment thinking is more and more integrated into the Clippers' system, attacking when it is time to attack, knowing how to pull out the center of the Trail Blazers, and Harden is preparing to shoot when he catches the ball, unlike before when he gets the ball, he doesn't attack much, he just wants to assist the two cores.
Today, Wei Shao is still the Clippers' hardest working man, although he played only 16 minutes, he also scored 12 points, but only 7 shots with 5 hits, and the shooting rate is also high. However, there are 4 mistakes, which can be regarded as filling the past, for Wei Shao is still a fighter of speed and passion on the court, as long as there is a chance, his fast attack speed is not able to keep up. But Wei Shao's enthusiasm on the court is not comparable to others, but there is one thing I have to say that Wei Shao, that is, when Wei Shao breaks through the basket, he knows that many people help defend the bag, but he still only passes the ball to the inside, Zubac on the inside is slow, and the butter hand is also very sharp, can't you pass the ball out of the outside personnel, and the breakthrough speed must also cooperate with the teammates on the outside, which is more conducive to the overall offense of the Clippers.
Judging from today's whole game, the Clippers' offense in the first quarter was very smooth, they used Zubac, who had a high advantage, to eat all kinds of cakes on the inside, as long as they broke through, they gave the high Zubac to finish, Zubac also lived up to expectations, scoring 14 points early in a single quarter. Attacking too well, they started to show themselves lightly, but the situation is like this, and when you relax, it's the beginning of your cost. In the second quarter, the Trail Blazers switched to a defensive strategy, began to consciously shoot some people, and resolutely piled up on the inside, so as to pick up more rebounds, and the offense punished the Clippers on the outside. This is all the consequence of the Clippers easing their defense, and when the Trail Blazers caught up, the Clippers began to parry a little hard, and at halftime, the Clippers led the Trail Blazers by only one point at 66-65, scoring only 23 points in the second quarter, allowing the opponent to score 33 points.
When the third quarter came up, the Clippers were very smooth on offense like in the first quarter, and the three-point shooting felt back, but the Trail Blazers came to an extraordinary performance, with 9 of 11 three-point shots in a single quarter, and the Clippers were 105-99 in the third quarter, leading by only 6 points, and in the fourth quarter, the Clippers' outside shooting was inaccurate. On the contrary, the more he played, the harder he became, he couldn't get on Zubac's rebounds, he was beaten, and he still suffered in rebounds and height.
Although the Clippers won the game, they really can't underestimate the enemy, as long as they are on the court, they must maintain a high level of defense, don't lose the game in the end, come on the Clippers.
