In the last quarter, the Clippers fought with a twelve-point spirit and started a desperate struggle with the Warriors!
Leonard was injured, George was injured and Professor Lu was also sent off. The Clippers defeated the Warriors in the final quarter to end their five-game winning streak. How did you win this competition? The calm Harden, the solid Wei Shaomeng, the solid Powell. Although their perimeter players didn't play as well as they should in the first three quarters, they bounced back late or at the end of the quarter.
In a time when the two sides were on edge, the Clippers showed their amazing adaptability.
The Clippers didn't play well, losing back-to-back games. On the other hand, the Warriors were in good form some time ago, winning two games in a row. The matchup between the two giants, Leonard's absence, has greatly affected the results of the Clippers. This time the game can be said to be tense. Especially in the second half, there were quite a few technical fouls on the players of both teams. After the first three quarters, the Clippers ended the game with a 44-28 lead.
What happened to the game? Plumlee was sent off for being disrespectful to the referee, while Lew was sent off. The string of technical fouls is indeed regrettable, but for the Clippers, it is a cautionary tale for the Clippers. In the final stages of the game, the Clippers were all-round from the outside, and the Clippers were also a very smooth offense.
Harden has been very solid.
Leonard came off the bench, George went off the court with six fouls, and Harden shattered the Rockets' dream and led the team to a victory. And for them to beat the Warriors, they have to control their own pace of the game, and at the same time, they have to ensure that their defense can't let the opponent easily hit three-pointers. Capela is injured, and Harden is the Clippers' handle, which means that he can be the Clippers' offensive and defensive partner. Harden scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists, and his performance was very consistent.
Unfortunately, George was fired.
It was in such a difficult situation that George was the first to come on in the second half and use his goal to stabilize the situation. George, who scored 24 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, although he didn't play as well as he should outside the three-point range, his tough counterattack on the defensive end allowed the Warriors to establish a huge advantage. What's more important is that George has played well on the pitch and that has to be acknowledged. There was only one regret that George left the game before that foul.
Willow is quite powerful.
Wei Shao left the conference room at the end of the meeting. He finished with 15 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists. Among them, in the crucial fourth quarter, Wei Shao scored 10 points and 4 rebounds to complete the whole game. Willis turned the tide for the team by constantly grabbing key rebounds on the offensive end, creating a scoring opportunity for the team. Toward the end of the game, Willis hit both free throws to set the groundwork for the Lakers' victory.
Powell-style keycaps.
And in this game, the real key players are Wei Shao and Powell. In the final quarter, Powell hit a three-pointer from the corner to give the Clippers a decisive victory, and this time, his ball was a must-kill. In the fourth quarter, Powell completed all the offense, he hit four 3-pointers, scored 12 points alone, and he scored 21 points in the whole game, like a madman.
Zubac remains the Clippers' most solid midfielder, and he has just recovered from injury and will have to go through a period of grinding. In the second half, especially in the final moments, Zubac found the same gritty feeling he had before the injury. With Leonard replaced, Bryant continued to hold a 14-point advantage, and in the final moments, a crucial rebound shattered the Warriors' hopes of a comeback.
It was a great game and the Clippers had a hard-fought three-game winning streak. The All-Star Game is about to start, and I want to get all these old guys up and ready for the next game.
