The Clippers also have a good point in losingWei Shao went all out, and the Big Four had more expectations behind him
The Clippers defeated the Thunder 115-134 115-134 to end their nine-game victory. Failure isn't a bad thing for the Clippers, it's a reasonable ending. Wei Shao is full of firepower, and the four of them have greater potential behind them.
In this battle, they were defeated by the Thunder. After all, they are also the number two in the Western League, and their heritage is still very strong. For two games in a row, the Clippers' players were tired, and their veterans struggled to catch up with their youngsters.
The Thunder's rookies played well, with Alexander scoring 31 points, Chet and Dort also scoring 23,21 points, and they shot very well. Willis returned to the Thunder with 15 points, 13 rebounds, and four assists, giving the team a huge boost.
Why is the Clippers' loss not a good thing?First of all, the fatigue of the players, Leonard is out with injury, George is back, but his body is not quite **. After nine wins, the whole team is tired and needs a good rest. The veterans of this team are going to get used to it.
Secondly, winning streaks are good, but it's a big mental load on the team, especially during the season. All four of the Clippers showed their quality, so they don't have to worry about their victory. If they can break that, the team will be able to advance and focus on the upcoming matches.
Third, consecutive victories can disguise problems, and consecutive defeats can allow a team to find and correct its own problems in time. Consecutive victories can keep the morale of the players high, but they ignore their own problems. After ending the winning streak, the team also became more calm.
The big four want to win a championship, so they have to make sure they're in shape so they can keep their fitness. And with the return of Leonard and the recovery of Harden and George, their performance will also get better.
