In this derby,ClippersThe defensive intensity was not very good, and they didn't give the game enough attention like the opponent Lakers. In contrast, the Lakers showed playoff intensity in the game. The 39-year-old was in the gameJamesYou can even jump off the free throw lineGeorge, which clearly shows the disparity between the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams.
It's doubtful that Tyronn Lue is scientifically spore farming and doesn't really want to win this game. ClippersObviously they didn't put in enough effort in the game and didn't show the competitiveness they should have.
At the last moment of the game, whenClippersWith only three points trailing, Lue called a final timeout. First of all, the timing of this pause is strange because:ClippersThe disadvantage in the game is not big;Second, Lue decided to replace the core of the team after a timeoutLeonard, came on as a substitute and did not re-send the small card until 17 seconds left in the game.
This decision to substitute players is puzzling. Although after the game, Lu explained that the small card has a time limit, and becauseClippersAfter that, there were 8 days and 5 games, so I was replacedLeonard。But the explanation is still puzzling, so why not keep the playing time of the core players at the end of the game?
AboutClippersIn the last three minutes, there are also things that are difficult to understand. GeorgewithHardenHe chose to play with Zubac and then singled out the thick eyebrows, but he didn't achieve a good shooting percentage. What's puzzling about this tactical choice is that Zubac has arguably been one of the best defensive players this seasonGeorgewithHardenThe speed and bounce are not very outstanding, so why don't they choose to challenge Reeves, who is less defensive
Actually, if it weren't for Zubac grabbing an offensive rebound in the final moments and lettingPowellHit all three of the free throwsClippersIt may not be possible to drag the game into the final moments at all.
To sum up, this timeLos AngelesSome of the details in the derby suggest that Tyronn Lue doesn't really want to win the game, raising doubts about whether he used the tactics of scientific spore farming. First of all,Clippers's defensive intensity is not enough, and there is a clear gap compared to the Lakers' intensity. Second, Lue made some inexplicable decisions at key moments in the game, such as substitutions and summoning unnecessary timeouts. Finally,ClippersThe tactical choices at the end of the game were also puzzling, not taking full advantage of the opposing players.
These details can be interpreted from different angles. One interpretation is that Lue may have given up on winning in this game and opted to focus more on protecting the players' bodies and condition. Another possibility is that he didn't think this regular-season win meant much to the overall development of the team and therefore didn't give it his all.
However, either way it is interpreted, it is unacceptable for the team and the fans. As a top team,ClippersIt is necessary to show a higher competitiveness and fighting spirit. Only then will you be able to win more games and make a difference in the playoffs.
Finally, we look forward to Taryn LughClippersThe team was able to learn from this game and show more strength and determination in future matches. I believe they will be able to bounce back and meet the next challenges in better shape. Come on,Clippers
