After building Leonard and Paul George's Pepper duo, the Clippers, although the first season was staged by the Nuggets in the playoffs, became the laughing stock of the league, but with Tyrone Lu taking office to inject the concept of team basketball into this team, and reached the Western Conference Finals with the core Leonard injured last season, creating the best record in team history! In the new season, they have not yet played one game in Leonard, and Paul George has also played a good performance due to injury and missed many games, but before many NBA celebrities revealed that the two of them are likely to not return this season, the team will also give up strategically to greatly hit the morale of the team, they also suffered two consecutive losses, and in this regular season, the Clippers encountered the same poor performance of the Pacers, although there is no pepper combination, But the Clippers still played a very good overall offense in the game, establishing a 19-point lead early, but the Pacers launched a strong counterattack in the final quarter, and once saw the hope of reversing the victory, this time veteran Batum stepped forward, scored 18 points in the final quarter, and helped the Clippers beat the Pacers 139-133, ending their losing streak!
The Pacers, who previously played well in the East with team basketball, suddenly became unable to play in the new season, which is why the team management chose to completely tear down the rebuild, and those players who are deeply involved in trade rumors must be hoping to play a good performance, so as to gain the favor of strong teams and win a chance to impact the championship for themselves.
In this game against the Clippers, interior core Sabonis Jr. showed his full personal ability, one person contributed 19 points, 11 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks of quasi-triple-double data, LeVert's performance was equally remarkable, the first game scored a team-high 26 points, and in the first round of the draft, the potential rising star Duarte, who was selected by the Pacers with the 13th pick in the first round, maintained a high offensive efficiency, soaring 24 points on 10 of 14, and their outstanding performance was the Pacers. At one point it was very close to completing the cause of the Great Reversal.
Despite the team's serious injury troubles, the Clippers still let fans see the team basketball concept of head coach Tyrone Lu, three veterans are in the game, proving their worth, Gigi King Reggie Jackson, although the three-point feeling is not good, only 1 of 7 performance, but contributed 26 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals, Morris Jr. got 21 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.
Pierpon Batum, France, which has always been regarded as the owner of the NBA's largest poison contract, became the savior of the Clippers in this game, especially in the final quarter, when the Pacers played an offensive climax and looked like they were about to overtake the score, each time Batum stepped forward to hit a three-pointer, scored 18 points in a single quarter, and made 7 of 10 shots from outside the three-point line in the whole game, contributing 32 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks!
In the case of seeing such excellent performances of role players, many Clippers fans hope to see the Pepper combination and be able to stage the return of the king this season, after all, there is no absolute strong person in the West today, as long as the Pepper combination can continue the previous personal performance, they have a great chance to lead the team to win the first championship in team history!
