In a highly anticipated NBA game, the Clippers' matchup with the Bucks took center stage, only to lose by a score of 106-113. The game was full of ups and downs, leading in the first quarter, overtaking in the second quarter, and gaining the upper hand again in the third quarter, but the Bucks counterattacked in the final quarter. At the same time, the weakness of the Clippers' interior line has once again become the focus of fans' attention. What's even more striking is that there seems to be a tactical disagreement between Harden and Leonard within the team, which is undoubtedly a big storm for a team competing for a championship.
1.The interior line is weak, and the Clippers' two-game winning streak is ended: the Clippers are powerless to recover from the loss of the interior.
The biggest failure of the Clippers in this game is the lack of interior line. The Bucks took advantage of the Clippers' weak interior and launched a strong counterattack in the final quarter, causing the Clippers to completely lose control of the game. In the first two quarters, the Clippers led the point difference at one point, but the interior collapse in the final quarter became the main reason for their loss.
2.The Clippers are difficult to resist the Bucks' offensive wave on the inside: The shortcomings of the interior are exposed, and they can't prevent the Bucks from attacking.
The Clippers inside looked powerless against the Bucks' offense, especially in the final quarter. With a strong interior offense, the Bucks played a 15-0 climax in a row and successfully counterattacked, causing the Clippers defense to collapse instantly. It also raises questions about the strength of the Clippers' interior line.
3.The Clippers' end-quarter mistakes are concentrated, and Harden has no sense at all: dumb fire at critical moments, and the Clippers' last-quarter mistakes are the key to success or failure.
At the critical moment in the final quarter, the Clippers' offense suddenly lost power, and the defense could not stop the Bucks' wave of offense. Although Harden scored 10 consecutive points in the first half, he was in a state of dumb fire at the critical moment, making the Clippers lose the rhythm of the game. Leonard said in the interview: "The reversal shouldn't have happened tonight, we had to execute better, we had to be more focused after the timeout, and the responsibility for the loss was on me. ”
4.Harden and Leonard disagreed, and the tactics were inconsistent: The tactics were inconsistent, and the Clippers couldn't escape the blame for the final quarter loss.
During the game, the Clippers were divided in the final quarter. Harden wanted to continue his hot streak, while Leonard tried to take over the game, resulting in inconsistent tactics. This disagreement left the Clippers without a unified offensive plan and lost at a critical moment. "We knew what we were going to do, there were so many slots on the court, but in that small lineup, we were a little bit confused, like who's supposed to cover or whatever, and that's all up to us," Harden said in the interview. ”
5.Leonard accepts the responsibility and calls for a quick forget-out of the defeat subheading: Small-card responsibility, calling for a focus on the next game.
Leonard said in an interview that the defeat was his responsibility, but also stressed that the team needs to quickly forget about this defeat and focus on the next game. Xiaoka's responsible attitude won the understanding of the fans, and also built positive confidence for the Clippers in future games. Harden also said in the interview: "We need to grab rebounds, maybe we shouldn't use a small lineup. ”
Summary: This game was a painful lesson for the Clippers, and the interior shortcomings were once again a stumbling block for them to overcome strong opponents. Disagreements and tactical inconsistencies within the team are a reminder of the need for better coordination of tactical concepts between players in order to achieve better coordination in key moments. The Clippers need to learn from this loss, quickly adjust their form, prepare for the next game, maintain the overall coordination of the team, and strive for a better record.
