Beijing time on January 26, the NBA regular season continued, the Clippers 116-115 away victory over the Wizards, this game can be called the most dramatic game so far this season, the Clippers only scored 2 points in the opening half of the quarter, the Wizards took the opportunity to play a wave of 17-2, came up to establish a 15-point lead, at the end of the first quarter, the Clippers 23-32 behind the Wizards.
In the second quarter, the Clippers were still completely untouched, nearly half a quarter did not score a point, this quarter clippers a total of 20 shots 5, only scored 13 points, the Wizards continued to expand the advantage, a single quarter to play 34-13, at the end of the half, the Clippers have been 36-66 behind 30 points, at most 31-66 trail 35 points.
If it is an ordinary team, it is 30 points behind in the first half, and the second half is basically out of play, but don't forget, the coach of this team is Tyren Lu.
After entering the second half, the Clippers finally began to exert their strength, playing 40-27 in the third quarter, chasing the 30-point difference to 17 points; in the fourth quarter, the Clippers were still hot, and the single quarter once again exploded 40-22, successfully completing a 35-point reversal.
The most dramatic is probably the last 10.5 seconds:
— With 10.5 seconds left, the Clippers trailed by 6 points 109-115, still with little chance of winning, when Kennard received the ball and hit a direct three-point shot, and the Clippers chased the score to 112-115, with 9.0 seconds left
— With 9.0 seconds left, the Wizards sent the ball and called a timeout, with only 8.2 seconds left
— With 8.2 seconds left, Kuzma served a five-second violation and the ball was handed over to the Clippers
— With 8.2 seconds left, the Clippers served the ball to Winslow at the backcourt, dribbled to the front court and passed the ball to Kennard, who twisted his body and scored three-pointers against two people, the ball was scored, and there was a penalty, with 1.9 seconds left, and the Clippers equalized 115-115
— With 1.9 seconds left, Kennard added a free throw to give the Clippers 116-115 Wizards, the first time the Clippers were leading since the start
- With 1.9 seconds left, the Wizards desperately played the backcourt, Kuzma passed Harrell out of bounds, and the winner was divided
What is the concept of the 35-point reversal?
This is the second largest reversal point difference in the NBA since the 1996-97 season, the first reversal point difference is from 1996, and the Jazz have been behind by as many as 36 points when they beat the Nuggets
The Clippers only scored 36 points in the half, and scored 40 points in the third and fourth quarters, the first in history
In the past 20 years, the league has seen a total of 16,239 last 20 seconds behind by 7 points, only the Cavaliers in 2014 (won in overtime) and today's Clippers completed the reversal
There is no doubt that Kennard is the biggest contributor to this victory, from 9.0 seconds to 1.9 seconds left in the fourth quarter, in just 7.1 seconds, Kennard shot a super long three-point and a difficult "3+1", and one person cut 7 points - if Miller's 8 seconds and 8 minutes are a miracle, then Kennard of 7 seconds and 7 minutes is definitely qualified to go down in history.
Down the field, Kennard shot a total of 8 of 13, 8 of 8 three-pointers, had 25 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, including 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists in the second half - the small card is not there, this is the real Nader in Los Angeles.
Throughout the season, Kennard averaged 11.9 points per game, 43.2%/43.6%/88.1% from three fields, and 60.0% from the real range of shots — remember the doubts about Kennard in last year's playoffs.
Finally, a wave of Tyrenlu must be blown.
In the past two weeks alone, Tyronelu's team has completed three 20+ or more reversals, in addition to the 35-point reversal Wizards in this game, the Clippers have reversed 25 points against the Nuggets, and the Clippers have reversed 24 points against the 76ers.
So it's no joke, the nickname "God of Reversal" is really not in vain, as Tyronelu said after the game today: "We want to create a team atmosphere that never gives up and fights all the time." If it is only once or twice, it is hard, but so many reversals, that is strength.
Speaking of which, this year's Clippers are indeed admirable, Leonard has not played a game so far, George has also been absent for nearly two months, less double core, frequently play super reversals, the winning rate can be maintained at about 50%, until the two return, this team is undoubtedly a championship team, Lu coaching, really has the ability.
