The Clippers G6 fought with their backs, and Leonard continued to be absent! The Clippers were still able to maneuver with the Mavericks in the first half, and Irving made a direct effort to open the score in the third quarter! In the end, the Clippers were unable to chase the score 101:114 to the Mavericks, and the total score was 2:4 in the first round!
In this game, Tyronn Lue finally took Tucker out and started directly, the Clippers' first score was his three-point shot, 3-of-5 in the game, 2-of-3 three-pointers to get 8 points, two offensive rebounds;
Wei Shao and Plumlee came off the bench at the same time again to rotate, Wei Shao continued to be emptied, twice outside iron, Pla Oyster was robbed of 4 offensive rebounds by the Mavericks in one defense, and the rebounds were infinitely exploded until they made a three-pointer!
This dream combination was only 1 point behind when Harden was replaced, and 8 points behind when he came back; almost exactly the same as the last game, and 9 points behind when he came back last time! Jones and Theis still haven't got a second of playing time, and Jones is a newcomer; Theis has something to be sorry for you Tyronn Lue? He was the Clippers' strongest bench and even the starting interior lineman, and you didn't give a chance? Plumlee, who was rotten into the mud, didn't lack a game in 6 games?
Basically, when you see the combination of Wei Shao + Plumlee in the live broadcast room, you know that the Clippers must lose this game!
The Mavericks really don't have to do anything, they just have to defend Harden to the death! Forcing him to play the ball, whether it is George, Wei Shao or whoever holds the ball, they can accept it!
Harden, who shot 5-of-16 from the field, 0-of-6 from three-point range and 6-of-7 from the free-throw line, had 16 points, 7 rebounds, 13 assists, 2 steals, 1 block and 1 turnover, with a plus/minus of -6. It can be seen that Harden wants to win, he faces the Mavericks' strongest defensive strategy, 13 assists and only 1 turnover! But without Leonard, it's obviously impossible for the Clippers to go far in the playoffs!
George, who shot 6-of-18 from the field, 2-of-10 from three-point range and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, had 18 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal, 1 block and 2 turnovers, and had a plus/minus of -19. Today George pulled down again, the offensive efficiency was very bad, and when the Clippers needed George to solve the problem with the ball, his ability was not up to the mark. As the team's second-in-command, he obviously failed, and he couldn't help Harden share the defensive pressure he was facing!
The other players won't comment on them one by one! The biggest pot this season must be Tyronn Lue, Theis doesn't need it, and Tucker only uses it in the last game! As a result, Wei Shao and Plumlee really made the Clippers miserable in this series! Whether he should stay next year or not, I don't know, but I don't think he is very good at using stars, and his adaptability is also a little worse!
The second is Leonard, as the team's highest-paid player! Harden has been so cushioned by him that he still can't make it to the end! How can I make sure you can play in the playoffs? It's too difficult!
The third is George! George is the second most expensive on the team, and it seems that he has only played one game in 6 games! I dare not look at the shooting percentage of other games, at this level, you are embarrassed to ask for a top salary! The Clippers have this space, so it is better to leave it to others!
The fourth is the combination of Wei Shao and Plumlee!
The fifth is Harden! But I think he's already above the passing grade, and there is only one big collapse in the whole series! Four games are outstanding, and today is at least passing!
Otherwise, if you look at Doncic 9-of-26 and 1-of-10 three-pointers, he scored 28 points and 13 assists! In fact, it's just because he has Irving by his side, a fairy teammate who has played well in all six games! If Harden is surrounded by a healthy Leonard, not George! I believe that Harden and Leonard will lead the Clippers to eliminate them!
In general: 1. Tyronn Luke will not stay, it depends on whether there are other coaches to choose from; find the right one first!2. Plumlee can throw him out, and Jones will train him well; 3. Wei Shao is only suitable for playing in the regular season, or he still needs to train a backup point guard with baskets!4. George will stay if the price is good, let him go if it is expensive, find a star power forward, don't let Leonard play as a power forward! He is probably injured because of the long-term big forward position!5. Harden is almost 110 million for 3 years; in this year's playoffs, there is still a lot of oil!
Don't blame the Clippers too much, no team can skip the first round without an absolute core star!
The Clippers are not like the Suns and Lakers, they are all online, but they are still powerless to compete; the core team is retained, and they still have the ability to compete for the championship! And their problems are very clear, and how to make up for them is also very clear! If George stays on the team cheaper, then dispose of Plumlee, and Mann doesn't need to stay, this money can find a space forward; George plays a scoring guard, if he doesn't plan to train Hyland, use him to trade an experienced backup point guard, to have three points! Hyland has potential, don't waste people's time! The core benches are Powell, Coffey and Jones, and they can still be led by Harden!
It's just their first year, or start to keep giving the chance to watch another year!
