Amazing! It's a long road trip where the Clippers win when they need to win and lose when they need to lose, and the pace is just right. Let the Lakers, abuse the Wizards, kill the Wolves, lose the Bucks, reverse the Rockets, and under the dazzling operation, the Clippers are firmly docked at the West Pier 4.
Among them, the Clippers gave the Lakers and Zhan Huang a favor, which not only avoided meeting the Lakers in the playoffs, but also contributed to the "411" project of the first person in the league.
It was a real fight with the Timberwolves and experienced the intensity of the playoffs in advance. On the one hand, the Clippers avenged the previous double kill, and on the other hand, they strengthened their own confidence, and the first place in the West is just that.
Although the remnants of the Bucks ranked second in the East, they knew their quality in the third quarter of the battle and could not win again. It's just that the Clippers released the water in a bit of a hurry at the end, which aroused everyone's suspicions, and the pickled pepper inadvertently leaked his mouth, and the alliance sent a message to investigate. But no matter how much you investigate, there is no way to find any definite results.
The only thing I didn't expect was that when the Clippers abused the vegetable wizards, they actually fractured Wei Shao's left hand, which was definitely an accident!
It's March 7, 2024, and the Clippers are heading to Houston to challenge the Rockets. The Rockets are Harden's old club, and when Harden put on the towel of the Rockets and signed for the fans on the spot, the fans seemed to have returned to the era of chanting MVP in 2018. It's a pity that no one is young anymore, and time can't be turned back.
Familiar rhythm, familiar plot.
As soon as the war was ignited, the aging Clippers encountered the impact of young rockets one after another, and for a while they felt like "beating the master to death with a stick".
The Houston Youth relied on fast breaks and shooting, and the Rockets built a 10-plus point advantage in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the Rockets used their passionate performance to further increase the score. During this period, Whitmore even attracted full applause with a big windmill slam dunk in the fast break. The Rockets played their happiest time, leading the Clippers by as many as 20 points at one point.
But how can the Clippers' hard power be underestimated?
With the Clippers' championship coach Lu Decisively winning Zubac, who had no achievements in the first half, he sacrificed a five-small lineup and quietly changed the situation of the game through the acceleration ......of offense and defense
Especially at the end of the game, the Big Three of Pepperden shared almost all of the Clippers' scores. The small card, which is as steady as an old dog, scored and steals as always, making the Rockets new army miserable. "Ghost General" George also changed his wave throw in the first half and switched to a state of horizontal sword. Harden sits in the midfield, strategizing and directing. When the Clippers got all serious, the Houston Youth Army's defense gradually collapsed.
Take a look at the following statistics: Leonard 28 points, 6 boards, 7 assists and 2 steals, Harden 21 points, 5 boards and 7 assists, George 21 points, 7 boards and 2 assists, when the Big Three scored all 20+, it means that the Clippers are starting to play seriously. With the score at 42:30 in the fourth quarter, you can imagine how violent the Clippers' final wave was.
That's the Clippers' hard power.
