The Clippers and Pistons game itself didn't have much suspense, but when George and Leonard didn't play, the strength of both sides came to the same level.
In the final three minutes of the game, the Pistons led the Clippers by eight points. Even in the final 46 seconds, the Pistons were five points ahead of the Clippers. But then the Pistons seemed to think of their mission and began to make a series of mistakes.
Mann and Batum teamed up to steal, and Reggie opened his hand in front of the field to hit a three-pointer to tie 98-98. In the next round, Sadiq Bay made another mistake, and the Clippers had the advantage of the final attack and had a chance to kill the game.
The ball went to Reggie, who had the best feel of the game, and Reggie dribbled the ball in succession to the top of the arc of the mid-range jump shot, and the knife fell steadily to hit the Pistons, leaving only 2.3 seconds for the Pistons. In the end, the Pistons conceded three points, and the Clippers won an unexpected victory.
Of course, you should also know that the Pistons are Reggie's old owners, and the two sides did not seem to be very happy when they broke up. In February, Reggie and the Pistons reached a buyout deal, and Reggie chose to join the Clippers.
In the 18-19 season, Reggie played a full 82 games. However, the next season, Reggie missed 42 games due to a back injury, and the Pistons lost patience with the five-year veteran and began to decide to buy him out.
After signing Reggie on a five-year contract in 2015, Big Van Gundy said: "The only important thing we did throughout the process was to make sure we signed him. "Now this long contract has become a thorn in the flesh of the piston, which is somewhat ironic.
A year later, Reggie killed the old owner at the Pistons' home stadium, which was the best proof of his own strength. For more than a year, Reggie has grabbed time in the Clippers, from the bench to the starter, and the offensive firepower has been online.
Reggie Jackson has always been good at fighting the old lord. In March 2016, the Thunder lost to the Pistons, and Reggie made a white crane-winged celebration and looked at the Thunder bench after hitting all two key free throws.
This provocative action infuriated the Thunder crowd, and Wei Shao said, "His departure has no impact on us at all." Obviously he doesn't want to stay with the Thunder and his departure won't change our team. ”
Durant, who didn't play that game, put it this way: "I think everyone likes to stay here, except for one guy. "What's interesting about this is that after a few months not everyone likes to stay there.
At the beginning, Reggie left the Thunder in order to be able to play the first, in order to be able to take the initiative to trade with the leader. Later, he signed a big contract, but he never went any further, and the only thing that is certain is that he certainly did not regret leaving the Thunder.
Tomorrow will usher in 30-year-old Reggie Jackson, may his career have a second spring.
